Wanted-The Manning business me~n to get together and give some practi cal demonstration of their faith in the future of this town. This they can do by holding out some inducement co bring two railroads here at a very early date. County Commissioners do not lose sight of the new road leading to the tobacco belt of this county. Such a road will be worth thousands of dollars in trade to this town, and it would also be a great saving to the tobocco grow ing farming. Died in Sumter yesterday morning Richard I Manning, Jr., son of Hon. R. I. Manning. The deceased was a handsome specimen of genteel man hood, popular, bright and gav~e great promise. His early taking away is a terrific blow to his father, whom we know felt proud of such a noble son.

Aparty of Clarendon hunters left here yesterday for Hell-Hole swamp for a two weeks sport, Several of the party encouraged us in the hope that we will share in the spoils of that hunt, and it would not surprise us if the ex press brings us a brace of ducks or a wild turkey. Whit Plowden is one of party, and while here last Saturday he was so full--of anticipation, that he made us anxious for the crowd to get away so that our share would soon be forthcoming.

Train 53 from Columbia to Charleston passed over the legs of Magistrate John Wind ham who it is supposed was lying down across the track. Both legs were cut off, and the unfortunate man lived a 1 few hours. We are told that when he realized the extent of his injuries, he 3 said it was no fault of the railroad, and S that he alone was to blame for his con dition. The deceased was the brother of Mr. P. M.

Next Monday will be 22 years of ourt being driven in douple harness, and we have a heart full of gratefulnes for be ing blessed with a good constitution. ~ It is only the meek and robust that can r stand so long and constant a drive. We a mention this, so as to give courage to the many who are doubling up this 6 year, that their fears may be quieted, f and that they may look to the writer f6 for hope; miarriage is not so bad, as ~ people who have been dissapointed in C love would have them believe, nor is it a such a failure, as the father of sixteen 6 children croaks about. It is not half f as bad as the old maid who says "I E would not marry the best man on earth,'' r thinks, nor is a man harassed by his ~ wife, any more than is absolutely neces- E sary for her to keep abreast of the new C styles in millinery and dresses. We C have been married 22 years, and am v alive to tell it; true, when we were first married, this earth was one beau- C tiful paradise, the better half was well E supplied with the things that "Pa" had' to pay for; but our turn came, con- E tinued to come, until it has become a C continuous stream of comes, and the i doctor, the butcher, the baker, and the merchant has robbed us of our paradise. t We suppose nature has thus ordained, that everything must wear, the con stant falling of a drop of water on a stone will wear it out, then it is not at all astonishing that earthly paradisesC should become worn, the growing andC constantidemands has silvered the re-C maining hairs of our head, and the fre- 1 quent dodging has taken the elasticity I out of onr neck, but we survive, and 1 would not swap off our present condi- I tion, even if it is 22 years old, for the independence of any fellow on the I chain-gang convicted of bigamy; even though he be bran-new and up-to-date. Foils A Deadly Attack. "Mv wife was so all that good phys - cians were unable to help her," writes M. M. Austin, of Winchester, Ind., "but was completely cured by Dr. King's New Life Pills.'' They work wonders in stomach and liber troubles. Cure constipation, sick headache. 25c at The R. B. Loryea Drug Store. There is at large a chap who needs heroic treatment at the hands of some one, his name is Henry Baker, and1 from appearances he does not impress one as being possessed of any shrewd-1 ness whatever: but that he is a sharper there is no doubt. Some few weeks ago he went to the house of a Mr. Duke near Workman and hired himself to work, while the family were at supper, Baker pilfered the house and went to a negroes house and did some stealing there, and then skipped out. The next thing we hear of him, he is in Florence ounty near Bethlehem at Mr. Jake Hudson's a son-in-law of Mr. J. Furman Cole. He hires himself to Hudson, and borrows Hudson's pair of mules and a wagon to bring his family on Hudsons place. The day he started off Tuesday of last week, was'cold, and Mr. Hudson loaned him an overcoat. Baker warm y clad, started out with the borrowe~d team, but when the time came for his return he did not show up, thinkino something had happened to necessitate the elay, the owner of the property waited until the long absence brought on alarm, a search was instituted, and the fellow was traced coming towards Manning. He stayed over night at a Mr. Jeffords, and left a mule and wagon there, and it was learned that he got a horse and wagon from a negro by the name of Montgomery.] Baker 'evidently disposed of the Hudson outfit, and either bought or stole the horse and wagon, as neither was the original property. A warrant was taken out here for the man, but up to now we have not heard of his arrest. Several people from the Salem section are after him. We are told that Baker has the appearance of not being very bright and that he wanders about from place to place pretending to be in search of work when the fact is, he is a pretty shrewd scoundrel, and his ignorance is affected. Keep ag eye open for this fellow and help to put hrim where such cattle belong. o A0 2o 2.2A.. Bean te The Kind You Have Always Bought DEATH OF GEN. E. W. MOISE.
