Among the visitors to MNuIine ist Monday. was Doctor Barnett. A. Elzas. M. D.. L . D., of Charleston. This distingushed divine and man of letters was on a visit to the family of Mr. A. Lo-vea. It i! ahva:w a peaure to have a visit from Doctor E'lzas. He is a delightful c onversationalist, and he never leaves one without food for thought. This eminent gentleman has recently given to literature, a work entitled, The Jews of South Carollua." in whichl he shows from the public re cords,ana other documentary evidence. the very important part pltyed by th1e jews of South Carolina from 1669 up to date. in all t'-e avocatiors of life, trade. agriculture. finance. social. art, liter attire. oratory, military, soldier on land and on sea. A h istory th:at those with .lewish blood coursigU through their veius. however remote. must feel proud of. The book is written in that pleasing, dignitied, clear and incisive style that the individuality of the author is depicted on every page. No library can be complete without this book. We regard it one of the most valuable books that has been written in many years, and it is a monument to the mind and heart of this theologian. historian and scholar. Good looks being happiness. Friends care more for us when we meet them with a clean, smiling face, bright eyes sparkling with health. which comes by taking Hollister's Rocky Mountain Tea Dr. W. E. Brown & Co. A Sunday Disgrace. Early Sunday evening the streets in I the business portion of the town had the appearance of a brewing race riot. I There had been a difficulty between a young white man and a negro. when two friends of the white man accident ally saw it: they rushed to the rescue to'get their friend out of the trouble, and as they were in the act of taking him away they saw, the negro throw a brick at them. and run. They made for him. and one of them struck him. The negro was also seen to have been handed a pistol by a porter in the Cen tral hotel. Policeman Clark happened to be in another portion of the town when the racket started, but as soon as he heard it he at once proceeded to arrest those who were engaged in it. In an almost incredible short space of time after the row. the negroes gath erd from all portionsof the town,among them were some women. and these were especially incendiary in their mouthings. The men assumed such a threatening manner, that at one time it looked as if there would be trouble. Word was quietly snent around town, and preparations wer.e made to preserve the peace. Only a few of the white men showed themselve; on the streets, but on receiving the message they quiely awaited the signal to act. Fortunately trouble was averted, and we think it due to credit Mayor Brad ham. and John Washington, colored,! with keeping down what was about to become a very serious, and deplorable affair, brought on by the inconsiderate conduct of a young white man. Monday evening council had all the principals before them, and fined L. D. Player $10.00,John and George Odiorne i $5.00 each, Junius Boyd, colored. $5.06 and William Nelson. colored, .5.00. The latter was charged with having! handed Junius Boyd a pistol. The Messrs. Odiorne's are very quiet young gentlemen, and from what we ean learn of this disgraceful affair. they had no' other idea, when they went to the res cie of Mr. Dow Player, but to take him away from the negroes and carry him home which they were undertakng to do when it is said Boyd hurled a brick. This was a very regretable affair at best, but its having occured on a Sun day evening when people were prepar ing for church was a shame and a dis grace in a decent community, and that it would have resulted seriously we have not the slightest doubt had not the authorities acted promptly.I Now a word to the negroes of this town. You may as well understand right now, that the white people of Manning do not approve nor endorse unlawful conduct, whether it be breaches of the peace, or other wise, on the part of the whites, but they most positively will not tolerate such con duct on the -part of the negroes as _was demonstrated here last Sunday evening. Whites and blacks have been living' peaceably in this town, but if unfortu nately there is a falling out between a white man and a colored man, and the negroes flock together again in a threatening manner as they did last Sunday evening, those who survive, will only live to regret it. We give this admonition, not to all the negroes of Manning, because there are many who do not approve the con duct of that mouthing gang of men and women. the better element of colored people have the well -wishes and _co operation of the whites, but there is in this town a thriftless, drunken, loafing, razor and pistol-toting set who take advantage of every little incident to show their hatred for the white man, and this set, must understand, that the white people of this town are not asleep but ever on the alert to uphold law and order here, even in doing so they must wipe out of existence those who have no respect for decency and law. A word to the wise is sufficient. The Legislature. .Since our last issue we have very lit tle to report of a local nature, and mighty little of a general natnre ex cept the action of the House in passing the Morgan Local Option bill. A measure very similar to what was known as the "Appelt Bll"~ introduced in 1900. The Clarendon delegation was not solid on the Morgan bill. Green and DesChamps cling to their idol by voting to hold on to the State dispen sary, and Captain Bradhanm voted to kill the State dispensary, and in favor of local option. Representative Hamel of Kershaw, a true-blue Prohibitionist. in order to go on record called for a straight vote on Prohibition, in this vote not one of the Clarendon delega tion voted for Prohibition, Captain Bradham did not vote, and the other two were against. Senator Davis has a bill to authorize the trustees of Summerton school to issue bonds for a school house. There was no session last Monday, on account of salesday, and as most of the. members are lawyers they had to be at their respective court houses on pro fessional business. - , Reresentative Irby of Laurets, who is interested in a little paer, "The Vidette," has introduced A resolution calling for a commission to investigate the State printing. These imvestiga tions are all right ri.thtir way, but we are unalterably-~ohpposed to the per diem feature which gives -nvestigatinlg committees juntetmng trips at the ex pense of the pe&Ple. Senator Davis was among the inter ested spectators at the big land sale Monday. Esrte The Kind You Have Always Bought Notice.

The so ciety was called to order by the vice president. and the minutes, were read by the secretary. The program was greatly reduced from the original, as several were ab sent, and all the music had to be left out on account of not meeting up-stairs. The following program was rendered: Lady Clare-Lillian Tisdale. A selection from Lockley Hall-Liz Zie Williams Lady of Shalott-Bezsie Harvin. Sketch of Tennyson's Life-Hattie Frierson. Debate-Resolved: That Tennyson did more for the benefft of mankind than Washington. A ffirmative. Emmie John son. Negat-ve, Vallye Appelt. The criticL and 'censors had no report to make. A motion w:s made to change the name of our -society from Longfellow Literary Society to Tennyson Literary Society. The motion was carried by an almost unanimous vote. M r. Daniel then made some criticisms which were overlooked by the critics. Three visitors were present. Dr. Todd. Miss Todd. and Mr. Woods. Mr. Woods made some very encour aging remarks to the society. He said, among other things. one thing which we ought especially to remember that though we may think it hard now to write debates, rec-ite, etc., it will be to our advantage when we enter col lege, and then we will realize that all the moments spent in society work were spent well. The president appointed Emmie Johnson and Mavola Walker as a com mittee to select a motto to be submit ted to the society. Mr. Daniel then spoke a few words to us, and the society was adjournd to meet on Friday, Feb ruary 9.1906. BEULAH WILSON, Secretary. peace to His Ashes. If the "uncoguid'' or "rigidly right ous,'' -as Burns loved to call them, ould have witnessed the demonstra ions of grief manifested by almost the ntire population in this town at the ragic death of Mr. J. RI. Hill, and ave heard the earnest expressions of ymathy for the bereaved ones, from early everyone, they might have formed a more acurate opinion of the steem in which he was held by our eople, and his moral and social stand ng in the community. . The exaggerated accounts of his eath and the unfortunate incidents eading up to it would hardly have een seot to the press for publication. Evidently the items which appeared he morning after his body was found ere written by irresponsible parties r those ignorant of the facts as they xisted. The absurd charge of carrying con ealed weapons is too silly to need de ial. Whoever heard of a white man arrying a razor as a weapon? Our dead friend was too polished a entleman to descend to anything so omtemptible. It could only have been sed by him for shaving, and was to e sharpened, or had just been bought. He had his weakness-who has not? But his intemperance was neither a ice nor a crime, but was constitutional.
