Dr. Hermon Holleyman Huggins.
Dr. Hermon Holleyman Huggins
died at his residence in this place,
Saturday morning, Feb.1Tth, of rheu
matism of the heart, aged fifty-nine
years.
The public was not altogether un
prepared for the sad news; for a slight
attack of the same disease the Tues
day before, and another attack the day
before his death, warned his friends
that his life was in great danger. Yet
even his family would not yield to the
probability. Death came sudden. Up
to a few minutes before his demise no
special apprehensions were felt. But
the third attack was too much for him,
and before the family could all be
gathered around his bedside, his noble
spirit had gone to meet its Maker.
Dr. Huggins was born and raised
in Darlington county. He was grad
uated in medicine in Philadelphia, at
the Jefferson Medical College, in 1852,
and shortly after this he moved to
Clarendon.
He was one of the earliest settlers
of Manning, coming to this place
about thirty years ago, where he has
since been engaged in the practice of
his profession or in the drug business.
About six years ago be was appoint
ed to the position of Treasurer of
Clarendon county, which position he
held to a few weeks ago. He did not
solicit this motion, and his recom
mendation Bad been sent on to the
Governor, before he knew anything
about it. He was also one of the
wardens of this town for several years.
Dr. Huggins was a member of the
Methodist church, of which he was a
steward and a trustee.
Dr. Huggins was the last of three
noble brothers, all of whom in less
than two years have died. A sister,
Mrs. W. J. T. Harvin, died a little more
than two years ago, four of the family
thus dying in about two years.
Dr. Huggins was a man loved by
all who knew him,-a man pure in
purpose, noble in character, honest
and charitable in all his dealings. He
was a man of whom his enemies, if
he had any, could not say that he was
ever guilty of a wilful wrong.
Fragments From Foreston.
FoaEsrox, Feb. 18.-The measles
have entirely gone, and we are now
thoroughly at work, notwithstanding
the wet weather, of which we have an
abundance.
The sound of the "dynamite" bomb
may be heard on all sides blasting
stumps, and whoa, gee, haw, following
close by turning up the soil. I think
at least two of our "crack corn plant
ers" have an eye to the five hundred
dollars offered by the agricultural de
partment for the largest yield.
Our merchants also wear pleasant
faces, for trade is very good for the
season, cross ties, wood, &c., helping
out the cash trade.
Mr. B. O. Cantey has commenced to
make laths for fruit boaes, plastering,
&c., and is turning them out very sat
isfactorily, at the mill in town form
erly run by Mr. Hudgins.
The Rev. Mr. Carson as recently
Ihoved in oar midst. We wish him a
plasnt sojourn among us.
Peace reigns supreme now, though
some of our "bloods" got their dan
der up on "Valentine's day," and had
a real old time fisticuff.
Foreston is on a genuine "boom,"
nothing needing now to make it last

teacher. Are there none in the coun
try? F.

MR. ESDrrcB:-It has been some
time since I have written anything

The commtnity may congratulate
itself upon the two papers which rep
resents Clarendon in the field of jour
nalism. The Toxis is by no means
behind in quantity and quality of
good matter given out to the people
every week. Surely every family in
the county should have it, and be
blest with its weekly visits. In our
quiet little suburban town we are
moving onward and upward in this
land of sunshine, preparing to give
battle all along the line.
Our two railroads will enhance the
pleasures, and give life, vigor, and
advancement to monotonous cares that
environnus. We look forward to all
that awaits this community. It may
be some months before the iron horse
traverses this region, yet the time
*will come, and at no distant day,
when we can board the train at our
very doors for the city by the sea.
What marvelous progress this? Sum
merton and Panola are to be linked
by railroad. No more sparring, for
Capt. Wilson is determined on the
completion of his road to St. James.
When this object is accomplished
Panola and Snmmerton will be akin
in spirit and in heart.
Never in the history of time have
we seen so much rain. The entire
low lands are flooded with water;
public roads are in a terrible condi
tion. Much - complaint arises, but
the remedy lies only in dry weather.
They cannot be worked till the water
subsides. -In discharging my official
duties, I find great complaint, much
unrest in reference to the condition
of the highways. Bridges have been
thoroughly inspected and put in safe
condition. Overseers have been ap
pointed for each section of road, so
that everything is in ample working
Planters are busy getting ready to
.plant. The oat crops are unusually
fne, fall seeding especially. Num
bers are diversifing their crops this
year: a large acreage of corn will be
planted; less fertilizers used than
former years; sugar cane will be
planted to greater extent, the idea
seeming to prevail with some it is
useless to buy that which can be easily
raised on the farm.
The hog crop has been shorter than
usual. The cholera- did its destruc
tie or in smea localities. With
the misfortune attached to the farm
ing interest the past year in the way
of short crops, and our people are
getting down to hard pan in the way
of economy, and propose to retrieve
these misfortunes with sober minds
and judgment in raising their own
supplies.
Mr. Charley Martin had the most
fortunate pleasure to wed on the 14th
one of Panola's most charming ladies.
The bride was Miss Mary Eliza Jen
kinson, the lovely daughter of our old
friend C. T. Jenkinson. May exquis
ite pleasure and happiness attend this
young couple amidst the cares and
anxieties of a married life.
Now, Mr. Editor, in my wayside
dots you can do as I have always
counseled. If acceptable, well and
gcad, if not let them find a hole in
the waste basket. I have had much
to do in latter days, could have writ
ten much news, but think the Tmrs
might be better represented this year
by another correspondent. A change
will add more life to the reading pub

Death of Bishop McTyeire.
NAsavILFF, February 15.-Holland
N. McTveire, senior Bishop of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
died this morning at 9 o'clock, at his
residence on Vanderbilt University
Campus. He was born in Barnwell
County, S. C., July 18, 1828. He
joined the church in 1837, at Cokes
bury School, S. C. He began to
preach in 1845, when he joined the
Virginia Conference. In May, 1846,
the first General Conference of the
Church South was held at Petersburg
and Mr. McTyeire was sent to Mo
bile, Ala.
In Mobile he met the lady who be
came his wife, a cousin of the lady
whom Commodore Vanderbilt after
ward married. This was the first link
in the chain of causes that gave origin
to the great Vanderbilt University.
He was stationed at Demopolis, Ala.,
Columbia, Miss., and then at New
Orleans, where he built Felicity
Church, and founded the New Orleans
Christian Advocate in 1851. In 1858
he became editor of the Nashville
Christian Advocate and remained in
that capacity till February 19, 1865,
when he left the city and did not re
turn until 1867. He was elected
Bishop in 1866.
It was owing to Bishop McTyeire
that Commodore Vanderbilt made
the princely gift of $1,000,000 and
William H. Vanderbilt $500,000 and
Cornelius Vanderbilt $30,000 to Van
derbilt University, of which Bishop
McTyeire was made president for life.
The funerel will probably be from
the Vanderbilt University chapel on
Sunday, and the body will be interred
in the University campus.
I The State senate to-day adopted
resolutions of sorrow at the death of
Bishop McTyeire.
Bad Health.
Last summer I was in bad health
feeble, with little or no appetite, una
ble to attend to my business- I began
taking S. S. S.-took nothing else
and in a short time my appetite re
turned; gained strength; increased
nineteen pounds in weight in less than
a month, and my health was restored.
J. M. M&nar.
Abbeville, S. C., Oct. 25, 1888.
I was the victim of the worst ca
tarrh that I ever heard of. I was en
tirely deaf in one ear, and all the in
side of my nose, including part of the
bone, sloughed off. No treatment
benefitted me, and physicians said I
would never bi any better. I took S.
S. S. as a last resort, and it has en
tirely cured me. I have been well
four years, and no sign of return of
the dreadfuul disease.

Due West, S. C., Oct., 1888.
Swift's Specific has cured me of a
malignant breaking out on my leg,
which caused intolerable pain. It was
cled eczema by the doctors, four of
whom treated me with no relief. I
candidly confess that I owe my pres
ent good health to S. S. S., which in
my estimation is invaluable as a blood
remedy. Ms ut Err

Death of Jas. M. Staggers.
Mr. James M. Staggers died at hii
residence in this town on the 9th in
stant. He was the oldest citizen of
the place, and so far as we know, the
oldest man in the county. Had hE
lived five days more he would have
reached the age of eighty-six years
The disease of which he died was
cancer, the location of which was or
the lower part of his face, which made
its appearance several years ago or
the under lip. It was of slow devel
opment for a long time after its firsi
appearance, and did not cause muc
pain, but for the past year or two the
diseased parts became enlarged and
the pain increased in severity unti)
its victim suffered day and night the
most torturing agony. But during
all the time he was thus so sorely af.
flicted he did not cease to move about
and superintend 'his business, until
a short time before his death, wher
he was compelled to take his bed
from exhaustion.-Kingstree Record
