"One Minute Cough Cure is the best pre

Wilson, Jordan.
It is advisable for everybody to get vac
inated. Manning has used every precau
ton to keep tho ~pest out, and with all of
the vigilance of the authorities,one case has
shown itself here. If vaccination is a pre
ventative then by all means have it done;
the disease is all over this section of the
county.
The Cuban question and political issues
sink into insignificance with the man who
suffers from piles. What he most desires,
is relief. DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve
cures piles. R. B. Loryea, Manning ; L.
W. Nettles, Foreston; H. L. Wilson, Jordan.
Too much care cannot be taken at this
time to prevent desease from spreading
and we would advise, besides vaccination,
that promiscuous visiting be stopped,
that each family keep their premises scru
pulous clean and a liberal use of disinfect
ants. We would advise the burning of
tar and sulpher which is a- very fine disin
fectant.
A rather exciting affair occurred last Sat
urday night on our streets. A colored mnn
by the name of Richmond Belser had been~
disorderly at his house to the annoyance
of his neighocrs, and the matter was re
ported to the police. Later the fellow came
down town and was arrested by Policeman
Clark. Belser went along quietly and
when they reached the guardhouse, whilo
the policeman was preparing to unlock the
door Belser broke and ran, retusing to
atop when ordered and was fast making
his escape. The policeman opened fire
upon him and shot five times, two of
the shots taking effect; one ball entered the
shoulder and the other a thigh. Belser was
not seriously hurt, as he was limping.

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 ild household remedy are
sufficient to prove that the theory is correct.

PnESEN :ENT.
To His Honor R. C. Watts, Judge presiding
at Mlay term, 1896:
The grand jury herewith report that they
have acted upon the bills handed them by
the Solicitor.
In our last presentment we made some
recommendations which we regarded im
portant and was surprised that they
have not been acted upon: We recommend
ed the purchase of a stove for the couuty
jail: we also recommended that the County
Supervisor take his chaingang and make
the necessary repairs to the buildings at
the poorhouse. Neitner of these matters
have had attention and we desire to bring
same to the court's attention, that it pro
cure a reason for this apparent indifference
to our recommendations, which were made
for the welfare of both of the institutions.
At a future time we will, through a com
mittee, examine the various county offices.
Complaint has reached us about the vio
lation of the seed cotton law and as a con
sequence we present for indictment Grant
Ballard, Pat Henry Felder, Shovine Felder,
Warsaw Miller, Wade Harvin, Frasier
Simmons and Wes Miller, and that J. H.
Eadon is a material witness and he will
furnish to the Solicitor the names of other
witnesses to prove the same.
Respectfully submitted,

Fortunately, a friend advised trying Elec

Colonial Clarendon Fork.
Editor Tim Tnmzs:
As it might interest some of your
readers, I send you the sequel of
what happened at Blakeley's planta
tion, Clarendon Fork, during the
Revolutionary War.
Tradition tells us that Major Har
rison was the British officer spoken
of, that he was a brave man and was
also a suitor for the hand of Miss
Mary Witherspoon, hence could not
bear his successful rival. Captain
Conyers, spoken of in words of praise,
and that, as was the fashion in those
good old fighting days between ri
vals, there was an understanding be
tween the British major and the Par
tisan captain of cavalry, that when
they met in battle the rivalry should
end with the life of one of them. That
meeting took place, according to
Sims' History of South Carolina, (pp.
210 and 211) at Taw-caw, where Mar
ion placed an ambush for Col. Wat
son. The first ambush was under the
command of Horry, who had orders
to give the enemy only two shots and
then retire; as ammunition was very
scarce the second was of cavalry
under Captain Conyers. Horry re
treated after delivering two effective
fires, pursued by the British cavalry
under Major Harrison. The latter
encountered Conyers at the head of
the American horse. Here the two
rivals recognizing each other, deter
mined to end their feud by personal
combat. They fought with swords
in the presenice of their troops, and
Conyers slew his gallant rival.
Taw-caw is in Clarendon county,
and the scene of this tragedy was on
Mr. William G. Frierson's plantation.

Governor Ellerbe's Critics.
Trhere has been a number of newspaper
~xpressionis of disapproval of the adminf-I
istration of Governor Ellerbe. It has been.
itated and restated that he would not suc
eed himself as Governor of the State.
It is remarkable that those who have
raised a cry against him have not found
texpedient to specify his errors or mis
akes.
Specific complaint has been manitestly
voided which is certainly significant.
That he has made mistakes is but natural,
but that his opposers have not been wi'~
ig to call attention to any wrong tact or
2istake upon which to ground their comu
plaint, is rather suggestive of the fact that
thev are conscious of the unreasonableness
and weaknuess of their position.
The source and cbaracter of tihe expres
sions of disapproval are rather suggestive
that his methods have not pleased a num
ber of politicians wvho expected that his
nluence would be contributed towards
the srying out of partisan plans and in
dividal agnrandizeinent.
We need less scheming in politics and
broader views and a higher appreciation
of ieal patriotism and statesmanship. I
We need less factionalism strife an a
ffice seeking among our people, and a1
ore charitable spirit manifested w.ith
reference to honest differences of opin
Governor Ellerbe promised to be Giover
nor of the whole people, and his inaugural
ddress really committed him to a policy
which ignored party factionalism.
We are not prepared to fully espous
the cause of any can didate for gubernait
rial honors. We do not understand the
different policies which mfay~ be outlined
and endorsed by the different candidates
for office, but we are prepared to give our
present Governor credit for a morally can
record in his private life, and in the luter
est of patriotic broadness and1 civil pro
ress, we commend him for endeavoring to
be true to the policy to which he comimtted
himself and in the interest of which he
pledged his administration.-Lake City

as their superintendent before, some
from the Manning Baptist Sunday
School., others from the Sammy
Swamp Sunday School Brother
Briggs has done a noble work among
the children in the past; and we are
all so rejoiced to have him among us
again. He promised us. that lie
would ask his Pastor, Rev. Connors,
of Summerton, to preach the first
sermon in our new church: and we
hope that it will be in the near fu
ture, for we certainly, will esteem it
as quite a privilege to have Brother
Connors visit us. Speaking of Brot
her Briggs' work among the children,
recalls an incident that happened a
few years ago. The children of a
school were requested to meet one
afternoon, to be organized into a
childrens' society; the pastor of the
church was alsoaskedto be present,
and assist in the organization. when
the day arrived many bright little
boys and girls were present, anxious
to join, and find out what they could
do for their Saviour. At the last mo
ment, came a message from the pas
tor, saying, it would be impossible
for him to be present.
What was to be done' It looked
as if the meeting would be a failure,
and some of the children had come
several miles to join: when some one
whispered. ".Send for Mr. Briggs.
That whisper was like an inspiration,
for all there knew, that lie had never
failed the children yet. He came,
organized them into a society known
as rhe Orphans Friends," and the
children did good work for Connie
Maxwell Orphanage; and in many
houses to day you will find pictures I
of the Orphanage, sent to these child-!
ren by Brother Vass although the
work was done exclusively by the
children, Brother Briggs never missed
a single meeting.
After the election of the Superin
tendent, the school was then organ
ized and 46 menbers enrolled, We
had another meeting last Sunday 10
new menbers joined, making a total
menbership of 56.
A beautiful tribute was paid to the
memory of Brother John Umphries
who was the superintendent there
years ago. We were glad to have his
daughter Mrs. McLeod, with us at
our tirst meeting; we also have grand
children, and great grandchildren of
Brother Umphries enrolled as mem
bers. The hour of meeting has been
changed from four, to five o'clock.
We hope soon to organize the church,
anti call a pastor. Our doors are op
en, all are invited to come, they will
receive a cordial welcome. We also
ask for the prayers of christian peo
p~le, that we may have a blessing and
thereby enabled to do a good work
for our Master's kingdom. Remem
