The press dispatches in this moning's News and Courier give every indication of war being declared in a few days. The Jingo element in both branches of Con gress is in control, and is about to ride rough shod over the peace representatives.

R. B. Loryea, the druggist. On Friday of last week a colored laborer at C. IR. Harvins mill at Packsville by the name of Frank McBride while at work at the dry kiln met with the misfortune to have a door weighing in the neighborhood of 1000 pounds to fall upon him. On last Wednesday he died from the effects of his injuries and was buried Thursday. Last Monday four days after the mans death our county coroner empaneled a jury of inquest and ascertained at a cost of $11 to the county, that the man buried four days before, was in reality dead. The Manning Guards are, through their officers, endeavoring to infuse new life into the company, but the present condition of things doesn't make our young men hanker much for military glory. Wanted-Boarders for the next three - months at Mr. George I. Lesesne's, on San tee. He guarantees a safe retdreat for nerv ous individuals and he can only accommo date a limited number; therefore those who have a desire for a quiet life for the next three months had better make an early application and they need not carry their Spanish dictionaries either. Full line of Fine Stitionery. Lowest prices. ER. B. Loryea, the druggist. It will be gratifying to the many friends of Mr. J. H. Lesesne to learn that his mer it as a business man together with his high character has been recognized by one of the beat business houses in Charleston. M. Drake and Son offered a position to Mr. Lesesne to represent them throughout the State and the offer has been accepted. Mr. Lesesne has a host of friends at home and over the State who will give him that sub stantial encouragement which a business man needs to bring about success- In se lecting Mr. Lesesne as their representative Messrs. Drake and Son have secured the services of a man who after a little exper ience will become valuable to them. He will inspire confidence in the trade and this alone will give him a great advantage in this day of "git thar" practices. We sincerely hope that the business men of this section and especially of this county will start our esteemed young townsman off with a good amount of orders.

Lu cius Bryant come to town last Monday morning and swore out a peace warrant for Willie Bryant. his brother. and after finishing his business in the town he caught his mule and started home. WVhen he reached a p~oint near Mr. WV. T. Le sesne's plantatan, Willie Bryant came out from biding and drew his pistol at Lucius, who attempted to escape his desperate brother's wrath by jumping off the male and dashing across the field. Willie fired at him twice, once as he jumped from his mule and again while be was running. Only one ball took effect, and that entered the back near the lower spinal, causing the lower extremities to become partially par alyzed. Drs. Brown and Dicltson were called in at Mr. Lesesne's, where the un fortunate man was taken, and upon exam ination it proved the ball to have been of 38-calibre and beyond the reach of the physicians' probes. Bryant is in a very critical condition. Willie Bryant is in jail. -4 Religious Notice. The Rev. Win. H. Mills is to preach next Saturday morning and afternoon, A pril 2d, in the Presbyterian church in this place, preparatory to the communion services in that church the next day. On Sabbath the pastor will preach (D. V.) at 11 o'clock a. mn., and Rev. T. J. Clyde, the Presiding El der, at 8Sp. m. JAtmES MCDowELL, Mannn Academy. The average grade in the respective classes was made by the following pupils for the week ending March 25: Collegiate-Pearl Breedin, French, 100; algebra. 98; geometry, 92; dictation, 100; physiology. 90. Virginia Galluchat, alge bra, 94; history, 100, geography, 90; writ ing, 98. Lucille Alsbrook, Latin, 100; arithmetic, 98; algebra, 100; dictation, 100; writing, 100.

Primary-John Rlidgill, .Mabel Trescot, Cora Godbold and Jason Fisher, reading, 100; arithmetic, 95. Joe Plowden, writing, 100. Fannie Timmons, arithmetic, 92. The conduct medal was voted to Susie The Municipal Election. There seems to be a little interest mani fested in the approaching municipal elec tion. There are quite a number of tickets suggested and the most enthusiastic are posting their choice. The firet ticket sug gested is what has been designated the "People's ticket," composed of Dr. W. E. Brown, Intendant, W. C. Chandler, A. I. Barron, J. H. Rigby and 0. W. MeRoy, wardens. This ticket will probably be elected, although there are others which will meet with good support. Of the other tickets there is one heaied by D. M. Bradham for Intendant, with W. E. Jenkinson, W. R. White, W. C. Davis and A. I. Barron, wardens, which might give the first ticket a close race were the citizens to take as much interest in a town election as is done in other towns. It is a thankless job at best to he at the head of a town government, and for this reason it is difficult to obtain consent for the use of a man's name for the position. Neither Dr. brown nor Mr. Bradham have any personal desire to be Intendant and if they consent ed to run, it was only after much solicita tion on the part of their respective friends. Judging from observation only, we be lieve the Brown ticket will be elected. but whether it is or not, the election of either ticket will give this town a good council. There may be Rome scratching done on the day of the election and wardens taken from both tickets, and in that event the town is also safe. The new council will take charge of a de plted treasury, and it will hamper it in the way of making improvements at the beginning, but a council made up of either of the tickets suggested will, we have no doubt, give Manning as good an admin is tration as the means at their command will permit.

In former years he was pre siding elder of Santee circuit. Presbytery meets here next Wednesday. A number of delegates are expected. Miss Lela Lesesne, one of Oswego's most popular and charming young ladies, is vis iting Miss Ledie Tisdale. Mr. Joseph Davis of Davis Station and Mr. Joe Sprott of Jordan was in town last Sunday evening visiting our visitors. The telegraph operators of the Wilson and Summerton railroad seem to become very much attached to Summerton in the last few days. I wonder why. A pretty black-haired girl of the adjoin ing county expressed her desire of selling her place and purchasing a lot in our town. I Who will be the fortunate one to share this lot with her? has been discussed among the boys. A fine chance for one of toem. Miss Mamie Scarboro of Bishopville is visiting her sister, Mrs. Dr. W. R. Mood. Miss Rhoda Shuford of Bishopville is spending some time in our community. Our druggist, D. 0. Rhame, has disband ed his Santee Swamp company since the war cloud has somewhat blown over and the boys have decided not to spend their time during the summer fishing. The Episcopal church of this place is near completion. We can congratulate the Episcopalians on having the prettiest church in town. Crockinole is all the rage here now. The young folks sit up late playing the game. When our friends call we are sorry but >nly four can play the game; this some times causes parties anxious to join in the :ame to be unable to do so. Hope at an >ther time in the near future they will be more succassful. Come sooner, boys. We are sorry that oysters are out of date, 3s we have enjoyed the suppers given in he past immensely.

Whereas, It hath pleased Him who rules the universe and in whose hands are the issues of life and death, to take from us the soul of our fellow-member, Cadet W. anham of Clarendon County, South Caro ina, who, in the sweet assurance of youth fell asleep on the 17th day of February, 898; therefore be it resolved by the Co umbian Literary Society of Clemson Col ege First. That in his death the society has lost a true friend and faithful worker. Second. That we extend to his friends &nd loved ones our sincere sympathy, with the assurance that we, with the other cadets f tlie college, too, mourn with them in their sad bereavement. Third. That the society hall be draped in ourning for thirty days, and also a page n our records be dedicated as sacred to his emory. Fourth. That these resolutions be pub ished in the Chronicle and his county paper, and a copy sent to his parents. Signed: J. B. Luwis, R. McLE"NoN, Committee. W. N.

Special to TEE '1DIxs: There is no ather occupation more in ac ord with moral precepts than farming. It would be well for the public welfate of our ountry if all our young people could serve n apprenticeship on the farm, not for the :oney there~ is in it, but to qualify them for good citizenship. Whenever money is the main incentive of life, society is on a decline. Happy and comfortable homes are the source from which we may hope to >btain true prosperity. Much depends upon the environments of the family. The free school system is the means by which children may receive a literary edu cation, but needs an important suppli ent. Home education rs what makes character; it requires much pain and labor to train up a child in the way he should go. I fear there is frequently a neglect on the part of parents. In addition to pre ept and example, good books should be furnished to be read, and besides this sev eral good papers should be taken. We cry out hard times, and sur.e enough they are here, but oar system of farming ha brought them upon us. Many of us are continuing to raise cotton at a price that is below the cost of production. Ne essity, if not produced, will force us to change; we will never make a change by resolution offered in delegated assemblies; it requires an individual resolution, but a resolution of the individual is just the op posite of a resolution exacted in delegated assemblies. If a plan could be arranged by which one-half of those engaged in rais ing cotton would enter into a union to de crease the acreage of cotton 25 per cent., the other half would increase the acreage 25 per cent. and probably more. Ne w Zion township organized a Farmers' Cotton Growing Protective Association and that was the last of it, so I will favor the increase of acreage for next year. I believe by doing this will give some of us an ex euse to plant less, and this will give a chance to raise more of something else upon which we will have some dictation in settling the price but what little I raise will not affect the price a minimum, but will raise less if I can get only 5 cents a pound. Really I am preparing to quit; by doing so I will'allow my neighbors to plant as much cotton as they wish. If a farmer can't make a living for himself, how can there be a surplus for others to live upon? This question stares us in the face to our shame. Why should those who buy our produce have a greater profit out of it than we do? Only because we allow them to set the price. More than this, let us curtail our clothing expenses and cease to conform to style and fashion, and buy nothing we can not pay for with something we raise on the farm besides cotton. Brother farmers, let us put our shoulders' together and try and raise hog and hominy, and plant more cotton for 5 cents a pound when it costs 7 cents per pound to raise it. En. Gans.

Chapel school (colored) which took place on the night of the 11th inst., was one long to be remenibered. Fully two hundred peopie were pres ent, and among the number some of the best white people in and around Jordan. Those who were present enjoyed the exercises to the highest. The children done honor to themselves and the teachers. So far beyond our expectation were the exercises that we could ha1rdly believe they were the same children that went from our homes every morning. For the past two years our school has greatly improved. Two years ago we scarcely numbered 40, but now we can boast of 92, and an average of 65 to 70. Much of the success is due to our efficient board of trustees and our teacher. We feel with our church as well as our school under the care of Rev. C. S. MeFaddin, that in the near fu ture we shall have a graded school second to none. He is a God-sent leader and stands second to none, both in the pulpit and in the school room.
