THE MANNEIG TIES Ma n3MIg, s. C. S. A. NETTLES, Editor. WEDNESMAY, January 29, 1890. BRIRT OUTLOOK. If we are any judge of the signs of the times, Manning is about to begin a new lease on prosperity, and the deadness that has prevailed for some time will be a thing of the past. Pro gress and enterprise have for some time been in the distant background, but for the past few months things have been brightening up, and now the prospect for success and prosper ity is very flattering. Our people are coming to realize that success de mands effort, and that prosperity smiles not upon the careless. A. few months ago the Bank was started. Some had grave doubts of its suc cess, but it has succeeded, and is a boon to this town and county. An other enterprise, small but calculated to do good, is the Dime Savings Asso ciation, which was organized two months ago. It, too, will do good, for while it is small, handiing only $200 or $250 each month, yet it will have its influence in bringing the in terest on money to its normal state, and in getting our people to have confidence in joint stock institutions. We must learn the lesson from the fable of the bundle of sticks, and by united effort build up our commercial interests. Every man working for himself, and the devil for all, will re sult in disaster to any town. Manning has many natural advan tages. Our climate is fine; our water cannot be cxcelled this side the moun tain springs; the drainage of the town is all that we could ask for; the health of the town cannot be surpassed by any town in the State; wood is very cheap, costing only $1.50 a cord for oak or pine; our meat and vegetable market is well supplied, for while the county does not by any means furnish all we need, yet fat chickens from North Carolina, and fresh fish and oysters from Savannah, Charleston, Georgetown, Wilmington, and Ports mouth, and other things in the same way, furnish, with pork, beef, eggs, etc., enough to satisfy the wants of any ordinary man. Our fruit market is also well supplied, and the fruit is sold at low prices. Our lands are fully the equal of any in the State, needing only cultivation and improvement. We might go on enumerating many other advantages Manning has, but what is the use ? We all know of them.. uw have not been puttino our shoulders to the wheel, and push ing forward. Manning and Claren don only needs to be developed, and a bright future is near at hand. THE BUILDING AND LOAN. A building and loan association is one of the best institutions for devel oping and inproving a town. It ena bles any one at a very small expense to own a home of his own, and any man who owns his own home, is, all things equal, a better citizen than the one that rents. Sumter owes much of her progress to building .and loan associations, and to the gocd work done on the building and loan plan by some of her progressive citizens, who had the capital to do so. And so with Florence, Marion, Anderson, and many other growing towns in the State. Manning has felt the need of a building and loan, and efforts have been made to organize one, but with out success till now. One was organ ized in this place last week, styled the Young Men's Building and Loan As sociation. It is under excellent man agement4 and will prove a blessing to our town. The association will be able to loan out about $500 each month, to be used in building in the town of Manning or in some other part of the county of Clarendon. We sincerely hope that the spirit of opposition frequently manifested in this place will, in this most excel lent enterprise, be allowed to remain quiet. Help it all you can. If you cannot take twenty-five shares, take two or three, or even one share. It is a good investment viewed in any light. It will enable the borrower, by paying monthly but a little more than his usual rent, to own in a few years a home of his own. Owing to the plan of collecting principal and interest monthly, and immediately putting it out again at interest, and keeping up this plan every month for the life of the association, the in vestor will, by careful calculation, be able to realize in seventy-five months, double his investment. It thus bene fits on every side and in every way. We hope our citizens will give this most worthy enterprise their hearts co-operation and support. Leaving out of the calculation, un seasonable weather, disasters and oth er matters beyond human control, it is safe to say that anything which has~ real merit; for which there is a need, or want; or for which a want can be created; and which sells at a reasona ble price, can be profitably advertised in the newspapers. When doctors see that one of their patients is about to die, they say thai p is case has assumed a "grave" as Our Charleston Advertisers. The M TiM.Es is one of the very best printed papers in the State. Its adver tisements are tastefully set, atiractive, easily read, and are read by almost everybody in the county. The best and most enterpris ing and progressive advertisers see this great advantage, and as a natural result, the TIMES contains the advertisements of the leading business houses that desire the all year-around trade of Clarendon. If our read.:rs will, in trading with these houses, remember to mention the fact that they saw their advertisement in the TDiEs it would be doing us a valuale favor. But most people never think of this. It would help us, and gratify the advertiser. Last week we mentioned several promi nent Charleston houses, and this week call attention to the following sterling Charles ton firms: Just now everybody is making arrange merits for the year, and few firms are more popular in Clarendon than that staunch old house, Smyth & Adger. They have a very large capital invested, and, as far as we know, have given satisfaction to our people. They wish to increase their trade in Clar endon, and will offer as great inducements as any house in the city. By all means give them a chance. A very popular house with our people is that firm of young and enterprising whole sale grocers. John F. Werner & Co. They sell all kinds of choice family groceries and claim that they cannot be undersold. They already have a good trade in this county, but desire to increase it. Give them a showing. Another first class grocery house is C. Wulbern & Co. They make a specialty of dour. This house is firmly established, has a good patronage in this county, and have made a repatation of which they may well feel proud. Guanos are necessary to make big crops, and the Wilcox & Gibbs Guano Co. manu facture and deal in a number of high grade fertilizers. They will quote low prices. Be sure to get their prices. But dry goods must also be bought, and Johnson, Crews, & Co., is one of the oldest wholesale Louses in Charleston. They wish the trade of our merchants, and of our. large farmers who buy dry goods by the' wholesale. In jewelry, Carrington, Thomas, & Co. will be found an excellent -house to deal with. An old house, with a fine business reputation, and a very large stock of jewelry, silverware, fancy goods, etc., customers may rest assured of fair treatment at their hands. BEAUTY SAVED HER. A Case Something Like Mrs. Jlaybriek's, Except the Ending-Story of Ihe Charge .gainst Mrs. Morris, Whose Lawyers Set Up No Defense Whatever. RALEIGH, N. C., Jan. 27.--TIhe trial of Mrs. Cora Seai'; Mozrris for the .iurtder of her husband last August, which has been in progress at Wentworthi, in Rockingham county, several days, ended to-d:'y in the acquittal of the accased. The case has attracted scarcely less inter est throughout the State than the Maybrick and Kniffin cases. Mrs. Morris is a niece of ex-Gov. Scales, and is a young woman of unusual beauty. Mr. and Mrs. Morris re sided at Reidsville, and had been married only about eight months at the time of his: deah.Thy idnot live happily. h The fccaeout during the trial that IMrs. Morris, a fewv days before her hus Iband's death, bought two ou ices of' chloro form from a druggist in Reidsville. Two weeks before Mr. Morris's death, his wife Treposed timt he will her all liis property and insure his life in her favor for $10,000. So desirous was Mr. Morris of winning her affections that he acceded. The will was executed and the policy for $10,000 taken iout with the Mutual Benefit -Life Insurance Comnpany, of Newark, N. J. On the morning of the death of Mr. Mor ris an empty chloroform bottle was found fin his room, and also a handkerchief satu rated with it. Strong evidence was given! against the accused, and the defense offered no evidence whatever. There was a general conviction, however, that a verdict of "not guilty" would be brought. Argument was closed to-day at noon, and the jury was only out five min utes and brought in a verdict of "not guilty." Mrs. Morris was perfectly calm and coin posed, and seemed to expect the verdict to be what it was. General gratification at the 'result is reported to exist at Reidsville. Pimples. blotches, scaly skin, ugly spots sores and ulcers, abscesses and tumors, un healthy discharges, such as catarrh, eczema, ringworm, and other forms of skin diseases, are symptoms of blood impurity. Take Dr.j J. H. McLean's Sarsaparilla. Faults of digestion cause disorders of the liver and the whole system becomes derang ed. Dr. J. A. McLean's Sarsaparilla perfects the process of digestion and assimilatiorn, and thus makes pure blood. Even the most vigorous and hearty people have at times a feeling of weariness and las situde. To dispel this feeling take Dr. J. H. McLean's Sarsaparilla; it will impart vigor. and vitality. The most delicate constitution can safely use Dr. J. H. McLean's tar wine lung bal sam. It is a sure remedy for coughs, loss of voice, and all throat and lung troubles. Clarendon County Farmers' Alhiance , iruectory. PR.ESIDENT- Jantes E. Tindal. Packsville. SECRFErARY-fian'l .J.

Frank J. Cheney, andwhat he ha made of 11atirs Catarrh Cure, which he man ut.tures. It is one of the many busines affairs of Toledo which has iultiplied-au grown under careful managenent, until i has assuned a standing in, the financia world second to none. Readers of the .10 will remember that a few years ago Col Cheney was seriously ombarrassed,'especial ly after making the race for county treas urer. With a load that would stagger the bravest, Mr. Chenev settled down to hard wock. and the result is that every claim against him was settled dollar for dollar This was not done by lucky speculation, but by persistent, energetic pushing of ar article which he believed to possess merits, and he so stated in the liberal use of print ers' ink. Twelve years ago he secured the business which he now holds, and has carried on in the building near the corner of Adams and Huron streets, which %vas erect::a for this special purpose. That it has gained a won derful and deserved reputation is evidenced in the fact that yesterday an Eastern syndi cate put in an appearance and offered Mr. Cheney $250,000 cash for his plant, which, after a short parley, was refused. In this connection it is proper to say that among the great advertising firms of the country Mr. Cheney stands at the front-in fact, at a recent meeting of the Connecticut editorial association the president in his ad dress classed him among the best three in the United States. His advertising depart ment is in itself a model, a corps of clerks being constantly engaged in checking up, etc., so that the slightest error does not pass unnoticed. Ti'doans in g.-neral will be gratified with the good fortune that ;.as come to Mr. Cheney. No other gentI.-man in the city can coumt a larger nuober of friends. HisA stern >usizess en ergy, eonpled with happy social qualities, has zmde him a general fa vorite,, and he will have their b~est wishes for continued succHss. 1is work isanother telling example that Toledo is a good place in which to do business when conductod on proper priucipl.-s. This is proven with Hall s Catarrh Cure. A man who has practiced medicine for 40 years. ought to know salt from sugar; read what he says: TroLEDO, 0.. Jan. 10, 18:7. Messrs. F. J. Cheney & Co. - Gentlemen: I have been in the general practice of med iclno for most 40 years, and would say that in all my practice and experience have nev ?r seen a preparation that I could lrescribte wvitb as much coniidence of success as I can hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by you. Have prescribed it a great many times and its effect is wonderful, and would say in )nclusion that I have vet to find a case of mtarrh that it would not cure, if they would take it according to iirections. Yours truly, L. L. GORSUCH, M. D. Ofice, 215 Sumit St. We will give $100 for any case of catarrh! that !anot !. eared with liah's Catarrh Cure. Taken internally. F. J.

NEw Yom-, Jan. 25. --Miss Nell1i? ly has o.,-plted her trip arnoind the worl. She ;eeUpUh.'d the ta-k in 72 day-, G hours, and 11 miinutes, having covered during her travels a distance of 23,000 miles. Miss Biy reached Jersey City over the Pennsylvania Ruailroad at 3.51 this afternoon and wasgiv en a hearty reception by a crowd of friends and admirers which had gathered to. greet her. Whistles of steam craft on the river gave her a noisy welcome as she crossed the ferry, and the salutes tired from Batttery park and Fort Greene p~ark, Brooklyn, ad ded to it. In New York she held a recep tion at the World office on her arrival. There are times whzen a feeling of lassi tude will overcome the most robust, when the system craves for pure blood, to fnrnish the elements of health and strength. The best remedy for purifying the blood is Dr. J. H. McLean's Sarsapaiilla. Sick headache, biliousness, nausea, cos tiveness, are promptly and agreeably ban ished by Dr. .J. H. McLean's liver and kid ney pillets (little pills.) If health and life are worth anything, and you are feeling out of torts and tired out, tone up your system by taking Dr. J. H. McLean's Sarsaparilla. Dizziness, nausea, drowsiness, distress af ter eating, can be cured and prevented by taking Dr. J. H. McLean's liver and kidney pillets (little pills.) For a safe and certain remedy for feve' and ague, use Dr. J. H. McLean's chills and fe ver cure; it is warranted to cure. No need to take those big cathartic pills; one of Dr. J. H. McLean's liver and kidney pillets is quite suflicient and more agreeable. Hie Was ai Colored Preacher.

A WIsow PLAN.-While many plants in the window are often chary of bloom, to the great disappointment of their owners, the oxalis has this merit, that it is never without flowers iii season, and will reward, by its abundance of bloom, the attention bestowed upon it. It will entirely fill, especially if more than one bulb be planted, any basket, to the exclusion of all else, for it is a vigorous grower, and its leaf stems are equally profuse with its flowers.- F 'li J uazie. A RENOVATED ROCKING CAIi..-A common black walnut rocking chair can be tastefully trimmed up and transformed into I fancy chair for the parlor, with very little trouble and expense. A cushion of several thick nesses of an old comfortable, or some other soft material, is made for the seat, and one for the back; that for the back does not require to be as thick as the other. These cushions are covered with cloth, or any other suitable material that may be in the house. A spray of flowers can be embroidered on the eloth, or they may be cut out of cretonne, and ap pliqued with silk as near the shades of the flowers as possible. Cover the backs of the cushions with silesia of the same color as the coverings. Tack on the cushion with small tacks, so as to be invisible. A piece of ribbon is drawn across the back diagonally, I with a bow at each end, and if a couple of bows are placed on the frout, the general effect is improved.-.A mtoion Bair/s Nr-i Pen1-mx ;.--A bird's ncs* p1udtlini is made with six large appis pared and coresd, put in a deep pie dish; in place of the core fill witl ' sugar, butter, and mitinced lemon poeli, and a clove in each; fill up the dish! with a pint of milk, two eggs beaten in it, a little nutmeg, and three ounces of sugar.

HOM: ADOoniNs.--TheC following~ communicatiou was received from a lady, and we know wvill prove quite iuteresting to cour readers: It is an exploded theory that Land some house furnishings constitute or even aid in making an attractive home. In most instauces there is au air of can't sit here, can't move that chair, can't put your foot there, don't touch thi, about lan.some roonis. But it is not of these I propose telliug you.

When this is thoroughly dry add a coat of vainish. Should the walls be plastered, get a cheap paper, generally tan, terra-cotta, maroon, or gilt should predominate in the figures. Make ordinary boiled starch, put it on the wall with a wvhitc wash brush, one width at a time. With the assistance of one person, any woman can paper the room. Puft twvo coats of terra-cotta paint on the floor, and then add one of; hard-wood finish, this last prevents dust from adhering. When dry, such a iloor can be wined over with cold water, in a few; !tiutes and be made to look as fresh as when first painted. If you have money for a carpet get a bright but not gaudy ingrair., at, say 60 cents per yard. Cut so that it will reach within two feet of the wvall on every side. Sewv the widths without "puckering," and bind the four sides with ordinary' carpet braid. Now this shonld be stretched ;md tacked close lv. If yon cannot afford a carpet get a few remnants of Brussels and car pet fringe, enough for the ends of a few rugs. Get cast iron andirons, with brass knobs if you can, a comt mon wire fender with brass rim, shovel and tongs with brass knobs, and your fire place is prettily fur nished. Paint the mantel same color as floor, applying varnish instead of h'ird-: wood linish. If y'ou have ceiled walls paint arch of fire place same shade, if papered let color of arch corres pond with predominating color mn paper. Get a bright Brussels divan' for six or eight dollars, a half doze.n cane seat chlairs in maple, .three 0r four arm rockers of same kmnd, viz: cane and maple. For 30 or 40 cents you can get bright hassocks, which in front of rockers and divan are both, pretty and comfortable. For the windows use shades of linen, to cor respond with colors in tile room, or Nottinghlam lace curtains next the windows and over them double faced canton flannel; this last can be boughlt for 20 cents per yard, and needs only to be hemmed at both ends. Put up on maple poles with - brass rings and trimmings. These poles and trim mings complete can be had for 35 cents per wiudow. Let both lace and heavy curtain reach tile floor, loop thle heavy one back about eighteen inches from floor, brass chains and hooks for this purpose come with poles. The effect of windows so decorated is very' plaing, more so than the shades, Itho' more expensive. (Get one yard of maroon felt, the width will be sufficiently long for any odinary mantel lambrequiu.
