THE MANNING TIMES. S. A. NETTLES, Editor. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 12, 1889. It is said that several of the John stown people are so overcome by the terrible flood that they have torn up their Bibles and cursed their God. The Columbia Register is to be cap italized under the name of the Regis ter Publishing Company. The capital stock will be $50,000, divided into 1000 shares of $50 each. Manning must have the canning factory, and we must also have a cot ton seed oil mill. We have heard a number of persons speaking very fa vorably of it. The boom is through out the State, and we hope Manmng will be among the foremost. Let's have factories. It is now about definitely ascertain ed that Dr. Cronin was killed by or der of a secret society of which he was a member, the Clan-Na-Gael, to prevent his divulging the misappro priation of some funds. It was an Irish society, in which the members were sworn to kill any member who violated the rules or was particularly objectionable. Of course it was, a Chicago society. The Democrats of Ohio are now en gaged in holding county conventions for the election of delegates to the State convention, and the nomination of legislative and county tickets. So far, in almost every instance, the con aio have, adopted resolutions strongly endorsing the late Adminis tration of President Cleveland, and reaffirming the principles of the Dem ocratic platform of 1888. Don't kill all the grass. Save an acre, plough it up, and let the grass grow. Cut it off at the proper time, and four or five times the profit will be realized as off an acre of corn or cotton. Fodder is now generally considered almost valueless as food for stock. Hay is the best kind of food. Fodder is expensive to gather. Hay is easily harvested, cultivated at small cost, and yields a big profit. Therefore, by all means, don't kill all the grass, but let a part of it grow into hay. But keep the corn and cotton fields free of grass. If you Siseibay, raise hay; if corn or cotton, keep it clean, and raise only the one crop. The deaths from the Johnstown hor ror, it is now believed, are only about half as many as first supposed. The total number will be 5,000 or proba bly less. The people are in a desti tute condition. But the whole world is helping them. Upwardsof $2,500, 000 has already been contributed. South Carolina has contributed very liberally. Last Saturday the South Carolina Railroad- sent a freight train along its lines from Charleston and Augusta to Columbia. The people all along the line contributed liberal similar things are done. Cotton bagging against lute bag ging is the great case now on trial be fore the Southern farmers. Last year-the jute manufacturers formed a trust, and raised the price. The far mers were naturally incensed at it. Now the cry is down with jute at any cost. Cotton or pine straw is to take its place. And we don't see why it can't. It will cost more the first year, possibly the first few years, but then it will eventually be sold at low prices. However, we publish an article from *a-prominent Charleston firm which gives a practical view of the matter. We also publish the action of the Farmers' Alliance in several counties, wherein they swear eternal war and enmiity to jute bagging. This is a matter that needs close and careful attention. In a multitude of coun selors there is safety. Sis a sad, a lamentable fact, the in which -parents treat the educa tion of their children. They think that when they send their children to school they have done their whole duty. A visit is never made to the school house. They do not care whether their children are provided with hard, uncomfortable benches for seats, or with convenient and comfort ....aishs They do not seemingly care about the moral training of their childen. This is all wrong, and dis couraging alike to teacher and pupils. The teacher loves to think that the parents are interested in his work, ils sar elightsdand stim y e visits and initerss-ef-i parents. We speak from experience. In a seven years' experience in this place, scarcely a dozen parents have visited our school, and we cannot re e all a single visit made by a public -'school trustee. The school commis sioner has been to see us three or four times, and the State Superintendent of Education about the same number of times. There is food for thought in this article. Our views on the State pension business were freely expressed a year ago, and they have not since changed. We think it a very unjust law. We believe that if a pension is granted, it ought to be granted to all alike. The man who lost a limb in the ser vice of his State, and yet who has since, by energy and honesty, accu mulated a little property and is sup porting his family, is more worthy, far more worthy, of help than is that man, who, lazy and shiftless, becomes a pauper, and makes no support for himself and family. We believe in giving equally to every man who lost a limb, or who was dis abled by service in the war, and ev ery'vidow of the Confederacy should have a pension. We are told that in several cases in this county considerable dissatisfac tion is manifested. The State board has granted pensions when not recom mended and endorsed by the home boards, and the State board has de clined to grant pensions in several cases, where the home boards were ful ly convinced that pensions ought to be granted. We have not inquired into he namae or circumstnnan f any of these parties, but if an error is to be made, we think it always best to err on the safe side. Rather than let one needy one suffer, give to all. We 'ope the law will be amended again this winter, and give pensions to all alike. We some time ago published a list of the pensioners approved for this county. A check for $12 was sent last week to Clerk of Court James E. Davis, for each of these parties. To Delinquent Subscribers. From business principles and from past experience in the news paper business, we are fully con vinced that the indiscriminate credit system is very pernicious in its effects. THE MANNINeJ TIMES will consequently, after July 4th. be run on a cash basis. or. very short credit. On July 5th, 1889. unless satisfactory arrangements have been previously made, the names of all subscribers who are in arrears as far back 'as March 1, 1SSS, will be stricken from our list.. We have about a hundred such names, and while we dislike very much the idea of losing so many subscribers, yet we had rather lose them than run the risk of losing three or four times as many hundred dollars. If the TIMEs is worth anything it is worth $1.50 a year; and any per son who during the year's time cannot pay this small sum had best not take the paper at all. We are endeavoring to publish a good, readable, lively paper. If you think we are worthy of being sustained in our effort, pay us the small sum you owe us; if not, we shall be compelled to discontinue the paper to your address after July 4th. After*July 4th, 1S89, all sub scribers to THE MANNING TIMES. who are in arrears for more than sixteen months ($2) will cease to receive the TDIES. Don't you think it would be fair and just .to pay us this balance now, when we need it so much? About the Johnstown Flood. JoNss-rowN, PA, June 8.-Rain fell here from midnight to daylight, but towards noon the clouds disappeared and the sun came out strong. The smoke of the burning tim ber spread itself over the entire valley and seriously hindered the labors of the work men. The air, too, was filled with offensive i odors of the fast decomposing bodies of human beings and animals. It is beyond human power now to take out any more bodies that can be even identified, and therefore the protection of the lives of those here will soon demand that heroic measures shall be taken in the interest of the general welfare. The exigencies of the occasion demand that upon the recovery of remains they shall be immediately buried. This is what will undoubtedly be the out come of affairs before M~onday. Every one here believes that not less than five hundred and as high as one thousand ' lie imbedded in the debris that ex i th ~ucti f teConeanang, n'sylvania Paul road stone bridge. The work sof removing the wreckage jammed in the riv-er bed -con tinues, but is necessarily very slow, as the debris is almost as solid as rock down twen tv- feet to the bed of the river. Almost one hundred feet square has been cleared thus far, and at that rate experts say it will take not less than two months to complete the 'work, Gangs of men have been set at work on the river toward Kernville, who are carrying the debris to the fiat lands and burning it. Coroner Hammer, of Westmoreland coun ty, sitting in inquest upon bodies found at Nineveb, took the jury to the dam yester day, and to-day a verdict is being prepared for the signatures of the jurynien. It will Ithrow the blame upon the Soiet Fork Fish ing and Hunting Club for - ;oss, if not criminal negligence, and c'irelessness in making repairs from time to time." Some t-alk is also he-ard blaming the Penn sylvania Railway, as they leased the dam from the club, and then abandoned it and allowed it to decay. The supply of bread this morning was totally exhausted, and a gre-ater supply of all kinds of provisions is badly needed. The falling oft; the committee thinks, is due to reports sent out a day or two ago that there was an overstock. The number of cases of sickness is re ported as growing larger. Ten workmen were taken to the hospital with symptoms of typhoid fever. The doctors are now work ing day and night. To-morrow five hundred laborers will be receiv.ed here from the State of Ohio, sent by Governc.r Foraker. Our Public Schools. In Ande~rson an effort was made to secure the signatures of a majority of resident free holders to a petition, to call a convention of taxpay ers to determine whether a special tax should be levied for the purpose of es tabhishing a graded school. A majority of the freeholders refusid to sign the pietition, hence the meeting was not called. Manning has been discussing a s-' questI ' it is esiaa-lan is than n eight aidtrivould be suicie-nt toa maintain a graded school as it should be in Manning. Camden tried to establish graded schools with 14 mills extra, but there was a failure; and now 3 mills extra is levied and still our trastees-all shrewd business men, too-are fe.a rully cramped. There is not enoug~h in ter st taken in our schools by the patrons. The send their children to school and ex peet them to be educated without the sacrl tice of an; time or attention whatever on their part. It is a fearful commentary upon our people too, that a dozeu~ men should mecet together and vote a three mills tax, for the purpose of maintaining our graded schools, and not a siagle oae be present at the closing of the schools. Yet this is a fact. The graded schools closed 'lst Tuesday, and not a single visitor was present. It is essential to any community that there should be at least one good ~school, but w;hatever may be said in praise of our graded schools, there is a wonderful lack of interest whinch must be apparent to every one, and which embarrasses those who are try ing to build up good schools in our town. Yet we are palying a large tax for the pur p)ose of giving a good common school edui cation to the boys and girls of our district. -Cme Messewjer. Darlington County is too Smuall. DarLuxoToN, June 4.-Major George w. Earle, who has lately made a survey of Dar lington county-, made his report to the county commiissioners to-day. By his chart the county- of D>arington as it now stands contains only tiU1 square miles. This is twenty-four miilcs less thani the required area. Therefore the bill creating Florence county will have to be amended before it is legal. In selecting a sewing machine ladies are apt to rely too much upon what age-nts say, not thinking it is to their interest to recomn mend the machine they make the most profit on It is oudt to u.@ your own judg ment Tbe Nw IomeSewing Machine is placed on the mark-ct on its own merits, and cl'imed by the company to be the n~sr.

Their competitors are forced to acknow ledge that they dread to meet the New Home in Cont.Wions Blood Poisons is the constitutional blood disease which has for several centuries past been infesting mankind with its an noying features and destructive re suits, and is now the great bane of the human race. This is the worst of all blood contagion, as the horrible poison is transmitted from one gener ation to the next, and even the third and fourth. We do not honestly be lieve that the terrible scourge has ev er been cured and thoroughly eradi cated from the hnman body by any other remedy than Swift's Specific, and we further say that Swift's Spe cific has never been known to fail to make a permanent cure in any case when it has been taken before any of the vital organs bad become so im paired as to render a cure impossible. Swift's Specific entirely cured me of a severe case of blood poison which obstinately resisted and refused to be cured for over 26 years. The regular medical remedies of mercury and potash only added fuel to the flame. I suffered during most of this long time with ulcers, blotches and sores of the most offensive character, and was for 'a long time practically an invalid. In less than thirty days use of S. S. S. I was all cleared up sound and well. This has been near ly a year ago, and no sign of any re turn of the old enemy. JoHs B. 'WrILus, 87 Clark St., Alanta, Ga.

Broomac~ros, ILL., June 8.-A severe tornado last evening wrecked many build ings at Danvers, west of this city. A church was destroyed, freight cars were blown front the track, a tile factory ruined, and many barns and dwellings unroofed. The Lake Erie and Western track is under water, and its bridge over the Mackinaw is badly dam aged. B. B. B. (BOTANIC BDOOD BALM.) If you try this remedy you will say as many others have said, that it is the BEs-r blood purifier and tonic. Write Blood Balm Co., Atlanta, Ga., for book of convincing testimony. J. P. Davis, Atlanta, Ga. (West End), writes: "I consider that B. B. B. has per manently cured me of rheumatism and sci atica." R. R. Saulter, Athens, Ga., says: "B. B. B. cured ie of an ulcer that had resisted all other treatment." E. G. Tinsley, Columbiana, Ala., writes: "Mv mother and sister had ulcerated sore throat and scrofula. B. B. B. cured them." Jacob F. Sponcler, Newnan, Ga.,' writes: "B. B. B. entirely cured me of rheumatism in my shoulders. I used six bottles." Chas. Reinhardt, No. 2020 Fountain Street, Baltimore, Md., writes: "I suffered with bleeding piles two years, and am glad to say that one bottle of B. B. B. cured me." J. J. Hardy, Tocoa, Ga., writes: "B. B. B. is a quick cure for catarrh. Three bot tles cured me. I had been troubled several years." A. Spink, Atlanta, Ga., says: "One bottle of B. B. B. completely cured my child of eczema." W. A. Pepper, Fredonia, Ala., writes: "B. B. B. cured my mother of ulcerated sore throat." Educated Women. a.v education that untits women to he mothers, og men to be fathers, must be con demned, of course. The mistake lies in assuming that the higher education does unfit women to be motL.rs. A year or two since, the Association of Collegiate Alumnie collected statistics from about eight hundre d women, college graduates as to their bgaith of their childron, the numiter who have died, etc. Tu. poits came out clearly from the-se statistica: that the health of the girls genernlly improved at college, when they did not over-study; and that the death rate among the children of college women is remarkably low. An educated woman knows better than an ignorant one how to care for her own health and that of her children. Again, the quality of the children has to be considered as well as the quantity. The child of an educated woman is likely to be more intelligent than that of an igno. rant mother. It is more likelv to live, and is also better "worth raising."-M n' J',ad. $100 REWARD. S100 The readers of the Tini.s will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is catarrh. Hall's catarrh cutre is the only positive cure now~ known to the medical fraternity. ('atarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's catarrh cure is taken internally, acting directly up. on the blood and mucus surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength, by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The' proprietors have so much faith in its cura. tiv-e powers, that they ofier one hundred dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials. Address F. J.

HOW IT WILL nE DONE. Five prominent gentlemen from different sections of the county will be requested to give away the prizes, in the following man ner: n These gentlemen will place in one box a number of tickets equal to the number of paid up subscribers, all of which tickets will be blank except the eight prize tickets. They will then place in another similar box an equal number of tickets, containing the names cf the paid up subscribers, one name on each 'icket. After the tickets have been carefully inspected and placed in the boxes, they w ill beL thoroughly shaken up and mix-: ed togrether, until the committee is satisfied that everything is fair and just. Then .the four or five years '. -ill be blindfolded, anid one w ill draw frori the box containing the names of the paid up subscribers and the other from the box containmng the tick ets. The commrittee will at every' drawin (one from each box) inspect the tickets that have been drawn and announce the result. For instance. suppose the little boys have each drawn a ticket from their- respective bo::es. 'Ihe namie drawn by one little boy is Always Loseum, and the tiehet draw-n by the other is at blank. That means M3r. A. I oseu'm has failed to secure a prize. The little boys draw again. The name is LnekyL Fellow, and the prize ticket has sewingma chine on"it That means M3r. L. Fellow hats secured the sewing machine for his pize. Tihe drawing will thus continue till all the prize.s have been given away. This 1)1lan seems to us as fair as possible, and to hatve the least objections. Our sub scribers may rest satisfied "that everything. will be done in fairness. TZ&. HONOR LI1ST.
