Spring and Summer An nouncement. I assert without fear. of con tradiction that I have the larg est stock of General 3Merchan dise kept by any Retail Store in the State. and my Spring and Summer stock is unusually large this year. I am not selling be low cost, but wishing to con vert this immense stock into money. I am determined to sell at the lowest ffigures. I invite a careful inspection of my goods. but please remember that it is impossible in so large an estab lishment to exhibit everything to public view: so ask for what you want, and my salesmen will take great pleasure in showing the goods. A Cordial invita tion is extended to all to visit my mammoth establishment. where they will find everything they require, and receive fair dealing and polite attention. MOSES LEVI. THE MANNING TIMES.

A bappy feature of the sitting of the Court, was the small number of crim inals to be tried. Rachiel McKaskill, a colored woman aged 115 years, died in Camden, on the 3rd inst. McFaddin, the infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Wentworth DuRant, died on Thursday, the 13th inst. The Sheriff lodged his three prison ers in the penitentiary yesterday. To dread no eye and suspect no tongue is the great prerogative of innocence. The editor is gratefully thankful for the liberality of his correspond ents in this issue of the Tns. Their communications came at a time when they are doubly appreciated-court week. The scholars of the Manning Acad emy, with their friends, enjoyed a picnic holiday among the grove of oaks surrounding the residence of Capt. W. R. Croskrey, last Friday. An exchange remarks that, as the hart panteth for the shaded brook in the summer time, so panteth a newspaper man after delinquent sub scriptions. Gen. E. W. Moise and W. F. B. Hansworth, Esq., of Sumter, were in town this week. The crop of corn and cotton, with the gardens, have been seriously dam aged in this County, by the protract ed drought. Through Messrs. C. A. Snow & Co., patent solicitors at Washington D. C., Mr. J. C. Malloner, of Charleston, has been granted a patent for mixed paint. The more honest our intentions are, the less suspicious are we of other's designs. The advantage of the stenographer in expediting the progress of the Court, was clearly demonstrated at the late session. By his assistance, the Coturt was in session only one day, without which, it would have lasted The extremely dry spell has seri ously interf'ered with Dr. Ingram's experiment in tobacco growing. The plants are supeib, some of them being~ as high as a foot and a half, but the unfavorable weather has detained them being transplanted, and unless it rains soon, they will be too large to be set out with success. Savannah Times% says: Somebody in South Carolina has spoken of the Citadel of Cnarleston as a "military dude factory." The cadets turned out by that institution are the most man ly" set of "dudes" that we ever saw. In fact they are men, all over, and sol diers, every inch~ of them. The man who calls them edies don't know a m~an when he sees him. ~AFFAIR D'AMOUR.-The aff'ectionate effusion here given, was picked up in Manning and left at the TIHES otic with instructions to restore on appli cation: Masrso., S. C., August 14, 1885. DEun S.arME: I write to let you know that I am well, and hoping to find you the same. I am very sorry that I treated you very cold, but I ui do it no more if you will do what you promised. Please come to m house Sunday night. I have some thing very nice to tell you. You must excuse this short letter. I11l close by sying MLuY. On the least intimation, the inter esting little billet dour will be either returned to sweet Oriana, or forward ed to her sighing Amiadias. TEACHERS' L~s~rUr.--The County Board of Examiners, at a meeting on Saturday of last week, decided to con vene the Institute for teachers, the last two weeks in July next; the morn ing hours of each day to be given to the white teachers, and the afternoon to the colored.

Baer, a distinguish ed scholar in Florence, who has made a specialty of this kind of work, has been written to and offered the place of manager. The Board has invited Profs. S. A. Nettles and W. B. Bonham to assist Prof. BSaer. The teachers of the county may expect to spend a pleasant and profitable time. Besides the regular exercises of each day, the teachers will be entertained with ad dresses from prominent citizens of the county. Capt. Conyers, our active School Commissioner, is putting forth Severy effort to make the meeting a complete success; that every teacher in the county may .find it within their means to attend, he has made arrange ments with the boarding houses of the town to board them at rates greatly reduced. Summerton Siftings. SurNimRoT, S. C., May 17, 1886. 31y Times! It has been a long time since I gave you a word, but as an oIccasional (dot) comes in very well, once-in-a-while, I write. There is no news in Summerton; a new thing becomes old in a hurry here; a fast place you see-steam and -and- -gas, and electricity-when we get the rail-road. Well, Mr. J. D. Rutledge surveyed it last Saturday to within a mile of Summerton, but as times are pretty lively, as to the sit uation of the depot, we would sug gest that a Pacific: committee be ap pointed to locate the place and drive down a peg, before he brings it in. The Methodists are to have a- Sun day School Celebration on the night f the 27th inst., Thursday, in their church. "Friday" would like to see all his friends on~ that occasion-Sam my Swamp, Tom, Occasional, Cat Fish, Mow Mouth, Phi Alpha, and the balance, so that we may talk over and make preliminary arrangements for having a Gala Day. When the R. IR. comes,-a dit'erent metre from "when the spring-time" &c. "Friiday" will welvome you, and I am certain that I can promise you the hzospitalitv of three old grass-wid owers, who, tdthough they stick pret ty close at home-while their wives are there-go 'larking" till 10 o'clock, on these moon-shiny nights. (I think it would be well for them to come home.) The grass widowers think it would be well for the Town Council to fix up Sumnmerton be/vre the R. R. comes, and make it look as "city' as possible, the streets, side-walks, &c., and -"the more saw-dust, the bet ter." FmnAr. Occasional Hits Back. RLOSIs Hr.L, May 14, 188G. MTh. EmrroI: It is universally con ceded that :he garden of Eden was at! one time the most lovely spot created, and that father Adam was the hap piest man that ever lived in the tide of time. There was mother Eve, so loelv fair. "Grace was in all her steps, Heaven in her eye; In every gesture, dignity and love.~ By a single stroke of nature she wvas created into womanhood, and became a wife as it were, by magic; she had no childhood, and was deprived of that most enjoyable age for tiirting and mash-making, in which some girls of the period delight to indulge. Adam being the only man upon whom to smile, finally suc-ceected in winning her undivided affections. Oh! hal) py pair, in such a bissful haunt! ! They latbored near each other, wind mg 'the wood-bine around the arbor, directing the clasping ivy where to limb, or trailing y-onder spring of roses, with sweet intercourse of looks and smiles: "For smiles from reason flow, To brute denied, And are of love, the food." The singing of birds, and lowing of herds, all harmonizing in sweetest an iso. But alas: "Satan having comn passed the eart iiuth meditated guile, returns as a mist by night," and lea ps~ the walls of 1Paradise. Confusion, death and ruin rule d the hour. Now M r. Editor, froml the very birth f the T uws, it has been noted and anpecitedfor its big souled, smooth tempered correspondents, who have always w'orked together in harmony, nd never allowed, the kindling of Ithose dirty sparks of envy and malice, Iwhich are but too apt to infest us.

"Lay on McDuff." Mr. Editor, your readers know that we are too Frieadlyin our nature to ever try to assume the role of critic; it was never our intention to wound. In bird hunting it is sometimes pleas mnt to make a good hit, but we never like to Bone-cm, for its the rounded bird that always fluteis and sjuols. Phi Alpha, if we hit you, - it was a stray shot; so please forgive us, and excuse us, should we decline in future to waste ammunition on a crippled bird. Peace to your ashes-good bye. OccASIoN. Letter from Panola. PAIkoL., S. C., May 14, ISS Mn. EDITOR: Since the warm spring months have made their appearance, old Sol retlects the rays of heat like a burning stove. Bright hope looms up and leaves the winter far behind-| man and beast, with every creeping reptile, are possessed with a new, ac tive life-the earth has put forth en couraging signs of another prosper ous year to the tillers of the soiL Farmers, doctors, lawyers, merchants, and politicians, with a measure brim full of pas-time, can be seen angling with hook and line, picnicing, etc. This is the blissful calm that usually precedes a storm. Way yonder in the distance, with a noiseless tread, the approach of Gen. Green can be iserned. He is standing off now, idding his time; when the heavens pen and the needed rain comes down ad mellows the thirsty earth, there ill be a giant in the midst of the armers; and won't your correspond ets make a howl that will astonish he natives. Panola is booming up abreast of the imes. With the onward march, our armers are no laggards. They are eginning to appreciate and utilize he modern methods of cultivating orn and cotton. One fellow is run ing a big implement acro" his cot on. The sight was novel to me, and after looking on a while, the following ialogue took place: Mr., don't that bing ruin your cotton ? "No," says he, "I do the same to my corn; look ow it works, and see how charming v it levels the cotton beds." I don't propose to wvrite up the pic ic at Flood's Mill. Sammy Swamp, our lively correspondent, wvas there, ad has already told you of everything that occurred, in the uncommion fresh ess of style, peculiarly belonging to he fairest and most handsome of all the quill-driver's on the staff of the 'fn'. Tom would have been elect ified to the end of his boots had he mown the eye of that correspondent rested on him any time during the a. 1 was at the picnic-thanks to* apt. B., but cannot tell anything bout what I saw--my honor was put n the square, especially as to the oc upants of the carriage-except the dinner which was so beautifully and tastefully arranged. Loaded with ev. ry substantial mortal could wish-as dl such tables are presided over by apt. U.-the dinner was a convivial feast that the gods might envy. Among the happy couples I saw Mr. Milligan with his handsome bride, also young ladies and gentlemen from umerton, Panola and Fulton. The former edlitor of the TIMns was on the grounds and his demeanor throughout the day would convince an observer that the little god Cupid, on a perch anidst the multitude of attractions presented by "Sammy Swamp," had sent an unerring shaft, to find a rest ing place on his susceptible heart. But I have digressed from my prom-I ise to only report what I heard. The gossip of the day was on a volume of subjects. I beard the opinions of several gentlemen on nut-grass as a food for hogs-one said he had kept eight hogs in good condition, on one nd one-fourth acres, for a year. I aave alwvays considered nut-grass an nemy of farmers, and I would like to: see others try the experiment. I was mpjressed also with a remiedy I heard for killing ground-moles. It is a nov process, that of placing to each hill of corn, a cow horn. That "Boomerang" for "Occasional" did cap the climax. It looks as if some of the staff are getting on their metaL I venture the opinion that the ne who attacks "Phi Alpha'' will get (riendly tight.
