He has a planing machine attached to the mill. Mr. Harvin has, also, all kinds of machin ery for sale, and he guarantees that he will give the factory's lowest cash prices. Parties needing any kind of machinery, new or second hand, will do well to see Mr Harvin. The case of W. Scott Harvin vs. Rosa C.

Expect to pay less for the spot cash. In Charleston and Sumter you pay the cash. Mr. Levi assures us that be will for the cash duplicate any bill; but that he cannot afford to do so, and wait six or ten months for his money. Last Thursday night two weeks ago, one Mr. James E.

On Sunday night following, however, he succeeded in securing the treasure, desite the father's vigilance. As soon as tbe irrate father found that his daughter was gone, he started in pur suit. but the eloping pair took the back track, and while the father was going in one direction, they went in an opposite one, where they knew the preachegwas, and were married.

FoBESros, March 10.-Editor Trs :-I see in your last issue an article signed "B. A." These initials, undoubtedly stand for "Balaam's Ass." I thought this antiquated beast dead thousands of years since, but not so ; he still survives, and has again "opened his mouth and spoken." He wishes to be Intendant ot Fores ton, and hopes upon the morning of the election to have a mantle spread over his ugliness, and he himself trotted in as a "Dark Horse." OErreE HowiER. A Terrible Fall at the Store of F. Levi in Sumter ( A Pricate Dispaztch.] Sorrim, S. C., March 13, 1888.-A fall that terorized the older merch ants of our town occurred here when F. Levi upened up his tremendous stock of spring goods yesterday. It Iwas afall in prices, and there is a constant rush among the ladies to I"the Bogin old stand" to make the first selections from the most tastily assorted stock of dress patterns ever brought to this market. Mr. Levi sells on the "'iuick sale, sm~all profit and spot cash" system. I. Notes from New Zion. NEw ZIoN, March 10.-After a3 ab sence of som~e time on account of not being convenient to a post-office, I will now fall in and try to keep your readers posted with the happenings of New Zion, though news is a scarce article at present~. - I hope, however, as spring advances, there will be some brighter times with us. We are hav ing some very pretty weather now, and our farmers are making use of it, by getting in some good work in the way of preparing cotton lands. The Ifamiliar sound of gee and haw are heard on every side. Oats that were sown in the fall are looking fine, and there are good stands where they were sown in February. The gener al outlook bids fair for a fine harvest should it get no backset. the Clarendon circuit was held at the New Zion Methodist Church last Sat urdav. Rev. J. S. Beasley preached an able and instructive sermon to a very large and appreciative congre gation in the morning. In the after noon t' :c nference convened with Rev. Mr. Ialey in the chair, and W. H. Floyd, secretary, and transacted the usual business. Rev. Mr. Beasley preached again on Sunday morning at 11 o'clock, and at the conclusion of the sermon administered the sacra ment of the Lord's supper. Miss Sue Mouzon, of Williamsburg, is visiting friends in this section. Miss Eddie Wheeler, a charming young lady of this place, has return ed, to the delightpf her many friends, from a visit to friends in Darlington. SIGu1. Summerton Sayings. SiMmToX, M a r c h 12.-Cold weather and floods of rain are mate rially harrassir~g the farmers, and re tarding all field work. It feels to-day like mid winter, and instead of plant ing corn, as the advanced season might warrant, they are trying to pre pare their lands as best they can, turn ing the plow in middle of the fields, the bottoms being too wet and boggy to run through. It is bad enough on our highlands; sorry for those sec tions less fortunate. In this connection I anxiously ask, what has become of Foreston ? Not entirely submerged I hope. One of our wide awake citizens, in going down to Charleston, the other day, was on the lookout f->r that lively little village among the p-p-ponds, and when he got to Grcelyville, he was told that he had passed it. Now what has our good old friend of the many finny abases to say. We would suggest that a meeting of the muni cipal functionaries be called, and an appropriation voted for a conspicuous sign-board, marking the place where it used to be. We don't talk much about railroads now, Mr. Editor; things are getting monotonously certain on that point. We hear that the Eutaw will begin operations on this (Summertor) end next Thursday, 15th. We also hear that one of the Manning merchant princes has offered ten or twenty thousand dollars to have a short line built from here to Manning. Enter prising, is it not ? We tried a long time to get. a public highway to the county seat, but failed, and we are truly glad to see such a demonstration of public spirit. Irasmuch as we are not yet ready to have the court-house moved here, it will be exceedingly con venient for our citizens hereabouts to have a railroad to attend court. But someone has unkindly suggested that the branch road is to be built in order to hold on to the trade of this section. If that is so I will just say that I am reminded of a little piece of civil en gineering attempted by one of my good friends in this neighborhood. He had a pond that he was anxious to drain into a neighboring creek. But when his ditch was completed, the water, instead of flowing from the pond into the creek, would persist in running from the creek to the pond. See ? And as Manning is the highest place in. this section, I am inclined to think that the~ lawv of gravity wvould assert itself, and things would natur ally flow in tLis dicetion. So let it come. We 'will try to vie with Sumn ter for the Manning trade. Asos. The City of the Sand Hills. FULrox, March 12.--Why -hasn't some other sad eyed genius filled the position of TL'as correspondent dur ing my silence ? I don't want a mon opoly in the correspondence from this place, by any means, nor do I wish to quench the glowing fire of eloquence that burns within the breast of any one, but conjure them to pro mulgatte the thunder of their journa listic aflatus through the columns of the TnIms. Let not the "City of the Sand Hills's" most sententious critic be the bete noir to deter you frotn an exhaustive elucidation of your emo ions. "If he don't write up the news for the paper he ought to make way for some one else," you say ? My re cusancy has given the Editor ample excuse to incontinently fire me if he sees it,. or I'll cheerfully abdicate in any one's favor. Puff any one you please, bretheren,-yourself if you like. The voluptuous writer doesn't "Pff'-except when he insinuates a weed out of a confiding friend. Pardon gentle reader, this my first effort to pun in '88, and I shall not again essay the facetious. Sometimes a man is looking for a "puff," and don't get it ; theu he says the paper is going down hill, and he would stop it if he didn't have to pay his bill first. People expecting Ar gonaut to fritter away his young life in writing apocryphal compiments about them, will anxiously watch throgh the gloaming 'till a late hour, but they will watch in vain. The railroad !-now, perhaps, the diapason of some people's heairts is touched, and will win me their ap proving smiles. Yes, the railroad is here,-a real, out-and-out, genuine, broad gage road graded, embanked, and ready for the track. Like the horrible memory of a terrible dream, your readers will recall how, about a 'year ago, I recounted, in epic prose, the honor and glory and dominion 'forever of this grand enterprise, there fore I will not now paraphrase my eif-'wcre of the irredeemable hitherto. Suffice ht say that Centre ville and Fuiton (especially the for mer) are elated. Every one consid ered their section absolutely the sine qua non for the depot. The com pany have wisely decided u1pon "Pine log" rathier "St. James" as the place for the depot, and, for this purpose, have purchased forty acres of land frorg Mrs. E. L. Griffin to be laid off into gtown lots." What the new Centreville seems too common-place. Why not Baptise'it St. James, Cen treville's patron saint? 'Twould sound classical as well as sacred. I could truthfully predict a great "boom" for the embrio town, but wont, for my prophecies, like Cassan dra's are not credited. Dan Ducello exhibited here on Tuesday night to an audience of about one hundred. His exhibition fell as far short of the advertisement as Dan's personal ap pearance did of the Appolo like por trait displayed over his name. The panorama and pantomime were worth the admission charged ; but the bal ance of the performance, atrocious. The Trxs is quite popular, and its Editor has warm friends at Fulton. Mr Dinkins's withdrawal was genuin ly regretted. He won for himself golden opinions, and under his able management the TiEt was raised to a standard of excellence rarely found in a county journal. His many friends will join my wish and predic. tion that he will attain distinction and eminence in the profession to which he has dedicated his brilliant mind and energies. This isn't f puff, but a patent, demonstrable truth. - ARGON.uT. Sensations in Charleston. CHARLEsTON, March 12.-The young prostrate mother of the little waif spoken of in my last letter, lingered until 9 o'clock Monday morning. The "lightening before death" beamed in her face brighter than the sunsbine of that beautiful day, and when old St. Michael ehimed out nine "the Healer bad come" and the weary sufferer had calmly "passed under the rod" into the arms of Him who had said. "Come up higher; I will give you rest." Suf fering soul! It needed rest. Siren man had plucked the rose from vir tue's ruby cheek; and placed a burn ing blister there ! When the crisis came, cruel writers heralded her sa cred name to a curious public, and thus it was that * "each new day, A gash was added to her wound." And these sympathizing (?) news seekers who inflicted their blows up on the innocent living as well as the unfortunate dead, haa the brazen ef froniery to precede her name with a pitying "poor" before penning it. Not murder ; ,o : but merciless butchery. I wonder if they will let her rest now, or satiate their ravenous appetite on the living innocents who bear her name? How appropriate, with a slight change, what Leartes said at Ophelia's grave. "A minist'ring angel shall this woniin be, While thou liest howling.' The insurance swindle has swelled to larger proportions than was at first dreamed of. The companies have been defrauded of about $25,000, and there is no estimating the number of bodies that have been resurrected and reburied as being men now living. The elder Bond played this game on his own son, a mere youth who had no connection with the transaction. He then forged his wife's name to a receipt for $2,000 insurance, and got the money. There are in jail here now five prisoners awaiting the result of the investigations, namely, J. H. Bond, L. M. Shafer, his son, R. E. L. Shafer, and two negroes. Eva Red mond, the wife of a former member of the Salvation Army, who was at work with her husband in a cotton factory at Greenville, is under arrest at that place and will be brought here to-miorrowv. She telegraphed that she is willing to confess all she knows, and thereby seciure her release, the State using her as its witness. The detec tives have ascertained that Eva Red mond was once a demii monde of Charleston; that the Bonds put her in a house to herself in a respectable part of the city, and used her as be. ing the wife of a sick husband who' was said to have been in a room "up stairs." A body was bought from the keeper of the Potter's Field one night and placed in the room where the sick husband was supposed to have been. The mian was reported dead next morning, ladies invited over to console the bereaved widow, the funeral preached, and the body bu ried. The insurance was paid in due time, and after a division of the booty, Eva Morris left the gang, went to Greenville, married Redmond, and reformed. The physician who would give the certificates of cause of aeath, etc., was Dr. James P. Bond; the clergyman, Dr. Shafer, sonmetimes "Parson Shafer;" pall bearers, young R. E. L. Shafcr and others not yet caught; and the insurance agent, Thomas H. Bond, who "skipped by the light o' the moon." I shall keep this matter before your readers as it progresses. The bust of Hon C. G. Memmin ger was placed in position at the City Council chambei last week, and this morning that great and good South Carolinian breathed his last. His history is too familiar with your read ers, and space is too limited for me to Iattemp)t a narrative; sufficeth it to say he "fought a good fight; he kept the faith" and his memory will die only with history's page. The Court of General Sessions has convened with Jai4ge Pressley on Ithe bench. The *\ of the State vs. I , a popular drummer for the wholesale house of J. C. H. Claus-! se & Co., charged with larceny, was tried. The drummer had been sent ot on a trip, authorized to make collections. When he returned from his trip there wa $378 short, be not having spent a cent of that amount for the use of the house. He . a ar Irested, and tried under the statue Ipassed by the "rag- tag" legidiature of '6, which reads, "any pe.rson coaniit ting a breach of trust with a fraudu lent intention shall be held guilty of larceny." The Judge read the statute to thejury, told themn that he had been studying that for twenty years and was niever able to extract its meaning, and left it for the jury to rendered of not guilty. The face of Clarendion's distinguish ed ex-Senator, Hon. Henry L. Ben bow, was conspicuous on Broad Street a few days ago. He spent a day among his friends of the Charleston bar while here on a mission of mer cy in behalf of a young man of good repute now in the meshes of the law for some trifling indiscretion. SEMIT EHT EuK. Whiskey's Wicked Works. MR. ED-roI.-One of true convic tions cannot but feel grateful after reading in your last week's issue your editorial on The Whiskey Devil. As to your personal sentiments, they are too widely and appreciably known for us to allude to them. But to the Manning TIMEs is extended our warm est congratulations, upon being un dEr the management of one who will kund its columns toward the suppress ing of local vices. We are glad to see you "give vent to your pent up thoughts," when they tend to elimi nate evils, and promote the moral welfare of the public. We "join you in the cause," and take this opportun ity of ventilating our sentiments, which have long beer struggling and smouldering under a pressure of pub lic reconciliation. We agree with you that the whiskey evil is the worst of all curses upon man. It is start ling to the sense of virtue to realize the many infamous habits that are being daily practiced in our own tow I ; the men that are being ruined and sent down to drunkard's graves, and the bright young futures that are being blastel. What a scar up,:n tie society of our county that Man ning, its largest town, and that with less than one thousand inhabitants, should be defiled by the existence of two fuli-fledged barrooms, with all their degrading attachments. How bad it is, that there should be placed so near the daily walks of men an en ticing snare, which when once fallen into, it is almost impossible for one to extricate himself ; that there should be placed so near a man's bands that which eventually deadens his brain, uproots his every power of resolution, weakens his sense of honor, propriety, and honesty, and makes his appetite so irresistible, that for its gratiiicatior, he will pretend going on some legiti mate errand, while he will go through some well known gate, or crack where a board has been ripped off the fence. Yet, "it makes him feel rich." So it does, in many ways. Makes him dis gustingly friendly and polite, so much so that he will laugh heartily without a joke, or make him exultingly confi dent in his own imaginary strength and importance. It bridges all im possibilities, and makes him feel as if he were a lord, while he really is well. And what is its influence upon the youth ? It puts them on the road to worthlessness and shame. It kills the vigor of youth, stimulates those passions which should, in youth, be curbed and cultivated, makes a lad distribute his vitality, ambition, and energy to habits of slovenliness and wrecklessness, and he realizes that ere nature has made him a man, whiskey has made him a wreck. On ly a few days ago the writer chanced to pass the door of a barroom iin which ther-e was music, danczing, and apparent great mirth ; and who was to be seen at the door? About a ha!f dozen boys, under twelve years old, looking in, perfectly enchanted, just ready to enter and take part in the "fun," and thus make the first step on a road to worldly disgrace and shame. Then tell us that the ex istence of whiskey or barrooms, in any community, is calculated to pro mote any cause, other than wicked ness in its vilest form, and we say that society and public opinion are at a low ebb. Imagine the poor unfor tunate when he has imbibed so freely -of the vile stuff that he has exhausted his last cent, and every other means to obtain it, and then hear the won derfully cliuching preventative, '-He can't get another dr-op." Or see him when he has been steeped in its veno mous influence until he is beastly drunk, his mirth and money gone, and his care becomes a burden, then hear the retaliatory, "Why don't you carry him home ? What are you bringing him in my bar- for ?" But, as said before, that once a man falls in to its seductive and enveloping influ ence he is almost irrecoverable, then what is the remedy ? Let an arm of sympathy be lent to the poor unfor tunates, rid ourselves of the now ex isting evil, frown down upon its pro moters as long as they shall advocate its existence, and hope for the day when honesty, morality, and temper ance shall reign supreme. Let the ladies, the young ladies, learn to scorn its use, and let them have a sense of propriety so delicate as to be disgust ed at its toleration on the part of. any man. These are some of the truths that now exist in our own immediate town. Then, fathers, open your eyes to the duty which you owe to y-our sons,. as well as yourselv-es, and your daugh ters will be cared for by kind and loving mothers. Towxsmi. Worth Knowing. Mr. W. H.

The patients have pains about the chest and sides, and sometimes in the back. They feel dull and sleepy; the mouth has a bad taste, especi ally in the morning. A sort of sticky slime collects about the teeth. The appetite is poor.. There is a feeling like a heavy load on the stomach; sometimes a faint, all-gone sensation at the pit of the stomach which food does not satisfy. - The eyes are sunken, the hands and feet become cold and feel clammy. After a while a cough sets in, at first dry, but after a few months it is at tended with a greenish colored expectoration. , The patient feels tired all the while, and sleep does not seem to afford any rest. After a time he be comes nervous, irritableand gloomy, and has evil forebod ings. There is a giddiness, a sort of whirling sensation in the head when rising up suds denly. - The towels become costive ; the skin is dry and hot at times; the blood becomes thick and staznant; the whites of the eyes become tinged with yellow; the kidney secretions becomes scanty and high col ored, depositing a sediment after standi:;. There is fre quently a sitting up of the food, somet:ncs with a sour taste and sometimes with a sweetish taste; this is fre quently attended with palpi tation of the heart and Asth matic symptoms; the vision be comes impaired, with spots be fore the eyes; there is a feel ing of great prostration- and weakness.
