Letter from Greeleyville.

Editor Manning IGnaes:-A few light
frosts have served to check vegetable
growth, and the succeeding rise in
temperature tells US that the Indian
Summer is upon us. We enjoy the
warm sunshine, glowing sunsets, and
delicious atmosphere, without the fear
of malaria or expense of voyage to
Italy.
Farmers are gathering the fruits OF
their toll. Food crops are more prollf-
ic than usual, and, thanks to the Far
mer's Alliance, owners of gins prepare
cotton for market, and deliver it to
railroads ready for transportation, for
less money than ever before.
In some places wagon roads have
received more attention than usual,
and when men get their minds well
off the jute and tariff questions, it is
hoped they will then abate the nui-
sance of bad roads, which, after all, is
q greater tax upon farmers than jute
and tariff combined.
The portion of Black river within
Williamsburg county is now crossed
by four bridges. Soon another will be
built at GLANDS Old Ferry" where
Marion's men crossed and got ahead
of the British in their retreat after the
battle at the Clover Bridge" This
last bridge was so called to distin-
guish it from the bridge higher up the
stream at Kingstree.
Recently negro man went from
this. section to Manning carrying
with him few dollars He returned
with his system and flask well
charged with whiskey, and an empty
pistol. In meddling with a mule his
flask was emptied, but his system was
not so fortunate. Pistols and TASKS
are harmless things in themselves.
The evil lies in the loading and un-
loading, always excepting mules
way of unloading a flask. When
men, pistols, and whiskey get well
mixed up together, the pistols charged
with lead and powder, and the men
with whiskey, the combination beats
jute tariff and bad roads all to pieces.
"Woe be to him who puts the bottle
to his neighbors mouth
Latterly there has been a large
number of cases Of illness than usual
in this section. Mrs. W. J. Ferrell
died last Sunday after months of suf-
fering from cancer of the stomach.
A large concourse attended her bur-
ial at Mount Hope Baptist church,
the funeral services being conducted
by her pastor Rev. W. 81. Workman.
Mrs. DuBose is quite sick at the
home of her mother, Mrs. Nettles.
Her disease is pronounced typho-ma-
larial fever, contracted at her home
in Darlington county. Owing to an
attack of sickness, Miss Alvena Keels
has suspended the exercises of her
school at Greeleyville. Mr.. Tom Ho-
gan has been suffering with catarrh-
al affection, but is now better.
Rev. j. S. Porter has just closed an
interesting and edifying religious
meeting at st. Marks.
The home at Hopedale is now en-
livened by the cheering presence OF
two of Manning's fair maidens, Misses
Lou Higgins and Fannie Burgess.

What others Think.

a travelling detective writing to
the Pendleton Oregonlan, from
Salem, says;
"l think the Oregon penetentiary
is one of the best managed insti-
tutions in the United States. Irons
are never used here on the shoul-
ders and legs of prisoners, nor is
solitary confinement resorted to
except in extreme eases. To my
surprise the prisoners all work faith
fully under the supcrintendence of
Warden McKinnon. The success
ful way he controls So many crimi-
inals is worthy of public notice and
commentator The condition of
the Oregon penitentiary has sur
prised the travelling detective who
makes business of secretly inves-
tigating the prison affairs of differ
ent states"

Sm0kprs Heart.

Within the past twenty years the
medical faculty has come to clearly
comprehend aud to accurately dag
onise disease which they now de-
nominate as "smokers heart" EX-
cessive smoking, whether with pipe,
cigar or cigarette, affects the action
of the heart and disturbs the circu-
lation. The pulse will intermit-
not with anv regularity-some-
times one beat in four, some
times two or three beats at time
and then comes trouble. The brain
missing its regular pulsation OF
blood, wavers, the heart flutters and
then follows n temporary collapse,
strong cordials are indicated,
Strong coffee is good-strongspirits
are better. But the remedy too often
applied is worse than the disease
and the subject grows slowly worse.
Angina pectoris is sometimes said
to result. One of the leading ply
sicians relates n case In point. A
patient suffering from smokers
heart believed that he had q
chronic heart disease and came fol
careful examination early-before
he had eaten any breakfast. The
stechoscope showed the heart to he
rs sound as n dot-he had not
smoked for twelve hours. Greatly
relieved at the verdict he lighted {
black cigar and sat smoking Oh M
empty stomach while he talked
In II few moments he rose To go, his
feet failed him and he fell in II mo
mcntary faint. The heart was HUT
tering wildly, but yielded at once
aud resumed ITS normal action after
a strong stimule mt.

The Craze for CITY Life.

One hundred years ago our lead
ing men, our men of wealth and
culture, were nearly all country
gentlemen. Now the members Of
the governing classes nearly all live
i'm towns and cities, except in the
South which still continues to send
farmers to the legislature and to
congress. But for the South the
farmers of the country would be
almost unrepresented at Washing
ton. We must change the drift of
things if we would see our people
enjoy the fullest measure Of pros
perity and happiness. This craze
for town life is all wrong. If half of
our ambitious young men who are
living in shabby genteel way in
the profession and in drygoods
stores would put their brains and
energy into farming our country
districts would soon become tbickly
settled, and, with well titled
farms, comfortable modern cottages,
and good roads, life outside Of towns
would be in every way superior to
to the mode of existence found
within the walls of our crowded
cities. The towns do not need an
influx of population from The coun-
try, but the country needs lot of
town people to take hold of the
farms and produce something. We
can get along with less lawyers
and dry-goods clerks, but we need
more farmers-we need their pro-
ducts, their healthy influence, and
their aid i'm running the Govern
ment.

ACCUSTOMED as communities are
to the scandalous trifling with The
names Of women by sensational
newspapers, this bit Of ethics laid
down by the Memphis Avalanche
seems refreshing:
The practice of retailing scandal
Gus gossip is becoming entirely to"
common IN Memphis, and if 1t II
not stopped somebody is going t.
yet badly hurt. The time was here
when men would have been ashamt d
TO indulge in such talk, and when
n breach In u woman's character
was usually patched with death
dealing lead. II seems that IN get
ting away from traditional Southern
customs we are also laying aside the
Southern ideas OF honor and respect
for women. A harmless word or
act of q woman may easily be re
ported on the street corner In such II
way as to east suspicion upon her,
and woman once suspected Is hall
damned. The outlook at present
promises iirst-class killing or two
In the near futur4, and when the
time comes and the blood Is split
every right minded manand woman
In the community will say it was
well split. notwithstanding our
progress" the punishment for the
slanderer of women in tins country
still IL death. A number Of more or
less prominent men and dudes will
do well to make note of the fact.
