A white man in Bennettsville a few days ago shot his wife while she was sitting up in bed, and then cut some five or six gashes in her throat, and when arrested he claimed the killing .was accidental." If this man be longs to an influential family we would suggest that he ask for a change of venue and have his case tried in Lexington; it will be dangerous to him to be tried in Marlboro, as that hard-headed Scotch element will not be easily persuaded to accept the "acci dent" theory, but if he can get his case tried in Lexington and can get some one who was a stranger to his wife to swear the first time she saw him she con fided to him a threat that "if her husband ever batted his eyes at her she would fill him with more lead than he can tote off," he then can change his plea to "self-defense," and the judge might charge the jury, "when the wife was sitting up in her bed she looked at her husband, and from that look they believed he thought himself in danger of losing his life, or of reciving great bodily injury, it would be self-defense." The jury, how ever, must believe beyond a rea sonable doibt the man who fired the shot and used the knife be lieved himself i danger, and to h~ el h aping their be e they have the right to take into consideration the curtain lectures the wife gave her hus band six months before the kill ing. The jury must also give weight to the uncontradicted statement of the man's claim the killing was an "accident," be cause there were no eye wit nesses, the only evidence being the dead wife, the gun-shot wound,and the sever-al gashes in her throat. The unfortunate creature will fare badly in Marl boro, and our sympathy for a man who has such a fearful "ac cident" to befall him, makes us suggest a change of venue to Lexington. Now is the time for the farm ers to begin to experiment to get the results of organization. They should at their club meet ings appoint some member to correspond with fertilizer con cerns to ascertain how much money they can save by buying in bulk. The purpose of the organization is not alone to fight the trusts, it is also to secure the advantage of buying in large quantities and thereby save money. The press throughouit the Un ion is devoting much space lec turing South Carolina about law lessness, and it is but true to con fess our failure to have our laws evenly executed, but at the same time, South Carolina is not the only State where the law is not enforced. The very newspapers that are lecturing South Carolina will find a good field for their missionary work at home. If they will sweep before their own doors, they will do well. We ebelieve the method of . drawig juries in this State is a humbug, and t h e legislature should so amend the jury law that packed juries would be im probable. The name of every qualified citizen should be placed in- the box, before every court, and the jurors drawn publicly. Under our present system there is great room for favorites of offi cials being drawn, but if the en tire citizenship of the county was placed in the box for every court, and the drawing was made pub lic; the chances are that many good citizens who escape jury duty, would be drawn. Some thing must be done, or our courts will become disruptable, and law will be overridden by anarchy, the reason why justice fails in the* South oftener than at the North may be attributed to the fact that in the South the popu lation is all one family, everybo dv is connected by blood or mar riage in some way or another, and at the North the population* as represented by all of the na .ions of the earth~and everybody is a stranger. If a man commits a crime in any county in South .Cai-olina, -that man would be poor indeed if half of the county was not related to him in some way, and blood being thicker than water, and popularity oftenj more to be sought than ccon science, law fails in its operation and justice is defeated. At the North and West it is different, the people not being bound by any ties-of the relationship can, and do try cases upon theli- mer its, with a view that in uphold ing the law, justice is dealt out evenly to all classes. We hope the same condition will exist in The Republicans met their Waterloo yesterday in Greater New York, and the Democrats found theirs in Ohio. We did not attend the State Fair but those who did speak of it as being :he best yet had. The attendance was good, and the exhibits fine. The 6ity authori ties did excellent work in keep ing down gambling and tigerism, and no little credit should be given to the Columbia papers for agitating the enforcement of the laws against this evil. Coluifbia was freer from the gambling en. ticements this fair than ever be fore, which means that thous ands of dollars were saved to an element who would have been caught in the meshes of the nim ble-fingered gentry. Yet, be cause the Columbia newspapers demanded of the police a strict enforcement of the laws, there was an element who cried out, and denounced the newspapers, claiming their editorials would hurt business by keeping people away from the fair. If any peo ple were kept away by the de mands of the newspapers it was a class whose nefarious business the papers were fighting-gam blers and strumpets. $100 Reward, $100.

The Santee Baptist Association is :omposed of Baptist churches situated in Clarendon and Sumter, with possibly :ne or two in Kershaw county. It was :rganized about 25 years ago, most of he churches comprising it coming out rom the old Charleston Baptist Asso :iation. As we understand it, a Bap ist Association is a deliberative mis ionary aid educational body, but has ao law-making function, inasmuch as each individual Baptist church is an indepedent body, and is "a law unto tself." Until two years ago, the Santee As ociation was said to be a peaceful and progressive body, noted for its harmo a and fraternity of spirit. About that me, for reasons not assigned, objec ions were made to the clerk of the Association, and from that time, as oc :asion permitted, the warfare has been .ept up against this gentleman, who is pastor of the First Baptist church in Sumter. We learn that one of the astors, well known to the readers of his paper, actuated by motives not the best or under the influence of counsel ors not the wisest, made a still-hunt imong the churches in upper Claren ion and lower Sumter, seeking to suborn men who would vote against the present clerk at the Summerton meet ing. The canvass was duly made, but when the ballot was counted, it was ound "that the churches had deposed the methods of the still-hunter, and Dr. Brown was re-elected to his office. Last rall the Association met in Sumter with the First church, and Mr. Alderman presented Rev. Gresham as his cand i late for the clerkship, but he was snowed under, and the present incum bent was retained in office. For some weeks here in Manning, the main talk has centered around the same matter, and it was supposed that surely the still-hunter and his friends would triumph here on their own heath. Mr. Gresham lay patiently on the hands of his trainer for the race, and seemed merely to be the willing tool of a boss. 'Great speed on the race was prophesied for him: but it seems that out of 83 votes, he could command only about 30, and again he was re-stabled for better training under the prophecy and promise of the Manning pastor who says the conflict shall be continued at another time. What the whole thing means, we do not know, unless it be some petty spite or black-faced malice natural to the average human heart. No charges of incompetency, unfaith fulness and unfitness have been charged against the present olerk, except that of a general and undefined "bossism," and the supposition is that this charge may be true in some way, and some one else, uufit for bossing, is desirous of filling the high office. When the petty spites and the bitterness of politics are injected into the methods of a religious order, it seems to us it is time for the trulreligious people to hang their heals in shame. That this is the case in the Santee Baptist Association. no sensible and open-eyed man will deny. The attendance of delegates on the frst day was quite large, as all the in terest centered around the election of lerk. That function being over with, the attendance dwindled away, and the house has not su~fered with an over'fiow of people. We would suggest, for the sake of peace, that the kickers acknowl edge the Democratic prmnciples which characterize the Baptists, and either yield to the majority vote, or withdraw and join another Association. All the Baptist ministers in the As sociatior. have been present, except one or two. Mr. Jas. E. Tindal has made a fair and impartial moderator, and comn -nands ther repect of all the delegates. The preaching has been of an excellent order, and the delegates have made themselves agreeable guests in the homes of the people. Dr. Bailey of Greenville, represent ing State Miissions; Maj. J. W. Gaines, representing the 'Welsh Neck High School and Rev. V. I. Masters, repre senting the Baptist Courier, were in attendance upon the meeting. The speech of Mr. Masters concerning the laing aside of ministers by the ch'urches at too early an age was re ceised and is spoken of as one of the best speeches of the meeting. Rev. J. D. Huggins was on his feet several times, and always had some thing to say. His manner is earnest and fervid:Ind his reasoning forceful. He is the pastor of four large churches, two in Clarendon and two in Sumter, and is well thought of over the whole State among the Baptists. R~ev. M. A. Connors, pastor of Sum merton and Fellowship and Calvary churches is a gentleman of pleasing personal presence, and was elected chairman of the committee on moneys and accounts. He has a handsome face and is one of the fast developing preachers among the Baptists. ATTENDANT. A Remarkable Case. One of the most remarkable cases of a cold. deep-seated on the lungs, caus ing pneumonia,is that of Mrs. Gertrude E. Fenner, Marion, Ind., who was en tirely cured by the use of One Mlinute Cough Cure. She says: "The coughing and straining so weakened me that I ran down in weight from l48 to !2 pounds. I trie~d a muniber~ of remipes to no avail until I used One Mirnut. Cough Cure. Four bottles of this wonm derful remedy cured mec entirely of the ough. strengthened my lungs and r' stoi-ed me to my normal weight. health and strength." Sold by The R~. B. Lor ye rug Stre. Turbeville Dots. Editor The Manning Times: The friends of Mr. D. L. Green are glad to know that he is slowly improv ing after a very severe attack of fever. The following attended the State fair in Columbia: J. F. Cole, D. E. Cole, E. A. Green, J. L. Green, J. A. Green, D. E. Greene, D. E. Turbeville and Mrs. Rachel Wilson. They all report a nice trip, and say the fair was the best they have ever attended. Some of the "fair ones" in Columbia evidently captivated the young men of the crowd, as some of them spent the entire week. "Dannie" savs, "The fair was good. the carnival better, and the 'fair ones' the best of all." We are not surprise at Dannie a. he has always been known to have a special fondness for girls. The students of the High School de partment of our school have organized a literary society which they have named in honor of our Southern poet, Lanier. They have adopted royal pur ple and old gold for the colors. The following officers were elected: Fred Morris, president: Eugene Smith, vice president: Fannie Greene, secretary: Clarissa Whitaker, treasurer; Itasca Turbeville, 1st critic: George Greene, 2nd critic. The society will meet every Friday afternoon. The exercises will consist of recitations, declamations, es says and debates. The query for the next meeting is, "Resolved, That a man who can't read should not be per mitted to vote. On Saturday evening, Oct. 31, Misses Harman and Nabors gave a Halloween party at the home of Mr. .Tehu Smith. The first part of the evening was spent in fortune telling by the witui.es; next came games, after which refreshments were served. After this Miss Harman entertained the party with both instru mental and vocal music which was highly enjoyed by all present. At 11 o'clock the party broke up and we all went home feeling that we had spent a very pleasant and enjoyable evening and wishing that Halloween's night would soon come again. A. T. HELMS.

Editor The Manning Times: It was our pleasure a few Sunday's since to listen to a strong, forceful and spiritual sermon, delivered in Pine wood Methodist church, by the Rev. N. J. Brown, who has been preaching for us for more than fifty years. He has been a true and faithful worker in the Masters vineyard, trying to lead others into the light of spiritual salvation, and for this service he never asked any help financially from his congregation, but wrought dlaily with his owvn hands, and preaching on Sunday, and would often walk to his appointments. He is now in his 75th, year, and too aged to work any longer, and nearing the quick sands of time. and according to nature cannot be with us much longer at best, so let us, the readers of this article give something to this faithfe.1 minister of the gospel.
