There are a number of our subscribersf who are considerbly behind with their sub-A scriptions and we know that it is not their desire to keep us out of our money, but as wemust have money to get out the papr wo will have to insist upon those in arrearst settling up. We therefore give fair notie that on the first day of June we will strike oftf names; this is not a pleasure for us but it is better to take off such names asill noat pay than to increase the indebtedne'ss and still get nothing. Another matter we wish to cadl attentionl to. After the first day of June we will strike from our mail ing lists the names of persons who have. been getting the paper free. We give this L notice in time and if the Times is worth S ,.ang It s worth paying for. The dry kiln and planing mill attached a the lumber plant of Mr. D. M.

If the liver inactive, you have a bilious look; if yourjE omach is disordered, you have a dyspep -t c look; if ycur kidneys are affected, you c ave a pinched look. Secure good health ti id you will surely have good looks.

Benjamin Pressley Barron was born in ork county, this State, 4th of May, 1840. a [e attended Furman University. About ie year 1859 he moved to Willi'tuisburg fi aunty and engaged in school teaching at e& adiantown. When the civil war broke t< ut he assisted in raising among the first >mpanies to go to the front and was elec -d a lieutenant under James McCutcheon, .ptain. He remained in the service until tptured in battle, and in 1bG4 he was sent > Elmira prison, where he was held until ie cessation of hostilities. While in El dira prison his gentlemanly demeanor at acted the attention of the officers in iarge and they gave him an importan t erical position at headquarters. His du es were so well and intelligently per >rmed that when it came time for his dis- i arge they gave him up reluetantly and e officer in charge in saying good-bye put roll of greenbacks into his hand and ould not receive a refusal. Lieutenant arron had won the respect of his captors E such an extent that when he was about >leave the prison at his request Mr. w unius E. Scott, then of Williamsburg, now T EManning, was given the work at head uarters. Returning from the North, he went to c. ingstree and entered the law office of the ite Col. John G. Pressley; later he re- E toed to Manning and engaged in theh ractice of his profession, always keeping i n office open in Kingstree, where he had ' large clientage. i Lieutenant B3arron was married twice. a early life he married Miss Amelia Snow- i en, one of Williamsburg's fairest daugh- . rs. She died in Manning; no children n lessed this union. Subsequently he mar-'s ed Miss Alice Witherspoon, who survives f i; she was a daughter of the late Dr. amuel Witherspoon, a physician of wide n pute. 'rhis union wvas blessed with alt rge and interesting family of children. During our political trials Mr. Barron je yok an active part, often going out toi eet the opposite party and demanding a Ia ivision of time. He was a forcible and loquent speaker and his services to the t emortic party will long be remiembered. [e consented to allow his name used fortei 2 Legislature and he served in that body tj ne term, and would not stand for re-elec on upon the ground that his profession It >which ne was devoted :ueededl his atten on. .dr. Barron always enjoyed a fine ractice and he was regarded one of the butr u :mmercial lawyers in this section of the tate. He belonged to the Presbyterian church, g as a member of St. Peter's Lodge A.
