THE MANNING TIMES.I Manrnin~g, S.CO. S. A. NETTLES. Editor. WNEDAYI MUE I109 NTAND BY THE DEMOCRACY.7 In last Monday's New York Herald we find the following expression of opinion from Dr. J. William Stokes, president of the South Carolina State A1iHaneA: "Speaking generally, the order is in good shape in this State and is making satisfactory progress. We are unloading some material, but re sulta show a net gain and a more compact homogeneous membership. "We are organizing constantly, though the most of the State has al ready been covered. Within the past month the State organizer has had calls from two different counties, and the result of his visits are appartnt. "Outside of the political press and a small circle of political speculators the question of independent political action has not created a ripple, be cause it has not been discussed. In dependent political action by the Al liance is out of the question so long as the Alliance constitution remains as it is. It cannot be changed before next winter, and our people are not disposed to worry about the bridge before they get to it. "From a close and frequent contact with them in every quarter of the State I can safely say they may be counted on to stand squarely by all the demands of the Alliance, Govern. or Tillman to the contrary notwith standing. The temper of the people is such that they will repudiate any man, however trusted, who cannot support the Alliance demands, just as they repudiated Hampton last fall." This is a remarkable paper, and one that in our opinion will fail to find a responsive chord in the Alli ance. The premises on which Presi dent Stokes bases his conclusions are not true, therefore what he says proves nothing. The people of the State did not re pddiate Hampton because he was op posed to the Alliance, but because he did not denounce the independent Haskellian movement. Had he, like a patriot which his friends claim he ii, denounced this independent move ment the spme as he had done when his own personal friends were not in volved, he would have been to-day as greatly loved by the people as ever mortal was loved; but his patriotism was not sublime enough to cause him to denounce the Haskell movement, and the people repudiated him, just as they will repudiate President Stokes should be endeavor to coun tenance any third party movement. The farmers of this State were born and bred within the Democratic par ty, and until they are fully convinced, first, that they cannot obtain relief In the Democratic party, and, second, that they can get what they want in a new party, the farmers, the true and tried yeomanry of the State, will stand firmly on the Democratic plat *lorm. President Stokes says he is in close end frequent contact with the farm -era of the State and knows that they will stand by any demand of the Alli ance. Speaking for Clarendon coun ty wesay he isegregiously mistaken. We do not believe there are a dozen farmers in this county, who would sacrifice their religious or political opinions to any demands of the Alli ance. The constitution forbids any such emand, and the attempted en forcement of such a demand would ruin the Alliance in Clarendon We, too, are a member of the Farm ers' Alliance, and love and honor the principles of the order; we are in "close and frequent contact" with the members of the order, and we have yet to hear a single member of the A1Hiance in Clarendon county say a favorable word for the third party movement. Scarcely six months ago a thousand Alliancemen in this coun ty would have cheerfully sacrificed their lives in defense of the Demo cratic party, and to-day they stand as firm as ever. Col. J. G. Gibbes, agent of the Sink ing Fund Commission, will be in Manning in a few days, to look after the abandoned lands in this county. He offers to survey any one's swamp lands free of charge provided he is furnished with the old plats and sur veys. The desire is to get all these old lands on the tax books and make them bear their share of taxation. Fuli information can be had from Sheriff Bradham. Two tracks of such unknown lands are advertised in this week's paper, aggregating 10,200 acres. In Sumter's court of common pleas next week a very unusual case will be tried. The late W. 3. Reynolds had charge of property belonging to a sister who was an inmate of the luna tic asylum, and at the end of the war Reynolds sold cotton belonging to this trust estate, receiving Confeder ate money for it. Reynolds died a few years ago, leaving a will whereby he left his property to his family of ilegitimiate colored children. Now his sister's heirs have brought suit against his estate for the value of the cotton and interest. A sensational report from Kershaw, in Tuesday's State, says that two men, Rhodes and Swaggart, from Winns boo, unearthed a buried treasure that had been buried during the war on Lynches creek below the mouth of Banging Rock creek. The amount unearthed is said to be $163,000 be sides jewelry. It was buried there by Sherman's men, and people have been digging for it for the past twen ty-four years. A man by the name of Rhodes on his death-bed wrote a letter to Col W. E. Johnson, of Cam den, in which he confessed having buried the money and gave a descrip tion of the place. Several parties saw the men in the neighborhood, and the story is firmly believed that they found the hidden treasure. Sample Copies Free!

A In this age of enlightment, when people xre constantly sceking knowledge, it is suprising to know the number of personsI that try to get their knowlei1:e by dead beating their way, and by sponging on a their neighbors. There is a claezs that a never spend a cent the year rontd for a newspaper, yet they always read them, and kick whenever any thing is published that ' does not meet their views. Somc obtain fE the paper by borrowing from the man that b has paid his money for it, while others with as much cheek as an Egyptian mule go to the country postoffice, call for a neighbor's . mail, carry the paper home, and sometimes i after many days the paper is sent to its & proper owner. When such people are approached to sub scribe for a paper, they very frankly tell 1 that Mr. - subscribes and there is no necessity for him to subscribe too as he N can borrow from Mr. , yet when the Mr. - referred to goes to the post office for his mail, t and finds that his paper is missing, b he is provoked, and when he comes to town ( he hunts up the Editor to unfold his tale r of woe. He informs the Editor that he does not get his money from the road-side trees but that it comes by the sweat of his h brow, that his patronage to the paper is not for fun, but for the express purpose of' having himself and family enlightened on what the world is doing, and if he cannot get the paper that cost him his hard earned a money he would be forced to stop his patronage. Snch things happen and are very un pleasant for us as well as the man who is disappointed and indignant because he can not obtain the knowledge he derives from the paper that he willingly pays for. And the editor knowing that the fault is not his, at once begins an investigation and finds that some meddlesome neighbor has taken the liberty of using somebody else's bought and-paid-for property without the knowl edge or consent of the owner. News papers are educators and every family should have them in their household, and if people t only knew that their neighbors who sub scribe and pay their money for their papers prefer not to lend them, perhaps it would have some effect on this dead-beat habit they have been indulging in, and cause them to subscribe themselves in order that 1 they might satisfy their cravings for news. If a person is too mean and stingy to pay the small amount of one dollar and itty cents for a year's reading, then he ought to let his neighbor's paper alone, and allow t his brain works to go to wreck as will any thing else that is miserly neglected and starved. "Peter Piper Picked a Peck of Pickled Peppers" was a line of alliterative nonsense, that the, children used to say. Nowdays they can practice on the Perfect, Painlesst Powerful, Properties of Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets. It will impress a fact which will be useful to know. These pel lets cure sick headache, bilious attacks, in digestion, constipation and all stomach, liver and bowel troubles. They are tiny, sugar-coated pills, easy to take, and, as a laxative, one is sufficient for a dose. No more groans and gripes from the old drastic reedies! Pierce's Purgative Pellets are as painless as they are perfect in their effects. A Sumter Lawyer Charged With Forgery. STrrER, June 9.--In the court of sessions to-day no important cases were tried and no convictions were had. The grand jury made a special pre sentment charging John R. Keels, attorney at law, with violating Sec tion 2,527 of the General Statues of this State in changing and falsely ut tering a note given to him by A. F. Cousar, dated March 13, 1891, by raising said note from nineteen to three hundred and nineteen dollars, and charging him also with having raised another note from fifty to two hun dred and fifty dollars. The solicitor will issue bills of indictment against John R. Keels for these offences to morrow, but the cases cannot be tried at this term of the Court, as the petit juries had been discharged when the presentment was made. Mr. Keels is a member of the Sumter Bar and this affair has created a great sensation here. The grand jury also presented for the second time that the bond of County Treasurer D. E. Keels is in sufficient after it had been approved by the State board and by the county commissioners.-N~ws and Courier Mr. C. C. Campbell, of Campbell's Cotton Compress Co., city of Cincinnati, Ohio, writes: Everybody finds relief shortly af ter using Bradycrotine for headache. There is more catarrh in this section of the country than allother diseases put to gether, and until the last few years was sup posed to be incurable. For a great umany years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by con stantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional dis ease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Cat'rrh Cure, ma...ufac tured by F. J. Cheney & Co, Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the i .ar ket. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any ease it fails to cure. Send for cir culars and testimonials. Address, F. J.

Eutaw prings, of Revolutionary fame, has o place in the State that will com are with it as a picnic ground. The excursion ran by the C. S. & i. railroad to-day, under the super ision of Capt. P. P. Gaillard, of Sum ar, was exceedingly pleasant. Many andsome ladies were aboard. South arolina is blest in this respect, and umter and Clarendon have their full bare of handsome and interesting idies. The C. S. & N. railroad con >any have erected a handsome pavil ton for dancing and other amuse aents. This magnificent building Ads comfort and gives charm to the lance not otherwise seen elsewhere n the country. It is built in the aost modern Northern style, some hing unusual in the low country. here is no place so beautifully locat d for pleasure and recreation in outh Carolina as Eutaw Springs.

How ofteni has ,upid's piercing dagger struck like a hunderbolt the heart of some young man and fell with awful wailiugs upon :he heart of some charming young lady, whose choice has fled to some listant land. The run from Sumter under the management of Capt. Gaillard and onductor G. W. Loring was muade with such care that every mouth was lled with praise. The day was z dot one, unusually so but ice cool temonade braced up every nerve and brigtened every face. On reaching the spring the coache were relieved of their fleshly load sc that various individuals marched tc the pavilion where dancing soon be *ame the fashionable program of the lay. Thrilling and cheering music rom the Sumter string band, turnet the tide and made the day memorabl ind lasting in the memories of every ne present. A visit to the Michigan lumibei nills, was also the attraction of the :ay. I think this decidedly the grandest and one of the most coin plicated of all machinery ever buil in South Carolina. One can scarce! imagine how it could possibly rut ud work with such wonderful precis ion. Situated on the waters of Santee where all timbers are rafted fron bove, and deposited in the cove al Pond Bluff, it presents a wonderfu sight. The time was spent in sight-seeing till the afternoon when the Yanks en tered the roll as wrestlers, wvhicla rused the excursionists no little is their performances bad to be greased by money (for Yankees lov money) the South Carolinians soor 'etreated from the field, and left the 1ichiganians masters of their owi situation.

FLOWnE NOTrS Fro A novel and very pleasing idea in home decoration is to have a flower pot bracket put up in the hall some where where the light falls on it, aid to place thereon a pot of gaily bloom ing flowers, priuroses, geraiums, or the yellow blossoming acacia. When one enters fron out of doors, tbis makes a lo-ely surprise and greeting. Gardening is a delightful occupa tion for women, and now is the time to pursue it. The smallest garden may be made a spot of beauty by proper management. If one has no garden to speak of, make an out-door window garden, a balcony, or piazza garden. Every house has one or many points of vantage for this sort of decoration, and the plainest house will take on an air of beauty if so treated. Boxes for window gardens need to be strong first, and neatly finished; they may or may not be decorated; they are best stained rather than pain ted, as painting shuts up the pores of the wood. A dull purplish red, or a low dull yellow, or ochre yellow, are the best colors; i. is not in good taste to paint them green. The window box, or the box for any other position, should hold at I least six to eight inches deep of soil. Eight to ten inches wide is a good size, and the length may be according to space where it is used, though it is well not to have these boxes too long. A simple way to decorate these boxes, where decoration is at all de sirable, is to nail to the front and ends oil-cloth of a striking and small design 'in good colors, but simple staining is just as desirable, because the vines and plants soon cover their [exteriors. Mignonette, sweet alyssum, porta lacca, and phlox Drummondii are ex cellent to sow in boxes having a southern exposure. Dwarf nastur tium vines make a charming showing, as do also the delicate blue lobelias. Ageratum, geraniums, oxalis, and many plants familiar to all plant lov ers will suggest themselves. Hanging baskets add greatly to the charm of wide, airy, or even narrow piazzas and balconies or verandas. Where the exposure is much shaded, smihax, ivy-leaved geraniums, trades cantias and climbing ferns are lovely -for the edges, while caladiumis, ferns, echeverias and marantas are all de sirable.-Ladids Tinr!d. How TO TAKE CAuE OF A PINO. -With proper care and attention a good piano should last a family a lifetime, says Charles H. Steinway, the piano ~manufacturer. If this is not given it, the piano will in time become harsh and "tin-pany," and afford little satisfaction or delight to its owner. Ordinary practice, wheth er by achild or a grown-up person, will not injure a piano in any way. It is not necessary to be a profession al piano player, and to know exactly with what force to strike the keys, in order to keel) the instrument in good condition. Of course, it will not be improved by thumping the case, or by striking the keys with any Ihard substance. Neither does this remark ap)ply to schools and institu-j tions where playing is taught and the instrument is used continuously for ten or twelve hours every day. In the latter case the felt portions will wear out sooner thean if it was used in a private family. The matter of tuning should not be neglected, and should never be intrusted to any other than an expe rienced person. Incapable tuners often work irreparable injury to the miost perfect and costly instruments. During~ the first year a new piano should he tune~d every three or four! months at least. After that, it will only~ be necessary to have it tuned at longer intervals.dngru Dampness is the mostdagru enemy the piano has to contend against, and for this reason the eli mate must be considered. If the in strument is piaced in a damp room, or left open in a draft of air, the result will be that the strings, tuning pins and the various metal parts will become coated with rust, and the cloth used in the construction of the keys and action becomes swollen. It is positively painful to play on such a piano.-E'rehangqe. To itself in many important particulars, flood's sarsaparilla is different from and superior to any other medicine.
