Mrs. Emma Dietrich OF New York.
made a very interesting and pleas
ing address in the Methodist
church last evening to a fairly good
audience. Mrs. Dietrics is here In the
interest Of the W. c. T. u, and is a
a good speaker. There will be a recep-
vion to the ladies of the town this after

On account of the members of the
Manning bar being engaged in the
state supreme court, the trial of the
breach of promise suit has been
set for May I'd. Mayor Abe Levi has
been appointed a special Judge. to
trv the case, and he has set Thursday,
May I'd, as the date. All the witnesses
in the cause must be on hand prompGlE
as the court proposes to concluoe 'he
case without any delays.
The Pinewood magistrate was in
town last Saturday, and he says, 1t is
doing him AN injustice to say be does
not enforce the law against liquor SELL
ing in his community. He says, if the
people who make such an intimation
will be as quick to aid and encourage
him in the discharge of his duties, the
Illicit sale of whiskey will have rough
road to travel. There is much in what
Magistrate Ragin says. There is an
element who have knowledge of this
lawlessness who would not give min.
utes time to aid an officer in suppress
ing it, but instead, this element will
sit around on store counters and crltl-
clze the officer. If the citizens OF
Pinewood will give Magistrate Ragin
a helping hand there is no reason why
that section cannot be made as law
abiding as any other.
'sKing Pharo&h" a pony owned at
one time in Manning by Mr.. w. T.
Hawkins, and sold by him to DR.. D. s.
BOYD, of Columbia, a veterinary sur
eeon, has been Sc thoroughly trained
by DR.. Boyd that he has become the
best educated horse in the world, and
the newspapers speak of him as
wonder. Doctor Boyd has sold a one
half interest in the horse for Sl2, 800,
and he will be put on exhibition at
Golden City on Lorg Island. n. Y, a
suburban seashore park. Since the sale
of the one-half interest an amusement
company has offered to pay the owners
s., 900 per week for thirty weeks to
show at the Jamestown expos tion. The
horse can read, add, subtract, multi
ply, distinguish colors, and numbers
of other things far beyond anything
ever before seen in dumb animal.
We are informed that MIR. W. P.
Hawkins still retains an interest III
this horse-prodigy and perhaps after
he has finished making money out OF
the 'sdamD Yankees as Senator Till
man would say. he vii! come to Man
ming for q rest and afford us an oppor-
tunity of seeing his stunts.
