Col Gaillard was boro at s Fulton, in this county, in the summer Iresidence of his grand-father Hon David S,. Piere DuBose. In his six teenth year he clerked in Winn-sboro, e and worked indust.riou-ly for his em ployer until bed time, then he applied himsel f to his studies I: uight, and with p carefully selected boa2ks lie kept abreast B of any student, just at this juncture a a cdmpetitive examination was advertis e ed for West Point, and he won over t eight young men fresh from the hall of I their Alma Mater He forged ah-ad at the nation's military school and carried off one of the highest honors. He was D order'd to duty at Washington. and did t fine service in the engineering depart i ment. President Roosevelt took him to a huge aqueduct in which he wanted s some radical changes, the other engi neers at Washington told him it could not be done. Gaillard modestly said he would Live it his best effort, and he r succeeded in accomplishing the task. He won the Presiden't confidence ever after, and was appointed Colonel of a regiment of engineers numbering one thousand strong, this command went to the front in the Spanish-American war. Many prayers will be wafted from Clar endon to John Bookins for his recoy ery. The following is taken from the Chicago Tribune: GAILLARD OF CULEBRA. If he had held a city agains. desper ate seige for month after month, he would have been called "the hero of -," every school boy would know his name, and a thrill would have run through the nation when the report of I his physical breakdown appeared in large headlines in the press But David DuBose Gaillard has been engaged in a task more difficult, per haps, dnd as important to his country, and he has paid the penalty of his grim resolution, his duty, and his enthusiasm, and now lies perilously ill in Johns Hopkins hospiral just as his splendid service is nearing its completion. Lieut. Col. Gaillard is the man of the Culebra Cut. It is he who, day by day, has di .rected and personally pd the fight against the treacherous slides, master ed their strategy, and won the fight for thA Canal For months Col Gaillard's strength has been yielding, it is report.ed. to the strain, yet he has worked twelve hours a day much of the time in the stagger ing heat'of the cut. Finally nature de manded her fee, and Gaillard, of Cu lebra, fell like a commander on the field of victory. Whether he will survive or whether he will be restored to health cannot now be predicted. But no man who ever laid down his life on a field for the Republic better deserves its gratitude and the memory of his coun trymen than David Du!-ose Gaillard, conqueror of Culebra. COL. D. W.

There was at t.he Manning Baptist, church last Sunday night a large con gregation to greet the new pastor, and to give him a welcome to th s, his new field of ministerial endeavor. In honor of this occusion there was no services in the other churches, and all joir~ed iu the union service with the Baptist c-on gregation. Rev. G P. Watson, of the Methodist church presided, Rev. S G. St ukes opened the exercises with praye r S. Oliver O'Br~s an, Esq , as a member of the town council, in behalf of the wu in well chosen words expressed to thbe minister a hearty welcome. He was fol lowed by Rev. L. P. McCord, of the Presbyterian church, in welcoming the new co laborer to Manning, when hb concludtd Mr. Watson announced that M r. 3. K Bree-din was to do the honors for the Episcopal church 'but could not be present, then Mr. Watson, for the Methodist church, estpre.-sed his good wishes and assured tae pastor of his hearty co operation in all thbat will go to the up-lift of the community. The addresses of welcome were responded to by Capt. D. J. Bradham in behalf of the church, in which he thanked the other churches for their kind words. Rev. J. A. Ansley, the new pastor, responded feelingly to the welcome that had been given. him, and then he preached a strong, tpractical sermon, the kind of sermon which lives after the words are spoken. Mr. Ansley is a man of fine physic, has the marks of earnestness de-picted in his face, and we feel like predteting for him a career of great uselulness in this community. Three Robberies ILast Week. There has been several robberies in this town recently, which are not only annoying to those whose homes were entered, but it is giviug the whole town an uneasy feeling; as long as these sneak thieves are at large there will be considerable uneasiness. Last Th ursd ay night the home of Mr. C. M. White was entered through an adjoining room window, from where Mr White was sleeping, and a trunk taken from with in three feet of his bed, the trunk was carried ont into a cotton field, rifled and left where it was found the next, morning. The same night in the same neignborhood, the home of Mr. W. T. Sprott was entered through a screen door, the sleeping room whetre a lamp was burning was entered, the thief did not disturb anything but Mr Sprott's pants, from which he took h is porse con'aining a bout $5, anad h.-n dropped tile panns on ti e fl-'.r S aturday nieht thi- home of Mr. .1. M. Peatvy on Chuta-e str-eet nas en e'aed, and like the scamp thai visited .\lr. :torott's, he took .\r. Peavy's panas, r-obbed the pockes of about, $25 andl dr-opped the pants. These happenings are yern unusual iu this town, an~I we ar-e satts6ed nothing will be left undone to anprethend the gu~ltr parties There have been a number of new faces heree of tate, both white and colore d, whether any of these strangers are the thieves or not cannot be said. but the authori ties will keep a close watch upon the movements of all w-h im they mi~rht, nave reasons to suspect.

Tn formerseasons there was complaint of Manning not being abreast of the times as a cotton market, but this com plaint cannot be truthfully laid at Man ning's door now, because it does not ex ist this season. and the indications are there will be no ground for such a com plaint any more. Manuing today is one of the best selling markets in this sec tion of the State, from the beginning of this season's marketing it has paid more for cotton thia elsewhere, and an investigation will nrove Manning has paid :iny where from 25 to 50 points more than the nearby markets. The buyers here have started off well, if they keep it up, as they seem determined they will, an increased quantity of the stanle will be attracted to Manning. and the merchants who are largely responsible for the present favorable conditions, will give it encouragjemenr. by offering good values at close figures. and keep in their stores just what the people want; with the farmers getting in Man ning good prices for their principal product, and the onoortunity to buy what they need at fair prices there is every indication of this being a great season for the business interests of this town.

The work on the Panama canal is fast approaching completion, and when It is completed w~e hope the promise of getting the government to send tbe machin ery to the lowlands of this State will be carried out. When ti~e congressional campaigners were bot-footing it over the district the draining of the lowlands was their long suit, all did not have the same idea as to the way it was to be done, but they were all agreed that if elected,~ they could interest the government in sending the Panama canal's machinery to drain these lands; there could be no greater boon to the people of the low country than for the government to carry the water off and give them the opportunity of reclaiming a vast territory of~ the most fertile lands in the world, and the con gressman who can accomplish this much desired legislation, would be deserving of a life tenure in office-But. Governor Suizer is a Demo crat, elected in the last Demo cratic tidal wave, the legislature of New York is also Democratic, and it was this legislature that institutnd impeachment proceed ings against him, however, im peachment does not necessarily carry with it conviction, and from what we have read about the case wve doubt if Suizer will be1 convicted. The sentiment out side of the Empire State is large-. ly in favor of the governor, main ly because Tammanyv ismade to appear as the moving s p i r it against Suizer. Ex-President Roosevelt, together with many of the other leading publicists, is outspoken in sympathy with Governor Suizer. and when the time comes for the impeachment proceedings to be acted upon we look for every Republican and Progressive in the New York legislature, to line up with the opposition to Tammany.

"What do they say aboul e?" "Well, sir." answered the old states man, "The Haguers declare that your ajesty has become stark.. staring ad!" Before he could utter another word King William. his face purple with fury, jumped up and seized a heavy silver inkstand, with the inten tion of hurling It at the head of the premier. Fortunately a projecting an gle of the ink-stand caught in the table loth and dragged it off the table with everything upon it. In the confusIon the discharge of the missile was delay ed for a moment. "Sire." exclaimed Thorbecke quietly. if your majesty hurls that beautiful inkstand at my head The Haguers will ave much reason for their assertion!" For a minute the angry king gazed in slence at his minIster. Then he grad ually lowered his arm and replaced the inkstand on the table. He walked tc ne of the windows and stood looking ut for a few minutes. Returning to the table, he resumed his seat and saId, as if nothIng had happened: "And now tell me what you have got to say."
