At the last county alliance meeting it * was recommended that Thursday of each week should be cotton selling day in this town, and invite buyers fromi different mar kets to compete with each other. If our farmers, white and colored, would bring a large amount of cotton in town and deposit. it until a sufficient number of bales wereP gotten together to induce about a dozen buyers to come and bid on it, we believe ita 'would prove a benefit to both farmer and a merchant; competion will make prices bet-0 ter. But even as it is, Manning is as good JI - lace to sell cotton as any town we know of. M. Levi keeps the best shoes in the market. Every man must carry his registration cket to the polls.

The Haskellites of Kershaw county met st week, and concluded not to put a coun ticket in the field against the one nomi ated by the Democratic convention.

Executive Committee Meeting. The county executive committee held a eeting last Saturday in the court house. was decided not to have a campaign eeing here next Monday, as, from infor-I ation .gathered from every part of the! uty, it was agreed that the Democracy of tis county had nothing to fear. T1he inde-I indent moverrent is confined to very row 'etions, and to a very few people in those! enons. The clubs are all requested to meet next turday, to discuss the political situation d to impress upon the people the duty d necessity of a big vote on the 4th, in der that independentism may be so deep. buried as never again to be resurrected this county. Rally to the Polls, Boys. During the campaign last summer the bs showed unbounded enthusiasm in tting Tillman nominated for governor. ov it is due to them and to him that even qater e~ithusiasm s'.iall be exhibited in tting him elected.

'The ryfond a erdict in favor of Mr. Alder.| HANDS OFFI The kepublicans of Clarendon Decline to Vote Witih Fliher ienocratt. or Inde pendetits, and Give Excellent Reasons in Support of T'heir Intention. The executive committee of the Republi can party of Clarendon county, S. C., met on Saturday the 8ti inst. After attending to urgent b'usin-ss they discussed the pre.: ent political situation in the State. The matter was wisely and ably debated by each one. They deemed it but casting "pearls before swine" to vote for Tillman, because Mr. Tillman said he did not want the negro vote. Further Mr. Haskell deemed it i sac rifice of Democratic principles to accept a Republican nomination, so they deemed it a sacrifice of Republican principles to vote for hitm. Again to vote for either would create lasting race friction and thus cause bloodshed, havoc, and devastation, and many homes filled with brave defenseless men, women, aid children would be subject to night raiders, thirsty for blood, becawse the negro had helped one fellow Democrat to dethrone another, and they were unwil ling to sacrifice life when there was no prin ciple involved or to be made dupes by eith er party, and they considered, as the wchiles would, that the negro that could be bought by one could be bought by the other if a lit tle more money or office were offered. They voted unanimous, except Andrew Boston, to deem any Republican a traitor who would vote for either or influence an other to do so. They further denounced Rev. W. D. Chapelle, Presiding Elder, who although a re. ident of Columbia, yet claim ed in the Morris Convention that he was a delegate from Clarendon, in that his utter ances that we would support Haskell were erroneous and false.

Among the foremost business men in this tate is Moses Levi. and no one feels proud er of the reputation he has merited than In every business, trad -, or profession en have or should have enough ambition to try if possible to reach the topmost round. To reach this place Mr. Levi com menced at the bottom and crept up slowly bu: sirely by the closest attention to busi ness and by carefully studying the wants of i Is many patrons. He watches the markets, and takes every advantage that will prove a benefit to his customers. Just go into his immense establishment and see the tremen ous stock of goods he carries, and you will at once be convinced that no ordinary mer- i chant can conduct such a large business. His purchases are necessarily large in order to meet the demands of his patrons, and this year with his usual watchfulness he realized the fact that a very large number of ur people made their arrangements so that they would be able to buy what they want ed for cash. He went to the Northern and I Eastern markets and bought direct. from the manufacturers, so that he might save the profit of jobbers and middle men. This gave him an advantage over other mer chants, and at the same time placed him in a position to give his customers the benefit. There is no doubt that Moses Levi with the facilities at his command can sell goods as cheap as any house in the State, and if people will call at his establishment he will convince them that it is useless for them to go elsewhere to buy. Manning Farmer's Platform Club. Every member of the Manning Fa.-mer's Platform Democratic Club is requested to attend a meeting of this club next Saturday afternoon at 3.30 o'clock. in the court house. Let no excuse prevent any member from at tending. We want to see every one of our 158 members present. Come yourself and tell your neigh bor to come, too. S. J. Bownxa, S. A. NETTLES, Secretary. President. Rev. J. S. Beasley, P. E. The following paper was submitted, and adopted by a rising vote: We the -official members of Foreston hurch, Sumter district, South Carolina Conference, in conference assembled, do hereby give formal expression to our regret t parting with our brother, Rev. J. S. IBeas ly, who has been our presiding ofieer for four years past. His character as a Chris tian gentleman, his ability as a preacher of the gospel, his promptness and zeal in the ischarge of all his duties, ministerial and administrative, have endeared him to us; and we part with him invoking the richest. blessings of Providence on him, his family, and his efforts in whatever sectio-a of the laster's vineyard he may be appointed to abor. Foreston, S. C., Oct. 18th, 1890.I News fromt Greeleyville. A political newspaper in giving an account f an attempt at political bribe~ry beginis ith the sentence, "Here is a pretty kettle f fish." This was intended as a figurative expression, illustrative of the variety of aces, persons, and complexions concerned. The significance of the intended figure is ompletely destroyed by the use of the word ketue instead of kiddle. Thbe former is a vessel used for culinary purposes; the lat ter is an obstruction in a river for entang ing and capturing fish. Fish so caught onstitute a "kiddle of fish." Both words arc sometimes corrupted into "kittle." The ifference between a lot of fish caught in a iddle, and another lot placed ina kettle to e prepared for food is not hard to imagine. Niewspaper criticism is a thankless office; ut in this "campaign of education" soaue hings besides politics and political usages nd trickery, ought to be learned, and the ewspaper press has become the great edu :tor, the universal text book, the circulat ng encyclopedia of the masses. Some days of pleasant October weather. ave put in rapid motion the fingers of cot ton pickers, and inspired the hearts of farmi rs with renewed hope. A good crop will be made in this section. Some farmers who have tneir cotton ginned t this place are able to haul the muost of it ack home and keep it until the price suits hem. They are in no need of a sub-treasu y warehouse. The Messrs.

Coxsw~v, HoaR Corxvv, Oct. 19.-The straightouts contradict the statement that I. they agreed to support Deas for congress.J Capt. J. M. Oliver and Dr. E. Norton, two of the committee appointed by the Straight-t out convention to confer with the Republi cans, say they did not mention the congress-: an in their conference. and only prom ised them one county commissioner and! the jury couuhnission,er.

Eoon EImkisa Tnus:---It is with much surprise and regret that I see men who have been among our leading ones in the State, and who i:Ld proresed to be the staunchest of )eiocrats, t3 now be doing their utmiost to disrnpt the Democraecy of this State, by finding imaginary objections to the pro ecedings of the party, and by he:;ding an Ifldep!enldf nt movieiet. Wu are all famil iar with the sentiIeLtS expressed a short while ago by our beloved leader of '76: that an Independent is worse than a Radical Many that are now in the Independent miment~ it have again and again uttered ex pressions to the sawie etiect. What else can you term this movement, when the leader of the same was a delegate to the State Democratic nominating conven tion. caUed expressly for the purpose of nominating St.te officers, and in which ho participated up to the moment of making nominations, when he was ridenocratic enough to say that lie would withhold his vote, and not make the nomination unani mous, as had been customary in previous conventions, even though when it was plain to be seen that that convention was over whelmingly in favor of certain candidates. It lias been stated without refutation that four years ago the farmers lacked only about forty votes in convention of nominating their chi-ice, two years ago twenty, but each time the nomination was male unanimous; they worked for and elected the ticket. But behold ! what do we now see? That the rule or ruin principle is only to; true. Comaon sense tells us that the set of men put forward by the Independent movement c.nnot expect'to be el. cted by the white votcs of this State, and their only hope is to Ippeal to the colored pe-ople to use their votes to kill white Democratic ones. This is no imilar case to '76, as has been claimed by the Opposition. Then it was that the col :>red votes were solicited to cancel Republi .an ones. But now do yo. think for a mo ment that the Independents could control the colored votes without political compen 3.tion: recognition and position must be :e consequences. What wiil be the condi ion of things two years hence? Trouble antold. The State executive committee has called )n all true sons of Carolina to rise in their :.,ight, and, put down this Independentism it the ballot-box. Never did the State stand more in need of her patriotic citizens :han at the present juncture. When a set of men will not abide by the 'ast majority of the party that they repre ;ent, and put au opposition ticket in the leld, are they not independent, and in )pen opposition to their former party ? I tim fearful of the result of this movement, vhich will effect little at the present elec ion, unless they barter off some of the Con ressional districts, but, it will cer.ainly be viden-ing the breach for two years hence, vhen I had hoped that we all would be as ited as before.

A Venture of Voodoismt ini Sumter. No sooner had the excitement over the illing of Hurst begun to subside than the ommunity was again aroused by news of he killing of a negro named Primus Jones t Beulah colored church on the Bell Mill >ace, owned by Mr. Toumey. It seems hat quite a protracted religious meeting as being carried on among the coloredl olks, and the greatest sort of exeitementt reviled. The whole plantation nearly ent crazy. The news at first was that ~rimus had been ofta~red up as a sacerifice to e Holy Ghost because of his i-neredulity. On Sunday last Deputy Coroner S. A. ~orris held the inquest att the church. Trhe estimony showed that in a perfect frenzy f fanaticism the deceased was killed by 1ev. A. H. DuRant, the colored piastor, andi me icha-:d Campbell, a proiiinent mem >er of the church, because the deceased had xpressed his doubts about the supernatu alt powver of the said minister to kill and re store to life, and this was to be a test case, )ut the experiment failed. This is perhaps he clearest case of voodoismn that has ever ccurred in our county. A large number >f Dullant's congregation believed until his alure in this case, that he p~osessed super atural power. 'The jury which was comn >O.sed of colored men was it good one and (as ompliimented by the comoner. The nding was "that Primius Jones was killed md murdered.by icehard Campbell and A. [i. DuRant."
