Cotton. Without manure the same field
would not have yielded half this amount.
Rows left through the field, without ma

to Corn at the rate OF about 100 pounds
per acre. Its effect was more marked than
a handful of Gotten Seed on each side Of

Nancy Elliott Creates Panoramic
Sensation.

Nancy Elliott Creates Panoramic
Sensation.
The Columbia correspondent of the
Chronicle G Sentinel, under date OF the
23d, says:
Mr.. f. w. Warren, Manager of the
"Pilgrim" Panorama, was arrested here
last night under warrant issued at the
instance of Congressman r. B. Elliott,
charging violation of the civil rights
bill, in refusing to allow the State Con-
gressman's wife and other colored 1emaIes
to occupy seats among the whites. He
was held to bail in $1,000 for his appear
ance at the February term of the Court
of General Sessions. The sable Congress,
man declines all compromise, and should
the case go to trial, it is thought that
there will be some rich developments in
regard to the general status Of the ag-
grieved Madam Elliott. The Panorama
men evince pluck and determination to
fight the issue, and have the sympathy
OF numbers of the citizens.

Let it be Always Remembered in
His Favor

OF the Edgefcld delegation in the
House of Representatives, Lawrence
Cain alone voted that Scott and Parker
should be impeached. This was done
like an honest man, and fearless one,
and should certainly be set down to his
credit by the people of Edgefeld.
Barker and Kennedy wsre absent when
the vote was taken.
Harris, Rivers, Lee and Gardner voted,
with eyes wide open, that thieving and
corruption should not only go unpun-
ished, but should continue to grow and
flourish.
