TEMANNING TMS. S. A. NETTLES, Editor. WEDNESDAY, MAY 29, 1889, 'RAISE COLTS. In a conversation last Saturday with Mr. J. Furman Bradham, who lives near this place, he told us of a fine colt he owns, only fourteen months old, that he is plowing. He scraped an acre of cotton with this colt in just one hour and ten minutes. Who can beat it? Mr. Bradham is one of the largest stock raisers in the county, and he seldom raises anything but blooded stock. He raises and sells fine Jersey cattle, and now has a favorite cow that gives nineteen quarts of milk a day. But to go back to the colt. A number of our progressive farmers are raising colts, with considerable suc cess and profit. In fact it costs very little to raise a colt. The mare when in foal and while raising the colt can for most of the time be worked on the farm. Every year thousands and thous ands of dollars are spent in this coun ty for horses and mules, at an average cost of $140 to $150. Two thirds of this amount could be saved 'to the county if our farmers would raise their own stock. It is not convenient for every one to raise colts, we hear some one say. All bosh! It is con venient and practicable for any and every farmer to raise colts. We have in mind a certain Methodist preacher, who always travelled large circuits, having- from twelve to eighteen ehrrches, and taking four weeks to make the round, and who raised a number of colts. After his mare had foaled, he would let her rest ten days or two.weeks and then hitch her to his sulky for a drive of twenty or thirty miles a day, the colt thriving on the drive. By the time the colt was th old he would accustom it to the alte, and halter it to its dam's side onhese drives. The colt knew nothing else than to be gentle, and never had to be broken to the saddle, harneus, or plow. Simply put it at the work, and it would do it. For forty odd years this preacher pursued this coarse successfully, raising many very fine colts. We say if this preacher d raise colts under these disad any farmer ought to be able If our county is to be p we must raise our own horses an mules, beef and bacon, corn and hay. TOWN COUNCIL REPORTS. The Sumter papers are freely dis eussing the action of the council of of that city in posting up the ordi mances on the court house, instead of pulsig them in a newspaper. Thtwo papers of that city offer to do the work jointly for less than the regular rates of either. But the council refuses to have the ordinances published, preferring to have them -stuck up on houses. mtrcotempo 'res ought ~~M 'zn a sort while. Our town counclf 't publih o post their ordinances, oua, and have prposed o~ur coun dito publish teir ordinances at their - own figures, or to publish them free, 'm 'as our reason that we thought people ought to know the or dinances and if council thought the exes of advertising would be ananawe would do it for noth ~ing. We have been here nearly seven ears, and two years they have adver timed. One year in 1884 they paid us $50, and another year, the next we think, we insised on doing it for nothing, rather than for less, but thytold us we had to charge or te'not give it tous, so we ddit * 60 125. The work is worth about #2or $15. Last year we tried to etcouncil to advertise, offering to &the work at their own figures, but sgeted hat it be given the two ppeshere for $80. There was some hitch and we could never get Spublished two annual re for the two preceeding years, !but the reports were so condensed that they gave practically no informa tion to the people. We now publicly renew our offers: (1) To publish the ordinances and re ports for nothing; (2) To publish at any price to induce them to publish ordinances and reports; (3) For ~pershere to publish the ordi Wcsand reports for $80; (4) To do 'nyway council wants to do. We write this article in all earnest ness and kindness, and hope council will take some action in the matter. -"nother year has passed without a report. The people, while they have all confidence in council, like to know bow the money goes, but they had rather haveno repor.. thian such as heretofore have been published. They 6n an itemized report. The propo ons above are for this year. If cnpil will publish an itemized report eawe think we can safely -sy th papers in town will pub 1shsaid'report free, or for any such sum as council sees fit to pay. The -clerk of council is p'd a good salary, h~dit would not tae him very long make out an itemized report. DOF~T IILL ALL THE GRASS. Elsewhere will be found an inter esting communication from one .of our nyst prosperous and progressive farmers, Capt. Jos. Sprott, on the cul tivation of hay. Every year the far mers and others of this county im port several thousand dollars worth of hay. The idea seems ridiculous, but it is a stern reality. Our peo ple spend the entire summer try ng to destroy what they will buy the following winter. One acre of land with very little attention will produce more hay than will be con sumed on the average farm. Hay is much better provender than fodder, e entire cultivation and gather less than that of fodder. bracast will improve every best kind ethis crop a can the corn and hay and pease and oats that are used in the county. Plant twice as much as will supply home needs, and the surplus can be easily sold to less thoughtful neighbors, and to those not engaged in farming. We hope Capt. Sprott will very shortly tell us more about the culti vation of pease, and we invite any one to send us papers on this and kindred subjects. Such discussions will result in good. A CANING FACTORY. There is some talk in town about organizing a canning factory. Just the idea. There will be large quan tities of fruit this year, and a canning factory would make money. This county consumes a quantity of canned fruits, and if the factory made just enough to supply the county it would make money. It would, we are told, cost about $2,000 or $2,500 to start such a factory. What we need in Manning to boom her along is enterprise. Let our bus iness men take hold, furnish the bulk of the capital, and organize several manufacturing establishments. Every thing of the kind will help the town. Our Cylinder Press. We feel a good deal of pride in the fact that we are the first in Clarendon, Sumter, or Williamsburg, to buy a cylinder power press. They costa good deal of money, and do much faster and better printing than the old style Washington hand press. Our office is the only one in the three counties named above, that is wholly supplied with power presses. All our newspaper and job work is now done on power presses. We had our press in office last week in time to print our last issue, and according to promise the paper was duly enlarg ed and printed on the cylinder press. With the aid of that competent and efficient mechanic, Rob't Dean, our force got the press properly set up. We didn't say much about it last week because we didn't know how it would act, (and a good many papers were imperfectly printed at first,) but the press works beautifully now, and we can freely brag on it. Our paper is printed beautifully. And we can didly think it is improved, too. Compare it with other county papers of the State: it will not suffer very of ten. We are spending time and money on the paper; our friends and correspondents are helping us; and if the citizens of the county will but rally to our support we will pledge them a good paper. But it takes money to get power p enlarge papers, etc. We g-only ~$50 for the paper. all candor, friend, don't you ought to subscribe and pay this . , simply to help and encourage us, but 'Uy to supply your own family with a g ewspa per, instead of borrowing it fro e one else to read? And even if yo don't borrow it, don't you think you might mike an investment of three cents a week for your county paper? We may, and very probably shall, dur ing the year, say something with which you can't agree. T3hat's all right., You don't expect us to have no opinion of our own. If we have an opinion, and think best and prop er to express it, in the p_ '.-ow regardless ne u that of a paper. The most ootonous thing mn th6 world is the person who never differs from you in his views. We aregoing to work for the lys interests of the people of Clarendon, or what we conceive to be their beet interests. There are several hundred good men in this county that ought to be subscribers to the Tnnrs, and we want them. Will not our friends help us to get them? We have got our paper as big as we want it. It will hold all we want to put in-it, but we want, between now and the fourth of July, about two hundred and fifty more cash subscribers, to make out that three hundred. Won't our friends help us to get them? Queen Victoria celebrated her se'r entieth birthday last week. The survey of D~zrlington county has demonf~skeddI~e fact that it con tar:.mr than the necessary 625 square miles. The Southern Press Association, composed of the daily papers of the South, met last week in Chattanooga, Tenn. The next meeting will be held in Charleston next year. The Presbyterian General Assem bly declined last week to express an opinion as to the doctrine of eternal reprobation, but referred the matter to the various State synods and pres byteries for their expression of opin ion first. The Clemson Will contest has vir tually been settled, and the property will goto th State, according to Mr. Clemson's desire, for the proeof establishing a farmers' colg. The matter will possibly go to teU. S. Supreme court, but that tribunal will very likely comfirm the decision be low. In a year or two the college will be ready for work. The farmers have secured a victory and are to be congratulated. The State Democratic Executive Committee meets in Columbia to morrow night, to elect a member of the National Democratic Executive Committee to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Capt. F. W. Dawson. Several gentlemen of the State are prominently spoken of for the posi tion, among whom are Brawley, of Charleston, Haskell, of Columbia, and Benet, of Abbeville. Senator Joseph F. Rhame, of this place, will attend the meeting. At Middletown, Conn., Olin J. Clark has a curiosity which he thinks is the next thing to being a miracle. Last fall he felled an old clierry tree, ut it into cordwood and threw the sticks in a pile into his woodhouse. The other day he happened to look at the sticks, which had become season ed, and was astonished to note that several of the sticks were covered with perfect cherry blossoms. Twigs had put out from the old logs, and the flowers were on them. Such vi tality in wood is unprecedented. Mr. Clark has left the blossoms untouch ed, humoring a speculation that they may develop fruit. in need of a safe or other article tur get Mr. H. R. Meldan to o.He does very fine -and does it very tifn1 safe. New York Fashion Bazar. The June number of the New York Fash ion Bazar is more attractive than usual. It anticipates the coming season of light and graceful toilets for the watering-place and mountain-side by presenting a charming array of midsummer fashions. The new fabrics and styles for real hot weather, the zephyrs, ginghams, embroidered organdie muslins, Chambery batistes, lawns, and the open-work tissues from far India, make an enchanting array, fresh, refined, and luxu rious. The summer styles for children are full of beauty and variety. The June num ber contains the continuation of the excel lent serials by Edna Lyall, Maxwell Gray,. and W. Heimburg, and a great variety of interesting miscellany. A sample copy will be sent to any address on receipt of 25 cents by the publisher, George Munro, 17 to 27 Vandewater Street, New York. By subscription $3 per year. How the Poor are Fed in Georgetown. We make the following extract from the Presentment of the Grand Jury, at the re cent term of court held in Georgetown. The diet is certainly an economical one, and there is evidently but little attention to the divine precept that 'cleanliness is next to godliness': We found the poor house contained nine paupers, three men and six women-one of them white. The house is very poorly supplied with bedding-there is but little of it and that little of the meanest and dirtiest. The people in the house are poorly clad, indeed they are both ragged and dirty. There is some reason to fid the people and place dirty, because they have only five cents worth of soap a month for nine peo ple and for all purposes. We present the following list which com prises the monthly rations of nine people: Six g bushels meal..................$4.50 Twelve pounds beef................. 1.20 Two poundssugar................... 20 One pound coffee..... .............. 25 Three pounds bacon................. 25 Four quartsrice..................... 35 Two quarts molasses.............. 20 One gallon oil.................. 15 One piece of soap................... 05 Total..... $7.15 The dieting of nine persons cost the coun ty $7.15, which is only about eighty cents a month for each pauper. If this showing has no other merit, it is certainly in proof that the county commissioners support our poor with very great economy. Free Graded Schools in Other Places. It may be news to some of our readers to know that difficulties are some times expe rienced in other towns, in the free graded school business. Anderson is a place far larger and more wealthy than Manning. The last issue of the Anderson Journal says: The petition asking for a convention of taxpayers to consider the propriety of levy ing a special tax to establish a graded school, having failed to secure the signa tures of a majority of the resident free holders of the city, the school trustees will not order the convention. Camden, too, is a place of considerable wealth; yet that town is not able to run a free graded school, as the following from the Wateree Mess The sehoo announ tax to run onhin the year. It will be many years before Manning will be able to have a free graded schooL Mr. Yonmans, En-District Attorney. Mr. Youmrans is an honorable gentleman, and has made an egici.en ,offLce .hJ g 1e Columbia.Begister is a de served tribute to his valuable services: In retiring from the offce of District At torney, Col. Youmans will carry with him not only the consciousness of a faithful dis charge of duty, but the approbation of the entire people of South Carolina-that is, of that p~ortion of the people whose good opin ion is worth an g. During Colonel Yonians's incumbecy, for the first time Isince the war, the Federal Courts in South ICarolina had the respect of the people. Un Ider the Bepublican administration these courts were but parts of the political ma chine that helped to run the national gov ernment. The temptation to imitate the Republicans in their use of the courts might have been strong, but for the high character of men like Colonel Youmans, and the determination of the new administra tion to end the scandalous condition of the Federal system in this State. Itis especial ly creditable to the people, and to the Fed eral offcials as well, that the laws of the United States have' been more effectively ad ministered than was the case in the days of Bepublican ascendency, and that the Fed eral government is to-day more respected in South Caroina than at any period since the war. In bringihg about this state of feeling, Colonel Yonmans has contributed greatly by his fairness, good sense, dis crimination, and fearlessness in the dis charge of every duty. IT IS A CURIOUS FACT That the body is now more susceptible to ben'efit from medicine than at any other season. Hence the importance of taking Hood's Sarsaparilla now, when it will do you themost good. It is really wonderful for purifying and enriching the blood, cre ating an appetite, and giving a healthy tone to the whole system. Be sure to get Hood's Sarsaparilla which is peculiar to itself. An Abbeville Lawyer Killed by his Wife's 'Step Father. AmBvrraz. May 25.--D. Lucien Mabry, a member of the Abbeville bar, aoout 26 years of age, was shot and killed this morning by John T. Lyon. the step father of Mabry's wife. There has been ill feeling between the two men for some time. Last night they had some words. This morning, directly after 7 o'clock, Mr. Lyon was seen to enter the village academy, by which Mr. Mabry had to ps on his way to his office, with a double-barrelled shot gun in his hands. He is reported to have said he had the gun to give to some boys who were going squirrel hunting. When Mr. Mabry approachred the academy Mr. Lyon stepped out and said: "Do you want to fight?" levelling his gun. "No," said Mabry, "but if you shoot you are a d--n coward." Lyon at once discharged one barrel of his g, which was loaded with buckshot, the chrestriking Mabry in the head. As Mary fell he said: "Don't shoot. Iam killed," but Lyon discharged the other bar rel, the charge of which hit Mabry and he expired almost immediately. Mr. Lyon then carried his gnto Joel Smith's and said: "I have kil Maby" Eleven wounds were found on Mabry's head, neck and chest. Public feeling is di vided, but all deplore the deed. The victim of the tragedy was a promis ing young luwyer, 26 years of age, a graduate of Wofford College and the University of Virginia. Lyon is about sixty-two years old.

Kelley1 were riding out, one of the pins that attach the shafts to the vehicie dropped out, the horse became frightened and unmanageable. They were all thrown out. Mrs. Scarborough liad her foot broken, their little boy had his thigh broken, the little infant was knocked senseless, and Col. Scarborough and Mr. Kelley were both considerably bruised. Mrs. Scarborough has been suffering in tensely ever since the accident. We are pleased to state that all the others are get ting along very well.--Bishom-ple Egle. $1000 Reward. One thousand dollars will be paid to any chemist who will find on an alysis of S. S. S. (Swift's Specific) one particle of mercury, iodide of potash, or any poisonous substance. In 1873 1 contracted blood poison, which soon developed into its sever est secondary form, with blotches and ugly sores all over my body, which totally disabled me for more than a year. The doctors treated me all the time without benefit. The disease steadily growing worse and worse, I was unable to work for more than a year; finally was persuaded to take Swift's Specific. After taking seven bottles I was sound and well, and have not felt a sympton of the dis 'ease since. This was sixteen years ago. JOE VAUGEN. Forsyth, Ga., Jan. 23, 1889.

C., May 25.-The County Farmers' Alliance held a meeting here to day. Forty-one sub-alliances were repre sented. The number of delegates was one hundred and twenty, thus representing over twelve hundred members of the order in the county. The proceedings were of course secret. But it is known that they pledged themselves not to use any jute bag gixg as long as they can procure cotton bag ging for their cotton-and they ordered 50,000 yards of cotton bagging for the next crop. The Alliance is in a flourishing condition and it is predicted that by fall there will be 2,000 members. It is claimed that at near ly every meeting of the sub-alliances new members are initiated. The alliance has not yet selected any merchants with whom to deal. There is more catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put to gether, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by con stantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's catarrh cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a tea spoonful. It acts directly upon the blood and mucus surface of the sys fer one hundred dollars for to cure. Send for circulars a Address, F. J. CHENz p'Sold by druggi The Ne WA~a day ap T ps.

Lathrop, at Rockf rd-.Hesafg He was adm dir t r in Illinois in 1871, n ~came to South Carolina in 1878 on ac count of his health, and finding the climate beneficial made Orangeburg his home and married Miss Mattie Heidtman, of this place. By integrity, industry and close ap p lication he has built up a fine practice. ai brother, William Lathrop, has been a member of Congress. Mr. Abial Lathrop is held in high esteem by our people, regard less of party. He has never been active in politics here, generally coinciding with the Democrats for good local government, but always voting the National Republican ~ticket. CONVINCING PROOF. In many instances it has been proven that B. B. B., (Botanic Blood Balm), made by Blood Balm Co., Atlanta, Ga., will cure blood poison in its worse phases, even when all other treatment fails. A. P. Brunson, Atlanta, Ga., writes: "I had 24 running ulcers on one leg and 6 on the other, and felt getly prostrated. I be lieve I actually swalowed a barrel of medi cine, in vain efforts to cure the disease. With little hope I linally acted on the urent advice of a friend, and got a bottle of B. B. B. I experienced a change, and my despondency was somewhat dispelled. I kept using it until I had taken sixteen bottles, and all the ulcers, rheumatism, and all other horrors of blood poison have dis appeared, and at last I am sound and well again, after an experience of twenty years of torture." Robt. Ward, Maxey, Ga., writes: "My disease was pronounced a tertiary form of blood poison. My face, head, and shoul ders were a mass of corruption, and finally the disease began eating my skull bones. My bones ached; my kidneys were deranged; I lost flesh and strength and life became a burden. All said I must surely die, but nevertheless, when I had used ten bottles of B. B. B. I was pronounced well. Hun-. dreds of scars can now be seen on me. I have now been well over twelve months." Frosts in Indiana.
