THE MANNING TIMES. Maii301rg, g. C. S. A. NETTLES, Editor. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 16, 1889. Smalls, as is known, is contesting the seat of Col. Elliott in congress. The contest comes off to-morrow, and it is feared that Col. Elliott will lose his seat. There must be a lot of whiskey drunk in Chester. The drug stores in that town have for some time past bad, it is claimed, a monopoly of the business, but by. an act of the Legis lature all drug stores in that town that sell whiskey must hereafter take out a license, the fee for which is to be about $600. It is said that eight barrooms wlI be opened. The Republican corpse is beginning o wiggle again, and State Chairman E. M. Brayton is preparing for pub lication an address, in which he at tacks the State election laws, and the general administration of State laws. A copy of this address will be sent to President-elect Harrison, and every thing possible will be done to upset Democratic predominance in South Carolina, and to reinstate Radical rule. But Democracy will remain in force in South Carolina nevertheless and notwithstanding. Belford's Magazine for January is one of the best numbers yet publish ed.

Ambition, if carried too far, becomes a misfortune and excludes contentment ard enjoy ient. The causes that bring discon tent are so numerous that this feel lng seems to have become a part of our natures; and in our depravity, exen though faring well, we are apt to imagine those in other fields of labor have an easier and a better lot nlife. This should not be so. The battle of life is a hard one, if cheer fuly fought,- and when under such depresin ifluences as these, it is Of course there are many things to discourage us in any business, and farming probably has its objectionable features, but it also has its attrac tions, andtfor those who live for what there is in lif, thpre is no business that affords more contentment and happiness than farming. S 'gwould be but gloomy eifwe had nothing else but spring," and oui' farmers would be come even more careless of their in teresta than at present, if it was al ways seemingly easy sailing. Great manse for discontent must sometimes come to them if they are to be thor oughly aroused to their interests. Whether the cause is great or not we wilnot attempt to say. But the recent action of our Clarendon farm ers is attempting to organize a County Farmers' Alliance would indicate that *there is atleast a desire to do some thing to better their condition. "Be itever so humble there is no place like home" is a sentiment dear to ev ery true Southern heart, one that will hold good as long as time lasts-and when our farmers find their condition growing gradually worse-in fact al ready but little better than that of the squalid peasants who live in over crowded countries where the rich - and powerful hold lordly and domi ueering sway over the lower classes, it is burt natural that they should be gin to cast about for a remedy. But, as this is an off year, there will hardly be as much interest manifested in thiebehalif on thepart of the politico farmera among us as would have ~been had it been on election year, nevertheless, we shall watch with in terest the organization of the Farm ers' Alliance, and any other steps that may be taken for the benefit of the agrcultural class of our citizens. Coord ee-~olders. Northern and Western papers of the re pblican tyeare requested to take notice thta colored man, Mr. Ingliss, has been appoind jrycmmissioner for Charles ton county. He has been in office for a number of years. His predecessor,. air. Holloway, was likewise a colored man and was a ppointed, we believe, by Governor Wade Hampton. The action which has been taken by the Governor was, therefore,. not intended to affect Gen. Harrison's Southern policy or to carry favor with anybody. Apropos. of col ored men, it should be remarked that there is a considerable number of colored police men in Charleston, and this has been the case for many years.--era and Coarier. The new year opens with reasonable promise of industrnal prosperity, and the angry temper and violence o5 labor strikes sbould not be allowed to lessen the reward of Istor. Strikes are sometimes a necessity, and when reasonable demands are refused after exhaustive efforts for adjustment. they are justifiable; but, as a rule, they are dis astrous to both labor and capital.. and es pecially disastrous to labor. One year with out labor strikes would do more for the mutual prosperity of both employers and employed than could be attained by any other methods, and surely, with snech great interests involved1 affecting both labor and Charleston Merchants. The merchants of Clarendon will do well to call on F. W. Wagner & Co. when they visit the "citv." We had occasion to call in their mammoth establishment last week on business, and was surprised to see how cheap they were selling to the country merchants. They carry a tremendous stock and deal with merchants strictly. Messrs. Seckendorf & Middleton, cotton factors and naval stores dealers of Charles ton, are making liberal advances of money and supplies on contracts for shipments of cotton. Of course these are business men and require good security, but when that is given they will advance liberally and charge nothing but the legal rate of interest on their money. The farmer or merchant who wants to save money and can give the proper security will find it to his advantage to communicate with Messrs. Seekendorf & Middleton, No. 1 Central Wharf, Charleston, S.

MeSold by Druggists, 75 cents. A Sensational Charge. WAsursGToN, Jan. 13.--Secretary Fair child left for New York to-night to make a personal investigation into the charges pre ferred by Appraiser Stearns that the gov ernment had been swindled out of $1,000, 000 through the false appraisment of Su matra tobacco. He declined to be inter viewed on the subject. A TRUE TONIC. When you don't feel well and hardly know what ails you, give B. B. B. (Botanic Blood Balm) a trial. It is a fine tonic. T. 0. Callahan, 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 greatly improved my gen eral health." An old gentleman writes: "B. B. B. gives new life and new strength. If there is anything that will make an old man young, it is B. B. B." P. A. Shepherd, Norfolk, Va., August 10th, 18&9, writes: "I depend on B. B. B. for the preservation of my health. I have had it in my family now nearly two years, and in all that time have not had to have a doc tor." Thos. .aulk, Alapaha, Ga.. writes: "I suffered terribly from dispepsia. The use of B. B. B. has made me feel 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, which 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." Taking The Tax Off Tobacco. WAsnINGON~, January 14.-Representa tive Cowles, of North Carolina, created quite a flutter in the House to-day by introducing a bill providing for the repeal of the tobac co tax, and demanding that it be referred to the committee on appropriations instead of the ways and means committee, where it properly belonged. Mr. McMillin and oth !er members of the latter committee ques tioned the propriety of sending such a measure to the appropriations committee. Speaker Carlisle ruled that a majority had power to send a bill to any standing com mittee. Whereupon Mr. McMillin ex pressed a desire that the motion of the gentleman from North Carolina should be voted down. "Now is a chance for you gentlemen who want an opportunity to vote for the abolition of the tobaeco tax," ex claimed Mr. Cowles standing at his desk and wavmng his hands aioft. The Virginia and North Carolina delegations, assisted by an almost solid Republican vote, together1 with Messrs. Tillman of South Carolina, and Compton of Maryland, carried the day, and the bill goes to the appropriations commit tee. It is hardly probable that such a bill will becomea law during the present Bession, but its friends claim that it will pass the House if an opportunity is given to vote upon it. Cut in Two by a Buzz Saw. Horzr Hzrzm January 11.-A horrible ac cident occurred near here this afternoon at the saw mill of Jerry L. Smith. Ellie Scott, a workingman at the mill, stumbled over a piece of scantling and was precipitated across the saw while in motion. His body was severed just below the hips, death re sulting almost immediately. Sumter News. BrrER, Jan. 13.-An alarm of fire was struck to-day at 2 o'clock, and the roof of Mr. W. J. Anderson's dwelling house was discovered to be in flames. By the prompt and vigorous efforts of those who first reach ed the scene, the fire was got under control by the time the fire department arrived, al though it responded promptly. The dam age is slight and covered by insurance. In going to the fire, the steamer ran over Mr. T. C. Scaffe, and inflicted injuries, the most serious of which was to his foot,. which is badly crushed. Mr. R. R. Browden, who died yesterday morning of spinal meningitis, was buried at ten o'clock this morning. His death is notable for the fact that it is the second from this dreadful and mysterious malady that has occurred in this city during the past month. There is another case now under treatment here, that is considered beyond the hope of recovery. Spinal meningitis is an unusual disease at present, but your readers in the upper part of this state will remember what nutabers fell victims to it about the year 1872.-Charleston World. The Washington CWic says: "Another addition has been made to the rapidly in creasing list of Congressmen who own property in Washington, this time by Sen ator Butler, of South Carolina. who has purchased the property 1,434 N street, one of thre houses owned by Major Ferguson. The house, which is a three story pressed brick front. will be somewhat remodelled, the principal improvement being on the front, the former high stoop to be torn down and an English basement put in.." The barkeeper of one of the large New York hotels has decided the interesting question of the value of new year "swear offs." He says that he has noticed that im mediately after the first of the year the re ceipts for drinks fall oft' on an average 35 per cent., but as the month advances they gain steadily and by February 1 they are Iback to the starting poin'. A "swear-off," therefor , will generally last about thirty days._____ Nicest selection in town of snow flakes and other fine crackers and cakes at M. Blnd for Eleven Days. Mrs. J. T. Love, of Leesburg, Ga., widow of an eminent and successful physician, says under date of Sept. 20, 188S: My husband in a large and lucrative practice used Swift's Specific, and with it restored to health many persons in whose cases all other med icines proved useless. One young man who had been treated for six years for blood poison, his condition had gradually grown worse, and got to be horrible. He was helpless for twelve months and blind for eleven days. His case seemed incurable. But he was cured sound and well by S. S. S., and to-day is a strong and healthy man. Permanent. At the time I began taking S. S. S. my body and arms were almost one solid sore, and I had been taking medicine for twenty-six years to cure blood poison. In less than thirty days my skin had all cleaned off, and I was a well man. Jon B. WuLLIu, 31 Washington St., Atlanta, Ga. Oct. 28, 1888. Swift's Specific cured me of malig nant blood poison after I had been treated in vain with old so-called rem edies of mercury and potash. S. S. S. not only cured the blood poison, but relieved the rheumatism which was caused by the poisonous minerals. GEO. DovELL, 2422 3d Avenue, N. Y.

Rivers Lawton, who plants the Cravat place, near Otranto, has one of the Mason cylinder gins at his ginnery. He says that there is no question that the lint turned out is of a much zuperior quality to that turned out by a saw gin. He says that less power is required to run the Mason gin, and he thinks that there is not any question that the Mason cylinders as now constructed are thoroughly durable. Up to a few days ago Mr. Lawton was of the opin ion that the Mason gin did not clean the seed quite so well as the saw gin, but he does not think so now. In a test by gin ning 300 pounds of seed cotton on it, and the same amount on a saw gin, the yield was live per cent. in favor of the Mason gin. -.4 IS CONSUMPTION INCURABLE ? Read the following: Mr. C. H. Morris, Newark, Ark., says: "Was dowl with Ab scess of Lungs, and friends and physicians pronounced me an Incurable Consumptive. Began taking Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, am now on my third bottle, ad able to oversee the work on my farm. It is the finest medicine ever made."

Near the village of Zilling dorf, in Lower Austria, lives Maria Haas, an intelligent and industrious woman, whose story of physical suffering and final relief, as related by herself, is of interest to English women. "I was employed," she says, "in the work of a large farm house. Overwork brought eon sick headache, followed by a deathly fainting and sickness of the stomach, until I was unable to retain either food or drink. I was compelled to take to my bed for several weeks. Getting a little better from rest and quiet, I sought to do some work, but was soon taken with a pain in my side, which '.n a little while seemed to spread over my whole body, and throbbed in my every limb. This was followed by a cough and shortness of breath, until finalv I could not sew, and I took to my bed for the second, and, as I thought, for the last time. My friends told me that my time had nearly come, and that I could not live longer then when the trees Vut on their green once more. then I happened to get one of the Sei ge[ pamphlets. I read it, and my dear mother bought me a battle of SEIGEB's SYRP, (Shaker Extract of Roots) which I took exactly according to directions, and I had not t.ken the whole of it before I felt a change for the better. My last illness began June 3d, 1882, and continued to August 9th, when I began to take the Syrup. Very soon I could do a little light work. The cough left me, and I was no more troubled in breathing. Now I am perfectly cured; and oh; how happy I am! I cmft express gratitude enough for SEIGEL'S SYRUP (Shaker Ex tract of Roots). Now I must tell you that the doctors in our district distributed handbills cautioning the people against the medicine, telling them it would do no good, and many were thereby influenced to de stroy the Seigel pamphlets; but now, whenever one is to be found, it is kept like a relic. The few preserved are bor rowed to read, and I have lent mine for six miles around ouir district. People have come eighteen miles to get me to buy the medicine for them, know ing that it cured me, and to be sure to get the right kind. I know a woman who was look ing like death, and who told them there was no help for her, that she had consulted several doctors, but none could help her" I1 told her of Seigel s Syrup, and wrote the name down for her that she might make no mistake. She took my advice and the Syrup, and now she is in perfect health, and the people around us are amazed. The medicine has made such progress in our neighborhood that people say they don't want the doctor any more, but they take the Syrup. Sufferers from gout who were confined to their beds and could hardly move a finger have been cured by it. There is a girl in our district who caught a cold by going through some water, and was in bed five years with costiveness and rheumaticepains, and had to have an attendant to watch by her. There was not a doctor in the surrounding district to whom her mother had not applied to relieve her child, but every one crossed themselves and said they could not help her. Whenever the little bell rang, which is rung in our place when anybody is dead, we thought surely it was for her; but Seigel's Syrup and Pills (Shaker Extract of Roots) saved her life, and now she is as healthy as anybody, goes to church, and can work even in the fields. Everybody was astonished when they saw her out, knowing how many years she had been in bed. To-day she adds her grati tude to mine for God's mercies and Seigel's Syrup. MLimI Haas.

THE SUN believes that the campaign for the election of a Democratic Congress in 1890 and a Democratic President in 1892 should begin on or about the fourth of ne .t March. THE SUN will be on hand at the beginning and until the end of the most interesting and important political conflict since the war, doing its honest utoost, as ever, to secure the triumph of the Democrat ic party and the permanent supremacy of the nrincipes held by Jefferson, Jackson, and Tild n. The great fact of the year is the return to bsolute power of the common enemy of all good Democrats-the political organization r whose overth'how Tau SVN fought at the ront for litteen years, the miemorabkT years f Grant anud the F'rana Hayos, an a Go~rfild and .Arthur. It is the samec old enemy that Democrats ow cjofront, and he will be intrenched in he same strong position. It has been car ed once by brave and hopeful fighting. o you not believe withi ThE SUN that the hing can be done agrain? WMit and see!

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, 1859. All new strnctures erected 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 durng 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 payer'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 post office as their place of resi dence, and where they own no real proper ty, to mention the owner's land that they live on as being their place cu residence, which assists the tax payer as well as the County Treasurer in making the collection, and saves costs and penalties too.
