THE MANNING TIMES. fa~inig, S. c. S. A. NETTLES, Editor. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 9, 1889. Ctl- John G. Blue, a prominent cit izen of Marion County, died at the home of relatives in North Carolina, the night of the 6th instant. The full text of the Primary Elec tion act is published on our first page. It will be rather dangerous hereafter to attempt fraud in such elections. Wouldn't it be better to live hard, drew economially, and buy less on a lies this year, and thus get out of debt, than to get all you can on a lien, come out behind at the close of the year, and continue to be a slave to the merchant who runs you? FAR[EES' AllIANCES. The farmers of Clarendon County are invited by a card in another col umn, to be present next Monday at a meeting in the Court House in Man ming, to learn of the advantages to be gained by joining a Farmers' Alli ance. It is said that these alliances will prove of great benefit to the people. Any way we would suggest that everybody turn out next Monday, and hear what Mr. Pettigrew has to say on the subject. MRS. HARRISON BESIEGED. Beniamin Harrison's wife is in re ceipt of about fifty letters a day from office-seekers. In fact, her corres pondence has become so great that abe has been obliged to obtain the -services.of a private secretary. Miss Florence Miller, daughter of Presi dent-elect Harrison's law partner, has assumed this position. Miss Miller, unlike Elijah Haiford, does not whis tie, but she makes a very good secre tary. She assures Mrs. Harrison's -correspondents that the wife of a President does not occupy a political position. SCIENTIFIC A.ERICAN. 1 father can give his son no better present than a year's subscription to the Scientific American. Many youths having an inventive or ingenious turn of mind have received lasting benefit from carefully reading this most in structive paper. It is written in a "popuait style. Nearly-every number, 'ses its description of new engi seering and mechanical works of magfnitude, has one or more articles -on subjects in experimental science. It is published by the well-known firm -of Munn & Co., of 361 Broadway, N. 'Y., who have been its publishers for more than forty years. Its subscrip tion price of $3.00 a year, or $1.00 for'four months, puts it within the reach of every one. JATE TUCKER. IDave Tuclier who has so often dur ing the past year delighted the read 'era of the Tnrrs with his letters, ranks -among the best humorous writers in this county, and his letters are large ly copied throughout the~ .country. Ee has the happy faculty of blending phylosophical reasoning with his hu morous style, and to those acquainted -with te -facts -connected therewith ~hls letters alford-very great pleasure. ZA1I his letters are based on facts, but -told in such a peculialy pleasant and ludicrous style as to leave the reader -40 infer that it was the work of imagi imation. Dave Tucker is a native of Clarendon, and is a gentleman possess -ed of an excellent education. We had -Ihe pleasure of a pleasant hour's chat with him a few days ago, and he ~promina our readers at an early day ra letter on Florence County. We'll -risk our reputation on the assertion A bat itwllbe good. l!(EW YEAR'S REFLECTIONS. The new year with its many re - sponsibilities is now fairly upon us, and the business man in every field -of labor is scanning closely his busi ness situation, and trying to plan -wisely the conduct of affairs for an -other twelve months. Such a course is qyise, but it sometimes requires -more than ordinary business charac ter, slf-denial, and personal endur 'aneto carry out such plans as will be adopted by many, and which if fully executed would result in great godto the individuals themselves. The experience of each day is worth mch to the observing man, and in the course of a year there is much of great value that all must learn; and it necessarily follows that at the be ginning of each new year there are man resolutions made,'- many new rules introduced, and thus business methods are improved. In this age of rapid progress there are some things, however, the people, the masses, seem to lose sight of, and though greatly to their disadvantage they are slow to amend. One of these, possibly the greatest 'tn the largest number of people in -our country, is the present credit sys 'tem. This system as it is runis a heavy tax upon honest farmers for the maintenance of dishonest farm ers, and it is necessarily so if the merchant is to hold himself safe. But, some one will ask, where is a remedy? This is probably a most difficult ques tion to answer. But there is one way -out of the dilemma, and that is by living on the cash system. There are many who would find this very diffi cult to do, but if it is possible to do so for one year it is possible to do so - for all time-and such a course would bring more prosperity and happiness to the country than all the farmers' An Ass aut on Dave Tucker. To the Edetor of Manning Times Dear Edetor I saw a letter in the Manning times from Dave Tucker on Trial Justices and uncle Dares ups and downs in the Trial Justice business.

"There were several logs on the bed, Enough to have run half the day: But something got wrong with the cylinder head, And then there was - to play. "The 'Boss' took the engine apart, To see what the matter could be; But be swore when he finished and gave her a start, That not a - thing could ie see. "Then his temper got awfully rough, And out came the d's from his throat; And he said, 'In the hole there is water enough To drown Ed. and Teddie's old goat.' "The butting saw caught in a slab, And the backing belt pulled in two; Then wild ly he danced the wild can-can, And cussed till the air was blue "The engine took a case of the thumps; And ran with a jerk and a jar; So we sawed two logs and ran three dumps, And partly loaded a car." . Mn. Enron:-I think anyone who reads the above poetry, which was written by a young man employed in a saw mill in this State, will not fail to see that some people have quite enough to worry them and make them feel mad with themselves and every one else with whom they come in contact. We all know that it is useless to kick against the inevitable; that accidents will happen in the best of well regulated busi nesses; but it seems that the mind for the time loses sight of this fact entirely. Our people' should learn to govern their temper more, as it frequently causes great trouble, and occasionally loss of life. Let us make up our minds to, in all cases, govern ourselves and never let temper get the upper hand. Let this be one of our New Year resolves, and let every one try to keep it. January 1st, 1889. .

BzrmLErE, January 1st, 1889.-We have entered into another year, and we hope that it may be an improvemeuit on the last in all of our moral, religious, and financia! condition at its end. How many promises broken, hopes and ambition blasted, with lives lived in vain are the echoes of the de parting year. .Jiay we so profit by the ex periences of the past, that in the succeed ing year we may reap lasting benefits, and be a better being for so having lived. We are at present having a nice time with our mails from Oakland. The mails are due at Bethlehem postoffice at 6 o'clock r. . on Monday and Friday of each week, and depart at 6 o'clock A.. x. on Tuesday and Saturday. It generally reaches here from 9 to 11 o'clock P. x., and departs from 9 to12 L. x Of course we get the mails promptly and on schedule time by this ar rangement. The contractor is a resident of North Carolina, and don't seem to care whther we get our mails or not. Our post master says he reports to the post office de partment the exact arrival and departure of the mails, but no attention seems to have been paid to it. Our people have been long suffering and patient, hut 'patience has ceased to be a virtue, and we are determin ed if a change is not speedily made to rem edy this outrageous evil, we will petition the Postmaister General toabolish the route or have the mails come ont time. SALEM. A TRUE TONIC. When you don't feel well and hardly know what ails you, give B. B. B. (Botanic Blood Baha) a trial. It is a fine tonic. T. 0. Ciillahan, Charlotte, N. C., writes: "B. B. B. is a fine tonic, and has done me great good." L. W. Thompson, Damascus, Ga., writes: "I believe B. B. B. is the best blood purifi er made. It has ;reatly improved niy gen erd health." An ol!d gentleman writes: "B. B. B. gives new life and new strength. If there is~amything that will make an old man young, it is B. B. B." P. A. Shepherd, Norfolk, Va., August 10th, 1888, writes: "I depend on B. B. B. for the preservation of my health. I have had it in my famiily now nearly two years, and in all that time have not had to have a doc Itor." Thos. Paulk, Alapaha, Ga.. writes: "I suffered tei-ribly from dispepsia. The use of B. B3. B. has made me Seel like a new man. I would not take a thousand dollars for the good it has done me' W. M. Cheshire, Atlanta, Ga., writes: "I had a long spell of typhoid fever, which at last seemed to settle in my right leg, wvhich swelled up enormously. An ulcer then ap peared which discharged a cup full of mat ter a day. I then gave B. B. B. a trial and it cured me." A Card. Seeing the editor of the Enterprise in his last issue, Jan. 3, 188S9, asserts "there is not a Trial Justice within the broad limits of Clarendon," I take this method to inform the people of Clarendon that I am a "Trial Justice," and that my office is open to them at all times. Respectfully. J. J. BRnoO, .or:stn S. . .Tan. 8, 18$89. Fragments From Foreston. FoRESTON, Jan. 8.-The measles still pre vails. There is scarcely a house in town, but has from one to a half dozen cases. Some of the changes of base for the new year are as follows: Mr. C. E. Lifrage who worked last year for Mr. M. Cohen, has ac cepted a position with Messrs. L:n d and Mason. His place at Mr. CoLen's has been filled by Mr. Frank Welch. The post office has been moved into the store of .SIr. W. T. P. Sprott, so that the P. M. can utilize his spare time by keeping the books of the said W. T. P. Sprott. Mr. B. (. Cantey, who has been performing this duty through fall and winter in a very acceptable manner, will return to his farm. Our churches all have the same pastors for this year, and are much pleased. The S. S. and prayer meetings are regularly kept up, and very well attended. Mr. Lesesne's school is daily improving, and would overflow were it not for the afore mentioned "measles." The following officers, to wit: Dr. L. W. Nettles, W. M.; L. M. McRoy. S. W.; J. C. Land, J. W.; C. S. Land, Treas.; C. M. Mason, Sec.; J. J. Bragdon. S. D.; and T. L.

EDIOR MAYEING TnrEs:-The bcautiful, bright, balmy days of the late Christmas holidays were succeeded by clouds and rain. As in the natural world, so in the social, there has been sunshine and clouds. Wl-ile many hearts have been filled with joy and gladness, others have had pain and sorrow. Temptation, sin, financial embar rassment and death, have all had a share inu darkening the pathway of the aged and the young, and the sympathetic heart alternate ly rejoices and mourns with all. Dr. B. M. Palmer, of the Presbyterian hurch, and Dr. Whieord Smith, of the Methodist church, aged ministers of the ospel, have both been bereaved of their ives. while Dr. Jamies P. Boyce, a distin gished minister of the Baptist church, has eparted this life while seeking health in a foreign land.

J. M1. B. Greeleyville, S. C., January 3rd, 1889. HOW TO GAIN FLESH AND STRENGTH. Use after each meal Scott's Emulsion with Hypophosphites. It is as palatable as milk,' and ,easily digested. The rapidity with which delicate people improve with its use is wonderful. Use it and try your weight. As a remedy for Consumption, Throat af fections, and Bronchitis, it is utzqalled. Please read: "I used Scott's Emulsion in a child eight months old wth good results. He gainedI four pounds in a very short time."-Tao. PEI, M. D., Alabama. "I gave Scitt's Emulsion to a gentleman 65 years old, troubled with. Chronic Bron chitis, with the most excellent results."-J. C. C~sos. Broke-n Arrow, Ala. The Emperor William's Health. [From the Lontdon World.) The German papers are full of articles re garding the health of the German Emperor. Dr. Hjennet, the specialist on diseases of the ar, declares that the Emperor's organs of hearing are affected by chronic puirulent otitis with intermittent pains. He states that the aff'ction may lead to mouzingitis. should the aural intliammation spro~d to the cerebndl tissues, or to the formationl of an abscess on the brain. Should an aba;cess form it may be nece'.sary to resort to tre paning, anid if the inIflaimation remains lo cal an operation would probably be succ.as ful. Dr. Henmnet does not take the same view as other German doctors, but consid er "h me's case very serious, though at present, had it assumed its worst aspect, the truth could not be concealed from the public. It is a curious coincidence that, propos of the Emperor's malady, no fewer than twenty-ave articles on otitis have ap peared in Germany. I hear from trust woth sources that'the Emperor is looking ill an'd is alarmed about ummself, having in: 9ted on beirg told the opinion of the .,.rma doctorsregard ing his condition. A Doctor's Bill Saved. CHATrAoOGA, Tenn., June 28, 1888 The Swift, Specific Co., Atlanta, Ga Gentlemen:-In the fall of 1887 t case of blood poison developed or me. It was extremely bad, and the glands about my neck became fear fully enkh rged. A friend who had reaped great benefit from your med icine induced me try S. S. S.

Stealing West Virginia. WAsamnrox, Jan. 6.-Democratic leaders here are excited over the report of a deal made in West Virginia, whereby the Repub licans will control the State legislature. On the face of the returns the Democrats have three in the House. and the Senate con sists of thirteen Republicans, twelve Demo crats and one Labor. The reported deal is that Labor Senator Carr will be elected president of that body by the Republicans, and will vcte with them, giving them two majority there.

Like a thief at night it steals in upon us unawares. The pa tients have pains about the chest and sides, and sometimes in the back. They feel dull and sleepy; the mouth has a had taste, especially 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 clammy. After a while a cough sets in, at first dry, but after a few months it is attend ed with a greenish-colored ex pectoration. The patient feels tired all the while, and sleep does not seem to afford any rest. After a time he becomes nervous, irritable and gloomy, and has evil forebodings. There is a giddiness, a sort of whirl inga ensxtion in tl4 head wen risimg up suddenly. The bow els become costive; the skin is dry and hot at times; the blood becomes thick and stagnant; the whites of the eyes become tinged with yellow; the urine is scanty and high colored, de positing a sediment after stand ing . There is frequently a spjitting up of the food, some times with a sour taste and sometimes with a sweetish taste; this is frequently at tended with palpitation of the heart; the vision becoines im paired, with spots before the eyes; there is a feeling of great prostration and weakness. All of these symptoms are in turn present. It is thought that nearly one-third of our popu lation has this disease in some of its varied forms. It has been found that phy sicians have mistaken the cause of this disease. Some have treated it for a liver complaint, others for kidney disease, etc., etc., but none of these kinds of. treatment have been attended with success; for it is really constipation and dyspepsia. It is also found that Shaker Ex tract of Roots, or Mother Sei gel's Curative Syrup, when properly prepared will remove this disee. mn all its stages. Care must be taken'liowever, to secure the genuine article. IT WILL sELL BETTER THAN -CoTToN. Mr. Johri C. Hemptinstall, of CThulafirmee, Cleburn Co., Ala., writes: "My wife has been so much benefited by~ Shaker Extract of Roots o1 Seigel's Syrup that she says she would rather be without part of her food than without the medicine. It has done her more good than the doctors and all other medicines put together. I would ride twenty miles to get it into the hands of any suf rerer if he can get it in no other way. I believe it will soon sell in this State better than cotton. - TEsTIMONY FROM TEXAS. Mrs. S.E. Barton, of Varner, Ripley Co., Mo., writes that she had been long afflicted with dyspepsia and disease of the urinary organs and was cured by Shaker Extract of Roots. Rev. J. J. McGuire, merchant, of the same place, who sold Mrs. Barton the medicine, says he has sold it for four years and never knew it to fail. sHE WAS ALMOST DEAD I was so low with dysp sia that there was not a phy sician to be found who could do anything with me. I had fluttering of the heart and swimming of the head. One day I reaal your pamphlet called "Life Among the Shiakcers," which described my disease better than I could myself. I tried the Shaker Extract of Roots and kept on with it until to-d'ay I rejoice in good health. Mrs. M. E. Tinsley, Bevier, Muhlenburg Co., Ky.

Real estate is not assessed this year, 1889, and remains at the same valuation it was in 1888, except in cases where parties have bought and sold between the, first day of January, 1888, and the first day of January, 1889. All new structures erceted between the first day of January, 1888, and the first day of January, 1889, are to be returned this year, 1889, for taxation, and those destroyed during that time deducted. Assessors and Tax Payers will please en ter the first given name of the Tax Payer in full, also make a separate return for each Tax Payer for the Township the property is in, and always make the return of real property in the same name it was returned in the year before, unless it has changed ownership, and then in the party's name who owned it on the first of January, 1889. All changes of buying and selling land must be made on the tax payei's return be tween the 1st of January, 1889, and the 20th of February, 1889. After the latter date it will be too late to get the change made for the said year 1889. And another important matter in making or taking re turns is, where the tax payer owns land, to insert the pose ofrice as their place of resi dence, and where they own no real proper tv. to mention tho owner's land that they li-n- a~cww 44pir place of residence which assists the tax payer ais n-nT County Treasurer in making the collk.etion, and saves costs and penalties too. Every male citizen between the ages of twenty.one and fifty years, on the first day of January, 1889, except those incapable of earning a.support from being maimed or from other causes, shall be deemed taxable polls. Tax payers return what they own on the first day of January, 1889. All returns that are made after the twen tieth (lay of February next have to be plac ed on the additional list and fifty per cent. penalty added thereto, unless prevented by sickness during the time of listing, or out of the county at the time, (not knowing the time of listing is no excuse,) and is the reason that the land owner has to get two receipts when they make their return after the' 20th February each year.
