The case of Willie Bethune, a negr onvicted of the killing of G. B. Mir white man, on February 21, 1909, laredon county, was remanded to tl ircuit court for a new trial by t preme court this morning in an op~ yn written by Eugene B. Gary. ch astice. The reversai of the circuit conu ccording to the opinion, was thei ult of an affidavit by L. D. Jennin f Sumter, who assisted the solicitor he prosecution, in which 31r. Jennin leges that in the pre-trial examir ion of,a witness for the state -A lfr JFaddin --he stated that he didr now who fired tbe first shot and -c o see Bethune tire it. In the exar ation of McFaddin by the sohici uring the trial, says the atlidavit, t ritness swore that he did see Bethu ire the first shot at M1r. M1ims. I 'addin was the only eye-witness1 he state and the judge charged ti he jury was to decide whitber credat ras to be placed in MceFaddin's tes nonv. Later an order for a new tr ras refused by a circuit judge on aft< liscovered evidence. The case of Bethune has been one he most sensational in the crimir unals of South Carolina. It has be ippealed to the state supreme coi ve times and to the federal supre; tourt one time, and in each case. I tept the latest, the judgment oft ircuit court has been sustained. According to the evidence aciduc it the trial, Bethune had purloined torse and buggy belonging to G. Ims and was riding two negro gi long the country road in Clarend tounty when overtakec by M1r. Mir vho ordered the p~arty to alight. he white man approached the bui; ~tated the testimony, Bethune hit A Ims over the head with a blunt ~trument and shot him in the he bhrough the eye, from which de; esul ted. Excitement was so intense in (:1 mdon over the alleged murder f! ormer Governor Ansel ordei ethune brought to Columbia u edged in the state penitentiary safe keeping. Bethune was placed on trial in Cl mndon on June 12. 1909 conyvicted urder and sentenced to death. I ;entence was reprieved and a jury tri li-m for insanity and hf was adjudg ;ane during the June 1910 term ourt for Clarendon county.

Beginning at S:30 last evening the in .commencement exercises of the Man _ nina High School took place in the school auditorium in the presence of l an overflowing audience. The year's work thus brought to a close has been - remarkable in several respects. With is an enrolment only two or three short of last year, which was the largest in the history oftheschool,the percentage e of attendance for the year was above er 9 while the record of tardies was lesr a- than 0005 of 1 per cent a minimum that approximates the vanishing point. Some pupils drive to school from a dis tance of seven and cight miles in the a country and vet arrive nunctually. r- Luring the past year the best work :e in the history of the school was done, 11 the school making 14 units in three years. The attendance upon the Grad Sed and High School almost equa's half i the white population of Manning. As a result of such a record it is not sur prising that the board of trustees re elected the entire corps of teachers. but it is reporter that. the 1st and 5th rade teachers will not come back e nex year. The prograna of the exer e cises iast night was as follows: Invocation by the Rev. J. A. Ansley, salutatory.

The direful consequence that be t fell the old "sixteen to one" political it proposition all happened before these pupils came upon the stage. The Robert E. Lee medai was pre seutd by S. Oliver O'Bryan to Miss - Liilie Brogdon for the best paper writ - ten in the class room on the subject h "Robert E.

McCord to Benjamin o Husbands, and a medal for the best 1, paper on "Preparedness" among the is pupils of the High school. was present .] ed by HenryL. Ellerbe to Benjamin Hus !i bands. 'r Many noted school teachers and oth 1. er authorities have said that the dis cipline of the Manning school is the Is bvs they have ever seen. Perhaps it - is on t is foundation that the other no k tab'e successful features of the school were built The town of Manning is Lrdonabiy proud of her Graded and ,h School. A. S. T. n Fair Premiums. d The following, are a few of the prem le iutms offered to the Clarendon County Poultry Association: The Bank of Manning, The Bask of Clarendon, The Home Bank & Trust Co., The People's h Bank, and the Aicolu R. R each offers a silver cun. The following offers money: Capt. Thomas Wilson $10, Mr. J. McD. Mc ' Faddin S5, Mr. N. G. Broadway $5, Hon. Ri,:hard S. Whaley $5, Katzoff's Bargain Store offers a 42 piece china e dinner set. These are only afew of the premiums offered so far. The list will be com plete within the next few days, and we hope to have a zreat deal more to ioffer, but it seems to me that these s. premiums are well worth working for, r. and 1 hope to see as many as possible try for these premiums this year. It Ld will be well worth our trouble even, if a we do not win. 11 Plant Plenty of Forage Crops at This Time. Now is the time farmers should be planting their forage crops that will Wtake the place of corn and fodder, We want to get away from that dangerous method of fodder pulling which so omany of our, so called intelligent farm iers pract ice. It has been proved be vond anv doubt that this practica is a ebad one, and let us get away from that 2e method at once. We all know that we Oloose anywhere from 35 to 50 per cent efof the value of our corn by pulling the fodder off. Then why should we keep t' right on doing a thing that we know e- w.e are ioosing money on. From ac s~ tual experience, my advice to you is, m soo this method at once. SNow is the time for you to plant ea- vour stuble and idle lands in summer e imes. such as caw peas, soey beans. 6 evet beaus, etc. Plant olenty of (. razing crops for late summer and fall ~rain. Keep plenty of good grazng orfor your cattle and hogs all the year, and'you vill not need the corn fodder. or Summerton to Have a Big Day. at Summerton is to have a permanent ce park and play ground for the childrer t- and vouing boys and g irls to hold their al atheletic xneet at.

North Carolina and Tennessee at ditTerent intervals since she was fif- * teen years of age to the effect that she I was suffering from ulcerated stomach d and gall stone, gives a vivid illustra tion of what Tanlac is daily accomplish ing for like sufferers. She had stomach trouble all her life, was prone to fits of vomiting and was S absolutely lacking in appetite, After E taking only two doses of Tanlac, she de clares, she ate the first food that she had eaten in sixteen weeks. "I suffered from stomach trouble all my life," states Mrs. Johnson. "When S I was two years old I was given up by b my physicians to die, and again when V I was fifteen years old. I have had, according to eminent medical advice in Virginia, North Carolina and Tennes see, gall stone and ulcerated stomach, and they finally said an obstruction in u my stomach. On consulting medical T advice in Charleston, I .was informed J that it was impossible to state just what the trouble was. "The most distressing symptom was vomiting. For sixteen weeks before I took Tanlac I was unable to retain any S thing on my stomach-not even medi- si cine or -raw eggs. I was told that I would have died for lack of nourish ment if I had not been so stout I weighed 227 pounds before T took sick, and I have really lived on superfluous flesh for body nourishment. My hus band bal given up all hope. One ev ening recen:ly I remarked how badly and emaciated 1 looked. Mr. Johnson r burst out crying, ana said, "Lucy, dont say that. Just think! One month ago I thought you would die. I had given" up all hope, and here you are nearly well. "It is true. I have taken a little ov er three bottles of Tanlac. After tak ing only two doses-now, dont laugh, it is a fact-after I had taken two dos es ate the first food I had eaten in sixteen weeks. I consider that won derful indeed. I am now eating near ly everything I want. 1 have not vom ited since I took my second dose of Tan lac and I am feeling much stronger. "I certainly do reccommend Tanlac for what it has done for me. I had nearly given up hope, and Tanlac has done what I didn't think any medicine or pbyaician could do. It is simply won derful. I cannot say enough good things about it."

The first practical test of the endur ance of reindeer and their ability to traverse any part of the country under the most unfavorable circumstances, with the temperature at times lower than that experienced by many of the Arctic expeditions, was made in 1808. 1 The train, consisting of ninei sledges and 17 head of deer, started .from Teller station in the dead of winter, with the thermometer at 45 degrees below zero. Native trails and well known . sections of the country we purposely avoided. The trip of mor~ than 2,000 miles was made in a little less than two weeks-with a loso but two deer.

Manning, S C. June 3. 1916 Watch Out For Red Spider. The attention of tho farmers are re minded or the fact that the Red Spider is one of our most serious insect pest on cotton that we have, and I nave found them very prevalent in every I section of the county on the plants which they live over winter on. that is violet and the poke root or poke weed. Now. I think it advisable for every farmer to destroy all the v olets around his placE; and a!so go over tour place thoroughly and see to it that no poke root plants are left standing Tbis is z of great importance, and it should be done at once, so do not delay. If you do not care to destroy the vio lets around the yard, which would be the surest plan. you may spray the vio lets with commercial lime-sulphar, 1 gallon of the solution to 30 or 49 of water, and be sure thbat yot spray thor oughly.a . But by all means get the vio lets and poke root from around the farm, and I think the safest plan would be for you to dig up the violets around the yard. I have never seen more red spiders before, f:-r the time of year that we ow hav,-, and I think it best that we okc nto the matter at once. J. R.

H CAROLINA IN PATHETIC WRECK WRITER TELLS OF SEEING RUINS OF REIMS CATHEDRAL Beautiful Structure Damaged Beyond Hope of Repair, Though Parts of It Miraculously Escaped the Geheral Destruction. A correspondent of the London Standard, visiting the French front gives his impressions of the wardam ged cathedral of Reims. "The spec ter of the cathedral looms up out of the mist with Turneresque effect as" we -top the Reims chain of hills," he writes, "and in ten minutes we are in bont of the statue of Jeanne d'Arc, which stands unscarred over against he Wrecked porticos. The Maid of rleans seems to have bequeathed to ier stone image the charm she en toyed against the shafts of war, as the treet leading up to the square and he walls of the 'Lion d'Or' are pitted, when not badly torn or altogether ihattered by shell splinters. Thirty eet high around the basement, the nasonry of the cathedral :s shielded with sandbags, but not one of the statuettes that fill the interstices be ween the pilasters seems to have The interior, he says, Is fi11ed with in indescribable cold and entering It , a reminiscent of Egyptian buried temn ples. Swept into many heaps are what the verger calls "tears of lead'.' rhese are the settings of the stained lass windows. Only one of a triple et of colored windows remains al nst Intact over the entrance to the acrsty. In the center aisle opposite lie principal pulpit there is also a :rucifix that none of the shells has ouched. "All of the rest is more ir less ruin," says the correspondent. 'This is the more extraordinary be ause in the roof there is a hole carcely larger than a man's hand; ut the shock was sufficient to reduce he interior to chaos." One instance if escape frem wreckage is de cribed as a freak that Is almost a niracle. "Facing a huge cham 20 eet square in the north wall in an iner passage," says the writer, "Is a avely bas-relief of the visit of the fagi, framed in a pure .Gothic arch ray, as fresh .looking asif it aad. ut left the hand of the sculptor of ye centuries agc," "Before we leave," he continues, we are taken to the "museum," as It Sstyled-a forlorn collection of res ued debris. It is curious to find here ,hundred or two of the heads .and. mbs missing from the outside stat es and statuettes. They look as If tey had been guillotined by the Ger ins; perhaps It is because the necks re the slenderest parts of the Images, ut it is almost tragic, although they re but stone. Here is the 'Sourire e Reims,' the famous woman's head Lat stood over the north door. It was. osed abroad that it had been smug led away and sold to an American illonaire, but there is no mistak ig the 'Smile' as It lies, brown and hipped, qn a bench-both eyes and Le nose gone, and only the under p curving upward. It is as If the atures had been sliced off with a nife." What Scenario Writers Are PaId. In the American Magazine Walter richard Eaton has an article on the Loving picture industry in which he ys: "No more than three years ago any scenario writers were getting 15 a week, and they were expected >turn out a picture every seven iys. Pictures purchased from out de were paid for correspondingly, Sat even lesser rates. Bear in mind, so, that no royalties were (or are) kid. Do you suppose for a moment at any man with a real talent for ory telling would give a second tought to motion picture writing un ir such conditions? "Times are better now because the sen competition has forced up ices, but the returns to the authors 'e still in ridiculous disproportion to e salaries of the actors and the to I cost of the production. An aver e scenario writer may now get from .00 to $200 a week. At such a scale, >ung men of talent may possibly be One of Nature's Wonders. A feature worthy of note Is the and canyon of the Rio Grande, ich has been given the name of the myon of Santa Helena. It Is of the x type, with solid, perpendicular l1s. At the head of the canyon ese walls are 500 feet high, at the )th 1,500 feet, showing a surface mt of 1,000 feet. Cres Golds: Prevents Piaeimii9s -
