One of the best boarding houses
we know of is the Mansion House il

The resolutions of Davis Cross
Roads ami of Summerton clubs are
unavoidably crowded out this week.
They, in brief, are very strong en-
dorsements of Mr.. James E. Tindal
for Secretary Of State and, also, of his
past course in the legislature.
The campaign of education has
proved exceedingly successful for Till
man. After the campaign meeting
in Manning SIX members Of the For
eston Anti club, headed by Mr.. Theo-
dore Kelly, had their names trans
ferred to the Foreston Reform club.
Petitions for a State primary are
circulating in this county, but the

will pass them by, for they have re-
spect enough about them not to
be continually bull-dozed and bam-
boozled.
The trustees of the Manning Cole

Next week Columbia will be crowd

Grand Central Hotel, one of the best
kept houses in the State. This hotel
has lately had change of proprie-
tors, and our people will find both
fare and Accommodations excellent.
Now that the political clouds are
about to roll by it would not be out
of place for our merchants to let the
people know through the columns OF
the TIMES that they are still doing

trade. The TINES is read by large
number of people and it behooves ev-
cry merchant to advertise in its col

Mr. C. F. Rlchbourg was painfully
injured last Tuesday while sitting at
his dinner table. A piece of timber
gave way under the flooring, which
caused heavy sideboard to topple
over and fall upon him. Mr.. Morgan
Davis, who was present, caught hold
of the sideboard as it was falling,
thereby breaking the full force of the
fall and saving Mr.. Richbourg from
more serious injuries
Sometime ago we called attention
to the promiscuous shooting of pistols
at night about town, and for awhile
after there was but little of it, but the
miscreants have again started their
mischievous sport. Last Saturday

for the night, some individual, sup
posed to be white, and who evidently
had been imbibing too freely of ''lethe,
