It is almost impos sible to get ice in this place for fami 'ly use, and then it costs about five cents a pound. It would cost com paratively very little to build an ice house, and the proprietor of it would realize big money off it. Let's have an ice house. Onion parties are fashionable in Nebraska.

By last evening's mail we received the following letter, written by one of the most prominent and influential gentlemen in the county: Mx. S. A. Nmrrmns-4Dear Sir: Enclosed please find $3 due for paper. I regret that my subscription has been due so long. I think it will - be a wise change from credit to cash. We are all so apt to neglect the small amounts due for any purpose. I cannot afford to be without your paper, and will try and pay up promptly hereafter. I hope 1 am in time to draw one of your val uable presents, as I never got any thing in that line before. Yours truly, We have lately received by letter and otherwise many kind words, and we feel greatly encouraged at the kind way in which our appeal for money due us, to pay for our new press, has been received. We shall endeavor all the more to improve the Tnus, and make it a better paper. We shall have to strike off this week a number of good men's names from our list, but we can't help it. We cannot afford to run our paper on a loose, unsystematic credit basis. If our-paper is worth anything, it is worth what we ask for it. And if any one does not want it, why we don't want to send it. So pay if you want the paper; and no pay, no paper. Foreston Facts. Fois'roN, July 2.-Owing. to the rain on Friday and Saturday last, t?" Union Meeting convening here was not so well attended as was hoped for. We however had a very pleasant meeting. All the churches with but one exception were represented, and the program published in your paper some tine since, fully carried out. The next meeting of the body will be held with the Graham church near Sum ter on Friday before the 5th Sunday in Sept. next. That game of base ball of which so much has been said, and which I neglected to report, was played here last week between the Foreston and Greeleyville clubs. There was some good playing, the best we have ever seen in the country. The score stood 13 to 12 in favor of Foreston. Much credit is due to a Mr. Dickson, as pitcher (who assisted our boys), for the able manner in which he deliver ed the ball, and also a Mr. Montgom ery, as catcher, who knew exactly how to take them in. Upon the whole the clubs were very evenly matched. Messrs. Sparks, Campbell, and Can tey, of the Greeleyville club, did some fine work, and so indeed did they all on both sides. We understand they are to play again in the near future. A burlesque game was played last week between the old men and the boys. Maj. C. S. Land umpired the game; Dr. L. W. Nettles scored; and I believe the little ones were winners, though the older heads say the Maj. showed partiality. Crop prospect fine. F. Another Revolutionary Tale. S..nnnm, June 27.-Mr. Editor: I congratulate you on your success in giving us a good, live county paper, and always open it first of all myl maiL. I have been deeply interested in the articles written by "Old Citi zen," and wish very much he would continue to write. He has put us to studying the history of our own State, and in that study I find that General Sumter, better known as the "Game cock," was severely wounded in the trasta BladkstuOciorthe-banlks- of.y the Tyger River. In this fight, with forces about equal, Tarleton lost nine tv-two killed, and 100 wounded; the "Gamecock" lost three killed and the same number wounded, he himself being one of that number. I find that the friends of Sumter employed a novel way of conveying him to a place of safety. "He was wrapped in the raw hide of a bullock, suspended between two horses, and conveyed to a place of safety in North Carolina." While Marion, the "Swamp Fox," was tender and compassionate, Sumter, the "Gamecock," was true and brave. Thus you see we had at that time two heroes who im mortalized themselves so that genera tions pass, and still we find patriots willing to study over and write about these things, in order that they may be handed down: from father to son, and never be forgotten.

IJouDnes June 29.-It was our priv ilege to attend the closing exercises of the ,Tordan school Miss Josie H.K McLean teacher. To say that we were not disappointed is to put it very mildly, but I trust other and more competent pens than mine will gieyu eaders a description. How eve I ustsay that we were not pre pared for what we heard and saw. We cannot realize how everything could be arranged and carried out without so much as a blunder. When we take into consideration the extreme youth of nearly the whole school, many of them never having seen anything of the kind before, they each went through their part like old soldiers. Miss Josie can justly feel proud of her. students one and alL.I None of them made her blush with shame, but they all loved her. Hon. B. P. Barron delivered the prizes and complimeited the stub.nts very highly, and . congratulated ~ patrons for being able to get such a faithful, competent, pains-taking teacher, one who had done her whole duty. He then congratulated Miss McLean for being so fortunate as to get among such people as were the patrons of the Jordan school. That both teacher and patrons were fortu nate. But, Mr. Editor, I cannot do justice with myi feeble attainments to the subject, therefore, must leave it for a moe prolific pen, but will add that thus ended on the.28th of June 1889 the most successful term that the Jor dan school has ever had. ''With a well done thou good and faithful servant to the teacher, I leave the subject. The crop prospect is very flattering at this time, though too much rain or to mc dry now would be very in jlm-linna NO new. .J. FORESTON'S FINE FARMING. I Maj. Land and Col. Hudgins Each Have Fie Corn Crops-King Cotton not yet Dethroned. MR. EnrroR:--According to promise I give you a sketch of my travels. I left Manning on the 7 P. 31. train, pass ed by the "City of Corn," and spent the night at Greeleyville. Next morn ing I returned -to Foreston, and was soon in the fields, inspecting the corn, measuring the distance, counting the stalks, etc. Before I left Manning I visited Mir. W. K. Bell's farm, and found that he had a fine field of corn, 25 acres, which will be hard to put down by even the "prize acre men." Mr. Bell's corn is on seven foot rows, two feet apart on the row, therefore he has 3000 stalks to the acre. The variety of corn planted by Mr. Bell is that commonly planted in our coun ty. It is worth the time of anybody who wants to see fine corn to visit Mr. Bell's field. Mr. John Thames also has a very fine acre of corn. I did not count the stalks or measure the distance of his corn, but would say it would be well for our farmers to visit his crop down in the branch, and see for themselves how easy it is to make corn provided we have first the branch bottom and then the spunk to tackle it. Now let us return to Forestoin. I found several fields of Maj. Land's corn near the town. Some five foot rows, and others seven feet. The five foot rows contain 3010 stalks and promises to be very fine. The next field, his six foot rows, were thicker and contains by actual measurement 6972 stalks to the acre. In a distance of 35 yards I counted on one row 83 stalks, and my friend, P. W. Wynd ham, followed and counted 96 silks on the 83 stalks, so you see we have struck bottom. His variety of seed, however, is from Illinois, and I am told that experts say it is not thick enough. My next trip was to Col. Hudgins's crop, aid just let me say here that Col. Hudgins having stimulated the people to raising more corn, has this year turned his attention to cotton, and from the appearance of his fields, about 75 acres in all, I think -he will convince the planters in his section that "King Cotton" can be profitably raised there. I finally visited the prize acre. Well now, Mr. Editor, I have heard people speculating on this corn, but your scribe will not undertake to say how much it will make. Let me tell you it is a sight; 20,000 to 30,000 stalks, 40,000 to 50,000 ears! Who can savhow much itwill make? Iknow this much, if the worms do not injure it } too much, and the next crop turns out well, Col. Hudgins will scare somebody when the actual measurement takes place. I cannot say who has the best corn, the truth of the business is, each of the gentlemen alluded to has a right to feel proud of his corn, and in the opinion of this scribe is head and shoulders above their brother farmers in making corn. Let us hope that our people will bestir themselves, and that next year many of our farmers will "go and do likewise." Rain in abundance, and the out look is plenty of corn, and some to! spare another year. NIX. 1 Fine Summerton and Panola Farms. Wneirrs BLUrF, June 29.-Mr. Ed write someti g;e your paper, think-]1 ing perhaps would not object. Ifj you could a single day roam these ii wild woo'ds and take in the whole sit uation, you would have bits to study,ia things to interest you. If you were in these bays you could fill your col-< umns for weeks. There is mud, slop, and water sufficient to paint you an ndian. I am a true lover of the Tms. You don't know how proud it K makes me feel to get the paper every< week. I live so remote it 'gives me L welcome news.. -What has become of your old cor respondent,. "Tom."? Has he col lapsed ? Has the causeway contra versy scared him from the field ? I 1 hope not; there is always a calm after a storm. "Jake," from Pinewood, whipped out the old hen that laid the rotten egg, and gave them fellows , heaps of trouble for their efficacious morals.4 Your columns have been left almost alone to "C." I believe he has the right name, and lives in the right place. I do not remember having ever read anything from hisfJacile pen but what relates to Summerton. Our old friend certainly must expect to live and die and be buried among his own people. The question has been asked time and again, who is "0."? It wvas answered the other day by an old geni tieman, "Why sir, he is the milk man." No , Mr. Editor, if this is. his real nam, tell him to come over 1 the line, and let us shake hands.1 For a long time we wanted some! newspaper man to come among us. Are they afraid of the red bugs and mosquitoes that annoy our bachelor, hut ? There is fun in scratching some times. Methinks I find happiness around Scott's Lake as great as along Taw Caw and its tributary Scott's! Branch. If "C." dont come down, he will shiver with Cole. "B." gives us an interesting chat this week about Summerton.. We remember well Dr. Robert Ragin, Dr. T. W. Briges, Rev. Rufus Felder, Cal. Davis, Cal. Henry Colclough, and the Singletons. We remember well the fair and beautiful Lizzie Clarendon, her charming face an~raceful man ner. These all belonged to ante bellam days, of precious memory. In my rambles along the way I can safely say much in favor of the beau tiful fields under cultivation. Much more attention has been paid to coin this year than formerly. It looks now as if corn will be made in abundance. The farmers are more concerned and interested in corn planting. The first object that strikes your attention after leaving the "bays," is the cotton fields of Mr. David Lev'i. These fields to the eye of a casual ob server abound with fine cotton. High er up is Isaac Ingram's. worthy in eve espect to be noted for; his goon 'sagement as a farmer.. His crop ra K'ih the best. Then there is J. S. E. A erop. It would be hard to discrim'1-. N reaching; Jacks Creek WV. S. Cobe; gives you: a model review. For a young planter I do not believe he can be equaled as: to his farm or its management. Ran dolph Furse was trained behind the1 counter, but married ' and went to has exhibited wonderful capaci for the farm and field. He is now the owner of one of the most handsome little farms in the county. After pass ing the beautiful residence of Mr. Furse, you are in full view of Mr. R. H. Belser's Panola farm. His gentle manly agent, Mr. W. W. Brailsford; prides himself on its management. Mr. W. M. Butler has the reputa tion of being one of the best and most successful farmers in the Panola section. I want.ed to satisfy my own mind as to its truthfulness. My ob servation convinces me as to its cor :ectness. He used no commercial nanure this year. I think he has the pest corn I have seen. I returned by way of Concord. What prosperous and noble farmers, each on the high road to prosperity Ezra Tindal, Fischer, J. R. Thames, Davis Brothers, cannot be beat. It vould do you good, Mr. Editor, to ravel through this part of Clarendon. Mr. Melvin King and young Chew iing, at St. Pauls, have fine crops. So nuch I saw that when I got back to ny own sand hill I felt grieved and lisappointed that prosperity abound d elsewhere, and my own bachelor ife was more of a hermit than a iuman being. H.

A FISH TALE n Which Several Prominent Clarendon Gentlemen Play an Important Part. Fish tales are generally enormous hings, far larger than the head, body, end tail of the fish, but we have a fish ale that is of symetrical proportions, rue in every particular. Possibly we >ught not to tell it, but when we get a rood thing we just can't keep it, so the rentlemen interested in it, or rather onnected with it, will please kindly cuse us for "telliri' on 'em." Mr. 1. Pat Brock, Capt. J. J. Broughton, dr. Ashby Weeks, and Mr. Jack eeks, are the parties most deeply oncerned. These gentlemen, accompanied by ome boys, determined recently to lare a fish in Santee. Mr. J. P. 3rock and Capt. J. J. Broughton were he first to start out in quest of the inny game. Before daylight they rived at a creek in the swamp, hich they found deep and still rising. I Lfraid to venture in with their bug y, they left the buggy on the bank f the creek, and swam across on their iorses. Shortly after daylight Mr. Ashby eeks drove up in his buggy. He was somewhat surprised to see .that he other gentlemen had left their >uggy, but thinking probably they lidn't care to drive over the rough wamp road, he drove into the creek, iot onc thinkig -.to-ee Ee1 drive across. Very shordiy his orse began swimming, lunging, and umping as his feet would occasional y touch bottom. The buggy, howev-j r, was safely floated over, without1 eccident to Mr. Weeks, except a good etting. A cypress knee or similar bstacle in the way of the buggy night, howvever, have resulted seri usly, not improbably in loss of life. About an hour after Mr. Ashby eeks crossed over, Mr. Jack Weeks ame up driving his beautiful horse hich took several prizes at the last state Fair. The creek was still rising, Ld of course more dangerous to ross. Mr.'Weeks, however, noticing hat others had crossed, both horse )ack and in a buggy, supposed. all vas safe, and confidently drove his orse into the creek, which by this ime was nearly five hundred feet vide. Very soon his horse began wimming, and the buggy was float d on top the water. Mr. Weeks of ~ourse got a little damp! and the urroundings asumed an interesting Lspect. His valuable horse ~was in langer of drowning, and his own life vas in danger for he was not a swim ner. Once he cast a furtive glance lown the stream, only to see- floating' >n the foaming waters everything he lad in the buggy-fishing tackle,1 inner, horse feed,-everything ex ept the cushion he sat on, and one >ther important package in the bot om of the buggy,that was too heavy o float. - But his horse proved equal o the emergency, and landed him on he other shore safely, though pretty vel saturated with water. All these difficulties overcome, the >arty got together, caught plenty of ish, enjoyed the day hugely, and in he afternoon all started back togeth er. When they got to the creek they ound it still rising, and crossing it ttended with greater risk and dan It looked risky crossing that stream, out it must be crossed. All had con-: idence except Mr. Jack Weeks. -He; iniself could not swim, and his horse as too valuable to risk his drowning. Finally it was concluded that Mr. Pat Brock should swim his horse ahead, md Mr. Ashby Weeks would follow, Letting his horse carry the buggy back he same way as he brought it over. l'is plan worked finely for a while, Nir. Weeks's horse swimming and plunging, but doing no harm to the buggy, until after crossing the deep est part, he came to where he could reach bottom with his feet. Then, as' Bill Arp would say, the horse "estab ished" 3imself, refusing to budge nother iep, but stood there with his had ele :ated sufficiently to keep his bose ou of the water. Mr. Weeks, after faigang to get his horse te pro. eeed, crawled over the dash board, on to the horse's back, and again urged him to go forward. Still no go. Oth ers of the party swvam to Mr. Weeks's rescue, and they too tried to force the horse to go, but he still refused, until suddenly, a new idea probably occur ring to his horseship, he literally went to diving. Of course he got strangled, and coming to the surface, snorting and blowing, he struck out for the shore with huge lunges. Mr. Weeks lost his seat, was thrown out into the water nn had to swim to the shore. The horse beat him there, but carried the buggy safely over. Now the nest thing was to get Mr. Jack Weeks and his horse and buggy over. First he got a smaller brother to swim the horse over. Next he and a boy got on one of the largest horses and swam safely over. Then two or three of the party got hold of the buggy, and swimming, pulled it over. All were safely over now, except that veteran old swamper, Capt. J. J. Broughton, who had wonderfully en joyed the events of the day. He had staid behind to see that all the party got safely over, and now he would cross in regulation style, that is, with his stirrups crossed and his hands grasping the mane of his horse, and thus by standing erect he would be able to keep almost entirely out of the water. Fannie swam beautifully, and to all appearances it looked as if the Captain would get across dry, but he was doomed to disaster. Fannie was swimming too near a tree, and finding it necessary to rein her out, he pulled the bridle rein, but, alas! he did it too suddenly, and she turned broadside in the water, when of course she had to go to the bottom to recover, Capt. Broughton thereby receiving a first class ducking. Finding it unneces sary to further guard against the dif ficulties of life he manfully yielded to the inevitable, and finished the ride or swim to shore, seated in his saddle. It was a matter of considerable dis cussion during the day if it would not be beat for Mr. Jack Weeks, in return ing, to temporarily swap horses with Capt. Broughton. Mr. Weeks's fine horse then could be swum across with certain safety, and if in driving Capt. Broughton's farm horse over, he should happen to drown, the loss would not be so great, and Capt. Broughton would'have as recompense a fine horse. It was an eventful day, and every one literally got soaked, but most of the party enjoyed it hugely. RHEUMATISM AND CATARRH. Rheumatism and catarrh are both blood diseases. In many severe cases they have yielded to treatment with B. B. B. (Botanic Blood Balm), made by Blood Balm Co., At lanta, Ga. Write for book of convincing proofs. Sent free. R. P. Dodge, Atlanta, Ga., says: "My wife had catarrh and nothing did her any good. Her constitution finally failed and poison got into her blood. I placed her on a use of B. B. B., and to my surprise her recovery was rapid and complete." W. P. McDaniel, Atlanta, Ga., writes: "I was much emaciated and had rheumatism so bad I could not get along without crutch es. I also had neuralgia in the head. First class physicians did me no good. Then I tried B. B. B. and its effects were magical. I cheerfully reccommend it as a good tonic and quick cure." Mrs. Matilda Nichols, Knoxville, Tenn., writes: "I had catarrh six years and a most distressing cough, and my eyes were much swollen. Five bottles of B. B. B., thank God cured me." John M. Davis, Tyler, Texas, writes: "I was subject a number of years to spells of inflammatory rheumatism, which six bottles of B. B. B., thank heaven, has entirely cured me. I have not felt the slightest pain since." EIGHT PRIZES GIVEN AWAY. How the Manning Times Proposes to Cel ebrate the Fourth of July.

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 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, 1888, 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 TIES 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, 1889, all sub scribers to THE MANNING TIMES, who are in arrears for more than sixteen months ($2) will cease to receive the TIES. .Don't you~ think it would be fair and just to pay us this balance no0w, when we need it so much?
