The first annual fruit and floral fair of Marion convenes to-day. The Daily Sun suggests that a postal card with a flap b-: cover the writing. would be a good thing and would meet a popular de mand. It is.authoritatively stated that the Hon. John C. Sheppard, of Edgefield, will not be a candidate for Governor this year, but will formally eifter the race in 1890. Senator Edwards, of Darlington,. declines to run this year. but does not disclose his plans for the future. On lasb Monday in one of the Augusta colored Institutes, 20 pupils were poisoned through mistake by the principal who gave them as a morning tonic morphine for qui nine. The blame has been thrown on the drggst but he assirts that he sold qunine, and suggested that the drug had been sub stituted for morphine by the principal with intention of foul play. The convention has served its purpose and the way it is managed -now has pro duced a profound lethargy among our peo ple. They take little or noimterest in the elections, and consequently take little- intel ligent interest in our system of government. The primary plan would act as an educator of the people by bringing the candidat~ i ~eotac with the masses.-Horru 1Aerald. Another candidate this week.

Univ.ersity will be found in another column. 5,000 "Boodle" eigars and "Bonnie IBlue Flag" cigars for sale at Kalis ky's. The best cigars on the market.

The school is taught by Miss Ingram and Mr. Bagnal, two excllent teachers, and merits the patronage of the community. Let every teacher attend the In stitute next week. Gov. Richardson will be present one day. Manning will exert herself to make the teach ers enjoy themselves in every way. Mr. G. J. Brown has just completed a building on his lot, opposite the Baptist parsonage, and opened a gro cery store. He invites the custom of the public, and will do a good part by them. The Manning Guards returned last Saturday from Greenville. Every body had a delightful time, and voted the encampment a success. We had desired to give a full description of it, but other things crowded it out this week. Miss Eva Archer, a popular young lady, of Anderson, died very suddenly last Saturday of congestion of the brain. She had been out calling the entire morning, seemingly as well as could be wished. After eating her dinner she went out on the piazza to do some sewing and before her moth er could teach her she was dead. Col. H. L. Benbow last week lost a fine cow in a remarkable way. A large essex boar attacked the cow in the pasture, lacerating her head, neck, and shoulders in a terrible manner, so much so that she lived only a short time. The boar had to be driven off with a club. The cow would have calved in less than two months. It is not known what was the cause of the attack, but the boar made short work of it. A new feature which the principals intend adopting in the Academy, and which they hope will be appre ciated b- pupils and act as an incen tive, will be punctuality-a prompt opening, recess, and closing hour, dis pensing with the former plan of "keep ing in" during recess and after school. A strict record :f each pupil's recita tions will be taken, and a weekly report sent to parents and guardians. A roll of honor will be kept and a gold medal awarded to the meritorious pupil. The Academy will open on Monday, September 3, with Mrs. Ella C. Alsbrook and S. A. Nettles as teachers. L 0. G. T. The Grand Lodge of S. C. met at Bam berg Jnly 17 and 18. Mr. Harry Lesesne was to have represented the Manning Lodge but was prevented by sickness. The following offcers were elected: G. C. Temiplar, Rev,1a F. Chrietzberg, Chester; G. C7ounsellor, Joel E. Brunson, Kingstree; G. V. T., Miss Ida Guess, Graham's; G. Sec., W. F. Rhame, Sumter. Rev. H. F. Chrietz berg and W. ., Graham, delegates to the R. W. G. L.; W. F. Rhamne, alternate. The next Grand Lodge meeting will be held in Chester. Hailstonies as large as walnuts fell at Mid way la'ss Wednesday. Rev. H. F. Chrietzberg has gone to Vir ginia for a three weeks' vacation from his charge in Chester. Richard Johnson, a painter, is in jail at Lutaberton, N. C., on a charge of polygamy. He confesses, to the best of his knowledge, having..tifteen wives. A good deal is said about the ability of young wives to cook. The ability of young husbands to provide them with something to cook ought not to be left out of the ques tion. The Winsboro 2Kewe ad Hemald says: The parties have divided the offie's- in George town. By arrangement, the Democrats will get the senator, one representative, sheriff, lerk of court,'and two county c6mmission ers. The Republicans will get one repre sentative, probate judge, school commis sioner, coroner, and one county commis sioner. This is the only county in the State where offces are so divided. Last week near White Plains. at the house of Mr. John Owens, a diffculty arose between Heyward Miller and Mr. Owens's family while at supper, and Mr. 0. remark ed that he thought enough had been said, and at that moment Heyard M1iller jumped up and stabbed him with his knife, and re peated the stabbing until he thought Mr. 0. was dead, and then fled for parts unknown. Mr. Owens is still alive. There is little hopes of his recovery. The sugar trust in the United States ex ists; like all other trusts,' by reason of a high tariff. In the North the six sugar re fineries and the wholesale grocers in the large cities have formed a trust. The ob ject is to put up sugar. They are aiming to get 1 cent per pound more. This repre sents $31,000,000 tax on the sugar consumed each year in the United States. The hydra headed monster, the Trust, will not be stran gled so long as the American people vote for men for offce who favor potection, which is only another name for robbery. They are one and the same thing.--1orning Star. On Thursday night, July 12th, Prof. M. A. Gruber, superintendent and principal of the Marion Graded Schotl, left Marion for the ostensible purpose of attending the State Association of teachers in Columbia. He did n..>t return at the appointed time but his wife received a letter couched in such wild and incoherent language that she was convinced he was insane, and immedi ately left for her former home in Pennsyl vania. Mr. P. A. Wilcox traced him as far as Asheville, N. C., and then lost sight of him. Prof. Gruber went to Marion nearly two years ago to act as a principal of the graded school. He gave general satisfaction and but for this unforstanate occurence would have been retained in his position. Law Blanks.

The wholesale merchants of Charleston are laying in the last of the most tremen dous stock of goods ever brought to this market. Renewed interest is awakened in every branch of business; especially in the mercantile line. There is redoubled de termination on the part of all the business men of the city that Charleston's name and fame as a cotton mark~et and great commer cial center, shall be extended this fall into new fields and fresh pastures. Her water front and connecting railroad lines place her in a position to offer greater induce ments in freight rates than any of her com petitors. Her merchants are not asleep but wide awake to the fact that outside mar kets are making strenuous afforts to curtail her local patronage. By affording a better market for cotton, and selling goods at prices to compare favoraoly with any south ern market-in fact at just the same figures the average merchant has to pay at the door of the western market or northern manu factory-they propose not only to hold the trade of South Carolina, but make competi tion lively for Atlanta, Savannah, Wilming ton, and other competing cities. To the merchants of our State generally, and to those of Clarendon County in par ticular, we would say stick to your home market; purchase your supplies where you will not only save money on the freight, and in the price of your goods. but at the same time be strengthening your credit at home where a merchant's financial standing is always best known. We will publish in our next issue a list of the leading business houses of the city; where, no matter whether it is the prince merchant of your vicinity with his thou sands, or the humble farmer with his few dollars, all are treated alike; served with the same spoon; get the benefit of the same rock bottom prices. '4-0.1I Follin Bros., of Charleston, are partners of the celebrated firm of Lockett, Vaughn & Co., tobacco manufacturers, of Winston, N. C. The most popular brands of tobacco and cigars now on the market come from this factory. Their brand of "Red Meat" tobacco, whose flavor is indicated by the slice of water melon in their advertisement seen on every street corner, never' fails to give satisfaction. Follin Bros. have stored away a tremendous stock in their popular store houses on East Bay ready for the fall trade. We will give our readers a list of their popular brands in our next issue, and merchants and farmers who visit the city to lay in their supplies will find it to their interest to call for those brands and buy their tobacco and cigars where they get the factory prices. Candidates, send your orders to Follin Bros., whose tobacco has a taste and a charm that will bring you more votes than any other. Turnip Seed, all Kinds at Dinkins & Co.'s Drug Store.

She was 53 years old and when taken sick weighed 152 pounds, but at the time of her death: she only weighed 80 pounds. Mr. C. JT. Owens, of Colleton county, lost last week, by fire, his dwelling,' kitchen, store-room,- and smoke house. The family saved nothing except the clothes they had on, and they are without means. Loss Si, 500; no insurance. On August 7th. during encampment week, in Spartanburg, a supper will be given in honor of Hampton, Voorhees, and Butler. One hundred covers will be laid. The fol lowing Wednesday evening at the baseball park will occur a S1,000 pyrotechnical dis play to surpass anything ever seen in this part of the State. The cure for gossip is culture. A well read, well informed community or individ ualbhas too mudh to occupy the mind to spend the time in gossip and odiciousness in private matters. Read and study so as to get prepared to talk on subjects that will give edification ; give nd' encourae ment to curious prying into an individua's private business. Representative Dargan has secured for Mr. Thomas F. Gillespie, Jr., of Blorry County, a position on the wateh force at the treasury. This is a place of high trust and responsibility, and only persons of un doubted character and integrity ever receive the appointment. Mr. Gillespie is a son of Col. Thos. F. Gillespie and a. nephew of Capt. B. S. Beaty, of Horry County. To Ex'pel Mosqnmtoes. Take a piece of gum camphor about one third the size of a hen's egg. and evaporate it by placing it in a thin vessel, and holding it over a lamp, taking care that it does not ignite. The smoke will soon fill the room and expel the mosquitoes which will not re turn as long as the odor remains, even though the windows are left open all night. A WOMIAN'S DISCOVERY. "Another wonderful' discovery has been made and that too by a lady of this county. Disease fastened its clutches upon her and for seven years she withstood its severest tests, but her vital organs were undermind ed and death seemed imminent. For three months she coughed incessantly and could not sleep. She bought of us a bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption and was so much relieved on taking first dose that she slept all night and with one bottle has been miraculously cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz.'- Thus write WV. C. Hamrick & Co., of Shelby, N. C.-Get a free trial bottle at Dinkins & Co.'s Drug Store. THE VERDICT UNANI MOUTS W. D. Sult, Druggist. Bippus, Indiana, testifies: "I can recommend Electric Bitters as the very best remedy. Every bottle sold has given relief in every case. One man took six bottles, and was cured of Riheuma tismn of 10 years' standing" Abraham Hare, druggist, Bellville, Ohio, affrms: "The best selling medicine' I have ever handled in my 10 years experience, is Electric Bitters." Thousands of others have added their testi mony, so that the verdict is unanimous that Electric Bitters do cure all diseases of the Liver. Kidneys, or Blood. Only a half dol lar a bottle at Dinkins & Co's Drag Store. WONDERFUL CURES. W. D. Hoyt & Co., Wholesale and retail Druggists of Rome, Ga., say: We have been seling Dr. King's New Discovery, Electric Bitters, and Bucklen's Arnica Salve for four years. lave never handled remedies that sell as well, or give such universal satisfac tion. There have been some wonderful cures effected by these medicines in this city. Several cases of proinounced Consnmp tion have been eritirely ettred by. use of a few bottles of D'. King's New Dise-bvery, taken in connection with Electric Bitters. We guarantee them- always.- Sold b~y Din Fragments From Forestou. We have had refreshing rains, which have greatly revived everything, so that the reputation of our "city of corn' will be fully sustained. Crops were never better. We anticipate a big time to-day, as all of our candidates (some of whom have already arrived) are expected. We wish them a pleasant visit to Foreston. Will tell you of the speeches next week. Sociables are the order of the day with our young folks. They honored us with a call last evening. We, in order that we might see them enjoy themselves, were kept up to the "wee san' hours" which must account for the dullness of our pres ent letter. A game of base ball will be played this afternoon, at the close of the speeches. Foreston, July 31. F. Fragments from Fereston. Fonzs-rox, July 28.-Dear Times:-Let us give honor to whom honor is due. You will remember in my last, I told you of a church and parsonage recently built by a part of our colored population. On the 22nd the said church was dedicated, and as it was the occasion of the 1st Quarterly Con ference, I attended. The ceremonies were decorously car ried out, and the sermon by Elder Lykes, from the text. "By the help of God we have remained until this day," was very good. Near the conclusion he gave the following statistics: His church was organized about 73 years ago in a blacksmith shop with 15 members. It now ' owns $15,000,000 worth of property, and has 450,000 mem bers, 8,000 preachers. 11 bishops, more class leaders than it can pianage, and by the help of God a church has been organized in For eston. Mr. W. T. P. Sprott, the newly appointed superintendent of the Methodist Sunday school, has entered upon his duties. It is believed he will give perfect satisfaction, and that the school will prosper under his supervision. The health of our town is excellent at this time, not a single case to require the doc tor's attention. Refreshing rains recently have greatly revived crops. We hope if the seasons con tinue so favorable to retain our reputation for corn raising. F. Jordan Notes. JoDANa, S. C., July 27.-I had the pleas ure last week of a visit to Williamsburg. The ride was a very hot one, but the kind hospitality of friends in that county soon made amends for that. Some of the crops in Williamsburg are very fine, while others are very poor. The best cotton I saw belonged to Mr. Willie Tootle, an energetic little farmer near Mt. Hope Swamp. The candidates of Williamsburg are certainly having a nice time atteiding pic nics. We are still needing rain, and the crops are in a deplorable fix. The cotton leaves are drying up very rapidly. The weather is hot and dry with no signs of rain. M. Idalets. IDA, July 28.-31r. FlUor:-July has been giving us some queer weather indeed. First, very hot, then very cool and dry. Everything has suffered for want of rain. Fri day. last was a rainy day. Crops have suffered materially and will in consequence produce small yield, especially corn. Cot ton looks well, but is small; with good sea sons, a fair crop will be realized. Corn as a general thing is past redemption. Far mers have given more than their usual at tention to their crops this year and better and more work has been done. The Wilson and Summerton Railroad is going forward, and: will be - completed in time to move the cotton crop this fall. Mn L. E. Edwards, of the Bishopville R. R., bas contracted to do the work and is hard a it. Candidates are stirring around. Mrs. Avant, mother of Mr. H. T. Avant, is quite sick. Mr. Editor, you ought to have been at Jordan during the week's meeting recently held there. 'The services were interesting. The kindness and -genuine hospitality of the Jordan people could not be surpassed as this scribbler can testify. Its a pleas ure to go among them at any time. Mrs. L. E. Edwards has moved into cur neighborhood temporarily and is quite an acquisition. Mr. H. T. Avant is getting large quanti ties of cross ties, giving employment to over sixty men. Mr. P.~W. Webber has given up the farm and accepted a situation with Mr. flies. Wilson. We miss his presence among us, but wish him much success in his new field of opperation. J. Panola Farmers Seek Information. Paxora, July 28.-Mfr. Editor:-I am a voter. Will you allow me space in your worthy columns to ask a few questions to n aspirant to the legislature, the Hon. James E. Tindal? He declares himself against any aspirant for Governor who un der any circumstances would not accept the Clemson bequest. Ignoring the possibility that there might be a mistake in so doing and suppose there be none, can the Gov ernor do anything but veto, and can any man who might be elected dare do that, knowing it to be the wish of the people to accept it, and if he does veto could it not be made a law over his head ? I do not think that any man filling that highL position of Governor will ever dispute the right and demand of the college, even if the expenses have to be met by the State, at least, that is our present Governor's pcsition. I know not Mr. Plowden's views hut will vouch for.Mr. Tindal's. He placed himself be fore the people two years ago with the prom ise to abolish the lien law and to give us a col ege separate and apart from the S. C. Col lege, but what did he do when the first bill was squarely before the house? He voted against the repeal, and when the college was to be dispose of he went hack up on his sacred promise by accepting the nuisanc~e which will add to the 'burden of taxes. Now I am a square-headed Irish ran, and when I say my horse is seventeen feet high (even though it be a mistake) I propose to stick to it. Let Mr Tindal give us his reasons for not being an Irishman too, when he knew it was right to carry out a promise so considerately made. We did not expect him to do it all by himself, but did not expect a compromise. We far mers deserve an explanation and are now by our next legislators as Sam Jones is by his christians, "'If they are christians be so, and if they are going to the d-l go the whole hog and pocket the tail." 'That is the man we want, men that will do their duty fearlessly and without a compromise. Let us hear from Mr. Tindal. A Boon MAN Bcu DEMocR.VT. Honor to Whom Honor. FonEs'roN, July 17.-Mr. Eduor:-My view through the "Fragments from Foreston," dated July 10th, in which statement B. L. Prince asserts himself as foeman of the board and leader of the enterprise whichrre suted in the building of an A. M. B. church and parsonage in our little town was, I am impressed to say, not true to all intense purpose; for of all concerned, he B. Ir. Prince was among the least concerned, being sims ply a member of said church, and may be has contributed a few dimes-but no efforts put forth whatever except as directed. ISir, it was the achievement to success of Rev. C. F. Brogdon, pastor of that church f ull of thought and lofty enterprise, and acts of a working spirit: one who bore for his device the magnaninous motto ,"'The talent to do good, the only talent worthy the POWDER Absolutely Pure.
