Only seven innings were played. as darkness prevented. The score stood 29 to 21 in favor of the Manning boys. A great fight is on against heat at Brock inton's soda fount. On account of our connection with the Democratic Executive Committee we desire to assist in the entertainment of our politi cal guests. we therefore go to press in the morning instead of the atternoon as is our custom. We make this announcement that oar readers may understand the absence of a "write-up ' of the campaign meeting in this issue. Remember the Maine, and when you want drugs and medicines remember Rt. B. Loryea, the druggist. Candidates, one and all, we greet and welcome you. Endeavor as much as possi ble to retrain from personalities. Discuss issues and do not endeavor to kick up a dust to hide your own merits. The people of Clarendon do not care a rap what you think of somebody else, they want you to exhibit to them your superior qualifications for the office you seek. Colonel Watson should not persist in charging Governor Ellerbe with appointing Alston to a colon elcy for a "consideration," because the people know that such a charge is ground less as well as slanderous. Candidates, we wish you a pleasant stay among us and we will consider 'whatever you have said that is worth considering. Look-look- go to Brockinton's for that wonderful Celery Compound, only St. per bottle. Next to M1. Levi's. Stores Will Be Closed.

The officers of the second South Carolina regiment have been appoint ed by Governor Ellerbe, and as a consquence there are lots of disap pointed aspirants. The selection however, is excellent, and it is an c:her exhibition of the governor's fine judgement, and also another ex hibition of his ignoring politics when it comes to appointing men who are to have in their hands the lives of brave men. The following are the officers: Colonel, Wilie Jones; Lieut enant Colonel, Henry T. Thompson; Majors, Havelock Evans and Julius (i. Wagner, Adjutant, Luther M. Haselden, Battalion Adjutant, Nor man Bull and W. M. Culp. Surgeon, E. J. Wannamaker; Assistant Sur geons, Drs. J. E. Poore and Louis Griffith, Seargent Major, N. D. Fow ler, Quartermaster J. W. Fripp; Chaplain, Rev. P. A. Murray; Hos pital stewards J. D. Wise, J. W. F.lovd Jr. and E. M, Osborn. Gov ernor Ellerbe has placed the second regiment in good hands; the Col onel and lieutenant Colonel are known throughout the State and they command the cotifidence of the entire people. Bad management keeps more peor I, in poor circumstances than any other one cause. To be successful one must look ahead and plan ahead so that when a favor able opportunity presents itself he is ready to t. advantage of it.

Editor Tux Tmzs: I see by the papers that Farmer Watson has made a bid for the sol dier vote by a contribution from his orchard of eleven crates of peaches. This will cost Farmer Ellerbe's melon patch eleven dozen big fourth of July "watah millions." "Uncle" George Tillman, familiarly called by his neighbors "Grass Nut" Tillman, to offset this, will be forced to invade his pinder patch to the tune of fifty bushels. To dissipate the good feeling and partiality for "Uncle" George engendered in the hearts of the soldier whilst roasting and munching his pinders around the evening camp fires, will tax "Temperance" Featherstone forty gallons of 80 proof corn. "Gospel Warship" Whitman and "Blackstone" Schumpert, realizing the futility of any attempt to over come the gratitude and enthusiasm aroused in favor of the foxy Prohibi tionist, will throw up the sponge and make no bid. Probably it will be well to explain that "Uncle" George won the eupho nious title of "Grass Nuts" by teach ing his farmer neighbors how to rid their fields of that greatest of pests nut grass. Aiox BE.HADAD. Manning, S. C., June 22, 1898. A Wonderful Discovery. The last quarter of a century records many wonderful discoveries in medicine, but none that have sccomplished more for humanity than that sterling old household remedy, Browns' Iron Bitters. It seems to cntain the very elements of good health. and neither man, woman or child can take it w'ithout deriving the greatest benefit. Browns' Iron Bitters is sold by all dealers. Countr Teachers' institute Has heen appointed for this place froniJuly 25-30. One of the requir ments for teachers is to attend these institutes and it is to be hoped every teacher in this county will avail him self or herself of this opportunity. The success of the institute will de pend largely upon the attendance, and in order to enable teachers who live too far away to attended daily, an effort will be made to secure free entertainment for them. To this end I ask every family in town who can and will do so, to entertain one or more teachers from Monday until Friday. Where you have a special friend you could extend an invitation if not an assignment could be made of those~ wo come to stay, to those parties who have agreed to aid the teachers thus. This plan has work ed well wherever tried, and you can thus be an aid in the educational in terests of your county. Now, fellow teachers, whether or not this ar rangement can be effected should make no difference with you. Come if possible. Messrs. E. C. Coker of the Marion schools and E. J. Browne of the Colle o'iate Institute here will have charge ofthe institute. They will do all in their power to make it a week of prof Iit as well rs of pleasure to you. If this arra~ngement can be maide, it will be so announced intime. Should there appear no announcement. make up your minds to attend any way and let's make the institute one 'of profit to each of us. Those of us who attended the one held here i,.st year recall the pleasure and profit derived. Remember the date July 25-30. -E. J. BR oWNE.

"Precisely the sort of a speech he wa: expected to make," says the News ani Courier. Who expected him to make it Certainly not an audience of Charleston an who have continued to place some te liance in what they see in the News aun Courier's columns. Whatever it might saa or do to Governor Ellerbe nobody dreame< that the News and Courier would dare chea the people of Charleston into voting for R~eform candidate for Senatir by telling them a falsehood. Until that ruoment whatever measure of terpitude was in volved in the News and Courier's hithert< supposed confession that it had been party to "a deal" by which the voters Charleston were bartered and sold likt sheep, no one dreamed that it could havy been guilty of the double duplicity of he lying the Governor and his friends witi regard to that alleged transaction also. Ni one dreamed but that it held or could pro duce some proof of the "deal" to which had categorically testitied, to confront ant onfound Goveinor Ellerbe with if h dared deny its allegations. But, to! an behold, Governor E~erbe comes forward a the first opportunity and beards his boastet "pal" in his very den; denies that he,o that 31cLaurin, Neal and Weston for him ever made any 'deal" of the sort, and de ies the News and Conrier to produce an: scintilla of evidence of it. And our con temporary has the hardihood, in ainswer t this categorical castigation, to talk abot misrepresentation of itself on a mino point and to utter no word of reafurmatio of its claims, weakly shifting to othe shoulders the impossible task of resci it from its incredible dilemma. It rambles on, shifting and twisting an< turning; taking refuge in enigmas and in sinuatiosa; talki :g about nothing and ap ropos of nothing; seeking a seapegoat for it burden of responsibility f rom any and ev er: source and quarter of the compass, whil the veracity of its written an d printed woru is assaled and denounced. wimthut asyh be of refutation from it. "Wie do not caire t take it up just nowv," it says. And thisi its only answer to the 'gauntiet thro.vi down by Governor Ellerbe in the takin up of which its honor is involved.

On our first page we give Uncle Georg Tllma's platform in the present camnpaigi for Governor.
