JERrEr HousE-On recent visit to

of the generous hospitality Of Mr.. J.

TowS E1EcT1oS.-On Monday last
the regular election came of for In
tendant and wardens Of Manning, to
serve for the next year.
There was at one time a bright
prospect Of q spirited contest, and the
usual ssbutton holing" in vogue. But
opposition to the old ticket grew
smaller aud beautifully less, and after
the poles opened, it was manifest to
all, that the election of the old Inten-
dant, ". X. Bell, and Wardens, was
reduced to mathematical certainty.
These gentlemen have discharged their
duty well and deserve the plaudits OF
the community.
One pleasing feature OF the day was
the singular unaninity with which
the colored voters of the town Joined
hands in behalf Of the Citizens
Ticket They formed into line, dis
plaving a banner and the names of the
candidates, and marched, headed by
the Manning Brass Band, to the poll
ING place, and deposited their ballots
with lusty cheer.
The following is the vote, which
would have been larger, had there
been any opposition:

Our Intendant, elect, was serenaded
bv the Band before mentioned at his
house; and demonstrated by earnest
persistent cheering (mahing the vel
Kin ring) their good will and conf
dence in the gentlemen who are to
hold the helm of Municipal Govern
ment for the ensuing year.
PaoF1c1ESrs-We are glad to notice
from the report Of General Johnston,
Superintendent OF the State Citadel
Academy, that our young townsman,
!. Ingram Bagnal, has won the dis
tinction of standing third in his class.
It is with pleasure also that we note
the progress of Mr.. Willie Davis, OF
this County, who is there on his first
year term, and by dint of perseverance
and talent, has gained the fourth po,
sition in his class which is a large
one.
This is highly creditable to Claren-
don, and we hope these young men
NAV strive to go still higher up before
the time for their graduation.
The Cott"a Plant for April.
y Every farmer who is not subscrlo-
er to The CoTroS PLANT, the only aS-
,icultural Journal in our State is not
doing himself justice. The April
number is on our table, and brimful
of matter particularly interesting to
the farmer. President McBryde has
a long letter on the test Of the differ
ent varieties of seed made last year at
the South Carolina College-this let
ter itself is worth the subscription
