THE MANNING TIMES Mann in ers S. C. S. A. NETTLES, Editor. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 27,1389. DOZ'T BUY CORY. The farmers of Clarendon county a great many lof them, are not in E prosperous condition. Any farme who has to buy corn, hay, bacon, mo eam, and such is losing ground; an< that farmer who habitually buyssucl commodities had better go at somi other business, or hire out for wages for be cannot make money off hi; farm, Failure, falling behind, an< dishonesty will be the inevitable re sult. Don't misunderstand us: w< say the farmer who habitually bud such commodities will probably en< up by a dishonest failure. D~uring the present decade the farmers o Clarendon have had three hard vear $o tide over, 1882, 1885, and the pres ent year 1889, as a result of bad pre ceding crop years. The corn crop in fveral xsections of this county lasl ear was poor or a failure, but in our opinon last year's misfortunes furnish no valid excuse for the present bad state of affairs. In a recent conversation with Mr. M. Levi, e largert dealer in this section of untry, we elicited the fol. lowing facts: He has already since the 1st of January ordered three car loads of corn, and will probably or der four more carloads. He has also tiiedduring the same time 3 car oads :of bacon, 2 of hay, 2 of flour, and I f molasses; and he expects to order in addition to this 3 of bacon and 2 of hay. Mr. D. Levi, of Santee -ection has aready, since Jan. 1st, ordered 3 carloads of corn,1 of bacon, I of hay, and t of molasses, and he wi need more yet. (A carload con tsins about 500 bushels corn, or 25000 Pounds bacog, or 120 barrels of This now is from just two of merchants. Loyns, and Rigby, nd berg also sell largely of these commodities, but not so much as Mr. iesvi And a good many farmers or der their npphesirom Oarleston and -otherplcea The question we wish to propound do our farmer buy so much oduce that could easily be made at N o moeses or syrup can y eqjak in quality or purity that we !! frone the ribbon cane.

A change is needed The subject is one of great interest * and we saHbe pleased to have an; one take it up. While on this subject we may men lion that though the prices of guano are higher, yet about the same quan Stity is being used. It is well to us good fertiiers, but could not ou isrmers help out greatly by increas ing the compost hea, etc.? We have written 'hi article in a] kindness, and we hope the subjec will be discussed to the benefit of ou tarmers. President-elect Harrison is a men ber and officer of the First Presbyte ~ian church, of Indianapolis. Las Sunday, at the close of the* sero the pastor addressing Mr. Hairrisoz who was present, used highly eukc gistic language towards him, as a cii sen,..a military offcer, a civil office: ad as professor of religion. He gay him a first class certificate of chara< ter.. It was Harrison's las.t Sunday i - Indianapolis, as he left there the fo llwing dar for Washington. The town council of Yorkville made an example of a whiskey-selling drug ist of -that place one day last week by fining him fifty dollars, which he paid and promised to sin no more. At they recent term of court in Chesterfield two white men were con victed of carrying concealed weapons, and were fined $50 each and costs. This looks like the juries there were disposed to do their duty. The papers from every section of the State report a much larger acre age of small grain being planted than usual. This is certainly one of the 'most encouraging signs of the times from an agricultural stand point. John E. Kenna, after many and closely contested ballots by the West Virginia legislature, has been re-elect ed to the U. S. Senate from that State. He is a Democrat, and is said to be one of the ablest members of Congress. South Carolina is booming in rail roads. During the past seven months the Railroad Commission has author ized the opening of 162 miles of rail road for public traffic. There is at present in this State 2076 'miles, and still the work goes on. The receipts at the two opera houses in Charleston last week were $12,045. The Saturday night before $1,600 was taken in at one perform ance. Emma Abbott was the princi pal attraction, giving two afternoon and six evening performances. Her receipts were $S,320. Harrison will be inaugurated pres ident of the United States next Mon day, March 4th. It is expected' his inauguration will be the grandest on record. We think a good, strong ad ministration may be expected. Har rison is an able man. Blaine will very probably be Secretary of State. Judge Pressley says this. will be the last year of his judicial life, as he expects to live quietly at home the re mainder of his life. He says that he will devote his spare moments in re vising his law of magistrates and writing a condensed work on crimi nal law.-Chesterfield Cor. News and Courier. We have a high regard for the out spoken and honest conduct of John McElree, of Charleston. He believes he is-right, and he is doing all he can to correct evils. Charleston is not immaculately above evil ways and laws, and there is room for McElree, or some one else, to get these evils abated. The Woman's Christian Temperance 'Union State Convention met in Charles ton last week, and held an interest ing meeting. Mrs. Sallie F. Chapin is the president of the, order. This organization, as its name indicates, is for home, happiness, and freedom, and opposed -to whiskey, saloons, and licenses. May success brightly crown their praiseworthy efforts. The department of agriculture has received notice from farmers in a num ber of counties, that they will corn pete for the $1,000 corn 'prize. One condition for competing for this prize is that the competitor must be a sub scriber to the Americani Agriculturist, the paper that offers the $500. prize. This paper also offers $500 prizes f~d best crops of several other grains. The Grand Lodge Knights of Pyth ias held their annual meeting in Col umbia last week. It was an interest-1 ing meeting, and the order is making rapid progress in this State. H. C. Hughes, of Charleston, was electedt Qrand Chancellor. Capt. A. Levi was appointed District Deputy Grand t Chancellor for Manning. B. P. Ear- 1 ron, Esq., was appointed chainnan of S committee on appeals and grievances. The next annual meeting will be held in Charleston.< 'We understand there is a vigorous I fight going on among some of the Radical followers in Clarendon-Du Rant, Stewart, and others-to obtain the postmatership at this place. Their hope is that Mr. Bowman will. be removed and some one of them ap pointed. May be so, but we have lit tie idea that Postmater Bowman will lose his place. He is a careful and honest man, fully competent and qualified for the position, with not. a charge against him except that he is, a Democrat. Some how we think no change will be made. But time will tell.] The Republicans seem to be hay ing things their own way since Cleve land's defeat, and tbe Democrats ap pear to be demoralized. Four new States, believed to be Republicanin politics, were admitted to the Union Ilast week. If they are Republican it will give the Senate a certain Repub lican majority for a number of years, and will also very probably give them a -uew lease on the House.. Such- is life. But, then, stand fast to the col ors, and never sy yield. - There ap pears to be some wavering and hesita tion in a few Southern Democrats, but in only a few, and the "Solid South" will for some time yet remain solid. Francis Marion to Haye a Monument. 'At last the grave of Francis Marion, the "Swamp Fox" of the Revolution, is to be honored withi a monument be fitting the inemoiy and fame of the gallant soldier. Mrs. Cornelius Van dierbilt, of New York, has recently determined to erect a monument to perpetuate the memory of the great General, from whom Marion county derived its name, and to place in or der the grounds surrounding the - spot where his remains lie irnterred. -While completing arrangements for the great ball on the centennial of the inauguration of Washington. it was discovered that Mrs. Vanderbilt - has in her veins some of the same - blood that animated the gallant Mar ion.. As soon as she was apprised of the fact she decided to mark his grave - with a stone which will do honor to ~ his memory. She has given all nec - essary directions, and the order will; Sumter News. [Watchman and ,Southron, Feb. 20.] Solicitor John S. Wilson is representing the State for the first time in Sumter. At this writing he has furnished eight re cruits for the penitentiary, while not one acquittal has been secured. About seven hundred pounds of meat was seized by the police on Monday last. It had been left on the butchers' hands from the previofls Saturday, and the warm wet weather had caused it to sour. Lumber has been ordered to build a depot at Pinewood, the present terminus of the Coast Line extension, and a telegraph line will be put up shortly. The business of the company at that place is at present at tended to by Mr. N. Stack of this city. It is said that the extension is doing a much larger business than was anticipated. Isaac Douglass. a negro brakeman on the W. C. & A. Railroad. and a resident of Sumter, fell from his train last Saturday night, and was killed. He was not missed until the train reached Florence. The 4 o'clock express, south bound,- found the body torn to pieces by the wheels of sever al trains and scattered for some distance along the track near Mayesville. This city had a narrow escape from a cy clone which passed above it on Sunday night. The atmosphere was sultry and nearly as warm as in summer during the early part of the evening. About 11 o 'ock a heavy rain fell. accompanied by high wind and some hail, while the roaring of the storem above was similar to that of a train of cars. The storm touched the ground at the Des Champs place, where it tore the roofs from some houses, demolished fences and up rooted or twisted off hundreds of trees. On last Sunday afternoon, Mr. T. C. Scaffe, t prominent hardware merchant of this -ity, was placed in jail, and on Monday morning he was carried to the Lunatic Asylum at Columbia. Mr. Scaffe has exhib ted unmistakable signs of insanity for soe weeks past, but it was not until last reek that he became dangerous to those Lbout him. It was found impo-sible to con :rol him, and having been adjudged insane, :e was disposed of as above stated. His mania took the form of a conviction that here existed a plot among the members of is household and others to murder him. )n all other subjects his mind was per 'ectly clear. He was delighted at the idea )f going to the asylum, fox there, as he said, ts enemies could not reach him. His riends hope for and expect his early re ;overy. Red and white onion sets at Dinkins .

Bmi~~oRE, Feb. 18.-The little village f Clement Mills is excited over the report d marriage by a Catholic priest of Cather ne Bcc.ll, a young girl, to Miss annah . )older, the daughter of an es-County Comn nissioner. The singular ceremony is said o have been performed in September by he Rev. J. Alfons Frederick, pastor of St. ~arys Church of Clermnont Mills. The li ense was obtained in Baltimore last May r Father Frederick, but nothing was known f the marriage until a few days ago. Oni 'uesday of last week both girls, who had een living at home disappeared. Miss 3eall's father made inquiries and then die overed the startling relationship that exis d between her and Miss Colde Yester lay he came to Baltimore and plaeed the natter into the hands of Marshal of Police Frey. Miss Beall is pretty and vivacious, nd her motive in consenting to such cere nony is a mystery. Miss Colder, it is said, rore an ulster on the evening the marriage as performed, and Father Frederick took ier tobe a man. She is 35 years of age, im, and wears her hair short. Our Baby. Our baby, when two months old, was attacked with Scrofula, whieh for long time destroyed her eyesight en irely, and caused us to despair of er life. The doctors failed to relieve 2er, and we gave Swift's Specific, which soon cured her entirely, and he is now hale and hearty. Will's Point, Tex. Scrofula developed on my daughter -swelling and lumps on her neck. We gave her Swift's Specific, and the result was wonderful and the cure prompt. S. A. DE 'On, - Cleveland, Tenn. Poison Oak. In surveying I accidentally handled a poison oak vine, and in a few hours the usual eruption and swelling ap peared. My face was swollen and disfigured, and my hands and arms seriously affected. I took Swift's Specific and it promptly cured me, and I have had no return of it though this was five years ago. S. S. S. cured my son also of the same poison. E A. BEU. Anderson, S.

KDCGsTBEE, Feb. 23.-The eounty court house at this place was burned yesterday about midday. The fire was discovered an hour before, but too late to save the build ing. The flames were first seen on the roof which leads to the belief that a spark was the cause. As soon as it was known that the building was burning several men en deavored to enter the court room, but owing to the dense smoke they were unable to re main there. Everybody then turned their, attention to the offices in the lower part of the building, and everything of value was removed to a place of safety. The work of cleaning the offices was alto gether useless, as the whole lower portion of the building remains intact; but, of course, this could nut be foreseen. The county re cords are very much mixed up, and the of ficials will be occupied many days in getting them properly arranged. Had it not been for the incessant rain of Thursday, and the north-east wind of yes terday, which blew the fire directly away from the neighboring buildings, the whole business portion of the town would, in all probability, have been destroyed. As the courthouse was securely locked and covered with tin, the fire must have been caused by sparks escaping through rents made by the earthquake in 1886. Several breaks had been made in the chimneys by the earthquake, and had not been re paired. As the courthouse was not insured the loss to the county will amount to $10,000. PHYSICIANS CONFESS. All honest, conscientious physicians who give B. B B. (Botanic Blood Balm) a trial, frankly admit its superiority over Au other blood medicines. Dr. W. J. Adair, Bockmart, Ga., writes: "I regard B. B. B. as one of the best blood medicines." Dr. A. H. Boscoe, Nashville, Tenn., writes: "All reports of B. B. B. are favorable, and its speedy action is truly wonderful." Dr. J. W. Rhodes, Crawfordsville, Ga., writes: "I confess B. B. B. is the best and quickest medicine for rheumatism I have ever tried." Dr. S. J. Farmer, Crawfordsville, Ga., writes: "I cheerfully recommend B. B. B. as a fine tonic alterative. Its use cured an excrescence of the neck after other remedies effected no perceptible good." Dr. C. H. Montgomery, Jacksonville, Ala., writes: "My mother insisted on my getting B. B. B. for her rheumatism, as her case stubbornly resisted the usual remedies. She experienced immediate relief, and her im provement has been truly wonderful" A prominens physician who wishes his name not given, says: "A patient of mine whose case of tertiary syphilis was surely killing him, and which no treatment seemed to check, was entirely cured with about twelve bottles of B. B. B. He was fairly made up of skin and bones and terrible ul cers." WHITE MAN SOLD. We Need Just Such a Law In South Carolina. Nzw On.z&s, La., Feb. 21.-A '7mes Democrat special from Helena, Ark., says: A rather novel proceeding took place on the public square of this city. A white m'n had been fined for carrying concealed weap ons, and he did not desire to go to jail, and did not have enough to pay the fine and costs. Under the law as it now stands, and as the county convict farm has been abolish ed, the white man was put up for sale by the constable (a colored man) and sold. He was bought in at the rate of twenty-five cents per day for as manf days as it would take a prisoner to work out the fine and costs at the rate of seventy-tive cents per day.

The Toys and Sports of a Millionaire. Curious stories come from Ponce de Leon otel, in St. Augustine. Mr. Flagler's ex penditure there now amounts to nearly $6, 00,000. Early in January there were only telve guests in the hotel. Mr. Flagler, however, does not seem diseouraged. He has just bought the railroad running from St. Augustine to Palatka sad from St. Au gstine to Jacksonville. Last Sunday he hanged both of those to broad guage roads, ad shortened the schedules more than one half. He is going to build a bridge over the St. Johns, so that the vestibule trains an rua into St. Augustine from New York without transfer. He is building an opera house in St. Augustine at a cost of $300,000, a magnificent church, and a union depot that will cost about $200,000. THE NEW DISCOVERY. You have heard your friends and neigh bors talk about it. You may yourself be one of the many who know from personal experience just how good a thing it is. If you have ever tried it, you are one of its staunch friends, because the wonderful thing about it is, that when once given a trial, Dr. King's lhew Discovepy ever after holds a place in the house. If you have never used it and should be afflicted with a cough, cold or any Throat, Lung or Chest trouble, secure a bottle at once and give it a fair trial. It is guaranteed every time, or money refunded. Trial Bottles Free at Dinkins & Co.'s Drug Store. A SOUND LEGAL OPINION. E.

The Will of Bishop McTylere. NASuvnzr.E, Tenn., Feb. 22-The late Bishop McTyiere's will has been probated. He leaves $2,500 bank stock and his farm in South Carolina to his wife; a $1,500 bond and the profits from his history of Method ism to his eldest daughter, Mary Gale, and says: "To my other children;.John, Walter, Amelia, Holland, and Janie, I leave no be quest, not for want of love for them, but for want of property. I consider them pro vided for already, or able to provide for themselves. I die poor. 1 leave no treasures here." He also makes three bequests concerning the university. Bishop McTyiere, much to the surprise of many of his acquaintances, leaves very little property. Since 1873,. up.to the time of his death, he received $3,000 a year as Bishop of the Southern Methodist Church, and $3,00@- as president of the board of trust of the Vanderbilt Univesity. His charity was so varied and extensive that he saved practically nothing. His estate, in cluding his South Carolina plantation, is valued at $15,000.

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 tyer, for their strict honor and probity in business. The Shakers believe that na tare has a remedy 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 Dysepsia is a com paratively new 'sease,growing out of the conditions of modern 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-sighted 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 Shaker Extract (Seigel's Syrup) in less complicated though similar 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 can 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 filled to overil owing, all resulting from this alarming disease. Its leading symptomns 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; constipatiott; dry or rough skin ; inability to fix the mind on any labor call ing for -continuous attentioni; and oppressive and sad fore bodings and fears. All this terrible~ group Shaker Extract (Seigel's Syrup) removes by its pos itive, powerful, direct 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 ashes of 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 hope of ever seemng another well day. - The Defunct Sumter Ban k Pays Ont.
