It is amusing to watch the ac tion of some people, those who get extremely tickled whenever Senator Tillman gathers up his pitchfork and throws mud in somebody else's back-yard-a common past time with him when the galleries are full. There is no man in theUnitedStates more skillful in the art of hurling dam aging insinuations than Tillman, for instance, not long ago he in sinuated that Col. John Bell To will, formerly an ardent young men's christian association man, and church officer, later a mem ber of the State board of dispen sary directors, was bribed with a blooded horse, given to him by a whiskey man,this pleased Till man's friends very much, and without any further evidence, they were willing to convict To will on Tillman's insinuation alone, but when J. Fraser Lyon, in reply to one of Tillman's char acteristic insinuations about the dispensary investigation, gave it out that the committee was in vestigating a rumor to the effect that a whiskey house presented Tillman with a piano, also they were investigating the matter of rebates which are not satisfac torily accounted for; it is not at all pleasing, and Lyon is being anath-ematized by Tillman's friends. It is all right for Till man to insinuate wrong-doing against others,but he shall be ex empt from such, regardless of strong circumstantial evidence. Lyon astrong advocate of the dis pensary and a supporter of Till man is on the committee to inves tisrate the dispensary. He does not seem to think his duties are confined to every man who had anything to do with the dispen sary, except Tillman, but he has taken it into his head that he must also investigate Tillman's part in the transaction. A rumor reaches him that a whiskey house presented Tillman with a piano. Lyon tells Tillman he is investigating this rumor. Till man refers him to a piano dealer and that piano dealer says that Tillman bought a piano from him before the dispensary started. This may be the same piano that rumorfalsely charged, and it is the same piano, unless another piano can be discovered. If it is the same piano an alibi has been established, but Lyon also said that his committee is investigating the rebate matter, to ascertain if Tillman's public utterances, and sworn testimony is borne out by the facts. Till man said he permitted the re bates to remain with the whis key trust, and Lyon's committee is trying to find out, if this ,is true, and if true, the authority for giving away so much of the people's money. According to some of Tillman's followers Lyon is a traitor, be cause he was a Tillmanite, and does not stick to Tillman right or wrong. If Lyon should find that Tillman did give away the rebates as he claims he did~what is to become of the matter if he had no authority to make this gift? Should he find that Till mnan did not give away these re bates amounting to not less than $150,000, but the whiskey trust paid them to those in charge of the administration at the time, what is to become of the matter then? Will Tillman's friends who will hear no argument against him, want to crucify Ly on for unearthing the evidence? Tillman did not take long to show up a piano transaction, but years have, passed since he and Traxler went on that liquor buy ing expedlition to the West, and still no satisfactory answer comes to the question "Who got the re bates?" Lyon may bring back the answer,but it is not with the consent of a great many of Till man's friends, they do not want him investigated. -He is sacred, investigate all but Tillman. The King can do no wrong. CAPT. JNO. G. CAPERS PRACTICING LAW. Spartanburg friends of Capt. J. G. Capers, formerly United States district attorney, will be interested in knowing that he has definitely located in Green ville, his old home, for the gen eral Ipractice of law. Captain Capers has already been engaged for the defense in several imoor tant cases before the U. S. court in which as district Atty. he used to prosecute so vigorously. His whole time is now devoted to his practice. Captain Capers has had wide experience, es pecially in the department of justice at Washington and in the federal courts, and being a man of exceptional ability and en ergy, his friends predict great success for him in the practice of his profession.-Spartanburg Journal. A long engagement is always an ad vantage, because it shortens the wed Snmmerton New , Editor The Manning Times: The proposed newspaper enterprise for Summerton has not yet material ized. A good paper at this point is much needed, and will be here before long. Sufficient money has been prom ised to build the cotton warehouse, and it is expected that work on it will be gin at an early. date. The Strauss-Rogan Co.. are going to install a modern ginnery with a capac ity of one hundred bales a day. Several architects of distinction have been seen in Summerton lately. It looks from this and other indications that there will be "something doing" here soon in the way of large and costly buildings. Formerly the advent of a single stranger was something of an event. Now a dozen new faces on the streets cause little or no comment. What does this mean? A good many building sites have been put on the market lately by The Summerton Real Estate Agency, these are being sold pretty fast. SQIB. ANOTHER LETTER. Last Friday evening the young folks had an Easter egg hunt. The fee was ten cents, the proceeds for foreign mis sions, and prizes were awarded. Miss Ethel Brunson won first prize and Miss May Wells second. Mr. S. Leland Brunson left last week to take a one year course at the Or angeburg Collegiate Institute. Miss Anna Burgess of Stateburg re turned home this morning after a pleasant visit to the family of Dr. D. 0. Rhame. The boys of the town raised a hand some sum of money by public subscrip tion to equip a base ball project here. Our graded school team will play the Sumter school on the 27th, in Sumter. The Episcopal Sunday school invited the Presbyterian and Baptist schools to join them in an Easter egg hunt at the rectory this afternoon. The surveyors for the alcolu Railway Company made their second trip through this town today, prospecting for a proper route over which to ex tend their railway through this town to the Santee River. The coming of another railway here will mean much for the prosperity of this section, for the simple reason that business inter ests at this point at the present time are at the mercy fo the Northwestern railroad and besides we understand the proposed line will enable the people of this community to secure water rates to Charleston in addition to furnishing an outlet to a competing railroad, namely, Seaboard Air Line. We note that the News and Courier has taken fright at the announcment by this correspondent that Mr. J. J. Cantey will become a candidate for Congress from the first district during the present summer. There is no need for this state of mind on the part of the Courier because when Mr. Cantey is elected the interests of Charleston will be cared for in an able manner. The Courier seems to make much of the fact that Mr. Legare has the "ear of the president;" we never heard of Mr. Roosevelt doing anything for Charles ton or the State except the appoint ment of Dr. Crum. H. ANOTHER LETTER. We had a meeting of the Summertoni Southern Cotton, association in the Academy on the 'Ith of this month. Mr. R. R. Smyth, chairman of the ware house committee reported that the warehouse for this place is a cer tainty. One hundred and eight shares taken. Only a few more to be taken and then we will be ready to begin work. The outlook is very encourag ig. Our association has added a very interesting feature. We will take up the discussion of the different crops, corn, cotton, etc., to be discussed in turn by members, appointed to open the discussion and then have the sub ject thrown open before the meeting so that any one can ask questions or express their views. We certainly think this teature wili add new life to the association, and prove very bene ficial to the members. We think if all clubs would add something to their programs to give life, we would find it easier to get a full attendance on the meetings. Against his protest the association appointed the president, J. D. Rutledge to open the discussion and gave him 'th corn crop as his subject. We hope all the members will attend the meet ing on the first Saturday in May to hear Mr. Rutledge's views on how to make corn at a profit. E. B3. FELDER.

New Zion Dots. Editor The Manning Times A picnic at the school house was given last Saturday in honor of Miss Annie Chandler, the teacher. Ma-yes ville, Turbeville, and Sardinia was well represented. Dinner was accounced about 1 o'clock and the table fairly groaned with the delicious dainties and solids prepared by the good ladies of this place. After a few days stay with friends, Miss Chandler will return to her home at Bethlehem. Miss Marion Hicks has returned home from her visit to Manning. Her report of the bazaar was as great as the Times pictured Misses Addie Gaskins and Maude Gregory, two of our popular young ]a dies,have returned home from Orange burg. Mr. Editor,I agree with you that every voter should attend his club meeting on the 28th to assist in the election of delegates to the county convention. The convention should be filled with men who are not mere politicians seek ing office or personal advancement, but our best citizenship should be there. It is to be hoped that when the conven tion assembles the sentiment against factionalism will be so strong that those who would want to draw faction al lines will not have the termerity to do so. Let the convention discuss the various issues if there are-any,the only one I know is the whiskey, even this can be discussed without heat and with out making it the sole consideration. It is the dir y of citizens to take a live interest in our public affairs, but if they do not turn out to the initial meet ing of their clubs they miss having a voice in the party organization which is very important. I regret very much that more from this section did not aLtend the meeting in Manning Saturday. The :speech of Mr Smith was certainly a good one. If we had Smith in Washington, he and Bailey of Texas would teach the senate what real oratory is. B.

Turbe ville, spared no pains in seeing that everything was carried out in order. There was a good attendance of the members as well as some visitors, in cluding several ladies. Mr. W. E. Lea of Timmonsville was present and made a goad talk to the members. Among the 'visitors pre sen t were Messrs Wheeler and McFadden of Sardinia and Mr. McElveen of Goodwill.

It seems as if the thrit~ing little city of Sardinia is not recognized a one of the metropolis of Clarendon County, so I will call attention to some of the hap penings in these parts. The young people of this place are now ready to be introduced at all pic nics for ten miles around. They have the reputation of enjoying chicken and rice with pretty girls as a side line. The boys have been cooped up all win ter and fed on green oats and hard boiled eggs, until they are hungry for a change of diet, though it seems to agree with Bill and Mood 0. K. Mrs. W. T. Rose has moved to Sum ter where she .will make her home. She is very much missed in this community. Earnest and Vida will do business at the old stand. The young men of this community have organized a debating society which bids fair to be a great help to the community. They have a few im portant subjects for discussion and it will be a treat to hear the silvery-toned orators of Sardinia propound the ques tions of the day. So Mr. Editor, if you have any questions that you would like to have discussed eminently (?) you can submit it to the querry committee. The site for the new parsonage has selected and the contract is now open to the lowest bidder. It will be built on Parson Avenue that leads from Main street to "Factory Hill." Some our young sportsmen have bought clay pigeon traps and have or anized a gun club. We have some of the best shots in the country, and with a little more practice they will chal lenge anything in the State. Mr. J. M. Player is now in the Baker infirmary in Sumter where he is being treated. He has been in bad health for some time, we wvishi him speedy re covery. - Two of our boys (Cap and Moss) have our sincere sympathy. They had their hopes jacked up to such a high patch and now at the last go-round thie pretty school teachers have scunted them. Cheer up boys you will never do any thing foi- your country- if you depend on school teachers for your bettor half. We have some very promising young widowers in these parts and .if you young boys should ergss their paths. ebe unto you. ,-D. $15.95 to New Orleaug" and Return, via At lantic Coast Line.

Hogan Convicted and Ias High balled. The work of the court of general ses sions has about been concluded; there are some motions to be made this after noon and a few appeals from Magis trate's courts will be taken up: the court will then adjourn sine die. The court of Common pleas will convene on Monday. The morning hour today was con sumed in the trial of Eugene Hogan, Jr., for an assault and battery with in tent to kill and for carrying a conceal ed weapon. Mr. Jennings, for the State, made his argument in the case -yesterday afternoon. H. D. Moise, Esq . for the defense, opened the argu ment this morning and was followed by Maj. Marion Moise, also counsel for the defense. .The defendant was most ably represented. The addresses of his attorneys were masterpieces of elo quence and oratory, but, alas. they were badly hampered by their clients lack of legal defense. Solictor Wilson's clear and forcible argument drove to the minds of the jurors conviction with every word. Nothing escaped them, they lent forward in their chairs. and were held in rapt attention as if by a mystic spell. Their faces reflected the verdict before they retired from the court room. Judge Ernest Gary charg ed the jury in his characteristic clear and forcible manner, an& turned over to them the record on which to write their verdict. In less than ten minutes an agree ment had been reacned, and the jurors filed back to the court room and took their places in the jury box. Th.M de fendant had left the court house. The verdict was read by Clerk Par rott: "Guilty on both counts." "W. C. Broughton. Foreman.* Hogan's attorneys gave notice of ap peal The defendant was called for to be sentenced, but Maj. Marion Moise, counsel for the defendant., stated to Judge Gary that his client had gone to dinner and would return immediately upon the convening of the court in the afternoon. The Judge refrained from issuing a bench warrant on this assur ance of counsel. When the defendant was called at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon he failed to appear. Major Moise stated that his client's father was in court and desired time to find his son: he therefore mov ed that sentence be suspended until later in the criminal session. Judge Gary stated that had it not been for his great deference and re spect for coansel that he would have issued the hench warrant before recess was taken. He refused the motion, saying that he would leave a sealed sentence with the clerk and immediate ly instructed the solicitor to prepare a bench warrant. This will go hard with Hogan.-Sumter Item, April 14. A FORMER MANNIVG GIRL MARRIES. Weading in Dillon. Dillon, April 14.-Special: The most brilliant social event of the spring sea son was the marriage Wednesday even ing, April 11, of Miss Sallie Virginia Ingram.to Dr. John H. Hamer. Never did the Methodist Church look more beautiful than it did on this occasion,with its wealth of evergreenqs, palms, lilies and bride's roses. A t 8 o'clock Lohengrin's bridal march, played by Mrs. Julia Peterkin, an aunt of the bride, announced the coming of the bridal party, which was led by the four ushers,Messrs Edwards, McLaurin, Liles and Alston, who took their place on either side of an immense arch of bride's roses and electric lights. These were immediately followed by the maid of honor, Miss Kate Ingram, the sister of the bride. She wore an exquisite empire gown of point d'esprit,over blue silk,' a white and blue picture hat, and carried an armful of white carnations and ferns. Next came the beautiful bride on the arm of her father, Mr. Isaac C. In gram, who led her to the altar, where they were met by the groom and his best man, Mr. Douglas Manning, of Latta, S. C. Under a lovely horseshoe of bride's roses, and to the murmur of soft music, the Rev. J. D. Crout per formed the beautiful ring ceremony, which joined the lives of these two popular young people. The bride wore a handsome going away gown of steel grey tatieta, with trimmings of baby Irish lace, and car ried a shower bouquet of bride's roses. Mrs. Hamer, as Miss Sallie Ingram, was one of Dillon's most beautiful and popular youngr ladies, and her friends rejoice that this town will remain her home. Dr. John H. Hamer is a rising young dentist,and has many friends in Dillon. D. and Mrs. Hamer le ft on the 9 o'clock train for Washington, D. C., and will be upon their return, at home to their friends in their pretty new home on Harrison street. Among the out-of-town guests were: Mrs. Julia Peterkin. Fort Motte; Miss Pet Wilson, Manning: Miss Janie Purdy, Sumter: Miss Mary In gram, Columbia; Mr. and Mrs. Neill Berry, Sellers; Messrs L. A. Manning. Douglas Manning and B. F.

Italians ve:e the great dealers in it and often soti disguimsd subtle poisons in their pe:'fi.me::. Catherine de' Mcdi ci, like inny of her ancestors, gained ber private and public ends through poisonous perfumes. Cardinal Riche !lieu first saw what a business could be created by distilling the field and or Ange grove flowers of Provence. Anne of Austria, the wife of Louis XII., could not go a moment without her rcent bottle and liked to have her linen scented. Voltaire spoke of the per fumed bath as the luxury of luxuries. The sunny hills of the Var became a mine of wealth and remain so to this day, for the scent distilled from flow ers has a subtle delicacy which still gives it the primacy. The Empress Josephine gave another great stimulus to the sceni industry. She constantly held before her mouth dainty lace bor dered lawn pocket handkerchiefs, on which she had sprinkled some delicious perfume.-London News. Binmarek and the Ambassador. One day the Austrian ambassador to the federal diet, Count Rechberg, received a dispatch instructing him to vote with Prussia'for a certain impor tant measure, accompanied with a con fidential letter directing him to induce the representatives of the other Ger man states to vote against the measure and thus defeat It. In his haste he handed the wrong paper to Bismarck. who read and returned it, with the re mark: "There must be some mistake here." Rechberg saw his blunder and grew pale and excited. "Don't be disturbed," said Bismarck. "You did not intend to give me this document, and there fore you have not given it to me, and I am wholly !gnorant of its contents." In fact, he made no mention of it in his official reports and thus won Rech berg's gratitude, besides having h!m henceforth "on the hip." Minerals In Food. Minerals in our food form an impor tant ingredient as regards our nutr tion. They seem to assist the digestion of our foods and are needed to complete the composition of many fluids of the body. Thus the salt in tears is poetic and proverbial both, and salt Is also necessary for the perfection of the ga. tric Juice of the stomach. The phos phate of lime (in which oatmeal, by the way, is rich) is needed for building bones, and there is not a fluid of the body, from the blood to the saliva, for which certain minerals are not neces sary. Too much mineral matter, taken, for example, in overhard water, is in jurious. Therefore all hard water should be softened before use. Such wa ter produces constipation and dyspepsia and is apt to cause kidney troubles.
