Daniel Carter, colored, died in this
town last Monday Of iockjaw, caused
from nail getting stuck into his foot.
The deceased suffered intensely for
FIVE days and death was relief: Carter
enjoyed the confidence OF his white ac-
ouaintances, was we'll behaved and very
reliable. Colored citizens like him al
ways have many white friends.
We take pleasure in calling attention
to the candidates cards of Mr.. G. r.

the county, was Clarendon's first Super

Died at her home near Manning last
Friday night, Mrs. Matte Riegill, aged
about 40 years The deceased was not
ed for her untiring energy and good
ness O: heart. and she will be sadly
missed in the neighborhood. She left
surviving, her husband, Mr.. B. Frank
Rideill, and six children. The funeral
services were cnnducted by Rev. g. T.
Gresham at Fellowship church, and
were attended by large number OF
relatives and friends.
The effort being made for the local
cemetery is a laudable one and should
receive the active eneourag cement Of
every person. An association should
be formed which should purchase some
of the adjoining property and extend
the present limits of the grounds. The
owners Of adjoining property, we have
no doubt, Will sell the association at a
more reasonable figure than they would
to individuals and now while there is
vet i surviving trustee OF the old asso-
citation much complication can be avoid
ed by getting together now.
Two of Clarendon's citizens made a
close call from a watery grave last
Thursday afternoon, while sailing in a
boat off Sullivan's Island. Billy Dyson
audC.J. Gibson while taking in the sights
at the reunion joined party from Fort
Sumter to take a sail, Dyson proved a
Jonah. his hat blew Off, and in attempt
ing TO recover it the boat capsized and
two of the party were drowned, the
others were rescued by soldiers and the
life saving crew from the Island. Dy-
son and Gibson were taken to the hOspl-
tai and the doctors gave them the nee
essary medical aid to return home the
next day.
News has reached US that the people

being left out OF representation in the
LEGISLATURE, and they are going to
have meeting of their respective clubs
to ascertain Salem's choice for Rep

man for the rest Of the county to vote
for. It is fact, Salem is by location,
as well as taxable property. entitled to
a share of the public Offices: it GER
tainly ought to have representation on
the legislative ticket. Every man VINO
runs for Office caters strongly for the
Salem vote. Now the Salemltes are
tired of vote furnishing for others to
