Local Intelligence. To-day is Ash Wednesday, the be ginning of Lent. Married on the fourth of March at the residence of Mr. W. 0. Dorrity, by Rev. L. D. Bass, Mr. Zack Godbolt to Mrs. Minnie Parish. A gifted poet writes, says the Clay (on Bud: "The devil arose from his little bed, and washed his face and combed his head." We hope not to be considered profane if we ask where in hell he got his water. The dwelling of Dr. J. I Ingram narrowly escaped burning on Sunday morning - the 7th. Catching from sparks out of the chimney, the shin gles on the roof were in a bright blaze when discovered. The timely assist ance of 'Mr. J. H. Lesesne, who reach ed the top of the house at considera ble risk, and with water checked the flames till the arrival of the Hook and Ladder Truck, saved the building. The Equitable Gazette, published by the Equitable Life Assurance So ciety of New York, is- on our table. The Equitable is among the largest and is no doubt one of the most res ponsible assurance companies in the United States. Mr. F. N. Wilson is the Company's agent at Manning. The durability of the Stieff pianos is established, and hence they are sought after by every one wishing a strictly first class instrument, schools, colleges, Professers and the musical people generally. The Mess. Stieff have made great -improvements in their pianos of late, Uprights, Squares and Grands and their trade is con stantly on the increase and has exten ded to all sections of the country. At the late New Orleans Exposition, they were the only piano firm to receive two gold medals. A Vzsrto.-A train a few evenings ago brought the high Sheriff of Sum ter to Manning. Excitement was qui vise. A rogue here and a rogue there gave one quick glance at the iron vis age of the visiting peacemaker and fled to the cover of darkness. How ever the miscreants breathed free air when the Sheriff, modestly blushing. remarked: "I have come for my gal" He is regarded as an oracle when the truth is in question and the next morning a curious crowd were at the dep:>t to see who the gal was. Sure enough the. gallant Sheriff was on hand, accompanied by an amazon, gentle and of submissive demeanor,l over wh-om his fostering care adnamns tered to hecr every motion. The' train came, the attached pair on board, the snorting engine soon left a hurraing crowd of admirers behind. Mr. S. Wolkoviskie sells the "Old Velvet Ry-e Whiskey." See ad.

Let me help you take off your coat, dear. Mn. Eurroa : Allow me through the medium of your paper to express my grateful thanks to my friends, for the timely assistance so promptly and ef fciently rendered in saving my resi dence from destruction by fire on Sun day morning last. The heroic and almost superhuman efforts of young Harry Lesesne and Grantham, in reachir g the roof from the too short ladder, excited surprise and admiration from all who beheld it, and to their efforts so timely rend ered, much was accomplished. The prompt response of our colored citizens on this as on former occas ions, deserves the highest praise and gratitude of the community. They have always proven friends in such emergencies and have never failed to prove both their willingness and abil ity to assist in protecting the proper ty of the town, which I am sure is greatly appreciated by all good citi zens. Respectfully, JNO. I INGRAM. March 1th, 1886. The Intendant of Maaning Condemns the Agent of the Sumter Amateur Dramatic Company for Dodging the Town Li tense. To Taz Enrmr oF THr MANNING Tmzs.-As Intendent of the town of Manning, I deem it proper to make public through the medium of the press the following: There is an ordinance in force in or town, requiring all shows, troops etc., etc., to pay as a license, a sum of money, not less than five dollars, for the privilege of exhibiting or perform ing, unless excused by the Council. Consequent-ly the Sumter Amateur Dramatic Company by their recent usua license fee. 1>lieving the troop were composed of gentlemen, who in cewing to Manning, as iudicated by their name, were prompted more by the pleasure to be derived from their visit than any monetary consideration, I neglected the usual precation of having the money collected in advance. The next morning I asked Mr. V. C. Kops, the agent of the company, had a marshdl been to him for the license. He replied in the negative, and added that he did not expect to be charged. I told him I was not dispcsed to make him pay the license, but had not the authority to release it without the consent of the wardens. Mr. Kops replied, "I have already seen three wardens, and they have consented to my not paving it." I rejoined that I must see them myself and left him for that purposp. On interviewing the wardens I found Mr Kops had misstat ed facts. He had seen but one of them, Dr. H. H. Huggins, who says he told Mr. Kops he was willing to do whatever the others did. However it was agreed between the wardens and myself to release the license fee, and I ieturned to where I had left Mr. Kops to acquaint him with that fact, when, to my unbounded astonishment, I learned that after my departure he had hastily gathered his effects to gether and fled towards Sumter as I fast as a couple of horses could carry I him, urged on by a free application of the whip, saying as he left, "I don't intend to pay the $5 and will jump the town while he is gone." My sur prise and regret was great. I was mortified to see the representative of a troop from our neighboring town, Sumter, to whom I had endeavored to show every attention, utterly disre garding his manhood, act the rene gade. I acquit the troop of any col lusion in Mr. Kops' trickery. A greater part of them had returned home in the early morning, and among them are gentlemen for whom I enter tain the profoundest respect, nor do I think any one of them would have wit tingly connived at Mr. Kops' trickery. This genfleman not only made asser tions to me that he knew to be false, but he has shown himself to be a' trickster of a high order. To the public, I say, beware of Mr. Kops. W. K. BELL, ntendent of the Town of Manning. Summerton Siftings. Su-mmrTox, S. C., March 8, 1886. MA. EDiToR : On account of the win - ter having been so severe, and the Lien law having been "busted," par ticularly the latter, Friday has been unable to make "arrangements for the year," and hence has had to '-'suspend" r "go into winter quarters," some thing like the majority of your corres pondents; but Uncle Fed-(thank you Tom, you do speak words in season some times, you have, at least, given! :e something to say now,) baving seen my awkward position, came right squarely up to my rescue, and has thus proven himself to be one of my est friends; he lets me have rations, ad will also give mec as many "twvo ors" or "three-fors"-(he keeps three-fors" now)-as I want, I say ust as many as I want in-zn-trade. e is all right, Tom, but as for his loIcan't say so muc. he d tell me, thtadog just might as well e walking in the middle of the Dead Sea, as to be "hankering" around on his side of the country.

The following is a petition present ed to the Governer of South Carolina in 1733, by sixteen maidens then re siding in Charleston, all of whom, no doubt, afterward obtained husbands, or if they did not, they were denied their just dues, for such determined efrsdsrved success. We believe the idea therein conveyed is still prev alent, and the girls are as anxious as ever to retain the widows: "The hum ble petition of all maids whose names are underwriten. Whereas we hum ble petitioners are in a very melan choly disposition of mind, considering Ihow all the baehelors are blindly cap tivated by the wido~ws, and we are this, our request is that. your Excel leuev will for the future order that nc wx idow presume to marry an~y young man till the nmids are providcd for; yr elSe to pay cacl of them a flue foi satisfaction for invading our liberties: and likewise a fine to be levied on all such bachelors as shall be married to widows. The great disadvantage it is to us mnaids is that the widows, by their forward carriage, do snap up the yong men, and have the vanity to think their merit beyond ours, which is a great imposition to us, who ought to have the preference. This is hum bly recommended to your Excellency's consideration, and hope you will per mit no further insults. And we poor maids, in duty bound, will ever pray." A Tery Remarkable Story. A gentleman who lives in the east ern part of this county tells one of those stories that few people will be lieve "without seeing it." He says that he was out fox hunting, and when the chase was at the height of its ex citement his horse ran into an old well thirty feet deep. The horse was instantly killed by the fall, but the rid er was unhurt. The walls of the well had caved in at the bottom, a distance of three or four feet, and the gentle man says this prevented getting out by digging foot-holds. Realizing his situation, he began to call for help at the top of his voice, but no assistance came. He was comlpelled to remain all night, and the next morning the .tench arising from the dead carcase of the horse was anything but pleas ant, and he noticed that the buzzards were soaring over the spot. Finally the buzzards began to alight in the well and it was then a bright idea struck him. He decided to catch the buzzards by the leg as they came down until he had got a sufficient number to carry him out. That he did, and when he caught as many as his hands would hold, he 'shewed' at them and they flew up, carrying him out of the well. But still the fox hunter was in a dilemma. The buzzards flew up so rapidly that he could not turn loose when lie reached the top without fall ing back in the well. Upward the buzzards flew with their human freight, and the fox hunter began to dispair of his life after all. When about one hundred yards above the ground, the fox hunter was about to let go and fall, when he was struck with another idea. He decided to loose one buzzard at a time until his weight would pull him downward. Acting upon this plan he soon landed safely upon the ground.- Columwbus (Ga.) Sun. Newspaper Advertising. Journal of Progress: Newspaper ad vertising, by business men having; faith in their own wares, is the most effective means for securing for their goods a wide recognition of their mer its. Newspaper advertising compels in quiry, and when the article ofered is of good quality and at a fair price the natural result is increased sarles. Newspaper advertising is a perma nent addition to the reputation of the goods advertised, because it is a permanent influence always at work in their interest. Newspaper advertising is the most energetic and vigilent of salesman, addressing thousands each day, al ways in the advertiser's interest, and ceaselessly at work seeking customers from all classes. -Newspaper advertising promotes trade, for even in the dulleet times advertisers secure far the largest share of what is being done. While the advertiser eats and sleeps, prin ters, steem engines and printing press es are at work for him, trains are bearing his words to thousands of towns and hundreds of readers, all glancing with more or less interest at the mnessage piepared for them in the solitute of his office. No preacher ever spoke to so large an audience, or with so little effort, or so eloquent ly as you, reader, may' do with the newspaper man's assistance. Miss Jessie Wagner Is the daughter of Mr. D. RI. Wagner, of the firm of Messers. C. RL Wagner & Co., merchants in Water Valey, Miss. He writes from his home under date October 10, 1885 and says: "Our little girl, Jessie, was taken with scrofula about six years ago. She was only six years ol. We tried all the physicians in our towvn, as well as those at Hot Springs and Eureka Springs, Arkansas; in Philadelphia and New York City, besides the vir tues of numerous other springs which we visited, and did for her all that af fection and money could do for about four years, and with all this we barely managed to keep her alive. She was the most afflicted child I ever sawv. She had abscesses on all of her joints and on her neck, and small pieces of bone worked from them for more than two years, and her elbow and hip joints stiffened. After trying, as we thought, almost everything, and appar ently without any permanenteff'ect, in ur despair concluded to try Swift's Specific. Strange to say before she had finished the first bottle we saw a change for the better. Her appetite began to improve, and her eyes to brighten. Soon she ceased to com plain of the distressing pains which had made her life miserable for the previous years In ten months after she began to take S. S. S. all the ab scesses had healed up, and she now had grown much taller and improved in weight twenty per cent. Now, with the exception of a stiff elbow and hip, she is as well as anyone. No one who knew her condition four years ago thought she would ever get over it. We attribute her recovery to Swift's Specitic entirely. I have seen it tried with several others here, and always with good results." Tus Swwr SPECmeI Co., Drawer 3, Atlanta, Ga. 15~7 W 23d St..
