Governor Blease on last Thursday pa
roied Robert Brown, who was convict
ed in the Clarendon court on the charge
of manslaughter and sentenced 10 two
years on the gang. J. Il. Lesesne, Esq,
presented the petition to the governor,
which was signed by some OF the jurors,
county officials, and other prominent
citizens. The petition was especially
strong with the signatures of citizens
in the Summerton section where Brown
is well known to the signers who were
familiar with the circumstances. Since
Brown has been a convict he has been
used as janitor for the court house.
NJ. L. Garrett, convicted for the kill
ing of his son-in-law. Aaron Campbell,
and his father, J. 81. Campbell. IN Lee
county, was electrocused ia the peni-
tentiary last Monday. Garrett at one
time lived in the Fork section OF this
county. and was Il very ignorant man.
His foul deed is attributed to fierce
jealousy. Garrett had served term in
the penitentiary for misconduct with
his daughter, who afterwards married
Campbell, and it was the hatred he bore
Campbell that caused him TO commit
the double murder. His last request
was that he be killed quick with as
little pain as possible.
: The tobacco season was formerly op-
ened in Manning last Thursday, and
while the quantity was not so great as
is reported at other markets, the prices
paid here was satisfactory, and will no
doubt have it's influence upon the fu-
ture OF this market. The warehouses
at the other markets can attribute their
successful opening to the Intelligent
campaign of newspaper advertising
they conducted. at all OF these markets
the warehousemen did not fail to place
good, live and attractive advertise
ments in the newspapers published in
their sections, with the result, they at
cracted large sales upon their floors.
It is paying investment to advertise
in the county newspapers.
Manning as tobacco market is fast
convincing the grower that he can do
as we'll here rs on the best markets in
the State. The prices paid by The
buyers on the floor of the warehouse
ma1aeed by Clark & Cothran are so
pleasing that those who carry their
tobacco there do not fail to go back
home to urge their neighbors TO take
their product to Clark 4 Cothran S
warehouse. Read their advertisement
in this issue Manning is working
hard to make this first class market,
and it can only succeed by giving the
growers OF the weed the very best ad-
vantages, this Clark & Cothran is
faithfully endeavoriDg to do, and they
should be encouraged. Bring your
tobacco to them.
An attempt was made last Friday
night to burglarize the railroad depot
in this town. but was frustrated by Mr..
H. D. Clark, the agent, who happened
to be in his home. hearing an un-
usual sound coming from the direction
of the station, Mr.. Clark went out TO
investigate, and he saw the outlines OF
a man trying to break into one OF the
doors, he slipped back into the house,
got his gun and stationed himself in the
dark, when the man appeared again he
fired, the fellow dropped pick axe
which it was afterwards discovered he
had stolen from the .ool house near the
station, ano made off. Mr.. Clark does
not know positively whether any Of the
shot took effect or not, but he made the
fellow pull his freight. An examination
shows that five out OF the nine buck shot
from the gun lodged in the door where
the man was trying TO enter, and the
man had already succeeded in breaking
one lock and was working on the other
when interrupted by the rafting OF buck
shot in the vicinity of his carcass.
