Died last Sunday morning at his home
in Silver, Captain A. W. Thames, Sr., aged
about sixty-three years. The deceased was
taken sick Saturday afternoon with indi
gestion, but the immediate cause of his
death was paralysis of the heart. Captain
Thames was one of Clarendon's best and
most useful citizens. He was noted for his
gentleness of manner and kindness of
heart, and has several times been selected
to represent this county in State conven
tions. In the death of this man Claren
don has lost a valuable citizen, and the
poor of his community a triend. The ed
itor of thejTimes extends to the bereaved
widow his sincere sympathy.
If the yoang men that visit the ladies
these ni ,hts will send a wheel-barrow
full of wood and a can of oil on ahead, the
old man of the house would feel more
kindly towards them, and might get up
out of his bed even at mid.night to invite
the young man to come a ain. It would
be a good fashion to start, young men.
Instead of sending a note asking to call,
send a good load of wood and a can1 of oil;
it it is accepted it will be understood the
young lady will be pleased to receive you.
If it is not accepted, then the young man
is to understand that the dogs will be
turned loose at an early hour and the old
man has the toe of his shoe loaded with
dynamite.
An exciting runaway occurred Monday
afternoon near the court house. The horse
became startled by a piece of vood falling
from a load he was hauling, dashed for
ward, threw the driver from his seat, ran
recklessly, scattering the wood as he went,
until he reached the street gate of Mrs. E.
C. Alsbrook's lot. Without any hesitation
he leaped the gate which was of sharp
pointed fencing four feet high. With a
crash he completely demolished it with the
wagon, speeding on up the narrow lane un
til lie reached the six-foot lot gate, then
with a fruitless attempt to go through he
w -s compelled by close quarters to stand
and pant. He made no etiort to kick.
Strange, neither horse, wagon, nor harness
was injcred.

An Interesting Letter from Mr. C. L.
Emanuel.
Enrron MANINo Tums:-According to
promise I will give you a short account of
my trip to Texas. I left Charleston on the
morning of January 1st with Mr. J. H.
Hikson, Chief Deputy Marshal of So-ith
Carolina, and a step-son of United States
Marshal Hunter. Our business to Texas
was to bring back a prisoner. (J. T. Till
man), who was convicted at the November
term of the United States Court in the fa
mous Barrett conspiracy case, and who, -it
was supposed, was at the time of court a
fugitive from justice, as he was under bend
and did not appear for trial. Through the
United States Marshal of -South Carolina,
Tillman was arrested at Port Lavaca, and
was lodged in jail at Victoria, Texas. Our
trip to Texas was a pleasaat one, as we had
a pleasant stop-over at nearly all' the larg
est places we we went through.
After arriving at Dallas, Texas, one of
the many telegrams that were sent to Mr.
Hickson, along the route, was one notify
irg him of the sad and sudden death of his
mother. who died on the night of the day
we left, with apoplexy. and he, of course,
had to come back to -'outh Carolina by the
first train, and her body was embalmed and
sent to Lancaster to await his arrival be
fore burial. Mr. Hickson was the only
living child by her first marriage, and a
noble and devoted son,writing to:his mother
at every stop along the route, not knowing
she was dead. As Mr. Hicksou as called
home before our papers were fixed, there
was nothing for me to do but to remain in
Texas, and await his return.
I took advantage of my leisurf time and
took a bird's eye view of the finest port of
Texs. My stopping place, Victoria, is a
town of about 6,000, on the banks of the
Gandalope river, twenty-eight miles from
the Gulf of Mexico. The population is
about equally divided between Americans,
Mexicans, Germans, and Negroes. Some
of the largest cattle. men live in Victoria,
and it is nothing unusual to have a million
aire pointed out to you, and by the way, I
saw the eattle king of Texas, who lives
near Victoria, and is said to be worth from
three to five millions. The farmers held a
meeting whileIwast here,andlthey are going
to plant largely of tobacco this year. Ex
perts say the finest grade can be grown
there. I saw cotton in Texas that had the
anpearance of not being picked at all, and
in some places I saw where they were
thrashing the stalks and turning ander as
much as one-half a bale to the acre. I also
noticed that in Louisiana they had not
gathered more than two-thirds of the sugar
cane alongithe route, andI was jinformed
that syrup was so low tbat some who had
already made it, turned it- out on the
ground rather than go to the expense of
buying barrels. Texas is certainly the
coming State of course. I found the hard
times general~but from all appearances, less
complaint in Texas than elsewhere. .1 saw
old men who had never seea a pound of
guano, and that being the case, they stand
right now where we did whcn cotton was
at 8 cents per pound. for they can make
more per acre without anything under it
than our lands will produce with all the
fertilizers we can get; taking that into con
sideation, they will flourish making 4 cts.
cotton, while we would starve to death.
Texas has its disadvantages, of course, but
were I asked for advice, I am of the opin
ion of Horase Greeley, when he said, "Go
West, young man."
My advice to the farmers here is to plant
more small grain, for I do not think I saw
as much as one hundred acres on the whole
trip along the railroad, and in fact I did
not see an acre of small grain while in
Texas. While the future looks very dark
from a financial standpoint, with our South
Carolina climate and lands that will pro
duce almost anything, there is no reason
why we should not be the happiest and
most prosperous peeple anywhere. Raise
some cf every thing that we can possibly
make, especially since cotton with us is no
longer king.
In conclusion I feel it my duty to sa-y a
few words in reference to my prisoner, Mr.
Tillman. ,At the time of, or prior to, his
arrest, he was working in Texas, for the
Georgia Co-ope' ative Loan Company, of
Atlanta.. and in daily communication with
said company~he neaver once changing his
name. Ut course I will not pretend to say
whether he is guilty or not, for thc crime
of which he was convicted in his absence,
but from letters, etc., his excuse for not be
ing at his tri-d, appears to me, a good one,
-and I am confident that he will have no
trouble in getting a new trial. By some
chang. in the business he - was working,
he was forced to give it up, and at the time
of his arrest he was clerking in a hotel for
hi board, not being able to get back to his
trial I stopped in Atlanta with Mr. Till
man to see his father, who is a Mlethodist
minister, and a splendid man. His broth
er, Mr. Cla.s. Tillman, ia a merchant of At
lanta and I don't know when I have met a
ma with whom I was more impressed.
Yours, &c.,

THFROUGH A WHidT OF EiFROR.
Dispensary Law May be Blrought 35efor
Ohs Federal ui.reine Court.
CoLMmA, S. C., January 20.-It is
stated on good authority that the dis
pnsary law will be taken before the
federal supreme court next week. It
has not yet been definitely decided how
the matter will be brought to the at
tention of the court, but the under
standing now seems to be that it will
be through a writ of error, and If such
be possible it will be upon the feature
of the law which forbids the introduc
tion of liquor into the state except with
the certinecates of the commissioner.
It is heldi that this feature of the law
is generally considered unconstitution
al and that it will give the best gounda
for the writ to the s'-:greme court. It
is stated that the case wIll be present
ed by Messrs. Clot & Chaffee, on the
part of the city of Alken, and Messrs.
Douglass & O'Bear, who have recently
been employed to look after the ease
by Mayor Dargan, of Darlington.
The state authorities have been look~
ing for such an attack on the law fox
some time. and seem to appreciate the
fact that t'As is about the most vulner*
able feature of the act, especially as it
bear.s upon the federal inter-state laws.
WHERE TOBACCO STANDS KING.
Marveou-a Growth of the Tobacco Indus
try in South Carolina.
SHAm.EsTON, S. C., January 20.-The
News and Courier publishes today a
special tobacco edition, showing thE
marvelous development of the tobaccc
growing industry in the Pee Dea see
tion of South Carolina in the last few
years. The fullest details are given as
to the method of cultivation, the varie
tes of seed best adapted to the soil:
the cost of production and the profits
on the crop, and the experience of a
large numaber' of tobacco planters is re
lated to show that tobacco is king. To
bacco growing is a flourishing industry
throughout the Pee Dee section of the
state., but it has had Its most successful
and satisfactory developments in Dar
lngton county, to which the News and
Courier's review is largely confined.
Ten years ago not one pound of to
haceo was grown in South Carolina foi

were raised and marketed in Darling

SOUTH THE INVITING FIELD.
President Lovering Faces the Situation
and Speaks of Southern Advantages.
BALTixonx, January 26. -"Mr. Wm. C.
Lovering, president of the Arkwright
club, which represents all of the large
New England textile manufacturers,
was invited some months ago, after re
turning from a visit of investigation to
the south, to deliver an address before
the New England Textile club on cot
ton manufacturing in the south. This
address, which has never before been
made public, is given out today, and
will be published in this week's issue
of the Manufacturer's Record. In this
address. which is a very full and com
prehensive study of the whole subject,
Mr. Lovering says:
"Tho time has passed when New ugland
manufacturers need to give but little attention
to .otton manufacturing in the south. We
ha ve come to realize that the south has enter
ed the race in earnest and to stay. Henceforth
),. must be The survival of the fttest. The old
mills in the south, with their antiquated me
chinery. have been succeeded by first class
mills with the beet equipment, and we find
mills in the south today that will compare fav
orably with our New England mills, built in
every respect to do their work in the cheapest
and most Improved manner. While it has long
been conceded that in certoin lines of cosrae
goods the advantages are in favor of the south.
northern manufacturers hare comforted them
selves with the statement that the manufae
turei of the finest goods would remain with
them, and that the south could not make suwh
goods. In this we sre mistaken. There is an
actual Increase in the production of finer goods
in the south, and where manufacturing is once
firmly established, it is only a matter of a short
time when the labor employed will improve
in skill and adapt itself to the finer work.
There seems to be no reason wty as ine yarns
may not be spun in the south as in any other
section of our country."
