The stock market was much less active to-
day. there being less disposition to trade than
on any day for week past. The news OF the
day was of no special Importance. The denial
that Rock Island intended to leave the Inter
state Association, with unexpected buying or

wiped out every appearance OF weakness at the
opening, and first prices were generally 1sG95
per cent higher than last evenings close.

result was further slight advances in the early

The Delaware Whipping.POst.

Here is what Governor Biggs. of Delaware,
says of certain custom peculiar to his lit
tie State:
ave are old-tashioned people down in
Delaware, and presume we are away be-
hind the times in good many things, and
rather set IN our ways. and that method of
dealing with certain classes of criminals is
one of our ways. Now, am not an apollo
gist for the whipping-post, because I don't
believe that Delaware needs any apologies
to be made for people or her acts, and if I
did they wouldn't come with very good
grace from her executive; but can tell you
some facts.
There is not in the State of Delaware to-
day single penitentiary, If man beats
his wife. Or sets fire to neighbors barn,
or breaks into house, he isn't shut up with
a lot of other criminals, with full time and
opportunity to learn all their tricks of dev-
iltry that he did not know before. As o
preventive of crime the whipping-post has
much greater terror than term in pen
itentiary, and have never known of man
that came back for a second dose. He SIM
ply leaves the State. You may rest assured
that if he stays in Delaware he lives very
quiet life. To be sure it is q relic of bar
barism, but it is our way"
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1889-08-14

the jury brought in a verdict of not
guilty. But the dead constable's
friends believed be was guilty, and
openly, even to the Sheriff, swore
they would kill Yeldell as soon as he
was released from custody. In the
face of this the Sheriff wilfully neg
lected his duty in failing to have the
beligerent parties bound over to keep
the peace. For prudential reasons
Yeldell was kept in jail, and guarded
by the Edgefeld Rifles. CA large
lynching party was lingering around,
waiting for Yeldelps discharge.) He
was acquitted Saturday, and all Sat-
urday night ne was guarded. The
lynching party guarded all the roads
leading out from Edgefeld. There is
a railroad running through Edgefeld,
but it runs no Sunday train, and it is
ten OF twelve miles to the G. C. & A..
Railroad. Finally special train was
fixed up and Yeldell, his counsel, the
the Sheriff, the Solicitor, and the
Edgefeld Rifles left about Sunday
noon for Columbia, via Aiken and
Branchyille. They arrived in Colum-
bia safely, and Yeldell is back in
Pittsburg, acquitted Of murder, but
for all that, guilty of the murder. He
ought TO have been hung.
As we said, a great commotion has
been caused about nothing. The State
has spent nearly or quite thousand
dollars to try the lying rascal, and a
great hubbub raised in the North.
One thing, however, has been shown,
that a negro can get all the protection
be wants, even when the people be
lieve he deserves punishment. But
then South Carolina does not hang
any man. All the murders are in
self-defense, or justiiable.

Farmers Alliance Exchange.

The farmers are dealing with the baggging
trust in the proper spirit. 1t looks now as if
they intend to succeed Their success mesns
death to the bagging trust, their failure q
perpetuation of the impositions OF that
grinding monopoly. All that is necessary to
insure success is unanimity, cohesion and
push. Let the farmers conspire against con-
spiracies, combine against combinations
in other words, Eight the devil with fire"
and the results are not doubtful.
The plan for organizing and conducting
an Alliance Exchange, formulated at the last
Convention in Columbia, unavoidsbly omit
ted from our last issue, will be found in an
other part of this paper. In its general scope
it promises to meet the requirements that
make it almost necessary for the protection
and fostering Of the agricultural interests OF
the country, yet we fear in some Of its feat
nrse it presents difficulties repugnant to safe
and approved business principles. However,
those features are Of minor importance and
will be disclosed and corrected by practical
tests.-Sumter WMctman.

A williamsburg Snake Story.
Kiagstree RecMd.l.

A gentleman and his little son were fish
ing in Lynch's river few days ago, and
after they had caught number. Of fish, a
moccasin swan to the boat, entered it atthe
stern, where the boy was sitting, and began
to help himself to the fish. The boy jump
ed into the water, the father jumped after
him, and left his snakeship monarch OF all
he surveyed" When the owner returned
lie had to fight battle with the snake be-
fore he could get possession of the boat.
The snake was killed and the fish thrown
away.
In the same river, few days ago, gen.
tleman caught a mudfsh which contained
inside of it a whole alligator. We are not
informed as to the size of the fish or gator;
but the above snake and fish stories were
related to US by reliable gentleman.

A great effort has been made to
stir up some great commotion in this
State about murder case, but it
would not materialize. Some twelve
or fourteen years ago white consta-
BILE in Edgefeld county, in endeayor-
ing to make some arrests, was shot
down by band of negroes who were
concealed in house. The warrant
of arrest was for misdemeanor, and
the constable had no right or author
ity to raise a gun in the arrest of the
party, nor should he have, as he did,
attempted to make the arrest at night.
But the constable, attended by FIVE
other white men, all armed, did
attempt to makethe arrest, at night,
and at another mans home. There
were some ten or fifteen armed ne
groes in the house, who, upon the ap-
proach of the constable's party, fred
upon them, killing the constable.
Eight of the negroes have been tried
for their lives and acquitted. There
was an Indictment against ninth
Recently he was recognized in Pitts
burg, Pc, where he had turned
preacher. He was arrested, and Gov.
Richardson issued requisition on
the Goyerno, OF Pennsylvania for his
(Yeldells) return to this State. But
Yeldell had changed his name to
F1emon, and swore he was not Yel-
dell. Gle was preacher but swore
to lie.) He was, however, identi-
fed. The Pittsburg Southern haters
used every effort to prevent Yeldelps
return to the State, raising large sums
of money for him, and using every
possible means to prevent his being
brought back to South Carolina for
trial, but he was after long delay
brought back. He was tried in
Edgeield last week for the murder,
and had some of the ablest counsel
for his defense. The State made out
a poor case, taking into consideration
the acquittal of the other eight, and
