The Last Heard Of It.

My little boy took the Group one
night and soon grew so bad you could
hear him breathe all over the house, -
says F. Z. Reynolds. Mansfield, O.
We feared he would die. but few
doses of One Minute Cough Cure quick
Is relieved him and he went to sleep.
That's the last we heard of the Group.
Now isn't q cough cure like that valu-
able:" One Minute Cough Cure IS alb
solutely safe and acts Immediately. For
coughs, colds, groups, grip, bronchitis
and all other throat and lung troubles
it is a certain cure. Very pleasant to
take. The little ones like it. The R.

Saved Him From Torture.

There is no more agonizing trouble
than piles. The constant itching and
burning make life intolerable. No posi-
tion is comfortable. The torture is un-
ceasing. DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve
cures piles at once. For skin diseases,
cuts, burns, bruises, all kinds of wounds
it is unequalled. J. S. Geroll, ST. Paul,
Ark, says: From 1865 I suffered with
the protruding, Sbleeding piles and
could find nothing to help me until l
used DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve. A
few boxes completely cured me-" Be-

it I cannot say.
Mrs. H. D. Plowden was over
here visiting her sister, Mrs. DR..
Owings, and it is always a
pleasure to meet our friends from
home, especially the ladies.
Another effort has been made
in behalf of F. NJ. Player, but it
was without result: the governor
did not feel justified in pardon
ing Player atpresent after Judge
Watts strong refusal to recon-
mend the pardon. Senator Will
liams of Williamsburg and my
self have exhausted our efforts
in this direction, but we are as
sured that after Player has
served twelve months the par
don will be considered with ia
vor.
On next Friday and Saturday
the general assembly will be the
guests of the City of Charleston
at the ex xposition; we will go
down in special train and all
of US look forward to the trip
with great pleasure. The time
lost will be made up by afternoon
and night sessions, so that the
big frolic shall not cost the peo-
pie.
l see that I am credited with
being the author of a bill to pro-
hibit the shooting Of live pig
cons; this is a mistake, that bill
was introduced by Senator Hay
of Kershaw, and I am opposed
| to the terms of the bill.
The weather over here the
past few days has been "horrl-
ble," rain and mud wherever you
60, a perfect harvest for the
merchants who sell umbrellas
and rubber shoes. The members
of the delegation have been en-
Toying good health, except Mr..
Galluchat, he was knocked out
with cold for a couple of days.
The politicians are very much
exercised over laying their plans
for Congress and there are a
number of redistricting bills.
Every one that I have seen puts
Clarendon just where we do not
want her to be. There is an
effort to put US with Richland,
Lexington, Orangeburg and
Sumter, and if this is successful,
we will amount to nothing so far
as having an influence is con-
cerned. A Congressional dis
trict so shaped will have Claren-
don in the position of the white
tip on a dogs tail. A rumor has
reached me that member OF
our delegation has his eyes on a
seat in Congress, and that with
certain formation he thinks his
chances are good for the plum.

The bill to change tie Constl-
tuition so that we can have bien-
NAL sessions has passed the
House; it was defeated in the
Senate last year, how it will fare
this year I know not. l voted
for it last year, because | COM
mitted myself to it and feel that
| I am bound to vote for it again,
but when I hear the arguments
against the bill it is a great temp
tation to change my mind. l
promised when elected to vote
for biennial sessions and [ will
stick to it regardless of my indi-
vidual opinion that biennial ses-
sions, without pay for extra
sessions, is a delusion.

"Ifi Corld Get Rid

of this abominable cold," exclaimed the
sufferer, when the end of spasm OF
coughing gave him a chance to talk.
The way out of the trouble is plain.
Take Aliens Lung Balsam before the
merciless grip of the cold has fastened
upon throat and lungs. After a few
doses the cough is easier and less fre-
quent, and complete cure is but the
question OF little time.

I have introduced a bill and it
has gone to a third reading in
the Senate to increase the sala-
ries of the magistrate and con-
stable at St Paul. This was
done as matter of justice. The
magistrate and his constable at
St. Paul have a vast amount of
work to do, and the records show
that from fines turned into the
treasury and convicts On the
chaingang the magistrate at st.
Paul does very near as much
work as is done at the county
seat.
The general salary bill as
amended fixes the salaries OF our
county officers as follows: Audi,
tor, Treasurer and Sheriff, $500
each: Superintendent Of Educa'
ton, $6.25, which allowsS1O0 for
travelling expenses and $500
for a clerk to keep the Office
open while he is visiting the
schools. Clerk of Court, for
criminal work: $3.50; Coroner,
5000: County Commissioners,
$500 per day and 5 cents pei
mile not exceeding 80 days. in
any one year: County Board OF
Education. So per day for two
days, and Township Assessors
81 per day and 5 cents per mile.
A compulsory education bill
was defeated in the Senate by
two votes. I voted against strik,
ing out the enacting words, so
as to put in an amendment which
I had previously prepared in case
the enacting words were not
stricken out, to require the trus-
tees to furnish school books free
of cost to those compelled to
go to school, who were not able
to buy them. In order to have
the dispensary profits distributed
monthly instead of quarterly |
introduced a bill and as a similar
bill had passed the House, the fin
ance committee had my bill ta-
bled and combined it with the
House bill, thus saving my bill
from running the gauntlet of the
House, and accomplishing the
desired result.
The following is the financial
statement of our county for 1901,
sent to the delegation by the
County Commissioners:
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1902-02-05

NoTE-The expenditures for chain
gang the past year were heavy on ac-
count of having to buy four mules and
pay for one, and buy road machines,
etc.
1t has also been necessary to buy a
quantity OF lumber for bridges:
In the above expenditures there is
also charged all amounts paid for medi-
cine and medical attention to convicts
and prisoners.
The chaingang now averages from Is
to 20 men.
Feed and shoes and only such cloth
ing as they are obliged to have:
amounts to an item with that number
Of men all the time, as hard labor wears
out lots of shoes and clothing.
The County Commissioners have been
forced to agree to pay the guards $50,
s25 and $40 per month, respectively. 1t
Is necessary to have three guards, and
they will not work for less and were
going TO seek other work. Those wages
are cheap enough when you consider
Uhc kind of work they do, and the risk
they taEe. Men who are fit for such
positions cannot be had for less than
those wages.
The chaingang is a big thing, and
with the most economical management
it takes money to run it.
The Commissioners will just about
pay out all Indebtedness for the year
1901, when all of the county's portion of
taxes are in at the end OF this extension
of the tax paving time.
They suggest that the expenses Of the
county for 1902 will probably not be
any heavier than for 1901, and think
they can get through with the same
levies. by allowing them to use any
surplus funds to the best advantage
they see fit, as was done last year.
BY order of the Board.

in the UNION? Two weeks ago the
Princeton roller mill inserted small
local in the UNION stating that. a boy
was wanted to assist in the engine room
and learn the trade. This small local
brought all kinds OF applications, both
by person and by mail, and the mill
was besieged by = all kinds Of applica-
tions for the position. THE applica-
tions came from all over the country,
some from st: zHilaire andrsothesrr re-
mote places. s:ssssStop that local. said
zimmerman. IF applications continue
to. pour in we win have to hire a clerk
to take care Of the correspondence, and
to look after, the horde Of applicants
that are besieging us at the mill. They
have been coming on foot, on wheels,
in wagons, by telephone and by mail,
and there is no telling when they will
stop coming. The UNION is a great
paper for advertising. Stop the local. .
