THE ANNNG TIMES. -- Wednesday, November 13, 1889. No town has ever improved that'< neglected to support its paper. The President has set apart Thurs- a day, November 2S, as a day of Na tional thanksgiving and prayer. t College presidents get about $5,000 t a year, jockeys get $10,000. In prac- l tical America it pays better to ride a 1 real horse than it does to ride a r hobby. Young men take care! A young lady in South Salem, Ohio, is reported to be at the point of death, as the re suilt of internal injuries caused by be- r ing hugged too tightly by her sweet heart. If the girls of a family are gentle and courteous one to another, the boys are sure for very shame- to rub off the sharpest edges of their be- a havior, and be helpful and kindly to 2 their sisters. s All men have their frailties, and 0 whoever looks for a friend without n imperfections will never find what he a seeks. We love ourselves notwith- 2 standing our faults, and we ought to t1 love our friends in like manner. b Mr. Edison has succeeded in put- " ting a very human cry into a lifeless doll, but he has not succeeded in re moving the vociferous cry from a live baby. There are feats beyond even the reaches of the genius of an Edi son. t] The Farmers' Alliance has one a great thing to do, and that is to stick. b If the members will only unite and t( pull together they will easily win and C control the cotton market, but if they t] grow weak and divide then they will f be whipped. t] English treasury officials are be- i ginning to wonder if the big guns of d d their navy are really worth what they cost. Each time a 110-ton gun is P fired $1,200 goes out of the treasury. It comes high, and there is a decided disposition to abandon the big guns. t Judge Norton has granted bail to c W. B. Meetze who murdered James I. ti Clarke in Columbia some time ago, and C who was tried for the crime he coin- c: nitted at the recent term of court n and a mistrial was entered. Bail was b fixed at $10,000 which he promptly a gave and was discharged. o "The last lie of the jute men," says f the Na/ional Econom ist, "is to the ef feet that the cotton bagging is taken from the bale and jute substituted at the city compresses.. However well stuck to, this is simply a lie. Cotton covered bales go through and on shipb'ard without discrimination." f~ ~The United States will this year C produce 35 bushels of corn for every t: man, woman. and child in the Uniteda States. It must not be supposed that is every person in the United States , will be called upon to eat this amount ii of corn, as a great deal of it goes in- s< to pork, and a very large amount in to whisky. The son of a farmer living in the ' rain belt of eastern Colorado attempt- I ed to climb a corn stalk on his father's t place the other day, but became dizzy t and fell to the ground, breaking his h arm. The boy's parents talk of bring- a ing suit against the government for I allowing crops to grow to such abnor- P mal dimensions.a A European savant says that lifea may be indefinitely prolonged by reg- ti ularly drinking the juice of the lemon. And another European savant, who e knows just as much-or as little-says a that the surest way to shorten life is t to drink lemon juice. Life would be , a very plain and simple problem if it were not for the advice -of the wise i men. London is threatened with a bread e famine, not from want of material, I but in consequence of the prospective '3 bakers' strike. The men feel aggriev- I: ed at having to work so many hours t' for such small pay, and consequently y they have given the masters notice e that they will cease work on Novem- s her 14 unless their demand is con- c ceded. IJ Mr. John A. Pizzini, a prominent citizen of Richmond, Va., who has been paralyzed for more than a year, did not fail to cast his vote Tuesday for the Democratic ticket. He was afraid to undertake to go to the polls ~ in a carriage, but sat in a chair and was rolled to the voting place by a policeman. This is a sample of the1 spirit in Virginia which snowed Ma hone under by 40,000 majority. An editor works 3G5 1-4 days in a I year to get out fifty-two issues of a paper; that's labor. Once- in a while f somebody pays him a year's subscrip tion; that's -capital. And once in c awhile sonme son-of-a-gun-of-a-dead beat takes the paper for a year or two 1 and vanishes without paying for it;t that's anarchy. But later on justice will overtake the last named creature,t for there is a place where he wvill get his just deserts; that's hell.-Er. 1 The 1ate Governor John L. Man ning sprang from families whose sons were vrominent in the executive his tory of South Carolina. His father, Richard I. Manning, his grand uncle,;r James B. Richardson, his uncle, Johnt Peter Rlic-hardson, and he himself all occupied the Gubernatorial chair of this Commonwealth. Our present Chief Executive, John Peter Richard' son, was his first cousin. Besides~ these a relative by marriage also tilled' this honored position, Gen. Wade, Hampton, a nephew of his first wife. A prominent Savannah merchant'C has just r-eturned from a tour of'3 Southern Georgia. He reports the farmers prospe-rous and the country in splenldid condition. The fair weath er- has enabled the farmers to harvest their crops in good condition, and they wvill realize from 25 to 35 per' cent. more for them than they did for last year's crop. Cotton picking is going right ahead, and by the middle 1 of this month the crop will have been gathered. The staple is as fine as it has ever been in that section of Geor gia. The most of the cotton grown nd gathered in South Georgia wvill 1 .a in, Saannah up to the standard.' Priitins the News. A paper is printed to publish ti sews. Whatever its politics or it bility, it will be measured by th ullness with which it prints daily o< urrences. A man who pay is subscription enters into ontract with the paper to giv ii the news, and every time an iten f local significence is suppressed th >aper violates that contract. 0 ourse, an editor or publisher mus lisriminiate between what is new nd what is not. There are happen ogs which must be omitted fror heir nature and character. The bet er policy of newspaper men is to ca er to good taste rather than curiosity gut it frequently happens that pub ishers are called on to suppress item a order to spare the feelings of per ons and families. It should be un erstood that the editor is not th uardian of such feelings. He can of dictate the doings of a communi F, nor can he keep out of print the ecords of legitimate events. W ip the above from the Au gus/ An Accommodating Court. The court of general sessions fo: partanburg convened on Monday 1st instant, with Judge Aldrich pre ding. The town election took plac n the same day, and such was th< oise on the streets that his Hono: ljourned to the following morning he Regyt er correspondent, in noting ie fact, says that "probably cour usiness will be suspended again of 7ednesday, as the city will then b< a stir caused by the circus." Tier( one precedent on record which thi: raordinary proceeding reminds u: , and which is no doubt fresh in th< finds of our readers. Tom Mackey, the corrupt satrap o: ie sixth circuit, while holding cour this place in 1875, suspended th< usiness of the court one day in order attend in person an election in Can( reek township, held to determint fe "no fence" question. The Judge r a wonder, advocated the side of ie landowners on that occasion, ani ood around the polls with two largi avy pistols belted to his waist, bull ozing and cursing every negro anc oor white man who dared to say ( ord against the side he espoused he result was that "Tom" carriei e election by such a large majorit3 rat the votes were very careless3 >unted. The Judge was serenaded iat night in town after his heroi< )nquest, and in his harangue to th owd made the astounding (?) re ark, that it was not the tally list ut the votes in the box that his party Lways counted. He hoped his Dem ratic friends would learn a lessor om the day's work.-Lancaej edger. The Origin of Lynch Law. (Pittsbwunj, ( Pa.) Dis'patch.] I have seen a brief article, copied 'omn your columns, about the origir lynch law. In the article, Col iharles Lynch, of Virginia, is men. oned as the person from whom this Law" (?) took its name. The truti , that it is probably as hard to tel 'ho was the founder of lynch law as is to tell "who struck Billy Pater. Appleton's Cyclopredia says, "Ac >rding' to some authorities, the tern as derived from a Virginia farmei amed Lynch, who, having caughta ie, instead of delivering him t< ie law, tied him to a tree and flogget im with his own hands. Anothe: :count says that 'in 1087-8 on< ivnh was sent to America to sup ress piracy; but as the laws were nol ]ministered with much vigor in the lonies, owing to the difficulty o: lhering to the usual forms of law' in 1e newly-established territories, it is resumedl that this Judge Lynch was cpowered to proceed summaril2 ainst pirates, and thus gave rise tc e term.' Still another account hich seems to rest on no good au. iority, connects the term with Mr synch, the founder of Lynchburg a. But it can be traced to a muel rlier date in Ireland. In 1493 Jame: 'itzstephens Lyrnch was Mayor ani 7arden of Galway. He traded large rto Spain,and sent his son thithe > purcha5a cargo of wine. Th< oung man squandered the mone2 atrusted to him for this purpose, bu acceeded in running in debt for irgo to a Spaniard, by whose nephev e was accompanied on the returr oage to Ireland, where the mone: as to be paid. Young Lynch, t< onceal his defalcation, caused the paniard to be thrown overboard n1 was received at home with grea onor, as having conducted a mos uccessful business operation. But alor on his death-bed revealed t< he Mayor of Galway the crime whicl is son had committed. The youn, aan was tried before his own father onvicted, and sentenced to be hanged is family and others undertook t< revent the execution; and the fathe nding that the sentence could not b~ arried into effect in the usual wvay onducted his son up a winding staic ray to a window overlooking the put c street, with his owvn hands fastenea he halter attached to his neck to taple in the wall, and acted as execu According to the above lynch law nearly four centuries old. Therei et another account of the origine lynch. In the sketch of the old Per ieton District, contained in Robe2 lills' interesting "Statistics of Sout ~arolina" (published in 18'26), w ead the following: "At the footc he mountain resides Captain Job ynch, the author of the famous law alled by his name, of very notabi eet." McDonu>DFURMix, Ramsey, S. C. Pen Your Stock. The nightly penning of sheep c attle upon small plats of ground fc few nignts at a time, and then mnos ng the pens, and repeating, may b ude exceedingly profitable. A corn iderable number of acres may hus greatly improved in a year. It:i too common practice for the catti >f a farmer to stand in the lanei 'ont of their house every night, an heir droppings wash into the branc yelow by the first rain. But it ma > said that it costs too much to d dll this. It costs something truly, br I may cost you more to make a bal f cotton on poor, worn out land; an he time will surely come when -ui ,.ase to m-nro altoether. The Distance to Hell. e A person, who by birth, wealth, and s education should have been a gentle e man but was not, went to see a coal mine. The miner who took him down s was a Christian, and was much pained a by the profane language used by the visitor. As they descended the shaft they felt it getting hotter. At last the heat became so great that the visitor said: "Dear me it is terrible hot! I t wonder how far it is to hell?" "I s don't know the exact distance, sir," re - plied the Christian mine, gravely, 2 "but if one link in the chain gives way you will be there in a minute." This plain answer was the means of arousing the profane gentleman to a - sense of his perilous position. In the case of every unconverted man there "is only one step-a breath-betwixt - him and death, "and after death the judgment." "You Kissed Me.' The following poem was written in 1867 by Miss Frona Corey, a lady un der 20 years of age. James Redpath, the historian, thought so much of the poem that he had an edition printed on white satin. John G. Whittier, the Quaker poet, wrote of it and its young author, that she had truly mastered the secret of English verse You kissed ae ! My head Dropped low on your breast With a feeling of shelter And ininite rest, While the holy emotion My tongue dared not speak Flashed up in a laue From my heart to my cheek. Your arms held me fast : Oh ! your arms were so bold Heart beat against heart In their passionate fold. Your glances seemed drawing My soul through my eyes As the sun draws the mist From the seas to the skies. Your lips clung to mine Till I prayed in my bliss They might never unclasp From the rapturous kiss. You kis;ed me ! My heart, And my breath and my will In delirious joy For a moment stood still, Life had for me then No temptations, no charms, No visions of happiness Outside of your arms. And were I this instant An angel possessed Of the peace and the joy That are given the blest, I would fling my white robes Unrepiningly down, I would tear from my forehead Its beautiful crown To nestle once more In that haven of rest Your lips upon mine. My head on your breast. You kissed me ! My soul In a bliss so divine Reeled like a drunken man Foolish with wine; And I thought 'twere delicious To die there, if death Would but come while mazy lips LWere yet moist with your breath; If I might grow cold .While your arms clasped me round In thecir passionate told. .And thes~e are the qulestions5 I ask day and night: Must nmy lips5 taste no more Such exquisite delight ? Would you care if your breast IIWere mny shelter as then, And if you were here Would you kiss tme again ?

We have on hland one of the finest lines of Cooks ever brought to any market. We ave in this line of Cooks all numbers and sizes. Small enough for the young man just mar ied, and large enough for a family of twenty. We have taken great pains this year in the se ctioi of our stock of Fancy and Staple Croceries, ud all we can say is that we want all the good accounts in town and in the country. We can nd will sell you all the goods you want cheaper than you can buy them, and all you will have > do to convInce yourself of this fact is to come and see, and you will be convinced thato tock by far is sup)erior to anything in this section of the State. We keep no goods but vat bey'Trom first hands, and all such we can recommend. Besides this we have abolished the old mode of transacting business. In former years, we wing to the fact that we like all Americans like to keep up with the fashion and the ways of all round us, have sold goods too high in order to make a good showing of assets. But the writer had a dream. He was in his office, he had ledgers piled high, that represented housands of dollars. 3-8 claims out of date. barred by the Statute of limitation, 3-8 barred by he right of the landlord, and 2-8 barred by the drought and expiration of wind in the lungs'of Id ponies and blind mules. A11 these amounts kept running on: each year they were footed p as assets--a big bubble made, filled with air. and like the boy's soap bubble soon burst, ten ut gone, account worthless. le had run the tenant in the spring and summer, when naught vas in sight: the landlord took him up when the cotton came in. He awoke, and swore that he ould never follow such business again; that bright as the prospects might be, that armed with 1l1 the wisdom and energy lie could comniand, and closing his ear to the suffering of the past,' lie would forever quit the old mode, and change his business to something tangible. So this year we ha. e done so-we will sell you all the goods you want for credit or cash at ower pri'es than you ever bought at before: but let's have some idea when you are going to pay. WV don't want an' more millenimniiii accounts or notes. TWe may not be present to collect them uid the banks don't want any paper over four mouths, and we sincerely trust we will get the rop of 1889 out before it comes, for we have one of the largest crops this year that we have - had. No introduction is needed. no apology IS oflered for 1889. It comes freighted with the wisdom of c'entlies and each corn crib is loaded with the richest reasurethat God ever gave mal. Bread no object and Bacon at the price we are selling, no )le ,ali complain. And all should feel good this year. Let us get out of debt; let all of. us Uomincne asew, and the prices we are selling any and all fuies of goods at to-day, will coi ince all that come that some miraculous change has taken place. Well it has. We Want to Live, and Want You to Live! md we therefore shall try and piease all in prices and goods, and we want to build up in Man in; what Clarendoi County needs. a first class store where you can get what you want andare n need of at a living price. and in order to conVince yoi of this we must ask you to come and gee Yes. Crops are magnificent this year: cotton bringing better prices than for years: let is get out of debt. and work on a cash basis. I lli prepared to offer for the cash the greatest nducements that any merchant caii olfer. Conic to see me. Yours respectfully, MOSirS LEVI. BIG BR GiN S H. T. AVANT'S RACKET STORE.
