Another Kick.

Why give the communication OF Five
Voters in YOUR issue Of the 18th such
prominence? Are you and Five Voters
irving to make fun of honest and truth
ful complaints that are being made
about the condition of the roads. and
the extravagant and useless work that
is bein. done? | believe OK Swamp is
in bad condition. But also know
there is not enough sand under the
bridges to raise the causeway two feet,
and we would request the Five Voters
to keep quiet about 4 canal IN Ok
Swamp. For this reason, our Board
of Commissioners have done some very
foolish things in the past, and they
may now try the canal. And can
safely enter Il protest for the taxpayers
OF Clarendon county against canalllng
Ox Swamp for the benefit OF people
that have been trying to cultivate a
few acres o. swamp lands. | would say
this to Five Voters, if you have any
good roads in Your section. insist on the
Supervisor 10 stay away from them.
Just as soon rs he finds good piece OF
road he will do something to it. and II
he does such work rs some he has done
in our section, YOU don't need it.
Now, we don't believe in, kicking un-
less we are hurt. and while we have
not a bridge in the county with sand
enough under it to build a causeway
one-fourth of a mile two feet high, we
certainly have the slacRest work that
imaginibly could be done. We could
safely say, and prove it. that for every
50. that has been spent over here,
there has been about Is cents worth OF
work done, and some of this has done
more harm than good. With all due
respect to the Supervisor and the other
two gentlemen on the Board, we would
suggest that they stop all work on the
roads. or work only impossible places
in roads, apply all funds not so used to
past Indebtedness, and try if possible
to get the county out of debt by the
time their terms are out. Then, as good
citizens of our county, help to elect a
Supervisor, a live, energetic young
mar. A man that has shown that
he is capable of doing something
for himself. Then, and then only can
we expect good service for the county.
l have no desire to say anything to hurt
anyone. but when we see and know
that the county funds are being squan-
dered. We know it is time to kick,
and kick hard enough, strong enough
and straight enough to hit the obstruc-
ton. and get it out of the way.

Open the Schools.

The trustees of the various school
districts, except Manning and Summer
ton, are hereby advised to open the
white schools in their respective dis
tricts, Monday. October End, and the
negro schools, except Manning. Mon
day, November 18th.
Our purpose in fixing the above

seen and appreciated: is to avoid hav-
ing both classes OF teachers present
their claims for approval and payment
the same day.
If it is found impracticable to start a
school at the time above given, and the
postponement is for four weeks 1t will
serve the same purpose.

THE DECREE.

This suit was brought by the plain
tiff to have marriage ceremony, en-
tered into between the plaintiff and the
defendant, declared to be void. All OF
the issues were referred to Thomas e..
Mcleod, Esq, who has taken the tes-
timony and has reported his conclusions
of law and OF fact at some length.
From the nature of this report. and
from the nature OF the testimony, it
will not be necessary to discuss this
case further than to say, that If the
common sense of people entrusted with
the performance of the marriage cere-
rnony in this State will not protect par
ents and infants from entering into
hastv and i'll considered marriage con-
tracts, the legislature should make
some regulations providing a severe
punishment for the performance OF a
ceremony improperly, and throw some
protection around the homes OF our
people, the very foundation Of society.
The conclusions of and Judgment OF
this court, and the alleged marriage
CONTRACT sought to be entered into be-
tween the plaintiff and the defen-
dant is declared to be that and void:
and it is declared that neither Of the
contracting parties acquired any rights
in any manner whatsoever, as to prop
erty or otherwise, by virtue of said al
legged contract.
This matter is determined by me at
Chambers with the written consent OF
the parties.

Letter to 7. c. Owens.

Dear Sir: a painter complained that
our cans are too full unhandy: spill.
It's way we have: It's handler not
to be full: but we have q weakness for
full measure. Our gallon contains eight
pints: the usual "gallou" is seven.
Well think it over again: but we like
a full can. How much short would you
like a barrel? Seven gallons would be
the proportion.
Short-measure suggests that the
shortage is probably not in the cheap
est ingredient.
Guess we'll stick to four quarts to a
gallon, and fifty gallons a barrel.

Hurrah. For the Peoples Tobacco

of Tobacco selling well and the common
grades as high as ever they sold in
this State. While bright Smokers and
Cutters are strong at good prices,

Inc high prices. The manage

are wide awake, experienced to-
bacco men. who are doing their utmost
to give their patrons the benefit Of
their experience and judgment in get
ting good prices for all placed on their
floor, and they are greatly encouraged
both by the large breaks of Tobacco
brought them in the past ten days and
by the good prices obtained for the
Tobacco sold, whole loads of 400 to
1900 pounds having sold for y to IS cts.

house can but be conducive to the BEST
interests Of the Tobacco growers of this
section and the Tobacco planters will
be serving their own best interests by
giving The Peoples Warehouse such
encoura cement as will warrant the
management in keeping it open.

TRAFFIC IN SLAVES.
The Way Sales Are Conducted In
the Marrakesh Market.

The Way Sales Are Conducted In
the Marrakesh Market.
In his article on "The Slave Market
at Marrakesh" in Harpers Magazine
s. L. Bensusan gives vivid picture Of
this terrible traffic, which goes on ap-
proved by the Moroccan government.
He describes the beginning Of the sale
as follows:
'"The crowd at the entrance parts to
the right and left to admit twelve
grave men wearing white turbans and
jellabias. They are. the delals, or auc-
tioneers, and the sale is about to begin.
Slowly and impressively the delals
advance in line to the center of the
slave market almost up to the arcade
where the wealthy buyers sit ex-
pectant. Then the head auctioneer
lifts up his voice, and-oh, hideous
mockery Of it all!-he prays.
"Now each delal has his people sort
ed out, and the procession begins. Fol
lowed by his bargains, he marches
round and round the market, and I'M
derstand why the dust Was laid be-
fore the procession commenced. Some
of the slaves are absolutely free from
emotion Of any Sort They move round
as stolidly as the blindfolded horses
that work the water wheels in gardens
beyond the town. Others feel their
position.
"'Twenty-one dollars-twenty-one!
cries the delal at whose heels the one
young and pretty woman who has not
found buyer limps painfully. She is
from the western Sudan, and her big
eyes have the terror stricken look that
reminds me of a hare that was run
down by the hounds few yards from
me on the marshes near my country
home last winter.
"'Why is the price so low?' ask.
"'She is SICK says the Moor cool.
She cannot work. Perhaps she W
not live. Who will give more in s,.r.'
q case?'"

THE BROKEN VIOLIN.
An Incident of the Childhood of the
Master Ole Bull.


Ole Bull, the great violinist, was born
with genius for music. To him the
swaying of bluebells, the wind and
rain and waterfalls, the music Of birds
and bees-all these were the voices of
nature, and he tried to reproduce them
on his violin.
It is said that the musicians first
violin was given him by an uncle when
he was but four years old, and his de-
light at the present knew no bounds.
"My father wanted me to be a minis
ter" said he in telling the story many
years after, land thought 1 must do
as he wished. But when I was eight
years old he bought me new violin
and arranged to have me study under
teacher, for he said, a minister
ought to know little about music
That night 1 could not sleep. 1 rose
in the night to get peep at the pre-
cious violin. 1t was so red, and the
pretty pearl screws did smile at me so!
pinched the strings just little with
my fingers, and it smiled at me more
and more. I took up the bow and
looked at it. 1t said to me it would be
pleased to have me try it across the
strings. So I did try it just a very,
very little, and it did play so softly. 1
forgot that it was midnight and every
body asleep, and the next minute I felt
my fathers whip across my shoulders.
Ny little red violin dropped on the floor
and was broken. I did weep very much
for it, but it did no good. They did
have doctor to it the next day, but it
never recovered it's health" - Detroit
