According tc a resolution of the State Board of ed uation these will be the only books of the kind allowed in the public scools of this county for the next five ears. Manning, a Cotton Market. Higher Prices Paid for Cotton in Man ning Than in Any Market in the State. -0 For along time the cry has been going up from Manning, for a cotton buyer, a cotton buyer. It was claim ed that our merchants paid two low prices, and took advantage of the far mers in buying. The Trams has been very active in getting a cotton buyer; and now we are supplied. In this week's issue will be found the cards of -three cash cotton buyers: besides all our merchants buy too. Our mer chants are anxious to keep the buy ers, but they make them pay such prices asthey have been accustomed to pay. Mr. Williams, who repre sents a firm that is buying cotton in five counties in the State, says this is the highest cotton market in the State. Cotton sold here last week, for cash, at even quotations with the Charleston market. Storm and dam aged cotton brought far higher prices here than in any town in the State. It is a mistaken idea, in our judg ment, for the farmers to hold their cotton for better prices. There is a big crop made, and the prices are not at all apt to be much higher than now. There are now three cotton buyers in the market, competing with our merchants, and farmers may rest satisfied in getting tip top prices in this market. Messrs. R S. Dinkins, D. R. Wil liams, Jr., and R. F. Hoyt are the cotton buyers. Scrim, in Colored and Plain, 8o., 10c., 12ke., at F. Levi's. Sumter, S. C. Ladies' Grain Polka, Solid leather, $1.00, at F. Levi's, Sumter, S.

It is a sad commentary on the gratitude f a people to know that the grave of Fran s Marion, in Georgetown county, is in a ilapidated and tumble down condition.

The Comptroller-General, in behalf of the Board of Pensions and for himself, desires to return thanks to the Clerks of Court throughout the State and to the Auditors for their courtesies in attending to the bus iness connected with the Pension Depart ment of this office. With the month of Sep tember, the issuing of warrants will cease, the small balance left will be pro rated to each county and the books of the Pension department closed, until further action be taken by the Legislature at its next sessionz. Jruo. S. VLnwza, Comp-Gen. W. H. MANirniG, Sec. P. B. Robert N. Welch. The announcement of the death of this most estimable gentleman recalls his resi dence in Charleston thirty-five years ago. Our older citizens will remember him, keep ing a gentleman's furnishing store on the northwest corner of Meeting and Market streets, where he conducted a successful bus iness for some years. Mr. Welch came to this city from Baltimore, and by his elegant manners and suave address made many friends here. In the years succeeding the war, as it appears. he remained in Ciaren don countrv, where he had gone when hos tilities begun, and so he had passed out of memory these later years. It is a mournful privilege to record his worth as a citizen, and his merit as one of our most esteemed business men of another generaton.-Charestonl Bud get. Work en Wofford College. [Charleston World.] SPAnANBUno, Sept. 23-Mr. Eugene Tes sier, who took the contract for the six thou sand dollar mess hall of Wofford College, has already commenced work on the foun dation. The repairs on the college building are progressing very rapidly, and will be finished by the first of October. The new slate roof is quite a contrast to the old tin roof, which has been an eyesore to the Sprtanburg people so long. Dr. A. Coke Smith only yesterday said that the prospects for Wofford were never brighter than at present. He thinks he is sure of forty men for the freshman class, and expects to open the fitting school with Ibetween sixty and seventy..five scholars. Law Blauks.

PAsora, Sep. 24.-There is seemingly much unrest as to the probable yield of the cotton crop. There never has been a time in my experience where so many disasters have followed the farming interest of our community in one short year. The severe and prolonged drought ruined the corn crops. The continued rain for days and weeks has chased the hopes cE many. The fleecy staple has an ugly hue for marketing. It is only for a few fleeting days we have had sunshine and then we make the best of it, and pull the coory staple for all its worth. Farmers are very much behind, cotton in the fields and every body, "by jingo." We Panolaites are interesting ourselves on ta toes, peas, and goose sauce, just as happy as a dead pig in the sun shine. We got out of the hot into the cool. All our primaries are over. We thought Clar endon the hottest place in the world, that is for hot sun. Our engineers must run their primaries in the winter some times. Let us get a cool bath alternately with the hot; it will be more in the nature of things, more congenial to the heated feelings of a defeated candidate. Mr. Editor, can you give me light on this all important query: Why does a poor fellow blame his neighbor when beaten for office? Why curse and foam and look so ugly? Some men damn and curse their very shoe strings and be come furiously ill-natured, because they did not follow Dave Tucker's advice. By the way, who is Dave? Give me his where abouts, He has merited plaudits for the last ;piece written. Tom thinks just as Dave thinks, but when will all this proph ecy be fulfilled ? Our thriving little town has lost the rail road; Summerton lost it too, but our ener getic friends are on the fast train. They propose to cut and build a big street one mile long and one hundred yards wide. Then comes the mighty evolution. Sum merton will move to the railroad, or the rail road from the Central coast line, by the un tiring and persistent survey of Capt. Wilson, will move right into Summerton. Then with the fat Major as intendant, our county will never boast of a finer country village. &The Eutawville railroad is progressing rapidly. If it had not been for the bridge disaster, the work could have .been pushed more rapidly. Capt. Wheeler is working a large force of convicts, able bodied, and a healthier set of young criminals we never saw. Capt. Wheeler seems to be a gentle man in every particular, and is well spoken of by the convicts on account of his humane treatmemt. Our young Dr. Briggs has medical charge of this stockade, and has been wonderfully skilful as a practitioner, and is destined to rank high with the pro fession. The trustees for school district No. 2 have employed Mr. Pringle, a University gradu ate, to take charge of the Panola Academy. This graded school will be opened on the 1st of October. Mrs. . H. Mahoney still lingers on the shores of time, an invalid for years. A more patient Christian sufferer we have never known. Blessed faith. 2 Timothy iv., 6, 7, 8. TOJd. 25 doz.

WuLson's, Sep. 10.-The past week has been a moist one, which put a partial in junction on cotton ingathering, the the rain was very much needed for other crops and garden truck. Well the primary is over. Some are elected, and some got left at home to try their luck again two years hence (if living.) Now our nominees are chosen, good men and true, let us see that they be elected in November. We have the following visitor in our sec tion: Miss Corrie Webber at Mrs. J. F. Bradham's. Mr. H. T. Avant does not give us the light of his countenance often. He is open ing up his stock of goods at Jordan. We learn that he has a fine stock. On election day we-inspected Mr. J. A. Sprott's large stock. It is comp~rlete. Jordan seznms to be on a genuine boom. Mr. Editor, please don't let our senator and representatives forget that dog law. By the way, how would it do to give the dog tax to the free schools, and empower the trustees in each district to levy and col lect the tax, and report to school commis sioner. Our trustees are all good honest men, and would make good use of such funds. We have had much law making on this subject but none effective. We would like to get your ideas, Mr. Ed itor, and of your corresponaents. Let the matter be ventilated. You city folks are not so mneh annoyed by vagrant theiving suck egg curs, as we country p'eople are. Information Las reached me of the death of Sip lHaynsworth, col. IL was meo father of Isham Hlaynsworth, who was killed some time ago in Mr. T. Wilson's woods, by a falling limb. 5. A Doctor's Bill Saved. CnAmTAooo., TENN., June 28, 18S8 The Swift Specific Co., Atlanta Ga.: -Gentlemen-In the fall of 1887 a case of blood poison developed on me.
