Gresham, at the residence of the bride's father, Mr. W. W. James, at 3, p. in., Nov. 19th, inst. A good many farmers in the Fork section are going to plant wheat, and theL want some of the mills to put in a beolting machine. The first mill to ac commodate them will be the mill now being built on the Colclough place. A party of timber prospectors from Washington, D. C , passed through Manning yesterday mornmng, on their way to the swamps of Santee. They were accompained by Mr. Matthison, who owns a large -body of swamp tim ber, which is looked after by Mr. Geo. I. Lesesne. Some time during the night of the 18th, a small saw mill belonging to Mr. C. R. Harvin, situated near Paxville was, Mr. Harvin thinks set on fire, and destroyed, together with considerable lumber. The loss is about $1000 with - no insurance.

Last Monday a young white man, calling himself Baker, went to Mr. W. F. Duke, near Workman, hired to work, and after supper, he left the table ahead of the family, stole Mr. Duke's gun, went over to a neighbor's house, stole $3.00 from him, and then went to Mr. John Epps' and stole a set of har ness. The scamp has skipped. An altercation on last Monday morn ing between Hon. J. H. Lesesnne and and Professor W. A. Stuckey has furnished a great deal of material for gossip, notwithstanding the affair is sincerely deplored; both are brave and honorable gentlemen, and we are pleased to learn that their unfortunable differences have been adjusted. Miss Annie Loryea sent to the News and Courier a home raised lemon, which, brought forth an editiorial ad vocating the culture of lemons in this country. Miss Loryea's lemon meas ured 14t ounces in circunmferance. We know of a young lady in this town who has a small tree bearing quite a num ber of these same kind of mammoth lemons. As a result of a quarrel at a hot sup perDaniel Jones shot and killed Jim HaprGreen on Col. Brock's planta tion last Thursday night. Both are negroes, and it seems they had a fight and Jones smarting under the result of it, went home got his gun, and while Green was sitting in a chair in his own house, Jones shot him through a crack in the house and then skipped. Ben W. Bell of Davis, who was ar rested for passing a forged check on D. J. Chandler in Sumter, was very fortunate in securing a compromise. His father Mr. Manning Bell went te Sumter, paid Mr. Chandler the amount of the check, costs and all other ex penses incurred, and Mr. Chandler withdrew the complaint and had the unfortunate youug man released. Ben passed through here last Saturday night on his way home Died at his home near St. Paul the night of the 17th, Mr. Robert F. Tur ner aged about 69 years. The funeral took place at St. Paul the next after noon, the Summerton lodge of free masons participating with their ritual honors. Mr. Turner was a good citi zen. a successful farmer, and a whole souled and generous neighbor. His home was always open, and his hand was always free; in his death that community loses a valuable citizen. A horse belonging to Mr. Dock Ridgeway was stolen last Wednesday night and Clinton Wise from the Pax ville section was arrested in Sumter the next day at Harby's stable by Policeman Seymour. The arrest wai made upon telephone information sen1 from Manning. Wise claimed to be Elston Ridgeway, and that the horse belonged to his father, but when con fronted by parties who knew him, he admitted his identity and confessed the crime. He was committed to jail and afterwards sent to Manning. and lodg ed in thejail here where he will awail Court Continued. As we went to press last week the jury was in the room considering the t< case of Walter Banks, charged with t1 assault and battery with intent to kill, b and carrying a concealed weapon. y They returned a verdict of not grilty, p and Banks was immediately arrestel h upon a warrant from Sumter. h In the matter of Daniel Morris, J E. ti Morris, J. J. Morris, John Mclntosh, i and Milligan, malicious mischief, the tl verdict was guilty with recommenda- a tion to mercy, as to Daniel and J. E. a Morris, and not guilty as to the others. % The judge sentenced the parties to six a months on chain gang and a fine of fl fifty dollars each, making the imprison- 1L ment cease immediately upon the pay- r ment of the fine. The fine was paid by p a friend.lat once. n In the Court of Common Pleas the ti first case tried was S. W. Gowdy 0 against Ellen Gowdy and others for the t: recovery of land. The case was fought it hard on both sides, Capt. Kelly of S Kingstree and Wilson & DuRant were d the attorneys for the plaintiff, and h Hon. Jos. F. Rhame and Capt. W. C. fi Davis were the attorneys for the de- ai fendant. Throughout the entire case P there was a constant clash between the ai senior attorneys neither yielding to I the other. Captain Davis made the t( speech of his life, it was a very skillful g handling of the facts, eloquently put. g and convincingly presented, all of the tl other attorneys made fine speeches al- d so, but as one expressed it, "I do not n see how that jury can get around sc Davis' eloquence, and Rhame's horse c: sense law," this seemed to be the gen- 01 eral sentiment before the jury retired, tI and it was verified when the jury re- r turned a verdict for the defendants. a: The case of Ducket against Butler ai and others was argued to the judge P who took the papers and reserved his pi decision. ii In the case of Chewning et al against is Dingle et al a consent verdict was ren- si dered in favor of plaintiffs. 0 The last case tried was Eliza A. fe Epps against D. W. Alderman & Sons n< Co, suit for $600 damages, Capt. W. N C. Davis for plaintiff, WIlson & Du- n: Rant for defendant, verdict in favor of u] plaintiff for SI50 damages.

November, 19th, 1902. b To His Honor D. A. Townsend Judge Presiding November term of 44 court. Clarendon county: We the grand jury for Clarendon county ask to make this our present ment. We have endeavored to perform our duties conscientiously. We have o passed on the bills submitted to us, and 'c tried to give proper and prompt atten- c tion to each and every matter brought b before us. We would ask your Honor h to excuse any mistake or mistakes p made. Is We ask to report that the committee a appointed to look into all matters ap- a pertaining to public weal appointed by it grand jury report that they performed I1 the duties encumbered upon them. It M is with pride we report that our officers u are giving good services, that nothing a has been discovered to warrant us i It reporting our county officers as dere- e lict, while once and again we have a: been asked to criticise the "official con- F duct" of certain officers, and while we s believe that improvements might be made and that there are grounds for slight criticism, we do not hesitate to state to your Honor, that so far as we can see, there has been no wanton B neglect of duty. h. The recommendation made .by- us at at the former term of court. we would ask - o to hear from. We think that not only rt your Honor and the court officials:, should expect the recommendations to viy be regarded, but that the "common fe wealth" should expect all to be done a1 and to be executed. This grand jury la would not too harshly criticise our ti officers who have failed to measure up ti to what is expected of them by indi- a viduals. ' t Many complaints have been made with reference to roads and embridge- d ments on highways, etc. We hope t< that measures are being taken to reme- h dy this. .h We do earnestly appeal to the Legis- it lators from the county to take such w~ steps as might be necessary to provide oi the money for the construction of a is jail. The death trap used as jail has c; been condemned by every grand jury a: for years. We do now condemn the o) building. We hesitate not to say that r< the jail now used, is a disgrace to our d county. Members of this jury complim p that our public roads are still being en- o croached upon. t We ask that the recommendations c made by this jury at the last court be en- n forced. Appointed expert to make d examinations into the conduct of our o officials, reports as follows: e That he inspected the books of our is various county officers, that he was not 'w' able to find any irregularities. . p The examinations wvere necessarily n casual and limited there being but four it days allowed there for. The books of f< the various magistrates were carefully n, gone over. The money collected by it magistrates have been turned over to y the county; inspection of expert begins s< where former expert, J. H. Lesesne p left off. p We ask to hand to your Honor, the e. paper handed to us by Charltonx Du- ta Rant, Esq., with reference to the in- ti dexing of magistrate's deeds etc., .and fi asked that same be read and received d as a part of the presentment. si This we endorse and recommend h that appropriation be made to attain g the ends desired. The paper immed- p iately here-in before refered to is tl signed by A. Levi, Esq., Jacob A. n Weinberg, J. H. Timmons clerk of o court, J. H. Lesesne, Esq., and Charl- t1 ton DuRant, Esq. a S. M. Youmans, Esq., has turned over to us, testimony taken "in exparte y way," in case presented to this jury on s the 18th, against J. P. Turbeville by . R Keels. Esq., We are asked to make presentment of the testimony which is attached here to, and we are further requested to t ask that this honorable court act at r once in this matter. Thanking your Honor for your cour- t teous treatment, as also patience, we respectfully submit this our present ment. S.

Loryea Drug Store. A quiet but very beautiful wedding took place in this city on Wednesday afternoon at the residence of Mr. Robert Waring on Bull street. The contracting parties were Dr. William Sims Boyd, formerly of South Caroli- I na, but now of Jersey City, and Ni~isst Florence Augusta Evans of Orange- f burg county. The florail decorations in chrysan- f themums, roses and lilies were ex- I quisite. The Rev. Churchill Satter-a lee, rector of Trinity. performed thei ceremony. Mrs. WV. H. Gilliard, sister of the groom and .Miss Mina Gilliard, his niece, were present. The happyi pair left immediataly for their future I ome in .Tercey Citv-Sundav's State. Tom Wilder Here. Among the recent arrivals in this >wn none was more gladly welcomed ian W. Thompson Wilder. who has een away from Manning about eight ears. Mr. Wilder has had quite an ex erience. He left here with failing ealth and went to Texas, from there e sought the climate of Mexico, re irning to Texas. he found an outdoor fe was much in his favor, so he joined le United States army, his gentility tracted the attention of his officers ad after a short period of service, he as given trusted positions that or inary enlisted men are seldom con ded in. He served through the Span h-American war in this country and ?tired from the service in the Philip nes. Mr. Wilder's efficiency was so tuch appreciated, that when his army me was out. he was made a boarding licer in the Custom-house at one of ie principal seaports, and is now hold ig a still higher position in the United ates service at Manila. - Mr. Wilder tained a three months leave, and this e is using to visit his relatives and -iends. He speaks Spanish fluently, 2d talks very interestingly about the hilippines, the natives, their customs. id their ability for self government. i his opinion the Fillipinos are not fit govern themselves, and they are be nning to take kindly to the new civil >vernument. He says, the people of is country are misled about the con tions. and the tales of horror are uch exaggerated, and while there is me ground for complaint, as is the se in all countries where a condition war has existed, yet it is not any ing like as bad as politicians would ake it appear, and no worse, if as bad, was the condition in this country ter the civil war. The people of the hilippines have got to start life afresh st as they do everywhere where an vading army has passed over; there a condition of devastation, no rice, gar, or any of the other farm products the country, but the lands are very rtile and will soon be back in their )rmal condition. He says the city of :anila, is an old Spanish city with its irrow streets, and its plazas, the pop ation made up of all nations and there lots of gaity. The social conditions -e excellent, and among the better ass of natives the society is very fine. e is very fond of the country, and has uch confidence in its future. He will here the rest. of this week. and then will go to the up country, before >ing across the continent where he ill take ship for China. Mr. Wilder is prospered well, his health is good, it notwithstanding his success in this r away land, and his going back rain, yet we can see that he feels here's no place like home."

Last Sunday morning policeman uggins, arrested and put in the guard yuse, for violating the Sunday ordmn ie, 'Jimnmy Scurrey the news butcher ithe train from Charleston. Scur y sold some cigars out of hais train indow to a party at the depot. This ung man was arrested once before, r the same offense and was fined $5. id now it is believed that his action st Sunday was a studied one through t advice of counsel, and his permit ng himself to be incarcerated means test case, and the involving of the in in a law suit. We understand that there is some ubt about the depot being within the >wn limits. The charter calls for one if mile each way from the court use, and it is said, that notwithstand g the Rutledge survey, a resurvey ill show the depot to be just on the tside; we do not know whether this so or not, but if it is so, the town inot be held, even if it did wrong to rest this young man. There is an d ordinance which has never been ~pealed. which forbids selling on Sun y, and we think the ordinance a oper one if it will cover every class business alike, as it is now, it makes e selling of a cigar a guardhouse rime and permits livery stables, ews-stands and drug stores to con act business the same as on any her day. This is objectionable be muse it is discriminating, and if there any one thing an American citizen 'ill 'resent it is discrimination, and a~rtialitv. Enforce the Sunday law. man has a rie-ht to conduct a traffic ig business on a day set aside by law r religious worship, at the same time, hen such a law is to be enforcd make bear equally on everybody. The ung man arrested Sunday for selling me cigars was locked up in the town rison, and within a few feet from the rison was a man trotting a horse in a tele on the public street, preparatory hitching him in a buggy. Under 1 town ordinance it was niot unlaw 1 for the stables, news-stands, and rug stores to do business, but it is to all the cigar, now which is the most armful? There is such a thing as etting too straight, and this we disap ro-e of. We believe in respecting e ordinances, but we would have a iuch higher respect for the fairness the oflicials if they would make aeir ordinances cover everybody The young man was given a hearing esterday afternoon, admitted that he ld the cigars, and was fined $5.
