Columbia, S. C Mr. H. B. Tindal has recently pur chased a fine large beautiful stallion, combining both racing and trotting qualities. Mr. Tindal is a lover of fine horses, and he has reason to be proud of this noble animal. A horse in Manning ran away twIce last Saturday. The first time he ran with Mr. Hutchinson, and, falling as he attempted to run into the livery stable, slightly sprained Mr. Hutch -inson's foot. The other time he ran with a young man, who, afraid to risk a running steed, leaped off him on the fly, sustaining only a slight injury. 'The Palmnetto Post is.not only used Nas a news and advertising medium, but to pu out an article used by Smany ladies; and spelled with a- big B"-Palmetto Post. It is to be inferred from the above that our esteemed contemporary is not a progressive paper since by its ~wn confession it is kept behind by~ the ladies. Mr.- Ferdinand Levi is meeting with great success in Sumter. We are informed that he is doing a very extensive business. His entire stock is new, and having in his recent trip North made some special bargains, he isgiving hiis customers the benefit of them.

He warrants all his work. He is a frst class workman, too, having learned his trade in Switzer land. Everybody in Clarendon county knows Mr. Moses Tevi, and they know he never pernz..s competition. He will do things better than anybody else, and will sell cheaper than any one else. He is just the kind of a man to make a success in business. and his success is almost phenominal. For the spat cash, Mr. Levi will sell at a very small profit, and taking into consideration the fact that he buys so largely, generally by the carload of every particular line of goods, and thus gets avantage of the very low- E est rock bootin prices, it is no won der he can sell so low. Go to him with the cash in your haud, and be will seli you at as low a price as you can get anywhere. We desire to express our and our readers, thanks to the correspondents this week. We earnestly ask that they will continue their valued cor respondence every week. This is one of the if not the most, interesting features of our paper. We hope next week to do even better, and get a let ter from every one of our correspond ents. It is our desire to obtain regu lar correspondents for every section of the county. We shall also be glad to get letters at any time on any sub ject. These things go a long ways towards making up a good paper, and that is what the TnIms wishes to be.

OALAcn, February 2.-For five days we have had almost continuous rain. I have heard of several bridges -being svept away in the section of Lower Salem, and the public high wa:'s are in. a wretched condition. Farmers are takin: advantage of the wet season by hauling fertilizers, re pairing pasture fences, and compost I heaps are receiving attention. Lum ber mills in this section are shut down, as it is impossible to haul from the woods. Fra:gments from Foreston. We have hal a week of rain which will set farmers back very much with then work.

Enton :-The Manning Tsr 'f 15th February came over to see inc (by the way it's the first visit 1 aver had from that paper), and am agreeably surprised to find it such a bright, newsy, well gotten up paper. I am r.ot able to say or judge that it is on the up grade or not, in conse guence of not having been a reader in the past. But without any im orovemient it is well worth the sub scription prioe, twice over. I woul like to send you some items of news, but they are very scarce just at this time. Mr. T. Wilson is constantly at work improving his large saw mill business. Re Gives employment to numbers of men, thus aiding them in earning a iving. Among the employees there are a number of nice inteligent gentlemen nd ladies. Ida can boast of a large comfortable church, with a' goodly number of members, and a live ndav-school. Nearly all of these things are due directly to Mr. Wilson's euterprise and energy. Ida is a growing place, and a very desirable one. The peo ple are very hospitable and kind. At last we have a sun-shiny day. We have Lad a very hard fall of rain. nevertheless the farmers are well up with their work. Cotton is receiving a large share of attention, oats both fall and spiing, are very promising. J. Ida, S. C., Feb. 25th. Sumwierton Sayings. Congratulations on your return to the tripod are none the less sincere from your old friends because of their tardiness. Your predecessor gave us a good paper, Mr. Editor, and you will have to look to your laurels. But your reputation as a newspaper man is already established, and your many friends have no fear-this by way of an introduction. Summertcn occupies the same place geographicaily that it did when this correspondent was last heard from. Its aspirations however, are boundless. It claims big territory south and west by Santee, north by Sammy Swamp, east by, by-well the line has not been located vet, it will wait until the railroad is here before it says whether it will absorb the county seat or not. Pretentions, do you say? Oh well, "ce rill eve va cte cal see." The railroad is a theme the Summertonians have never worn threadborr. It is, or rather they (the two railroads) are coming. Capt. Barkley, President, and Mr. Fowler, General Manager of the Eutaw, were here this last week. Said they had quit gassing, and now meant busi ness. They were in search of timber to commence operations this side of Santee, on the trestle. What a boon its completion to Summerton would have been to the farmers this season. Ten thousand sacks of guano already to haul through the mud and slush, and every boat-two a week-bring ing from two to three thousand more. As the Eutaw is reaching over the river a long arm for this business, it has stimulated the A. C. L. torun a feeder into this section. Mr. Wilson has completed his survey to this place. What bothers Summerton folk now is the kecitifn <f d1e UNION DEPOT. Please be sure to spell Union Depot in capitals. Ev ery lot owner wants it near to or up on his lot. An arbitration must de ide this momentous question. But more about the railroad, anon. The school festival, in spite of un favorable weather, panned out well financially. The young ladies, to whose -admirable management the affair owed its success, deserve the thanks of the entire community. Dan Ducello did not pass us by. His entertainment was well worth the admission fee. He is a whole team, literalhy, for his troupe consisted of van Dncello and himself, with an ap pendage, it's true, for a banjo player, a costume for whom, and~ a discontim uance of the filthy habit of chewing and spitting on~ the stage, would greatly enhance the merrits of the performance. We would be truly gldl to see the Professor again, and promise him a better audience. Dr. Burgess's drug storer is nearly completed. The Doctor will go down to Charleston this week for his stock and fixtures. What few oats are planted are look ing well, the winter having been very favorable to them. Farmers are backward mainly on account of the recent heavy rains. The general health of our neigh borhood is good, bad colds constitut ing the sum of the sickness. Master Willie Gorden D3elser re ceived a painful injury on the night of the festival. In jumping over the benches, with the other children, he tripped, his leg being caught by a nail or something of the kind, whiclh made a horribly ugly lacerated wound1 over shin bone, the dressing of whic: necessitated the use of chloroform and the needle. He was doing well esterday. This week opens propitiously for the farmers, last week was just awful ly awful. We are hoping for a good crop year, but certain indications are to be deplored. The demand for gu. anos is unprecedented. Corn is non selling for eighty cents, and the de mand cannot be supplied. Every body igoemad after cotton. What did the old Latins say? "Quemn Deus rul perdere prias dlemenftat.' Ain't thai about it? Prof. Edwards's popularity is de servedly growing. He is a god teach. er, and socially is clever and genial making- him an immense favorite, es pecially with the young ladies. ANON. Summerton, Feb. 27th. Garden Seeds at Dinkins & Co.'s. Subpona tickets~ for sale at Txr, Isthe Pension Law Unjust? Mn. Enrron:-In your issue of 8th Feb'y, your piece beaded The Pension Law Unjust, after criticising our le; islators, you branch out on poor sol-'' diers. You say the law savors too much of supporting mendicancy; that the soldiers who deserve the pension are those who have something. We venture there is not one who lost a limb, and has accumulated property, but had something when they came out of the war. You have thrown a bomb in the camp of the. poor Con federate soldiers. You have given them a weapon to stab you with. How about the poor soldiers who came out of the war without a scratch, and are still poor to-day. They must cer tainly be worse than mendicants. We did not think there was a man in South Carolina who would wish our soldiers to be beggars. You certain lv do as you say pension the few, very few, if not by the State, then by their neighbors. We would like for you to mention a few who asked the State to peusion them. Our soldiers have been silent ever since the war closed, I not asking for a ceut, and now to be accused as beggars or recommended to beg their neighbors, is too bad1; its a shame. Now, Mr. Editor, do you wisi your paper to prosper ? if so, take our word for it, you let soldiers alone. You have subscribers all over the I county who you are recommending to beg their neighbors. We admit there are black sheep in all flocks, but your assertions are too broad. Fnk-x EDWARDS & O-rmns. Sandy Grove, Feb. 2.4th. Panola Ghit Chat. Mn. Emron:--After an abscrm.- of several weeks, I propose to fuinto line and give the readers of the .Tom, weekly, my usual dots. As spring ad vances I may be able to gather items of news of more general character to everybody. For everything seems mionotonous-scarcely anything to write, except rain. This might justly be called a rainy week. It almost excells any time we have ever known, for farming operations. Lands are so boggy, that if the rain stops, a week must elapse before plowing can be re sumed. The wet weather has caused much delay. Instead of getting ready to plant we all have to ditch. There is really some uneasiness felt as to the future prospects of the farming inter est of the community, because of so much rain. It is impossible to fore see what will be the character of the I T.

It seemss Ls if they loath to trust the married ife. The boys, however, think differ- 2 mtly, and espouse the cause with nuch more energy and zeal ; but: ith all their affectations it proves un vailing. It has always been my niL ure to avoid controversy, and to ;uard against compliments, therefore touch delicately upon this subject, L s there are no boys in our days. In our immediate neighborhood the political pot has commenced to boil. t Xs early as it is in the year, there are, several candidates in the field, and it1 s very ]ikeiy the canvass will be a ively one. It is early in the canvass or this disturbing element to be fer nented, never;heless we hare alrea iy wo candidates for Sheriff, one for he Legislature, cne for County Jommissioner, each claiming indis ?utable right to election. In all prob Lility there will be a candidate for I chool Commissioner in opposition to he present incumbent. If this be ;he case, '~nola with characteristie eal is making preparations to paint he county red. Ducello came to time. The exhibi :ion meets unfavorable comment. It lid not in any shape or form come up .o the advertisement, therefore there xvas dissatisfaction, and he will not! ikely deceive the people again. TOM. Panola, Feb. 2nth. Jordan Notes. Jr:rdan is moving quietly but reso. lutely along the path of prosperity. Our merchants and many of our farmers have been to Charleston re cently to purchase supplies, the former are now driving a lively busi ness. The farmers of this section have gone to work with a cetermination, which, with the large amount of fer tilizers procured, insures another big crop. The public schools are still in ses sion in this district and will be until the last of March. The credit for this great improvement in the length of the term is due our worthy board of trustees, who have managed the schools in such a lucrative and equit able way, that their changes and de cisions have met with general appro bation, with the exception of one or ;wo teachers, who were thrown out R IN id Marble Mantels, Force and Lift bing Materials, and Tin Iloofing. - - - Charleston.
