As a result of some drunken negros be ing at large in the public road, a serious accident occuied to a daughter of Hon. TI. B. Owen and his negro driver; it was last Thursday Mr. Owen had sent a buggy for his daughter who was attending schoo' at Summerton, and while on the way home three drucken negros came along in a vehi ce making such a terrnble fuss that Mr. Uwen's horse took fright, and threw out his daughter, breaking her collar bone,, and the negro driver was knocked sense O-s against a stump.

In looking over the list of companies that will make up our militia, we note with regret that the Manning Guards are not atong the number. It is to be hoped that Captain Lewi~swill get into immediate coin unication with General Floyd at once, andi get his company enrolled. When the comany was inspected by Colonel Frost we baci every reason to believe that it would he acceptedi, and the inspecting clii cer gatve every encouragement to Captain Lewi. We hope the absence of the Man ning Gutardls from the Adjutant and In specoi Gxeneral's order is an oversight. Maningiu should have a military comipany; it is a protection to lite and pr operty, and the ioung men of this town shauld become members and make this company second to none in the State.

It is known that on the 9th of next month the editor of THE TIMzs will be in Columbia attending the duties of his office, and of course this will necessarily take him away from the paper. We will try to arrange to put the paper into competent hands, but at the same time we know that unless a man is constantly at the helm he will find difficulties to get up a first class paper. We therefore beg our friends throughout the county to come to our aid, at least as long as we are in Columbia en deavoring to do something for t'2e people. We want news letters from every section of the county, and when too late to reach us by mail and within reach of a telephone we would appreciate a call of THE TIMEs office and give us what you know. Who ever we leave in charge of THE TIMas will greatly appreciate this aid and so will thc readers, and so will wve. WVe want a good lot of snappy news items. Giive them to us.

Oharleston where he was interested in the cotton factorage business, and wsas the outdoor man of the tirn of G. A. Norwood & Co., one or the most successful concerns in the city, besides he has hal much ix perience in the mercantile line in this county. It was he who founded the first tobacco warchouse here, and by his line business management he is making the success greater every year. W. (i. King as a man, and a merchant ht built up a reputation for level-headedness, and safety, rather the "Ben Walker" of the mercantile line, and Le carries in this new fhiri the confidence of the peopl: which is of rovre value than money capital.

So tbey contribute] a handsomie sun for this purpose. It came a few days ago; and many tuore whispered consutta Stions were held. As a gretat nitmy of the cadets were going home for the holidays, they desided to anticipate Santa Claus. Cadet Hutchinson made the presentatt iou After a few well chosen remarks he handed Cpt. Bradhama the beautiful sword as a "token of the appreciation which the re cruit class of '99 feel for your untiring ei forts." Capt. Bradhami fatced the cadets and said: "Fellow cadets of the South Cairolia Mlilitary Academy, corps of cadets, and gentlemen of the recruit class: In receiv ing such an honor I know nct how to thank you. The sunbeams of happiness reign supreme when such generosity <xists. Caesar, with all his power. never felt the apreciation I now feel.
