Bradham is adding another 60 saw gin, feeder, and condenser to his al ready well equipped ginnery, and says he will be able to gin and pack a bale of cotton this fall in fifteen minutes and as neatly as can be done in the county. One of the most reliably and pop ular drug stores in the State is that of Dinkins & Co. Dr. R. B. Loryea, the junior member of the firm, has principal charge of the drug depart ment, and he is very careful and accu ra te. It is a pleasure to no'e the suc cess he has met with since he came to Manning. We publish no communication un less accompanied by the name of the Itr f "Visitor" h'ad sent her name ada case echarge was as .It seems that the bant 1 Alerman's Mills have a hab it of "nisheratin'" one another, 'which is done by two or three taking another fellow and, having placed him across a convenient log or barrel, face down, he is "nisherated" by giving him a trouncing, either with a switch or pad die. One fellow, who thus was initia ted last Sunday, was induced to come to Manning and swear out a warranf for assault and battery. It proved to have been only a piece of fun, and af ter hearing testimony, the trial justice dismissed the case. The boy who was whipped, and who swore out the war rant, failed to appear at the trial. Fresh and Genuine Turnip Seed at Din kmns & Co.'s Drug Store. - Our foreman got into trouble last week, and got it bad. Last Thursday afternoon, after quitting work, he went to his room to "primp up" for a 'set up" to his best girL. He was briskly sharpeningr his razor, so that it would cut his incipient mustache, when a slip, and the end of one of his fingers was split to the bone. It was the thumb of his right hand, and in consequence he had to wait for it to heal up before he could set any more type. He took ebjarge of the job press, but while running it Saturday morning, his thoughts went cantering off to the sweet smiles and loving looks of that "best girl," and hie got his hand caught in the press, mashing it and injuring it considerably. For tunately no bones were broken, and he will soon be himhelf again; and fortunately for us, his brother, Prof. J. M. Knight, who is on a visit to him, is also an experienced typo, and throwing off' his coat, Prof. Knight took his brother's place in "stickin' em up." The Tnras this week is greatly indebted to Prof. Knight for his valu able assistance. T'rnrip Seed, aill Varieties, in Bulk or Pckages at Dinkins & Co.'s Drug Store. It is said that in some sections of this county society is considerably depra ved. For instance, some few years ago a white man in Orangeburg county ws living with a negro woman, to the disgust of his neighbors. They quietly waited on him with the information that his immediate departure would be a pleasure to them. He simply cross ed the river, and Clarendon county furnishes .an undisturbed homefor the white man and negro woman, who con tinue to share their earthly posses sions. This case was reported to a member of the grand jury two years :go, but no notice 'was taken of it. It is said, as, that there are three white women in the same section who are moral eyesores to their neighbors. In fa& there are not a few cases of moral leprosy in this county. Something ought to be doune in the matter, but who will move ? They should be re ported to the grand jury. Let any and every decent member of society report to the grand jury such cases as may come under his observation, with the names of the witnesses to prove the charge. The moon fulls next Saturday. Rags wanted at G. Alexander's. Best Rice in town at 10 cents a quart at M. Kalisky's. 2 14-oz. bars of soap for 5 cents at M. Kalisky's. Buy fresh turnip seed from Dr. Nettles's drug store, at Foreston. The books of the Summerton cotton seed oil mill will be opened in Sum merton next Tuesday. See advertise 1ment. Grass is growing this damp weath er, and we hope there will be harvest ed the largest hay crop in the history of the county. Mr. Moses Levi has had built in his wagon yard a number of horse stalls, that will be of great conven ience to the country people. A mountain excursion train leaves Charleston every Friday afternoon and returns the following Monday morn ing. It stops at Lanes, Manning, and Sumter. Rain, rain, rain. Some say they have entirely too much and cotton is suffer ing ; others say it is all right yet. A week's dry weather would certainly do no harm. Mr. John B. Mellette requests us to say that he has been appointed Coun ty Organizer for the Farmers' Alliance, and will promptly go to any point where he may be needed. It's hard work this hot weather to get up enough news to fill a big paper like the Tm. The paper consists almost entirely of reading matter; we having few advertisements this -sum mer. Dog days began the last Sunday in June, which was showery. An old saying is that if it rains the first day of dog days it will rain every day for forty days. It looks as if it will be true this year. There will be an excursion next Wednesday, Aug. 14th, from Charles ton to the mountains. The price for return tickets from Charleston to Greenville is $5.50 ; to Spartanburg $5.00 ; to Hendersonville $6.50 ; to Asheville $7.25. Tickets will be good to return on any train to Aug. 31st. There is a prominent gentleman in town who is living entirely on peach es. The other members of the family are off on a summer trip, and he, hav ing discharged the cook, satiates the guawings of hunger with peaches. He has tried it a we4k and seems to enjoy it and to thrive on this delectable fruit. We have only one sewing machine left, which we will sell at very low figures to close out. We had rather have the money than a sewing ma chine this time of the year. A new Singer sewing machine, complete with- all the latest improvements, for only $18 cash, delivered at the Tnirs office. Just to think of it, only $18. But we swant the money. During the past week Capt. D. J. Bradham has organized four sub-alli ances: Pine Grove; Palmetto, in New Harmony; New Zion; and Home Branch. Capt. Bradham says that the best people in the county are joining, and that several other sub ' ized very et last' lthat a next Friday at hip church, immediately] 'journmnent of the Countyv ce, as the president has been re quested to call a meeting at that time. Dog days are here, and a morbid spirit of bilious and bellicous bellig erence seems to pervade the atmos phere. Trial'Justice Benbow says that nearly everybody wants to go to law, and that as soon ascrops are laid by the colored people, a good many of the bad ones, want to get into the law.1 He likens them to a lot of poor shotes let into a potao patch. They soon get full of devilry, and there is no telling what will happen. We have heard oth er trial justices talk the same way. We suppose it's just one of those things that can't be helped. Mr. W. E. Burgess has accepted a situation as salesman with Mr. A. A., Soloons, of sumter, and last Thurs day, Aug. 1st, he entered upon' the! discharge of his duties. Mr. Burgess was one of our best young men, and was always a popular salesman, being a great favorite especially with the ladies. He was with Mr. Loy as for, eight years, and was with Mr. Levi for one year. Manning does not like' to give up such men. All the town, however, wishes Mr. Burgess great suc'cess in his new home, and te will certainly call on him when in~ Sumter. The Summerton cotton seed oil mill has obtained its charter, and will next Tuesday open its subscription books at Summnerton. We understand that it will begin on a $10,000 capital, to be increased as needed. The value of a share has been placed at only $25, and every person in and around Sum merton ought to feel it his duty to take at least one share. It will profit the place and all the people greatly, besides there is no doubt but that with proper managemint it will pay! a handsome dividend. Summerton has done well to organize this cotton seed oil mill. Another Cutting Affray. A serious cutting affray occurred near Manning yesterday morning, be-; tween Pedro Meyers and Bland Hayes, both colored. As well as we can learn I the particulars, Pedro and Bland were riding out into the woods, (they are working at the mills of Harvin Bros.) when Pedro charged Bland with des troying a part of his mule's bridle. Bland admitted the charge, a few* words and curses passed between them, when Bland with the butt end, oawhip struck Pedro three times, on his head, neck, and arm, the last time knocking him off his mule. Pedro says 1he then ran, Bland still following and Istriking him. One blow partially par alyzed his left arm, but getting out his knife, he opened the blade with his ,teeth, and wheeling on Bland, cut him. One cut is just above the heart and into the left lung, the gash being about three inches lo~ng. Another cut was im the forearm. The wound irito the lung1 is a dangerous one, though he may survive. If he dies, however, it will be an exception, for Clarendon people seldom die from such causes. Pedro immediately came into town and sur--I Irendered to the sherif.s He talks free ly on the subject and says he did it in self-defence. Another Prize Drawing. We are going to have another GRAND GIFT DISTRIBUTION in October. We shall offer not less than twenty-five valuable prizes, among which will be a sewing ,uachine and a cooking stove. Our chief idea is to get our subscription list paid up in ad vance. A ticket will be given every subscriber whose subscription is paid to or beyond Sep. 1, 1890. There will be FOUR GOLD PRIZES : $10 in gold ; $5 in gold ; $2.50 in gold, and $1 in gold. We mean business. Full particulars will be published later. But in the meantime pay up, and be sure to have a ticket for the Distribu tion. The Manning Academy. The Manning Academy will 'begin its twenty-second session Monday, Sep. 2, 1889, with Rev. T. J. Rooke and Mrs. E. C. Alsbrook as principals. Mr. Rooke is well-known in this county, and is a teacher of fine parts, being thorough and systematic in his methods. He has had considerable ex perience in teaching, and we are con fident will give satisfaction to the pat rons of the Academy. Mrs. Alsbrook has taught in the Academy for six years, and has the reputation of being an excellent teach r. Miss Graves comes with the high st recommendations and certificates Df proficiency. She willbe quite an ac guisition to the Academy and to the town. The editor of this paper has for sev en years been principal of the Acad emy, but newspaper work has so en 3roached on his time, that he has thought it best to resign that position. Re will hereafter devote his time en irely to newspaper work. He feels a peculiar satisfaction, however, in leav ing the welfare of the Manning Acad emy in such good hands, feeling as mured it will continue to maintain the ine reputation it has won. The Academy has a bright prospect .or a prosperous year. Policeman Clark Vindicated. The Town Council met last Friday for the alleged purpose of investigat ng the charges against Policeman Earry Clark. A full council was pres t. Joseph F. Rhame, Esq., appeared is counsel for Mr. Clark. The chargesI were read and the names of the wit aesses called. Council directed their lerk, John S. Wilson, Esq., to con luct the examination of the witnesses. %r. Wilson stated that he knew noth ing about the case, nor what the wit aesses would prove. Mr. Galluchat, who had preferred the charges, then sked permission to assist, by ques ioning the witnesses. The Council lecided that Mr. Wilson was fully able to conduct the examination without1 ssistance, and die.lined to let Mr. 3alluhat have anything to do with the case. All the witnesses were exam ned, but their testimony developed ' hn of the charges, and~ dnrated of bfame in . The Tnirs, in its publl ~ ount, >laced the blame for this affion the ~oliceman. The above verdict says we vere wrong, and that the policeman vas not to blame. We were conscien ious in what wve wrote, and had the hree miembers of the Town Council to vhom we spoke on the subject to tell is that we were right in what wve had jaid. The Council is composed of five nembers. But, if we were right, it would have been impossible for them :o have found the verdict they did : ;herefore, we must have been wrong, md the Council must have since dis ~overed that not the policeman, but heselves are the ones to blame. If such be the case we then have done t injustice to Policeman Clark, and ire sorry for it. But then the charges we made were iot flippantly made, and, as somebody s to blame, it seems natural to con lude that the Town Council is at rault. Are they ? ,Bits from Bonanza. BosAxza, Aug.5.-We have no news >f interest this week. Mrs. WV. T. Sprott continues very 1. They have the sympathy of the en ire community. No other sickness in :he neighborhood that we have heard Through the farmers that we have een we learn that the cotton cropI rospect has fallen off very much in e past two or three weeks. Corn: ~rops will be good ; also peas and po :atoes. Our own little crop at Bonan a is very encouraging so far, though we are afraid to tell it above a whis-! er, surrounded as we are by so many good farmers and we only an amateur, it least as far as cotton is concerned, it being our second year's experience with the King. We used the following; is a fertilizer, per aere: Cotton seed; eal, 100 lbs. per acre; Kainit, 50 lbs; tid Phosphate, 50 lbs. We will, if we realize our hopes, give the readers of he Tni~s the result later. Road work is the program now. We ave had plenty of rain. We were at Foreston last week,-and ioticed some fine crops of corn and otton and some improvements going >n, notably Dr. Nettles. He now has very desirable place. His success hows what energy will do. We found nerchants and people in good spirits md hopeful.___ J. New Zion P'aragraphs.

A Big 'Wtera Land Syndicate Have Bought 20,000 acres of Santee Swamp Lands-The Timber to be Cut and Shipped North. Messrs Joseph Rathbone and Fran cis Beidler, the two Western lumber men who visited Charleston last week with a view to investing in timber lands, have returned to Chicago, car rying with them,'it is said, the titles to twenty thousand acres of land on the Santee River. The land purchased by these gentlemen embraces several contiguous tracts, notably the Rich ardson tract, all lying along the San tee River, near the confluence of the Congaree and Wateree rivers. They are wooded lands and contain some of the finest cypress timber in the coun try. The gentleman who was principally instrumental in inducing Messrs Rath bone and Beidler to visit Charleston, said yesterday that he anticipated big things from their investment. "They have a big lumber business in the West," he said, "and ship annu ally 20,000 car-loads of lumber out of Chicago. But the vast forests of the North and West are fast yielding to the mill and the axman, and the fact that they will ultimately soon disap pear altogether has induced them to look elsewhere for their supplies. Their attention was attracted to South Carolina by a clipping from the News and Courier, which I sent them, giv ing some idea of our vast virgin for ests and splendid resources in timber. They came to Charleston and as the result of that visit have bought 20,000 acres of land which they propose to work as soon as the proper time ar rives. They may work the timber at first in connection with their Chicago business, but I am in hopes that they will ultimately move their entire plant to South Carolina. "It was their original intention to cut the timber, carry it down the San tee and ship it North from the mouth of that river. But, after consultation with Capt. Abbot, the United States engineer, they found that the river was not sufficiently opened up or nav igable for this purpose and will move it by rail. They will probably also build an independent line from theft lands to connect them with the rail road and do a great deal of ~pioneer ing." Speaking of the timber resources of the State, the gentleman said that land was remarkably cheap. Large tracts, with virgin forests on them, could be bought now for 50 cents an acre. True, they were far removed from any of the mills and their own ers had done nothing but pay taxes on them. But it would not be so al ways. The disappearance of the North ern forests would soon drive other pi oneers South, and these lands will then be valuable if only for the timber that is on them.-News and Courier. A grand Hop at Panola. P.Lo, Aug. 1.--When the game be tween the Sumter and Panola base ball clubs ended in favor of the for mer-, the crowd gradually dispersed to their respective homes in order to pre pare for a grand hop gotten up by the people of Panola at their beautiful and spacious Academy. 'T e29th. dav off . will opg be. iiinembered a usy ay or Pa'~iar At the Academy men were at work prepaing the 'hall for the dance. Desks were moved and seats placed artistically around the hall and on the porch, so that those who did not wish to dance could sit comfortably and look on. About half-past nine in the evening the building was filled with Sumter's and Clarendon's most beau tiful dancers, and all ears were eager ly listening for the music to com mence. Music was furnished by a few members of the Clarendon band. The dance was so suddenly gotten up that the committee could do no better. 'Twasplendid all the same. The hall was beautiful, and the lamps which had been hung around the walls looked dowvn upon the grace ful dancers as they glided over the smooth floor. Silk dresses and dia monds, grey coats and brass buttons, and black coats made a beautiful ap pearance as they mingled together in the dance or in the promenade around the room. At half-past eleven the German commenced, which was kept up until the close of the Hop, when every one wvent away with light hearts to think and dream about the pleasures of the past evening. Among the dancers were Misses Nannie Richardson, Caio Belser, Ed na Weeks, Annie Brailsford, Caroline and Noddie Richardson, from Claren don; Misses Moran and Annie Epper son, from Sumter. Some of the gentle men present were Messrs. Bultman, Ellis Green, and Flowers, from Sum ter ; Cadet Brailsford, from the Cita del ; Cadets Richbourg, Harvin, and Mathis, from the P. M. I.; Messrs. W. B. Bonham, E. P. Briggs, R. C. Rich ardson, Jr., H. B. Richardson, J. M. Richardson, Jr., Charlie Coullette, F. Chewning, and Lucien Brailsford. SIG. Picnic at Panola. P~AoLA, Aug. 1.-Last Thursday, the 25th inst., a few of the ncighbors from this place gave a picnic at Se:>tt's Lake, which was enjoyed very much by all present. Boat riding, croquet, crrd playing, and target shooting were the cief pleasures of the day. About two o'clock~ dinner was announced, which was partaken of with great avid ity by thghungry spectators. Every body seemed to have had a plenty, as full justice was done to the refresh ments provided for the occasion. Not withstanding the cloudy and dismal aspect of the weather all. seemed loth to depart. Before taking their depart ure several persons visited Fort WVat son. At this place a large snake was killed by Messrs. W. S. Fairey and S. A. Harvin. When the hour for bid ding farewell to this lovely spot arriv ed the happy party, midst smiles and regrets, wvended their way homeward. Altogether, the day was a very pleas ant one, and but for the rain, which fell heavily towards nightfall, nothing occurred to mar the happiness of any Misses Julia and Mary Nettles, who have been spending some time with Mr W. W. Brailsford's family, ex pect to leave to-day for their home at Privateer. VISITOR. SBROWNWS iRON BIT TERS Cures Indigestion, iBiliousness", Dyspepsia, Mala ria, Nervousness, and General Debility.

We fear it will have a tendency to make cotton shed its fruit. Corn crops are finer than for years. The wedding bells may now be dis tinctly heard. Mr. W. A. Sparks, of Blenheim, Marlboro county, will lead to Hymen's altar on Wednesday next 5 o'clocZ p. X., Miss. Mary Nettles of this town. No cards. Rev. J. S. Porter, P. C. of this cir cuit, gave us a very forcible and im pressive sermon on last Sabbath morning, from the text "Exhort one another daily." Mr. Porter is an ear nest worker and greatly beloved by most of his parishoners. This is his thiid year among us, and it is quite probable the conference will extend him to its utmost limit which is one year more I believe. A game of ball was played here on Saturday last between two colored clubs, Foreston and Santee. The score stood 24 to 27 in favor of San tee. We were pleased to see Mr. Moul trie Bagnal of your town upon our streets on yesterday.

We are having more rain than we like to have, but not as much as in some other parts ~of the State. I don't think that crops -have suffered from the rains as yet. The petition for a charter for the Summerton cotton seed oil mill has been granted, and the books of sub scription will be opened at once. The lumber for the building is being haul ed to the place, and work will be commenced this week. We expect to be ready for business by the first of September. The building committee is Dr. B. M. Badger, S. R. Cole, and R. H. Belser. The incorporators are Thomas Wilson, J. D. Rutledge, R. H. Belser, and J. J. Ragin. Some lots in the village have been sold and others are being treated for. Would say just here it has been reported that land could not be bought in this place. Such is not the case. I know several parties that are anxious to sell, and any parties that want to invest can buy lots as cheap here as in any other village with advantageous surround ings.

The donkey party and sunflower tea at Dr. T. L. Burgess's last Wednesday evening was quite a pleas. ant affair. ~It was given for the bene fit of Carlislk literary society. About $1 was realized by the entertainment. Miss Maria Pearson, of Sumter, is Miss Margaret Bagnal, of Foreston, is visiting at Dr. Burgess's. Lieut. Cabaniss is here summering it with his family. Capt. Peterkini spent a night here last week. He is treating for lumber in the Santee. The Captain is a live man and an interesting talker. Mr. John R.

He has our most hearty congratulatin. C. To Cure the Taste for Liquor. - Yu publisbed to-day a letter of an anony mous correspondent asking: "Can any one give me a cure for drunkenness ? I will in the same way give your correspondent a cure, through you, if yotgwill publish it. Indulgence in spirits after a while which is longer or shorter according to the constitution of the person-produces irrita tion,.inlnammation and fever of the stomach, hence the craving for drink; and the great er the fever the greater the craving. As spirits act also on the nervous system and on the brain, the nervous system becomes impaired and the brain weakened. Who can deny that a person ailing in these sev eral ways is laboring under a serious dis ease ? He has then no will power to exer cise, because the seat of his will is in the nervous centres, and when these are im paired or destroyed so is also the will pow Here is the cure: Let the person have within his reach a small vial of the best kind of tincture *of Peruvian bark, and when the craving for liquor comes on him let him take a teaspoonful of the tincture every two hours. In a few days the taste for liquor is destroyed, and destroyed while indulging in it, for tincture of Peruvian bark is spirits into which has been drawn all the substance of P'eruvian bark. It is to be found in every drug store, but it should be of the very best. Peruvian bark is a tonic. It is also the best, if not the only, cure known for fever. It is from Peruvian bark that quinine is ex traed, and, moreover, it is an anti-period IC. It is by these three agencies that it destroys the craving for liquor. Any one wishing to be cured of that ailment can be in the way I have described, but there are few drunkards who wish to be cured.-Xin 5. Y. Sun. Little Red Ants. I have found by experience, says the ed itor of one of our exchanges, that lhttle red ants cannot travel over wool or rag carpet. I covered my floor with course baize, set my sofa on that, and have not been troubled since. Cover a shelf in your closet or pan try with flannel, set whatever you wish to keep from the ants on it, and they will at once disappear. I have tried it. Montgomery's First Bait'. MONTGOMERY, August 2.-The first bale of new cotton was received this morning and was sold at auction at 10 cents per pound. It was raised by Pey ton Hall, who has sent in the first bale for several years.

Genuine a trade mark and crossed red lines on wrapper. lust received spring styles of ginghams Examine our pure silk gloves at 3.5c. Don't Take Her Arm Young .uan. The question is ott:n put. "Whetter it is ever permissible to take a young luly's arm in acting as her escort on a prot-nade after nightfall?" Unhesitatingly and peremptorily, no. Not after nightfall, nor by daylight, nor at any other time. An invalid may lean upon a young woman's arm; a grandfather, if he is infirm, may avail himself of a sim ilar support, and a muscular policeman seems to have acquired the right to propel his charges in petticoats across the tLor oughfares by a grasp upon the arm, but these are the only iale persons so privileged. For an acquaintance, or a friend, or one who aspires to a still nearer place, to take the arm of a young woman when paking with her on the public highway is inexcus able. Von may be sure nothing will so quickly offend her good taste, although she may lack the social skill to resent and avoid it. And the spectacle in itself is almost unpleasing. To see a young woman pushed along a little in front of her escort, by his clutch upon her arm, is neither suitable nor picturesque. It reverses all preconceived ideas of gallantry. The fair should lean upon the brave. Virile strength ought ever to support feminine frailness. Offer her your arm, young man, every time and never under a my circum stances commit the familiarity and offense of taking hers. -..-0- 4 The Different Stages at Which They En tered the Game. The Methodists and Baptists have been the pioneers for a century and carried their religion into the wilderness and established civilization. They drove mules and drove ox wagons and cieared the land, built log churches, and when everything was sorter comfortable the Presbyterians came riding up in their buggies and rockaways and set tIed among them, and planted out shade trees and rose bushes and built a church with a steeple, and set up the Shorter Cate chism and predestination, and moved around as though they were the eject. By and by, when two or three railroads were built, and the shade trees had all grown up and the green grass was growing all around and the streets were macadamized, and an opera house built, the Episcopolians came along in apostolic succession, with stately steps and prayer books and Lent and Mar di Gras all mixed up together, and they bobbed up serenely into a fine church with stained glass windows and assumed to be the saints for whom the world was made in six days, and all very good.-Bill Arp, in At lanta Constitudion. How to be Happy, Though Married. American girls would hardly relish the advice given at the time of marriage to maidens in some parts of the East. When an Arab damsel gets married her mother gives her the following advice for securing her future happiness: "You are leaving your nest to live with a man with whose I ways and h-abits you are unfamiliar. I ad vise you to be his slave if you wish to be come the absolutL mistress of your hug band. Be satisfied with little, endeavor to feed him well and watch over his sleep, for hun ger begets anger, and slec ple-r~es. makes a man cross-grained.
