How the Girl. Wear Their HaIr.

The New York schoolgirl wear her
hair, as a rule. braided in one or two
braids down her back. Sometimes, If
the hair is very long, the braid is turned
under and tied with a dark ribbon
Even after the dresses are much length
ened there is no change in dressing the
hair. and in most cases this method is
adhered TO until the graduation. When
you encounter one of the fashionable
boarding schools during its afternoon
promenade the younger girl from the
provincial town is easily recognized
from the mature mode in which her
hair is dressed. The simpler style is
preferable, particularly as it makes the
growth Of hair much handsomer.-New

A Knight Visits Spartanburg.

EDITOR MANNING T1MEs:-I have often
thought one of the most delightful of pleas.
ures is the meeting of dear friend or Wis
ting a favorite haunt after years of separa-
ton. The writer enjoyed both during the
past week at Spartanburg whittier we had
gone as representative of Damon Lodge
No. Is to meet in council the Grand Lodge
of this Jurisdiction of one Of the noblest
orders in the world; that order which bears
upon its banners the motto Friendship,
Charity, and Benevolence," and counts as
the richest Jewels that it garners the tears Of
widows and orphans. We pressed the hand
and looked into the eyes of our chum-near-
" every college boy has his chum-whom
we had not met for sixteen years; and We
once more entered Woford College and
stood again in the class-room-dear old room!
of DR.. Carlisle; stood on the very spot
that we were wont to stand in the long years
ago to call the roll of class that will never
meet again unless there be reunion-God
grant there may i'm the realms Of eternal
bliss.
Soon after our arrival We were joined by
one to whom we are bound by ties stronger
than those of affinity; and little later by
Mr.. Cannon, the model cashier of the new
bank, who, with his charming, intellectual,
and Christian wife, entertained us with such
unbounded hospitality that it places us un-
der lasting Obligations to them.
The Spartan burg of to-day bears little re-
semblance Of the little old town that stood
on that site sixteen years ago. It is 4 city
with beautiful and costly residences, long
rows Of splendid mercantile establishments,
large manufactures, and the finest schools
and colleges in the State. But one Of the
most prominent features of Spartan burg
aside from the fact that it is built on more
hills than Rome-is that it is city Of
churches. All the principal sects have their
places of worship, and the Methodists alone
have three churches in the city.
The Grand Lodge meeting is said to have
been the largest ever held in the State, and
none could possibly have been more harmo-
nious. Business of great importance was
transacted, and the meeting was full Of alb
sorbing interest However, all will appear
in the journal, excepting that which cannot
be written here or elsewhere. Gen. James
is fine presiding officer, and he and every
one else is pleased with his successor. The
banquet given in honor Of the Grand Lodge
by Morgan Lodge was just splendid, and
the responses to toasts all good. S.

News from St. Paul

ST. PAUL, Feb. 25.-As you desired items
of news along the line, st. Paul offers a
small contribution this week. We have
been waiting for our genial friend and your
able correspondent "Tom" to occasionally
make mention of US, as we are very close
neighbors to Silver and would highly apre-
ciata his attention. We do not complain as
Sufferer" by the ''Way," but only friend
ly desire.
The farmers of this section are rapidly
pushing to close the preparation of the
soil for the seed, and are in fine trim for an
other crop. Nearly all the. cotton lands are
we'll broken, and preparations for corn will
soon be complete, and with this fair start
and good seasons, we hope to make one of
the largest crops we have made for years. If
| we can have few more good crop years as
last year there will certainly be rejoicing in
the land, especially with US who pull the
bell rope over the Eule.
We have still left in reserve some few bales
of cotton, and some few colored farmers are
holding share. This surely bespeaks bet
ter times, with no fear of the wolf at the
door to distress or break our calm repose.
| Our little village of St. Paul is rapidly
growing, and the signs Of the times plainly
indicates that st. Paul has a strong grip up
on the business Of our county, and will sur
pass in shipments any other station or vii
lage of its size in Clarendon. The standard
of commercial interests is in the hands Of
Clarendon's favorite, d. Levi, whose zeal
and energy stands at the head of the col
umn.
The remains of Joseph S. Shlvey, son Of
NJ. Stalvey, who died Of consumption near
Sumter, was buried here at st. Paul church
to-day. The family have the sympathy of
our entire community in their sore attiic-
ton.
La grippe has been our constant compan-
| ion for some time, but we hope to part &C
quaintance, as its familiarity keeps us pref
ty thin.
We would be glad to hear something more
OF the "reminiscences of the 23rd S. G. Vol
unteers. It is editying and refreshing,
though it carries us back 10 recollections of
days that tried mems souls, which none can
tell but those who know. Clarendon's hon.

MIDWAY, Feb. 2s.-Farmers over here are

are down with the grip.
Mrs. J. H. johnson has been very i'll, but
is mending.
I saw in the TINES where MIR. Way and
Mr.. Sufferer have been talking about bad
roads but think they have both slept away
their time, for the county commissioner
of Clarendon has been in Office for almost
three years and there has not been much
work done on the roads yet. He talks OF
renting the roads out to some good farmers
for farm purposes, but 1 don't think the
young men of Salem will suffer that al
though the roads would bring good rent.
I think the honey-bee cotton in Sandy
Grove will do well this year if the fnny
tribe don't rise. which will give the cotton

up with pig pens cotton. P.Y

Negro Slavery Among the South Carolina
Indians.
1.American Autiquurian.1

1t is natural to suppose that in colonial
times Indians could be found in South Car
olina who were the owners Of negro slaves.
| have however, never seen but one instance
of the kind mentioned In the History OF
the Old Cheraws," by the Right Rev. Alex
ander Gregg, D. D., there appears notice
which was published in the South CrOli,ao
Gazette during the year 174S. The notice is
about q Negro Fellow taken up by an
overseer on an island called Uchea Island.
The negro's account OF himself was "that
he belonged formerly to Mr.. Fuller. and was
by him sold to Billy, King of the Pedee In
dlans; that the Catawba Indians took him
from King Billy and carried him to their
nation; and that in endeavoring to make his
escape from the CatawbaS, he was lost in the
woods, and had been so considerable time
before he was taken" The notice gives q
description Of the negro.
