A CHASTITY FIND.

A sensation was caused in Manning
last Sunday morning by the hndlng
of a mutilated body of an infant on
the premises of James McD. Rich
ardson, respectable colored man.
The body was found the day before
by Solomon James, colored, who was
cleaning up the yard, and when he
discovered 1.-THE informed some Of the
colored neighbors, who, fearing it
would bring them into trouble, told
him to bury it and say nothing more
about it. One of these neighborS
told her husband that night and
Sunday morning he reported the af-
fair and the coroner was sent for.
Coroner Ridgeway empanelled a
Jury and they examined the body
together with physicians. 1t WAS
found to he the body of a male nu-
latto child of premature birth, and
horribly mutilated; one side of the
face, one arm and one leg were eaten
by hogs or dogs.
There was woman in the employ
of Richardson who is suspected Of be-
ing the mother. She left here Sun
day morning, buying ticket to
Sumter.

PRAYERS BEFORE BATTLE.
Curious Invocstions BY Famous Historical
Perton8Seoo

Curious Invocations BY Famous Historical
PersonaSeso
One Of the earliest records in history
Of prayer before battle is that Of Chill
deric, king of Gaul, a pagan, who before
going into battle at Zuelpich, some 40c
years after Christ, prayed to the God Of
the Christians to help him to victory.
His foe was Attila, king of the Huns,
and Childeric vowed if God would give
him the victory he would embrace the
Christian faith.
The prayer Of a Hungarian officer be-
fore one of the battles fought for the in
dependence Of hungary in 1S49 was as
follows: "I will not ask thee, Lord, to
help US, and I know thou wilt not help
the Austrians, but II thou wilt sit on
yonder hill thou shalt not be ashamed
of thy children" This was the prayer
Of the Fighting Bishop" Leslie before
one of the battles fought in Ireland: 80
God, for cur unworthiness we are not tit
to claim thy help, but if we are bad
our enemies are worse, and if thou seest
not meet to help Cs we pray tnee nelp
them not, but stanG thou neuter On this
day and leave it to the arm Of the flesh. "
The one offered before the battle OF
Edgehill by Sir Jacob Ashley was
"Thou knowest, o Lord, that shall be
very busy this day, and if I forget thee
forget thou not me" and then the COM
mand followed, March on, boys!' As
King Edward advanced with his col
umns to Bannockburn be remarked to
his aids, seeing the Scotch on their
knees: "See, they kneeL The rebels are
asking pardon. D'Umphravillo was
heard to remark: eyes, but it is to the
King Of kings: These men conquer OF
die on this field. ~
Oliver Cromwell had public prayers
before going to battle on several occa-
sions-as, for instance, previous to the
battle Of Dunbar. 1t is curious fact
that the English prayer book contains
prayers, or at least one prayer, to be said
before going into action at sea, while
nothing is provided for use before en-
easements on land.-New York Herald.

countries have in 40 years diminished
by one-half the annual proportion Of
their delinquents and mendicants, while
in Italy the want of similar Instruction
has resulted in the positive increase of
delinquency and mendicancy since 1869.
When to these considerations we add the
increased hardness Of living in the young
kingdom, the strain put upon the moral
resisting power by crushing poverty,
the squalid dwellings, the defective ali
mentation, by which the brain is starved,
when it is rot actually poisoned, by the
stimulants in which relief from misery
is sought, and the depreciation of life as
it exists under sach conditions, we ar
rive at an ensemble OF causes which
quite accounts for these sad statistics.

The Valley City Alliance says that
"the proposition for short cam
paign is all in favor Of the protes.
sional politicians. Politicians are
juggle,s and cojurers. The quicker
a slight-of-hand trick is executed the
less danger detection. The voters
ought to be given sufficient time to
consider the issues calmly, without
the risk OF being "flimfammed" in
the excitement of hleating bands and
blazing torchlight professions" We
disagree with the Alliance in this
matter. We think that the shorter
the campaign the better for all con-
ce,ned. If the tickets were nomin-
ated tomorrow and the election could
be held one week from tomorrow, we
candidly believe that the voters
could go to the polls and vote more
intelligently than they could after a
six months campaign First one
side will send a speaker and the
voters think what he says is all right.
Then the other side sends up a
speaker and he calls the other fellow
a liar and tells what he knows, then
along comes third party politician
and he tells the voters the other two
fellows are liars, ETC., and by this
time the average voter don't know
whether he is on foot or horseback.
Give us a short campaign. But then
we must be one of those politica
jugglers, we suppose.

Democratic representatives, are
kicking hard because the republican
majority in the house passed the new
tariff bill without allowing more time
in which to debate on its merits OF
dement's and without allowing any
amendments to the bill. 1t is per-
fectly natural for the democrats to
kick, because the republicans will
get the credit for coming to the re-
lief of the president and this right in
the face of a national campaign. The
new bill just passed by the national
house is only what is called an emer-
gency bill. Mr.. Crisp (dem.) oh
iected to what he called undue haste
in passing the bill, whereupon Mr..
Henderson (Rep.) replied that ga
democratic president had sent to
congress a declaration of war and
three days later had filed petition
of bankruptcy" The republicans in
the present congress can rise above
party and unanimously back the
president in the Venezuelan matter
and propose to take him at his word
in regard to financial matters and
have passed this new tariff bill in or
der to raise the necessary revenue to
pay the running expenses of the
government. Of course the new
measure is not calculated to suit
either the democrats or republicans
but for a temporary measure it will
give the relief asked for.
