The following description by Lamszus If
death on the battlefield surpasses even so
titled Napoleon in Hell ;"
g Is that a human being coming up, run

He stumbles upright into the trenches
and tumbles sobbng and bowling among our
rifles. He strikes out at us with hands
and feet. He is crying and struggling
like child and yet man dares go up to
him 4. b. for now he is rising on his knee
and then we see Half his face has
been torn away one eye gone
the twitching muscle of the cheek is hanging
down. He is kneeing and opening ani
closing his hands, and is bowling to for
mercy.
I'VE gaze at him horror stricken and are
parayzed then at length the yokel-
and our eyes thank him for it-raises the
butt of his rife and places the muzzle against
the sound temple bangi and
the MANNED wreckage falls over backward
and lies still in his blood"
Here is another sample of the horror of
death on the battlefield:
Some one comes crawling toward us
he is crawling on all fours 8. he is
dragging something behind him with his body,

Modern War Free from Butchcry.

1t is because of these horrifying pictures
of painted by Lamszus in his book that
columns after columns have been devoted for
weeks in the newspapers of the fatherland to
set modern war in what is said to he its more

they assert, and you find that cruel and pain
giving instruments have been used Today
such instruments are forbidden. The use If
the dumdum bullet, which exploded in the
body and made terrible wound, has been
forbidden
The main purpose in modern warfare is 10
incapacitate the soldier rather than kill him.
With that end in view the bullets today are
such that a man more speedily recover
from bullet wound than was the case in the
past, it is declared.
AS regards the numbers of killed, it is
claimed there was far greater slaughter In
ancient times, when the sword the spear, aud
the bow were used than there is today. With
modern guns, which make the arena of war

demoralzed more quickly if the tide goes

How much greater the slaughter and butch

brought Lamszus compliments from the sec

however, that the book may rank with Toi-

Death OF Miss Florrie Land.

The relatives and many friends of Mr..
and Mrs. J. G. Land, Foreston, S. c.,
we're deeply grieved to learn that the
angel of death visited their home on
Wednesday, March 10, and bore away
their lovely daughter, Florrie Lee.
She was stricken suddenly i'll about
three weeks ago with acute appended
tis, and was taken to the Sumter Hos
pital where all that medical skill and
loving relatives and friends could do
was done for her recovery but her NAL
ady resisted all treatment, and 1t was
seen that she must soon obey the sum-
mons of Him who doeth all things well.
With aching hearts her mother and
father tenderly watched at her bedside
during her entire illness.
Her body was brought to Foreston on
Thursday for interment. The funeral
services held at p. m, were attended
byone of the largest concourses OF peo-
pie that has ever been seen in that COM
munity. The tributes of beautiful flow
ers and the tender words OF sympathy
attested the great love and esteem of
every one for her.
She was a young lady Of most amiable
disposition, truly consecrated Chris
tian, ever ready to speak words Of kind
ness and do deeds of charity to those
around her. She was the sunshine OF
the home, and will leave a place vacant
which can never be filed.
To her parents, to her sisters and
brothers, and all those who will miss
her so grievously, are extended the
hertiest sympathy of the community:

After the second primary last fall l

next general election asking a seat IN

of US could foresee the resignation OF
Mr. Mitchum. making vacancy IN the
delegation from this county.
now offer myself on the suffrage
altar and ask enough Of your votes to
place me in the vacancy referred to.
Taking all things into consideration,
the vote received in the two primaries
last year was very good, and after the
lapse of nearly a year | trust that a
larger number of our people will see
me in a favorable light. Should you
send me to Columbia it will be my en-
deavor TO represent the whole people
and the county.
My principal effort would be in the
direction of better schools, drainage,
good roads aud equalization OF taxes.
or l should say, the equalization OF
property returns?
This being a busy season of the year,
and having been before you last sum-
mer, am not sure that I can canvass
the county before the first primary:
This is corn planting and fertilizer
distributing season, and the hnal re.
suits will retaliate on the careless and
Indifferent planter. Therefore, in this
emergency, I trust to your common
sense and good Judgment in what you
do on April first.
In conclusion, I ask old aid new
friends TO give me this support.

Trinity Waking Up.

We have a nice school with two fine
teachers in charge. The local School
Improvement Association is wide awake
and the school property will soon show
the thrift and energy OF our people
here.
On last Friday evening we had a very
pleasant gathering at the school build
ing and were splendidly entertained by
the minstrel from Big Branch school.
All expressed themselves as being
pleased with the program. Our School
Improvement Association also put in
some good work on Friday evening In
serving refreshments, thereby adding
to the pleasure of the evening and the
purse of the association.
Trinity has a Sunday school which is
well attended, and on last Sunday they
elected delegate to the State Sunday
school convention. We have preaching
in the school auditorium on the after
Moons of the second and fourth SUNDAYS
at which time the hall is usSally crowd
ed, but the Trinity church building is
progressing rapidly and it will net be
long before we can seat comfortably the
large congregations, who are so much
pleased with our preacher.
There will be Trinity box party at
Trinity school building Friday evening,
the 18th inst. An admission fee OF i've
cents will be charged.

Editor OF The Manning Times:
On yesterday at the campaign meet
ing, read the following telegram:
"Col. D. B. Peurifoy. Walterboro, S.
G. Your wire. W. P. Beard has no
authority to speak for me at any time
or place and Goes not represent me in
any capacity. If l lived in that Con-

"Cole L. Rlease.''
March 22nd, 1913.
The candidates who followed me,
Messrs. Padeett. Hughes and Whaley,
made an attack upon me on account OF
this telegram, stating that had not
read same at the other campaign meet
ings, and had withheld it until reach
ed here, because Clarendon was con-
sidered strong for Governor Blease.
These insinuations are absolutely un-
true, for as matter of fact did not
receive the telegram until a few min
utes before the meeting opened. The
telegram was sent to my brother at
Walterboro, and forwarded to me here
by MIN.
Governor Blease knows the position
