THE MANNflG TIMES. M mIMa g,. .. S. A. NETTLES, Editor. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 30,1889. A postage stamp is a very small af fair, but the announcement that the New York postoffice alone sold thir teen tons of them last year, shows how many trifles can make big results. It is interesting to note that while Harrison gets 233 electoral votes against Cleveland's 168, the popular vote for the Democratic candidate was 5,534,867, against 5,436,687 for his successful antagonist. It is well enough for all guardians, executors, administrators and trustees to remember that January and February are the months in which they are required to make an anual return of their acts and doings for the last year to the Probate Judge. Marriage is not a failure in Texas, for by the report of the State commis sioner of statistics for the past year it is shown that there were 61,623 births in that State of whom 102677 were colored, 875 white pairs of twins and 199 colored, 15 s ts of white triplets and 4 colored. A bill has been introduced in the North Carolina Legislature to amend the election law. The proposed amend ments are copies of the South Caro lina election law, and it is thought if the bill is passed it will cut off at least half the negro vote, but as to the white vote it will hurt the Democrats more than the Republicans. The immig-ation that has poured into Southern and Western Florida bas made it a white man's land, wealthy and prosperous. While the 10,200 negroes south of St. Augustine had grown from 1870 to 1880 to 16, 900, the 17,300 whites had grown to 45,900, and are nearly 70,000 to-day. In that section of the State the races 'were nearly equal eighteen years ago; the whites are four to one to-day, and in a number of the counties the negro population has actually decreased. The Rev. Dr. Burchard, whose three "'a" at a crisis made him famous, is staying at the same hotel in Washing ton which shelters James G. Blaine. This is not the first time since 1884 that Blaine and Burchard have lodged beneath the same roof.. During Mr. Blaie's -sojourn in Europe he was more than once a fellow-guest with urebard at hotels in England and on the Continent. There is something weird and grotesque about the fate which throws these men together. The full text of the last State pen ion law, embracing more than two columns, was published two weeks ago in the Tnas, on the first Page, We publish elsewhere a few notes ooweeaing that law.. The second Readay in February, according to in ications, will find a large crowd of Confederate veterans in the county courthouse, ready to do what t.hey can for the -advancezmert of the inter -ests of the disabled veterans. The State cannot do all it would like to help these old heroes, but to the ex tent of $50,000 it proposes to help them. The pension eaminin beard is in session every dy n about thirty applications, largely males, have been received up to date. After all the applications have been eeived, the board will pass on them, apr'igor .disapproving as their jugent directs. It would be well for all who desire to apply for a pen .aion to do so at once. DAVE TUCKER 'Da The Formation of t'iorence County. Ema~onnm:-Iwas rather sur gsisd at the reception of your letter, somplaining about the formation of the new county of Florence, when I semember that you were one of the eenvassers who carried around for signatures one of the petitions for its formation, and your announcement as a candidate for coroner of the new .gounty at the time of such canvass. Why you are now in "sack cloth and ashes" sabou~t it I cannot see for the life of me. -Perhaps I can conjecture your discomfiture since I've learned tbe resulta of the recent nominating convention held at Florence. You seem to have been one of the left and unwanown. No doubt your name went aoightily against you. I tender you my moat profound sympathy, for I have been along all those old paths. I ean tell you, Nick, this office hunt ing business is a very ticklish thing, and -er trying to one's nerves. But it wilR no good now to kiok u a dust-about it, you signed the petitPon fo;r the formation of the new county with the county seat at thetowntof Flor es~ce, and I don't think it the clean thing inyou to try to go back on it nour:. Remember that all you fellows can't have office, there aint enough to go round. May be in the long future ours aun ma.) come, and your ser icsadunselfish patriotism will be rare.I would suggest that in th~e meantime you get a spelling and writing book, and practice some, as th~e reading and writing affairs of your i ine might bother you right smartly. I-owever. when the new Cou-t House is Esished, you might get the posi tjte of janitor; that office won't tax y our brains much, and requires but Ijt tt intellectual qualifications. You ,vy: "That the whole thing was cut andi dried beforehand." Well, Nick, yu- are a perfect specimen of stupid 2t fyou did not know such to le~ in the natural course of events. Now, this talk about "rings" is all nonsense; it's a slander on the good time cursing rings over here, and what good did it do you? People looked upon your tirades as very harmless articulate sounds, coming from one close kin to the mule's fath er, and I hope this experience of yours will prevent future sarcasm on your near relative. You will recollect, dear Nick, that at the time you were so busy canvass ing you told us, "That we on this side of the river were promised by the Florentines that they were going to build an iron truss bridge across the river, that we may laugh at freshets, with an acadamized road to Florence 'straight as the crow flies,"' but what took the cake, unsophisticated Nick, was, "That they would build the Court House and jail at their own expense." I know that "little ofice matter" dot you, but that Court House and jail boom got the taxpaying farmers. But, "all is well that ends well," and I feel assured that all these promises (if made at all) will be kept in good faith, notwithstanding the grumbling of the "sore heads." Again, I am satisfied the new county has bright prospects ahead. She is in good finan cial condition, and surely was not af ter the "flesh pots of Egypt" when she got the small portions of the counties comprising her area (vide the special committee's report to the Legislature), she was after area, not money. If the town of Florence wanted the county seat I cannot con ceive why she should not have it. She offers more and better inducements than her competitors. It matters not whether it will benefit the land own ers there. You are not envious of their good fortune, are you? I'm not, I only wish I had a few acres there, hope to some day if I can persuade Becky to move there; then you can come and visit us. At such time we'll kill a chicken and churn every pop. So let's go ahead, pull together, and try and make the new county all that can be anticipated, with the town of Florence the Atlanta of South Caro lina. Yours truly, DAVE TUrcun. Mr. J. N.

In the year 1877, baring some experience in the mill business, Mr. W. Sc. tt Harvin came to Manning, and began putting up a grist mill and gin, which he intended to operate on a small scale, but before the work of building had been completed the entire business was consumed by the torch of an incendiary, whose crime yet remains unpunished. Mr. Harvin then went to For eston, much reduced financially, but with hope, energy, and determination that has stood the crucial test, he, there, in partner ship with his brother, Mr. Charles R. Har vin, conducted a lumber business until the spring of 1879, at which time the firm remov ed to .lanning. Here the partnership was continued until the fall of that year, when Mr. Charles R. Harvin withdrew, sold his interest in the business to his partner, and became a stockholder in the Foreston and Manning Tram Road Co. Since the year 1l'79 Mr. W. Scott Harvin has continued in the mill business at Man ning, and has been alone. Besides his grist mill he has also run his saw mill most of the time, and for several years did a small business in lumber, supplying only a part of the local demand. About the year 1883 he moved the lumber mill across Ox Swamp, about two miles from town, and sold it to his brother, Mr. C. R. Harvin, who ran the business several years at that point, bat un der most disadvantageous circumstances. In fact the hand of misfortune seemed upon him, for during these two or three years he was twice burnt out, losing almost everything destructible by fire, and neither time hav ing a cent insurance. Notwithstanding all these backsets and business calamities, Mr. C. R. Harvin is of that peculiar tempera ment that he became not at all discouraged; in fact the way he bore himself in these hours of financial trial seemed to inspire confidence in those with whom he did busi ness; and it was but a short time before he commenced work in the same line, but on a considerably enlarged basis, about five miles above town. Here he continued until a few weeks ago, when the preseat new firm was entered into. During the past few years he did a large business, tramming the lumber frou his mill across Black itiver to the Central Railroad at Dudleys. When Mr. W. Scott Harvin sold his mill over Ox Swamp, he increased the capacity of his gins, bought a planer, and added other important machinery to his business in town. Since that time, and from year to year, the gins have been materially im proved, and is now, it is believed, consid ering capacity and quality of work done, second to none in the State. For several years past he has run three gins, and with the present facilities, thirty bales is an or dinary day's ginning, and during the past season an average of twenty-nine bales was made for three weeks in succession. In the year 1884, when our town was laid waste by fire, Mr. W. Scott Harvin was one of the first to see the need of the hour, and ordered a brick machine with which he made brick to supply the demands of our merchants. Nor was it done in a spirit of personal aggrandizement, for the brick were sold at most reasonable prices, and all of our t.erchants who rebuilt used them. Mr. Harvin now has on hand probably 300,000 brick that he is still selling at about 25 per cent. less than the usual prce. This is only one of many things he has done that have gained him popularity, and to-day he is re garded as one of the most public spirited young men of our town. During the past seven years Mr. W. Sc ott Harvin has also acted as local salesman for machinery manufacturers, and has handled a large quantity of all kinds of machinery. The first year his sales were small, but they have gradually and steadily increased, and without any special efforts on his part, except to do what he ob ligates to do, and to ask and expect the same from those with whom he deals. Such a course is popular with business men, and it has proven so in this instance. Mr. Har vin's sales though only a few hundred dol lars the first year, now average from fiye to ten thousand a year. In the whole time, and with this extensive run of business, he has never failed to collect anything in this line, except one small bill of about three hundred dollars. This is something re mark-able, and is evidence of extraordinary business tact and judgment. The foregoing is but a brief and hurried sketch of the business career, during the past few yea~rs, of the two members of the new firm that is now operating the large lumber business in Manning. They are running two large mills with a daily capacity of about twenty thousand feet of lumber. Their tram road is already completed about three miles into one of the finest timbered sections in the county, and is being rapidly built. The whistle of the tram engine as it comes in with timber adds new life to our town. The section of coun try entered will afford timber to run the mills at this point for about six years at their pres ent capacity. Some delay in starting was caused by not getting some parts of the machinery that were to have been sent in earlier, but the business is now running, and in a day or so more, it will be worth the while of the curi ous to go down and see what Harvin & Bro. are doing. A WOMAN'S DISCOVERY. "Another wonderful discovery has been made and that too by a lady in this county. Disease fastened its clutches upon her and for seven years she withstood its severest tests, but her vital organs were undermin ed and death seetned imminent. For three months she coughed incessantly and could not sleep. She bought of us a bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption and was so much relieved on taking first dose that she slept all night and with one bottle has been miraculously cured. Her name is Mrs Luther Lutz." Thus write W. C. Hamrick & Co., of Shelby, N. C.-Get a free trial bottle at Dinkins & Co.'s Drug Store. (Kingstree Record.] Williamsburg News. Capt.

Death resulted instantly. There were others present who rushed to his as .istance, as soon as it occurred, but only to aehold the ghastly spectacle before them. It must have been a terrible shock to all pres ent, and especially so to his wife and par ents, whom he had left only a short time before in the vigor and strength of his young manhood.

Numer ous remedies were used for it, but the cancer grew steadily worse, until it seemed that I was doomed to follow the others of the family.

The Mount Lebanon (New York) Shakers are a quiet com munity, secluded from the fret and worry of the outside world. They are widely known, how ,jer, for their strict honor and probity in business. The Shakers believe that na ture has aremedy for every dis ease. A few have been found the rest are as yet unknown. Many were discovered by acci dent, Others came to light as the result of patient experiment and research. Nervous Dyspepsia is a com paratively new disease, growing out of the conditions of modem life. It is a joint affection of the digestive organs and of the nervous system. These two were formerly treated as sepa rate ailments, and it was left for the clear-si ghted Shakers to prove that the basis of this terrible and often fatal compli cation lies chiefly in the disord ered and depraved functions of digestion and nutrition. They reasoned thus:-"If we can in duce the stomach to do its work, and stimulate the excre tive organs to drive out of the body the poisonous waste mat ters which remain after the.life giving elements of the food have been absorbed, we shall have conquered Nervous Dys pepsia and. Nervous Exhaust ion. And they were right. Knowing the infallible power of Shakcr E .tract (Seigel's Syrup) in less complicated though s i m il a r diseases, they resolved to test it fully in this. To leave no ground for doubt they prescribed the remedy in hundreds of cases which had been pronounced in curable-with perfect success in every instance where their directions as to living and diet were scrupulously followed. Nervous Dyspepsia and Ex haustion is a peculiarly Ameri car. disease. To a greater or less extent half the people of this country suffer from it both sexes and all ages. In no country in the world are there so many insane asylums Slled to overflowng, all resulting from this alarming disease. Its leading symptoms are these: Frequent or continual head ache; a dull pain at the base of the brain; bad breath; nau seous eructations; the rising of sour and pungent fluids to the throat; a sense of oppress ion and faintness at the pit of the stomach; flatulence; wake fulness and loss of sleep.; dis gust with food even when weak from the need of it; sticky or slimy matter on the teeth or in the mouth, especially on ris ing in the morning; furred and coated tongue; dull eyes; cold hands and feet; constipatiory; dry or rough skin ; inability to fxithe mind on any labor call ing for continuous attention; and oppressive and sad fore bodings and fears. All this terrible ~ group Shaker Extract (Seigel's Syrup) removes by its pos itie, powerful, dirc yet painless and gentle action upon the functions of digestion and assimilation. Those elements of the food that build up and strengthen the system are sent upon their mission, while all waste matters (the ashesof life's fire) which unremoved, poison and kill, are expelled from the body through the bowels, kid neys and skin. The weak and prostrated nerves are quieted, toned and fed by the purified blood. As the result, health, with its enjoyments, blessings and power, returns to the suf ferer who had, perhaps, aband oned all hop of ever seeing mnother wel day.

THE ScN 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 utmost, as ever, to secure the triumph of the Democrat ic party and the permanent supremacy of the principles held by Jefferson, Jackson, and Tildeni. The great fact of the year is the return to absolute power of the common enemy of all good Democrats-the political organization toi- whose overthrow THE SuN 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 irttrenched in the same strong position. It has been car ried once by brave and hopeful fighting. Do you not believe with TEE SuN 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 ini non-es sentiale, forgetting everything but the les sons of experience, and~that victory is a duty. Probably you know THE SuN already as a newspaper which gets all the news and prints it in incomparably interesting shape; which chronicles facts as they occur and tells the truth about men and events with absolute fearlessness, making the complet et and most entertaining journal publish ed anywhere on earth; and which sells its opinions only to its subscribers and par chasers at two cents a copy-on Sundays four cents. If you do not know TEE SUs, send for it and learn what a wonderful thing it is to be in the sunshine.
