The rec rds of the church have unifcrtunately >een lost. He gives us the following iistory of this old church: High Hill Baptist church, near tateburg, is probably the oldest Bap ist clrhCli in this country. More han a hundred years ago, a mission rv was sent from this church to or ;utize Calvary church. This was lulv done, and a s:mall frame building n-ected. The lumber for this church ,vas sawed by a '-whip saw." The irst pastor was lev. Bradley lhame, great grand uncle of Senator lhame, 1f this place. The first deacons were probably .Jeremiah Ilhamie, a brother >f tle preacher, and .JTmues Tindal, lather of Mr. A. J. Tida1. Mr. Bradlev lhame remained pastor of this church till his death, probably 'orty yeais. At the death of "Mr. RIhamie, 1ev. H. W. Mahoney, then a m'ung man, was called to the church. [t was his first call. He accepted, and since then, for more than si::ty years, bie has b.enI the only and regular paS for of this church. During the first few years after Mr. ahoney's pastorate of the church, Where were no regularly ordained dea ons or elerk. The first deacons or laiued during Mr. Mahoney's pastor ate were Levi F. sIhame, ason of Jer 2aliiahI Rhame, and James H. Tindal, .i son of James Tindal. These two remained deacons till their death. The next deacons weie H. F. Tindal, brother of James H. Tindal, and Col. John 0. Brock. These were both or Jained before the war. Col. Brock is t ill a deacon of the church, but Mr. Tindal died about twenty years ago. The deacons of the church since his leath have been, James F. Tindal, Robert J. Holladav, and Judson Broadway. Mr. Htollia died a few monthus ago. At present l1ev. H. W. Mfaihoney is pastor of the church1, and J. 0. Brock, I. E. Tindal, and ;J udson Broadway the deacons. There have been three buildings for hlis churcb. '1 lie first mentioned ibove. The second was built after MIr. 31ahoney was called to the church.

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 MANNING TIDES 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 namies of ae in arrears as 1888, will be st. We have such names, and veryv much the i many subscribe rather lose thi ne -or rur timer as mfany hundred .lollars. If the TLIMES is worth 'anything it is worth $1.50 a year; atnd any per son who during thte year's time canlnot 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 sutained in our effort, pay us the smiall sumii you owe us; if not, we shall b~e comnpelled to discontinue the p~aper to your address after July 4th. After ,July 4th, 1889, all sub scriers to THE .MANNING TIMES, whoi( are in al-rears for more than sixteen months ($2) will cease to reeive the TIMES.

This school consists chiefly of sm:dl children, arnl it is said by all that the exercises were the oest on record. And so another mear has end~ed. How fast they coec andi go, these eight months of earnest work and endeavor. Oar deeds whether good or bad are nowv beyond reeudl. As we review the work and the innumerable needs that have arisen, and then realize our weak ness and miany failures, we can only ask the. dear Father to pardon the wrong, and bless even our mistakes and fai:ures, to the fartherance of -his kingdom and the ad vanceient of those about us. 'We trust that the seed-sowing we have fried to do in this little corner of Clarendon will be continued during vacation by many of our girls and Ii bos. We are confident and believe that only in the hereafter will the extent of this work he known. The closing exercises were : fll of interest if we may judge by the well tilled house andl the nmany appreciative words spoken. When the work is taken up for. 1889-90, may it be with the new building 4impletel. As we separate for the summer, each to pursue his own course for rest, recre atio,. or laboir, we earnestly trust that all way go forth conscious of the divine prov'i dece, and so meet with success in what ever direction sought.

Now is the; time to take it, for now it will do the most Louis Miller and Jimmie Freeman, twol lads McClellanville, aged respectively.j ntally drowned -in a pleas How Money is Wasted. Much has been said in the newspapers: ibout our farmers buying what they eat and gear from a distant market. It is claimed ;hat by sending money out of the country .or corn, meat and provisions generally, the expense of living is increased and times are made harder. There can be no doubt of :he fact. This, however, is not the only way in which money is wasted. Our section is an nviting field for traveling agents of every description. They find it profitable to make n occasional trip through this section. Glib of tongue they have no difficulty in persuading our people to buy a lot of rub bish for which they have no earthly use. The man who sells maps makes the largest and easiest gains. In a few moments he persuades the countryman that a map is one thing he needs above all others. The map will be a great education for him and his family. He will read about Alston or Branchville, and it is highly important that he should know the exact longitude and lat itude of such noted points. All he has to do is to consult the map and he can point out to his children precisely where these places are located. Thus he will educate them at home. Impressed with the neces sity of having such a reference, the victim pays his money and gets the map. He rarely consults it more than once a year for he has no need to do so. The map hangs on the wall till it becomes worn and soiled. It should be a daily reminder of how the own er has thrown away his money. It is not so, however, for the first agent for a patent churn-dasher who comes along finds no difficulty in disposing of his wares to the victim. The man with a recipe to make soap for nothing takes him in next, and he is ready to buy from the patent medicine vender a remarkable remedy every time he visits town. Cotton planters, guano distributors, horse collars, plow stocks and new kinds of cotton seed take away more money, and still the condition of the country is not improved. Perhaps the biggest sell that ever took money from our section is the fruit drier which a number of our men bought a. few years ago. They tried to sell it without ad vertising, contenting themselves with the distribution of hand bills. It is unneces sary to state that the machines are still on hand. As we have a good fruit year only once in five years it strikes us as passing strange how a man of any judgment could ever have been induced to put his money in any such a visionary enterprise. Another astonishing thing is why any one should buy a subscription book at an enor mous price and put it in his bookcase with out reading a page of it. There would be ten times as much sense in spending the money for a good newspaper or magazine. Another waste of money is to pay a man for the silver plating job. If you have cheap ware there is no sense in spending money to have it plated when you can buy a new supply for less money. Words fail us when we strike the feather renovating business. A feather bed can be cleaned by beating the feathers with a few switches and exposing them to the sun for awhile as by the machine used by the trav eling gangs that are scouring the country. It will be done better, for the oil will not be extracted, and the fearhers will retain their life. It is difficult to estimate the amount of money wasted every year by our people in such purchases. Has any one ever got the worth of his money by any such investment? -Abbeville Medium. The Value of Time.

The Star seems to have stirred up a hor net's nest in regard to the pension law. The flagrant violations of it has raised up it hue and cry that the next Legislature must re spect. The present law is as incomplete and loose as it could possibly be, and if ad vantages of it has been taken in other counties, as in ours, the appropriation must soon be exhausted. Last week Clerk Will cox received a telegram from the pension board in Columbia telling him to withhold the check for W. B. R. Gasque, whose ap plication has been allowed when it was in complete, lacking the auditor's certificate. When it was known that Mr. Gasque's ap plication had been allowed, Mr. Bethen, the auditor, immediately wrote to the pension board and requested them to examine the application more carefully, as he knew that he had refused to sign the auditor's certifi cate that the applicant's income does not exceed $250, and that he is not possessed of sufficient property to produce such incoue. -Mfarion Star.
