thought otherwise, and as it was about
to adjourn motion was made by Mr..
c. NJ. Mason to require the chairman
ITO give one half Of his notices to one
paper and one half to the other
Mr.. Appelt opposed this on the
ground, to do so was impracticable, and
more still, it was unprecedented to tie
the county chairman's hands and allow
him no discretion whatever: that the
committee ought to have confidence in
the fairness and business Judgment OF
the chairman TO leave those minor mat
ters with him without a lot of useless
and unnecessary instructions. If the
committee did not intend to entrust
ANYTHING with the chairman. there was
little need for such an officer. The mat
ter created considerable discussion and
a number of motions were made, each
confusing the other, until the principals
on both sides got together and framed
an amicable adjustment OF the advertis-
ing matter.
We should have stated, the commit
tee that investigated the chairman's
books reported finding everything cor
rect. and as there was one item which
might appear large to those not know
ing the circumstances. we will explain.
The item was a payment of Sl52.35 to
Louis Applet.
For several years THE MANNING
TINES and its Job Office did work for
this committee and only received SD
out of about s400 due it, because the
funds reported on hand were only suffi-
cient TO pay managers, and one year
the managers did not get their full pay.
The committee of 1898 adopted a reso-
luton instructing the chairman that
out of the funds coming into his hands
he must paythe managers and all other
necessary expenses in full, and if there
remained any balance, to pay same over
to Louis Applet in liquidation of all in
debtedness, which was done.
The chairman is now instructed, upon
motion of Mr.. Appelt, to hold subject
to the order of the committee, all mon
les left after paying managers and other
necessary expenses, including printing:
making the pay Of managers preferred
claims.

She Has Come Back.

Poor unfortunate Nellie Bryant, is
back again with US. Last Monday eve
ming, Policeman McKagen of Sumter
brought her to Manning and turned
her over to the town authorities. Pro
ceedings were instituted to have her
re-examined for lunacy. This afflicted
creature was found in 4 cemetery IN
Sumter in partly nude condition, and
she belonging to this county the au-
thorities there sent her here. We are
told that not long ago she was found on
the Wilson and Summerton railroad
almost naked, and it was with some
difficulty that Conductor James could
get his train started off: everytime he
would attempt to start, this girl would
throw herself in front of the engine,
and he would have to stop. Then she
would run in between the box cars, and
it was by much effort that he got away
from her. She had been in this nude
state for some time as the skin on her
back was burned from the sun. The
doctors will make another examlna-
ton, and perhaps this time they will
not be baffled by her. The trouble
heretofore has been, that when the
doctors examined her she was as rat
ional and apparently as sane as any
body, but her attempts on her life, and
other strange conduct leads many lay
men to think the girla fit subject for
the lunatic asylum.
The following letter was sent the
Judge Of Probate:
Sumter S. c.. June Is, 1900.
Judge of Probate Clarendon County.
DEAR SIR:
By order of the Mayor of Sumter we
send to you this day Vermelle Bryant
a citizen or resident of your county, In
charge of an officer. This young woman
is evidently insane if judged by her
conduct or misconduct. and we feel that
it would be reproach upon any COM
munity to permit her to wander about
unprotected. until in reckless moment
she should take her life, no matter how
worthless she may be considered.
If she were of our county we would
lone ago, have tried to dispose of her
in some lawful and proper way, but we
are prevented by the fact that her res
idence is in another county.
When she was here some weeks ago
we took care of her at boarding house
and paid her way back home as soon
as we could prevail upon her to return.
| wrote the sheriff of Clarendon at
that time, but he did not condescend to
reply to very courteous letter upon a
matter which certainly demands Off
cial attention.
We have done the best we can for
this unfortunate woman, and hope you
will see that your county does its duty
by her.
With great respect, am
Yours truly,
c. NJ. HURST, JR.,
City Clerk.

The time for holding the county cam
paign meetings was fixed to begin Au-
gust 20 at Pinewood, but after the COM
mittee adjourned the chairman found It
was impossible for him to do what was
required of him by resolutions adopted
at this meeting, and he has called OF
those meetings and issued an order for
the committee to meet again Wednes-
day morning, 2Ith inst. at 10 O'Clock.
\ resolution was adopted requiring
the chairman to call for bids for print
ing the county tickets for the primary.
This was objected to by the writer on
the ground that it was such a small
matter, and that it was unnecessarily
hampering the chairman who would be
held responsible, and that he should be
permitted to use his discretion in the
matter. The committee. however,
