There are few better lawyers any
where than are to be found among the
educated blacks Of the British West
Indies. The Attorney General Of the
Island Of Jamaica some years ago was
negro, by name Burke, who was
said 10 be as eloquent of speech and
as formidable in argument as his great
Irish namesakc, Edmund Burke, who,
it will be remembered, said on one
occasion @Grcat men are the guide
posts of a nation" The black Burke
was famed not alone for his oratcry,
but for the soundness Of his legal
Judgment aud the fairness Of his
decisions, while acting as Attorney
General. He was knighted some
years ago By Queen Victoria.

by Queen Victora about four years

matter of business policy, our mer-
chants should advertise more freely.
We know of no town in the State
that does as little advertising as Man
ming; why, we cannot see. Manning
has good merchants, and they want
to sell goods. The idea Of advertis-
ing short time during the busy sea-
son will not have the effect to draw
an increased population. What they
should do is to keep before the pub
lie all the time. Every business man
will admit that a newspaper in a
town is necessity, but how can a
newspaper exist when the parties to
be profted will not give substantial
encouragement to the enterprise:
We ask our merchants to think OF
this matter and not take it for granted
that a newspaper can live without
patronage. If the people OF this
county were to go elsewhere to give
their patronage, our merchants would
have a just cause to complain, and
the business interests Of our town
would suffer. Just so with the news
paper; if our merchants will not give
the necessary patronage, the paper
suffers. The question is, then, do
our merchants want newspaper? Ii
they do, they should come forward
and help sustain one.

Wounde6-The Outlook.

WASHINGTON, April 1o.-Offcial intel
ligence received from Havana. confirms
the news relative to the battle Of che
10th, instant between the Spanish
troops and Cuban insurgents at Palma
rito The United Press dispatch states
that Thomas Sainz. General Maeecs
secretary, was wounded. The official
dispatch from Havana says also that he
surrendered. Il IS also reported that
out Of the rs men who landed with
Maceo some days ago, eleven were
killed and wounded, but no mention
is made OF the capture of Maceo.
A newspaper telegram from Hava-
ma reports that Maceo was captured
and that in the Palmarito battle the
insurgent forces number 2,Oo0 and the
Spanish 5000. A dispatch from Captain
General Calico merely mentions the
killing and wounding of all of Maceo's
followers while nothing is said of any
loss to the Spanish troops, nor that any
considera BILE force was engaged. On
the contrary there are strong grounds
for the statement that they could not
have exceeded q few hundred at the
utmost. -.

DUEL ON THE PUBLIC STREETS.
Well Known Citizens oE Jacksonville Meet
and shoot Their Troubles 0u.=

JACKSONVILLE, Lila. april !G--Yes-
terday afternoon John /. Marvin,
banker and j. NJ. Barrs, city attorney
met on the sidewalk and a shooting af-
fray occurred. There had been bad
blood between them on account of fac
tional politics, criminations and re-
ordinations having passed which led
to assault three weeks ago by Marvin
and brothers upon Barrs with canes.
Since then Marvins, expecting assault.
have been armed. When they met by
chance Marvin drew pistol and fired
point blank. Bars jumped forward,
seized the weapon and thus diverted
tho aim. Marvin fred two or three
times without effect. All wcte arrest
ed. Bars had no weapon and says he
made no belligerent demonstrations
On the other hand Marvin says Bars
approached him and said: - you,
I've got you now.
Then, according to Marvin, the shoot
ing followed. The men arc antago-
nistic in city politics and the trouble is
attributable to that fact. Barrs repre-
sents the reformers and Marvin those
opposed to reform. Only a few days
ago Barrs was assaulted by the Mar
wins because of his opposition to their
methods and it is supposed that this as
sauIt grew out OF that.
Florida's pernicious election law is
responsible for the trouble.

HILLS Al LIE fKUNI
The Senators Name Again the
Subject of Presidential Gossip.
OUTCOME OF 4 VISIT TO WASHINGTON.
Tho Present Incumbent Not For From the
Race-The Spirlt of vIndieation
Predominant One-The situa-
tIon From the Capital

WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator Hill
has been spending a few days quietly
in Washington studying the political
situation. He was one of she most con-
spicuous spectators in the supreme
court room when the income tax deci-
sion was handed down, and the result
has proven how right was his fight
against the measure when it was be-
fore congress. The senator, however,
has not been doing much Dragging.
Senator Hills visit here has. like Gov
ernor Mckinley's last week, started
some presidential gossip. and the events
of the week have certainly brought
Senator Hill to the front once more.
There are also Indications that Grover
Cleveland is not so far out of the race
as many would suppose him. The al
legged failure Of the present administrs-
ton have disturbed Mr. Cleveland con-
siderably, and men who are authorized
to speak for him say that vindication
is needed and that the democratic party
must again nominate the only man who
has carried their party to success IN
the last quarter of a; century. Indica-
tions of a desire for:t this vindication
have been so plain TO those who are
watching the political horizon that;it
is almost accepted as a fact here in
Washington that the president would
accept the nomination in 1895 If he
could get it.
Within the last month or so the. pesi:
dent has adopted what Senator Bice
has denominated policy OF concentra-
tion. he is making up with the old
leaders in the various States who have
hitherto been antagonistic to him, and
it has been noticed that senators who
during the session of congress refused
to call at the white house, are now
seen frequently vending their way
thitnec. The president seems TO have
the fashionable fad of = keeping
quiet on the silver question, although
his record is pretty well known, but
his declination of the invitation. from
the Chicago sound money convention
shows that he will not say much on the
subject at present
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1895-04-17

We see it stated. thai there will be
an effort to get the members of the
Tillman-Barnwell conference and the
Forty committee together to arrange
a settlement of the differences now
existing between the two. If they
can come to some satisfactory solu-
ton of our present difficulties, they
should get togetheraatl once. The
people are willing to agree to an ar
rangement whereby peace can be Sc
cured provided the same can be done
without any sacrifice of principle.
The more we think OF the coming
together of the people on the consti-
tutionsl convention question, the
more are we convinced that our po-
sition in the conference was correct.
We wanted the adoption of p,st-
form Of principles, and then elect our
delegates pledged to that platform,
Had this been done, the matter OF
which faction should control would
have not been brought in at all; men
would have been elected pledged TO
certain principles, and it would make
no difference what factional afflia-
ticn the members, of the convention
claimed. As things are now, every
body says have non-factioral con-
yention; at the same time they draw
the factional lines by debating the
number each faction should elect.
The people, however,sare not saying
much; it is the politicians doing the
talking. When;the people talk, their
say wil'be law, and the politicians
viii fall into line.

WASHINGTON. April 15.-Army circles

there is a post of regulars, will take q
spirited interest in She movements of
Lieutenant Cornelius C.. Smith, second
cavalry, who has just started on long
ride on horseback. He intends to make
1000 miles on o single horse, unaceom-
panied. and will carry neither rations
nor forage, but intends to depend sole
ly upon the country through which he
travels for sustennnce for himself and
horse. He started from Fort Wingate,
New Mexico, to. cover the distance to
San Antonio, Tex, within q month.
The route over which he IS to travel
is wild and barren, and the outlook is
so hazardous that old tearnsters who
have been over the trail doubt that he
will accomplish the journey. Smith is
a master Of the various Indian Ian
guages, and this will be great help to
him in his perilous trip, as be will be
thrown among many tribes who are not
altogether in love with soldiers ]; -.
