Last Saturday the Manning Guards re turning from the burial of a comrade, cre ated considerable excitement by their skir mish drill. Crowds went to Moore's Hill to witness the sight, and many were the comments as the wet and mud besmeared soldiers approached firing blank cartridges. Captain Davis is endeavoring to get his company in good shape for an emergency, and he thinks by the time he receives or ders his company will be prepared to show up well. Look-look-go to Brockinton's for that wonderful Celery Compound, only S1. per bottle. Next to Mi. Levi's. Died last 1Friday at his home near Sar dinia, Mr. John H. Johnson, aged 39 years.

The deceased was also a member of the Manning Guards. The body was brought through Manning Satur day en route to Oak Grove church, and on its arrival was the first intimation his com rades had of his death. The co,mpany was assembling for a sham battle and Captain Davis tendered them to the relatives as an escort of honor. The march was made through a pouring rain, but the boys stood it without complaint. Rev. W. H. Hodges preached the funeral sermon, after which the Guards interred their comrade with military honors.

New Zion News. Special to THE TIMEs: Ma. Enrroz: Please allow me just a small space in the columns of THE TIMEs. Prob ably this will be the last time that my name will ever appear before the public of Clar endon county in the dear old MA~NN~ TMs whiCh .goes to so many homes. I will say good-by to all who read these lines, as war is declared and I may be clled upon to go soon. I would like to stay until the election is over, for I have been thinking of running for GovernoR. While Ellerbe has so many competitors, he is the only candidate that I am afraid of and if I desired to run the race I want this kept a profound secret, for if I (ln't beat him I believe Governor Ellerbe will be elected again. In my last article I said that if war was c~'lared I would enlist, but since it has u lic that the speculators in are largely responsible for e of affairs, I do not propose - - go over to Cuba and risk * t of gold bugs, for if I get -- for them when there is no will give my wife anything - No, no, I can't go untillIam forced, then I will have to be carried by main force. I hate to say this, but it is hard to leave home to fight for nothing, when a set of hot-beaded Congressmen can run it over the President of the United States; then I say let Congress fight tbe war. The Salem boys are cool on tho war ques tion and are busy planting tobacco. Yours most respectiully until after the election. ED. GREEN. New Zion, S. C., April 2C, 1898.

The Old "Vets" (;o to Charleston. Clarendon surely did herself proud yes terday. It was a day long to be remember ed, and one that sent joy to many a heart, and a loving sadness about the scene which reflection was bound to bring. Harry Ben bow Camo, No. 471 U. C. V.'s looked for ward to this day and it turned one far in excess of all expectation. From all direc tions came the hoary-headed heroes of the long ago to once more and probably for the last time to meet each other and recount the past. Abont midday these men once the vouth and flower of Carolina assembled in tLe court house to receive their badges their insignia of duty, well and nobly done, when their mother State appealed to them to protect her from the wrong imposed upon her. Did these men respond? Look at the bent forms, the wrinkled faces, the armless sleeves, the limping walk; some with bodies that have been pierced with the bayonet or bullet from the enemy. These men a:e today living witnesses of the past, and spared to tell their sons and grandsons the horrors of war. They, never forgetful of any attentions shown to them, adopted resolutions of thanks to the editor of Taz Tnms for his cheerful aid to make their journey to Charleston a joyous one. Each veteran-about 95 in number--was given a red silken badge, upon which was printed "Harry Benbow Camp, No. 471," and this they pinned upon their coats. In a short while a beautiful redsilk flag was sent and in letters of white handiwork of fair ladies was the name of the camp. When this flag made its appearance the band on the square struck up "Dixie," and cheer after cheer was the reception it received. The "rebel yell" was given time and again, and some of the "old boy s" that usually walk with stiffened joints fairly jigged like children. Capt. Bradham and Col. Brailsford were unceasing in their efforts to make the oc casion a grand success. When dinner was announced the "Vets" were formed and by squads marched to tLe Benbow house, where a bountiful dinner was served them. While preparations were going on at the court house for the trip, ladies were h ird at work decorating a special car left by the railroad authorities. During the wait the Black River Picaninny Brass Band played patriotic music on the square which the veterans and spectators enjoyed. When the "fall in" was given the band went to the armory, and in a few minutes here came the Manning Guards, about 30 strong, commanded by Capt. Davis, and as they approached, marching to the "Bonnie Blue Flag," a cheer arose from the veterans which was taken up bythecrowd in appreci ation of the high compliment the sons paid their sires. The Guards never looked bet ter; they halted and came to a company front; the line was perfect and the eyes of the followers of Lee and Jackson glistened with pleasure as they beheld the gray uni forms, and when the company came to a "Present Arms" the old soldiers appreci ated the salute and acknowledged it with uncovering their heads. rhe march was then taken up in the fol lowing order: Picaninny brass band. Manning Guards. Veterans. On reaching the Central hotel a halt was made and Colonel Brailsford, one of the most gallant men on the continent, escort ed Miss Richardson, the sponsor, and Misses Mellie Nelson,and Margaret Tindal, two of the maids of honor, and as he reached the Camp he introduced the ladies. The sponsor in a neat little speech ac knowledged for herself and her associates the high honor conferred upon them and then presented the officers and ex-officers with ibeautiful boutonnieres. The ladies were then placed in carriages and the march was continued to the depot amid 'the waving of handkerchiefs along the route. The carriages containing the sponsor and the maids were placed be tween the Guards and the Veterans and in that way they proceeded to the depot where a tremendous crowd received them. On arriving at the depot, Colonel Brails ford took occasion to very feelingly thank Captain Davis and the Guards for the high honor conferred by their escort, and reminded him that this was not the first time he had seen the Manning Guards. He saw them in 1860, in the battle of Manassas and they placed on that occassion a page in history which time can never efface, and which will ever be a proud reference to every Carolinian. He then proposed cheers for the Guards which were given with a will. Captain Davis responded in a beau tiful speech, in which he assured the Vet erans that it was him and his company which was honored by having the privilege of escorting them, and he wished them a happy reunion and a safe journey. He also promised them that if called to duty, which was momentarily expected, that the response to the country's call would be made just as it was by their fathers in the long ago. When the train came along there was a rush for seats, but with very little confu sion, so well was the management. The special car was some distance down the track and it was about filled up before the the train came along, nevertheless, seats were found all right enough on the train which rolled in with several camps from Columbia, Sumter and elsewhere. The special car was a bower of loveliness on wheels; the decorations could not have been more beautiful had a professional dec orator done the work. Flowers and bunt ing were wrapt and arranged as only can be done in a work of love, for it wa~s love alone which prompted the ladies to do this magnificent piece of work. All along the route to Charleston visitors came into Clarendon's car to admire the beauty presented and we all felt proud of our rolling house so elegantly built by the fair ones. Space will not permit us to tell of many incidents of this trip, but there is one inci dent which should not be overlooked; five brothers-the Bradham brothers-were all gallant Confederate soldiers and they were of the party; another is Mvr. Judson Hol laday, who was so fearfully wounded that a silk handkerchief was pulled through him, and he was given up to die by the surgeons, was here to meet the boys once more. We could go on and tell of hun dreds of incidents, but as before said~space will not permit. The train arrived in Charleston about 630 and the Veterans were taken to the Roper Hospital to be quartered. The trip was pleasantly made; all hands are enjoy ing themselves at this midnight hour. We were about to forget that Captain Hudgins, of Foreston, was presented on the train with a beautiful bouquet of flow er for being the oldest and handsomesat Veteran in the party. How's This?

Harvin's for the benefit of the Thornwell Orphanage, and it was an occasion long to be remembered. A, I was placed, as I had supposed, at great disadvantage, as I had not a ingle lady acquaintance and had no knowledge as to how I should obtain one, it being, as you know, my first advent into society; but fortune favored me. When I appeared at: the door, there stood a beautifully aressed lady; her beauty dazed me. A gentleman being present who knew me, gave me an introduction. I handed her a quarter, as we had to pay according to age. She asked me how much change I wanted. I told her to keep it all, as I felt for orphans. being one myself. She bowedt her thanks. I I told her it was my first onting and I didn't know a single lady, that if I had I would have brought one with me for corm pany. She says, "Come this way," and l.I me down the hall and introduced me to one of the most beautiful and accomplished ladies in the audience, and she introduced me to a number of others. You know it does not make any difference about the beauty of objects; you are sure to select one that you think excels; that was my case. Being introduced to a lady I told her that I had been noticing her during the evening; her reply was that probably for the reason that she had been moving round more than others. I replied there were other reasons. She did not ask what they were; if she had I would have told her it was her beauty and easy and graceful movements. In a place that has as many young la dies as ,Manning there must be some home lv ones. Was there an order excluding them, or did it just happen they didn't come out? The music and recitations were goo.l through the whole program, more espe cially the mu:ic, which was beautifully rendered and highly appreciated. Now, in conclusion, will say I shall never forget the 21st, and as the orphans are always in need of help. I hope ere long there will be another, and I have already put aside a quarter for the occasion. Yours till next time, H. Foreston, S. C., April 25. 1898. A Cure for Bilious Colic.

The official announcement has at last been received as to what is expected of South Carolina in response to the first call for volunteers, as the following from Gen. Alger indicates: Washington, D. C., April 25, 1898. The Governor of South Carolina, Columbia, S.C. The number of troops from your State, under the call of the President, dated April 23, 1898, will be one regiment and one battalion of infantry and'ono heavy battery of artillery. It is the wish of the President that the regiment of the Na tional Guard or State militia shall be used as far as their number will permit, for the reason that they are armed, equipped and drilled. Please wire as early as possible what equipments, ammunition, arms, blankets, tents, etc., you have, and what additional you will require. Please, also, state when troops will be ready for mnns ter into the United States service. Details follow by mail. Rt. A. ALGER, Secretary of WVar.

Mv Dear Sir: I write again in re gardl to the military movements, as war is an assured fact. There is evi dently a purpose on the part of the officers of the regular army to mo nopolize, as far as possible, all power and all glory in this war, and, as the struggle will be mainly on the ocean, there will be lit tle for the army to do. Cuba will be subdued by starvation, or rather the Spanish army there will, by this means, be forced to asur render. I would advise you, and through you the military of our State, to simply assume an attitude of willing ness and not be outdone by other States. Any rushing or pressing to the front will do no good. Co-op era tion with the officers of the regular army who are detailed to look after our coast defences will, of course, be desirable, and, in my opinion, this is all you will be called on to do. It wold be sucidial to go to Cuba at this season of the yea'r. With best wishes, 1 am, very sin cerey, B. Rt. TILLMAN. Bucklen's Arnica Salve.

Price 25c. per box. For sale by Senator Tiinan Explains. Washington, D. C., April 25. Governor W. H. Ellerbe, Columbia, S. C. The News and Courier and State of yesterday are trying to distort my letter to General Anderson into a discouragement to our people to volunteer. I have pledged the State to do its share and be second to none in supporting the United States in the war with Spain, though it would be dangerous to go to Cuba at this season. South Caro linians should not lag behind, but take their chances, and not be out done by men from any other State. There is no doubt that every other State will furnis!2 a full quota, and I am sure South Carolina will do like wise. Any pretense that I believe or advise to the contrary is false, as my telegram to Gen. Anderson shows. 13. R. TILLMAN. An Old Idea. Every day strengthens the belief of emi nent physicians that impure blood is the cause of the majority of our diseases. Twenty-five years ago this theory was used as a basis for the formula of Browns' Iron Bitters. The many remarkable cures effected by this famous old household remedy are sufficient to prove that the theory is correct. Browns' Iron Bitters is sold by all dealers. Motin.c of Associat ion.
