Sold by Dr W M1 Brockinton Last Saturday night some misereant litted some of the town street lamps from their posts, emptied the oil and threw one of the lamps into a lot belonging to Mrs. M1. M1. David. Whether the:' stole the oil for incendiary purposes we do net know, but the town is entirely unprotected at night, except on Boyce street, where the police usually guard. There is absolutely no protection two hundred yards from the court house and the property of citizens is enirel at the me of the lawless. J T Reese, Modoc, S C , writes: Have used Dr M A Simmous' liver medicine 12 years. Cured me of indigestioni and my wife of sick headache. Think il l orth four times as much as either Zeilin's or Black Draught I used. One of the first official acts performed Iy Governor Ellerbe after his return to Co lumbia from Sumnierville was the grantin. of a pardon to Cornelia Bryait, a white woman servintg sentence in the county jail. The first effo.t to induce the Governor to pardon this woman failed, but believing the case warranted a resort to every proper means to secure her release, another ef fort was made; the second time the j-il physician gave a certificate as to her condi tion and Rev. P. B. Wells wrot" a strong letter. On Wednesday night a tele;gram was received 1- the writer from the Gover nor's private secretary, notifying him of the pardon. He at once went to the j1l and gave the unfoitunate woman the in formation which she received with tvi dences of gratitude The next day Sheriff Bradham released her and she went di rectly in the country to her mother. The ancients believed that rheumatism was the work of a demon within a man. Nv one who has had an attack of seintic or inflammatory rheumatism will agree that the infliction is demoniac enough to warrant the belief. It has never been claimed that Chamberlain's Pain Bau would cast out demons, but it will cure rheumatism, and hundreds bear testimony to the truth of this statement. One appli cation relieves the pain and this quick re lief which it affords is alone worth many tImes its co:t. For sale by R. B. Loryea, druggist. A Chaingang Break Through Careless ness. In our last issue we denied the rumor of the escape of Bill Dixon from the chain gang, and our denial was correct, but the very next morning. last Thursday, the community was astounded to learn for a flct that at about 4 o'clock Bill Dixon and Bill Davis had actually made good an es cape, and It what we can learn is true the guards in charge of them are guilty of crim inal carelessness. Supervisor Owens miinst have been convinced of this. because he has employed Messrs. Beauregard Harvin and James H. Wmrdham to take their places. The report that reached THE TIMES is as follows: On Wednesday night when the prisoners were put up, the usual examina tion was made, and the prisoners were se curely locked up. About 4 o'clock the next morning the guards remained in their bunks and sent a "trdsty" to put a tub of water into the eage for the prisoners to wash. When the "trusty" opened the door Dixon and Davis emptied the tub in his face and rushed on to liberty. After they bad gotten away the guards came from tbeir beds and tired into space. None of the .ther prisoners attempted to get away, and it is not known how the "escapes" managed to get their shackles cut loose, un less they filed them apart during a rain which occurred in the night. Supervisor Owens was notified of the escape by a "trusty" who was sent to him by the uards. It seems that these "trusties" are given about as much latitude as if they were employees and not prisoners. A reward was recently paid for the cap ture of Dixon ar:d now we uaderstand that a reward is offered for him and his com panion. O course the taxpayers are charged up with these rewards and we can find no law for it. Nevertheless, law or no law, rewards axe paid out of the taxes, and all because men who are put in charge of prisoners and get pay for their work, per mit "trusties" to do their work for them. This last escape is so flagrantly careless that we do not believe, if a reward is paid for the capture of the prisoners, that it should be paid out of the pubhc treasury, but let it be paid by those who accept the responsibility and pay. There are times when escapes occur and a reward should be paid out of the treasury for the capture. but those escapes are only when proper precautions have been taken by the officials and they could not help it. In this case they are parties to the escape, by the fact that they eutrusted a priscner to do that which the county was paying them to do. Bill Dixon and Bill Davis are out, and as a consequence, devilinent has begun and no doubt will continue until they are placed beyond the reach of devilment; it is either themi or others operating in their name. Last Friday night a visit was paid to the Central nctel, and from the safe in the back piazza was taken a ham, two chickens, some beef, bread and milk. The robbers were not in a hurry, for signs were seen the next morning where they took their time to partake of the tempting refreshmetnts; they carried off their booty in a picnic basket belonging to one of the ladies. Saturday night about 1 o'clock Mr. Louis Levi was sitting out on the corner talking to Policeman Huggins when he heard a noise in the old store lot. Running over and mounting the fence he saw two figures making a hasty retreat from the side of the store. H~e was unarmed and could do nothing more than give the alarm. An examination of the piemises showed where tey had placed a ladder up to one of the side lights and nad a piece of an old scale in the fence corner, where, it is supposed, that one was to be placed to ,Tatch while the other miade the entry. Mr. Levi's ar rival frustrated the plan. It was also found where they had eaten supper; bread crumbs and a piece of paper was found wich smelled of cooked ham and a 10 cent piece was picked up in the same place. The scamps were determined to steal something that night. Isiael James heard a noise about bis stable and he got his gun and fired in tae direction of the noise. He heard two persons running, and afterwards found two barefooted tracks, similar to those seen in the Levi lot. On Sunday night an entrance was wade in the house of Leah Wragg and a lot of rations was stolen; crossing the street, they got into John Boyd's house and stole a pair of pants. These many depredations have aroused our citizens and if vigilance can catch them they will be caught. A sack of clothing was found last Mon day under a bridge by the academy. On examination it was found to contain a boy's coat very similar to One that used to be worn by a beef carrier by the name of James and whose sister married Bill Davis, a ladies' black skirt, supposed to have been sto!ci from the hotel, some shackles and one suit of convict's garb. A note addressed to the writer was found in the postoffice purporting to come from Dixon and Davis making vain-glorious boasts and threats, but we place no faith in it, believing it to be the work of some hu morist who wanted to see some fun. A Narrow Escape. Thankful words written by Mrs. Ada E. Hart, of Groton, S. D. "Was taken with a bad cold which settled my lungs; coagh set in and finally terminated in Consump tion.

Last Inday afternoon a meeting was held in the court house to informally discuss the above question. Captain D. J. Bradham was called to the cflair, and Prof. E. J. Browne was made Secretary. The chairman made a ittle talk and seemed moal, interested and anxious to have the people devise some means by which this town would better its school faeiltiet. W. C. Dultant, Esq., who had looked into the le-ai aspect of the ques tio, was called upon and he explained the lav and the manner in which we must pro ceed to cowmply with the law. After sombe discussion all pointing to the same end in view, that is. those pre sent favored the proposed graded school project, it was decided to form a special school district of aa area consisting of twvo and one halt miles in each direction from Manning with the exception of the north era side, and Black River to be the north ern line. A committee consisting of Capt. D. J. Brad'bam, J. II. Rigby and WV. C. Chandler was then appointed to take all the necessary !i gd step, after whi another meeting wil! be liel (I at the call the trust'ees. It was; ascertainted 1rOI. callitiol made, that by entting the district as pr posed, there is pro;'erty valuition suifici to raise enotiugi aron-v to ,ive us a school nine mllonts i the year, witho having to vote the tax levy limiiit.

Now it behooves every man woo wan to imiiprove our yeLoul lacilities to na everV mIin ntitled to vote to be at t. :imting, an! vote for the special ltr. W\\e hive made two efforts before in tb direction, anid on account of somes technic. omission tailed. Do not let us fail i:griil because we are about to confront an elue tiot,al famine, and we must take hold of tL condition, and treat it is common sen and civilization demands. We read in the newspapers every dr where churches and other organizatior are sending men and woman abroad t plant civilization, and we applaud the work. Are we consistent in this? Do w when we place our mite in the contributio plate for foreign nissionsever think of oi duty to ourselves at home? Does it occi to us when we display indfierence to or home affairs, that we are worse than ici s, ir we do not take care of our own? \\ believe strongly in carrying the flame eivilization on ahead, that tue nations m be enlightened, and we also believe in tl. missionary plan, but we think a ; ore binu tog duty devolves upon u;, when we in dark places, at home, that need the er hghtening flame. We have a beautifal town, blessed wit good health and water, and situated wlier if we will but improve our conditions thei is no reason why this town cannot be twit the size in a few -.ears, and there is r reason why we cannot have manutacturin industries to give employment and add I the wealth. What is the inducement t increase our popnirtion? Surely havin poor school facilities is no inducement f( pople to move here, buy and build u property, but on the other hand if we hai good sebools, every piece of property 1 thie town will increase with an actual valu because of a demand. Now, those wi own property have a price. but they fin no purebasers, because we hare nothing i induce new cowers. When our populatio increasc-s there must be found some meat to give employment for both, capital an labor. The man with nioney, wants b oney to make more for him, and he vi put that money in some enterprise wbic will give employment to our working po ulation; then various industries are put i peration, more people come here, tl property demand becomes greater, an more valuable, and all through the agen of a first class edaentional system. We cannot underst-ind why there shoul be any opposition to the project in vies of course it will increase the tax, but thos who own the Droperty are to be benefite first, with the advantage of the fri sceIool, second, with the increased valuatic in property. Those who own no proper really pay notbing at all, and get the ben fit by havin g their children made comp tat to acquire, and own property, and b come usetnl citizens. It shonld be vet readily seen then, that the taxpayers are I be compensated, as well as those whot fortune has not smiled upon and blessE them with property to be taxed.

I T SE EMS8 As if some of our competitors are puzzled to know how it is that we can sell our goods so cheap. They seem to think that we are selling our goods at cost. There is nothing like knowing where to buy goods and how to buy them. The time is past when a man can use all kinds of "booby" talk to sell goods. What the people want nowadays is a man to deal not in talking and running down others and putting all kinds of small tricks to get the trade, but they want goods at the lowest possible price, and the RACKET STORE is the place to get them. Our trade is increasing daily, and you know we must be selling goods cheap, and we certainly do appreciate the liberal patronage of the people of Clarendon County. Our Millinery Is more than double that of last season. The people are now beginning to see how high they have been paying for this line of goods. We sell our goods out at from 5 to 25 per cent. profit and we replenish every week. Old-time methods will suit old-time people, but in this day of enter prise and progress to keep up with the procession you must GET OUT OF THE RUT and employ modern methods; you must underbuy your compet itor before you can undersell him, and that is what we are doing daily. We rush out our goods and do not put them away in some hole or shelf and hold them for from 50 150 per cent. profit. We cannot boast of being a Clarendon man and being home here, but we do boast of selling goods cheaper and giving you better values than any Clarendon, Sumter, Williamsburg or any other man from any county in this or any other State in the Union. We are in a position to do so. The time has come when you must look out for yourself ; your friends are not going to give you anything or make a living for you, though I think we have some very good friends here in this town and county. Should we ever leave this town or State we will forever have a New York Racket Store with eleven million dollars worth of goods in New York to select from. We Will Not be Undersold by Any Man.
