BRAVE SCHOLARSHIPS.
What Becomes of Regimentai Musicians
 in Times of War.

in Times of War.
 The majority of people imagine that every band accompanies it's regiment wherever it goes for the purpose of keeping up the good spirits of the soldiers, of supplying tolerable har- mony for the better digesting of the officers dinners, and in the case of actual conflict to inspire the men with enthusiasm and incite them to acts of heroism compared with which Tyr taus-with his flutes and verses in- flaming the ardor of the Spartans, so that they cut in pieces the whole army of the hitherto unconquerable Mes sinians-is quite outrivaled. Nothing of the sort. Our fine regimental bands are not taken to the battlefield, and to suppose that Tommy Atkins ex- pires to the strains of "Men of Har- lech," or Bonnie Dundee" is to per- petuate fallacy which many an old widow with scapegrace son could dispel What real fighting would be to full orchestral accompaniment I can not judge, but it would certainly be no inglorious end to blare tuba in the face of an enemy until an obstru- ent ball chozed it's funnel or created a vacuum in the neighboring bass drum! It is the trumpeters and buglers of the cavalry, and the buglers, drum mers and fifers of the infantry only who go on active service in a musical capaci- ty, and then the bandsmen and band sergeant are deputed 70 the ranks, their instruments being returned into stores for safe custody until the piping times of peace. The trumpet major and trumpeters of the cavalry, and the drummers, buglers and fifers of the in- fantry join their respective troops, re- taining their instrumental duties in the field, but the other bandsmen are trained as stretcher bearers and to as- sist the medical staff generally in the care of the wounded. If circumstances warrant it both cavalry and infantry mu- sicians are liable to be called upon for ordinary soldiers duties, and they are so trained when at home. Occasionally even the bandmaster goes on active service (though more often he has to remain at home instructing backward men and boys unable to bear arms), and the case of the bandmaster of the Twenty fourth South Wales Borderers, who was killed at Isandula, as well as the promotion of the bandmaster of the Sixty-ffth Cork and Lancaster) regiment are recent instances of this. The latter, Mir F. H. Mahony, was appointed Quarter-Master in this regi- ment and was mentioned in dispatches and promoted honorary Captain for his distinguished conduct at the bat ties of Fl Teb and Tamai The bands of the Guards and other stationary regiments are never ordered away for active service, either in the ranks or as bandsmen, which may, or may not, be reason why men are so anxious to get into these particular bands National Review.

Got Them On the List.

It having been reported at New Orleans that a list of fifteen hundred names, in- cluding newspaper correspondents, rail
 road and telegraph people and spectators at the recent Sullivan Kilrain fight had been forwarded to Mississippi, and that all parties concerned would be held to answer for violating the laws of that State, a correspondent at Jackson was in
 structed to ascertain, if possible, from Governor Lowry, the scope of the prose- cution, and whether or not the spectators would be proceeded against but the Gov ernor declined to be interviewed on the subject in advance of the action of the authorities of Marion County. The Gov ernor said, however, that he might have something to say on the subject in few days. He thinks the report exaggerated

Miss Mary S. NettleS.

Died, at the home of, Rev. A. Net

his only sister, Miss Nettles was born
in Summerville, Aug. IL, 1903. The
burial will take place in the Manning

"wednesday.
Since girlhood Miss Nettles had been
a member of the Methodist Church,
and the Saviour of heryouth did ''not
leave or forsake" when old age and in
trinity came. She saw many sum-
mers pass, many harvests end, broth
ers and sisters we're stricken by the
grim messenger; she lived her Ethree
score years and ten, but at last, when
well-nigh weary of waiting, the sum-
mons came.
Quietly, even as a child, did she
"fall asleep" In her cofined home
she looks like one who has wrapped
the drapery of her couch about her
and lain down to pleasant dreams. To
the bereaved ones we extend our sin
cere sympathy. A FRIEND.

A Card from Trial Justice BenbOW.
MANNING. S. c.. Oct. 18th. 1889.

MANNING, 5. o., Oct. l4th, 1889.
Mr.. ED1roR:-Do me the justice to
state in your next issue, the reason
assigned by me for not issuing war
rant of arrest against Hurst at the
instance of Smith, you having been
fully informed at the time, and your
condensed statement is calculated to
mislead the public and thereby injure
me as an officer.
It is ve,y important in writing out
such items of news to be particular
in presenting all of the facts, SO the
public (before whose tribunal we are
summoned to appear) may be enabled
thereby to reach fair, honest, aud
just conclusion. AS any withholding
of any part connected Herewith has
tendency to influence prejudiced
minds against an officer however pure
and honest his intention may have
been, as the world is prone to believe
erz and not good. Believing that
it was not your intention to injure
any one by withholding the potent
reason actuating and governing me
in this instance, I trust you will give
this card publicity. Truly yours,
2. G.. BENBow,
Trial Justice.

How it Will be Done.

Five prominent gentlemen from different
sections of the county will be requested to
give away the prizes in the following man
ner, which is exactly the same plan used at
our last Grand Gift Distribution the 4th Of
last July:
These gentlemen will place in one box
number of tickets eqnal to the number of
subscribers who have paid up to Sep. l,
1890, all of which tickets will be blank ex-
cept the prize tickets. They will then place
in another similar box an equal number Of
tickets, containing the names fthe paid up
subscribers, one name on each ticket After
the tickets have been carefully inspected
and placed in the boxes, they will be thor
oughly shaken up and mixed together, un-
til the committee is satisfied that everything
is fair and Just Then the drawing will
begin. Two little boys about four or five
years old will be blindfolded, and one will
draw from the box containing The namc5 of
the paid up subscribers and the other from
the box containing the tickets. The COM
mittee Will at every drawing Zone from each
box) inspect the tickets that have been
drawn and announce the result. For in
stance, suppose the little boys have each
drawn ticket from their respective boxes.
The name drawn by one little 10y is Always
Loseum, and the ticket drawn by the other
is blank. That means Mr.. a. Loseum has
failed to secure prize. The little boys draw
again. The name is Lucky Fellow, and the
prize ticket has SO in gold on it. That
means Mr.. L. Fellow has secured the slOin
GOLD for his prize. The drawing will thus
continue till all the prizes have been given
away.
This plan seems to us as fair as possible,
and to have the least objections. Our sub
scribers may rest satisfied that everything
Will be done in fairness.

Good NIGHT.

How tenderly and sweetly falls the
gentle goodnight" into loving hearts
rs members OF a family separate and
retire for the night. What myriads
of hasty words and thoughtless acts,
engendered in the hurry and business
OF tie day, are forever blotted out by
its benign influence. Small token,
indeed, but it is the little courtesies
that make up the sum of a happy
home. 1t is only the little courtesies
that can so beautifully round off the
square corners in the homes Of the
laboring men and wonen. The SIM
pie II thank you" for favor receiv-
ed, will I'LL with happiness the heart
of the giver. True wealth is not es-
timated by dollars and cents, but by
the gratitude and the affection Of the
heart. Ii a home be happy, it is of
heaven the truest symbol. If a home
be happy, whether the owner posses
ses a patch of ground or thousand
acres, they who live there are indeed
wealthy beyond mathematical calcu-
lations. Then how much more low
ingly are the sable folds Of night
gathered around the happy home.
How much more confidently do its
members repose their weary body in
the care of Divine Goodness, smooth
ing their over-taxed minds to the liv-
ing realities of beautiful dreamland.
