He is now in the 85th year of his age and is still erect, active and reads r readily without the aid of glasses. .He 3 was delighted with Manning and many 3 of our people were delighted to ineet I him. The Circuit CourtC The February term of the Court of General Sessions convened at ManningI at 10 o'clock last Monday morning with Honorable Ernest Gary, Judge o~f the Fifth Circuit, presidi::g. Mr. J. C. Jordan was excused from service as a petit juror. The commission of Philip H. Stoil, Esq., as Solicitor of the Third Circuit was read by the clerk and placed on recorL. Also the comnmission I of A. I. Barron, re-elected Clerk of't Court, was placed on record. When the grand jury was organized Judge Gary charged them in part as 1 follows "Mr. Foreman and Gentlemen of the I land Jury:-It is a time-honored cus-1 :con of the Court of General Sessions, -and one worthy to be observed, that at~ 1 ~the Mginning of your term of service <i in the capacity of grand jurors the. .circuit judge is required to give some .expression. outlining rour~ general -duties while senving in that capacity, but I dare say that to a majority of you I that it is not necessary, as you are al-I ready fully aware of those duties. The object of the Court of General Sessions is to facilitate and to better the peace of society in a commumity .and in the State at large. Tbe qjues tion is frequently asked, Is our civiliza-i tion improving or degenerating? As for ie people today are more ilizhtened and evince be' tiiensihp than in any oil -in any ot.her age that t Ls ever known. I am sc tough, that in bome sectic rainst. the taking of huma )served as it should be. V. admit that in this State too cheap. Comparative e have stamped out. the id the cotton thief. and L mplished through the C ons by the juries in eonvt' aarged with these crimes wuwe a. -oper case was made out. We have tstamnjed out the crime of taking iman life. It is strange to tell you. it. if a man steals a sheep or cow or at he has a mighty poor showing be re a South Carolina jury, but the inute you let it go abroad that a man Ls committed a crime that shocks the iblic at large, they stand shocked hile, but it'soon wears off and when is called upon to pay the penalty for s deed. the citizenship seems almost one accord to look on him as a artyrfer committing the crime, and idertakes to atone or hatch up some :cuse for 't. It is a matter of educa 2n to teach people hot to commit imes. I believe some of the scientists im now that crime is a disease, and e 19th century is a most progressive e. All the seidnces h.ve pro -essed and it is a higher civilization in any respects, except the view we take the crime of taking human life. What the remedy? If you wana it. I can re it to you. It is up to you and the tit juries to say whether or not You t, it enforced. The Solicitor sind nded can't euforte it., nor can the dire singl-banded antd alone enforce but it Lakes the coubined efforts of I the officers of the courts. If it is true at crime is a disease, what is the rem v? Quarantine it, and the State has mirable quarantine stations for the ring of such diseases. If you tell me ether or not anyone is guilty of any ime I can give him the proper pre ription." The Judge then went on to relate how me of the defenses to crime were >rn out, especially the defense of self fense, add rela+.ed the following ance >te as an illustration thereof. One time grave-drigger exhumed a dead body r the purpose of selling it to some dical students, and on his way to the lege with the body, dropped in at a loon to take a drink. He leaned the idy against the counter while indulg in his drink, and while in there a w occurred, in which there was a deal shooting, and most everybody ran out mediately, and the dead body fell flat the floor. Shortly thereafter some e came in and seeing the dead man ho had been dead a day or so) lying the floor, asked the bar tender what Ls the matter with him, to which the ,r tender replied. "The scoundrel drew cife on me. and I knocked him down." The Judge then took up the oath ich the-Grand Jury had taken, step - step. and asked them to discharge eir duties as men as prescribed by that th, and that the inevitable result )uld be peace and order in their coun In the case of Nelson Hilton, colored, arged with rape, a verdict of not tilty was given by instruction of the urt, the prosecution failing to pre t incriminating evidence. Frank Driggers, white, indicted for arder, was arraigned and trial set r Wednesday John Nelson. colored, indicted for urder, was arraigned and trial set for ednesday. Willie 'McLeod and Redus Hilton, as Sweetie Hilton, both colored, in ted for murder, were arraigned and ial set for Tuesday. Te case of the State against W.

Tuesday morning Judge Gary charg the jury in the above stated case, dthe jury returned a verdict of guil of assault and b".ttery. and the de dant was sentenced to serve three nths on the ebain gang.

Elwin Stuckey, colored, was tried on Sindictment for housebreaking and reeny, found guilty, and sentenced to rye one year on the chaingang or in e penitentiary. The case against Willie McLeod and edus Hilton, colored, charged with urder, was taken up after dinner re 'ss. Davis & Weinberg and J. J. mtey for the defense.. The taking of testimony in this case as still in progress when court ad-| urned Tuesday afternoon. Wheni art reconvened this morning the case s resumed, but was not concluded up the noon hour, hence no further re >rt can be given in this issue. PRESNTMENT OF THE GRAND JURY. esterday the Grand Jury handed in their neral presentment and were discharged for e term. The presentment is as follows: >his Honor. Ernest Gary. presiding Judge. Eebruary term of Court 1909: W report that we have considered and pass upon all bills of indictment handed us.

Not long ago something was said by omebody-perhatps by Mir. Taft-about ocial ostracism in the S',uth because of >olitics. Mr. Taft or~ whoever it wa alking, gave thanks that time had come rhen such a thing was not possible. As a matter of fact. there has neveL >een any ostracism, social or otherwise, u the South because of politics. If any >ody in the South has been ostracised it ias been for other causes than politics. These reflections open the way for us o make a little comment on the electior3 f Mr. E. F. Cochran as president of the n derson Bar Association th'e other day, Mr. Cochran is a life-long Republican, Lnd is at present an oftlee-holder under Republican administration. He is the ynlv Republican member of the Ander ;on Bar Association. All the others art emocrats, and most of them, we be .ieve, are 3ryan Democrats, and the: igure quite extensiv~ely in politics wher :he occasion presents itself. But in spit! >f these things Mr. Cochran was electeg president of the Bar Association, anc biis election was so natural and so wel eserv-d that we tav not heard any :onnection with! >dy has thought be president of iation, and Mr. I to the honor. a man of good ing aenrleman. ognized by his *s by the .ublic!

If the man himself is all rig ht he can get along, and if he is not all right he cannot get along. In the South a man's politics constitute neither a help nor a hindrance to his professional or business success or to his social standing in the community in which he lives. 1 And this cannot be said of some other sections of the country, we beliere.

W. E: Brown & Co. The Colored Graded School. Editor The Manning Times: There are th ree im nortant features in my work here that I would like to speak of publicly. First, I wish to speak of the < '-Educational Awakening" t.at seems to be evident among the pecple. We have enrolled to date in the Colored Graded School 260 pupils, and a good percentage of that number is from the country. Secondly. the people are re sponsive to the cause which is told in I the results of the contingent fees. The third and inspiring feature is the support, encouragement and good feel ing given the work by the white people of Manning. My board is encouragingly liberal in its belief of the educational uplift of the people as a whole. The Superintendent of Education, Prof. E. J. Browne, is a man of many parts and his ability as an experienced school man invites study. I have not met one so in spiring in the work and I have had con tact with some of the leading educators t of both races. I fully believe that the educational spirit in Clarendon County, under so usefut a leader, is going to lead 2 the State. Another of our most useful men in the work is Prof. Daniel, Superintendent of the city schools. Prof. Daniel has made several visits to the Colored Gra~led School and has given the teaching force some helpful and profitable suggestions t in the work. The colored people need to begin to stir themselves to the call of duty. The old school house. known as the Colored Graded School buildina, is not in good shape. is too small, and does not, cannot and will never auswer the reqiirements of the the time. It is up to the people I of the district. Let's nave a new build- t ing. 1 I desire to call your attention toanoth er important feature in our school life this term. For the first time, (I am told.) the boys and girls are all given monthly reports which they take home to show the standing in their work for the month. After this month ao unique plan will take even the place of the one C now in vogue. W6 are issuing a card to be signed t each month by the parent of pupil, and s returned to the teacher until the end of he term. We speak of this that the people of both races might get an intel ligent idea of our work and the stress we lay upon methods in the life of the school. I like to pu& business in school work.

A famous story that is being retold in Oregon Is about a very rich banker who got his start by doing work for the government. His bill -was $5,000, and it had to be submitted to congress. Congress has a habit of cutting its bills In two.. To make allowance for this he jumped his bill to $10,000. He sent the bill to the governor for his approval. The governor, having also heard that congress generally appro priated only half as much as was ask-1 ed, jumped it to $20,000. The bill was then sent to one of the congressmen. Being friendly to 'the contractor, he jumped It to $40.000 and sent It to an-1 other Oregon congressman for his ap-1 proval. The second congressman jump ed it to $S0.000. Congress allowed the whole $80,000, although the contractor was entitled to only $5,000. This is told as a fact in Oregon. The man who got the $80,000 got his start on it and is now a millionaire.-Atchisonl Globe. Prescribes Dr. Blosser's Catarrh Remedy.

In China ladies are attended by serv ants who hold umbrellas over their heads. The Chinese and Japanese in troduce both the umbrella and parasol into their decorative work and athletic sports. In western Turkey It Is neces sary to close an umbrella on meeting people of high rank, and a European traveler who wvas passing one of the palaces of the sultan was nearly run through by the guard before he com prehended that he must p~ut .down the open umbrella he carried. Every one passing the actual residence of the sultan lowers his umbrella as a salu tation to "the brother of the sun findi the moon."

Some of our most useful rechanica appliances owe their existence to thb ingenuity of children in fashionin their playthings. Argand, who in rented a lamp with a wick fitted inti 1 hollow cylinder, was one day bus: In his workroom. Sitting before th burning lamp, his little brother wa: imusing himself by placing a bottom less oil flask over different articles Suddenly he placed it upon the flami )f the lamp, which instantly shot u] the long circular neck of the flas aith increased brilliancy. Argand di< aot allow such a suggestive occur ence to escape him. The iea of thi amp chimney s:most immediatell -ame into his head, and in a shor ime his invention was perfected. The 'elescope owes its origin to imilar occurrence. The children o: i Dutch spectacle maker happened t< )e playing one day with some of thei ather's glasses in front of the shol loor. Placing two of the glasses to ;ether, they peeped through them and were exceedingly astonished to sei :he weathercock of the neighborinj ;teeple brought within a short distance )f their eyes. They were naturall3 uzzled and called their father to se4 :he strange' sight When the spec acle maker looked through the glasse 2e was no less surprised than th4 hildren had been. He went indoor. Lnd thought the matter over, and thex :he idea occurred to him that he migh !onstruct a curious new toy whic] ould give people a good deal i usement. Not long after the tele icope was an accomplished fact. THE RIVER NILE. Ancient Greeks and the Process 6i Sterilizing Water. The ancient Greeks already recom. nended the use of sterilized water ufus of Ephesus; in the first centuM if this era, taught that "afl watei rom rivers and ponds is bad excepi hat from the Nile. Water from riven hich flow through unhealthy soil tagnant water and that which flows tear public bathing places is Larmful he best water is that which has beet >oiled in baked earthenware vessels, ooled and then heated a second time iefore drinking."

These holes should be lined ith clay suci as is used for making ottery and tie water should be made o percolate through it. The water will save all its impurities in these pits." It may be inquired how the ancient 'reeks, knowing the processes of ster ization and filtration of water whici hey applied to that of the most limpid ivers, should have drunk without pre autions the water of the Nile, whidh ur microscopes allow us to declare 'sound," but which' is in appearance he most worthy of suspicion of all d is so muddy, so yellow. that it re embles wine.-Gazette des Eaux.
