For the MANNING 1'1MEs.1
Education.

OF all the privileges which it has
pleased Providence to bestow upon
us, there is not one to be valued so
highly as education. 1t is compan-
ion of which no misfortune can de-
prive US, no climate destroy, no enemy
ALLEVIATE or despotism enslave; at
home a friend, abroad an introduc-
tion, in society an ornament. It cor
rects vice, it guides virtue, it gives at
once grace and government to genius.
Without it what is man? A splendid
slave, reasoning savage. What is
this wondrous world, his residence? ? a
mighty maze, and all without a plan;
a dark, desolate, dreary cavern, with
out wealth, ornament, or order.
But light up in it the torch OF
knowledge, how wondrous the transit
ton! The seasons change, the land
scape lives, earth unfolds its fruits,
the ocean rolls on in its magnifcence,
the heavens display their consolidated
canopy, and the grand animated spec
tacle of nature rises, elevated, before
him, its vanities regulated, its mys-.
teries solved. The phenomena which
bewilders, prejudices which debase,
the superstitions which enslave,-
vanish before education.
If man but follow its precepts pure
ly, it will not only lead him to Veto
lies in this world, but open the very
portals of heaven for his admission.

Bearing Each Others Burden.

LHeteens~with unnecessary pain:
For every living soIf there is work to
do, effort to make, sorrow to alleviate.
No day in the short time allotted to
US here should pass without some at
tempt, however feeble, to lessen the
load OF suffering pressing so unequal
ly on the lives of those around us.
All can do some little, and if each
soul that has suffered would take a
share in removing or lessening the
burden of another, life would be 9th
er than it is. An old wliter beauti-
fully says: cali can give smile" :"
How few value smile as they should,
yet who does not know the brightness
which soma faces bring whenever
they appear. The smile Of kindly
recognition, the acknowledgement Of
existing suffering, the free masonry
of endurance, all are conveyed by a
glance, and none can tell how often
the effort to be cheerful has helped a
weaker sufferer to endure.

FoREsroN, Oct. 15.-Mr. F. E.
Flemming, one of the Oldest settlers
Of this town, died at his home here on
Sunday last at 5 o'clock P. NJ, Of gen

Services were held in all the

subject was Christ the way, the way
to knowledge, the way to life, the
way to God and heaven: bow? in his
person as human and as divine.
Quite an interesting case will be
heard in the Trial Justice court this
evening at l o'clock. The parties

Cracks in Pretty W0men'S Lips.

Early in the autumn the winds
cause Gssures or cracks in the lips,
that are not only extremely unpleas-
ant to look upon, but are exquisitely
painful, and by touching them with
your tongue you intensity the pain
very much. Go to the drug shop and
get there an old remedy, so old that
it has the charm Of novelty. It re-
joices in an overpowering Latin name,
but when you ask the druggist for it
in English say you want citron cream;
apply this with your fingers, or soft
linen cloth, and the cooling and heal
ing result that will follow will con-
vince you that even in medicine some
times old things are best.--M T. Sun.

King, and was put in the guard house
till after the verdict of the coroner's
jury, when he was transferred to the
Jail where he now is.
The body of Pearson lay on the
sidewalk, as it fell, from little before
three o'clock till about sunset. A
great many persons came to see It,
About sunset the coroner succeeded
in impaneling jury, and held
an inquest, the verdict being
that Pearson came to his death from
a eunshot wound at the hands of Ed
ward Scott.
The cause of the difficulty is not
known, probably never will be, but it
is thought that Pearson was Jealous
of Scott, believing that Scott was too
intimate with his Pearson's) wife.
Scott, however, denies this charge,
claiming not to have even seen Pear
sons wife for several months.
Pearson's body was taken charge OF
by secret society of which he was
member and was carried to Sumter
Friday for burial. o
The colored people generally are
against Scott for this killing, and
while he was in the guard house
Thursday afternoon a detachment OF
the Manning Guards was stationed
around the guard house to prevent
any possible attempts against Scott.
No demonstrations of any kind were
made, however, and all seemed deslr-
Gus of letting the laws of the land
prevail.
This is the second homicide IN the
history of Manning. The first was
the killing of a Yankee soldier by a
Confederate soldier during the late
war, and happened not far from the
Presbyterian church.

Tom Pearson Shot and Killed by Edward
Scott

Last Thursday afternoon about
three o'clock Edward Scott shot and
killed Tom Pearson, both colored.
The night before in Wolkoviskies bar
room a difficulty occurred between
them about some foul language used
by Pearson, and resulted in Pearson's
striking Scott twice with slung shot,
hitting him first on tue left cheek
bone, about an inch from the tenn
pie, and the second time on the mouth.
Pearson was arrested and put in the
guard house where he staid till the
next day. 1t is said that each party
was using threats against the other:
Pearson that he intended killing Scott
as soon as he got out of the guard
house; and Scott, that if they turned
Pearson out of the guard house he
would haze to kill him. Scott went
all about town talking about having
to kill Pearson, and bought buck shot
and loaded several shells to be pre-
pared. About ten minutes before the
killing Scott was at the post Office to
get his mail when Pearson came up.
rudely jostled him aside, and when
Scott demonstrated with him cursed
him in a foul manner. Scott then at
tempted to shoot him, but DR.. Pack,
who was standing by, caught the gun
and prevented it. Scott remarked
that he reckoned he would have to
kill that niger yet. Pearson went
off making use of some remark about
what Scott had said, and told him
to wait till he came back. In a
few minutes he returned. Scott was
still at the post office, sitting on the
piazza, when Pearson returned with
both hands in his pockets Scott says
he saw a razor in one hand. When
he got about eight feet from Scott,
Scott fired one barrel of his double
barrel breech loading gun at Pearson,
striking him just above and in the
stomach. Immediately he fired the
other barrel as Pearson was falling,
striking him in the back about half
way between the hip and the shoulder.
The two barrels were fired as close to-
gether as possible. Pearson was kill
ed almost instantly, and in falling
jerked his hands out of his pocket
having in the right one razor. Scott
made no effort to escape, but at once
surrendered himself to Policeman

We certainly never publish any
thing in our paper to injure any one.
Our idea of a newspaper is to publish
news as we find it. Maj Benbow told
us he would not issue a warrant
against Hurst, because in the first
plac the negro, Smith, who wanted to
swear out the warrant, was too drunk;
and in the second place because the
Sheriff was not in town, and it was
too late in the day anyway to hold a
preliminary. Smith was drinking we
believe. but we also believe he was
sober enough to know what he was
doing. The sequel shows, however,
that Maj. Benbow acted wisely, as had
the warrant been issued it is probable
it would have been compromised all
the same.-Editor TINES.
