Immediately after the ceremony the couple went~ to their home at Aloolu. Dr. J. MI. Fladger of Spartanburg, formerly of Summerton, has been in M~anning several days, prospecting with a view to moving to Manning.. The climate at Spartanburg is unsuited to Dr. Fladger, and he wants to get back to the county, where he has many friends. That M1anning needs fire protection everybody admits, and we wish the town council would devise a means to secure this sadly needed thing. It is useless to suggest what can be done. those who control our finances are in position to act, and they should do something. On the night of the 10th inst., near Tiudals Mill1 Cicero Harvin went home in an ugly humor, and got into an .al tercation with his wife who shot him, and he lingered until last Friday when he died from the effects of his wound. We are told the woman did the shooting in self defence. M1r. V. A.

In our last issue, by an oversight we neglected to mention Hirschmann's opening on the 7th, and 8th. inst. .His store was beautifully arranged, with ta magnificent display of dress goods, trimmings and other attractions tc please' the eye. and the millinery de partment which is in charge of MIrs. Hirschmann, w'as indeed a thing of beauty. There weire hats galore, and from 'the exclamations of the ladies who are judges of these things wve are satistied that Mrs. Hirschmann's dis play of the fashions was plasing. The Hlirschmann's are Very\ proud of their millinery department. and spare no expense to make it first class in every particular. They keel) fully abreast of the fashions by going in person to the fashionable centres to study the styles <a~ (*tlcr. FIRE! About $50,000 Destroyed. lanning has again been visited by tire. and in our helpless condition there was nothing to do but let the fire har its way. On last Thursday morning at 4:20, Policemen Huggins and Thames discovered a flame of fire shooting out from the skylight on the top of Jenkiu son's department stores. an immediate alarm was sounded, and the people re sponded. The writer reached the scene at 4:55. and flames were then shooting high out of the skylight, but no tire could be seen on the lower floor, which convinces us that the tire origi nated in the gallery of the store. There is absolutely no way of ascertaining how the fire origiuated except that it was purely accidental. as no fire had been left in the store. not even the electric 1:ghts were on, they having been extinguished over two hours be fore. By the hardest kind of work a part of the new two story portion was saved, and much of the credit for this is at tributed to the herculean efforts of Messrs. F. P. Ervin and J. B. Preavitt. These men worked like Trojans at a very great risk to themselves and kept the flames from -spreading. The work of saving stock was confined to the fur niture and millinery departments, and nothing was saved fr6m the other por tions of the stores. At one time it was thought the Manning Grocery could be savea, but the hope was fruitless. This store caught in the rear and was con sumed with the other including the en tire stock, and from a falling wall the drug store of Mr. I. M. Loryea was se verely damaged. and its contents were also damaged from rain which fell the next night. Mr. Jenkinson at the time of the fire was in Sumter at the bedside of his dy ing wife. Fortunately there was no wind. which aided materially in keep ing the fire confined. Had there been any wind the conflagration %ould hay been murh greater. with a strong pro bability of the entire block being de stroyed. Mr. Jenkinson carried a stock of about $40.000 which was insured for $22,500. His loss outside of what was saved will far exceed his insurance. The Buildings belonged to Rev. S. A. Nettles who carried insurance on all of the buildings amounting to $,,000. The Manning Grocery was insured for :53600 and the stock amounted to about $8000. Both Mr. Jenkinson and the Manning Grocery are very heavy loser's, and Mr. Nettles' loss will amount to about $2000. The Loryea drug store's loss is covered uy insurance. When the grocery caught the danger of the fire's spreading was so imminent that B. A. Johnson had his stock re moved to the court house square, and by this removal considerable damage was done to the stock which is also cov ered by insurance. This corner has been burnt several times, and this is the second fire for Jenkinson, the first fire originated in the adjoining building, and each time nothing could be done to save the property, on account of a lack of means to fight the fire. This fire is an extremely sad one to Mr. Jenkinson. He had builded high hopes upon having one of the finest mercantile establish ments in this part of the State, and had just completed a magnificent depart ment store, a credit to his ambition,and to the town, and while his heart and mind was being severely tried by afflic tion, looking every moment for the last breath of his loved one, the chastening rod was applied to his affliction to add :ore and more to his distress, but not ithstanding his trying ordeal, enough to crush the spirit of any ordinary man Tenkinson bows to the will of God and has again buckled on the armor of ener y an~d will, as soon as possible get back into business, using what remains of his buildings with a stock of goods already ordered for immediate shipment to sup ly the demands of his immense patron ge. The Manning Grocery v~ill also, as soon as they can perfect arrange ments get back into business and in about two weeks they will be ready to serve their trade. Last M1onday morning the insurance adjusters were here and adjusted the losses. When Jenkinson's safe was opened it was gratifying to find his books and papers intact. Rev. S. A. Nettles will begin at once to rebuild, nd he will have the work pushed as :apidly as possible. An Angel in Heaven. Died in Sumter last Thursday after noo. at Dr. Mood's Infirmary, M~rs. Daisy Jenkinson, wife of M~r. XV. E. Jenkinson, aged about 34 years. The body was brought to Manding Thurs aevening, and every merchant and le'rk in the town was at the depot to reet it. The funeral took place Fri day morning at the MIethodist church of hich she was a member: all bus iness houses were closed, and we have never witnessed a more impres sive funeral. Rev. S. A. Nettles, the bosom friend of the deceased and her husband, conduc'ted the service. The church was full of sincerely sorrowimg friends and the mninister's remarks were so deeply touching that there were tears in the eyes of the eutire congre gati:2. The deceased wvas one of his tavoitC scholars when he taught schocl in M~anning and his references to her exalted character as a child, a voung woman, wife and mother came from deep down in his heart, and, al though he struggled against emotion, it was plainly visible that his feelings were ahmost'uncontrollable. After the church service the body was followed to the grave by a large crowd, in fact, it was one of the largest funeral pro cessions we have ever witnessed in 3anning, and at the cemetery the Ichoir san several selections which were very effecting. The grave was a bank of beautiful flowers, sent to the family by sorrowing friends who felt it a holy prtivilege to place these tributes of love upon the grave of one who was universally beloyed. It was thie writer's privilege to have known the deceased from her early Ichildhood, and we can say with a sin cere heart that in all of our acquaint ances we have never seen a more lovely Icharacter.a moire charming disposition, a life of sunshine to all with whom she came in contact. Daisy Bagnal as a girl, and young womau.was an example to all girls. As a wife she was indeed a helpmeer to her husband. and vir tually a partner in his business, always taking a lively interest in his alTairs, she was his counseller and advisor, and so intelligent an interest did she take, that if it bad been God's will to take ffiom her Mr. .Jenkinson, she could have taken the business in hand at once and onducted it safely. For a number of years she was a sufferer, but she horec it with cheerful ti-ust in her M1aker. A s a mother she was all that devotion ould make of humanity. and in leav ing sweet little MIartha behind, she leaves for her a legacy of love, forti tude and char-acter. M1rs. Jenkinson wvas a noble woman, devoted to her husband and child. and constant to her a.ents and sister-s. As a neighbor and fr-iend she was a hope and pleasure, and her departure front ear-th not only reates a void in the aching hearts of he- loving family, but countless fm-iends are also deeply saddened by the dis p ensaon. M-s. Jenkinson knew that her life was I feeting fast, and she wvas thoroughly pep~aredl to cross the river. We believe that such a life when it fitted from this sphere enter-ed into an house not made with hands. eter-nal in the heavens.'' and that all the sor rowing ci-cumrstances surrounding het taking away was the accomplishment of God's -gill, which is a solace and a omfort to the dear- fiends left be hind to follow. IThere is no longer any question about the possibility of dividing an atom. The lepublican pairty of Louisiana has been A party consisting of Messrs Sinkler DuBose. and W. J. Bryant were in Santee swamp on last Friday, search ing for a yaul boat, and while opposite Mulberry lake. they discovered a wrecked steamer in Santee river. The vesse: was all under water except the two ;mokestacks and the cabin, but the name "Louisa. Georgetown, S. C.." was visable on the bow and stern. The steamer was deserted, not a living soul was upon her, nor anywhere in the sound of Mr. DuBose's voice. Upon in vestigationthe hill on the opposite side of the river showed signs of where a a camping party had been. and where they had left cooking utensilscanvasses and oil cloths. The crew had evidently spent the night on the hill. and then took the steamer's yaul and pulled out for Santee bridge, where they probably took the train for Georgetown. Mr. DuBose is very much interested in this unusual occurrance, and is watching the vessel in order to protect the prop erty until the owners come along to claim it. The vessel is now lying oppo site the lands belonging to DuBose and the Santee Cypress Lumber Co. In our opinion the discoverers of this wreck will be entitled to salvagebut whoever the owners are. we have no doubt that they will pay Mr. DuBose for finding and taking care of this valuable prop erty. WISE AND OTHERWISE. Remorse is niemory that has fer mented. Most men mistake a little applause for an encore. Too many fertile imaginations pro duce nothing but weeds. The worst fault of some people is tel ing other people theirs. If a man is inclined to be foolish a silk hat won't save him. A thing of beauty is a joy until the neighbors get on to the cost. Nothing is easier to hear than the troubles of your neighbors. Lots of men who rob Peter to pay Paul manage to stand Paul ogf. The nearer you get to the butt end of revenge the sweeter it isn't. Many a man salts away money in the brine of other people's tears. No man has any rights that his wife's relations are bound to respect. A stiff upper lip is a good thing in connection with a rigid under jaw. Many a man's good reputitaon is due to what isn't found out about him. Apparel oft proclaims the man, but usually the woman claims the apparel. A woman thinks there is only one man in the world whose wife is alto gether perfect. The average man loves work so much that it makes him weary to see other men idle. Let the man who would reform the world begin on his neighbors and he will soon see his finish. When the world owes a man a living it invariably settles the debt on the in stallment plan. At the age of 21 a man knows a lot more about women than lie ever will at ny subsequent stage of his career. Some men join clubs because they have scolding wives and some have scolding wives because they join clubs. President Castro is putting in a bid for another international naval review in Venezuelan waters. In a pinch, the Turk might turn :ver to us a few of those battleships that the Cramps are building for him. The Turkish MJinister has made it plain that no American missionary who has kept out of the Balkans has been harmed there. Proprietors of two summer resorts in Maine have been arrested for coun terfeiting. They had no way of making money. The Colombians have a wonderful loalty for their constitution, so long assuc'h a course promises to pay better than a revolution. The Sultan does not seem to be prop erly appreciative of the international naal display arranged in his honor. ~e apparently prefers a quiet life.

The Men and Women Who Carry Chips on Their SholderM. The really unhappy man whose un happiness is his own fault is the one who is forever carrying "a chip upon his shoulder." Perhaps his happiness is his unhappiness, for when he is not engaged in a personal altercation he is brooding over some fancied slight and awaiting a favorable opportunity to give vent to his wrath. The man with the chip on his shoul der is easily recognized, and his society by wise people is carefully avoided. He can go nowhere without trouble follow ing in his wake. If he attends a the ater he is either annoyed by the usher or some one in the audience or at the man in the box office for not having sold him a seat bought long before he appeared at the window. He is the bane of the car conductor, and on the railroad train he succeeds in embroiling himself in a row with the brakeman, conductor, Pullman car porter and the passengers. Each flying cinder from the locomotive is aimed especially at his eyes, and he succeeds in stirring up the spirit of mutiny in the hearts of the travelers. There are some women similarly con stituted. who manage to be in trouble from the moment their eyes open in the morning till they close them in sleep. These people are Indeed to be pitied, if indeed they are not cordially hated. This qnarrelsome habit of mind can be so fostered that the petulancy grows to be a malignant disease and leads sometimes to the insane asylum. Parents who notice in their children this fretful, quarreling disposition can easily find a remedy. They may not agree to the measure-simply a good, sound thrashing. Every one has heard of the story of the child who was con tinually whimpering and quarreling. In despair the mother cried: "Are you sick? What do you want?" Gravely the child answered. "I think, mamma, I wnt a whipping." She received the whipping, and there was a marked im provement in her temper.-San Fran cisco Post. PICKINGS FROM FICTION. What is genius?
