Alston, traveling salesman for the Winchester Arms Company, who w. in Manning a few days ago, met with a pain ful accident in Charleston yester-lay. WY hile walking across a street his pistol dropped from his pocket and in his hurry to ret:rn it to his pocket his hand came in cont tot with the trigger and the pistol was dis charged; the ball entered his right forearm, making a very ugly wound. He is now laid up at the St. Charles hotel, where he is re ceiving medical attention. There was a "sell supper" at Cicero H ir vin's house, near Silver, last Friday nigt, and to enliven things the "raz r" was ab in doned and the pistol was resorted to. W Reed got into an altercation with Jiml P, tell and it resulted in Reed shootiug Post'i twice, from the effects of which he died h. Saturday afternoon. The coroner held an inquest and from the finding. of the jiry he lodged a warrant against Reed wim 1 thoe sheriff last Monday. sheriff Bradham sent a deputy to execute the warrant, but he could not tind his man. The authorities should look out and pun ish the parties in this county who are buy ing seed cotton without a license. There is a law requiring a license and some have complied with i-, but there are many others who are buying in utter disregard of the law and they should be handled. We arc opposed to the seed cotton license law, but s long as it is on the statute books we want to see; it enforced, and in order that the public may know who are lawfully treflic ing in seed cotton the Clerk of the Court should be required to publish a list of those to whom he has issued a license. A sham battle is to be fought at the State air and the Manning Guards have been invited to participate. Boys, here is an opportunity for a grand day for yon and you should take advantage of it. The man agement of the fair association have and are still spending lots of motley to make the fair this year a great success. The rail roads will give cheap rates and already an unusually large number of attractions have been booked. We want our soldier boys to go to Columbia as an organization and we hope to see the colors of the Manning Guards in the forefront at the battls. [he fair begins November 8th. Chief of Police Boyle of Charleston is making it hot for the "speak-easy" people, and knowing him to be a conscientious and a determined gentleman, we feel satisfied that his efforts to enforce the law will be satisfactory proof that the metropolitan po lice did not do their duty. Major Boyle is not the man to take an oath and then to gratify political friends wink at the viola tion of the law be has sworn to enforce. He will break up the "tigers" and 'gam bling hells" and some who were clamoring for a change, will find they have a greater change than they want. Charleston is to be congratulated upon having Major Boyle at the head of its police department. " An editor's life is not the bed of roses some imagine, and in this battle with life he comes across countless obstacles. If he publishes all that he bears about people it would be necessary to keep on hand a gat ling gun and a corps of sharp-shooters; then, when in the kin.dness of his heart he leaves off telling the world things they should perhaps know about some of his fellow citizens, the act is not appreciated; and again, should he indulg" in a little pleasantry, offense is taken, matters not how trivial the matter or how vague the hu mor may be. As for the editor of this paper, he has w'nade up his mind not to allow the cross-graiedness of any of his subscribers to worry him, but to continue paddling along in his own peculiar way, ard should he unfortunately offend, he is willing to make the proper amends, but if that is not satisfactory to the offended, the only way open, is to write a receipt for subscription due and strike off the name of the sensitive individual; A Card of Tha~nks. The good people of Manning. S. C., will please accept nmany thanks for the kind favors and attentions to my brother and myself during his sickness. Very sincerely, R. D. Cra.nx. Manning Academy.

Tindal, ex-post master at Packsville and ex-convict, for attempting to enter a house for the pur pose of committing rape. was concluded last Wednesday in Sumter. Tindal was found guilty, with recommendation to merc. Jud.:e Witherspoon said if Tindal was adjadged guilty of the crime with which he was charged he could not see where the recommendation for mercy came in, and but for the recommenciaion he would im pose the full penalty ot the law, but inas much as the recommendation had been made he would impose a sentence that Tin dat would not forget and at the same time would serve as a warning to others. Judge Witherspoon then sentenced Tindal to five yors in the penitentiary at hard labor. Tindal threw up both bands and exclaimed: "My God, is there no mercy for a widow's While Tindal was in jail awaiting trans portaton to the penitentiary to serve his sentence, he tried to suicide by taking mor phin e, but did not take enough to have the desired effect. How a Burglar was Captured. Sometime since, as appeared in the col umns of this paper, a negro was arrested in Mr. D. W. Alderman's store, at New Zion, in the Salem section, having in his posses sion a double barrel shotgun that he was offering for sale at four dollars. The low price at which he offered to sell attracted he attention and suspicion of Mr. Shaw, the gntleman in charge of the business at that place. Mr. Shaw telephoned the irumstances to Mr. Alderman at Alcolu and Mr. Alderman telephoned the Man ing Hardware Co. for a discription of the ne stolen Iromi them on the night of Ang 6th. The description given by the Man ig Hardlware Co. of one of their gun'. crresponin. exactly with the gun in pssessioin of the negro, his arrest was ordered andl was effected through the piopt a tion of Mr. Shaw and Mr. Harr The prisoner was brought to Manning by Deputy Sheriff Gamble and on the day lie was brought up before Mgistrate D.eksan for a hearing Mr. J. B. Spring, a gentleiuan fo.' Lake City, appeared orn the sc in' arnd caimed the gun as his property and~ th-st the p':isone-r had broken into his boune ne~r Lake City and had stolen the gun, to gether with other articles, some of which were found in his possession. therefrom. This complicated the case and the prison er was remandedi to jail until Mr. Spring could secure the proper warrant trom Maig itrate McCutcheon, of Like City. This he (lid in due tinie and the p~raoner we5 trned crer to the sheriff of W:liam.ba:-g county and on a he'aring being had it was poven that the gun was the property of Mr. J. B. Spring and that the prisoner was guilty of housebreaking and burglary. Vhs, through the efforts of the gentle men named and the communiention of Mr. Alderman's telephone line we see a rasc'al brought to justice. The Manning Har 1 ware Co. are still minus of their guns and bold and desperate burglar still at large. THE TRUE RIE'dEDY. W. M. Repine, editor Tiskilwa,. 1W1 "Chief," says: "We won't keep house with: out Dr. King's New Discovery' for Con sumption, Coughs and C.oldls.
