The Labor Question in Clarendon.

WILSON'S, S. c., Feb. 11.-After long,
gloomy, cloudy, and wet spell of weather, 1t
looks like we may have some nice one now,
to the great Joy Of the farmers. The farm
ers in this section are behind with their
work because of the bad weather we've been
having. Then another cause Of the back
wardness is, a great many have not been
able to get hands This seems to be gen.
eral complaint this year, more so than ever
before.
Truly the labor problem is getting each
year to be veXed and momentous one.
Its proportions are almost equal to the
great race question. Indeed, in our Judg-
ment they seem to be merging into one and
the same thing We ought not and cannot
find it in our hearts to grudge even the
poor negro of that which we are all STRIVING
so hard to get of that which everybody ad-
vises everybody else to lay hold on, OF that
which nobody can take from us-an educa-
ton. But, it seems to work in almost dl-
rect conflict to the interest Of the white man,
the farmer more especially. Give the negro
an education, and he is negro no more.
He loses his negro qualities at once; and
while it doesn't change his color much, he
feels himself equal to any man, the white
man especially. And just here the trouble
comes in with the farmer. AS soon as the
negro gets q little knowledge stuck into his
head he becomes gentleman Of color" ,"
negro no longer, and of course doesn't want
to be "bossed" but wants to be a .boss" him
self. He goes to some merchant, gives o
lien, buys mule. Texas pony, or more
generally an OK, rents q piece of ground,
'.sets up" for himself, and, then, oh then!
The English language doesn't possess a
word big enough to express him."
This is the identical case this year. The
gentleman of cclor" seems bent and deter
mined not TO work for white man, if he
can possibly help it, and by jadicious qnes-
tloning, it can be very easily learned that
this is very general understanding among
them this year.
a good many farmers still haven't suffi-
cient hands and it seems doubtful about
getting them, unless they rent. In our
opinion the lien law has much to do with
this labor question. But for fear of the
waste basket we forbear.
Next Friday night, being the second Fri
day night, is the time for the regular meet
ing Of the U. II. c. at Wilson's A large
crowd and nice program is expected. All
are invited to come. Is.

III. Hope Swamp Causeway.

Mr.. EDIroR:-My attention has been
called to a communication signed sufferer"
in your issue of the MANNING TINES of Feb.
4th with head lines, bad Roads Near For
eston." That communication is calculated
to mislead the public mind, '.that is the
head llnes), and as 1t really seems from its
spirit and intention was intended more to
sling mud upon the board of county COM
miSsloners
Sufferer" in presenting the public of
such an important matter which concerns
the public travel, should never screen him
sell IN ambush, for really the causeway re-
ported was just in the condition set forth by
him. am ready to admit all that he says
of Mt. Hope Swamp. never saw the place
but once. Then was there to devise some
plan to work it. This is one of those un-
Fortunate piece of roads that require hauling:
If worked at all it has to be done by wagons
This is my first year in that locality. But
who is to blame for this condition of things?
Was it Mr.. Horton, who had charge last
year? No, for he doubtless labored under
the very same disadvantage with which
now have to contend. He made US good
commissioner. Then who is at fault? Let
us see. Has 'Sufferer" joined his neigh
coA', INV q SOOu SlliHsu, w l)uG tuIS CtiuSe-
way in proper travelling order? Has he
been as ready to work and furnish his teams
as he has been to Jump into the newspaper
and borrow conclusions?
I have always thought and still think it
shows bad faith upon the part of any man
to condemn a public officer for what "Suf-
ferer" or any other good citizen liable to
road duty ought to have done and helped
to do themselves Has Sufferer been as
willing to show his public spirit in helping
his overseer in fixing this part Of the road
by hauling dirt as he has shown to the peo-
pie by going into the newspapers?
I find all the roads in Brewington town.
ship in good condition except this cause
way. was there ten days ago. 1t was my
first trip. I appointed On overseer with in
structions to put the causeway in condition
at once. If it has not been done, the fault
does not lie with the county commissioners.
The trouble must be with those who have
the work to do. will say this much, that
all the committees sent out by the grand
jury never can make men work the roads,
nor help the causeway one iota I awfully
fear Sufferer" belongs to this class who
never are wiling to do road duty. Others
are led to follow his example. This must
be the logical conclusion for many COM
plain just as he does, who never do one
single thing for the public roads.

ground to the top, and natures every boil
Not liable to dry forms on stalk like other
prolifcs; not liable to fall out like other
clusters; makes about the same turnout of
lint as the we'll known Peterkin, (from 50 to
10 per cent?
Ihave three years experience with this
cotton, and can say believe it to be the best
cotton now in existence.
I have never offered it for sale before, and
have only 100 bushels for sale. Order right
away if YOU want them.
l am still offering my well known variety
at sl50 per bushei, price reduced on large

Cash must accompany orders and freight
prepaid, as railroad will not accept cotton

on improved seed will not be reduced by
taking over peck, but will be in the others

Eczema from Childhood.

When an infant my body broke out
all over with an eruption or rash,
which became more aggravated as [
grew older. From early childhood
until I was grown my family spent a
fortune trying to cure me Of the dis
ease. Every noted physician in our
section was tried or consulted. When
I came of age l visited Hot Springs,
Ark, and was treated there by the
best medical men, but was not bene-
flied. After that, under the advice OF
a noted specialist, I tried the cele-
brated Clifton Springs, New York,
without any good results. When all
things had failed [ determined to try
S. S. S., and in four months was en-
tirelv cured. The terrible eczema was
all gone, not a sign left; my general
health built up, and I have never had
any return of the disease. I have
since recommended S S. S. to num-
Der of friends for skin diseases, erup-
tons, etc, and have never known OF
failure to cure.

Bad Roads at Mt. Hope.

ED1roE MANNING T1MEs:-I have been in
formed that one of those efficient county
commissioners found his way to Mt. Hope
swamp. There is at least three hundred
yards Of bog and water near the top OF It,
and he has ordered out the hands at this
season of the year. with instructions to put
it in proper condition. How are they to do
1t? ii he had found his way down there
last summer, it then could have been made
passable.
The only course now is to hire teams and
haul in solid earth and raise the rood bed
and bridges, and if those whose duty it has
been don't attend to it they Should gave way
to those who will The citizens in this sec
ton are not disposed to submit quietly any
longer. SUFFERER.

HOMEMADE FANCY CHA1Rs.-A neatl,

HOME MADE FANCY CHAIRS. A neatly
ornamented chair for a sitting
room can be made by taking a small
wooden-backed rocker with a woven
rattan seat and painting it white or
light blue, pink or yellow, and then
dressing it up with a slumber pillow
aod thin square cushion to match.
Sometimes the cushion is made long
enough to hang down in font nearly
to the floor; but it is usually simply
square cushion covered and decorat-
ed like the pillow. These dainty af-
fairs are very popular. One white
chair which we saw had a pillow and
cover, made of very coarse figured
wool lace over yellow silk, with the
figures il the lace pattern drawn out
BY half solid work in yellow.

Jordan News.

JORDAN, Feb. l0.-Mr. S. Warren Nelson,
Jr., sustained q considerable loss III the
burning of his barn on Monday night of
last week. A lot OF corn, fodder, and cot
ton seed was destroyed, as was also several
agricultural implements. The loss is about
$1,000. The supposed cause of the burn
ing is incendiary, though the early hour at
which it occurred, $50 P. NJ, renders this
supposition doubtful.
Mr.. Nelson was badly bruised on his way
to the scene Of the fire by being thrown out
of his buggy, his mule becoming frightened.
His injuries were not serious, however.
Work on the new academy will begin
soon. A handsome building of two stories,
with a hall on the first floor and three reel
tation rooms on the second will be erected.

ored employee of tie Harvin Brothers,
while coming out of the woods, seated on
the front part of the tram-engne, attempted
as he cot opposite his home, to jump from

footing. and falling bsneath the wheels was
crushed to death He was horribly mansled,
and his head nearly severed from his
body.
July Kelly, who was in charge of the en-
CINE, says that when he saw that Servance
wanted to jump, be asked him to wait until
be could stop, but before be had time to
shut off the steam, Servance leaped to his
death.

that Servance came to his death by his own
careleSSneSS.
