highest price.
1 notice in last weeks edition, on the
branch railroad, you seem to want to leave
Summerton ont of the route. We'll, don't
blame you much, for expect your trip
down here convinced you it would not be
any advantage to Manning for the road to
come by Summerton, but am sure it would
be greatly to the advantage of the road; SO
I say let the ditch be cut, and let the water
take its course.
The machinery for the oil mill is coming
in, and we hope to be ready for ginning in
short time.
Business is brisk and the merchant seems
to be happy.
Cotton is shipped from this place on the

A Visit TO Bradlam's Gins.

Mr.. D. NJ. Bradham has his gin
ming establishment in first class run
ming order, and is prepared to do all
the ginning he can set. He has three
sixty-saw gins; one Smith gin, one
a Pratt, and a new Winship he has
just bought at a cost of $500. These
are all new gins, each fitted up with
self-feeders and condensers. Mr..
Bradham says it takes just l6 min
utes to gin a bale Of cotton, and that
his gins will gin the cotton as fast as
it can be taken from the wagons. He
ginned 18 bales last Saturday before
dinner. The cotton seed is carried
by cotton seed delivery to a plat
form, where it can in few minutes
be shoveled into the wagon; or Mr..
Bradham will buy the seed, or ex-
change cotton seed meal for it. MIR.
Bradham is well fitted up for the bus
mess.
He has Just completed, opposite his
gin, large livery, feed, and sale sta
Bile, which he expects shortly to open.
The stable is nicely and conveniently
constructed, and will be quite an ad-
dition to the convenience Of the town.
Mr.. Bradham has, also, a grist mill,
which is running every day. He has
saw mill but it is used marc es-
pecially to cut lumber for his own use.

News ffJnt Jordan.

JORDAN, Sep. lG. LIilor Times: no
tice Sufferer letter in your last issue IN re-
CARDS to roaI,. Since we have enjoyed a
ride over o ,r road where Mr.. 81. A. Tisdale
workedit, we have become reconciled and
hereby withdraw our charges; therefore,
Mr.. Tsdale will not be asked to appear be-
fore the grand jury And, furthermore, we
will not swap him off with Sufferer for his
man: we have resolved to give him another
trial No, sir; We can't swap. We have
ever got the worst in horse trade, and we
are afraid our old luck would follow us if
we were to swap our road bosses. While
Sufferer has our sympathies we can't let
him have our man. Mr.. Tsdale worked
five instead Of four days, as Sufferer has it,
but then we will let bygones be bygones. He
will do better in future.
We are glad to see much activity spring
ing up around US. Our business men are
smiling; we are blessed in many ways;
peace reigns supreme in our community;
religion is alive; business prosperous; good
crops; good neighbors; the best school. Miss
McLeans school has grown to such proper
tons as to require an assistant, and to meet
that demand we have been very fortunate
indeed in securing the services Of Miss
Susie Lesesne, of this place. We brag on
our school every time.

Foresion Afraid of Lightning.

FosEsroN, Sep. 10.-Elitor Times: We
have had great commotion in town. Some
lightning rod men came here and talked
one of our citizens into having lightning
rod put on his house. All were surprised
to see it, but these lightning rod agents are
great takers, they can beat a sewing machine
agent or life insurance agent. When the
thing was discovered sticking up on the
house, you ought to have seen his neighbors
packing up and preparing to move. Enquiry
was made why they were moving. They
said they were afraid those things would
bring the lightning here and it might hit
them. They are ugly looking things to us
people who haven't been round much.
Guess tho we will have to get accustomed
to them for the men say everybody is going
to have them. If they do it will be good
thing for house carpenters repairing light
ming struck houses.
All other things are moving on quietly
here: cotton picking, ginning cotton, cut
ting hay, and cross ties. PIG.

AN IMPORTANT ELEMENT

Of the success uf Hoods Sarsaparilla is the
fact that every purchaser receives fair
equivalent for his money. The familiar
headline 100 Doses One Dollar" stolen by
imitators, is original with and true only OF
Hoods Sarsaparilla. This can easily be
proven by any one who desires to test the
matter. For real economy, buy only Hoods
Sarsaparilla. Sold by ell druggists.

A Williamsburg constable went to
arrest a negro near Greens, on the
G. & ". R. R., one day last week, on
warrant charging him with hog
stealing. Tne negro said he wouldn't
60 with the constable, possibly cursed
at him, and the constable then shot
him down as dog. Such acts are
cruel, and cannot be characterized
| otherwise than as cold blooded MUIR
der. The constable was not even
been arrested.
Rigby's horses, while standing in
the lot in rear of his store last
Wednesday afternoon, became fright
ened and dashed of: At Loyns's cor
ner they left the wagon complete
wreck, and with the tongue of the
wagon continued their course up
street. At the Presbyterian church
they separated, one taking the tongue
of the wagon and turning the corner
dashed madly on through the church
yard, and reaching five foot fence in
front of Senator Rhame's house dash
ed through it, splintering the boards
into a thousand pieces. He dashed
right on, till he came to a low fence
surrounding the flower garden, in
which several small children were
playing, when he stopped. The wag-
on tongue was then between his legs.
Had the horse continued through this
ward, with the tongue attached to
him, it is not improbable that se7era!
of the children would have been seri-
ously injured, possibly killed. The
horse was considerably injured, but
not damaged.

A Great Event.

Wyoming Territory, after twenty
years experience of woman suffrage.
has adopted State constitution which
guarantees personal, legal and political
equality to women. This is the great
est event that has occurred in American
history since the Declaration of indie
pendence and the adoption of the Fed
eral Constitution. Only the Emanci-
patton Proclamation and the Fifteenth
Amendment approach it in Importance.
But while those great acts emancipate6
and enfran, hised race, tho act
of Wyoming emanGpates and enfran-
chises the better half of mankind. 1t
establishes. for the first time in history,
true Republic based upon the divine
declaration of right; "God made man
in his own image; male and female Gre
ated He them and gave them dominion. !"
Twenty years hence, the worldwide
significance of this event will be moro
fully recognized. -Womans Journp'

FREEDOM FOR WOMEN.
Free Suffrage for Free Women In a FREQ
Country.

Free Suffrage Tor Free women In FREQ
Country.
1t does seem, says writer in the
Christian Advocate, that il Is not in tho
spirit OF our free government u ques-
ton at all of enfranchising the women.
but one OF DISTINGUISHING them? The
answer is easy enough why we disfran-
chise idiots and criminals and barbara
ans, but when one undertakes to answer
why we would disfranchise the women
he is sure to stammer and irrelevantly
twaddle about 'women's sphere
Women all over our country have
taken their chance for existence with
the men. They are driven into all oc-
equations from sheer necessity, and we
willingly let them go on unmolested
with their toll; but the moment they
reach for the ballot in social self de-
tense we become suddenly nervous and
solicitious OF their delicacY and femin-
unity. Is it not little ludicrous,
through Who constituted us lords of
creation. such lordly lords, anyhow?
A trite but pertinent question.
The result or effect OF women's votes
has no moro to do with the question
than the result of mems votes And to
say that women ought not to help to
mako laws because men only can en-
force them. as was urged by a promi-
nent anti-sutfrage woman in answer TO
Miss Frances Z. Willard. is no reason
why they should not exercise such
rights as citizens any more than it
would be for men TO mako laws that
other men would not enforce. The ar
gument is foreign to the issue-but it
is in keeping with all of Thorn.
1t might in this connection be well
to ask, Why in this free country should
we ever be afraid OF freedom; unless 1t
is that u little freedom--like IA little
learning--is dangerous thing? Teen
let us go in for free suffrage for free

the daily press, says: There are
about hundred species of mosquito
in the world, occurring in all climes.
Eight or ten species have been known
to inhabit England for more than
fifty years-in fact. since they were
first studied. No new species to
Britain have been recorded for more
than fifty years. No specially tropical
species has ever been recorded as
having occurred in Britain, but one
of our well-known British species has
recently been recorded from Mexico.
