An effort was made last Saturday tc
organize County Farmers Alliance,
but it proved unsuccessful from the
fact that a sufficient number OF sub
alliances hads-5t been organized in
the county. A county alliance must
consist of not less than five sub-alh-
ances. Other sub-alliances will be or
ganized as rapidly as possible, and in
q short time Mr.. Pettigrew will return
and organize the county alliance. We
believe the alliance to be a good
thing, and to teach good and just
principles, but unless the members go
to work with will and determination
to accomplish something, they might
as well join society to grow oranges
in Alaska Work, honest work, is
what the farmer must do to succeed
and work IS what is needed to make
the alliance success. Let every farm
er who is interested join, and join for
the purpose of promoting his and his
fellowman's prosperity. Then the or
ganization will prove success; 9th
erwise miserable failure.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL II, 1889.

What's the matter with the acts OF
the last session of the Legislature? 1t
has been four months since this body
adjourned, and yet the acts have not
been published. Somebody is to
blame, and badly to blame too. These
acts should be published as soon as
possible, within one month after the
adjournment of the Legislature; yet
four months have passed and no acts
yet. An explanatian is in order.
Can't the Columbia Register or the
Meas and Courier throw q little light
on the subject?

Penltentiarv Notes.

COLUMBIA, april 13.-West keeler, color
ed, one of the convicts received from Green
vile county on the 9th of March, made a
break for liberty while working on the Canal
last Thursday morning and was shot by the
guard. He had been convicted of larceny
of live stock and only had one year to serve.
The bullet entered the efship from the rear
and made its exit through the right groin.
He died to-day.
Faraby Singleton, colored, female convict
who escaped from the State convict farm in
Lexington county about two weeks ago and
was recaptured the next day. attempted an
act of fen6ishpess at the same place yes
terday which may possibly consign her to
the gallows. When the squad were about
to leave the stockade for their work in the
field in the morning she secured live coal,
wrapped it in pair of wollen stockings and
put it under the mattress Of one Of the beds
in the stockade, where two other women
were lying sick with the measles. The stock
ade was locked up with the sick women in
it, and but for the presence of one of the
laborers on the place, who discovered the
fire short time after the guard left, they
would inevitably bave been burned to death.
Fortunately he had presence Of mind enough
to break off the hasp and staple of the door
with au axe, and went in and put the fce
out.
Jasper Partlew, colored convict at work
on the canal, committed suicide by jump
ing into the Congaree river while ball and
chain were fastened to him. When brought
here last Saturday he swore he would die
rather than work. To-day he was rolling
dirt in wheel barrow near the edge of the
river, and suddenly rushed forward and
jumped into the water. Eight shots We're
ared at him, unnecessarily however, as he
sank by reason of the weight attached. The
jury held an inGuestand returned verdict
that he vas drowned while attempting to
escape. partlew was sent here from York
vile under FIVE years sentence for larceny Of
live stock. This was his second term. The
first time be escaped in 1878, ana remain ed
at large eight years. and was pardoned the
same year he was recaptrred.

Local Tales Of a Hundred Years Ago.

Mr.. ED1ToR:-About one hundred years
ago times around Manning were very differ
ent from what they are now; and as on the
3Oth of this month the Washington In
augural Centennial will tlke place in New
York, thought it would be well to repeat
some facts with the names Of the parties
connected, that took place in our vicinity in
those early days.
On one occasion the British came TO Mrs.
Ridgill's, on Bell branch (where w. A.
Mahoney now lires), aud ordered her to pre-
pare breakfast for them. She put every
thing to cooking, and went herself to the
cowpen to milk the COW. While milking
Marion's men came in sight. She recognized
her son John, one Of the number: it seemed
that the British also recognized them and
fed, protecting themselves by the house SC
as to avoid battle, and took tire swamp.
The breakfast was prepared for the British,
but eaten by Marions men.
At another time one of Marion's men,
Ab;n Bagnal by name, was a prisoner al
Stateburg, and was informed by the guard
that he was to be shot in fifteen minutes
Mr.. Bagnal watching his opportunity threw
his heavy hat in the guards face and es
capped, reaching his sisters house on bea'
Creek (Mrs. Nancy Ratheld) before daylgh'
the next morning. This Mrs. Nancy Raj
field (nee Bagnal) was the grand mother O
James C. and VIM Strange, now deceased
and the great grand mother of the Strange'
of our county.

the cook is emphatically the Queen Of

they are sensible folk-must defer to
her, for she literally ''rules the

The faded, miserable old maid who
has let the best years of her life go by
while she sat with folded hands wait
ing for somebody to marry her-some-
body who did not appear-wakes up
in her old age to find herself helpless

her father suddenly rouses her to a

Our readers are familiar with the
facts, Of. the Waldrop Lyncbing in
Pickens, in which one M[anse Waldrop,
white man, was lynched by crowd
Of negroes, for criminally assaulting g
thirteen.year-old negro girl and there
by causing her death. This was the
first case in history where negroes
had lynched white man for yiolat-
ing womans chastity, and much inter
est centered around the trial of those
engaged in the lynching. Two Of
them were found guilty and SEN
fenced to be hanged Immediately
petitions from every part of the State
were sent to the Governor. Fifty
two separate petitions signed by near
ly four thousand persons, mostly
white, and number Of personal let
ters from prominent gentlemen, ask
ing for clemency, confronted the Gov
ernor with loud demand for justice.
And he has yielded, by giving them a
free and full pardon. We think he
has acted wisely. The negro had
but done what his more intelli.
gent white friend had by example
taught him; and never had any pun
ishment been visited upon the white
man. It did seem hard TO make the
poor negro suffer for what the rich
white man could do with impunity.
No hanging viii be done, but the
influence will be greater than hang
ing could have produced. Lynchers
have been taught a lesson, and here
after more Difference viii be paid the
law. A pardon was given this time
simply because poor ignorant negroes
had done what more intelligent white
men had done. But warning has
been given, and whether white Or
black, rich or poor, the guilty lyncher,
i convicted in court, viii expiate his
crime on the scafold. The pardon
ing power was well exercised; and we
believe it viii result in less ly1ching
in the future.
The Governor has also commuted
the sentences of Ned C1iss and Thon,-
as Wright, OF Charleston, both color
ed and sentenced to be hanged, to
imprisonment for Life in the State
penitentiary.

What Occupations are 'fGenteel" for q
Woman.

Quise recently we heard a gentle
man state that to educate a woman
TOO highly was a mere waste of time.
According to bisidea, woman was to
be reared, trained, and taught to think
that there was nothing honorable for
her to do in life but to marry. We we're
sorry to think that any one in this
enlightened age should retain such a
benighted theory; for though we be-
heve that woman's happiest and
best career is past in the fulfillment
of g wife's and mothers duties, still
we have so often witnessed the fallacy
of not educating Americas daughters
to support themselves-if it should be
requisite to do so-that we are con-
yinced every woman should be taught
some art or trade early in life. Geni-
rs of course bestows her corrusca-
tons upon few persons; but there is
plenty of work for the daughters OF
the middle classes to do, if parents
will only teach them how to prepare
for the many employments that are
open to them; and if the girls, them
selves, when employment is at their
command, viii only frankly accept il
and bravely work at it, instead o:
maundering pestilent rubbish about
occupations that are not 'tgenteel
For instance, is it not q nationa
shame and disgrace that good cooks
should be so scarce, and that well-to
do people should have bitterly to com
plain that their lives are made bur
den to them by that something
which is pe,petually going wrong il
the kitchen--so wrong, indeed, tha
when especial guests are entertained
the dinner has to be sent in from tht
pastry-cool's?
Every mother should teach he
daughter how to cook, and to cool
cecil, then she will have one unfailins
weapon against poverty, for a gooe
cook is always in demand. A pro
fessed cook IS worth from two hun
dred and fifty to three hundred dol
lars year; and young lady doe
not aerogate from her social position
