THE MANNING TMES. S. A. NETTLES, Editor, WEDNESDAY, KAR?l6, 1889. PRESIDENT HARRISO. Benjamin Harrison was inaugurated President of the United States last Monday. It was a very inclement day in Washington, the rain fal'ing heavily throughout the inaugural cer emony. President Harrison's inaugural was delivered immediately after he took the oath of office. It is an able paper, free of rhetoric, but clear in meaning. We have not time or space in this is sue to give the address, or to com ment on it at length. He will have no special Southern policy. We think he will make a good president, but a short time will prove that, one way or the other. He believes in a pure bal lot So do we all, and we hope to see it, both in the North and South. At present each section has its fail ings. But for bribery and the buying of votes Harrison would not now be president. His cabinet was not announced Monday, but will very probably be as follows: Secretary of State-James G. Blaine of Maine. Secretary of the Treasury-William Windom of New York and Minnesota. Secretary of War--Redfield Proctor of Vermont. Secretary of the Navy-B. F. Tracy ecf New York. - .Beeretary of the Interior-John W. Noble of Missouri. Postmaster-General-John Wana mnaker of Pennsylvania. Secretary of Agriculture-Jere Rusk of Wisconsin. Attorney General-W. H. H. Mil ler of Indiana. EXERTLWLBAD INLUENCE. The Universityof the State of South Carolina seems to be an institution calculated to fither the best interests of the Stae to a very small extent. TheyuseesoNorti to elect Repub lican professors to instruct our young men, and these instaetors are making Abek influence felt. We have in the Sa some .tbe iest instructors in the md, yet the claims of our thoroughly competent and loyal Southerners are ignered, and radical Republicans put in the University to siEil Yankee ideas into our young men's heads,.and-to foist in our own eons auch p indples as to make them enemies of the-State.

U Tniversity continues to de s?~jmeh evilsentiments and doings future, as in the past ,six -doith, it woutld have been far-better ahd the University never been resur Zt is time for our legidators to take 'the matter in hand, a.nd see that the State be not compelled to foster in :its own bosom avenomous reptile that will~ endeavor' to destroy it. It is *time for the people to rise in their might, and denounce such an inisti tution. JUSGE ALDRICU AGAINl. The Columbiacarrespondent -of the 2Kews and Coure interviewed Judge Aldrich in Columbia last Saturday with reference to the reports that he was drank in Sumter, when he held enurt there last year, and as to the isport of his resignation. Here is the rzesult of the interview: The Judge was lookingas well as he has - donae for years, althoug he was suffering from -the effects of a falseveral months ago, cused by a misstep while descending the stp of a hotel in Sumter. '~pyn to the inquiry as to his reported heinton, Judge Aldrich said that imme diately after his re-election three years ago -hebhd told the membersf hs famlythat he would not again be a candidate for the Bench,:pud that he had since infor-mcd va *rious friends, of his determination. This was thoroughly understdod, he thought, by the gentlemen:who would be candidates for - the position upon his retirement. He was now 7-years old, and did not fmnd it pleas ant to spend so much time away from home. He had never, however, entertained or ex pressed the intention of resigning his of fice. His terma would not las.ta year longer. -.and he felt able to perform his duties until the close of that period. The LegialIature next December would choose his successor. Judge Aldrich referred pith some amuse ment to the reports of his inability to tran mact the business which came before him. He had not recently, he said, lost an hour -out of court,~ad thought that in the dis patch of business be had been maintaining -his previous record. In the course of further conversation Judge Aldrich said that some of his friends -had asked him what coursie he intended to take in reference to the accusations brought against him by one or two newspapers, to the effect that he had takcn too much to drink at the Sumter court, and that he had-replied that,hokhling the offce which he did, and having, the life- record which he possessed, he was- willing to let these charges go to the people for s'hat thxey were worth, and. let them judge,. with their kniowledge of the characters oo. aocusers and accused. He was unable to conceive of any foundation for these stories except that it was his habit,.about 1 o'clock in the day, to take a rec - of about five minutes for she purps takmng a luncheon, which, as was customuary, included a glass of toddy. -He held his sessions fromn 10 A--M. to 4 P. x., and he found. that he worked better when he broke this long perod- of fasting. .He had taken this. refreshment in Sumter 'as he had done in Charleston and other .places without conce alment. He supposed that his taking a toddy had shocked some total ab. tainer. . Two weeks ago we published an article from the Sumter Watchman, of which the following is a part: noen .Tnhe Aldrich last presided in Sumter, his conduct gave great offense to the people in more ways than one. What z this conduct was, it is- needless to explair' here. The city was full of people and they will remember it. So great was the dissat isfaction that the Tatchman and oidhron < was called upon to suppress communica tions strongly censuring His Honor. This was not a transient feeling, for at the next term of court the grand jury proposed to in corporate in its presentment the grounds of complaint and recommend a remedy. This came to the ears of Judge Pressley, then presiding, and he, after vainly endeavoring, t by the use of of authority and persuasion, to prevail upon the grand jury to forego their intention, finally declared that, to his certain knowledge, the resignation of Judge fi Aldrich had been written. and was in the t hands of the proper parties; and that there fore the proposed presentment could effect nothing. Upon hearing this the grand jury very gladly said nothing. O this resignation, if it ever existed, and the character of Judge Pressley precludes the idea that it never did, ::rti ing has since been heard. The two do not agree. Judge Aldrich, Judge Pressley, or the Sum ter Wakhrman is in error. Which? Judge Hudson proposes that three t fourths of a petit jury be' authorized to find a verdict. Bamberg had quite a small pox scare last week, but it turned out to be chicken pox. Florence has eight barrooms, each r paying $500 town license, $100 State license, and $25 U. S. license, a grand total of $5,000. The Florentines do love liquor. The custom of tolling the bells of steamboats while passing Grant's grave on the Hudson has been adopt ed by a few boats, in imitation of the F custom among steamboat men on the Potomac, when passing Washington's grave at Mount Vernon. The most fashionable slang phrase of the day. is, "in the soup." It sim ply means to be or to get in trouble. For instance, in the face of what was done in Washington last Monday, the great Democratic party of these Unit ed States may emphatically be said to be "in the soup." The principal watermelon growers h of this State have formed a water melon trust, and unless satisfactory rates with the railroads can be made, t they will not raise this year as many ' watermelons as usual. The water melon trust of this State represents C more than five thousand acres, and a they want to make more moiey than t beretofore. C Some persons imagine it an easy ( thing to run a paper, and that there p is a fortune in it. May be so. Ev erybody thinks he could Eo better than the'one who does run it. May c be so again. But then experience is I a great thing. It's much easier to start a paper, or buy one out, than it is to keep it running, and make itpay t expenses. And now comes the Richmond Di. patch with this personal description of President-elect Harrison: "Gen. Har- i rison is a b .ely, squatty little man, I with a swayback nose, grizzly beard, rotund middle ground, and short ex tremities. Of all the Presidents he f has the shportest legs, and when he sits in Washington's chair his toes will not touch the first round."

Riddleberger, Republican senator from Virginia, so disgraced himself in the senate chamber ls Saturday, that he had to be forcibly taken out of the senate chamber by the sergeant at arms and a deputy.1 He was drunk, and had been drunk for several days. He got vexed with the president of the Senate, in the morning, and all through the day by his drunken conduct, he hindered leg islation. There was a large crowd of visitors from all parts of the Union, wowitnessed this disgraceful scene.1 The Bishopville Enterprise, a spicy little paper published in Bishopville, Sumter county, by Shepard Nash, has, for want of pecuniary support, sus pended publication.

(Ckarkston World.] The condition of the roads in Sumter county is worse than I have ever known. Near Statesburg a horse can swim where the road formerly was. In Rafton's Creek township, the other day, a wagon contain ing a negro woman and her child overturn ed in the road. The child fell into a mud hole and was drowned. This state of af. fairs is not the result of neglect so much as of the character of the season which has I been, and still is wet beyond comparison. It is now March, and not only many miles of road, but also thousands of acres of land, which is usually "turned" by this time, are under water. Hauling is attended in some instances, with positive danger, while plowing is impossible. A settled gloom pervades all business and will until the dreary ceaseless rain gives plac to sun shine.

I feel likge another person." James. W. Lancaster, Bawkinsville, Ga., writes. "My wife was in bad health for eight years. Five doctors and many patent niedicines had done her no good. Six bot tles of B. B. B. cured her." Miss S. Tomlinson, Atlanta, Ga., says: "For years I suffered with rheumatism, caused by kidney trouble and itndigestion, I also was feeble and nervous. B. B. B. re lieved me. at once, although several other medicines had failed." Rev. 3. M1. Richardson, Clarkston, Ark., writes: "My wife suffered twelve years with rheumatism and female complaint. A lady member of my chureh had been cured by B. B. B. She-persuaded my wife to try .it, who now says there is nothing like B. B. B., as it quickly gave her relief."

Perhaps no enterprise of any Southern ewspaper has ever met with the favor that as been accorded the latest plan of The Vorld-Budget Company, 6f Charleston, S. for further extending the circulation of lieu three publications, the Daily World, lie Weekly Wrid, and the Sunday Budget. 'he subscription prices are respectively even dollars, two dollars and a half, and ne dollar, per annum. Thei Weekly World and the Sunday Budget re twelve-page (72 columns) papers, while lie Daily World consists of eight pages (48 olumns) each day. All of the publications of the World-Budget ompany are beautifully printed on good aper from brand new type, and are, con eently, particularly legible. The plan referred to is this: On the first av of July, of this year, the World.Badget o'mpany will distribute the sum of two undred and fifty dollars ix c.rsH to the even persons who shall have sent in, be een February 20, 1889, and July 1, 1889, Lie largest sums of money for subscriptions r rrEE On ALL of their publications, thus utting persons in the country and city on recisely the same footing in this novel com etition. At first sight it would appear difficult to nagine how these enterprising Charleston ublishers can expect to "get their money ack," but the solution is not difficult lo nd. The premiums (which are divided into the allowing amioufits: $100, $30, S35, $25, $20, 15, and $5) may all be wvon by persons who robably will not have sent in, up to July 1, iore than twenty or thirty dollars altogeth r. Therefore, people living in smaller vil iges and hamlets will stand just as good a hanee of winning the premiums as will Lose who live in the city. It is even pos ibie that the first prize of one hundred ollars may be won by someone, the total mount of whose subscriptions may not ex eed ten . dollars. Therefore, no one should be deterred from ying.

But do we all, know that we die by eating ? It is. said we dig our graves with our teeth. How foolish this sounds. Yet it is fearfully true. We are ter rified at the approach of the cholera and yellow fever, yet there is a dis ease constantly at our doors and in our houses far more dangerous and destructive;. Most people have in their own stomachs a poison, more slow, but quite. as fatal lathe germs of those maladies, whieh sweep men into eternity by thousands without warting in the times, of great epi demics. But it is a mercy that, if we are watchful, we can- tell when we are threatened. The following are among the symptoms, yet they do not always necessarily appear m the same order, nor are they always the same in different cases. 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 mind; no ambition to study or work; more or less head ache and heaviness in the head; dizziness on rising to the feet or moving suddenly; furred and coat ed 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 spots that seem to be swimming in the air before the eyes; a cough, with a greenish-colored expecto ration; poor nights' rest; a sticky slime about the teeth and gums; hands and feet cold and clammy; irritable temper and bowels bound up and costive. This disease has puzzled the physicians and still puz zles them. It is the commonest of ailments 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 l rally starved, even when there is nc emaciation to tell the sad story. Experienco has shown that thereir put one remedy that can certainly cure this disease in all its stages, namely, Shaker Extract of Roots or Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup.
