clothes, having no others. The order
also makes no distinction between
men and women. 1t continues:
ANY soldier of ours found guilty
of clemency will be punished with
severest penalties"
Here follow instructions for the oc-
cupation of towns and villages.
I'm passing through village:
"If time be short, and if the troops
are only passing through, you will
penetrate rapidly, bayonet fixed,
prepared to fire. In every case
take hostages Immediately (priests,
rabbis, schoolmasters and wealthiest
citiZens). Quitting the town, you will
carry them with you until you are five
miles out, and you will kill them with
out mercy, if a single shot is fired
from the town or village.
Notify the population at once to
give up all their arms and that per-
QUESTIONS will be made. Every house
in which an arm is found must be de-
stroyed." (What constitutes an arm
is not specified, but is left to the in
depreciation of common soldiers, who
are at the same time ordered to show
the greatest hardness, severity and
suspicion. Consequently the family
carving knife in the kitchen dresser
may cause the house to be burned.)
"If the Inhabitants (of such house)
cannot be found you will lay hands
on the first person you happen to meet
on the street, who could undoubtedly
give information respecting the alb
sent, and if he refuses to do so imme-
diately, execute him.
an cantoning in village:
Assemble the population and an
nounce: the slightest hostility, even
that of single individual (the Ian
guage, Intentionally ambiguous per-
mits the inference that it includes
women and children) will decide the
fate of the village and the hostages.
Not more than three men may stand
together in the street at any time, and
after shutdown none may quit the
house. Every house must be kept lit
all night.
"BOth officers and men must be con-
tinually on the lookout not to permit
any inhabitant to walk or stand with
their hands in their pockets, because
they undoubtedly contain arms CD.
! In general it is ordered to act with
the greatest severity and hardness"
Further:
Every inhabitant" (sex or age left
open) met with outside of a town or
village must be considered to be a
member of band who has hidden his
arms somewhere or other and we have
not time to search for such hidden
arms. All such prisoners, if there be
the slightest doubt of their intentions,
should be Immediately executed.
AS "thc greatest severity" hardness
and suspicion are ordered, such doubt
of intentions is equivalent to an order
for the determination of the entire
peasant farmer population, peaceful
and unarmed, outside of towns.
"Yet, once more, brothers and SOL
diers, discipline, dignity, but also the
greatest severity and the greatest
| hardness.

Lausanne, Switzerland, Dec. 10
The Austrians are carrying on their
warfare against the Servians with a
severity probably not matched in any
of the other theaters of war, accord
ing to letter received here by a wom-
an whose husband is in Servia as an
observer. From Valjevo he writes:
Austro-Hungary is waging against
little Servia war of determination
of people. Everything l see proves
it; orders to kill civilians the burning
of villages, explosive bullets, bonn
bardment of open towns, bombardment
with grapeshot. ! have had proofs of
all this on the spot by my eyes and by
documents.
l have already described the explo
sive bullets, whose cartridges shells
bear the double eagle and stamp of
the government munitions factory at
Wellersdorf, near Vienna. They are
called Einschusspatronen," and they
were unknown before the war The
bullets contain charge cf powder,
carabio of illuminate and po;a%ar de
tonatOr exactly as for elephant shoot
ing. They are supposed to be used to
rectify the range; because the bullet
when striking an object explodes and
makes smoke, which permits the
shooter to see the pIint he has hit
if he has a good telescope. A single
| army surgeon in Valeicvo has 1T
men frightfully wonn,led by those
rGrge finders dying OH his hands.
| Today ! send ycu extracts from a
little circular or folder distributed to
the Austro-Hungary troops by their
officers. The original document is be-
fore me; translate from II textuafly.
The folders has seven pages of printed
text, and the following heading: ak.
X. 9 Korpkommando. Instructions of
Conduct Toward the population of
! Servia.'
| They begin thus:
"The war leads us into a hostile
country, inhabited by population
animated, with a fanatic hatred to-
ward us; land where assassination
is considered-as was proved by the
catastrophe of Paraievo-a permits
sable act, even by the superior classes,
to be celebrated as kind of heroism.
with respect to such a population
all humanity and pity of heart are
completely out of place; they are even
harmful, because such considerations,
sometimes possible in the time of war,
would here work danger to our own
troops.
81 order, consequently, that during
the entire military operation the
greatest hardness and suspicion be
applied to the entire population.
''To begin, will not suffer that any
person whatsoever in possession of an
arm, but not in uniform, whether
found in groups or isolated, shall be
made prisoner; all such should be ex-
ecuted at once"
Yet, the Austrians are perfectly
aware that all Servian soldiers of the
third ban, corresponding to the Swiss
Landstrurn, for thirty-six to fifty
years, and called out to defend the
hearth, wear their civilian peasant

the power to do this we do not
know, if it had, it seems to US
they did not give it proper con
sideration, because, sewerage
system like everything else
deteroates, and may not be worth
actual cost, then again, the
question arises, will the present
sewerage answer for general
sewerage? Of course, it Is
claimed the engineer who plann'
ed this said it was large enough
for town of 10000, we hope
this is true because, if it will
answer, it is right for the town
to buy it, but these matters will
be thoroughly investigated and
the public informed before the
vote on the bond issue is taken.
The petitions to council was
largely signed asking it to call
AN election, in fact: we do not
know of any one present to have
declined to sign: but some OF
the signers did so with the un'
derstanding that before the vote
is taken a full and complete
statement will be made to the
public, showing the cost Of the
project, the amount of bonds to
be issued, the streets where the
pipes are to be laid, what ar
rangements can be made to
empty the sewerage into the
swamp, (for this is private prop.
erty,) and whether or not the
tax levy will have to be increas-
ed. The Mayors statement
that it was his opinion, an in
crease in the levy would not be
necessary to meet the interest
on a S4O,OO0 bond issue had much
to do with getting signatures for
the petition. It is now up the
progressive ones to show clear
ly just what may be expect
ed. The only opposition to the
Improvement that we have heard
advanced, is to issuing bonds for
a system of water works and
sewerage to cover only a part of
the 5own, if it IS proposed to
run pipes through the principal
streets, so the masses can be
benefited we do not think there
will be any difficulty in getting
the peoples endorsement, but
the majority will not vote upon
themselves a bond issue to cover
a limited area.
There is no gainsaving it if Man
ing should have these improve.

will pay for it, but when we say

If the town cannot give the svs-
TEN so the majority of the prop

better to wait until it can, rath-

Manning May Have Waterworks Soon.

The meeting called to consider
the proposition of water and
sewerage last evening was fairly
we'll attended. about fifty citi-
liens were present. Mayor
Bradham presided and after out
lining the purpose of the meet
ing, and giving to the audience
such figures as he had, the dis
cussion Of the matter was in
vited. Messrs D. M. Bradham,
W. C. Davis, Charlton DuRant
and others spoke in favor Of the
towns need for the systems;
there was no one to oppose. The
only difference of opinion was
with reference to the present
private ownership Of the sew
erage. w. G. Davis one of the
stockholders claimed it was a
paying proposition, in, that it
was paying a dividend. but Mr..
DuRant also one of the stock
holders claimed that he had
never seen the color of the
money which the sewerage was
paying out IN dividends, and he
thought the voters should be in
formed with regard to the dis
position of this private sewerage
whether or not it is proposed
the town should buy it out, the
price to be paid and all about it.
AS we understand it, some
former council granted a fran
chise to a stock company to lay
a sewerage up Brooks street,
with the understanding that
council was to have the privi-
lege to buy it from this company

The Charleston Get.to-gethsr- Party.

The town of Manning was yesterday
honored with q visit from the Charles
ton Get-to-gether club who are enroute
touring this and other States in the
business interests OF South Carolina's
seaport. The party arrived at $3.50 and
was met by representative body OF
Manning's business men with automo-
biles, and as quickly as they could be
whirIed up town they were taken to
the court house square where there
was large number OF ladies ana gen
tlemen to greet them. Mayor A @
Bradham did the hoporS for the occa-
sion, and did them we'll and gracefully.
Aafter Metz band which accompanied
the tourist had played a beautiful Sc
lection Mayor Bradham in fitting
terms delivered an address OF welcome,
and then introduced Mr.. Wilson G..
Harvey, president of the Enterprise
bank Of Charleston, who responded IN
g. heart to heart business talk in which
he stressed the Importance OF the people
OF this section joining hands with those
of the coast to make the port OF Char
lesion what it should be, the greatest
on the Atlantic coast. His remarks
we're full of good hard sense and inter-
spersed with fine humor.
Then Mr.. A. V. Smell the secretary
of Charleston's chamber of commerce
was introduced by Mayor Bradham,
and he too, talked business from the
word 20. He showed the importance
of the people of this section getting in
touch with the seaport and the neces-
sity OF encouraging home enterprise.
Mr.. Smell was enthusiastic in his utter
ances of the future prospect OF South
Carolina, and with a pull.to-gether
spirit the people OF this State can save
much money at home by embarking IN
enterprises that are now taking their
money abroad He said that not over
twenty per cent of the products Of our
people is consumed at home when
there should be all of it induced to re-
| main AS i. is now these products are
sent away in he raw aud we are COM
pelIed to have it brought back IN the
manufactured state, thus paying i'm
merse profits which can be saved at
home
The party expressed their apprecia'
tion for the reception they received at
the hands of the people OF Manning,
many OF them had never been here be-
fore and did not conceal their adnira'
ton for the beauty of the town 1t was the
desire of Mayor Bradham and those
who aided him IN receiving the visitors
to induce them TO give US q long stay
so they could have been shown more OF
the town and some Of the surrounding
country, but their schedules had al
ready been fixed and it could not bt
} altered
The party was accompanied back t'
J their train by the citizens and given

and We are sure those who did not at
tend missed great treat. The crowd
was not az large as we expected 1t to
be, but this is attributed to the fact the
farmers are backward with their work.
The children seemed TO enjoy every
moment of their stay in Manning. Sew
eral Manning ladies gave their assis-
tance to make the occasion the great
success it was.
