Kalis ky's grocery store, opposite the Court House. Spring advertisements are begin ning to bloom beautifully. We hope next week's Thrs will show -many more full blown ads. M. Kalisky, well known for keeping fresh and strictly best family grocer ies, offers No.1 hams for only 10 cents a pound. Try one. When you have a watch that needs cleaning or repairing, or jewelry to be mended, carry it to G. Alexander's, next to Brown & Co.'s drug suere, and be will do it quick and neatly. One of our popular county officers attempted to ride a horse last week, but was not able to retain his seat, and was found picking himself up off the ground. It happened in the twn. Mr. Gustave Alexander has moved his stoec-of jewelry to the building recently occupied by Mrs. Brown as a millinery store, two doors west of S. A. Rigby's, where he hopes to see many of his friends. Moses Levi speaks for himself this week in a four column advertisement. He means business, and will sell goods at surprisingly low figures. Read his advertisement very carefully. It's worth reading. Work on Pocotaligo causeway is in progress, and has been considerably improved. It is passable now. Oon ty Commissioner Horton says he will doan in his power to put this cause way in first-class condition. Mr. Julius A. Sprott, of Jordan, ac cidentally fell from the new depot platform at Jordan, last Saturday af ternoon, and dislocated his right el-. bow. It is a serious injury, and will confine him to his room for some time. Louis Loyns is opening up his big stock of spring goods anid filling up his shelves with fresh goods. He is too busy this week to write an adver tisement, but begs that his friends wilinot forget himf. He is never two busy to sell good Lemon Miller, a colored msan near Jordan, was arrested last week on a charge of selling whiskey without li cense. He had a preliminary hear ing before Commissioner Clark, and was bound over to appear for trial in the United States court. Judge Louis Appelt last week re eived a special invitation and com plimentary ticket to admit one, to the .---Convention to be held in Richmond, sometime in the near fu ture. It is probable-that if he attenda he wnlbe hoored by a election to the presidency of the convention. Manning can boast of a jewelry store, where will be found all kinds of goods usually kept ia such an estak lshment, such as gold and silver watches, gold rings,. diamonds and other valuable stones, silver plated ware, toilet and faney goods, collar buttons, cuff buttons,~ gekd pens and pencils, badges ad pins,-well it is useless for us to endesvor to tell what Mr. Alexander does keep. What you want go-to his store for,. if,.perohance, ou should. happen to ask for some thing he hasn't got, he is very accom odating,. and will order at once, and sell to von, cheap. Read Talmage's sermon this week. It is unusually fine, and choke full of good sense. Two Italian tramps were run over by a train near Charleston and killed. They had been drinking whiskey, and got on the track just before the train reached them. On account of not being sufficiently drilled to enter the prize contest, to be held in Jacksonville, Fla., next week, the Manning Guards have de cided not to attend the Inter-State drilL Isaac Cain, a well-to-do colored man of Jordan, had his smoke house broken into last Monday night, and some bacon stolen therefrom. Isaac thinks he has located the thief and got a search warrant yesterday from Trial Justice Benbow. A Mad Stone. Mr. R. D. Thames, of Jordan, showed us last week a small calcareous substance, some what larger th-n a partridge's egg. which. he says, is a genuine mad stone. It was ob tained from the stomach of a deer killed in Berkeley county some time ago. The stone has a broken surface on one side. It was, says Mr. Thames, attached to the stomach of the deer on the side where this broken surface is. Mr. Thames tells us that these stones are found only in the stomachs of deer. A mad stone is said to have the pow er of absorbing the poison of a mad dog's bite. Cheap Insurance. The insurance feature connected with the Knights of Pythias is said to be the cheap est and safest yet. The order of Knights of Pythias itself is principally of a benevolent kind. Weekly benefits are paid its sick members; funeral expenses of a deceased member are paid; the widow of a deceased member gets a quarterly allowance; etc. The Endowment Rank (insurance feature) is now organized, and in good working or der. The following are the officers: President-J. A. Mills. Vice President-James E. Davis. Secretary-S. A. Nettles. The Endowment Rank meets to-morrow evening, in Castle Ball, at 71 o'clock. The Dime Reading Last Week. The dime reading last Friday evening, at Mr. J. E. Scott's, for the benefit of the ladies' missionary society of the Presbyte. church was a success, financially and soci ally. There was an excellent program, and it was well carried out. The exercises were opened with a song by a chorus of a little girls, followed by an instrumental duet by Misses Lily Scott and Tillie Wolkoviskie. Mrs. H. A. Lowry recited the "Death of Absalom." Misses Anna Stansill and Lizzie Benbow rendered a vocal duet, "The Fish erman and his Child." Miss Daisy Bagnal recited "Asleep at the Switch." Miss Tillie Wolkoviskie rendered an instrumental solo, which was followed by a chorus song by a bevy of little girls. All was well executed, and the evening was most enjoyably spent. There was a large attendance, the receipts being something more than seven dollars. The Manning Cemetery. The want of interest in the Manning cem etery is a phenomenon that cannot be ex plained. Is it a want of care? Do those who have loved ones there forget the grate ful remembrance at death, the acts of kind ness, sacrifices, and love of those sleeping there, and only sleeping for a while? Is it not a simple, happy duty to see that their raves are kept beautiful and attractive and not a deserted wilderness where some few graves are scarcely recognizable. A few have been faithful and constant, but even their efforts are being destroyed by Sunday visitors who break limbs from the :eautiful shrubbery and put them on graves, r carry thena off. It has simply reached that point at which something must be done. There is not a acant lot in the cemetery; hence, if our burying grounds are not enlarged thos who have not lots will have to go elsewhere. There was a meeting of those interested some months ago, and a oommittee was ap pointed to have the charter renewed, as the ld charter had expired. The clerk of courte says that this new charter may be obtained at any time. Why not now? Ca-rrow. FOR ESTON NEWS. Niew Town Counil-Another School, reacher-i'rize Corn-Other Matters. FonSTsose, April 1.-The new council took >ath of offiee to-day. As our streets and drains have been sadly neglected, it is to be hoped something will soon be done to remedy their dilapidated appearance. The academy reopened this morning un der the management of Mr. Joseph H. Montgomery. The prospects are bright, ad we hope soon to have as ne a schwoo as can be found in any section of the State. Mr. Hudgins is planting hius prize acre. He certainly has it in fine condition, and if he fails to receive the prize it will not be for lack of energy and perseverance. Other farmers are putting in the seed, hoping ere long to bring in the golden sheaves. Our children gave an entertainment at the academy on Friday evening last, to raise funds to buy a Bible for the Baptat church.. A very handsome sum was realized,. suffic ient for the purpose. Oysters, .&e., at the next Masenis' meeting,. which will be Tuesday before the full moon,. at 8o'clock r. . F. JordamStill a Booming. Jona,. April 1.-Spring, beautiful spring is here, though winter lingered in her lap till the last. The farmers are hard at wek putting in corn and potatoes. By the way,. sweet po tat seed is very scarce,. and these who are so fortunate as to have to spare sheuid~ let it be known. Oats are looking fine so far as seen. We enjoyed a stroll at Jordan last .week. Verily, Jordan will never be a sea port town, but it will get there just the same. The business men there are alive, up, and doing. Mr. Editor, if you don't believe that the Jor danites are a elever hospitable people you just attend the second quarterly meeting of Foreston circuit which convenes there on the 13th and 14th,. and be convinced. The ktethodist chureh is largely attended,. and has a large membership. and its a treat to attend. the Sunday-schooL. The young people are doing their part. They have a juvenie Missionary society called Palmetto Leaes that is doing good work. The offi cers of this society are: Miss Elmna Davis. president;. Claude Lesesne, Treasurer; Miss Jeanet, Wells, secretary. And the sch~ool there-well some arc of the opinion that Miss Josie McLean is just the best teacher to be found any where, and the writer is among that number. So you see Jordan has many advantages, and is. SUMMERTON NEWS. Railroads Coming-A Small but Daring Robbery-Other Matters. I SUMMx'rO, April 1.-We have had a week of delightful spring weather Most of the corn has been planted. An other week of fair weather will bring the farmers up with their work. Wilson has his road cut through tc Summerton, and as soon as he gets the curve made and the trestle across Taw Caw, we will have the long look ed for iron horse in Summerton. The trestle in Santee swamp, on the Eu' tawville Railroad, is being built. We understand the road will be to Sum merton by July. More Western corn and bay are be ing bought in this part of the coun try than has been since 1881. Cantey, a colored man keeping a little shop near Col. Benbow's, was robbed a few nights ago by three men in disguise. They called him up, and one of the party held him while the other two took hi: goods, he says to the amount of twenty-five or thirty dollars. The parties are still at large. Mr. W. W.

C.. 181 Pearl st., N. Y Samoa. The Samoan islands are distant about two weeks' journey by steamer from San Francisco. The soil is ex tremely fertile, the principal exports being cocoanuts and cotton. Many years ago Germany, intent on estab lishing herself in the west Pacific, se cured extensive plantations on the cultivable islands. Her commercial interests there are greater than those of any other nation. The Samoan irade is mostly in the hands of Ham burg merchants. Great Britian has also some commerce, the United States very little. Great Britian, Germany, and the United States have treaties of trade and friendship with Samoa. The American coaling station of Pago is on the south side of the is land of Tutuila. The most important island is, how ever, that of Upolu, on the north side of which is Apia, a town of a few hundred inhabitants. The foreign consuls live at Apia. It has been the general impression that Germany desired to establish a protectorate over the islands, although her treaty with England, made in 1886, precludes this. The two na tions defined the boundaries of terri tories acquired by each in the West Pacific ocean. The treaty expressly declared that the Samoan and other groups of islands named should be neutral territory. The Samoan government was until recently a monarchy, at the head of which was King Mantaafa. But a portion of his subjects rebelled, and endeavored to set up Tamasese as king. For two years past the islands have been in a state of strife and dis order exceedingly unfavorable to commerce.-Charleston Sun. THE INVALIDS HOPE. Many seemingly incurable cases of blood poison, catarrh. scrofula and rheumatism have been cured by B. B. B. (Botanic Blood Balm), made by the Blood Balm Co., Atlan ta, Ga. Write to them for book filled with convincing proof. G. W. B. Raider, living seven miles from Athens, Ga., writes- "For several years I suffered with running ulcers, which doctors treated and pronounced incurable. A single bottle of B. B. B. did me more good than all the doctors. I kept on using it and every ulcer healed." D. C. Kinard & Son, Towaliga, Ga., writes: "We induced a neighbor to try B. B. B. for catarrh, which he thought incura ble, as it had resisted all treatment. It de lighted him, and continuing its use he was cured sound and well." R. M. Lawson, East Point. Ga., writes: "My wife had scrofula 15 years. She kept growing worse. She lost her hair and her skin broke out fearfully. Debility, emacia tion and no appetite followed. After phy sicians and numerous advertised medicines failed, I tried B. B. B., and her recovery was rapid and complete." Oliver Secor, Baltimore, Md., writes: "I suffered from weak back and rheumatism. B. B. B. has proven to be the only medicine that gave me relief." Parasols in endless variety 25c up.
