Sea Island cotton and Mr. Bradham is quite

Let hunters of all sorts understand that

on the evening of the 9th inst. Refresh

less for us to say what is in store for those

The State Board of Control has made a
cut in the prices of liquor, and the railroad
authorities have lifted the embargo against
original package dealers. Look out now for
a rum shop, with all of its offensive accoi
paniments, in our town. We hope the
town council will enforce its ordinance
strictly against non-residents doing bumi
ness here, and the good people of the town
will stand by them. A lawsuit against tho
town in such a cause, the council can well
afford to risk. Therefore the very first at
tempt to open an original package shop in
Manning should call forth the exercise of
authority given by the ord:nance. Counc.l
should not allow itself thwarted by threats
from the liquor dealers nor their attorneys.
We have it from a good legal mind that the
ordinance requiring a license from non
residents will hold in law.
Mr. Thos. F. Harmon, general agent for
"Ihe Home Mutual Fire Protective Associ
ation of South Carolina," was in town last
Friday and made a satisfactory settlement
with Mr. H. D. Rif for the damage done to
his stock in the late fire. This association is
so managed that the insured gets his fire
protection at a nominal cost compared with
the rates of tariff association companies and
in our opinion it is perfectly safe. We are
so well satisfied and have so much confi
dence in it that we have placed a good
part of our insurance in it. The gentle
men who have the financial management of
this institution are among Newvberry's best
md wealthiest busins ss men, and the gen
eral manager, Mr. Harmon, understands
avery detail of insurance work. The asso
:.ation has secured the services of Mr. J.
D. Alsbrook who will write policies in the
interest of the association.

The readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that tWere is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure
in all its stages and that is catarrh. Hall's
Catarrh Cure is the only positive curn now
known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in its work. The pro
prietors have so much faith in its curative
powers that they oiT=r one hundred dollars
for any case that it fi.ils to cure. Send for

THE DISCOVERY OF THE DAY.
Aug. J. Bogel, the leading druggist o
Shreveport, La., says: "Dr. King's New Dis
covery is the only thing that cures m:
cough, and it is the best seller I have." J
F. Campbell, merchant of Safford, Ariz.
writes: "Dr. King's New Discovery is al
that is claimed for it; it never fails, andi
a sure cure for consumption, coughs an<
colds. I cannot say enough for its merits.
Dr. King's New Discovery for consumption
coughs and colds is not an experiment. I
has been tried for a quarter of a century
and to-day stands at the head. It never dis
appoints. Free trial bottles at R. B. T o

i~ Fearful Accident.
.A v'e-y sad accident occurred within th<
corporate limits on Mr. W. S. Harvin's rail
road lau Maonday afternoon. Mr. J. W
tead, while under the influeuce of liquor
laid~ down beside the track and the log traui
came around the curve backing out into tb<
woods. The engineer, Alex. Betran, coult
not have seen the unfoitunate man as ther<
were five trucks between his engine an<
the man. He felt a jar as if a truck hat
jumped the track, and as quick as possibli
he put on the brakes, and to his horror he
discovered that he had struck a man. Be
tran immediately gave an alarm and in
few minutes a crowd gathered at the place
At first it was not known who the mat
was, as he was dou'bled up, with his heat
jammed against the track and his moutl
bruised. The writer, on arriving, aske<
that the body be moved where it could h<
laid out for identification. As soon as thi
poor man was straightened out, it was a
once identified as Mr. Stead, who but:
short while before had been seen going ix
that direction. Upon examination it wa
found he had received a glancing blow fron
a truck wheel which scraped off hair fron
the -ide of his head, and it appeared tha
his neck was broken also.
Mr. Harvin was notified and he immedi.
ately despatched a messenger for the coro
ner. who arrived after dark, and at one~
held the inquest. Dr. Geiger made the os
amination and he found besides the blot
upon the side of the head, wvhere a sever<
blow was inflicted upon the breast whicl
crushed into the lung and which probabi:
caused death.
The engineer was held entirely blame
less and very properly so. After the in
quest the body was removed to the man'
home, at the residence of his father-in-law
Mr. W. R. White.
Mr. Stead had been a citizen of Mannin;
for several years, coming originally fron
North Carolina. He was about 38 years e
age and a painter by trade. About tw,
years ago he married the daughter of Mx
W. R. White, who survives him. The fo
nral took place yesterday at Oak Grove.

They Made Him Sweat.
Clarendon has had a lynching bee with.
out the loss of life, and the victims were
only put to a painful inconvenience. The
repert to us is, in e1Y.c:t. that on last Wed.
nesday night whi:e Marion Dochette, r
white man livin:g ::bout two miles west of
Siumerton, was sitting :t his tireplace with
a ilegreSs named Alice Sweat, and Bo.
c'ette's wife and five children were in an.
other part of the house, a party of men en.
tered the house and from it took Boche tte
and Alice and applie l a buggy tree t >
both of them. The arties who did t::is
deed are unknown to t, bt it is unfo ::I
nate they should have t i-n the law into
their own han:ls. If B ocbette and this wo.
:.un were vi sting the law and the decency
of the connunittx, it would have been far
better to have gone before a tmistrate and
had the:u aunti-bl by th11 lw. W real
ize the fact' t:t it is a ai' "lt natter to
find convictin:, prof ta. paruish in such
cases, neverthless, the whole c'mmun:ty
knows to a m ral certainty that such a inis
erable c:'nditton exists. In such a c:'e it
wouldi be weil to empliy s n' olie to t.'r
out the evidence rathv than estabisli a
preceder.t of taking the law into our own
hands.
If Bocliette's relations with this womaan
were of such a character t!:t h. deserved
punishment, and we must take it for graut
ed that they were. for no body of men in
that comuniunity would have molested him,
unless his conduct was unbearably obnox
ious, it seems to us they could have found
sufficient evidencte t.' convict him in a
court of law. The buggy trace penalty
might have a good efiect,aud cause a stop to
be put to his Sweat, but it does not have
the effect upon the community at large that
a long serviee in the State penitentiary
would have.
Here is a case in which the grand jury of
Clarendon County will be tierrlict in duty
if they do no. look into. A nan and wo
man living in a ciiliz-i co:u:unity within
easy reach of schoois and churches, make
themselves so obnoxious by their hellsh
lust, that decency will not permit it to con
tinue without a show. of disapproval. The
fact of these people being taken out and
strapped is suficient for the six hold-over
members of the grand jury to inquire intc
the cause and at the next term ot the court
have both the man and woman before a
jury to answer to the charge of adultery. it
will not do to let this matter stop where it
is, if the morais of this country are to be
protected. It is not our purpose to create
the impression that we have any sympathy
for the man and woman: we have none, and
the punishment they received was not se
vere enough, and notwithstanding they
were unlawfully whipped, the indignity
imposed upon the community by these twc
moral lepers has not, nor can a buggy tract
flogging every night without the sanction
of the law, make due reparation for the of
fense.
