THE MANING TIMES. S. A. NETTLES, Editor. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 23, 1889. You can often determine the value of a man's character from the charac ter of his enemies. Debate has begun in the lower house of congress on the bills to ad mit five of the territories as states. The last Legislature was a poor excuse for a law-making body. Its proceedings, to say least of it, would scarcely have done credit to a boys debating society. The News and Courier and the Charleston World each issued a six teen page edition last Sunday, and each published a complete novel, "Mis. Bretherton," in their issue. It was a splendid feat of Southern jour From what some of our merchan ts say there has not been more than half the lien business opened up here during the present month to date as was during the same time last year. This may be a good sign. It is only regretted that the necessity exists for any si h business at all. Our entire people,'both merchants and farmers, would be more prosperous if they could live without it. We understand that a number of the public roads in different sections ,of the county are in a bad and neg lected condition. In some instances ditches necessary for purposes of _ drainage, crossing the public roads, have been allowed to fill up, and the bridges over them have been remov ed. This is contrary to law, and is really injustice on the part of ex-road commissioners to the parties whose lands are thus affected. By a recent Act of the General Assembly the county commissioners are made re ponsible for this. work, and they ould attend to it as soon as possi ble, as such action on their part may save the eounty a suit for damages. The progress-and business prosper ity of a place may lag, and its people n way become discouraged and lose their energy, but time in its unceas ing march waits not, and the business world moves onward apparently for getful of dead places and the people that inhabit -them. We are not by wy means of this latter ca, neither ]a our town a' dead place, and now that we ale entering upon a new year let every man in Manning and in the county constitute himself an agent to assist in building up our town. There I no place in the State that can offer greater inducements to home seekers. Our town is located in the center of a ine farming country,. real estate is ~~heap in town and in the county, rail road facilities are excellent; health is unsurpassed by any other place in the same latitude, and there is noth ng needing to make it one of the ~.most. prosperous and progressive '7laces in the State except the con i The forming of the new county of -Florence seems -to have turned the heads, of some of its. lawyers, and neryttahave~ affected the Attorney Gnerali. A great tempest in a.tea pot -was raised about the legality ol the rih of the appointed officers to Ioldofleand all such stuff. The temnpest is over, and it is agreed to let matters be as they are. More fuss has been made over the .lrming of Florence, and over its or ~anition, than there is any need of. They have 'a part of Clarendon that they ought not to have. It is said -.thatsome ofthe-Salem men who could mot get such offces in Clarendon as they 'wished, did all they could for the new county in hopes- of getting some public pap. We do not know how~ iunch truth there is ini this assertion, ha- -we w~i venture the assertion that Vhe parts of Clarendon and Wil lamsburg used in forming this new~ vounty will be shared out for two or three years yet. We are informed thai the work done in Motts, and other parts of Salem, to get a part of Clar enden-te assist in -formning Florence, -ss done very quietly, and that our delegationi in the Legislature knewu n'othing of~ the petition till introduc ed. in the Legislature. Well, th( eounty is formed, and we hope all in Verested are satisfied. Organizing Florence County. The Governor has appointed Z. T. Ker An clerk of court .for Florence county, bie-Scetr of State, for the purpose of tr-Aing the ealpower of the Governor t< aypoint unde te act establishing Florenci on.uty,.has declined to issue a commissioro f-Mr. Kershaw.

Jan. 22.-Owing to the recent changes in real estate, there are many improvements going on in Foreston. Mr. J. C. Land has thirteen acres in the upper part of town from which he is geitig an imimense quantity of wood, after which it will be ready for cropping. Mr. Sprot has also greatly improved the IMv acre lot bought of Mr. Hudgins. Mr. M. S. Cantey has taken the house re cently occupied by Mr. J. C. China. and has moved his mother from Santee. The measles have about run through the town, the health is now much better, and we expect our school to be all one could wish for. Visitors are so numerous we cannot keep a note of them. F. Hot Springs. Seven years ago my blood was badly poisoned. Ulcers and boils breaking out all over my body. The strong medicines which I took brought on Rheumatism, and I went to Hot Springs, Ark., for two :months, which seemed to cure the disease. but it was only smothered, for on my re turn home the horrible disease ap peared again worse than before. I then discarded all other treatment and took Swift's Specific, aid its use cured me perfectly well I have been well about seven years, and no return of the disease. S. L. EDWARD,-. McCormick, S. C. Oct. 20, ISSS. Boils. S. S. S. is a cure for boils, for it eured me twelve months ago. I only took one bottle. B. 0. Y Ersiu., Greenwood, S. C. Oct. 26, 1888. During the early part of the past spring (1S8) my body was covered with boils. At one time more than fifty were counted on my body and limbs. My face was not exempt from the painful trouble. The usual rem edies would do me no good. Just why I began taking S. S. S. I do not know, but almost immediately I began: to improve. I took nearly three bot-' ties, and found myself entirely well. It was your medicine which effected the cure, when everything else had failed. Yours truly, J. H. FonnuLi, Staunton, Va. Aug. 1, 188S.

Thei~ingstree 1cord says: The store of Benjamin Bros., of this place was burglari. ously entered on the night of the Bch inst., and robbed of various kinds of merchandise. The entrance was effected by removing the brick from the side of the chimney, making an opening large enough for a man to get through. From the appearance of the store the next morning the burglar must have re mained in it for a considerable time. The counters and show cases showed signs of fire being used from a torch, and the .gods examined carefully. The thief wvas evident ly after the best articles. No clue to the burglary has been discovered. The following gentlemen have been appointed as the County Board of Pension Examiners for Florence Coun ty: Dr. James Evans, .Jerome P.

Line,. said yesterday that the schedule v:as so fast that the engineer had to wear clamps on his nose to keep the skin from peeling oft. Before the change in schedule was made a week or two ago, the tntin made the trip from Charleston to Columbia, 138 miies, in three hours and twenty minutes, stopping at eleven sttions; now a halt of at least two minutes must be made at twenty three stations, an~d the running time has not been lengthened. The actual running time is about sixty miles an hour.-?Charles ton World. 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 fmne 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, 1888, writes: "I depend on B. B. B. fort the preservation of' my health. I have had it in my family now nearly two years, and in all that time have notihad to have a doc tor." Thos. P'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 mc." had a tong spclio typ;hoid 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." General complaint is that last year was a hard one to our people. Farm ers made short crops, and merchants poor collections, in const'nence. But notwthstanding all this, the outlook is hopeful, and both classes seem de termined that Chu-endon shall coniin ue to hold her accustomed high posi New Names For New States. WASINGTON, January S.--The proposi tion advanced by Congressman Springer, of llinois, to change the names of se veral of the Territorit s to solething raore in keeping with their general character istics has attracted \ \idd attention. 1'robabl v twenty letters a day out. of Mr. S:ringer's volumijns mail are de-vo:ed to this subject alone. One would naura1lly suppo e that the most, if not all. of tIn'- lett-s:c w'ld originate it the Teritories in queston. The iaet is. Ih.- Western peolCi:ea:rent ly have hat little intere'. in ihe subject in asa:uch as those who address .i. Sprini'er reside mainly in the New Enghand or Mid die States. Many of the writers are women who characterize the proosed names as ":esthetic," "euphonious," or "nice." c cording to their respective f:ncies. Others, again, suggest names quito as fitting as thoa. upon which Mr. Springer has deelded. 1Lw it many object to the pr)osed change. There is a peeniar s esiv.ness attach ing to the name of Winuna, whieh it is pro posel to bes:.r upon Southrn kL';ota. the irst of the inie Tenitories to be adi"ttd. Winona: is an Indian name which signiiies the first fem le chid born in the family. The name of Dakota will be retained for the northern half of the Territory. Tacoma, which it is desired to substitute as the namie for Washington Territory, has also an Indan origin. Upon the highest mountain peaks in the '1Trritory are two hillocks, which lie side by side and which are forever covered with snow. Their ap pearance, viewed from the table lands below, suggested to the poetic minds of the In dians the flowing outlines of the femalk form, and the mountain nas thus given the name of Tacoma, which means "the nour :shing breast." The name of Montezuma as applicd to Nex Mexico is so associated with traditioua of the Amj es as to make it of all na:.nes the iost a lg 1rate cf any yet suggested. THE NEW 1SCOVERY.

Stanley, of Eastover, has cx hibitla at the IRejir otlice some fine sam pies of fibre prepared fhon pine nheedies and from ramie and ready to be spun into a serviceable fabric. The Xers ord Couri--r has claimoed for a gentleman in Charleston the lonor of sn cssfully solving the problem of prepannig the bark of the rie plant so as t. be redy to be cairded and span. but the honor of p'revious solution vwould seem to belonit: to Mr. Stanley, who has been experiment ing in this direction fior some time, and has discovered a cetmical and mnechanical pro cess by which to accomplish the much de sired end. He some time ago achieved this consum ma ion of his investigations and has already applied f->r letters patent covering his pro cess, and expeets that his application for a patent viil be granted, if indeed, it has not already been. Trhe sare pIes he shows are very interest ing, arnd the ramie fibre has a silken ap nearar.ce, which makes it, when spun arid voven, a very rich and handsome fabnce, capable of being dyed any color. Mr. Sianley has been eno~bled to perfeet his process tor prepariug pinet straw fibre so that he can produce it, ready for spin ning, at a cost of only S7 a ton. This fibre can be made into cotton bagging, nloor mat ting, etc., and for either usc. it compares fa vorably with the product made from jute. His machinery at Eastover has a capacity for preparing one ton of pinc straw fibre ready for spinning per day. This woven into bagging would be able to be supplied at three cents a yard, and reckoning six yards to the bale, the low cost of the new fabric and the great saving to the cotton planter over the present bagging is easily igured. The weight of the six yards is but 10} pounds.-Cdumnba JRister. A FAMILY B3LESSING.

It is said we dig our graves with our eth. How foclish this sounds. Yet it is fearfuilly true. We are ter riled at the approach of the cholera nd yellow fevcer, vet there is a dis ease constantly at our doors and in our Louses far more dangerous and destructive. Most people have in their own stomachs a poison, more slow, but quite as fatal as the germs )f those maladies which sweep men into eternity by thousands without warning in the times of great epi Jenics. But it is a mercy that, if we are watchful, we can tell when we are threatend. The following are among the symi:ptoms, yet they do not aways necessarily appear in the same order, nor are they always the sane in different cases. a There is a dull and sleepy feeling; a bad taste in the mouth, especially in the morning; the appetite is change able, sometimes poor and again it seems as though the patient could not eat enough, and occasionally no appetite at all; dullness and slug gishness of the mid; no ambition to study or work; more or less head ache and heaviness in the head; 4izziness on rising to the feet or moving suddenly; furred and coat cd tongue; a sense of a load on the stomach that nothing removes; hot and dry skin at times; yellow tinge in the eyes; scanty and high-colored urine; sour taste in the mouth, fre quently attended by palpitation of the heart; impaired vision, with :pots that seem to be swimming in the air before the eyes; a cough, with a greeni.-colored expecto I ration; poor nights' rest; a sticky slime about the teeth and gums; hands anid feet cold and clammy; irritable temper and bowels bound ap and costive. This disease has puzzled the physicians and still puz zles them. It is the commonest of .:ilnents and yet the most compli cated and mysterious. Sometimes it is treated as consumption, some times as liver complaint, and then again as malaria and even heart dis ease. But its real nature is that of constipation and dyspepsia. It arises in the digestive organs and soon affects all the others through the corrupted and poisoned blood. Often the whole body-including the nervous system-is literally starved, even when there is nc emaciation to tell the sad story. Experience has shown that there is put one remedy that can certainly cure this disease in all its stages, namely, Shaker Extract of Roots or Mother Seigel's Cura ive Syrup. If never fails but, nevertheless, no time should be lost in trying other so called reredies, for they will do no good. Get this great vegetable preparation.

Tnm Sox believes that the campaign for the election of a Democratic Congress in 180 and a Democratic President in 1S92 should begin on or about the fourth of next March. Tn.: Sr- wiul be on hand at the beginning and until the end of the most interesting and important political conflict since the war, doing its honest utmost, as ever, to secure the triumph: of the Democrat ic party and the permanent supremacy of the principles held by Jefferzon, Jackson, and Tilden. The great fact of the year is the return to absolute power of the common enemy of all good Democrats-the political organization for whose overthrow TuE SUs fought at the front for fifteen years, the memorable years of Grant and the Fraud Hayes, and Garfield and Arthur. It is the same old enemy that Democrats now confront, and he will be intrenched in the same strong position. It has been car ried once by brave and hopeful fighting. Do you not believe with Tnr So; that the thing can be done again? Wait and see! The hope of the Democracy is in the loyal efforts of a united press, cherishing no memories of past differences in non-es sentials, forgeittg everything but the les sons of expenence, and that victory is a duty.

"We Locya it for the Enemies it has Made" is what the c-nlightened SOUTH says of Belford's LAgaine. It became the favorite Magazine of the South fromi the start. WHlY? Because the educated South is DEMOCRATIC and wants an honest Government; because DUN PIATT, the Editos, is aggressively inde pendent and a true patriot of a united country; because its policy is that of all honest and educated persons: FREE TADE, less governmental interference in personal matters, and good wholesome fic tion; because the Editor heartily welcomes SOUTHERN WRITERS to its pages, e. q., the best literary production by an Amuerican writer since the war is OLD MAN GTLBERT, by a sotuthern lady, MRS. ELIZABETIH BELLAMY, in the June number; because the Editor gives quality and quantity and nt big names for your money; because the ablest persons of tbe country contribute to the pag~es of BELFORD'S, such as Hon. John G. CARLISLE, Henry WATTERSON, James Whiteomeb RILEL. David A. WELLES, Professor W. G. SUMNER, Jul in HAWTHORNE. Eduar FAWCETT, Ed-I Igar SAT.TUs, Sarah U.'Mi. PIXTT, Henry GEORGE, W. J.
