A Sad Death.

Died in Manning Monday, 18th. about
noon, Miss Annie Gertrude Bradham, IN
the twentv-fourth year of her age. Miss
Bradham had been q long but patient
sufferer, and every attention that love,
skill and money could secure was
lavished upon her to prolong her life.
The deceased was the eldest daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. D. NJ. Bradham. who
idolized her, gave her every as
vantage for accomplishments. Miss
Bradham was graduate of Welsh
Neck High School, and completed her
education at Greenville Female College.
She was highly accomplished and bril-
liant young lady, and manifested every
indication for a successful career. She
was OF a ooble disposition, strong mind
ed, sensible, and general favorite. Her
friendship was sincere and worth cher
ishing, those who came in contact
with her were captured by her woman
" graces. She will be missed hya large
circle OF relatives and friends. Through.
out ner long illness, the entire com
munitv was ever on the watch for some
sign OF Improvement, and it was a daily
inquiry, shave you heard anything
from the sick room?" This was con-
slant inquiry from anxious friends; but
it was not to be, she was called to
another sphere, called to take her
place "where the weary are at rest,
where Joy and eternal bliss ever reigns.
The funeral took place yesterday al
ternocn. in the Presbyterian church,
which edifce had beer rendered to the
congregation OF the Clarendon Baptist
church for the occasion. Rev. G. W.
Blanchard, pastor Of the Clarendon
Baptist church, of which congregation
the deceased was a member, conducted
the services assisted by Rev. y. +.
Woodson OF the Presbyterian church.
The popularity of the deceased was at
tested by the large congregation at
tending the service, and as further
mark OF respect for the dead, and sym
pathy for the bereaved, the business
houses of the town closed during the
funeral.
The sermon preached by Mr.. Blanch-
ard was one of the most beautiful and
impressive We have heard in years, it
was g merited tribute to the dead, an
appealing exhoruation to the living, and
a word of comfort to those the chasten-
ing hand had been laid upon.
The services were concluded at the
grave, and as the body in its beautiful
white plush casket was lowered into the
grave the choir sang that lovely impress
sive hymn "Abi6e with me- The pail
bearers were Messcs. r J. Alderman,
Louis Levi, Fred Lesesne, S. Oliver
O'Bryan, c. J. Lesesne and E. r. Plow-
den, Jr.
The floral tributes we're magnificent,
mostly costly floral prices from the hot
houses of Columbi and Charleston. The
grave was blanketed under q mass Of
the beautiful tributes of love.

Julian Weinberg has recovered his
bronco, whose wild instincts could not
stand the strains OF piano music. The
broucowas captured not far from where
he had hied himself away near a swamp

he would not tell what he paid for the
beast.
The town authorities put Henry
Smith on the chaingang for selling
liquor. Now they ought to ind out the
white man he was selling ~ it for and
substitute him for Henry. Smith IS j
doless negro, but we are satisfied he
does not sell liquor, If he is guilty OF
anything in connection with liquor
selling it is, that of delivering 1t for
some white man, with the hope OF get
ting a drink for himself.
We are informed that the increased
assessments in Manning viii not raise
but about 5000 more thar heretofore.
There must be something wrong about
this information, or the assessments
have not been raised as much as was
supposed. \ gentleman remarked the
raise is confined to a few, perhaps so:
but these few must have had their prop
erty on the books at al absurdly low
value all along, and the others have
been making fair returns.
Mayor Mouzon went to kingstree TO
investigate that municipal system, with
a view Of ascertaining the method and
cost OF constructing concrete sidewalks.
He returned home very much impress
ed with the improvement in that town.
and attributes the growth to the pull
together spirit OF the citizens. The
property assessment and tax rate is
about on an average with all progressive
towns, but while the people pay taxes
they grow and improve, and buy and
sell their property at reasonable prices.
Last Saturday ''Reddick," one of the

August Rowe, a restaurant keep
er at Dunlevie, shot woodsman
by the name of Clyde Hinton in
the neck last Sunday. Hinton was
drunk and disorderly and refused
TO get out when ordered. He has
been in town before and always
raised trouble when drunk, and lit
tie consideration was given him as
he was considered dangerous. The
wound gave the logger little trou-
BILE as he was able to report for
work the next day.
E. R. Davis, of Beaver Dam,
had twelve ewes which clipped
dollar and a half's worth of wool at
the prevailing low price. and raised
81 lambs, there being nine sets OF
twins. The lambs averaged 95 and
Al pounds and were sold for five
cents. A set of twins weighed 236
pounds, the larger tipping the
beam at 124 and the other at liz.

have recorded this season.

THE BLOOD OF THE MARTYRS.

We suppose one should not be
surprised at the murder of Frances
j. Heney, San Francisco's fearless
prosecutor who has flushed as bold
a set of scoundrels and glafters as
ever invested any community, and
by his relentless prosecution has
driven them to desperation. Prob
ably no city has been as ruthlessly
plundered since Tweed's days in
New York, as has San Francisco.
The chief instrument of the law to
bring them to justice has been the
brilliant young prosecutor who has
probably paid with his life for his
faithful public service.
Thieves have before attempted
to stop prosecutions by numbering
the prosecutors, but they have in
-variably found that were before
they had one relentless enemy they
later had ten. Every law-abidlng
citizen throughout the United
States will now stand ready to CO.
operate with the authorities of San
Francisco in their efforts to con-
Wet the plunderers, and no one
need suppose there will not be able
prosecutors. When one good man
fails at the post of duty there are
Others ready and willing to take
his place. The blood Of the mar
tyrs is the seed of the church. Sc
it is with Justice an dright.--Staun-
ton Dispatch.
Mr.. Heney was shot in the head
in a court of law while the third
trial of Abraham Ruef was in prog
ress, and although he is seriously
wounded the doctors believe he has
a good chance for his life. Fifteen
minutes after Mr.. Heney had been
stricken down by a bullet from the
revolver of Morris Haas, an ex-
convict who had been prevented
by Mr.. Heney from becoming one
of the jurors in a former trial Of
Ruef, the report spread through
out the city that death had taken
the assistant district attorney and
a shudder spread over the entire
community. This report proved
to be erroneous and instead it be-
came known that Mr.. Heney had
recovered consciousness and futher-
more had made the statement that
he would live to prosecute his
would-be slayer.
II will live to prosecute Ruef
and Haas" he declared.
Haas has since committed suici de.
