The Comptroller-General has sent a circular letter to the county treasurers, advising them that they nor the sheriffs will be entitled to any nulla bona costs on tax executions, and that the treasurers must satisfy themselves that the money can be made upon ex ecutions before issuing them to the sheriffs.

The cemetery in this place is in a very neglected condition, some of the graves being nearly hidden by the weeds. Why cannot some one be placed in charge? The expense of keeping it in good condition would be but very little. About two years ago a few citizens met and by con tributing small amounts, enough was raised to cut down the undergrowth and weeds, but this work could not last always. The only way the place can be kept properly is to form an association, elect officers, and emnpow er them to employ a person to do the necessary work. Just ieeeived, red and white onion sets at Dinkins & Co.'s drug store. The Ne,w York Comedy Company played in Manning Monday and Tues day nights, and expected to play again to-night, but owing to the death of Mr. WV. J. Clark they decided to leave and come back again in about three weeks. This is a good troupe. They played M'liss Monday night to a good house, and their performance so pleas ed our people that last night they were greeted with a larger audience 'to see East Lynne, which was finely played. The conduct of the troupe while here was genteel, and we are satisied when they come back they will receive a large audience. We have just received, direct from the manufacturers in payment ot advertising bills three SEWING MACHINES. We wish the money for them, and offer themi at very low tigures. First come, first served. Call at the Tnmxs offce. It will not be long before the citi zens of Manning will be called upon to elect officers to govern the town for the ensuing two years, and it will be well to look about us for a council that are progressive in their ideas. We need men that will not only keeps order, but men that will also work tc beautify and improve the town. Im prove ments are going on daily ir other towns, and there is no reason why Manning should be held back. It is true that it takes money to build a town hall and open streets, but we are convinced our citizens would willingly be taxed if they can be assured that their money will be spent in such a manner as will give them pleasure tc p oint out to strangers the progresi we are ma king.

The Young Men's Building and Loan Association, of Manning, S. C., has been organized to assist any man in Manning or in Clarendon county to own a home by paying monthly but a little more than what he now pays rent; or to save up monthly a small sum that will yield a very large rate of interest. The officers of the Association are: Jos. -Sprott, Jr., president; Dr. W. E. Brown, vice-president; S. A. Nettles, secretary and treasurer; and A. Levi, attorney. The directors are: Jos Sprott, Jr., Dr. W. E. Brown, S. A. Nettles, A. Levi, and W. S. Harvin. The Association, by collecting inter est monthly, and immediately lending it out again, will be able to pay to the investor, at the winding up of the Asso ciation, at least $150 for each share. The whole amount paid in on each share for the six years and three months will be $75. One hundred dollars will be loaned on each share for building purposes, and the Association will build the house if the lot or tract of land is for nished. One dollar on each share must be paid the first day of each month. After one borrows he must also pay one dol lar interest on each share each month. The Association will build a $500 house, and charge $10 a month there after till the Association winds up, namely to April 1st, 1896, when the house will have been paid for in full. A $300 house would cost $6 ai month. There is no membership fee, and no bidding for money. Money is loaned in the order in which applications are received. All dues are payable the first day of each mouth, the first paymuent to be made Feb. 1, 1890. For shares or for further information apply to any one of the direclurs. Success in Sumter. Mr. Mitchell Levi, of Santee, and formerly of Manning, has inoved to the city of Sumter, where he has en tered into a copartnership with his brother Ferdinand. The style of the firm is Levi Brothers. These gentle men are thoroughly known to the people of Clarendon, having been born and reared in their midst, there fore any words of praise would be en tirely unnecessary from us. As busi ness men these young gentlemen have had the very best of opportunities. Having received a fine business train ing they are fully equipped to coi pcte with any set of merchants in Sumter or elsewhere. Both of them are thoroughly acquainted with the leading business inarkets, anud having the necessary qualifin tions to conduct a first class mercantile establishment they propose by their push and ener gy to be leaders in their line. The Levi Brothers specially invite their old friends of Clarendon to vis it them and give their immense stocks a thorough inspection. They have on hand and are constantly receiving large stocks of general merchandise which they purchased to suit the times, and they propose to give their customers the advantage of purchas ing first class goods at "haird pan" pneces. The people of Clarendon would do well to give their young friends a call whenever they go to Sumter, and by doing so we feel assured that their visits will be often repeated, and they will receive that prompt and courte ous attention that is characteristic of the Levis. Better Late Than Never. In the language of one whose name hais been handed down to us and whose name we propose to leave behind, so that future generations may learn to admire the man that gave vent to the expression, wec will re mark: "Wonders don't stop ceasing." Last Saturday night while the good peo pie of New Zion were lying in their neds, some wondering what kind of a sermon their pastor would preach to themn on the following day, others whether or not she would make a better show at church than Miss or Mrs. So and So, or what kind of clothes to wear, Mr. and Mrs. Anderson Boykin were celebrating their wooden wed ding. The happy couple were married just ten years without the slightest ripple of an noyance, not even that annoyance of having one's slumbers disturbed by the squallings of a colicky baby, or having one's ribs punched in twain by a sudden call for par egorie, or even a gentle request to get up some cold winter's nIght and walk the little one to sleep. This they have sadly missed for their whole married life, ten years, but time has wrought a change, and no more will this couple be troubled with this terri ble loneliness. Invitations were sent out on last Saturday night to a very few selected friends, inviting them to at once attend the woodlen wveddinig about to be celebrated at their residence. The guests arrived aind spent a very pleas ant evening, such plea~sure as those ocea sions always afford, and as the "wee hours" approached, the guests beginning to yawn, which is always a good sign for the dispers ing hour, Mrs. B3. camne forward and in elo quent language presented friend Anderson with a bouncing baby girl-weight twelve pounds. Read Aloud. Among the imiprovemeont clubs for the winter, let us hope the reading aloud class has its place. If one has a husky vo'ice or a feeble one, if he forms his words away back in his throat, instead of on the tip of his tongue, if one is careless and slovenly in his pronunciation, if one is awkward and bashful and afraid to open his mo'uth before folks, nothing will correct all these defects so like a charm as readinig aloud. Real de liberately, distinctly, opening your mouth sufficiently to let the sounds out clearly. Always have a eritic in your class, or het all the class criticise the reader. Note care fully, but with the utmost good nature al ways, the nispronunciations, the thiek and smothered enunciation, and that frightful nasal twang for which Americans are so justly held up to ridicule ini Europe. Listen to the conversation of those around yon, listen even to your own voice, and. nin, times out of ten you will find the horrid nasal twanng is there, though you have never~ noticed. it. Every body, perhaps, can not learn to sing but everybody can certainly ]earn to real aloud wel, in a sweet, ek-ar, steady voice', with faultless pronunciation, and with the ring of cultivation and refinement in his tones. Yet there aire fewer goodl readers than good singers.-- ChIarlestea Sit. Rheumatism is caused by lactic acid in the blood, which Hood's Sarsaparilla neutral William James Clark. William J. Clark died suddenly at his; home in this place this morning, aged fifty five years. le attended the play by the. comedy company, last night at tie school building, but complained of feeling unwell, dL sat in the rear of the hall. After the: play was over, he could not be found. Search was mate at his house and at the liouiss of several of his, children, but with out succesZs. He was finally found back of a snmall building in rear of the school house, in an iusensible condition. There were si"ns that he had vomited, and it is suppos ed a stroke of apoplexy or heart disease had rendered him inscnsible. In falling a gash was cut under hiis eye, on the cheek bone. He was carried home, and died about six o'clock this morning. Mr. Clark was born in Charleston in 1834, and came to Manning in 18.58. le entered the war with Co. I., 23rd S. C. V., (Sprott Guards,) and for most of the time served as hospital steward. He was sheriff of this county from 1870 to 1876. He was intendant of the town in 1880, and was warden for several terms. He was prominent in Masonic circles, and was, we are told, the only Knight Templar in this county. He was Chancellor Commander of the K. of P. for several terms, and was at the time of his death holding that office. le was president of the County Survivors' Association. For the last fifteen years he has been book-keeper for Louis Loyns. - The funeral services will be held at the Presbyterin church to-morrow afternoon at 3 o'clock, and the body will be interred in the Manning cemetery with Masonic and Pvthian honors. A Fire in Manning. About one o'clock to-day the Tgram residence, occnpicd by Mr. N. M. Johnson, caught on fire, caused, it i.s supposed, from a defective chimney. The tire was not discovcred until it had worked its way through t he roof. In prompt response to the alarm of lire a number of citizens brough1t out the hook and ladder truc:, and went to work fighting the flames. After the hardest kind of work the fire was gotten under control, and the house was finally saved, after being damaged about S250. The house was insured, but the furnituare, which belongs to Mr. John son, Was not insured, and is very much damaged. Much credit is due to those that worked at the fire, and espcclly so to some of the members of the New York Comedy Company, one of whom, Mr. Frank Nei berger, in getting on the roof fell from it to the ground, and afterwards worked so faith ful that he fainted. In appreciation of his services the town council awarded him the license fee collected from this company. The of e scliol gave to tl.e members of the troape who worked so faithfully the rent the, company hal paid for the nie of the school building. The little bov. of the town rendered valuable service by keeping a good supply of r;ater on hand to extin goish the lire. Big Fire in Sumiter. Yesterday morning (Tuesday, Jan. 28th) about four o'clock the store of R. P. Mona ghan, in Sumter, was discovered to be on fire. The fire is supposed to have originated! in the office of the C. S. & N. R. Rl., which was located on the second floor of this build ing, and in which a kerosene lamp was burning. When discovered the fire had made such progress that scarcely a hundred dollars worth of goods could be satved. Estimiated loss $27,000; insurance s1-1,00o. The Bank of Sumter was the next to bui'n. Loss $1,700; insurance $1,000. The next building to burn was~ the furni turd store of Durant & Belitzer. Their handsome stock of furniture, which would have been an ornament to any city, was par' tially sav-ed. All on the first floor was re moved, but in manty instances badly dam aged. Their stock on the second dloor was a complete loss. Fire had broken through the south w~all, and burned the staircase, so that removing it was an utter impossibility. Loss about S4,000; insurance $3,000. Next to Durant & Behitzer is the hardware store of R. W. Durant & Son. This building w~as not burned, but damaged, and the goods were all remnoved. Their loss by handling and breakage will be about S.500; insurance SG,000. Miss McElhose's millinery establishment was not burned, but was damaged about $100, fully covei'ed by insurance. The south wall of Mr. A. A. Solomons' building, occupied by R. W. Durant & Son, appears to be badly damaged and may have to come down. The back of the building is also damaged to a limited extent. Th inte Electiric Light Company lost about_$100 in lamps and sockets, inside and outside wire and counters. Mr. John Morris's clothing store, diago nally opposite the fire, caught several times and was as often saved from destruction by persistent ef'ort. The fire continued for abont seven hours, before it was gotten under control. The fire depai'tment did excellent service, and by keeping the flames under control saved much property. Summerton News.

The Rope's Substitui'e. In New York, where it has been made lE gal to substitute death by electricity for death by the rope, or elet'trical excention for hanging, the apparatus for this purpose i was tried at Plttsburg, N. Y., in the Clin ton prison, on a recent occasiont A dyna mo was set up, and the electricity generated. A two-year-old steer, weighing 500 pounds, was first exPerimented on. Mr. Harold P. Brown, the New York City electrical en gineer, conducted the experiment. At a given signal, as the Jf1rald correspondent states, Mr. Brown turned on a 900 volt cnr rent, and at the same instant, the animal dropped dead without a grcan or struggle. There was no appreciable or measurable lpse of time be tween the turning on of the current and the death of the animal. Dr. Rockwell, who was present, said it was not possible to ex perience pain from electrical death, because the electric current travels so much faster than the nerve force that death occurred before the brain can experience any sensa tion whateier. Criminals will be execnted as follows: An electrode covered with a wet sponge will be placed on top of the condemned's head, and another in a larg-, shoe on one of his feet. His arms will then be strapped across his breast and a similar strap placed around his ankles. He will then be placed on the chair. The straps will b-attached to hooks provided for the .urpo-:e. a button will be touched, and all will be over ! This is evidently a vast improvement on death by hanging. g.n The Alliance Teaches Honesty. A business man in Greenville who sold over '18,000 wor th of goods to Alliance men the past year on timfe has been paid all ex cept about $101, and it is perfectly good. Throughout the State members of the order have shown great promptness in settling accounts, and except in those counties where crops have been a complete failure, their indebtedness is all settled or will be soon. Doe~s this look like the order is or ganized to break down mercantile and other interests? True the merchant has had to sell his goods at small profits to Alliance men but his pay is certain. Small profits and no losses are certainly better than exor bitant protits and heavy losses for the mer chant. Instead of kicking against the Alli ance, merchants had better encourage it. It is better for their souls, their minds, and their bodies. Better for their souls in that their consciences will be clear of exorbitant prices and their hopes of Heaven fair; for their minds in that they will not he worried every fall about collections; and for their bodies in that their collections will be good. -Lo/mcaster~ Idger. The Word Jew. A gentleman writing to the Jewi~sh .Erpon ed, of Philadelphia, says: "Several years ago I commenced writing for the daily papers, making a specialty of 'Jewish' news. For several weeks, when one of the copy-readers would handle any copy for the first time, I would be called to the front and warned not to use the word Jew, as some of our leading JTewish resi dents had frequetly taken the paper to task for using the word, viewing its usage as an intended slur, and this was said to a pa per whose advertising columns teem with the names of representative Jewish mer chants." The readers of the Tha'ngs will observe' that this paper does net hesitate to use the word Jew wvhenever ocasion demands. In fact, the wvord is infinitely preferable to that of Hebrewv, and implies a great deal more. The wvord Jew has come to be re garded as referring to religion, and the word Hebrew to language. Those Jews who olject to reference to them as Jews are a sorry set and deserve sympathy.--Roester JewishL D Tics. MANNING MARKET. January 29, 1890. COPRRECTED BY LOt*1s LoYNS.
