Next Monday is the day that the qual ied citizens of this town are to ballot for a May'or and six Aldermen. Evi'ry citizen snonid exercise this privilege and go out to vote All of the names mentioned for the respective positions arc among our best citizens. and so far s the welfare of the town is concerned ny of the men named will suit us. but there must be a preference. and it is the duty of every voter to lay aside person nl preference and consider the oniee they are to fill. Manning needs a set of bus iness men on the council, and above all it needs a head that will do things in an ntelligent and an economical manner: t is important that the head of a town ouncil should be a sound business man s well as one who could preside over he meetings of that body. The writer expects he will be here to vote, he hought he would be out of the State, e will use his ballot for what he' believes to be for the town's best wel fare without any regard for the personn Clarendon is being visited frequently by people from Marlboro and Marion ounties, in search of cheap lands. There was a time when land in this county ould hare been bought for a song, but the day has past, now those who are >wning lands are going to the other ex tree and keeping people away by put ting the prices beyond reason. A gentle man from another counvy visiting the ounty, told the writer that he happen ed to mention about a friend of his get ting $100 per acre for a 200 acre tract of land, and in a short time sold the prop ery for 825.000. the man he was telling this to had written to him to come to look at his property and when he asked him what was his price, he was promot y informed that not a cent less than $100 per acre would buy. This man's land had scarcely no improvements, and the dwelling was practically worthless, whereas the property he had told him about had a new modern residence that ost 810,000, besides modern barns and granerries, but because one man's land brought $100 per acre, this man thought his was worth as much regardless of the ther man's improvements. Everybody should get full value for what they have for sale, but there is a limit and by over raching the progress of the county is stopped, and harm instead of good is the result. Property Assesmnt* The county board of equalization was in session all day yesterday, and from what we could learn when at the meet ing, those who were notified of an in rease in the assessment by the town ship boards, appeare~d and got the coun t board to bring down the assessments as originally returned. The whole ass essment busipess is very unjust, and under the oresent system it cannot be remedied. 'The legislature for several years, has been trying to get a plan to eual.e the land assessment, and up to the present it has been impnossiibln to reach an agreement. We were struck with the unequid. ass essment all over the county, and as it is here so it is elsewhere. There are town ships in this county where the land is worth on an average of $30 per acre it is assessed for $5. then there are poor lands which have an average valuation f $5. assessed at sa.-, to s4 per acre. There should be some other way to get at a proper valuation, but the trouble is, unless it is uniform all over the State. a county making anything like a fair and ho- -t return will be dispro portionately L. ed for school and State Teacher's Examination. Notice is hereby given that the next County Teacher's examination will be held at the court house in Manning, Friday, May 6th, beginning promptly at 9 o'clock. Agriculture has been add ed as one of the studies. and you should get a text book on the subject and pre pare yourself for this examination. All holders of second and third grade cer titlcates are urged to take this examina tion. Not to do so, myafc ornx rea'syok.Donot neglect to take t~his examination.

Some tine during the night Anni.-. or )osia Rodgers was struck down with a blunt instrumen:. and two knife wounds were alMo inflicted. The woiman's head was crushed. The body was not discovereJ until the ncxt morning when the dead woman was found Iviug upon the floo. ne'ar the door which was open. A.. alarm was given and the coron--r .oi fied! The little girl that was in Ii, house with the woman. i- only about live years old and i-, unabe to give any information. I:n :h- mornin::. be fore the murde.- was discovered the child went to a n.-ighbor's n her n"iht clothes, and when the persau noticed blood on the child's dress. In answer to inquiry she said. "us has ice at u; house." The husband of the woman at whose nnuse the child wa , asked the child about the blood and how it got on her gar-ment. but the littie onte udid not seem t-> be aware of it. notwithu %an-lizi her feet were smeared with the-- blood. where ?he had walked in it. While questionin- the child. Mr. Arthur Windham, who lives with his brother nearby. in passing the house saw the dead woman. he called to :he man an-I woman where the child was anl they went to the house at once. they then sent to notify the authorities. The Coroner held the inquest. SaLtur day, examined a number o' persons. the evidence brought out enou to envelope Ben Milt-er with suspicion. and he was coramitted to jail to await further developnents. At tirst it was thought the motive rompting the crime was jealousy on the tmart of snm.m -san who wa- intimate ith the woman in Sumter where she recently came frotm. that he followed her her'e. and beeau-.e he would no:, go back with him they quarrel led and he killed ber, but it is -aid the woman' mother moved here with her, and had returned to Sumter the day oefore to bring the rest of her b eonging., and left with her daughter $31 in cash. An exmination failed to tind the mnoney. and the theory is th-mt some de-vil incar nate learning of this money kill-d the woman for it.- Niller. i:, is said. had been at this house seiing s->da wa:.-r, and when questioned he? denied know :ng the woman or ever being at her hou.-;e. This town has never before had such a diabolical crime. and it is giving all much concern. The perpetrator or perpetrators must b.- appr-h-nded. and no stone will be l.ft unturned to bring the guilty to justice.

Betane Must Hang Says Supreme Court. Willie Bethune, a negro must pay the penalty of death for the murder of G. B. Mims in Clarendon county last .year, the supreme court yesterday handing down a decision in which the circuit court is altirmed. The case is remand ed to the circuit court in order that a new date of execution may be assigned. The former date of execution was July 30 of last year. The opinion is by Chief Justice Jones. The circumstances leading up to the killing of Mims were very unusual. His horse hitched to a buggy broke loose and wandered away over a public road it Clarendon county. The team was met by ethune. He caught the horse and ddove it about the country for several ours. as was brought out by the testi mony at the trail. He paid several vis its to his friends and gave a ride to two oung girls. It was stated that, he made no inquiry as to the owner of tbe horse. Bethune found a pistol in a satchel in t~he buggy, which he placed in his pock et. Late in the afternoon Mims, accom panied by a friend. met Bethunc while driving w-ith the two girls. He advanc ed toward Bethune and ordered the two girls to get out, he taking the seat be side the negro. In the testimony it was stated that \iis told the negro to turn around. and as the buggy was being turned M ims fell back wards from the baggy between the wheels, and that Bethune shot him as he was falling to the ground. There followed a pistol duel. When Bethune was captured. he was brought to the penitentiary for safe-keeping, on the oder of or. Ansel. - The State. March A Ticket.
