A Texas Ranch. COLEMAN Carr, Tex., July 14th, 1889. Mn. ETroa:--Your kind letter was received a few days since. As it is Sunday and there is a little rest I will try to answer a few of your questions, by giving you a description of where I am and what I am doing. I have been working on this ranch for two years, and lhke it better than anything I ever did. Probably a description of the ranch and the way we work would be interesting. It was five or six years ago a sheep ranch, at one time having over 40,000 acres under one fence, and pasturing over 20,000 sheep, all under the management of one man. Later on he changed from sheep to horses, at one time buying a stock of over 2,000 head. It has been his aim to reduce the quantity and improve the quality. For this pur pose he bought two large Norman horses, and selected the best mares, and with the cross we have some as good young stock as you would find in Kentucky or Tennessee. The stock has been reduced to about 1,000 head. They run loose in the pasture. In September we brand the colts, using a stamp iron almost red hot. First we rope the colt by both fore feet as he runs and throw him. As he falls one jumps on his head and another ties him. The brand is then put on until the skin turns red. If branded properly, it falls off, and shows the letter plainly. It is wrong to suppose that all Tex as horses are Spanish: ours are good American blood, many of the mares measuring 15 hands high. There is a farm of 250 acres con nected with the ranch, from which enough food is produced to feed all the colts during the winter. I think the corn will make 50 bushels per acre, and about 30 bushels oats to the acre. The small grain crop is very short everywhere, yet we can buy oats at 16 cents, and with the cash corn can be bought in the shuck at 25 cents a bushel. I have a car load of large. well de veloped horses, shapely and fat, that I would like to send out to Clarendon just to show you what kind of horses we raise. We have also quite a lot of three year old fillies that would sur prise the peo ole, for size, beauty, and cheapness. Parties desiring mares for colt raising would do well to write me. I can always furnish what they want, and guarantee them to be as represented. We are constantly shipping to all parts of the Union, and I think I will try Manning with a load in the fall. We are twenty-five miles south of Coleman city on the Colorado river, where land is cheap and fertile and grass is good. I don't claim this as the El Dorado, but it possesses many advantages over S. C. With kind wishes for the success of the Tnms, I remain, F. C. Tnows. August Superstitions. Whether it be a matter of luck or of learning, many of the astrologist's prophecies for July have been fulfilled. Those for June were almost unani mously proven, while those- made for July were verified to a reasonable ex tent. For Augusb the forecasts are is included in the following generai prophecy : "There will be many sac accidents and troubles, many murder and violent atmospheric disturbances The weather is likely to be hot, witi heavy storms of rain and thunder There will be much sickness, but the number of deaths will be below th< average. August will be a month o: stirring events and accidents through out the world." Sam Jones's Iucome. Cu~v~n Paxn, Maznoxr, IND., Jul) 29.-This has been a stormy day at the Assembly, but all of the services have been conducted as usual. San Jones preached at 11 and 3 o'clock and Ben Deering preached at night The sermons of Mr. Jones to-day were of a more serious kind. Speaking o: his hard work, he said : "I could jusi live in clover if I would. I've got the income without preaching a sermon royalty on my books amounts to more than a tho usand dollars a month, and I could just have a nice time if] wudstay at home. But I'm afraid tc stay at home when I have so many calls to preach. I'd be afraid some thing would happen to my family ; a child might die or my wife might gel siek and die. So I just get up aud go. It's nobody's business how much mon ey I make, how much I get from any source, but it's God's business and mine, too, what I do with it." The Midnight Thought. "Now I lay nie down to sleep," Rather dlo you not plot and plan some moie of your n'iechief, and h-I your mind run on evil things, and that continually. --I pra~y the Lord my soul to keep," Is this a fact, or do you ever -at tempt to p)ray ; and are you sure yo earnestly wish the good Lord to keep vour soul ? "It I should die before I-wake,." Horrible thought ! Where would you be, for an eternity of years, when you did awake ? "I pray th Iar..; emt to 12.,. But suppose the Evil One took your soul ; suppose you found yourself in his clutches. Suppose-suppose-but think it out for yourself, and see where it will land von. A Chat Between Brother-s 1,500 Miles Apart. On Sunday last an hour's conversa tion took place between two brothers -telegraph operators-over 1,500 miles of wire. One of the brothers handled the key in thme Western Union offiee in this city and the other sat at his desk in Omaha, Neb. The circuit ran from Charleston to Augusta, Au gusta to Atlanta, Atlanta to Chatta nooga, Chiattanooga to Cincinnati. Cineinnati to Chicago, and Chicago to Omaha, in all 1,572 miles. The conversation lasted an hour, and as the Charleston man expressed it, "was a social chat about home matters." "Was there any difficulty exper-i enced in speaking over so long a c-ir cuit ?" was asked. "None at all," was the reply. "It w ~as just as if my brother had been itn St. Andrews or on the Island-no -eptible pause between questionsl and nswers.-Charleston World. TIE MANNING TIMES. S. A. NETTLES, Editor. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 7, 1889. The farmers of Abbeville county have already ordered 40,000 yards of cotton bagging. Phil Sheridan's private secretary from 1875 to 1880 is in jail in Kansas City for horse stealing. Sullivan and Kilrain have both been arrested, and will be tried in Missis sippi for prize fighting. The Bank of Florence has declared an 8 per cent dividend. It has been in operation only nine months. E. A. Webster, a Republican of Orangeburg, has been appointed col lector of internal revenue for South Carolina. A shooting affair occurred in Co lumbia last Saturday, between two white men, James I. Clark and W. B. Meetze. Clark was shot through the brain and died. A woman was at the bottom of it. Governor Ross, formerly of Kansas, and one of the United States Senators who stood by Andrew Johnson in the impeachment proceedings, is now em ployed as a printer in the office of the Sante Fe New Mexican. The Georgetown Times says that since Josiah Doar, sheriff of that coun ty, assumed control of the jail, be has had one thousand and thirty prisoners in his custody, and every one is ac counted for ; none has escaped, nor has there been a "jail delivery." William Throckmorton, who resides near Griffin, Ga., has a "'possum farm." In a grove of persimmon trees enclosed by a high board fence he has between 700 and 800 'possums. The business of rearing them for the mar ket is said to be very remuneiative. There has been a decrease in im migration during the last year. The total arrivals in June were only 46,059, as compared with 68,475 a yar ago. The total for the twelve months ending July 1 was 438,619, which is 101201 less than for- Le preceeding twelve months. It is said that a man in Kansas ' anted twenty acres with watermel onsand maimfactured from them 1,000 barrels of vinegar. This story, coming on top of the discovery that an excel lent syrup can be produced from the watermelon, proves that its uses are sour as well as sweet. - The rich American who pays $100,000 for a painting which the French don't want and won't pay half that money for, should also buy to hang near'it, that cheap but excellent motto, printed in colors that will bring apang tohis heart oft as he reads it, MAphul annms muni ar sunpar t'ed." A hog, valued at two dollars, has & aue a'furious feud to break out be Slube, hni nar'invie, K., an travel along the road passing their houses is cut off, while Smiths andl Slushers, with guns and Winchesters, keep guard, watching for each other. When Dr. Nassen lectured in Lon don recently about his trip acrost Greenland, he said his party did not ~.wash themselves for over two months, Sbecause they found that if they let -melted snow come in contact with their hands or faces the skin became Schapped. In this respect they follow ed the custom of the Eskimos, to whomi ablutions are a thing unknown. * It is not generally known that a newspaper in classical Latin is pub lished fortnightly in Italy. Its editor is Carlo Arrigo Ujkiehs, a young scholar of Italian'parentage on one -side, and ofdGerman parentaggon the other, an . he has the assistance of , earned contributors in both nations. It is full of anecdotes, jokes, -and verses in classical dress. The only thing as yet wanting to its per. feet consistency is the translation of the advertisements into the tongue o.l Cicero. The finest and best sponges in the world are now obtained along the Florida Keys. Native Floridians do the principal gathering. There are some Bahama Islanders alho. The sponge fishers are called Conks. They do Dot dive, but tear up the sponges with three-tined forks on long poles. A Greek came down from New York a year or so ago and tried gathering *them by diving, using a regular di ver's suit, but he made a failure of it. Tbe spom'ges grow rapidly. A bed which has been fished clean will be covered with a new growth in six months. The product amounts to near ly half a million dollais annually. In the course of selecting a jury to try a murder case which is proceeding Sthe present time ini Batltimore, SJudge Stewart, the presiding justiee, pronounced a gentleman who was presented and questioned, competent to serve, notwithstanding that he stat ed he had formed an opinion adverse to one of the accused from reading tbe newspapers, which, however, he said would not p~revent his rendering an impartial verdiet according to the evidence. Objections were raised by the defendant's counsel to this ruling, but the Judge held to his decision, replying to counsel: "If you want per sons to serve as jurors who have no opinion you must go to a lunatic asy lum or get persons who have not mix ed with the world." Clarendon County Farmers' Alliance. The Clarendon County Farmers' Alliance will meet at old Fellowship church on Friday Aug. 9th at 11 o'clock.

E.mers lince Sumter News. Mr. G. W. Reardon sent on his bond some time ago, but has not yet received :is commission as Postmaster. It is said tlat the "truly loyal," are still fighting against his appointment. Two young negro men, Anderson Wil liams and Johnson Gass, laborers on the plantation of Dr. E. J. Itembert had a quar rel on last Thursday evening while at the lot, and after angry words and threats had been exchanged Williams struck Gass over the head with a heavy oak stick, knocking him senseless. Williams was arrested and is now in jail awaiting the result. At last accounts Gass was not expected to live, his skull being fractured in three places. A woman was the occasion of the quarrel. Willie Frierson, son of Mr. J. J. Frierson, Jr., received a slight flesh wound, and made a narrow escape from death, on last Wednesday. He and his little cousin, Temn ple, son of Mr. J. Temple Frierson, were out hunting and fishing at a mill pond near their home in the Stateburg neighbor- I hood, and Temple was in the act of loading his rifle when it was accidentally discharged. The ball struck his cousin under the chin, plowing out a piece of flesh about an inch and a half long, but fortunately missed both I chin and throat. Willie is not much hurt, and the wound is rapidly healing. The Sumter Base Ball Club left Sumter last Monday morning for Panola, where they were to meet the Panola Club and cross bats. We hod a pleasant trip through the country. On our arrival at Panola we were taken in charge by Capt. D. W. Brails ford, who showed us every courtesy possi ble, and tried to give us a pleasant day, and right well he succeeded, for the boys are unanimous in declaring that of all the trips we have taken, the one to Panola was by far the pleasantest, and we take this occasion of returning our sincere thanks to the Pa nola club and especially to Capt. Brailsford for our fine treatment and pleasant day. At night a dance was given in honor of our club, but being so fatigued by the long ride they had to forego the pleasure of attending. The Sumter boys were victorious by a score of 13 to 10. MrMBEr. DYSPEPSIA Makes the lives of many people miserable, and often leads to self-destruction. We know of no remedy for dyspepsia more suc cessful than Hood's Sarsaparilla.

C.. 181 Pearl st., N. Y. A novel sight was seen at Glendale, near Spartanburg, the other night. Mr. Sherbert was plowing his field. A passer by in as tonishment asked what he was doing. He replied that it was his own field and if he chose to plow on a moon light night when it was pleasant and rest in the heat of the day, it was nobody's business. BLOOD POISON Is verny liable to follow contact of the hands or face with what is known as poison ivy, especially in hot weather or if the body is perspiring freely. The trouble may sub side for a time, only to appear in aggravated form when opportunity offers. The great purifying powers of Hood's Sarsaparilla thoroughly eradicate every trace of poison from the blood, as the cures it has accomi plished conclusively show. It also cures scrofula, salt rhenm, an d all other affectiom: arising from impure or poisoned bloodi. Frost in Illinois.
