The news from Sumnmert.on that Mrs. Fred Lanham, who has been extremely ill is improving, is very gratifving. Mrs. Lanham before her marriage was a Miss Scarborough of Bishoprille, and visited friends in Manning. Mtarried at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Cuttino, in Sumter. Wednesday evening, June 15th, M.r. George Lau rence Archer and Miss Mary Hattie Frierson. Tne bride is the daughter of the late J. Grier Frierson of this county. In this issue there is the announce ment of Dr. I. M. Woods as a candidate for the lower House of Representatives. Dr. Woods has served in that body and is well known to all of our readers, for it has been demonstrated that he has friends all over the county. The fellow who gives up his time to run around the country electioneering for a candidate, gets more cash out of the job than the candidate or the pe.ople he is trying to hoodwink. The best way to treat hired workers is to give them the "aba" and let them travel on. The South Carolina Cotton Seed Crushers' Association has honored us with an invitation to attend their con vention at Wrightsville Beach, N. C., on July 7th. The invit.ation of these business men is very much appreciated. but we regret that it will not be con venient to attend. A n'-o woman living e-i M r. I'aul Hiarvin's plantation in the Fork. near Hiar', ins. 'was shot yesterday by Sami Harvin who also lives on the samne place. The cause of the shooting is un known. The woman's condition : serious, the ball having entered tnle base of the brain. The base ballists of Manning proos to have an ice cream festival. next Fri day evening. at the old court houi.e fe the benefit of the Nimanning base ba: club. The boys are anxious tW ra5 some money. and th.ey have adopte this plan to do so. Therefore we hop I thev will be libera!lv ittronized. The trustee-s of the lanning grade school have elected Miss Zetla Star borough as one of the teachers for th coming school term. Miss Scarboroug1 is a graduate of Winthrop. and has ha experience in teaching. She tills the va cancy created bv M. iss Lonneau havin; accepted a position in the graded schoc at Spartanburg. When you see a man riding over th, country in the interest of a candidate put it down that be is a generous cha] to be giving his time away free. Pec ple usually require pay for their serv vices, and if they do not get it. rhi Chinaman's rule of no -tickee. n< waslee." applies. .o money. no elec tioneering. See. During an electric storm at New Zior yesterday on the plantation of Mr. Wil liam Fleming. a negro by the name o McKenzie was struck and instant!% killed by lightning, a horse belonging to Mr. Fleming was als, killed. ani McKenzie's wife was so severely shock ed that she was rendered unconscious and up to this morning she is in a dazec condition. There are now ooly three candidatec for the lower House. if no other candi dates enter the race these gentlemer are sure of election, all of them are good men and will do their dutv. Two o: them Messrs. Green and Woods are ex. perienced men, the other Mr. White, is a new one but the others were also new when they tirst started, in fact, one of them was Green. The Regal machines have arrived, and they can be seen at Coffey & Rigby's. This automobile is very attractive, and has a good reputation for durability and speed. Messrs. Coffey & Rigby are anx ious to olace this iachine in this sec tion, and they have all the guarantees to furnish that can be given to automo biles. of even higher price. Do not fail to let them take you out for a spin. Ied at home. near Paxville last Sat urday, Mr. Jackson W. Rhame. aged 21 years. The deceased had been ill with typhoid fever for several weeks. The funeral took place at Calvary. Rev. M. J. Kizer conducted the service. Jackson was a very promising young man, and his untimely death is a sev ere loss to his father and sisters, be sides entire community. The postoffice department has agreed to let Manning have larger quarters for a postoffice. The building now oc cupied by Mr. J. L. Wells, as a barber shop. will soou be vacated and it will be enlarged, a new equipment put in and then the office will be established there under a ten-year lease. The change will probably be made by the last of September, if the post office equipment can be gotton here by then. When you hear a candidate boast of his strength, andsay he will beat his opponent where that gentleman has al ways polled a bandsome vote, rest as sured the candidate is blowing for effect, hoping it will appeal to the man be is talking to, and cause that man to want to get on the strong side. But people are not like children to be swerved by such tactics. We were delighted to see in Man ning last Thursday, Dr. A. J. Briggs of Summerton, who has recently moved back to Clarendon, his native home. Dr. kBriggs gave up a splendid practice at Clinton to come back home to be wth his broter. M.aji. R. Rl. Briggs Dr. Briggs has a great many old friends in this county who will be gratified at his return to take up his citizenship with us. At the picnic in Salem last Saturday we heard considerable talk of the new county scheme, and from what we heard and could gather, the reaca for the de sired change is because of the good roads promised them by the promoters of the new county. If those good peo ple will be a little more patient with our supervisor and give him a chance to coomplete some work that is neces sary be is going to put the gang in that section and work those roadscompletely. Mr. McFaddin has told us that it his de sire to get over into Salem as soon as he possibly can. A. W. Phelps pleaded guilty yesterday to the charge of bigamy in the c-"rt at Kingstree, but on account of his afflic t~ion Judge Memmmnger suspended the sentence. Were it not for the man's con dition the judge would have sent him to the penitentiary for a period of twenty-one years. Phelps will be taken to his home in Greenboro, N. C. This is one of the most pitiful cases :>n record in this State, and it should serve as a warning to girls to be more care ful how they make friends with strang ers. No woman should take the risk of marrying a man until she knows him well. In thiscase, a stranger blight ed the life of a young girl, and crushed the heart of a wife living in another State, and yet true to her vows, when the man who had crushed her and blasted the future of an innocent but foolish girl, became afflicted in a strange land among strangers, she bound up her wound, and went to her huband to nurse him in his illness, and perhaps when he is taken home this same wronged wife will have tc provide the living for him. His affliic tion looks as if a visitation from above. Coasty Fair. The Board of Trade has taken ut actively the matter of a county fair for this county this fall. At a meeting held last Monday the following committees were appointed: To solicit subscrip tions in town. J M. Bradham, J. H. Rigby and T.' F. Coffey. In th( country, C. A. McFaddin and J1. E Kelly. On building and fence. Ji. M. Widnam and 0. W. McRoy. On pre miums listed, W. T. P. Sprott. Tbt next meeting is to be held on JTuly ->th There is nothing that will do more to Iwards bringing our people togethei 'and advertising the county than a good lie county fair, and as a very consid erable amount has already been sub scribed it seemas certain now that wil have it.

Then you have missed a pieni which is a congregation of as sturdy people a ever grace the -,oil of an; countrv. These people are fArmers. has always been their vocation. and th< vocation of their forbears. tney ari proud of their callingr and they have jus. cause to be. Therefore when thcre i: another :nicnic in that section if you ari invited, go. On last Saturday thnere assem-nbled no less than 1.500 Deopl-- o do honor to tht Woodmen of the Turbeville camp. -rhos -uests they were, and whose member did all that a generous people could d( to make the assembled host have glorious day. The picnic was held in: grove not far from the splendid stort ouilding of S. C. Turbeville, and by tht way, Turbeville is building up rapidly, splendid stores are there now. more go in'- up. and the dwellings are of the modern order. There is a very nict dwelling not vet finished said to belonf to Dan Turbeville, and of course, to let him say it, he expects to keep bachelor', hall in it, but we bet two to one he would not be willing to go on oath with ,uch a statement. Turbeville is magnificientlY located. surrounded by a section of coun try that is unexcelled. a people who are thrifty and sturay, they live like Pr:nces as a result of their own labor. Their smoke houses are at home and their corn cribs at the same place: these people will not tolerate laziness. or tritleness. they work themselves, and those about them mest also earn their bread by the sweat of "he face. and when playtime comes they have their pleasures, and love to furnish pleasure for their friends. Those Salemi tesarea progressive people as is manifest in their interest in the character of their church and school buildings, the PineGrove church has no superior in the county, and the school facilities are splendid now but it is pro. posed to have additional school facili ties, more up-to-date. Not so iong ago they bad a school bond election and the vote was close but the opposition to the bond issue was not the resuit of stinginess or ignorance, but it was the judgment of some of the best men there that the bond issue was not the proper way to get at what was want ed. Some of the same men who opposed the bond issue would willingly go into their own pockets and contribute the necessary money, and thereby keep off the tax which must necessarily be put on. These men are as progressive as the others. but with them it is a matter of a differance of opinion solely. However. whether the new school building eon templated, is built by a bond issue or by money contributions the fact remains that the spirit of progress is with all of those people even where some may hae different views as to the best way of ac complishing objects for the good of the com-unitv. When, and wherever this spirit exists, no one can truly say that ignorance guides them in 'he way they favor or oppose. But to the picnic, There assembled a large concourse of people. they came from far and near, and they came too with "well filled baskets." On the grounds were all kinds of vehicles from the one-horse wagon to the automobile touring car: horses fat and sleek, were hitched out to trees, and the people were there in holiday attire. it reminded the writer of a fourth of July celebration he attended upon the Isle of Palms where the city folks with their country cousins were out for an outing and a huge time. The man who but the day before was out in his fields working like a Turk, was this day the gentleman of ease greeting his friends and neighbors: the lady who but the day before was super intending the work'in her home, prob ably doing the most of it herself. was this day the fashionably and comfortab lv dressed lacy who was glad to be with her neighbors to join them in the pleas ure it gives good people to be able, and glad to feel the warm touch of friend ship. The children was in their hey day of glory, they romped and played, crawl ed over t.heir Dads when they got a chance, whether Dad liked it or not, and the young chaps with the pretty girls did not seem to care how long the day last ed, in fact there were som'e who actual lv declined to permit the writer to get ~ithin hearing distance of them. He asked one spoony couple did they wish his presence, and the girl in tones that could not possibly be misunderstood said No. the writer widened the distance, for he did not know what the fellow wvho was with her had brought from the North. There was everything to add comfort to the pleasure of the day, soda water, ice cream, lemonade. cigars, and what ever could be desired to refresh the in ner man, and cool his parched tongue. The refreshment stand was weill patron ized, and the service was good. On account of a wreck on the Alcolu Palroad there was some delay about the speaking. Hon. Thomas Hamer of Ben nettsville, who was to deliver an address for the Woodmen, failed to arrive, but Hon. Mendel L. Smith of Camden, for mer Speaker of the House of Rlepresen totives, also especially invited to deliver an address, arrived to the gratilication of the large assemblage. A stage was provided upon which was seated a num ber of gentlemen, visitors. Mr. Clem Dennis announced that Rev. E. P. Hut son would introduce the speaker which he did in a few remarks. The address was a masterpiece. The subject was "Fraternalism," and it is our judgment, after having heard this subject aiscuss ed by some of the best after dinner, and latform speakers in the United States, that it was witho~ut the least doubt the best we have ever heard, so itopressed with it was the writer that he pleaded with Mr. Smith to give him tce speech for publication as he did not feel he could do'such a grand uieliverance jus tie in an attempt to write a partial sy nopsis. Mr. Smith began his address by announcing that he was not a Woodmen, but would soon be as he has recently been elected to a camp membership, but has not as vet been initiated, so Chop pers, let us when he is taken through the forest, pray that he may have a safe journey, and that when he sits down to rest he will be comfortable. He showed what fraternalism did menian and he demonstrated most elo. ouentlywhat it did not mean. lHe made tclear that where the proper fraternal spirit existed, crimes aba.ed. neigh bors ved in h armony and love with each other. Where this spirit abided it was the hand maiden to the church and the school. It was a great civilizer. and it was the sunshine to the soul. All through this grand utterance the speak er held his audience as if snell bound. i' hung upon his every word. and when he stopped his hearers would have muct referred that he had continued. Such speech is seldomn heard, so mxuch zoot thought condensed in the :--hort time Mr. Smith told the writer thait he. hai m nanuscript with him. but if he. coukt have the time to write out is .,:>eet when he reached hcme lie would try t( do so. but he was afraid he couild not ire it to us in time for this wveek's issue. after the speaking dinner was an nounced, and we have no hesitency ii aving there was food enough to havy fed live thousand people, and isuchi food so delightfully prepared, and so spleD didlv served. There was chicken :n al styles from the old fashion piet '-th mother used to make'' to broils and frie, of the Methodist parson variety. stes -baied and in any way the appetite couli ong for. and our good Methodist broth~ en who is the Sheppard of the Turbe ville flock, seemed to have a longing, a well as this sojourner, who had travele< far to be at the feast: not oiny was th' chicken there in plenty, but the fines barbecue that ever escaped the appetit of the writer's grandpa: had the ol entleman have been given a piece . I arbecue suchi as we ate that day. :h nhibition would not have been put o the hog, nor would his swineship hay d been driven into the sea, more tha probable he would have been penne~C 1and his meat handed cown to the sota y of Moses. A aron, laaac and Jacob as th - . t ,t for th- . od.. ut in the olde time our good old ancestors did not have a wback at a Salem barbecued pij. and herefore their iorance ixc be. Not only was there meats galore and of li.kind3. hut everything to tempt appe tites to the extent that we sometimes think if a fellow who could get such food ie would cut out the bymn which read-; "'I would not live alwa;s". for lit' would evrv re!uetetl:y give Ilp such a dclight a?. thee feasts provid#-. The cakes and pie-. cubtards. breads of every faith,. creed, or denominatioa, to ie washed down bv L fino coffee as ever removed the cob webs from a thirsty throat: the dinner was justsplendid --nd served well by the ladies of the community, aided bv a number of gentlemen. everybody was given the best of attention, and evervbody had a good time. fter d'inner the boys went down the road and played ball. whil the grown ups did the'sparking, the candidates wiggled about in the throng. and every fellow was doing his best to go away feelin. himself solid. Along this line. our observation is that, the peonle of that section are. each man of hi.. own way of thinking and choosing. and polite and kind to all: and when the time comes for the exercise of the franchise they do that which their own judgment dictates, and they resent any interference with this privilege. The crops in that section are fLue to bacco in s:me places the best we have ever seen at this season of the year. the rains have effected some of the crops but take tL.em all in all they are good. Mr. A. J. H icks has a field of tobacco that we will put up against anything in this or any other State. It is a picture. The finest corn thtt we have seen anywhere is that of Mr. Walter McFaddin. it is said that if it does not meet with a mis hap it will make 100 hulishels to the aere. We received the following letter from Hon. M. I- Smit.h this morning: Camden. '. C.. June :1. 1'90. H1on. LouisAppl.Ma-in.; C.

Sincerely yours. .\ICUNDEI. L. SMI:TH. S -mmn News. Editor The Manning Times: It is generally conceded that the anticipated blessing is more pleasinz than the real: but the reality of warm weather is most acceptable and leas ant to the farmers. Today is practi cally the beginning of labor since the continuous rains began some three weeks ago, and the most of our plant ers will find a plenty to do. That the weather conditions caused poo r stands is accepted as true, but that atple time, assuming more favorable conditions, remains in which to de stroy the ill effects is also true. The town council has with renewed activity continued the work on our -tin streets. The claying being done is rapidly progressing; and main street promises to be an up-to-date road throughout its entire length in the course of the next week or so. The corner stone of the new Metho dist church will be laid on Thursday afternoon next. In spite of the bad weather the work has been progress ing nicely. It is the hope of the con gregation that the building will be completed sometime previous to the meeting of the South Carolina Con ference next fall. Quite a number of young people i made a pleasant and enjoyable trip to Scott's Lake on Thu rsday evening. Although the ground was rather damp, buggy robes and cushions serv ed as protection during the short stay at the lake. Refreshments in picnic fashion were carried and served on improvised tables. Hon. 0. C. Scarborough leaves to morrow to open his campaign tour in Sumter, S. C. Mr. Scarborough has held for two terms the office of Legis lator from this county, and this is his first appearance as a candidate for a State office; but we make no doubt that his well-known zeal together with his recognized abilIty will serve him in good stead as heretofore. Mr. Scarborough professes not to have ayparticular fondness for stump speaking, but the voters may rest as sured that what he tells them he ini tends doing if elected Railroad Coin missioner, that he will do. Mr. and Mrs. Rodgers Scarborough, Mr. Vernon Scarborough all of Bish opville, and Mr. Harry Scarborough of Sumter, and Mrs. Toon of Red Springs, N. C., have been in town for severnl days at the bed side of Mrs. Fred Lanham. Mrs. Lanham's friends will be gratified to hear that she has shown some improvement in the last 24 hours, and her recovery is being cheerfully hoded for by her family. Dr. J. A. Mood of Sumter, was in town yesterday. Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Wood'ev went to Sumter Saturday to see their son, Mr. John Woodley, who for the past two weeks has bet-n ill at the Mood In fi rnary.

But as we pay a great many debts which we do not owe. the writer feeis somewhat justified in giving his views to the world. We feel that we are living in the :fArden spot of the world. and wonder sometimes that some one has not advocated the theory that the garden of Eden might nave been 1o cated in Hampton. It seems that an all wise creator has ,,pecially favored this part of His vineyard, and yet we fear that we do not appreciate His goodness as we should. He has not only surround ed us with marks of His loving kindness. but has also given us a noble people. It would be hard to find a more liberal minded and procressive people. if yiou were to travel the world over than we have here in Hampton county. We have the land. we have the water. and we have the progressive spirit among our Peole. So why may we not some day have the greatest county in the State. in the greatest liepublic of the world. We are very sorry tnat the !-'ditor of Tii M.XN R(; Tui:ts cannotshare with us the honor of being an inlabitant of this great county. We do greatly re joice. that he is permittcd to share with us the privileges of citizenship in our state and the world. It is inspiring to behold the smiling faces of our progres sive farmers. aro-mndi whose hearth stones. peace. happiness and prosperity reigus. Great sons of noble sires' There is also a cheerful look on the faces of our business men: which may be con strued as a taken of their feeling of se curity and contidence. A man giving his name as Charlie Painter. was lodged in jail here on the i 16-h inst., suspected of being -Joseph Wendling the murder of Alma Kellner. of Louisville, Ky. Mr. Editor you know this must, be a great town when we are forced to look to Kentucky and other states to furnish criminals for our jail in order that the jailer may have enough work to keep him awake. We also have such a thing as an alms house down here: but we only have one pauper in it: an old colored woman who might have come from some other section of the country: so we challenge even Claren don county, to show a like record for peace and prosperity. There was a beautiful home wedding in our town on the afternoon of the 16th inst.. when the residence of Mrs. W. J. Ellis was the scene of the marriage of her daughter, Miss Florence. to Mr. Thos. J. McDaniel. by the Rev. J. R. Funderburk the otileiating minister. The wedding march was played by M-s. J. W. Elkins, who also played softly. "The Palms." during the ceremony. After refreshments of a very delicious were served, the happy young couple wook the train for Glenn Springs. We are informed that other couples are soon to follow. If our young men do not be stir themselves, young men from other sections will come and take some of our beauties away to other parts of the world. Cis Resolutions of Condolence. Whereas.
