lowing report:
Mrs. Mary A. Richbourg, widow Of
the late Ellis r. Richbourg, died at her

to advance the Kingdom Of Christ both
at home and in foreign fields.
Her life was radiant illustration OF
the sweetness and light Of our holy
religion: she was gentle and trustful
disciple of Jesus, faithful unto the end.
We recognize gratefully the blessing

That this tribute be published in the

THE CHOSEN SEVEN.

Our city election has been had,
and the chosen ones, are decid-
edly the choice of a large major
ity of towns citizenship. Each
and every member of the coun-
cil-elect received a very flatter-
ing vote, and we have no doubt
that each Of them appreciate
this manifestation of confidence
on the part Of such a majority of
their fellow citizens. We did
not vote for the ticket elected,
with one exception, our prefer
ence being for the other ticket,
not because we did not have con-
fdence in the personnel Of the
chosen ones, but because we had
as much confidence in one set as
the other. We believe the de-
feated set is as progressive and
as patriotic as the other, with as
much of the towns welfare un-
selfshly at heart. We now be-
lieve there are men on the new

Letter to R. L. Bell.

Dear Sir: A big mill-owner, Spartan
burg, S. c., wanted 5000 gallons OF
paint, and bought by price: paid cents
less than ours: got 4 ''lead and zinc'
paint: but the lead was sulphate oflead
not carbonate. Sulphate costs about
half: and covers about half.
That paint was adulterated about six
times as much as the cents paid for.
He ';saved'' cents: and it cost him 30.
Oh no: it cost him more than that;

1t was thin, too; some loss there:

There was too much dryer in it. The
maker made something on that: he
didn't.

muck by that cents.

Messrs. Marion Conyers and Lewis of
Timmonsville were here on business
last week.
Rev. II. B. Browne of the Sumter
district. preached here last Saturday
and Sunday. The organ was played by
Miss Minnie johnson, assisted by Miss
Lille Lavender of Spring Bank, the
choir was in fine training and made
excellent music. Miss Lavender takes
pleasure in lending helping hand for
these occasions.
There was large number of bache-
lors at church last Sunday, and the
girls in Easter attire were eyed by
them closely and fondly.
My old lady did not want me to write
this week, but when she went out to
cook supper, I slipped off and
scratched down a few dots any
way for luck. She also advises me not
to enter politics the coming season as
she wants me to stay home with her to
keep the poultry out of the garden, and
mind the calves in the pasture, Just as
a young merchant of Manning used to do
when he lived in this section.
Step up candidates, and let US hear
from you. Let every one of you run on
your own hook. and not try to make
capital out OF foolish rumors. was

" last week about making him candi-
date-maker, and what he said should be
conclusive proof that be proposes to let
every candidate weed his own row, a
very proper course for a man to take
after having been honored by the peo-
pie as often as he has. If other candi.
dates had adopted the same course in
the past, they probably would be better
off now. In my Judgment, man in Of
fee, or a man running Tor office should
not carry other peoples burdens on
their shoulders, as they have troubles
of their own. and should be grateful for
what they get.

gives Clarendon over 1900 vot-
ers, and no sane man believes
it possible for such an increase
in population or interest since
the election four years ago when
the total vote did not exceed
1850.
We are reminding our readers
of this matter, not for the pur-
pose of charging any particular
man with responsibility, for we
propose to let the dead past
bury the past, but for the pur-
pose Of urging the people to
awake to their interests before
it is too late. Every reasoning
man must know, if he will con-
slider for a moment. where men Sc
cure position by corrupt meth
DDS, such methods must sooner
or later creep into the offices
which they hold, and that is the
reason why we hear Of so much
rottonness in States where pollt-
ical rivalry has unearthed cor.
ruption and made convicts OF
even United States Senators.
Let the people go to their CLUBS
on the 23rd, choose an executive
committeeman who will frown
upon fraud, and elect a county
chairman who will hold the
scales of justice with an I'M
partial and an bipartisan
hand, then send a delegation to
the State convention which will
endeavor to make rules that
look to the publication Of our
election methods. If the people
will do this, it will put a stop to
SANDER and trickery, debauchery
and bribery in our primary elec-
tions, and result in giving US
moral, good, and safe men to
conduct our governmental af-
fairs.

Editor The Manning Times:

Editor The Manning Times:
We made ourselves conspicuous last
week. bv our absence from your col
umns. but we can find so little OF inter-
est to write about, that we fear by too
frequent use of our pen, we might weary
hoth you and your readers.
Love of the beautiful is an inmate
principle of the human heart. With
the advent of spring, at well nigh
every home, the fair ladies may be
seen from time to time. as busy as bees,
working among their geraniums: and
other choice plants and flowers. The
ladies tGod bless them, we think the
very loveliest flowers of all, though we
cannot say of them as Solomon said OF
the -'they toll not'' for, indeed,
the dear women are important factors
in the domestic problem ir these times
of scarcity of labor, poor help etc.
While on this interesting subject
would say that one afternoon not long
since, our attention was attracted by a
lovely young lady riding through the
main streets of our town. We at first
thought her a fair stranger, but upon
inquiry, learned that>it was Miss Gussie
Appel of Manning. She has been
here before, and is pleasantly remem-
bered. We trust she may come again,
in the near future, and grant us more
than passing glimpse of her charms.
We notice from the last Manning
papers that our townsman: Mr.. G. NJ.
Mason, is a candidate for clerk OF
court. No doubt all the candidates for
that office are good men, but we are
quite sure none better than Mr.. Mason.
Friend Charles may rest assured OF our
vote, and all that we can influence.
\ sad accident occurred Friday about
mile below here. Two negroes were

other awoke barely in time to make his
escape. The railroad lawyer, Mr.. De
Jongh came down to inyestigate-the
Jury eXonerated the railroad from any
blame. The unfortunate mans re-
mains were sent to his relatives at

Proper Treatment of Pneumonia. =.

Pneumonia is too dangerous a disease
for any one to attempt to doctor himself
although he may have the proper rem
edies at hand. a physician should al
ways be called. 1t should be borne
in mind, however, that pneumonia al
ways results from a cold or from an at
tack of the grip, and that BY giving
Chamberlain Cough remedy the
threatened attack of pneumonia may be
warded off: This remedy is also used
by physicians in the treatment OF pneu-
monia with the best results. DR.. W.
J. Smith, of Sanders, Ala, who is also
a druggist, says of it: II have been sell
ing Chamberlain's Cough remedy and
prescribing it in my practice for the
past six years. I use it in cases of
pneumonia and have always gotten the
best results" Sold by The r. B. Lor-

Congressman Legare with a
party Of his congressional col
leagues captured Charleston last
Saturday, and from the publish
ed accounts, Charleston made
good her reputation for hospi-
tality. The bringing of these
Congressman to Charleston will
have a good effect and will make
it easier for that city to get re-
cognition whenever appropria-
tions are asked from the general
government. There is nothing
like having an active friend in
court.

council who will disappoint those
that are counting upon doing
things which will provoke opposi-
ton on the part of even minor
ity of citizens; we refer to indis-
criminate franchises, and a
discriminating setof waterworks.
1t is believed by quite a number
that it is the intention of a few
interested persons to have coun-
Gil install a waterworks plant to
protect the business portion Oh
the town and pay for same oy
general taxation. In fact, we
heard one of the present council
say it should be done, and later
on as the town could afford it e2-
tend the plant. In our OPINION
council will not be able to get
such a measure through by a
unanimous vote, because there
are men in that body who real
ize the injustice of such action,
and will vote to prevent it. But
should council adopt such an i'm
position, it may as well retain its
lawyer to defend its action, for
we know whereof we speak, when
we say there are a number OF
respected property owning citi-
zens who will seek protection
from such an imposition in the
courts. This is not a threat, but
a warning to council that
although under the election
| avs a minority is IN
able to obtain results at the
polls, if that minority is dis
criminated against, it can pray
for relief before a tribunal which
does not govern by the force OF
numbers, but by law.
It is the duty OF all good citi-
zens to lend every encourage
ment towards making the ad-
ministration of the new council
a success, this we will endeavor
to do. 1t shall be our purpose
to give it praise for that which
we regard to the interests OF the
entire people, and whenever in
our Judgment council proposes a
measure which we regard not
essential to the general welfare,
we shall endeavor to point out
by reasoning our objections. The
council is made up of good busl-
ness men and it is hoped the
town will be governed in a wise,
conservative manner.

HEARST IS ENTITLED TO FAIR TREAT
MENT

The Hearst matter being pub
lished in several county news
papers is no indication that the
editors Of those papers are in
favor of nominating Hearst for
the presidency. We take it,
these editors are disposed to
treat Hearst as they would any
other Democrat, fairly, and not
keep his literature from the peo-
ple while they are urging the
nomination of some other Demo
crat. If the friends Of Judge
Parker will send matter to this
paper we will pleasure in Civ
inc our readers the benefit Of 1t
and every other candidate for
the Democratic nomination will
be treated likewise. The edi-
torial columns is the place to
find the editors choice, and so
far as we are concerned, it mat
tiers not much to US who is nom
mated, anything labeled ''Demo-
craft will receive the vote of
South Carolina. If Mr.. Hearst
is the corrupt man, some news.
papers are painting him, why is
it they did not let it be known
when he was a candidate for
Congress. If we remember cor
rectly, they went into ecstacies
when William R. Hearst was
made a member of Congress, and
some that are fighting him now
were among the number. They
charge he is trying to buy his
nomination to the presidency.
VIII they tell US whether or not
he bought his election to Con-
gress: If he bought his election
to Congress he should have been
exposed then, and if it was all
right for him to buy a seat in
Congress. it must be right for
him to buy the Presidential
chair.
In our opinion the newspapers
are making a big mistake in
charging Mr.. Hearst with cor
ruption at this stage of the
game, for it might come to pass
that Hearst will be nominated.
and these same papers will turn
tail the other way and bark loud
his virtues. Our choice for the
Democratic nomination is Arthur
Pue German, but from present
indications he will not be nomi-
mated. We favor him because
We believe he will come nearer
solidifying the party than any
other man so far named, and for
the reason, the South is under
everlasting obligations to him
for preventing the ';force bill'
being enacted into law.
Judge Parker of New York
seems to be the favorite with
South Carolina's leaders, and it
looks very much like the friends
of Parker will succeed in cap
turing the Convention, and
should they do so, William Jen-
nings Bryan may not take kind
ly to such a nomination, and the
party will go into battle with
divided ranks. We want a win
ner, let it be German, Hearst,
Parker, Gray or Bailey, it mat.
tiers not just so he can bring all
the elements of the party to-
gether and plant the Democratic
banner on Capitol hill. The
delegation from South Carolina
should not be hampered with
iron clad instructions, nor with
any unit rule shackles, our dele
gates will be on the ground and
in better position to Judge if left
to use their best judgment, for
matters not who is nominated,
the nominee must be South Car
Olina's choice.

The breath OF spring has touched the
Their boughs once lifeless to the eye,
Now hearken to the voice of spring
And send forth buds so sweet and shy.
The flowers awakened by sunshine,
Now ope their beauteouS eyes and
blink,
The tender voice OF spring speaks
low
awake, sweet flowers, and do not
shrink
The violets sweetlY smiling now
Revive the lovers broken heart,
For springing sweetly in his path
70 him their fragrance they impart.
Or resting on the maidens breast
Impart charm so sweet and rare
That was not there before the maid
Had deftly placed the flowers there.
The fragrant yellow jessamines creep
Their fragrance waited all around
The woodlands with the silvery strains
OF singing birds do now abound.
The breath OF spring has touched the
rose:
Now at the fair blue sky she peeps
Aroused by rays of warm sunshine
Now slowly into bloom she creeps.
The maple bows her graceful head
And swings her boughs in sweet
spring air.
Arrayed in crimson, springs first
dress,
superbly rich: divinely fair.
The stately oak stands tall and grim
Appareled rich in green and gold
The birds fit lightly through his
bougbs
Singing the song that ne'er grows
Old
Now many voices fill the air:
The farmers call. the singing birds,
The crickets chirp, the horses neigh:
The cowboys shout: the bleatlng
herds.
The rippling brook flows gently on
Across the meadows grassy breast
And lonely on it's bank there stands
The bower that holds the sly birds
nest.
Tis here in spring the blue-eyed maid
Lists to the tale OF some fair youth
Who by her blush and downcast eyes
Divines with Joy the hidden truth.
We gaze upon the fair queen earth
Adorned by God with beauties rare
And know that He in mercy sweet
Has granted us another year
G..
