Friday, white applicants to teach in the free school will be examined Saturday is appointed for the colored. The Central Hotel vard is much improved in appearance by a neat, substantial fence. Rev. L. D. Bass left last Monday for his home in Greenville, Ala., where he has been called to preach. Remember the dime reading at the residence of J. S. Wilson, Esq., this evenng. Miss Sue Galluchat came home Friday, from a trip to relatives. Mr. Sinclair, our popular artist, is still here, but doesn't expect to stay miuch longer. Miss Ida Briggs has returned from an extended visit to the up country. During her absence Miss Ida accom panied the Press Association party to Washington.

Misses Hass and Levy are refugee ing from Charleston at Mrs. Louis Loyns'. Rev. Mr. Garris will preach in the Presbyterian Church at Summerton, to-moirow night, the 30th. He will be assisted by Rev. Mr. Dunlop. Our Presbyterian friends are busy prepairing for their Presbytery, which meets here on the Sth prox. The school advantages afforded in Manning are'unsurpassed by auy town of like size in the State. The high prices paid by Mr. Schwerin, our cotton buyer, for cot ton, actually amazes somec of our mner chants, -and even surprises the even going farmer. The Presbyterian Church has been considerably improved by the appli cation of paint, brush, saw and hama mer, for the coming Presbytery. Our young "Nimrods" would act svisely to remember that the ]'ws of sthe State prohibit, with a severe pen .alty, the hilling of doves, partridges, <etc., between the 1st of April and Nvember Judge Cothran received The nomi -nation for Congress from the fifth District, iy a mnost flattering vote. He is one of our ablest judges, and 'will be missed in that department, ~but as a-congressman, his career, we ~are satisfied, will be a briliant one, redowning to the honor of his State. There comes a time in every little girl's life when she is seized 'with a longing to cook, and there comes a time in every big girl's life when she is seized with a longing to hire some body els3 to cook. It comes after ~she gets married. A race horse devil paid his respects to the Thus the other day. He made :a profound obeisance to us with his long horn, but perceiving that the editor didn't represent the d-1 part of .the business, he departed to anoth er'guarter of the room. With the streets filled with wagons and carts loaded with cotton, and the stores thronged with people busily shopping, our town presents a lively, thrifty business sir. Our merchants are doing everything to attract the trade of the country to Manning. and appearances indicate that their efforts are not without good results. When heaven and earth are a parched scroll, and time shall end, all men will then wish for a clear record between man and man. This event is predicted to happen to-day, and if the subscription book of the Tnirs is rescued from the debris of a ruined world, alas! the fate of a legion of subscribers. Mrs. Isabella Chavis, wife of Rev. . M. Chavis, colored, died on Wednesday, the 22~nd. One of the largest and most relia ble insurance companies doing busi ness in the 'United States, is the Equitable Life Assurance of New York. A notable instance of the fair dealings of this Company was mani fested in the case of Mr. J. Hogan, of Greeleyville, whose lamentated death by the bursting of an engine boiler 'e had occasion to chronicle recently. Mr. Hogan's life was insured in the Equitable for $2,000, which by the laws of insurance, as stated in the policy, had to be paid in sixty days after the death of the insured. The Equitable did not wait for that time to elapse, but immediately on the proof of Mr. Hogan's death, forward ed a check ,for the amount to their ug-theore Mr Wilson. This action be speaks the character of the compauny, and we can safelv recoumend it to our readers, as 'honest and Simon pure. De reJs!' M"!h1 for October comes to us full to overflowing with ( ood things. No hidv should be without this household guide, for while it amuses through its story department, it in structs and keeps iLs readers posted right up to the times. It teaches how to adorn home and make it beautiful by instructing the hands as well as the iuind and heart. Every man who loves his home should see to it that his wife, mother, daughter or sister is provided with this progressive mag azine, which combines the essentials of all others, and besides the magazine itself, wich is all that could be desir ed, a coupon is found in every nuin ber, entiiling the holder to any select ion of any pattern in that number, and of any size. A subscriber may thus get patterns to fit to the amount of $3.60 each year. It is a mystery how the Demorest's can offer this. GRAND Excmsios.-The "Atlantic Coast Line" has very generously got ten up an excursion for the benefit of the earthquake sufferers in Charleston, and every one who can unite business with pleasure, should utilize this oc casion to benefit the needy and poor of the city. All along the Central Rail-road to the city and return for $2-to begin Oct. 2nd, 1886. The entire net proceeds of the eu terprise will be turned over to the I Mayer of the city. 3NhrivELors WONDR.n-We have just been handed an ear of corn from the field of Mr. N. Stannea, of our town. It has, standing in proud prominence, one good solid ear, and surrounded by ten smaller ones, making eleven in one shuck. This does pretty well for our thrifty Frenchman. He is proud over the results of his farming, and preambled the presentation to the TmxEs with an address to Messrs. Tis dale and Legg, who had brought specimens in the shape of corn, and began thusly: "You presented an ear of corn to the MAssiNo TniES, who weighed one ton. I has had muster ed up a ear of corn that is a hen and chickens around her. The ear con tains a brood of nine chickens under one shuck, a reasonable size to eat and still a growing-only a pity it aint turned into fowl meat. And nay,' a., as you don't believe it, I show mid You that it is a fact as I tell you. Mr. Legg has four ears under one shoot, I and I has ten under one shuck." I GoosE Cr.Er CHUrcH-This famous old relic, of generations long since passed away from the earth and con structed in colonial days, we believe, has at last succombed to the earth quake which recently wrecked so large a part of the Atlantic coast. After breasting the storms of many a year, its moss grown walls have begun to totter to a final fall. It is a great ca lamity to be robbed of this connect ing link between our day and the time gone by. THE EARTHQUAKE. BY DBI. J. L. EiSTEP.L1G. The forces of nature may terribly shock Whzen they- follow the spade, axe and blasting of rock, Whilst meteors that sport in the heavens doth fall, In beautiful showers which scarcely ap pall. Man miay cut down, he may dig, he may bore, Tet nature's stern laws will be sure to res tore Every iaw in her poise, let it cost what it may. With electric convulsions or storm lights at play.I Observation from the City of Sand HIlls. FrLTroN, S. C., Sept. 24, 1886. Things begin to look, and the weath er to feel quite autumnal, these beauti ful and pleasant days of glorious gol den sunshine, (and other gush we for-' get now) make as exquisite an Indian summer as any country can boast of. Farmers are gathering their cotton crops with unusual celerity, as labor seems to be more plentiful than here tofore-but still the animated dark colored cotton picking machine seems to be inoculated with an air of inde-' pendence, nut characteristic of the hungry days of June, his contenance reflects a sort of "I've got the bulge, don't you forget it" expression. Fall 'is indisputably the darkey's Croesus of 'the year. The yield of the fleecy sta pe bids fair to "pan out" much better than was anticipated. The price of ginning is much, cheaper than last' year. Our Valedictory on Primaries and Candidates.-The primaries being over, and earthquake scare subsiding. folks seem to be getting down to sold business again. Of course while ma n are pleased with the county ticket' as completed, there are some who! would have preferred to see the desti nies of some oflices entrusted to oth ers, but all are sufficiently loyal to their party to assist in ratifying the nominations by an election in Novem-' ber. The retrospection of the events and results of the recent canvass, to the defeated candidate, must be some what imbittered, as he contemplates Ithe once bright and slining buggy now obsolete, or as shattered as hi pedestal of bright hopes, and lofty as pirations, and as he views the horse previously fat but subsequently thins -his lost confidence in his fellow eit izens who proved recreant to thei plihted word, or when the strikingly realistic panorama of the couutless specimens of "young America" he kissed during his canvass conmes be fore him,-and all for? Naught ! Burke exhausted his almost bound less resources in the "Beautiful and sublime;" Shakespeare portrays his ideal of a friend in the noble charac ter of Iago; Dickens touched the lim it of descriptive power in the pious sicerity of Mr. Pecksniff and the sta tueque posing of Mr. Turveydrop; ]"ret. Harte has aroused the 1nsvo-ithv of tbe vorl 1y his t(arfu.1l p:th 1.) in delin eatin t.he gentle, the chililike aL bland, tLe celestial heathen Chi nee; but when and wlre sh:dl come aiother Burke, anotr iiShakspeare, anothcr Dickens cr Ilarte, who can adequ-at.ly portray the beauty fal sublim'ity, the noble unslihh j friend Ship and philanthropical regard. the unmitigated sincerity, the exquisit pose and celestial innocence of soine of Clarendon's recent candidates. Our Merchants all have large stocks and are vying with each other in cut ting down prices in order to "catch on" to the trade with the emoluImnCI and appurtenances thereunto apper taining, and thereby obtain a hand some competency, and acquiro that amount arrogance and grub which wealth and position yield. At least that's what one of our young Stewarts in embryo told us he was driving at, and in consideration of a telephone cigar we promised to mnentiou it. Fulton Merchants invite the segrega tion of sanded or artificially diew dampened cotton, nusty corn, decay ed peas, over-ripe and coivalescent eggs, dyspeptic chickens-b)orrcowed these moonless nights while their pi ous owners are worshipping "in the beauty of holiness" at Zion's Hill, and will give in exchange, pre-histo-ric cheese-replete with specimens of entomolog, antemundane cracke:rs, farinaceous confectionary, great anti billious whoopemuplizajane cemetei y populating ginger tonic, fish of the irredeemable past-in bad order, ebe. etc. Should our merchants desire to evidence their appreciation of this puff-we will take sugar in our's and a clove for dessert. There will be a ball this evening at Calvary Grange Hall. We thanik our kind friend, "Occasional," for a cv bination. invitation. Individualities. Miss Zula Skinner, of Barnwell, is visiting at Mr. J. D. Weeks. Mrs. R. M. Brailsford is spen ding some time in Sumter with her siister, Mrs. P. P. Gaillard. Mr. Robt. Johnson, (more familiar ly known as "Bob") of Packsville, honored Fulton with a visit last Tues day, making our heart gleesome. May the reflection of his form in the sun shine always maintain its present pro portions. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Toomer and family, of Charleston, are the iests of their nephew, Mr. R. M. Brailsiord. Mr. Toomer came up about two w%.eks ago with his family refugees, from the "thrice scourged, but still pxtient, still brave, still hopeful, City by the Sea." ARGoNUT.. PANOLA NEWS. C~u~.aY, Sept. 20, ISSG. Mr. EnITon:-If you draw a like from here, direct to Summerton, you mark one of the finest cotton regions of the county. This takes in a belt of! soil equally as fertile as the Tex.i.s prairies. I was forcibly struck with the magnificent cotton farms of Mr. R. H. Belser and the Hon. James E. Tindal. Aside from these on the riv er side, there is Mr. James M. Rich ardson, who stands equally abreast of his neighbors. Cotton, with these gentlemen, looks to be a specialty. They can show you how to economnizej and what profit there is in heavy ma-f nuning. If vou are familiar with farm work~ it is' only necessary to ride over these farms to be convinced that free labor can be utilized to advantage, and with such system that the wealth of the country will largely increase. I do not think the cotton crops will yield as expected month ago. In this region crops have met some disas ter. The worm is stripping the leaves, while the boll worm is more trouble some, doing greater damage than in former years. Farmers are busy at work. Laborers demand higher wa ges for picking cotton, so when ex penses are paid little remins. I have listened to so muchargument on the farmers' ills during the political cam-i paign, I often wonder wihy ic is thatI wages cannot be better regulated. In] this particular does not farmers de vour themselves? I did not think to wander so far; my meditations were intended, for the Sabbath, the beautiful scenery at the baptismal font, of which I was an eye witness to the burial of four lovely Ia lies in the liquid grave, in obedicnce to the command of their Lord and Saviour. The sun rose on the Sab bath with grandeur and beauty, andj everythmng was smeoth and quiet. There was no ruffling wave to disturb the peaceful mind; it was as tihe still ness of death, or a calm after a storm. Like King Agrippa, "we were almost persuaded." Tihe Revc. H. W. Maho ny performed the solemn ordinance of baptism before a weeping congrega tion, then returned to his pulpit and delivered a solemn and impressive sermon on the Deluge-picturing the sad end of the Antedeluvian world then applied his concluding remarks ] to the judgment--when all mankind must give account of himself to Go. We leave to-day for Pauola to visit friends in that locality, where we might gather some stray leaves among the associates of our youth, and end this letter in hope, never to forget the ties of friendship of former years.j There are but few old men left. The venerable John J. Holladay still lin gers about the shores of time-close by, lives W. W. Coullette, who has reached hlis three score years and ten., Among these kind friends we were nursed in tihe lap of piety, to say nothing of those wvho await us be yond the grave "The birds tarry not for the winter, butI And sing in the distance, the songs of my home! !

Bono) Barealde is a character sketch of urujsual merit: Colonel Nicholas Smith has a bright paper. entitled, My First Conquest; Mt11aurice Thonup son writes of the Kinghsher in his most charming style; G.
