[50-tf An altercation took place ne-ar Packsville last Friday between Mr. Hampton E. Cut ter, a prominent young farmer, and Nap Johnson, a negro. The difficulty resulted in Johnson being severely cut by Mr. Cut ter. An affidavit was made before Judge J. F. Richbourg for the arrest of Mr. Cut ter. Right now there is a demand for several tenant houses and they are sadly needed. We know of several families who are desir able neighbors anxious to rent comnfortable houses, and so far they are not to be had.

Brown of Packsville and she was tracked to Sumter and found in possession of butchers Weeks & Bradwell who bought the cow from an unknown negro for $7. When the trade was made the firm only had one dollar and they told the darkey he would have to wait until the bank opened so they could pay him the balance. The thief took the dollar, went off and never went back for the rest. No doubt his suspicions were aroused or he might have espied the search ing party. This is the second cow stolen from that community recently and we think it would be a good idea for Judge Rich bourg to apply the vagrant law to gentle men of elegant leisure whom he might find loitering about in that section. If that doesn't have the desired effect a dozen blue pills properly distributed into the car casses of these scoundrels might bring about the desired result. Thousands of persons have been cured of piles by using DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salv:. It heils prompitly and cures eczema and all skir. diseases. It gives immediate relief. R. B. Loryea, Manning; L. W.

Elbert Davis presiding. The roll call showed a quorum present, and the chairman proceeded to read the call and announced the committee ready for busi ness. The rules governing the Democratic primary as adopted by the State conven tion were read and adopted as the rules governing the county primary. A copy of said rules will accompany the ballot boxes. A new club known as White Democratic club, recently organized. was admitted. On motion it was decided that inasmuch as six clubs were not represented at the meeting, and as a consequence there were no suggestions as to who should act as man agers for these absent clubs, it was ordered that the county chairman be instructed to confer with the presidents or committee men of the absent clubs and obtain names to act as managers, and in case he cannot obtain the names in this way, that he is authorized to appoint the managers. The following were the missing clubs: Fork, Foreston Reform, New Town, Silver and Trinity. A resolution offired and advocated by Mr. Louis Appelt to provide for a separa:e box to ascertain the will of the people on the question of Prohibition and Dispen sary, after considerable discussion was re garded by the committee to be unnecessary and the same was lost. The matter of pay for the managers was also discussed and it was decided to give them, after deducting the necessary assessments, all money left in the treasury. The following are the managers: Alcolu-J J Nettles, J R Hodge, J W rasington. Clarendon Cross Roads-J F Richbourg, G I Le sesne, J J Gardner. Doctor Swamu-I N Tobias, C J Haley, S F Parker.

It was requested that the names of man agers for the clubs not represented be sent to the county chairman as soon as possible. All the pledges of candidates, together with the assessment fee, must be in the hands of the county chairman not later than the 20th day of August. The county campaign meetings will be held as follows: Pin ewood, August 22. Packsville, August 23. Summerton, August 24. Manning, August 25. Foreston. August 26. Boykin's Mill, August 27.

Railroad Wreek-Manningites oi Board. Mail train No. 52 from Charleston to Columbia via Manning yesterday was wrecked about four miles this side of Columbia and the engine and three coaches were hauled down an embankment 20 or 25 feet at Hamp ton's pond. Among the passengers were Mrs. J. R. McLean and her daughter. Miss Jessie, en route to Spartanburg. and Lieutenant A. C. Davis, returning to his company. The ladies were severely shaken up and bruised, but not seriously hurt. Lieutenant Davis was cut about the head and his body badly bruised, but it is hoped that he, too, has no seri ous injury. The first news of the wreck to reach here yesterday afternoon was a tele gram stating that Davis had several ribs broken: later, after Dr. Taylor made an examination, another tele gram came which stated that no bones were broken. All of the injured passengers were taken into Columbia: those most se riouslv hurt were sent to the hospi tal, the others were placed at hotels, where they are receiving the best of attention. Engineer Johnson was badly scald ed and when he was picked up his flesh dropped from him. Conductor Webb was in charge of the train. The afternoon Register says: The exact cause of the wreck was not clear from the information received and a special was made up. It left the station about 12:15 o'clock for the scene of the ac cident. From one who came from Hamp ton's it is stated that the front truck on the engine was displaced and the engine went down the embankment near Hampton's pond about 20 or 25 feet. The engine fell on her side. The coaches fell over on the engine and also fell down the embankment. The cars were badly smashed. The passengers remained remiarkably cocI under these trying circumstances, and this was especialy so with the male pas sengers on board. As soon as possible, passengers were extricated from their per ilous positions. Some were found to be painfully hurt. The crew on the South Carolina and Georgia road generously rendered assist nce, and took aboard all who were anx ions to get to Columbia. The train was going at the rate of about 10 miles an hour, and it is miraculous that those aboard were not instantly killed. rhere were only three passenger coaches. Ibe second cl iss car was filled with steam md smoke and the few passengers in it :ame near suffocating. Diseases of the Blood and Nerves. No one need suffer with neuralgia.

In announcing my candidacy for the tate Senate ] stated my position on the question of prohibition vs. dispensary, and promised to request that a separate box for the determination of this question be placed at each club in order to ascertain the wishes of the majority, pledging myself to be gov erned tbereby. The county executive com mittee met last Saturday and in accordance with my promise I offered the following resolution: "Whereas, There is a question of grave importance now before the people and one n which they have a right to instruct their Representatives in the General Assembly Prohibition-Dispensary, and in order that :ur Representatives may know the wishes Af the people on this question, Resolved. That the county chairman is hereby instructed to provide a separate box at each club wherein the voters may ast their votes for Prohibition or Dispen sary and the county chairman is further in structed to have printed at the expense of the committee's tieasury an equal number of tickets of sufficient quantity for said election; one half the number of tickets are to have the word "Prohibition" and the other halt the word "Dispensary;" that when the result of this ballot is announced the Representatives from this county shall stand pledged to support the expressed wishes of the majority." I pressed the resolution and was sincere in the hope that it would have no opposi tion. and the people would have an oppor tunity to vote for men upon their merit without being hampered with one single issue, but the resolution failed to meet the approval of the committee and was lost without having received a second. I men tion this only because I made a promise. and failing to accomplish my purpose I feel it my duty to explain the cause. Loris APrEILr. Attention, Manning Guards'.

As to our county candi lates, it is supposed that they are personally acquainted with every voter, so it is not my purpose nor do I intend to discuss their fitness or unfitness for the office to which they aspire. I do hope that each and every voter will exercise his best judgment in the matter and carefully weigh each candidate and give his suffrage to only those men who are thoroughly qualified to fill the posi tions they ask for at the hands of the people. An honest citizen who has the velfare -of his county at heart should not allow his friendly or blood relationship to influence him in th~e least, but vote squarely on a princi pal which is always dictated by an bonest conscience. I do not think, however, it would be amiss to say a word in behalf of one of the candidates for a State of fiee. I have known Leland P. Epton, candidate for Comptroller General for about twenty-five years and I can assure the voters of this county that if they knew him as I do he would miss very few votes in Clarendon. In the race for County Auditor he re eeived the largest majority ever given a candidate in Spartanburg county. I hope every voter in Clarendon in making up his ballot will remember L. P. Epton, the one-armed boy from Spartanburg county, candidate for Comptroller General. A CLARENDON VOTER. Prsons troubled with diarrhoea will be interested in the experience of Mr. W. M. Bush, clerk of Hotel Dorrance, Providence, i. I. Hie says: "For several years I have been almost a constant sufferer from diar rha, the frequent attacks completely pros trating mae and rendering me unfit for my duties at this hotel. About two years ago a traveling salesman kindly gave me a small bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhwa Remedy. Much to my surprise and delight its effects were immediate. Whenever I felt symptoms of the disease I would fortif'ynmyself airainst the attack with a few (loses of this valuable remedy. The result has been very satisfactory and almost com~lete relief from the affliction." For sale by iR. ]B. Loryea, the druggist. Every man who marries a woman for her beauty alone must expect to get about the same kind of satisfac tion as the negro (who ate a mocking bird on acontn of his fine singing) Prohibition Impracticable. The prohibitionists are making a hard and determined fight to control the govern merit of our State, but they are fighting behind the rampart of democracy, and their standardbearers are couducting a court eous and decent campaign. They appeal to the sober sense of the voters, and do not attempt to build themselves up by blacken ing the character of their honorable oppo nents. It matters not what the result of our democratic primary, those Prohibi tion candidates have so conducted them selves as to win the respect of the public. They rely for success on reason and argu ment, and not on baseless charges against their opponents, and do not appeal to the prejudice and factional antagonism. But the Prohibitionists are leading a for lorn hope, and every discerni-ng member of that faction fully realizes this. While the dispensary has its defects, it is a new experiment, and can be changed and mod ified as improvements are suggested. Any law that in one night closed the doors of every bar-room in our State, and then sealed them up by a constitutional provis ion, is certainly a great moral stride for ward, and the sober-minded people will give it due and proper credit for the good it has already done. That the dispensary has greatly reduced the evil of liquor drinking is apparent to every one. It is a rare thing now to see a drunken man on the streets, and we do not krsow a young man in our city addicted to the excessive use of stimulants. While there is no hope of saving the confirmed drunkards, under the operations of the dis pensary we are certainly raising up a set of sober, moral young men. The beguile ments and enticements that surrounded the guilded saloons have been removed from their path, and there is no tempta tion to induce them to enter a dispensary. In fact, the young man who desires to re Lain the respect and confidence of the pub lic would not be seen to enter the doors of a place where liquors are sold. Many a mother now sleeps soundly at night when her boy is down town, as she knows that the temptations of bar-rooms have been re moved. This is something to relieve the minds of the good women of our State, and to soothe their pillows at night. We have tried prohibition, and that has been found to be utterly impracticable, and so far from lessening the evils of liquor drinking, has resulted simply in exchang ing licensed and regulated bar-rooms for countless blind tiger dens, where the vilest brands of liquors are sold to whoever has the money to buy. When Judge Simonton rendered his first decision and Governor Tillman closed up every dispensary in the State, the Prohibi tionists then bad an opportunity to put their theory to a fair test. But as every person who visited one of our towns at that time knows, there was never such a reign of liquor selling and drunkenness known in South Carolina. Every bar-room at once threw wide open its doors, and whiskey was sold by the drink, or in any quantity desired. Until late at night those saloons were kept open, and no attempt made to disguise their business. But during that period the Prohibition ists were as dumb as an oyster, and you never heard one chirp from them. So it seems that it was not liquor selling that they were fighting so much as the dispen sary law. Now, liad the Prohibitionists taken ad vantage of the situation to have waged such a relentless war against those bar-rooms as to result in closing their doors, then, with some degree of consistency might they have organized the campaign they are now making over our State, and the people would have believed their professions. But the era of free liquer is too fresh in the minds of our people for them to be again deceived by any such a mirage as prohibi tion-for if the liquor traflic could not be controlled when the Prohiibitionists were backed by both the federal courts and the Governor of our State, how can they expect to control it should their cause triumph in the coming campaign? The people are entirely content with the dispensary law, and while they admit that it can be improved, it is a mighty good foundation upon which to build. And again, how do the Prohibitionists intend te provide for our county schools when they take from them their principal source for support? And it is no worse to educate those little country boys and girls with whiskey money than it was to keep up public schools in our towns and <.ities with funds derived from licensed inr rooms, which was done for years before the dispensary law went into force .-Piedmo at Headlight.
