J. ILmailin2 Co. Let Every Guard Go. We are delighted to observe the interest taken by the members of the Manning Guards in the grand Inter-State Encamp ment, to come off next week in Greenville. A great many of our boys are going, but why not every member of the company? The State has appropriated $4 for each man, and there ought not a single member re main at home. The larger the company the more credit it reflects on our town and county, and every parent, wife, and sweet heart too ought to do all in their power to induce the boys to go with their company on this occasion that they may present a solid unbroken front on the field at the en campment. Many associations of differ ent kinds will meet at Greenville on this occasion, and one of the largest congrega tions of people, and especially the militia of the State, will assemble there next week. Besides other considerations the trip will be most delightful, and cheaper than can possibly be taken under any other circum stances ; so turn out, boys, and let every one be in his place at the encampment. Re member your place in ranks cannot be filled by another, and it is a duty you owe Sour State, and especially your county, that you go. The people have pulled $4 out of their pockets to pay your way, and now call on you to go, and you ought to be there. - -Fats and Leans. It is in order for the fats and leans .of this town to play a game of base ball. We suggest the following nines: Fars-Dr. J. G. Dinkins, Dr. S. C. C. Richardson, Louis Loyns, S. Wolkoviskie, Jas. E. Davis, S. A. Rigby, M. Kalisky, B. P. Barron, Dr. H. H. Huggins. Lass-Maj. P. G. Benbow, J. E. Srott, Dr. W. E. Brown, J. F. Rhame, J. G. Hug gins, Jesse Plowden, S. A. Nettles, J. H. Montgomery, Joha S. Wilson. There is plenty of material for another team. After this game we suggest another game, the longs and shorts. None less than six feet to be a long and none more than five feet six inches to be a short, and all to be over twenty-one years of age. Didn't Steal a Thing. While standing at the depot the other day, awaiting the trains that, by the way, meet here now under the new schedule, we espied a gentleman of color on the platform, who seemed to be shied around by all who passed him. Upon observing him a little more closely we at once recognized him as be ing a member of the ball and chain brigade tom the banks of the Congaree. Our accosting him with "Halloo, Trusty," produced a smile that indicated an attempt to swallow both ears at once, but before the performance of the feat his lips flew back to their normal place, and the striped stranger began to relate the pleasures -and vicissi tudes of camp life. He came up in a buggy to meet one of the managers of the Eutaw ville Railroad. "Yes, boss, I is a trustee. No use fer watch dis nigger fer I aint done' nuffin no how, and I guine home Friday." Time up? asked the newspaper man, "Yes, sir; but (and twisting something from behind one of his ears that made him squint his eyes as he pulled it) rs comin' back in er week." Why it will take longer than that to try o. "Oh! I ain't guine teet nuffn no mo, I dun make bargain wid de boss, and he guine far hire me fer drive wagin. Yes, sr Irudder stay jia whar I am, far de boss treatme good, ahid gives me plenty fer eat ad I satisfied. Besides he guine fer pay me $9 a mont too." Why are you in the penitentiary ? "Boss, you mean wat dey put me een dar. fr? Nuf~n, not.a God's ting boss, nuffin." What do they say they put you in for?. "Dey say I sell a gentleman some corn, but a nudder nigger dun dat, warnt me." Where is the other nigger? - - "He right yonder een camp, and bof our time up Friday." I wonder where he got that corn ? "Boss, most time fer de train now ainte." Yes, but the corn ? "Well boss, six niggers'swore I gee him e corn fer sell, but day ebery one liars." Don't it make you feel cheap to be seen in stripes ? ."No, sir; de niggers know I'se all right. m a 'trustee,' and as fer de clothes dey bet tr now den some ov dese wat out." Just then the train rolled up, and cut our conversation off. The convict is James Walker, Orangeburg County. Quite a crowd had assembled arhund him, and will agree that in some cases at least Judge Al drich was rnght when he'said, "The way to reach a nigger's conscien'fe is through his hide," and this is one of such instances. A Convincing Argument. Dr. VinCent says that ha never denounces people for playing at cards, dancing and theatre-going, because they are not abso lutely, but relatively wrong. But he leaves the adoption of these amusements to the judgement of the young people in this way: 'I draw a picture of Rev. Dr. John Hall, Bishop Mathew Simpson and D. L.. Moody sitting down together and' shurffiing cards for an evening, dancing ,theftrselves red. with half-dressed woman, or going to the theatre. They always seeni shocked at the mere mention of such conduct by such Christians. But I ask them if they don't want as good place in heaven as a bishop shall have. And then I tell thenm that if they can approve of these amusements in church leaders, then of course they-may ask the leaders to approve the same in them; otherwise, not." It is a good puttizig of the issue. The Columbia correspondent of the New York Sun, writes that psper as follows: "Ben Tillman, the agitator, is ma3~ing pol itics lively in this State, and the campaign will probably be more spirited than' an' m ten years. B. R. Tillman is a- brother of Congressman George Tillman,'and as the Congressman raves against the National Admnistration, so Ben attacks the State Government only he is more daring and makes more rash charges.' He heads the Farmers' movement, or "Reform, party," in this State, and they will fight'for the Gov ernor and Lieutenant-Governdr's offices. Tilman will stump the State againtt the preset Administration. He charges, that negr'o lunatics are worke&^ in the eaylumn like slaves, and that they are never turned outwhen cured. He also chstges that the Governent spent last year a gearter of a million 'in a wasteful and 'extava gnt man nex It is believed that Tillman is work in for the negro vote. His brother will be defeated for Congress this .fall on account o' hisriews on the tariff. It is possible that he may run for Governor on the fax mers' ticket." -e . Politics will be lively for the next four weeks, and then The advertisement of the Manning Academy appears in this week's pa per. The Manning Guard will have their annual reunion next Saturday in this town. Corn crops in some parts of the county are almost a failure. It is said that near Panola, it has not rain ed for seven weeks. In addition to fine corn; Dr. Rich ardson has eqially as fine fruit. The editor of this paper will testify to both assertions. The Northwestern Mutual Fire In sd rance Company, of Dakota, is re ported to have failed. Maj. P. G. Benbow was the local agent at this place. All persons interested in the or ganization of a building and loan as sociation are requested to meet in the court house to-morrow (Thurs day) afternoon, at 5o'clock. Candidates seenft be profiting by "Aunt Jerusha's" suggestions. There appears to be a disposition to attend all the picnics, church meetings, etc., and not to do so much personal can vassing. It is a good change. Building and loan associatidns al *ays benefit towns in which they are located, and they are a wonderful as sistance to the man of moderate means, in securing a home of his own by paying a small sum monthly. It is quite a novel thing to sleep under quilts the middle of July, but such has been the case with us in Manning for nearly a week. This cold yave has been general, and it is still cool, but look out for hot weather by next Stmday. Manning can boast of some very fine corn. Dr. S. C. C. Richardson has a very fine field, that will proba bly yield fifty bushels to the acre, and Mr. John Thames is said to have some bottom corn that will yield seventy-five bushels to the acre. Mrs. J. M. Spani, of Sumter, died Monday, July 9th. Mrs. Spann was about twenty-five years of age, and leaves a husband and three little chil dren. Mr. and Mrs. F. N. Wilson, of this place, have taken the youngest child to their home. Mrs. Spann was a niece of Mrs. Wilson. Dr. A. Coke Smith made a very in teresting address last Saturday at Jordan. Several parties from Man ning attended, and all were delighted with the address. A collection for repairs on Wofford College was taken, and about $85 realized. He preach ed at Jordan Sund.y morning, and at Wilson's-Mill Sunday night. Changes in the railroad schedule were made last Sunday. New sched ules will appear in the TImes next week. Only slight changes have been made in the south bound trains, these trains getting here a few minutes earlier; but both north bound trains get here earlier. All passenger trains meet at Manning now in the morn ing about 8.40, and in the afternoon about 7 o'clock. The Manning base ball nine left Manning Tuesday, July 10th, to play a match game with the Wee Ness, of Kingstree. One game was com menced Tuesday afternoon, but after the Mannings had played five innings, and the Wee Nees had begun their fifth, a rain stopped the game, the scre standing 18 to 7 in favor of Manning The next morning anoth er game wasplayd the score stand ing 28 to 19 in favor of the Wee Nees. The'Manning boys say the ground was~ so wet they could not p'ni7 Tht afternoon, a third game was played, all circumstances being favor able, and was won by the Manning boys by a score of 40 to 10. .Our boys played well in Kingstree, and Mr. Walter Eichelberger espe cially is complimented for is fine pitching. All were delighted with the hospitalities shown them. It is expected that the Wee Nees will visit Manning at an early day, to renew the games. Turnip Seed,. all Einds at Dinmia & Co.'s Drug Store.

DEEP CE x, July 17th.-Mr. Ed ior:It certainly may seem strange to some tatlshould ask such ques tions asIami about to ask now, at this season of the year, but as I have heard much and read more about the excellent corn made by Capt. . R. Rudgins, of Foreston, but latterly bete. terknown~ a."the village of corn", I tink that, in the interest of the far m4s generally, the Captain should beprevailed upon toe give the mo duis o'perandi by which he arrives at such satisfactory resulta in his plant It-is a well known fact that, while most farmers understand how to cul tivate a crop, very few know h6w to plant it properly. The Captain how ever, :so I am informed, wa able last year, to sell the large surplus of his crop at the remfarkably low price of fity cents per bushel, and realize a handsmie profit. I am told that this year's crop is far su'erior to that of last ye-ar, and if such be the case the generous Cap tai can doubtless dispose of it to his .less fortunate neighbors at, perhaps, thirty cents per bushel, or less. The "Corn Committei" estimated his yield of corn at onehwndrcd bush els per acre, and my neighbors and self are anxious to lifow .the Cap tain's planting secr~et. Will he rise and explain? - CrRKER. setr WA.Redding, of (buba, to makwj pictues bygg new and svpenior process. .He #wor is recogmed as among -the very best in tft eState.. . SS~pona ticletsi f~r 'salei a Tins fice Notes from Panola. PAsoza, July 1.-A bright day dawned on the 12th. Panola put on her regalia early in the morning, and wore it with hon or and pride throughuut the day. Prepara tions were made by her citizens to give the Santee base ball team, of Orangeburg, a grand reception. The game was looked for with much anxiety. We felt that the ar rangement demanded all of our energies, not only to meet the occasion as a common occurence, but as one which would give life and pleasure to the visitors. A large con course of people assembled to witness the game. The dinner prepared by the Panola club exhibited a feast of fat things. How could it be otherwise, for we all know to succeed is to enlist Capt. D. W. Brailsford, for, where he reigns at the table no ques tion need be asked for every mouth will be filled. Our boys were snowed under, not withstanding they took their defeat with the greatest enthusiasm. Every thing look ed to enhance the pleasure of the visitors. Every body was pleased, -and time passed away as merry as a marriage bell. The candidates wee-out in' numbers- 15 in all. They stood in the front rank with the good people. The political horizon looks as if the fog is clearing away. The canvass is really ope'ned,-while each one is interested for himself> We are always pleased that they should-come among us. There is nothing like fansiidrity. The Junior Panolas played the Packsville club on the 13th. They met the same sad defeat that the older boys met the day be fore. TOM. Mr. Tindal Interrogated. M&NxING, S. C., July, 17th, 1888.-Ms. Erron:-I desire space in your paper to correct a false impression made on the minds of the farmers who heard Hon. J. E. Tindal discuss the Clemson Bequest, on the 7th inst., in the court house. In showing why the agriculture- feature of the S. C. College.should be taken away and made an institution to itself, Mr. Tindal made the assertion that the sons of farmers in the S. C. College were considered and looked upon by the professors and the other stu dents, as an inferio#-elass of boys. . Now, right here 1 wou1d ask Mr. Tindal where he got this most wonderful stock of information. Most certainly not from ob servation ; for he has been repeatedly and cordially invited to visit the College, and make a personal inspection of the agricul ture and mechanic feature, but I am satis fied that he did not' visit the institution twice ; nay, once? . If he make this statement upon informa tion, why did he not give his informant? It would have been so easy to have done so. It would- have relieved his audience of . the -belief that it originatedwith him. I do not pretend to know how. long Mr. Tindal or his informant stayed.in the S. C. College, but I do know that I spent two long years there, and positively know that every boy or man in that college stands upon his merit, and merit alone ! It is most positively true. that no man labors under a more false impression than he who asserts.that-the farmers' sons of the S. C. College are looked down upon by the other members of that institution, because 'they are sons of farmerse I know whereof I speak, and the exist'ing state of affairs will bear me out. The following letfor will also corroberate what I have stated.'.It is froma young man who graduated in the Agricultural course in 1886. -- Brsuovnta,:S. C;., Julfyd2, '88. -'DmnSm:-In answer to yours of the 9th inst., I without hesitation state the follow IFarmers' sons attending College dur ing my stay, were not inferior as a class. .II. They were nottooked down'-n - by either the professors-pr students. IHI. Their social sfanding was as good. as that of any class of boys in College. In conclusion, miany of the boys, who were most brilliant in the class room and most prominent in abcieties, were sons of farmers. Your friend, JA tRR 3. SCARBOROUGH. The above letter i.fwritten by the son of a farmer, and a bo~y that attended the Col lege. Is it in accord'with what Mr. Tindal aims? We would suggest, as a voter, that Mr. Tindal load his-political gun with more &aatable facts in the: future, that he may the better bag the whole covey. We have heard him express himsclf in fa vor of the S. C. College and the Clemson gift, now wewould ask him to give us his views as to the Citadel Academy. Does he tink as Mr. Tilman: ."It is a dude factory.' Has Mr. Tindal's views for the last four years been what they now are in reference to the Citadel? Wea-e voters, and as such claim the right to ihve the views of all can didates apo~n these~questions. Respectfully, FARMER'S SON. How Drunkiuds are Made. The proprnetor-of "a ihigh toned' drinking saloon in New York signed the pledge and closed his dram-shop... On learning that a company of lads had organized themselves into a temperance sosiety, he went to them and gave some of' his experience as a rum seller. 'I sold liquor," taid .he,- 'eleven years-long enuough for mg to see the begin ning and end of its effect-s. I have seen a man take his fii-st glass in my place, and afterward find the grave of .a. suicide. I have seen man after man, wealthy and edu cated, come into my'saloon v/ho ecunot now buy his dinner. I recell twenty cusiomers, worh from one to 'five "thoiisand' dollar., who are now -without money, ils~ce or friends.' He warned the boys about enter ing saloons on any pretext. He said that he had seen a young fellow, a member of a temperance society, come in with a frien-t, and wait; while he drank. 'so, no,' he would say, when asked to drink, 'I never touch it. Thanks, all the same.' Present ly, rather than bechurlish, he would take a glas of cider or harmless lemonade. 'The lemonade was' nothing;' said the rum-seller, but I knew how it would end.' The only safety, boys, .for any one, no ~piatter how 'strong his resolutions, is outside the door of the saloon.' - Blundering by Congress. . {Philadelphia Inquirer, If,4publican, July 6.) It is miserable blundering and careless nessthat passes such pension bills as that vetoed yesterday by President Cleveland. If tho'facts as given are c.rect. the woman for whom-the pension, was, intended is a fraud,)aving once drawn a'pension as the widow of a soldier actually living'and draw ing a'pension-himself. -The fact.that she is a drunken, disreputable charaeter might not alonse be sufficient to justify aveto, but a person who has defrauded 'the Govern. ment should forfeit' the right to .a pension if he originally had it. .It is a hard com meta-y 'rpo# the Demociratic Aguse and 'Republican Senate that such a bill-could be TRIBUTE OF RESPECT By the Board of Regents of the Asylum to the Memory of Dr. J. I. Ingram. OFFICE OF Sor CAnoLInA LUNATIC ASYLUM. COLUMBIA, S. C., July 12, 1888. God, in his all-wise providence, having removed from us by death Dr. John I. Ingram, of Clalendon County, S. C., a val ued member of this Board, we desire to place on record our estimate of his worth, and our sense of the great loss we have sus tained. Through the whole course of his service here he ever exhibited himself as the faith ful officer, the judicious counsellor, the sympathizing physician, the polished and courteous gentleman. As a wise and patri otic citizen, ever alive to the best interests of his State and county, he enjoyed through a long lite the entire confidence of his com munity, and exerted an influence for good seldom equaled. Therefore, Be it resolved, 1st. That in his death we have lost a true friend, this Board an - effi cient and conscientious officer, the State a pure and patriotic citizen, the church a modest and consistent member. 2d. That while we mourn his loss, we would emulate his virtues and point to his record of a well spent life as worthy of im itation. 3d. That these resolutions be spread on our minrtes, and a copy of the same be sent to his family, with assurances of our heart felt sympathy in their sad bereavement. A. WmTE, B. W. TAmoz, P. E. Gan=z.

No matter how deeply in love you may fancy yourselves to be do not marry a man who drinks intoxicating liquor. It is better to be an old maid, and miss the desired Mrs. from your tombstone. It is better to go through life single and ainne, to keep a cat, and to make aprons for the heathen children than to be a drunkard's wife. Young men addicted to taking a glass now and,then will doubtless laugh at you, if you cell their habit a vice, or hint that it is any wise dangerous. They assure you in a lordly way that they know what they are about ! They wonder what you take them for ! Haven't they control enough over themselves to take a social glass, now and then, and stop there? Why, you talk as though they were common drunkards ! And so they are liable to become. There is no safety in playing with poison. He who. touches pitch must be defiled. The first glass iakes room for the second. The appetite for strong drink grows with what it is fed upon. The man who drinks a glass of brandy, or whiskey to-day, will want another to-morrow. If he is not strong enough to abstain from the first glass, how is he to put away the second. Young woman, beware of him ! Shun him as you would one infected with the plague ! Oh, young girls, fair and pure and lov ing,'think of what lies, before you ! Think of the moral contamination, the miserable degredation which hang arounsl the drunk ard, and forswear the young man who drinks! . Smile no more ipon.the deadly sin of wine-drinking? Scorti it i .Neves give its practice your sanction in ever so remote a degree. Oh, that the women would - turn their faces, as one woman, eternally from the man who drinks!- Oh, that the. mothers would. close the doors of their houses, against the wine-drinking young nian as against the leper. and let society under stand that no embryo drunkard will be re ceived as honored and respected into Its ranks. Call us radical, or fanatical, if you will it matters not ; we are bound to the belief, born with us, that no man is safe who takes the first glass of liquor ! For if he takes the first glass he may want the second, but if he never takes the first he cannot take the second ! . Again we say to you, young girls, beware! No matter how handsome, or fascinating, or wealthy a man man may be-if he drinks, turn away from him, and save your self from becoming the most miserable of all women-a drunkard's wife.-Kate Thorne. A Glaring Error. A newspaper is a public educator; and, as such, the greatest care should be taken. in giving only correct 'statements of great indisputable historical facts, for neither the intelligence nor, unfortunately; the stupid. ity of one's constituents can be overrated, and-it would be difficult for an editor to write anything too preposterous for the credibility of some readers. So much for preface to the following remarkable com ments of the Hampton County tews-Herald on the Fourth of July : This day is the once "glorious" Fourth. On this day, more than one hundred years ago, this nation, then in its infancy, assem bled in Congress and adopted the "Declar ation of Independence." From this Colum bia's ensign was raised, and the United States of America took their place proudly among earth's nations. For - more than four-score yea's this day was hailed with pleasure and rejoicing : the beat of drums, the booming of cannon, the joyous shout and loud hurrah throughout the length and breadth of this great land prcamed its dawning and marked it as a ato's holi day. This is not true. The nation was never born until Lee's surrender.at Appomattor Court House, Virginia, despite all the rhet oric 2ndspecious pleading of the Websters, Storys and Motleys of the North, and it is criminal ignorance in any Southern man of intelligence to announce the contrary. Congreasmaha Dibble, in his eloquent ad. dress before the Citadel cadets on the fourth of Iuly,' give its true significance as "the birthday not of Federal, but of states rights -the day whblt the colonies asserted to the word the rigBt of local self-government. On that glorioul' day, in 1776, the states declared their soyereignty,' and it was' vin dicafed by arms in a bfoody war."-Chaarles to World.
