Poisoned with Malaria.

Mr. S. D. Price, a native Of this
State, but now a prominent and infu-
entail citizen of Dallas, Texas, writes
under date of April -, 1889: "About
three years ago was living in ma
larial district OF Georgia, and while
there frightful sores broke out all over
my body. The poison in my blood
was so bad that it ruined my health
and prostrated me. I was at length
so reduced in health, and apparently
incurable, after taking large quanti-
ties of different medicines prescribed
by my physicians, that they, as a last
resort, advised me. to 60 to Hot
Springs, as it was the only chance of
recovery left, and in this they express
ed their serious doubts that would
derive any benefit from the trip. I
went to Hot Springs, and while there
took thorough course OF medicine
under the physicians, which seemed to
benefit, but did not cure me, for in
one month after my return the malady
reappeared. I Immediately began
taking S. S. S., which made me per-
manent!y well-well from 1856 until
now"

Ephriam Thompson, a train hand on the
local freight on the Central road, while
coupling cars on Friday evening last, had
his right arm SO badly mashed that it had
to be amputated above the elbow. Dr.
Mood assisted by Drs China and Baker
performed the operation. The patient is
doing well.
Ancrum Slater, colored, former slave of
Col. H. E. L. PEBBLES, fell in the fire in a
fit few nights ago at his home near State
burg, and was severely burnt about the
hands, face and one knee. The injury
to his hands turned ont to be so severe that
it became necessary to amputate both hands
which was done by DR.. Hamilton Burgess.
Two large and fine engines heve been
brought here for use on the Eutawville road
They are made to burn coal or wood and
have all the recent improvements. Two
new passenger coaches passed through
Augusta the other day belonging to this
road. The track has been extended across
the main line of the W. c. Il A. road, and
preparations are being made to erect the
passenger station, the freight depots and
other buildings, on the ground given by

The Thornwell Orphanage.

The Thornwen Orphanage, in Gin
ton, S. c., though under Presbyterian
care, is open to children of any State
and any faith. It's 76 inmates, (soon
to be 1O0) are from Maryland to
Texas, and from seven different denom-
nations.
The orphans are not only given a
good education, but are also taught
all domestic work and several trades.
Their labors in the kitchen, laundry,
farm, and workshops largely reduce
thg cost of support, which is about S.
a month fol- each child, this including
every expense.
The support comes from the chari-
table.
We suggest to our Christian public
that collections be taken up on Thanks
giving Day for the orphans, or that
liberal donors send their gifts to the
Rev. VIM. P. Jacobs, D. D., Clinton,
S. c., who is at the head of the Insti-
tuition.
We learn that the Institution is now
in pressing need.
WHAT'S done, should be done quick
ly and liberally.

Gen. E. W Noise had his prize acre of
corn gathered and measured on last Friday
in the presence of a committee and repre-

bushels.
AS far as We have been able to learn the
crops Of corn, pease, and potatoes have
turned out well in this county, but the cot

out very short.
Major Ormsby Blanding died at the resi-
dence of Col. J. D. Banding on Tuesday
last. Maj. Blanding was one of the vete-
rams Of the Mexican war in which he bore
himself with conspicuous bravery. AL
though disabled by a wound. he bore the
burdens of life uncomplainingly, and in a
quiet unobtrusive way fulfilled life's duties
conscientiously. A good citizen and faith
full soldier has passed away from earth's
conflicts.

We appreciate the many kind
words to us last week about the TINES.
We are striving to publish good pa
per, and the support given US nerves
us to do our best. Severe sickness
in our family for the past several
weeks has done much to keep US
from doing all we wanted to do, but
never yet was night so dark but that
the day did follow. We had more

and congratulations, than in any 9th

THAT LITTLE TICKLING

In your throat which makes you cough once
in while and keeps yoa constantly clear
ing your throat, arises from catarrh, and as
catarrh is q constitutional disease the ordi-
nary cough medicines all fail to hit the
spot. What you need is a constitutional
remedy like Hoods Sarsaparilla. Many
people who have taken this medicine for
scrofula dyspepsia, loss of appetite, and
other troubles have been surprised that it
should cure this troublesome cough. But
to know the actual cause of the coug gh is to
solve the mystery Many cases of consump-
ton can be traced back to the neglect of
some such slight affection as this. Con-
sumption can be controlled in its early
stages, and the effects Of Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla in purifying the blood, building up the
general health, and expelling the scrofulous
faint which is the cause of catarrh and con-
sumption, has restored to perfect health
many persons on whom this dreaded disease
seemed to have firm hold.

WE NEED COMPETITION.

The Eutawyille railroad was COM
pseted last Saturday as far as M. Lee
Wis place, about FIVE or six miles from
SSummerton. It is likely to reach Da-
sgid Lewis store, opposite Summerton,
this week. They have already begun
hauling cotton, and are competing
with the steamboats,. A bale of cot
TOMS carried by the Eutawville rail-
road from Summerton to Charleston
for SLIPS. A bale of cotton from
Manning to Charleston, by the Central
road costs 80 cents a hundred, or from
$1.50 to $500 bale. The steamboat
carries cotton for $1.04 bale, which
includes Is cents for insurance, and
s cents for wharfage.
Manning thus labors under great
disadvantage in the matter Of freight,
it costing tenth of a cent more on a
bale from Manning than from Sum-
merton. We have also heard it stated
that the Wilson and Summerton road
viii also enter the field of competi-
ton and carry cotton at same figures
as the Eutawville road, $1.25 per
bale.
Our Manning merchants naturally
feel aggrieved at this discrimination
against them, and are very anxious
for the Eutawville road to build a
connecting or branch line to Manning.
AS far as Manning is concerned it
makes no difference whether the line
runs to Summerton or to Thames's;
we want the line: and should the
branch line be built it would get its
full share of the freight traffic of this
place.
Our merchants are very anxious for
this competing line, and they hope it
will be built at once.

Several States held elections yester-
day, and the indications are that the
Democrats have made substantial
gains. It was feared Virginia would
elect Malone governor, but the Dem
ocrats are considerably ahead. The
latest dispatches, 2 o'clock this morn
ing, give New York, New Jersey, and
Virginia to the Democrats, and Ohio
to the Republicans. Malone was ar
rested for shooting young man last
night. The young man was among a
party of Democrats who had gone in
front of Mahone's residence to cele-
brate the Democratic victory.

Ex.Goy. John l.. Manning.

Thursday afternoon, Immediately
after the Ed Scott murder case was
given to the Jury the Judge gave a
Freces~f half hour, for a public
meeting of the citizens of the county
to express their sympathy and loss
on the death of Ex-Governor Man
ming. Rev. 81. NJ. Mood was elected
president; John S. Wilson, Esq, Sec
retary; and Messrs. ]. F. Rhame and
B. P. Barron, vice presidents.
Gen. E. w. Noise, of Sumter, then
read the following resolutions:
WHEREAS it has pleased Almighty God to
remove from our midst our late honored
fellow-citizeu, John Lawrence Manning,
and, whereas, it behooves his fellow-citizens
to express those sentiments which natural
ly move their hearts at so severe an afiic-
ton, therefore be it
Resolued, That the people of South Caro-
lima have lost an able, q pure and truly con-
scientious representative citizen.
ReSolred, That the name Of John L. Man
ning%ill be respected, revered, and honored
by all good men as long as virtue is held IN
high esteem and honored in South Carolina.
Resolued, That no words can express the
sense of personal loss which those must feel
who have enjoyed the high privilege Of
knowing the late John L. Manning as
friend, or even acquaintance.
Resolved, That in every relation of life,
from that of Chief Magistrate Of the State,
to that private station which is known as
the post of honor, the late John L. Manning
has illustrated the worth Of manhood and
the dignity Of high purposes.
ReSo!vetl, That the people of this State
will cherish the memory Of one whose suav-
ity of manners and elevation Of character
are worthy examples for youth to follow
and old age to revere.
ReSolced, That copy of these resolutions
be sent to the family of the deceased, not to
assusge their sorrow, but to ask the privi-
lege Of sharing their grief, as favor, which
should not be denied to any who have known
and loved him.
Gen. Noise in short speech paid
a high and beautiful tribute toxGov.
Manning's worth. He spoke of his
high noble character, his generous
virtues, and his great love for his
State.
The resolutions were seconded in
short speeches by Messrs. NJ. G. Gal
luchat, ". n. Ingram, j. F. Rhame,
B. P. Barron, DR.. S. G. c. Richardson,
Maj. W. F. B. Haynsworth, and John
IS. Wilson.

mously adopted, after which the meet
ing was adjourned.

1t is the peculiar distinction of In
dia that it has been the theatre
of four great religions-Eindooism
Buddhism, Mohammedanism, and
Christianity. The first three have
each had many centuries of opportu-
nifty, and yet Christianity has done
more for the elevation of Indian So
ciety in the last fifty years than dur
ing all the long ages of their domina-
ton. Neither Buddhism nor Moham-
mechanism made any serious impress
sion upon caste, neither was able to
mitigate the wrongs which had been
heaped on woman; Mohammedanisna
rather aggravated them. The ~hor-
rors of the suttee and the murder Of
female infants, those bitterest fruits
of superstition, were left unchecked
till the British Government, inspired
by Christian sentiment, branded them
as infamous and made them crimes.
Even the native sentiment of India is
now greatly changed, and the general
morality of the better classes is raised
above the teaching of their religion.

WEDNESDAY, November 6. 1889.
REV. 4. NETTLES.

Rev. Abraham Nettles died at hls
residence in this place this afternoon
at 2 IL o'clock, after an illness Of ten
days, OF typhoid fever. he was born
near SummerviIe, S. c., June 4, 1908;
joined the South Carolina Conference
st its 49th session, in Columbia, Feb
ruary, 1885; and was superanuated
December, 1875. he was probably
the oldest member of the S. c. Con-
Conference. Rev. DR.. Whitefoord
Smith, Of Woford College, joined the
Conference two years before MI.
Netues; Rev. Samuel Leard and
Rev. David Scale joined the same
year as Mr.. Nettles, but all these
ministers are younger in years than
Mr.. Nettles.
Mr.. Nettles leaves wife and four
children, three of whom reside in this
county, and one in Texas. He has
one brother living, older than he was.
Just three weeks ago, in this place,
an aged sister of his died. She was
eighty-seven years old.
None knew better than the editor
of this paper, the true nobility OF
character and the great loving kind
ness of this grand old man of God.
His aims and aspirations were all OF
q high and lofty character, and his
life was constant benediction to
those around him. He loved his fam
ily, was devoted to them, and endsav-
ored TO raise all his children in the
nurture and fear Of God. Though
Methodist preacher, and working on
small salary, yet he saved enough to
give TO- each the best collegiate edu-
cation the State afforded. An educa-
ton he said was all the legacy he
could leave his children.
MFR. Nettles had not a collegiate ed
ucation himself, but on theological
and doctrinal points he was well
versed having few superiors. He
joined the conference at a time when
Methodism was young and aggressive,
and he made a deep study of the doc
trinss of his church. He believed that
the Methodist theology was the best,
and he SO preached and lived it.
He was resag dis;;~tAhe2Gsght that
the Lord had no further need of his
services below; and was quietly waiting
for the summons to come on high. It
came. It came so quietly, so gently,
SO peacefully, that we, as we stood
bending over his loved form, was un-
able to tell just when his spirit took
its fight heavenward.

In Virginia the Republican candi-
date for governor is making some
startling announcements by way of
bible lessons for negroes. Circulars
with scriptural references are sent out
calling special attention to the l4th,
10th, 18th, 18th, and 18th chapters
of Joshua. In fact the negro is made
to believe he is one Of the seven tribes
which has not received his ,inheri-

sity in every household in the county,

sity in every household in the county,
and nothing but hard, persistent, .n-
ceasing, conscientious labor will ac-
complish this. We are publishing a
newspaper, and our effort is to pub
lish reliable newspaper. We pub
lish the news as we find it, unvar-
nished, but with malice towards no
one. And we publish all the news
we can get hold OF. Again we reiter-
ate our thanks and appreciation for
kind woras and substantial subscrip-
tions, and pledge ourself to make the
TINES a paper OF which the county
may justly feel proud.
The Georgetown Enquirer, Walter
Hazard, editor, has been consolidated
into the Georgetown Times, Josiah
Doar, editor.
Mr.. Hazard is an able and fluent
writer, and published one of the best
newspapers in the State, but George
town county was not able to support
two papers: so one went down. In
his valedictory Mr.. Hazard truthfully
says, "It is impossible for any man to
do full justice to two professions at
the same time. Journalism, no less
than law, is a jealous mistress"
Mr.. Doar has lately greatly improv-
ed his paper, and it now ranks high
it shows work and effort on his part
to publish readable paper: He is
speaking Of publishing semi-weekly,
if he gets sufficient encouragement.
We don't think Georgetown is yet
ready for a semi-weekly. Until a
town supports weekly in handsome
style, it is best not to attempt anything
else. A learned educator once said,
"a good school is better than a poor
college" So a good weekly is de-
cidedly better than poor semi-week-
ly. But Mr.. Doar has a beautiful and
fertile field before him, and will no
doubt reap rich harvest. We wish
the Times all SUCCESS.
