After the meet ing the physicians sat down to a lun cheon at the Central Hotel. There was a fearful tragedy in a barber shop in Kershaw last Saturday night, resulting in two men being in stantly killed and a third mortally wounded. The dead are Thomas Cly burn, who was acting as peacemaker between young men who were quar reling, and who is said to be a brother of Prof. Clvburn of the Paxville school, and Steve Welch, manager of the Heath Supply Company. The killing of Clyburn was accidental, and it is thought he was killed by Welsh who was his friend and first cousmn. All of the parties are prominent in business and social circles. Died last Sunday afternoon, after a lingerinz illness, Mr. Simeon M. Youmans aged 37. The funeral took place at Midway church Monday. Rev. A R. Woodson conducted the service. he deceased was reared in the Fork !ction of this county, came to Manning . accept a position with the writer in ie postoffice, later he undertook the .udy of law, and was elected Magis :ate. in which position he served sev -ral terms, and up to the time of his ueath. Although a man of frail health he was noted for his indomitable will power. and determination; it was this characteristic which kept him alive for several mouths. He was a Knight of Phytias and a Woodman. He leaves surviving him a widow and one child. There was quite a number of repre sentative taxpayers in Manning last Monday, and we made it our business to interviewed them on the court house proposition, to our surprise every man we spoke to, was in- favor of the im Drovement; among these being men who lastlyear were very much opposed to building a new court house. One man living near twenty miles from Manning said, the people in his section are in favor of going forward, and the representative who holds back in the fear that it will cost him votes in the next election, stands in his own light, as there is nothing which will operate against a public man more than cater ing to public opinion, and not having the manhood to exercise an opinion of his own. He said it requires no argu ment to shov Clarendon is in dire need of a safe place for the records, and the representatives.knowing this should do their duty as they see it, and not be waiting for public sentiment. Public sentiment is rather a curious thing. A man expresses his individual thoughts but he would give it as the thoughts of the public-he is the pub lic in his own estimation, therefore it will not do to taka for granted that any one man voices public sentment. The thing to do in matters of public mo ment is to ascertain the public's needs, and then do those thmngs which are necessary, it often happens that public improvements can only be obtained by fore. and when they have been maue, those who opposed than most are the first to become enthusiastic in their fa vor. He Has Joined the Fading Grey Line. Died last Saturday afternoon, at his home near Davis Station, Col. Henry L. Benbow, aged 79 years. The deceased was never married, he was a generous soul, a game man, a born leader and one who made friends. At his own request the body was inter red Sunday in the Manning Cemetery, Rev. A. R. Woodson conducted the ser vice. The following sketch was written by one of Col. Benbow's comrades: "Henry Lauren's Benbow was one of the most popular young men of his day, was el ected to the Legislature before the war between the States, he was handsome, courteous, kind and brave. In 1861 when the call of country came, B3enbow entered the army in the Manning Guards, Hampton. Legion, his officers were Brown Manning captain, G. Allen Huggins, John H?"ynesworth, and Jas. D. Kelly Lie";ants. In the first bat tle of Nepassess the lamented John Hanesworth was killed, and Benbow was elected his successor. His friends at home knowing his worth and am bition went to work and organized the "Sprott Guards"and made him captain. He came home from Virginia and took command of this company, and then as sisted in the organization of the 23rd regiment S. C. Volunteers and in the early part of 1862 was elected colonel. He commanded this regiment through out the war was twice wounded-at the second battle of Manasses and Five Forks. He was a born soldier, true to his friends, never forgot a kindness. He was brave to a fault, often exposing himself as an example to his men, and as he expressed it. "to wear off the wi ry edge." The survivors of the 23rd regiment and especially of Co. "I" Sprott Guards will never forget his acts of bravery and kindness, (for it is the brave that are always kind) and will cherish a fond remembrance of him,and rav God. some day, to let us meet e river, and rest under he trees with our fearless Jackson, Kershaw and rs.

The Columbia State offered a $25. prize for the best paper on advertising, and 1manning comes out winner. Mr. Charles G. Singleton, a brothin-in-law of Rev. A. R. Woodson, was among the 296 contestants from 81 towns in the State, and the committee in ren dering its decision said 1st: "The writer of the winning article has presented his argument in support of his vote in the most logical, pleasing, artistic and convincing manner."

His paper is composed in -he most finished style, being at once clear and succinct, logical and urbane." "4. The paper as a whole bears the marks of ripe experience, broad culture, mature wisdom and a keen observation of men and affairs." Death. Died in the 75th year of her age, Mrs. Julia A. Wilson, widow of Rev. Charlton H. Wilson, who had prede ceased her many years, having died during the war in Rienmond, Va. Mrs. Wilson spent the first years of her married life with her husband as missionary to the Indians, being sent by the court of missions in New York to labor among the Chickasaw Indians and to administer the school at Wap anucka. Mrs. Wilson , lived to a ripe old age, surviving her husband and three of her children, and leaving of her children only one son, Dr. H. L. Wilson, of Jordan. S. C., surviving her.

Calvo, bookbinder, em loyed at The State Publishing Co., of ficial printers for the State of South Carolina, living at 1010 Lumber St., Columbia, S. C., says: I thought I had rheumatism and treated for it on that belief. I used all kinds - of liniments. The pain was in my back and in my hips clear to the shoulders. The lini ments did no good and I took to blood medicines but they did not help me, I took a long trip in hopes that the change of climate might help me. I was away for three months but could see no change for the better, I heard of Doan's Kidney Pills and determined to try them, and got a box at a drug store they completely removed the pains out of my back and I have not felt a touch of the old trouble since I used them."
