When the news of the railroad wreci which happened last Friday morning reached Manning anxiety spread over the entire community; everybody was anxious for Captain William G. Webb. At evr turn the inquiry would come, "Is Captair Webb hurt?" And when a rumor had got ten afioat that the popular conductor ,va killed, sadness was depicted upon th countenances of those who heard the re port. Later, however, the joyful tiding came that Captain Webb was safe an sound. It was a great relief to his host o friends in this section . Have you been vaccinated? If so, pro tect that sore from injury by using a vacci nation shield. For sale by R. B. Loryea, the druggist. The nieeting called for salesday by CLair man Hodge should be well attended, andi it does not accomplish any more than at exchange of views, it will do good. One o the main things operating to the disadvan tage of the farmner is his disinclination I organize. All other avocations in life are organized and through their organization: a vast amount of good is experienced. Thi farmer seems content to plod along anc complain of his lot without making any et fort whatever to take steps to better his con: dition. 'Thia is an age of crganization, anc *in order to keep along with the progressivi march of the times, the farmers must come together and pull together. On the 7th da: of February the court house should b' filled with 'all persons interested in farm ing, and every farmier attending shoult come prepared to give counsel as to the best steps to be taken for the coming year There should be a thorough discussion 0 the question "decreased acreage." The ef feet at this time of memorializing the Legis lature to repeal the lien law and all othe *matters now agitating the cotton growers o this State. SOMETHING TO KNOW. It may be worth something to know tha the very best medicine for restoring th tiued out nervous system to a healthy vigo is Electric Bitters. The medicine is purel; vegetable, acts by giving tone to the nervi centres in the stomach, gently .stimulate the liver and kidneys, and aids these or gans in throwing off impurities in th blood. Electric Bitters improves the at petite, aids digestion, and is pronounce by those who have tried it as the very be~ blood purifier and nerve tonic. Trry 11 Sold for 50c. or I.0 per bottle at R. 2 Mr. W. Scott Harvin has returned home from his Northern trip. He stopped over in Washington, and while there visited the "American Parliament." He was much im pressed with our nation's lawmakers and the beauty of our national capitol. Mr. Harvin had talks with Northern men about the South's future, and he is convinced of the bright future that awaits this country. He says there is a strong disposition to move the mills of the North to the fields of the South and as one line of manufacturing industries come, other lines will follow. Mr. Harvin's trip has made him quite en thusiastic over the prospect and he is sin cere in the belief that this country will be come the manufacturing section of Amer ica. Mr. Harvin's trip North was on busi ness for h-s hosiery mill, and he is greatly gratified with the result of the trip. He ob-: tained enough orders to keep his machinery running on full time for the whole summer and he is now seriously thinking of increas ing the plant and its capacity. If Manning had a few more such enterprising citizens as Mr. Harvin we would soon be putting on city airs, and the empty lots now being used for potato patches and cow pastures would be covered with modern dwelliags. Our population would be aroused from their morning slumbers by the whistles and bells of labor-giving institutions and the . music of the spindle, the buzz of the saw and the clanging of the foundry would breathe an energetic life into all of us. With such a citizen comes increased popu lation, demand for real estate, extension of t area, colleges, water works, electric lights and all the facilities to make a town seen upon the commercial map. Manning has other citizens who can help Mr. IIarvin to make this town what its situation entitles it to be. We have the finest water in the State, health unsurpassed, society that can not be excelled; no town has a purer moral atmosphere. It is the best place on earth to raise children, and with such advantages h all that is needed is the expending of a few dollars to quicken the industrial pulse. c W. S. Harvin has made a successful start; t let us hope the example so well set by him will be followed by others. When you can not sleep for coughing take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It al ways s ways gives prompt relief. It is most excel lent for colds, too, as it aids expectoration, relieves the lungs and prevents any ten dency toward pneumonia. For sale by B. B.

Mr. Whilden spent three days at Manning. in which time he held several public meetings and confer ences with the workers. A large number of officers and teachers gathered at the Sunday school room of the Baptist church and were given an illustra tion of better methods of teaching, together with the use of the blackboard, in illustrat ing Bible study and the presentation of the subject of the lesson to the minds of the scholars. On the following evening the speaker presented to a very large audience the out- ] line of the organization, its methods, its ob jects and the results that it was hoped would be accomplished in the near future. Being an international association, much more can be accomplished than by any one particular church. A man is now employed to give all his time to the pushing of this work on to success. The main object being organizat' a for exploring and educating, this ie done through the medium of convention in State, county and township, bringing the benefit f down to the individual school. From this point the field secretary visit ed Summerton, Silver, Packsville and other points in Ciarendon County with a view of arfanging a definite appointment for the I spring. As soon as the place and date arei arranged the schools of this county will be notified through the columns of THE TntEs. The present Field Secretary is Mr. Frank F. Whilden, ex-superintendent of the lar gest and most successful school in this State at Charleston. He made many friends here. BUCKLEN'S ARMCA SALVE.

Seldom is it that people come here and are faked, but last Mon day Henry Smith, one of Manning's indispensible creatures who can be found about the streets at all times of day or night, became stricken with a very dry thirst, and not having made any of the filthy lucre that day, he was unable to waltz over to the dispensary and call fori a half pint of the "essence of hades" where with he might wash down the soda crack ers thrown over the counter to him by some of the clerks. Henry is a darkey of wonderful resources, and while he was sit ting down with his hands holding up his massive brain, a cnuntry coon came along. and, seeing Henry apparently in trouble, asked if he was sick. This was Smith's chance, and with a very painful and trem ulous voice, he said: "Mister, do, sir, please help me to a nickel; my leg is broke and I need a little money to get home." The sympathy of the country darkey was aroused and he inquired how and where he1 mect his misfortune. Smith told him with a voice of renewe-d trembling .that he got] is leg broke in the railroad wreck. The( country darkey became suspicious and I went off a little piece to watch the broken-) legged beggar. Smith, thinking his ruse to beat a nickel out of the country coon had failed, got up and walked on down the hill. The country coonr' saw him walking off and every one he would meet would tell them1 of his narrow escape from being "swindled out of a nickel by a dirty, black and rag ed nigger who say him leg was broke to gt five cents to buy liquor."

[Special to the News and Courier.] Washington, Jan. 21.-Senator McLaurin ade his appearance in the Senate to-day or the first time during the present ses ion. He was hardly recognized by his lenatorial associates when he emerged from he Democratic cloak room, so changed was tis personal appearance. He showed un aistakable signs of long illness. The loss ,f his luxurious chestnut curls, and his losely cropped hair, together with his pale ace, rendered him almost a stranger at first lance.
