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

Wanted-Boarders for the next three

next three months had better make an early
application and they need not carry their
Spanish dictionaries either.

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.

"The Bryants have font agin" was the
report that reached us last Monday. 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.

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.

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

lost a true friend and faithful worker.

&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.

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.

Colored School at Jordan Closes.
Editor THE TIMEs:
The closing exercises of the 1t.
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.

This remedv is intended especially for

cures of these dtieases. over a large part of

testimonibls have been rcceived, giving ac
counts of its good works; of the aggravat
ing and persistent coughs it has cured; of
severe colds that have yielded promptly to
its soothing effects, and of the dangerons
attacks of croup it has cared, often saving
the life of the child. The extensive use of
it for whooping cough has shown that it
robs that disease of all dangerous conse
quences. Sold by R. B. Loryea, druggist.
