Last Thursday morning in the vicinity of Legg & Hutchinson's stables there was con siderable activity among those that had -sporting blood coursing through their 'reins. A discussion arose as to the run 'ning abilities of certain' horses, one of -which belongs to the stable and the other to a gentleman boarding his horse at the stable. Each horse soon had his favorite -willing to back his judgment oy wagering -some filthy lucre. Bets were freely made :against the horse belonging to the stable, :and were taken up by a certain young man who had lots of confidence in the horse he 'was backing. While the excitement was warm the two owners of the horses got together and ar ranged to put up a huge joke on the en thusiastic admirier of the stable .horse. 'The rest of the crowd understood this, and became very extravagant in their bets, until :tbe place sounded like the poel room of a Saratoga club house. The arrangement was for the stable horse -to be beaten, and as a horse race will draw :a crowd when eveiythinig else fails, it was not long before everybody in town had ,heard of it, and was watching to see when -the sports were going to the race course. .About six o'clock the crowd from the stables -started, and were followed by a large crowd from town. They went across Ox Swamp, near the Blackwell place, and there selected the ground. The road was alive with pe .destrians and vehicles, it -presented the appearance of the road to the fair grounds during the races. All kinds of people an d professions were on the move to witness this race--merchants, clerks, doctors, law yers, officials, bankers, butchers, horse jockeys, dudes, ben~ts, loafers, kids, and niggers-all went. Ou arriving at the grounds the, riders rode their horses over the ground to inspect it, leaving the excited mass of humanity at the other end, where they would have a fine view of the race. But on this road there is a curve and when the riders turned the curve and were out of sight of the crowd, they decided to turn the joke on the crowd by putting spurs to their steeds and riding home, leaving the sports behind with gap ing mouths and wide stretched eyes wait ing to see the races. The riders arrived home at least a half hour a head of the disappointed crowd, and some of them felt so badly sold that they took the back streets, to keep from being guyed by a crowd that were waiting on the street corner. DON'T FEEL WELL, And yet you are not sick enough to consult a doctor, or you refrain from so doing for fear you wvill alarm yourself and friends we will tell you just what you need. It is Hood's Sarsaparilla, which will lift you out of that uncertain, uncomfortable, dangerous condition, into a state of good health, conti dence, and cheerfulness. You've no idea how potent this peculiar medicine is in cases like yours. As soon as you discaover any falling of the hair or grayness always use Hall's Hair Re-. newer to tone up the secretions and prevent baldness or grayness. In the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, you need have no fear of arsenical poison, this mnedicine being entirely free from all dan gerous drugs. Its powerful effects are due to the skillful combination of the best in -redes hene no ill results follow its use. Maj. H. I. Lesesne. Major Henry Hiltnn Lesesne died at his residence near Jordan, at 5 o'clock this monrnin. :w d fifty.one years. He served as sheriff of this county for fourteen years, having been elected in 1877 to till an unex pired term. He was one of the most popu lar men in the county. Major Lesesne was a gallant Confederate soldier, having enter ed the service in the bc-inning of the war as a lieutenant of the Sprott Guards. Ie was promoted from time to time till he be came mjor of the 23rd S. C. Volunteers. Major Lesesne had becn in bad health for several years., and sonie months ago lie was so prostcated by an attack of paralysis, that he has since been confined to his home. Yesterday h had another severe attack fromn whicli he did not ralle. He leave,: a wife and seven children. The funeral will take plamc to-morrow morning, 10 o'clock, at Jordan. Big Fire at Wilsons. Abort 1half past nine o'clock yesterday morning Wilson's p'lanint. mills on the Cen ral 11. R. was destroved by fire, causing a loss of between thirty and thirty-five thous and dollars. The fire originated in the shaving room by a spark from the engine. Great piles of boards were on the vard. and wero con sumed by ihe fliames. The heat was so great thzat forty bars of the stc-el track on the main line of the railroad were warped and twisted, and about thrce hundred of the cross-ties burned. The saw mill was not burned. There was no insurance, and Mr. Thomas Wilson, the owner of the mills, who was away from home at the time, is the un fortunate loser of this vast amount of prop erty. PROGRESS. It is very important in this age of vast ma terial progress that a remedy be pleasing to the taste and to the eye, easily taken, ac ceptable to the stomach, and healthy in its nature and effects. Possessing these quali ties Syrup of Figs is the one perfect laxative and most gentle diuretic known. Beautiful Wild Flowers. We find in the Xets and Courior of last Saturday the following very complimentary allusicn to one of our prettiest young ladies: "Perhaps one of the most noteworthy ex hibits in the hall was a collection of wild flowers, exhibited by Miss Mamie G. Clark, of Manning. S. C. The collection, which numbered between thirty and forty varie ties of South Carolina wild flowers, was sent down by express on Thursday morn ing and was beautifully arranged by a com mittee of ladies. The exhibit was very justly awarded the first prize." HOW'S THIS! We offer one hundred dollars reward for any case of catarrh that cannot be cured by taking Hall's catarrh cure. F. J.

There is an ordinance in this town pro hibiting the firing of pistols within the corporate limits, and the council should require the police to see that parties violat ing this ordinance are arrested and brought before them for punishment. The ordi nance was passed for the protection of our citizens, and if it is not enforced there is no telling how soon some valuable life may be destroyed by the promiscuous shooting of firearms on our streets. The stillness of the night was disturbed last Friday evening by the sharp report of a pistol just behind Mr. M. Kalisky as he was passing Legg & Hutchinson's stables while on his way home from his place of business. It was so unexpected that Mr. Kalisky's first impulse was to "climb over the garden wall" that joirs the stables, but as he is rather corpulent he was afraid that he would make haste slowly in case there was an assassin lurking behind the trees. He was naturally excited, whuch added mo tive power to his pedal extremities, and he got away from that place about as fast as it takes the second hand of a watch to make its circuit. Arriving at his gate he was much fatigued from his active exercise. Never having experienced anything like it before,. and feeling perfectly friendly with all mankind, he did not before this dream that he had an enemy. The excitement was too much. It upset his think works, and set his imagination to work at a lively rate. He thought he was shot and called for a light, at the same time holding on to the wound with a vice-like grip to stop the gory stream. He believed that his life blood was slowly ebbing away. The light was brought and to his utter astonishment not a sign of blood was to be found, and what he imagined was blood, was a splinter in his pants, and huge drops ot perspiration as large as "matzo balls." A Dangerous Period. As the season moves swiftly toward the boundary lines that lie between winter and spring, it frequently hap pens that the human system, which has borne the strain of winter, shows signs of relanation. In all ages this period has been noted as a dangerous one, especially to those who have weak constitutions. A course of the great blood purifier and tonie, S. S. S., will enable the most delicate to face the season's changes with impunity. It is a medicine that not only strengthens the weak and delicate, but is an additional safeguard for those who consider themselves strong. When Baby was sick, we gave her Castoria.

Indulgence in the humorous is 1:ealtby, if not carr ied too far, and this can be prevented by restraint wisely exer cised. A building and loan association was or ganized at this place latelyv by MAr.

Editor manning Times:-The sa gestion in your lpaier to buy sugar while it was cheap Was a gool one, and if taken advantage of by the people will save iheim nioney. We :re always on the lookout for bargais and to not, feel ol'endled when advict is gvyen us, So whien we saw your SOg Oestion, we made a contract with somne of the largest refiners, and the I result was that we were lpraIited in medi.ately, because no sooner liat we signed our contract before the pa;pr-rs were full about a party of mionopolists endeavoring to get sugar cornered to force the price hack to what it, was before the ta-iff was taken off, and to-day sogar is advancing. It is not only so with sugars, but all the necessaries are in the same condition. Meats and grain have and are still advancing, and were it not for the fact that we purchased largely when everything was down, we would be forced to pay the advanced prices, and our customers would not enjoy the great advantage over those that trade elsewhere. Every article in the mercantile line is advancing in price, and merchants that have a cash capital are the only ones that were able to lay in a large enough stock to bridge over the pres ent agitated conlition of the markets. To convince the people of what we say we extend to them an invitation to come to Sumter to see our spring stock. It is the most complete we have ever handled, and we especially desire our Clarendon friends to exam ine these goods and get our prices before the choice patterns are all se lected. Very respectfully, LEVI BROTHERS. --------- *4 + The superior merit of Ayer's Cherry Pec toral as an anodyne expectorant is dune to a skillful combination of the most powerful ingredients.
