Entered at the Post Office at Manning as Second-Class Matter. NOT HURI !Nti FIREBRANDS. We see it stated that Governor McSweeney will not reappoint Craw ford on the constabulary force who was recently acquitted of the charge of murder by a Kershaw jury. We are satisfied the jury did their duty by acquitting the prisoner, because under the evidence a different ver dict would have been a clear viola tion of the oaths taken. And now that a jury has removed the stain of murdei from Crawford he should seek other employment than the con stabulary, an employment less liable to bring him into trouble. It is said the Governor will not reappoint Crawford because he does not intend to increase the force; this may be one of the reasons, but it is our opinion that Governor McSweeney knows the existence of ill-feeling throughout the State against Craw ford, and his re-appointment would be very offensive to a large number of citizens, some of whom are not op posed to the dispensary law; for this reason he would very properly de cline to reinstate Crawford on the force. Governor McSweeney has not as yet given out a defined policy, but those who bave watched his public career, will agree with us when we say that he is not a hurler of fire brands, and that his efforts will be directed towards executing the laws of the State firmly and with kindness. The dispensary law has given public men a considerable amount of worry, and about the time prejudice takes a vacation, some thoughtless act will call it back, and the enemies of the law use it to fan the embers of preju dice into flames of hate. When Con stable Crawford fired the shot which killed Mrs. Stuart, from one end of the State to the other, did the ene mies of the law seek to poison the minds of the people against the law, and we have no doubt had an elec tion taken place then, the General Assembly would be composed largely of opponents of the dispensary law. But like all questions, there are two sides, and when Crawford's side was heard by an unprejudiced jury he was exonerated. But the question now is, would it be wise for the Gov ernor to reinstate on the force a man who is the object of hate? Would the appointment of such an one have a tendency to bring respect to the law? Or would the reappointment of Craw ford be a source of irritation? If it is, the Governor's purpose not to re instate Crawford we think we see the wisdom of such a course. The Fitzsimmons-Jeffries fistic con test last Friday night on Coney Is land resulted in a great surprise for some with sporting proclivities. Jef fries knocked Fitzsimmons out in ele ven rounds, and many a poor "chump" is now making a battle with poverty as the result of too much faith in Fitzeimmons. This prize fighting business gives the moralist a theme to cover newspaper space, and it also furnishes a subject for many a preacher who had about run out of material; it will be seen therefore, the "manly art" haas some uses. It makes the fool, and his money soon part, it provides splendid material for the uncorking of bottled up eloquence, and it exposes much hypocrisy. Keep an eye on some men who are loud mouthed in their professions of piety and see if you cannot catch them encouraging the ''manly art" with their patronage. Mr. W. B. Wilson, formerly of Clar endon, but now a prominent busi ness man of Charleston, has been se lected as one of the committee to go to Los Angeles to induce the Na tional Educational Association to hold their next convention in Char leston. This is a great compliment to M1r. Wilson and one which is ap preciated by his friends. Willie Wil son went to Charleston and became secretary of the Carolina Grocery Company; the responsibility of the concern's management fell upon him, and so well has he handled that im mense business that the Merchants' Exchange, in recognition of his bus iness ability, made hima their presi dent. He has taken a prominent stnd in all coameial mattfme- and, although a very young man, he is regarded one of the best business men in the city. It is with pride that we notice the progress of one of our boys. When "Billy" Wilson reaches Los Angeles with Dr. Woodward of the South Carolina College and Dr. Montague of Furman University, Charleston will have a warm advocate of her interests. The high muck-a-mucks of the Democratic party are beating the bushes for a battle-cry to be used in the next national contest. The party is seriously divided as to the advisabil ity of continuing the fight with silver as the paramount issue. There are a great many silverites who think it impolitic to keep the golb Demo crats out of line, and there tl:e others who believe if the silver issue is dropped a good strong fight with an almost solid Democracy can be made against expansion and imperialism However, notwithstanding the opin ions to the contrary, of the great leaders, we are still of the opinion that the Democratic party cannot win in the next national fight. We have never read where the people have refused to endorse an adminis tration in power after a war, and on the wr issue alone will the Republi cans retain their grip upon the gov ernment for another term. It is true that the Republicans are not alone entitled to all of the glory the success A'.aerican arms have brought, but they are in power, and to them will the glory go, regardless of all other issues or questions politicians may invent. It is our opinion that the most the Democrats can hope for, is the keeping of the party in line and the gain of seats in the lower House of Congress. Elsewhere in this issue will be read a biographical sketch of the present Governor of South Carolina. This sketch is published in THE Tms for a two-fold purpose. First, because it based upon facts and second, it is a hope held out to the young men of the State. Every parent should re quire their children to read the ca reer of Miles B. McSweeney, and then impress it upon them that what was possible for a McSweeney is possi ble for them, if they will employ their time and talents properly. Mer it, like truth, may be crushed to earth for a time, but there is no earthly power able to keep it crushed; it will rise, and its beauty and brilliancy will shine the greater, for having been obstructed in its ascendant path. There has been an idea in the minds of many that a man had to spring from a certain sect or class to rise to influence in this State, but the career of M. B. McSweeney proves that this class obstacle cannot with stand merit when backed up with honesty, ability, pluck and energy. It was these elements of character that broke down the barriers before a Mc Duflie, an O'Neal, a Geddings, a Thornwell. These mentioned celeb rities started life on the bottom rounds of the ladder and without the aid of family prestige and fortune, they made proud history and fame for their State. McSweeney has within his make-up the characterist ics of all of these great men. Left an orphan at an early age his battle of life began soon; how he succeeded the biographer graphically tells us, and the beauty of the story is, in its truth. Boys,zve invite your attention and beg that you will study every line in the sketch, and when you have done that, make a resolution to emulate the example set by Charleston's or phan newsboy. What was accom plished by Miles Benjamin McSwee ney can be accomplished by every one of you. Of course all cannot be come Governors, but all of you can strive and succeed in reaching a high and honorable place in your chosen callings, whether it be the farm, work shop, store, the law or the ministry or any other avocation in life; suc cess must attend your efforts if those efforts are built upon the foundation stone of integrity, energy and ability. Let these three virtues be the cardi nal principles-the guiding star in the lives of our young men. There is more catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put to gether, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Sci ence has proven catarrh to be a constitu tional disease, and therefore requires con stitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & (so., Tol edo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous sur faces ot the system. They offer one huD dred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Ad dress, F. J.

M1rs. 3Michael Curtain, Plainfield, Ill., makes the statement, that she caught cold, which settled on her lungs; she was treated for a month by her family physician, but grew worse. He told her she was a hope iSS victim of Consumption and that no medicine could cure her. Her druggist suggested Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption; she bought a bottle and to Iher delight found herself benefitted from first dose. She continued its use and after taking six bottles, found herself sound and well; now does her own housework, and is as well as she ever was-Free trial bottles of this great Discovery at R. B. Loryea's Drug Store. Large bottles 50 cents and Washington Letter. (From our Regular Correspondent.) Washington, June 9.-When the influences which were brought to bear in his favor were considered, the ease with which Henderson, of Iowa, knocked out all the other candidates for Speaker and made his own elec tion certain had nothing wonderful about it. It was a simple case of cause and effect. The principal fac tor in his speedy success was the tip given out by the administration in his favor. That tip was a little bit puzzling at first, because it had been understood that the administration was rather inclined to favor Sherman when Reed's retirement first became known. There were several reasons for the transfer of the favor of the administration from Sherman to Hen derson. Mr. McKinley was jealous of the influence that Tom Reed woul have with Sherman, wished to jolly the West by aiding it to capture the Speakership, and was most anxious of all to put a man in the Speaker's chair who could not become a can didate for President-Henderson's birthplace was Scotland. The great personal popularity of Henderson made it easier tc engineer the stam pede to him than it would have been to any other man who was named as a candidate. While no man in Con gress is a stronger partisan than "Dave" Henderson, no man in Con gress has fewer personal enemies than he. What his policy as Speaker will be is yet to be ascertained. As a member of Reed's Committee on Rules be always helped to carry out the Reed programme. Themost interesting bit of political gossip of the week is that in addition to practicing law in New York, Mr. Reed intends to retain his seat in the House to take an important part in all discussions that will give him a chance to pay off an old score or to push himself to the head of his party. Although this is only a rumor, with the probabilities strongly against it, there is alarm in administration cir cles on account of it. There is no doubt that Mr. Reed could make a lot of trouble for the administration should he set up as a free lance on the floor of the house, as he is known to be opposed to the policy of the ad ministration on a number of impor tant questions. Mr. McKinley would much sooner have Reed in the Speak er's chair, where his party responsi bility would act as a restraint, than to have him on the floor armed with a club and looking out for heads to crack, with no responsibility to any thing except his constituents. This gossip is likely to continue unt.il Mr. Reed resigns as a member of the House, nobody seems to know when he will do, if at all. Boss Hanna is trying to enact the role of the boy who has to be begged to play. He says he doesn't wish to remain at the head of the republican National Committee, during next year's campaign, because his health, for which he has been ordered to Europe, isn't what it was, and be cause there is so much work attached to the position that it allows him no oportunity to indulge in recreation and diversions. He gave the whole snap away by adding the position migh be forced upon him again, in which case he would take it, but he wanted it known that he would do so against his wishes. Tommyrot every word of it. Hanna would throw a series of fits if be thought any other man would be put at the head of the republican committee. Owing to his numerous trust connections, he is making a grandstand play, intended to convince jays that he doesn't wish to manage the campaign. Ex-Congressman Follet, of Ohio, is sanguine that the democrats have more than a fighting chance to carry that State this year. He said: "The democrats of Ohio have solid grounds for believing that they can elect the the Gov. this year. The revolt among the republicans who dislike Senator Hanna and his methods, and who are dissatisfied with the nomina tion of Judge Nash, will split the re publican party asunder. In fact, the breach between the factions is too wide to be healed, and all talk of har mony is for effect. The Ohio democ racy is going into this campaign unit e, confident and enthusiastic, while the opposition, conscious of the divi sion in its ranks, is timid and dubi ous of the result." A handsome and life-like marble bust of Hon. Win. J. Bryan, made by order of a number of Washington democrats to be presented to Mrs. Bryan on her birthday, is on exhibi tion in Washington. The difference b'etween enthusiasm and cold cash is being exemplified by the slow growth of the fund for the purchase of a Washington house for Admiral Dewey. Subscriptions come in slower and slower and the total is still less than $7,000. No official news from the Philip pines has been given out this week, although it is known that long dis patches have been received both trom General Otis and from Mr. Schurman, President of the Philippine Commis sion. It is also known that these dis patches did not agree in conclusions reached. Replies were sent to both, and Secretary Hay made publie an oficial denial of the report that the civil commissioners were to be order ed home. A Woman's Letter. Coolidge, Ky., Aug. 20, 1898.

There was an immense crowd pres ent to witness these exercises and every one, we believe, went home de lighted, feeling they were abundant ly rewarded for any sacrifice they may have made to be there. Each of the pupils performed his or her part excellently. Mr. Editor, we have the unenvia ble (?) reputation of living on "Pud din' Swamp," but, sir, we are proud of our young people and are not ashamed to compare them with those of any other section of the country. We feel that it is due our teachers to say that in all it takes to constitute a thoroughly equipped and success ful teacher ours are prepared, and that community which secures either of them for the next scholastic year will indeed be fortunate. Our graded school here at Pine Grove is up-to-date in every respect. Our teachers are qualified for their work both mentally and morally. One of them being a graduate of Wofford College and the other a grad uate of Columbia Female College, we are prepared to do first class aca demic work. We can offer good board at very reasonable rates and therefore invite patronage from a distance. One of our boys entered the Sophomore class at Wofford last year from this school. Our next ses sion will open the first of October. MORE ANON. Would naot Suffer so AgaIn for Fifty Times Its Price. I awoke last night with severe pains in my stomiac'i. I never felt so badly in all my life When I came down to work this morning I felt so weak I could hardly work. I went to Miller & McCurdy's drug store and they recommended Chamber lain's Colic, Cholera and Disrrhoea Rem edy. It worked like magic and one dose fxed me all right. It certainly is the finest thing I ever used for stomach trouble.

TIEs: The crops are looking fine in this section and we have had some fine rains since my last writing. The farmers are busily engaged in getting their crops cultivated and will soon be laying by. I had presented to me yesterday a pretty cotton blossom by Mr. M. M. Graham, being the first of the sea son. He deserves praise in this section in raising the first blossom. Last week was a spectacle of hot summer days, on Thursday tbe ther mometer registering 100 degrees in the shade. News is very scarce here now and it is very diffcult to get one's thoughts collected on any subject. The youngest son of Mr. C. L. Griffn, while playing around the house last Friday, discovered a bot tle with some medicine and drank it. Mrs. Griffn put him to sleep and in a little while he awoke in convulsions. It was found that he drank poison and the physicians just got there in the nick of time to save the little fel low. It caused great excitement all over the community and we are glad to see him out again. The ice cream festival passed off very pleasantly. Owing to the small number present the proceeds didn't amount to much, being in the neigh borhood of $20 clear. Miss Oneida Griffn has returned bomne from Orangeburg Graded Sciool for the vacation. Miss Leonora Lawrence has re turned home from Winthrop Normal College for the vacation. Miss Camilla Geddings returned to er home at Summerton Sunday, after a few weeks' visit to relatives here. J.
