Don't forget to vote next Tuesday. There is not a prisoner in the jail. A lot of liquor was drunk in town Mon eAy and yesterday. The public schools, by notice elsewhere, will open next Monday. The Knights of Pythias will have a meet ing to-morrow (Thursday) evening. Another dividend of 18 per cent. has been declared in favor of the creditors of the de funct Sumter bank, making in all 80 per cent. in claims proved. Fresh lot of fine family groceries, espec ially four, just received, and offered at the lowest cash prices, at M. Kalisky's. Mr. C. R. Harvin is moving his saw mill to town, near Mr. W. Scott Harvin's mill. A tram road running out some six or seven miles will furnish lumber for the mill. At a church conference held in Oak Grove Methodist church last Sunday. Mr. Mike J. Blackwell was recommended to the quar terly conference of the Oakland circuit, as a suitable person to receive license to preach. Tho ladies of the Dudley Baptist church, at Harvins, will have an entertainment and oyster supper at their church next Saturday eveng, Nov.3rd, doors opening at 7.30 o'clock. An invitation is extended to all, to attend the entertainment. The sealed sentence of the 15st court at Sumter against P. G. Bowman for assault and battery with intent to kill was one year in the penitentiary or $500 fine. The fine was paid by his wife. It is said Mr. Bow man is quite sick in Alabama, caused by a severe hemorrhage. Mr. D. M. Bradham has been very unfor tunate with his stock. Not long ago he had a fine mule killed by being snagged in the woods; later another mule died of the colic; and last Thursday morning he found, when he went to his stable, his finest horse dead in the stall. He can assign no reason for the death of this last horse. These losses are heavy on Mr. Bradham. Politics is getting pretty warm all over the country. Even the foreign delegations are feeling its warmth. Lord Sackville, British minister at Washington, has got mixed up in the matter, and in conseqience he will lose his position, and be recalled. It is rumored that Sir Charles Tupper will be appointed in his stead. A number of the students of the Manning Academy formed themselves into a reading club last Monday, each one pledging biu self to read each day during the remainder of the present year at least five paes of history or biography. Mr. Ed Mc lellan was elected president of the club; Mr. Ash by McFaddin, vice president; and Miss Tillie Wolkoviskie, secretary. Several of our Summerton subscriber complain to us that it is very diffcult to get their mail from that office. It opens at 10 o'clock, and closes at 3 o'clock. Th'is, in our judgment, is a very poor arrangement, and we respectfully suggest to the post offce departmient that from 8 to 6, with one or two hours' noon, would be better hours. Summerton is an important post offce, and ought to be more accommodating. We have bad numerous complaints of late about not getting the TioEs on time, and some complaints about not getting it at all. Although Foreston is distant only nine miles. yet for the last three weeks there has been a delay of from fourteen to forty-eight hours, last week the paper reaching that place forty-eight hours late. The fault is not in the Tnous office, or in the Manning post office. In this last case, it was the fanit of the railroad mail agent. The matte has been reported to Washkng ton, and it is -hoped there will-be a change. Our subscribers will confer a fa~vor by propl ntyigus of any failure to get Pie Peaches, in gallon cans, at M. Le vis, for 50 cents a can. Self seaing fruit jars, for sale by M. Le vi, at 10 cents up. - TheTwo Shows. Teuulquiet of our streets was en livened Monday afternoon by the appear anee of three Turks(e) with tw large per forming bears. The bears would dance, and march. and turn summiersaults, and wrestle, and box, and climb high trees,-all of which afobrded great amusement to the bystanders, and yielded a very fair reve nue to the shiowmen. While trhe bear show was in full blast a gang of convicts marched up, and stopped near by. These convicts were chained together, and were regarded with almost as much curiosity as we~re the bears. They were on their way back to the penitentiary, and had been at work on the new railroad, near Panola. The gradirg of that road is nearly done, and it will not be many months befora trains will be run ning. ______ __ A Good Cotton Market. Manning is one of the best cotton mar kets in the State, and the people are fast finding it out. Cotton from other coun ties are brought to this market, and one day last week we saw three wagons loaded with cotton from Williamsburg. We were shown, a few days ago, the sa'les of three bales of cotton shipped to Charleston by a farmer of this county, because he thought the price offered him here was not enough. He got in Charleston one cent a pound less than offered him here, and the three bales lost 114 pounds in weight, the farmer real izing just $38.08 less on his cotton than if he had sold in Manning. Another farmer tells us that he shippe two bales to Charles ton, and got less than a cent there than offered in this place, and besides lost 145 pounds on the two bales. In all he got $31.86 less by shipping his two bales to Charleston tban if he had sold in this place. LADIES Will find relief from their Costiveness, Swimming in the Head.

Conyers, of Foreston, died last Sunday morning, and was buried the fol lowing day, at the Foreston cemetery. with Masonic honors. He had been sick for about a month, and during that time suffer ed a great deal. Capt. Conyers was a na tive of this county, and about fifty-seven years or age. He was a brave officer in the Confederate war, commanding, we think, a Florida company. He was a genial whole-souled man, a favorite in every circle. Court. The court of common pleas remained in session till Saturday afternoon. The fol lowing were the most important cases dis posed of: Wash T.

The little paragraph published sometime ago relative to the sad and neglected condi tion of General Marion's grave has gone forth far and wide, and may yet result in building a monument to his memory. The following letter has the right ring in it. The sentiment is beautiful. We well re member how as a boy we loved to hear of the brave and daring deeds of these Revo lutionary heroes, and it would be a happy action for the boys and girls all over the United States, by means of their dimes and nickles, to erect a stately statue to his mem orv. We wish Mr. Loomis success in his effort. We think we can safely assert that there would be no objection to any such movement. WEu.s ScuooI, Chicago, Oct. 22, 1888. Editor Mixso Trams, Manning, S. C. Mr DLA SIB:-Recently I saw a short ar ticle in a newspaper concerning the grave of Gen. Francis Marion. I saw the article was credited to the M3ssiso Tins. The article to which I refer stated, if I remem ber correctly, that no stone at the present time, marked his grave. I believe there was no officer of the Revo lution whose life and public services appeal so strongly to the heart of the average Amer ican boy as the life and services of General Marion. Will you have the kindness to write me just the condition of his grave? I want to bring the matter before the children of Chi cago, and if a monument is needed I would like to see one erected by the children. I may fail in getting the necessary per mission to do this, but I hope not. As a starting point I want to know all about the condition of the grave, and if I fail it will not be my fault I assure you. Very respectfully, J. H. LOOMIS. Cor.

Burgess has resigned the pastoral charge of Ebenezer Church, Charles ton, in consequence of the severe criti cisms upon his vote in Presbytery, by a number of its prominent memb~ers. This is a mistake, as you will see by the inclosed letter to the offcers and members of his church. Not an officer of his church signed the protest. Please do him the justice to publish the enclosed letter rerbatim in connection with this note in your next issue, and oblige, yours, &c. B. To the Offiers and Members of the Eben ezer Presbyterian Church-Dear Bretheren: You all are doubtless aware of the criticisms made.by Mr. A. R. Stillman, and others, upon the recent action of Charleston Pres bytery in regard to the adjudication of Dr. Woodrow's case by the General Assembly. Said criticisms took the form of a letter ad dressed to the Rev. J. Rt. Dow, stated clerk of the Presbytery, and was forwarded to him during the sessions of Synod at Green wood, S. C. Said letter was also simul taneously published in the Ketos and Coutr As I was an humble member of Charleston Presbytery, and as I acted conscientiously, and as I h'ave not yet repented of my part in theobjectionabie action, I now tender you my resignation as pastor of this church. I do so because those who signed the let ter above referred to compose a majority_ of the board of city missions, which sustains this work. Acting upon er. parte state ments, they have condemned me in my absene, and without a hearing, and have attributed to me views which I not only re pudiate, but which are abhorrent to every loal Presbyterian. I feel happy that none of my own officers sgned the letter referred to. With sincere sorrow that the ties which have bound us so pleasantly together should be so rudely broken, "I commend you to God and the~Word of His grace," and hope that, you will unite with me in request ing Charleston Presbytery at as early a day as possible to dissolve the pastoral relation existing between us.
