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.

Clarendon has the most timid aspirants L
r public honors of any county in the 1
b
tate. Nearly all of the con ty papers con
in the cards of candidates and in some
I the counties the politicaL pot is simmer
ig to a great extent. We have no doubt
ut that our political lambs will soon place
emselves upon the altar to be sacrificed.
7henever such get ready it will be our
a
leasure to make it known through these
>lumns for $5, cash in advance, and there I
ill be no deviation from this rule. So,
mndidates, if vou want to let the "dear
eople" know that "your many friends"
ant you to fill an office, come up like good
2d brave men and pay us five dollars in
ld cash and we will send the message
ito every household. We want it dis
netly understood that no man will h

ithout his first having paid us the money

Many old soldiers now feel the effects of
Le hard service they endured during the f
ar. Mr. Geo. S. Anderson, of Rossville,
ork county., who saw the hardest kind ot at
rvice at the front, is now frequently trou
led with rheumatism. "I had a severe at- 0
ck lately," he says, "and procured a bot
e of Chamberlain's Pain Balm. It did so
uch good that I would like to know what
)a would charge me for one dozen bot
es" Mr. Anderson wanted it both for his k
xn use and to supply it to his friends and
eighbors, as every family should have a
ottle of it in their home not only for rheu
atism. but lame back, sprains, swellings, c
its, bauises and burns, for which it is 1

How to Look blodJ
t
Good looks are really more than skin d
eep, depending entirely on a healthy con- e
ition of all the vital organs. 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. "Elec- t
-ic .tsitters" is a good alterative and tonic. ti
cts directly on the stomach, liver and kid
eys, purifies the blood, cures pimples, c
lotches and boils and gives a good com
exion. Every bottle guaranteed. Sold

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. F.
., and Damon Lodge Knights of Pyth
is, a man of fine physique, handsomen
~atures, attra~ctive manner and always ajti
entleman. i
The funeral took place yesterday. The s
'resbyteriatn church was crowded with c
iends to pay the last sad rites to a be-a
ived citizen. Rev. James Mclowell, the d
astor, assisted by Revs. W. H. Hodges of r
ue Methodist church and J. O. Gough of Ia
ue ptist church, conducted thc services,
hich were more than impressive, andb
ue entire congregation seemetd to drink n
ue words of' counsel as they fell from h
ae lips of Glod's servants. The de
aseds pastor was much atfected, and c<
She alluded to the reniains in the! C
isket before him, covered with beautiful n
oral tributes, his voice grew husky and n
ars stole down his cheek. T he congrega- b
on understood the cause of that husky v.
:ice and those tear-dimmed eves. d
The casket was borne into the church by e
te follo .ving active pallbearers:

Are You Weak ?
Weakness manifests itself in the loss of
ambition and aching bones. The blood is
watery; the tissues are wasting-the door is
being opeed for disease. A bottle of Browns'
IrnBtestaken in time will restore your
strength, soothe your nerves, miake your
blood rich and red. Do you more god
than an expensive special course of medicine.

Whooping Cough.
I had a little boy who was nearly dead
rm an attack of whooping cough. My
eighbors recommended Cha-. berlain's
ough Remiedy. I did not think that any
edicine would help him, but after giving
ii a few doses of that remedy I noticedh
