An Editor Arrested for Arson.

Mr.. II. S. Cunningham, editor of the
Orangcburg Spectator, has been arrested
and lodged in jail on charge of arson.
Last February the Spectator Office was near.

ing that Mr.. Cunningham is accused of at.
tempting to burn his own Office and resi-,
Gence:
OzANeEBURa, May so the Editor The
Necs and Courier: Our community was as.
founded, to put it mildly, this morning at
the announcement that detective Jones, who
has been here for some time to work up the
case of the fire at Wolfe's house in February,
had developed mis- theory at last and that
Mr.. 81. S. Cunningham, editor Of the Spec
sator, together with Mr.. j. ". CASTOR, then q
printer in the Spectator Office, were accused
of the offence.
This turn to the investigation has pro.
duced profound surprise and Mr.. Cunning
ham hiss received assurances of unshaken
confidence on sill sides. It is believed by
many Of our best people that his innocence
will be amply and speedily vindicated. The
fire had an author and the detective had to
have theory.
Mr.. Cunningham has won golden opin-
ions from our people since he has been
among ns. and several Offers of bail have
already been rendered him by prominent

Plain History.

Swift's Specific is simple vegetable
compound, prepared from roots gath
cred freshly from the forest, and con-
tains nothing of the mineral kingdom,
or any poisonous substance, or any
article at all which comes from the
chemists laboratory.
The formula of the remedy was
obtained from the Creek Indians in
Middle Georgia, by reliable white
men who had witnessed the wonder
full cures made by that tribe of In
dians, of blood diseases. Mr.. Hugh
L. Dennard, of Houston county, Ga,
began using Swift's Specific in 1929
and continued its use all of his
life, and asserted that he had never
known it to fail to cure any case OF
scrofula, blood taint, or contagious
blood poison. This testimony has
been corroborated every day for years.
The present Company was formed in
1879, and have since made known to
the world the virtues of Swift's Spe-
cifc, and to-day it is sold in every
city, town and country store all over
America, Great Britain, and many
other portions of the world.

A Revolutionary Incident Connected With
Ok Swami.

Harper's Magazine for July, 1858. contain
ed q lengthy, graphically written. and nicely
illustrated sketch of Geaeral Francis Mar
ion. It was written by Dr.. Benson J.
Losing, the eminent historian, who has
given Us the Pictorial Field Book of the
Revolution" and other historical works.
Among the many interesting incidents
related in this sketch is one connected with
OK Swamp, a stream with which the people
of Manning are familiar, and in whose i'm
mediate neighborhood the lads AID young
maidens of the town have doubtless often
hunted for stsweet violets" and the pretty
hoaeysuckle. As this Revolutionary Incl
dent will be interesting to many people in
Clarendon, copy it of for the MANNING
TINES. Dr.. Losing says:
"Tarleton now made another attempt to
capture Marion. His legion was at Camden,
and with small troop of horse he set out
from Charleston to meet them on the Con-
earee. Marion was informed Of this move
ment and he resolved to attempt 70 capture
Tarieton before he could effect a junction
Colonel with his whole force was soon in
swift pursuit of the partisan. Through deep
morasses and across n,iry streams they fol-
lowed. until they reached the verge Of the
vast and gloomy Ok Swamp. when, tired Of
the chase, Tarleton exclaimed, Come, my
boys, let Us go back! We will soon 6nd the
Game-cock Of the Catawba (Sumter); but as
for this cursed Swamp Fox, the devil him
self could not catch him The pursuit was
abandoned; and from the gates of Charles
ton to the high hills Of SaRtee Marion re-
manned sole master"

Boreott Jute Baggins and Use Cotton.

We may add to the intrinsic merits Of
cotton bngging others Of an intrinsic nature
Were it universally employed by cotton
producers, market would be found FOL
about 100000 bales of cotton. which would
necessarily have tendency TO raise the
price of the Southern staple. Cotton is the
life of agriculture in the South and must al!
ways hold this position Of supremacy.
Farmers may and should diversity theil
crops, and would thereby add materially tc
their prosperity, but they will always look
to cotton as their main and money-proauc.
ing product. Hence it is to their interest
to use every honorable means for making
that crop as valuable as possible in the
markets of the world. If they would boy.
colt jute in all forms as persistentiy as tea
was once boycotted in Boston, they would
be ridding themselves of o rival and en-
hancing the value Of their own raw mate,

THE MANNING GUARDS.

About two years ago, with consid-
cradle exertion and at q cost of more
than q thousand dollars, the Manning
Guards were organized. The ladies
gave them all the encouragement they
could, and it was hoped the members
would, after such kind and generous
treatment, take an interest in the
company and preserve the organize
ton, but The present outlook is not
the best. A number of the old mem,
bers have grown careless and in6n-
ferent. The officers and some of the
members are making an effort to re-
organize, and they say they are going
TO do it. Those old members who
are tired Of the company will be sl-
lowed to resign, and new men put in
their place.
We hope the organization will be
kept up. A military company in a
town or neighborhood has healthy
influence, and it is impossible to fore
see just when it may be Of greatest
service. We hope as macy as posi-
BILE Of the old members, and as many
new members as possible will meet
Thursday afternoon, May 18th, at Z
O'Clock sharp, and assist in reorganiz-
ing. Don't let the company go down.
Keep it up. Manning is noted for
such 6ckleness, but show that in this
instance the record viii be broken,
and the old flag shall not be furled in
such an unhonored manner.

ALMOST A MURDER.
]. Rembert Harvin, OF Sumter, Attempts
teSh00t q Charleston Policeman.

The Charleston Nsacs and Courier, of May
9th, gives the following account Of the mar
row escape ola Charleston policeman:
Considerable excitement was caused yes
terday afternoon near the Charleston Hotel
by the attempted shooting of Lieut.. Mollen-
hauer by drunken man named j. K. Har-
vim, who is, it is said, native of Sumter.
The story of the entire affair is as follows:
Harvin arrived in the city yesterday morn
ing Oh an excursion and soon imbibed too
much whiskey. He went into the barber
shop at the Pavilion Hotel and attempted to
cut B. J. Herlong with knife. Herlong
Immediately called in Lieut.. Mollenhauer
and Policeman Hutchinson, who were near
by, and Harvin was arrested and taken to
the police signal box at the corner of Meet
ing and Society streets to await the arrival
of the patrol wagon. While waiting for it
Harvin expressed q great deal Of sorrow that
he would have to go to the Station House IN
a wagon.
Just as the wagon arrived Lieut.. Mollen-
hauer turned around, and as quick as light
ming Harvin drew 8 Smith i Wesson pistol
and attempted to kill him. He had the pis-
tol pointed at the head of the officer, and
but for the timely interference Of Policeman
Hutchinson it is very probable that Lieut..
Mollenhauer would have been instantly
killed Hutchinson, who is an alert and
powerful policeman, knocked the pistol
downward and the hammer caught in his
thumb, thus preventing the discharge Of
the pistol. Harvin was Immediately thrown
to the ground as if he were baby, by
Hutchinson, who disarmed him and put
handouts on him, and in a few moments
Harvin was locked up in the Police Station
It was, perhaps. the narrowest escape
from death Lieut. Mollenhauer has ever had,
and he can thank Policeman Hutchinson
for his timely intervention. There was
large crowd of spectators around. and the
splendid conduct Of Policeman Hutchinson
was complimented on all sides. He was Of
fered doucesT in the shape of purse, but
politely refused it. saying that if any recog-
milton was made of his conduct it must be
made through his chief. Harvin will travel
rough road before he gets out OF the scrape
he is now in.

TEACHERS OF CLARENDON

Elsewhere will be found an adver.
tisemeat by School Commissioner
Wells, OF special importance to teach
ers Thelist of studies on which teach
ers viii be examined is given. The pres
ent bosrd says it will not hereafter
grant licenses to teach. This is an
eminently proper action, but will the
board next fall have the spinality to
keep its promise? The board for the
last two years did not. The plaintiff
plea6ings OF timid teschers was too
much, and some we're given licenses
and certificates to teach any way.
But the present board advertises that
it Will not grant these licenses any
more, and the teachers who have any
fears had better at ouee begin study
ing up for the examination.
Physiology and hygiene are two OF
the studies. These are comparative
" new public school studies, and spe-
cial attention is therefore called 10
them. The examination on these
studies viii be rigid. We called at-
tention sometime ago to little book
on these subjects adopted by the
county board. It is published by r.
E. Park, Macon, Ga, and sells, We be-
Geve, for about fifty cents. Let every
teacher who has not ? copy send SO
cents To Mr. Park for one
Then especially study up on gram
mar and arithmetic. Any teacher
who fails TO psss creditable exami-
nation on these two branches is unfit
TO teach a school. Let every teacher
spend q good part of his time in
reading and study; be progressive;
keep up with the age: and the schools
Of Clarendon Will be greatly improved.

500 Bcstels Corn to the Acre.

We visited Col B. R. Eudgins's prize
aSe Of com last week, and as We know our
readers viii enjoy desezi ption of ii, We
viii tell then all about It.
The acre IS in Foreston, about three hun
dred yards from the depot. The soil IS
high. sandy, and porous, and is well drain
ed. The acre has been carefully marked
oG. and the limits plainly marked by 8
hesvy seantling pinned to the ground. A
tram road runs through the field Col
Hudgins has fitted up tank and force
pump, and if the seasons do not suit him,
he can easily fill up his tank, and running
it into his field, furnish shower of rain.
The land was prepared as follows: The
acre. Tas covered with stable manure.
Upon this was bzoadca,t three barrels Of
slaked lime and 200 pounds acid. The
land was then broken up, commencing on
the outside with turn plow, and following
in the ssme furrow with two four-inch shor-
el plows, turning the soil to depth Of
twelve OF fifteen inches, driving around the
outer sides of the acre, and finishing up in
the middle. The stable manure, lime, and
acid. were thus, by means Of these three
plows, pretty well turned under.
On March 2Sth, 81 bushels cotton seed,
500 pounds cotton seed meal, and 400
pounds kainit were put on the ground, and
narrowed in with disk harrox. The
ground was then leveled of Sitk hand
rakes. The corn was planted April LIST, Cd,
and 3rd. Col. Hudgins did this with
great care. The corn is planted in double
rows. three feet from center to center, and
six inches apart, averaging three teet
one way and three inches the other. On
May I'd, it vas plowed with garden plow.
1000 pounds cotton seed meal added, and
then hoed over nicely.
The stand in part of the field is all that
could be desired, but in another part it is
imperfect and had to be replanted. The
corn is now about Is inches high, and has
q beautiful color.
The corn is of the Geddings variety. and
Col Rudgins says the following is claimed
to Eve large ears Of corn. From each stalk
of which will produce an ear. And We
think we understood Col. Hudgins to say
that in addition to all this he would get &
Quart Of shslled corn from each tassel. Ht
may have meant to say that the entire yielc
OF stalk Of the corn would be quart, bu
We asked him q second time and under
stood him to say that he would get the
quart from the tassel of each stalk.
Col. Hudgirs expects with rropitious sea
sons to get Eve hundred bushels from thi:
acre.
