Judges of the weed say it is a very good sample of what is known as "lugs." What lady in this town will take the in iative, and start a movement to punt some one in charge ot the Manning cemetery? It is almost useless to depend upon the men for they seem to prefer to have the "'homxe of the dead" converted into a cow pasture. Pure Apple Vinegai', the best for pick ling and table use. R. B. Loryea, the drug gist. A colored man by the name of John Green, living near Alco:u, died suddenly last Monday. The deceased went to woik in his field and was suddenly taken ill. He went to his house and lay down on a bed where death camue to him in about thirty minutes. There are several wvho would like to bring us the first watermelon, but what interests us most is to know who the first one will be. The man that brings us the first forty-pound melon can have his pho tograph hung up in our office. Who wants this distinguished honor? The people admire gratitude in politics as well as in anything else and when anman is proven guilty of ingratitude, it justly takes from him any popularity he n'ight have heretofore enjoyed. There are some men who never recall kindness done to them unless they see something in it for them; such men forget that chickens come home to roost. Brockinton is up to date on cold milk shakes and cococola. The way the Manning cemetery is being neglected is a disgrace to a civilized coim munity. Instead of it receiving that tender care a sacred spot should, it has become a cow pasture for the public to graze their cows upon. We have on several occasions called the attention of those interested to this sad condition, but all we have Lereto fore said has f dlen upon indiiferent ears. If those who have mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers and children buried in the eeie tery are content to leave their grave s to be trampled upon by cows there will be noth ing for as to do but to sub~mit and share in the blame. Daiing the storm of Last Thursday- night a house on the "'Pack place," utar DL v:s, owned by Rivers & W\haley, of Ch tri-ston, occuied' by Mr. Isaac Browder, was litted by the wind and carried several hundred yards.

When young people get so loving as to sit on a railroad track to hug and kiss they should watch in opposite directions to see that they are not being seen, even at the risk of getting blind. A couple last Satur day afternoon not far from Manning were observed er joying each other's caresses and embraces,kisses and sweet sayngs and each of them wt re totally oblivious that a whole world surrounded them. They forgot that the railroad track beneath them anct tele graph wires above them are used as a means of communication and every time they em braced each other and osculated, the oscu lation recorded itself upon the wires and communicated the blissful happening straightway to THE TDIEs office. We feel very kindly towards the lovesick couple and sympathize with them in their desire to keep their little affairs private, it is for this reason we would advise them to keep off the track whether the engine blows or not. It is said that walls have ears, but if they have, they are deaf and dumb and young friends, if you will indulge in the pleasure of osculation, let it be from be neath the wires. A stranger coming into Manning cannot but be impressed with the progressive movement now on foot. Just think of it Four new brick stores now in course of erection, two of which are nearly completed and the other two will be ready for occu pancy by the middle of August at the latest. All four of these stores are engaged and as soon as they are ready, will be occupied by a set of young live merchants who realize that they must compete with old merchants who have a line of custom ers. If they are up-to-date business men they will not be content to divide the trade already coming here, but will create such a stir in the purchasing world as to attract the attention of trade now going to other towns. We are glad to see this and we believe before the fall season is over the town of Manning will be participating in a trade such as she has never witnessed be fore. The old saying 'othe more the mer rier" is a true one, and --competition is the life of trade" is such an acknowledged maxim, that wherever opposition presents itself, liva business men seem to sniff it in the gale and prepare for the fray in ad vance. Just watch the cash trade of M1an ning this fall. " For three years we have never been wvithout Caamberluiu's Colic. Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy in the house," says A. H. Patter, with E.C.

We have us dsit iwith all three of cour children and it ha never failed to cure-not simply stop pain. but cure absolutely. It is all right. and anyone wvho tries it will find it so.' For sale by R.

Connor, a son of the late RI. S. Connor. Our readers in .\anning will remember Tommy Con nor, who left here several years ago to en Igage in his chosen profession- telegraphy. He has held several important positions and has always so conducted himself as to have the higlhest esteem of his employers: One cf the most auspicious events that has lately occurred in our city was the re cent marriage of Mlr. Thomas A.Con nor and i1ss Lucv E. Sharpe. On the~ afternoon of June 13th, they we-e pronounced husband and wife, by the Rev. W. E. Dozier, pastor of the Presbv terian church in this place. The scene impressed itself upon those that witnessed it, as one long to be re embered, as manly groom and beautiful bride plighted their vows to God, and each other, for wveal and for woe. The groom is a popular railroad man of tis place, but formerly of Charleston, S. C. His deportment and attentian to busi ness has been such as to gain for him the conidence and esteem of all wvho know The bride is the second daughter of oni well known fellow-townsman, and editor of the " Free Press," Hon.

It is well knollw1 that various, attortneys for great corporations 1I Newv York go to 12hi for advice. and the givillg of this advice is one source of his ample annual revenues. The judge is a muost delightful raeonteur, as all adiit who have listened to himl when the eigars and cordials are put on the table at the Waldorf or at Delmonico's. Judge Siuonton has an account at a New York financial institution, or le did until recently. He has frequently been urged to re tire from the bench adl become alacsel for a corporatn Y in this city, but lie has persistently declined these invitations. Hie and John ('. Carlisle are good friends. The only embarassment connected with the Judge's career has mani fested itself during the past few years, but it occasions a good deal of talk in New York's financial circles, where the matter is of importance. This is the number of reversais of his decisions which Judge Simonton has had to endure, or, to speak more ac curately, the reversals of his funda mental rulings in great questions of consit.tional law. The fact that a judge's decisions are over ruled by the higher courts is not significant. But, when the fundamental theory upon which he bases a ruling is pro nounced unsound on appeal, the con sequences are apt to be serious. Cases, which in themselves are of little importance are of vital interest because they involve principles affeting numerous pending suits. Now, it has aroused comment during the past few years that Judge Simon Tol naigaizes by a sinigular fatality to get on the wrong side of the Su prele Court in his expositions of the constitutIon. He is also singularly il:felicitious in his quotation of pre edeuts, and somewhat original in his rulings. Those wvho best know 3 udge Siu onton account for these things in various ways. It hiappenis that the railroads within his jurisdiction hav-e been tangled iinto most confusing disorder through re-organizations and combinations and bonded debts. Were railroaas nothing but railroads pure and simple. Judge Simonton wculd not have so mnuch to do. But railroads, at least in this country, are finanial instituitionis, and1( the mnost iiotant of their functions is by no0 mueans translOrtationi. The Iinai'eial aspxet of railroading, its bonds and steeks and dividends and gzeneral mortgage creditors and so on. are things concerninig which J3udge Sim onton is thoroughly posted and can lav down the law with niarv-ellous eactness. But railroads arc required to carry pa5sengers and freight, and it is in the branch of the law~ relat ing to this mal:tter that the judge is not at home. To this effect ruius the exlaiation of those whlo attemp~t to acount for the circumustances in . udge Siluonton's career which. fronm thle nature of things, are pu1z ling to the la.y muind, ignorant of the law and uinable to pass anyi colulpe tet opinion upon the proceedings of a court To return. now, to tile decision just rendered by Judge Simonton, declar inig the Southl Carolina Dispensary lawv null anid void. Senator Tillman is quoted as saying that "Judge Simonton has rendered an infamous decision.'' lie further intimates that te whisker ::ug knew in advance what Jud'ge Simnonton's decision would be, but tihe friends of tile Judge cannot be exp)ected to credit this, even thcugh the attorney of tile whiskey ring and Judge Simuontoui are personial friends. The fact is that a judge, no matter how upright, is forced to be riore or les-~s on intimnate terms with Iuembers of the bar, and it is due to Judge Simionton to sav that he has frequently "-called down" the attorney of solue v'ast cor poration who has vecntured to assume swaggermng airs in his court. Sena tor Tilhunan. who has been a judge himself, says that in the Dispensary law ruling, "Judge Simonton re verses himself, for lie once upheld tihe Wilson law, which prevented this 'erv thing. His decision to-day neutralizes t'1e law passed in 1@0U by Congress, after thie original package deciion." iere is little doubt that before many y'ears thle goverment of 'country will be in a condition of eadlock owing to the passing of aws by one department. their eli forcement by another, and their nul lification by a third. This game of chekmatc grows more complicated 'ear by- year, even if it does not in x-olve the anlomialy of tile uullifica toin of laws made by thet lpeolle.
