A Lb..n son was destroyed by fire iast Saturday night abont 7 o'clock. The cause of the fire is unknown, but matny think it was the work of an incendiary. This is the second barn burned in this town withmn awek and the freqgnency of fires in this town is c.using the citizens to bcome alarmed. Last Wednesday night in the Pine Grove ne'ghborhood Mr. A. F. Cokr was severely c'ut by his son, Bosie Caker. tbue irntor muattin we have is that the old gentie.a'! was chastising onte of his younger children wh:-n the tudest son livin;g at home set upon him with a knife and cat him in sev eral p~aces. The injuries are sern. '., hat not necessarily fatal. The statements of those wvho La're been eured by IHod's Sairsaparilla prove the great iu.rit of this medicine. Get only Ihood's.

Out of Work and Disappointed in Love, the Yonting 3an )term:ined to Kidi Himself - Hle Took Ladiudatniu - - Two betters Written Just Befotre the Deed Was Done. W. C.

The le1tt to the young lady statei thatt B' gal eale-i lts life on accnt of her htavi: beit-r ed her affections on another. Ba?:'s hat lines to his mother were to the effect that be could' in na work to do and that he preferred deat to idlenies. After eating breakfast at 8 o'o!eck s.t Sunday mornin Bagnal went to his room. As this was the let Been of him "livo, and' hid b dv had il ready bea.in to dompose wn forud, there is every reason to bzlievea that the voutg man swa :owed the contents of the bottle anti went to bed Soon after he tin ished-, his morning meal.

Ali day Thur!dav, Friday and Saturday Bagt! drank heav:ly, attraeting th att ration of the freqnenters about the lobby of the Cal houn. It was evident from the g:yity of his clothes and his general appearance that the stranger was a per.n ot some stand Fromt Thursday tornin:.: until Saturday nigh: Bagnal ma h' a nnuiber of acquaint 'tes the most observ.int of wlm: did not fail to notiCe that the vn.. rn:i acted in a rather peculiar man:- . Ia addition to hi int'xicated conditi;:n h: seemned to b2 in a melaneboiy and despondent. mood, ao :1 nad* frequent refeiencts to his uusuccess fal efforts to find a situation. Saturday night he drank ior heavily than usual, and staggered into his room about 11 o'clock. The ntxt morning he arose before daylight and came down into the lobby and sat by the stove for about five minutes. He told Sau Thompson that he intended to go back to bed and get a few hours' sleep before rising again. He bade Thompson good-bye and ascended the lob by stairs. This was the last seen of him alive. One of the bell boys saw Bagn:d go to his room and close the door behind him. Sunday the young man did not show up and the hotel attachees thinking that he was sleeping off the effects of his Saturday night's spree, decided not to disturb him. Yesterday morning Bagnal's room door was still locked and up to 11 o'clock he had not put in his appearance. A chambermaid knocked on the door, but receiving no re sponse, she reported the matter to Htad Clerk Barlow. Mr. Barlow went up and forced open the door. H" was horrified to see the prostrate form of the young stran ger lying on the bed coll in death. Blood was lowly oozing from the mouth of the dead man and altogtther the spcctacie that met the eyes of Clerk Barlow was a grue some one indeed. Coroner Rivers was no tified and a few minutes later appeared on the scene. The coroner after making an examination of the room found a bottle of laudanum on the dresser e'nd the dead man's clothes hanging on 4.2. .': beside the bed. On the bureau at few inche from the poison were two rnotes written in pencil and unsealed. 'The first one was atddressed to Miss Bonnie Brown of Sumter. care of the Rev. C. C. Brown, and in part was as follows: "I am now going to try a different world and if you had only been faithful to nme things 'would have been different with me. But von will never know the agony I suf fered'before I did this. If I had never met you I would never have committed this eed." The other note was addlre-sed tt Mrs. I. M. Bagnal, Manning, S. C. It was as fol lows: 'To my Loving $Iother: Don't worry your self any longer about m?e, for I ann going to a different wo'rld. I hope there is some thing better for me there. I tried to get work sy d after I could not I would rather lie than tramp and lay out. TIeli pt that no parent ever loved a child more than he did his only son.

Bagnali was about 23 years old and up to Ia short time before he catme to Charleston he was emp loyed in the Davis Hardware Copan's stoie at Matnning. It is said tht he fost his p'osition and immiediately s~t out to seek other emp11loyiment. Hie had a nber of letters cert!Iyng to the excel anece of his~ character anti standing in Man. The following dispatch was received from \Inning last night: Manning, Nov. 22.-Special: Manning is shoced at the suicide of young Wt lie Bgal who too.k laudanunm in Charleston. H~it fther, L M. Baignal, is one of our best et zens, and the young man stood well, his bre t fault hein druk. He left here a few da s ago to go to Charleston to seek em loym~ ent, armed wit'i several letters of rcom endation, excepting as to his drink g J. H. L. Mr. Louis Appelt and Capt. W. C. Davis, a cousin of young Bagnal, and Mr. E. C. 1orto arr'ived in thee cty last night to look atter the remains of the dheecased. Mr. Ap. pelt, in conversation wxith a reporter for the News and Courier, said that the rews of the young noan's death ha.l been received with universal regrot at M~anig The above is a corrected account of what appeared in yesterday moru ug's News and Courier. The body arrived in Manning yes terdty morning and was met at the depot by a large concourse of friends, wo escorted the remains to the cemetery, wvhere an impressive ser vice was conducted by Rev. James McDowell. pastor of the Presbyterian church, assisted by Rev. W. H-. Hod ges of thle Methodist church and Rev. J. 0. Gough of the Baptist church. His grave was covered with beautiful floral offerings, some of which came from friends in another towin. We might add that warm sy-mpa thy was expressed by many in Char leston for the family of the deceased. The bad and tragic deathi of Willie Bagnal has lacerated the hearts of his family who were devoted to him. and it has brought sorrow to the en tire community. The young man wvas deservedly pop~ular and he had many noble traits of character. 1-i was a young man of line business ability and gentle manners and one who was calculated to make friendt wherever he wvent.

THE Does not expect to do business with the people of Claren don for a few days or weeks or months, but for years, and we hope by honest dealing to gain the confidence of our pat taons. There is nothing more distastefal to us than cheap John methods of doing busi ne.0, and we don't propose to adopt such tactics to attract trade. We keep some shoddy stock on hand bccause there is a demand for it, but -our patrons shall be fully advised as to the merit of the goods they buy from us, for we will not put our guarantee on worthless articles. We have already lost some money by refusing to deceive customers as to the char aeter of material that loolks good but is not so, and we expect to lose munch more in this way, but when the people of Clarendon come to know us better they will appreciate our honest method of dealing and then our losses will be "as seed sown on good ground." We buy llardware, Tiimrie, MillSI1pplics &Wagon Material Wherevever they can be bought to best advantage and we sell the same as low as they can be sold by aniy one doing an honest business. IThe Manning H ardware Company extends a hearty invitation to the peo ple of Clarendon to visit their plece of business, and if in need of anything in our line we shall do our best to please and give satisfaction as to price and quality.
