Reports We're received here yester-
day to the effect that Police Officer W.
A. Clyde, OF Sumter, was fatally shot
Monday night by a negro whom he was
endearoring to arrest. Mr.. Clyde had
number of friends in Manning and all
were shocked to learn of his untimely
death yesterday morning. The negro
who did the shooting had given trouble
before and had recently escaped IRON
the chaingang.
Little lola, Youngest child Of Mr..
and Mrs. S. I. Till, died in Columbia
last Monday after a few days illness
from pneumonia. Mrs. Til and chill
Gren were visiting relatives when the
child was taken sick. The body was
brought to Manning Monday night and
was buried yesterday morning. Rev.
D. A.Phillips conducted an appropriate
funeral service at the grave.
The store room and stock of general
merchandise belonging to Mr. J. I.
Brogdon, about eight miles northwest
of Manning. were totally DESTROYED by
fire last Thursday night, The origin
of the fire is unknown. Mr.. Brogdon,
VINO lives near the store, WAS awakened
during the progress OF the fire by the
explosion of keg of powder that was
in the store. The stock OF goods
amounted to about $1,000, on which
there was insurance that will practically
cover the loss.
The Sumter Item advises the people
OF Pinewood to hurry up and get into
Sumter county in order y get out OF
paying increased taxes for the building
of new court house at Manning. How
is that for nerve? Who would want to
vote themselves into Sumter county
when other sections have been busy
voting themselves out Of Sumter and
assuming extra taxation III order to get
OUT The good people of the Pinewood
section had better stay where they are.
Old Clarendon is good enough.
Charlie Willie. the young Chinese
laundryman, who has been insane for
several weeks past, after being kept in
confinement for ten days, was released
Yesterday IN charge of his kinsmen,
Sam Lee of Sumter, and Hop Sing of
Charleston, who agreed to assume
responsibility and care for him. He
was taken to Charleston this morning,
and it is understood that in few weeks
his cousin. Hop Sing, will toke him
back to China. The course thus adopt
ed will relieve the State hospital for
the insane OF dilemma and it is hoped
will prove best for the unfortunate
Charlie.

Island CheapIy Bought.

In Southwest bay, in the New Hebri.
des group, there is a small wooded
island of considerable height above the
sea, although only a few hundred
yards in circumference. The story
of it's acquisition is a curious one.
Southwest bay used to be considered
a good place for target practice by the
British men-of-war on patrol duty
there, and this small islet was used
as a target so frequently that 1t
seemed in danger of being gradually
shot away. The chief who owned it
protested and wanted compensation
The captain of a man-ofwar. who un.
derstood the natives, knew that these
claims would be a ceaseless source Of
blackmail unless they were settled
once for all; so he bought the island
for the British crown, paying ten
sticks Of tobacco for it. and every one
was satisfied. The place since then
has been known as Ten Stick island"
