A negro man, of Sumter county, went to Sumter last Saturday a week ago, and after 'buying a lot of grocer ies started for home just a little after :night-fall. When near the limits ol the town, he was attacked by three .other negroes, severely wounded in the back with a razor, and robbed ol his groseries. Lost, between the TIros office and the Methodist parsonage, a gold pin with baby in script engraved on the top surface. The finder will be rewarded if it be left at this office. The music and art room has been fitted up in the Academy with piano, organ, easels, models, and all neces sary art-material. Pupils in this de partment will receive thorough in struction from Miss Marie Graves, oj Virginia, a teacher of seven years' ex perience in instrumental and vocal music, and the fine arts.

Wher one presents a big bill at us now, ir payment of a subscription, we do no' have to run all over town to get th< -ehange, but can simply give a cheel on -the bank.

We heard at least a dozen person say last week that Miss Jenni! Ingram had been elected a teach er in the new school, and as it ws generally understood that she woul< be elected one of the teachers, w, supposed that she had been, -and se stated last week. It appears howev er that as yet the female teacher ha not been elected, and our announce ment was therefore premature. Turnip Seed, all Varieties, in Buik o Paae at Dinkins &r Co.'s Drug Store. Rev. A. Nettles will preach in the Methodist church next Sunday morn ing A number of the colored people of this place attended the Sumter fair for the colored people. A considerabe change in the tem perature to-day. Splendid on turnips, pease, etc., but bad on cotton. The school commissioner givee ro tice in another column of the annual examination for public school teach ers. Mr. George J. Brown is expecting to start a newspaper at St.-Matthews. He has sold out his property in this place. The teachers of the Manning Acad emy are experienced and competent, and will prepare students for any col lege or university desired. The county commissioners met last Thursday, and paid out sixty per cent. of the past floating indebtedness of the county. They will meet again Oc tober 2d. The Alliance is growing rapidly in this county. Hundreds are joining it. Let every farmer join it. It can do him no harm: it will help him and help his neighbor. A colored woman, Lily Days, near Manning, in gaping one day last week, got her jaw dislocated, and could not shut her mouth. She was brought into town, and in a few minutes Dr. Brockinton had her all right. Two juries have been drawn to de termine the compensation to be paid Mrs. S. S. Harvin and Mr. H. J. Mc Leod for right of way of the Eutaw ville Railroad. The juries will meet at Packsville next Friday morning at 10 o'clock. The secretary of the County Alli ance has been directed to call a meet ing of all the presidents of alliances in this county, to meet Saturday morning 11 o'clock, Sep. 28th, to re ceive from him important informa tion concerning alliance business. All the young folks of the county are eagerly anticipating the pleasures that have been prepared for them at Panola, on the 27th inst., and in the light of their past most charming en tertainments we predict that the dash ing troopers will even surpass them selves on this occasion. Mr. T. B. Curtis, of Sumter, has a word to say in another column. He wishes, when a Clarendon man goes to Sumter, to get a chance to sell, feel ing satisfied that his prices and qual ity of goods is sufficient to effect a sale. He is a Charleston man, and will sell at Charleston prices. The contract for repairing the Man ning jail has been given out for $48, to Mr. J. M. Pouncey. We hope he will do a job satisfactory to the coun ty commissioners, the grand jury, the sheriff, and the public generally. Nothing short of this kind of work will, or ought to, be paid for. "When should girls marry" has been extensively discussed of late. Girls should not marry at all; that is a privilege that should be confined exclusively to "grown up" people, and a very respectable minority of these should voluntarily refrain from exercising their inalienable preroga tive. B. Brook, a colored school teacher, took charge of the Foreston post of fice last Friday. Mr. 3. J. Bragdon, an efficient and competent white Democrat, was ousted to make room for Brock. Brock is, however, an in telligent colored man, and is we pre sume fully competent to discharge the duties of the office. There is money in cotton this year. The crop wlll be larger, and the price much higher. But take care ! Don't spend your money carelessly and needlessly. Make an effort to get out of debt, to be your own man for onice Get above the lien. Live ecgnomi cally. Pay your debts. Be a man, the noblest work of God. Threee new sewing machines just received at this office, direct from the manufacturers, and must be sold at once. Full set of attachments and latest improvements. Guaranteed to give satisfaction. Sold below Alliance prices. If you want a first class sew ing machine call at the Tmnes office, and be astonished at the low price. We are having many complaints of subsciibers not getting their pa pers. These complaints are princi pally from Sandy Grove, New Zion, and Mouzons. Something is the mat ter, and we hope things will soon get corrected. Every postmaster says, "It taint me!" Well, who is to blame ? The Tres leaves this office regularly, and we are certain we are not at fault. The telegraph office in Lowry's store is a great convenience to our people. Telegrams will be delivered anywhere in town free, and any mes sage will be sent to the depot for only five cents. Five cents extra will be charged to send regular telegrams from the up town office to other places. The line is a private one, owned by Messrs. Geo. Hammell and N. A. Hall. A Williamsburg constable went to arrest a negro near Greens, on the G. & W. R. R., one day last week, on a warrant charging him with hog stealing. Tne negro said he wouldn't go with the constable, possibly cursed at him, and the constable then shot him down as a dog. Such acts are cruel, and cannot be characterized otherwise than as cold blooded mur der. The constable was not even been arrested. Rigby's horses, while standing in the lot in rear of his store last Wednesday afternoon, became fright ened and dashed ofE At Loyns's cor ner they left the wagon a complete wreck, and with the tongue of the wagon continued their course up street. At the Presbyterian church they separated, one taking the tongue of the wagon and turnixg the corner dashed madly on through the church yard, and reaching a five foot fence in front of Senator Rhame's house dash ed through it, splintering the boards Sinto a thousand pieces. He dashed right on, till he came to a low fence surrounding the flower garden, in which several small children were playing, when he stopped. The wag Son tongue was then between his legs. Had the horse continued through this yard, with the tongue attached to Shim, it is not improbable that several Iof the children would have been seri ously injured, possibly killed. The horse was considerably injured, but not damaged. Cotton sold to-day for 9.80. Children cry for the moon, but men want the earth. The past week has been almost hot. Monday was a very warm day. On account of the Jewish holidays Mr. M. Kalisky's store will be closed on the 26th and 27th. His customers will take due notice. Little Ross, the two-year-old child of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Boyce, of this place, died last Sunday. It was the last flower in the household. - Owing to a piece of carlessness for which the Editor is not responsible, we reprint this week a sermon of Dr. Talmage that we published two weeks ago. But then it is so good it will stand reading a second time. Two men fought a prize fight in a St. Louis barroom Monday night, in which one, who is a youth only eighteen years of age, was so done up that he died yesterday morning. It is characterized as one of the most brutal and bloody fights on record. All parties connected with the fight have been arrested. They ought to be hung. The Summerton folks are going to organize a Chautauqua circle, which is one of the best forms of a literary club we know of. Why can't Man ning get up one ? Several gentlemen of this place told us they would join if one were organized. The ladies will join we know. Let some one take the matter in hand, and organize at once. These clubs must be formed very shortly, or nothing can be done till next year. Who will take the in itiative in organizing a club? - A Visit to Bradham's Gins. Mr. D. M. Bradham has his gin ning establishment in first class run ning order, and is prepared to do all the ginning he can get. He has three sixty-saw gins; one a Smith gin, one a Pratt, and a new Winship he has just bought at a cost of $300. These are all new gins, each fitted up with self-feeders and condensers. Mr. Bradham says it takes just 16 min utes to gin a bale of cotton, and that his gins will gin the cotton as fast as it can be taken from the wagons. He ginned 18 bales last Saturday before dinner. The cotton seed is carried by a cotton seed delivery to a plat form, where it can in a few minutes be shoveled into the wagon; or Mr. Bradham will buy the seed, or ex change cotton seed meal for it. Mr. Bradham is well fitted up for the bus iness. He has just completed, opposite his gin, a large livery, feed, and sale sta ble, which he expects shortly to open. The stable is nicely and conveniently constructed, and will be quite an ad dition to the convenience of the town. Mr. Bradham has, also, a grist mill, which is running every day. He has a saw mill but it is used maro es pecially to cut lumber for his own use. F. Levi Quotes a Few Prices. The Fall season is here, cotton is coming .into market rapidly. Good crops have been made, and all will have more or less money to spend. I am paying the very highest cash prices for cotton, and selling my goods at the very lowest rock bottom cash .figures. Be sure then when in Sumter to call at my store. It will be decidedly to your inter est to do so. In our Black Goods Department we quote Double Width Cash .mere at 25, 30, 35, 40, 50, 75, and $1.00.

Warner's Health Corsets $1.25. Whatever you want, you can get at FERDINAND LEVI'S, Sumter, S. C. Highest Price for Cotton. Messrs. C. R. & W. S. Harvin would say to the planters that if they would consult their own in terest they would have their cot ton ginned and cleaned at their gins. Their gins are in perfect order. Also, their new "Munger" elevator and distributor (the first and only one in the State) is now doing its work perfectly, thereby adding fully 1-4 cent per ih lb. tonrice of cotton. Try them. A COTTONELEVATOR. Harvin Bros. Have Added a Cotton Elf vator to Their -Establishment-A De scription of a Busy Place. Last Friday afternoon we visitei the Harviu Bros. saw mill and cotto1 ginning establishment, and we confes we were very agreeably surprised t, see what a large business they ar carrying on. They have two sal mills, a planing machine, grist mill three cotton gins, and a large com missary. Their saw mill is run by 40 horse power engine, and cut about 15,000 feet of lumber a day They have an iron tram road five an a half miles long and another mile o wooden track, and are now buiTin another mile of track. This roa< leads from the depot to their mill and thence in a westerly direction in to the woods. From the depot t the mills they have a double track and the regular railroad cars ar< hauled by their own engine to thei mills to be loaded. Until recentl: they owned two engines, but the; have sold one, the one of which a] the horses were afraid. This engine hauls the railroad cars to and from the depot, and hauls logs and cros ties from the woods. The cross tie and most of the lumber is shipped A very large business is done in cros ties, a large number being hewed ii the woods and others sawed at the mill. During the spring and summe both saw mills are run, but durin, the fall the smaller mill is stoppe< and its engine, (25-horse power) i used to run the grist mill and cottoi gins. Mr. Harvin says he feels con siderable pride in having undoubted ly the most complete and best equip ped ginning establishment in thi State. He runs three 60-saw Prat gins, to each of which is attached i self-feeder and a condenser. Mr. 'W Scott Harvin is agent for the Prat gins, which are said to be the bes gin made. He also is manufacturer' agent for all kinds of machinery guaranteeing to sell at lowest figures But the feature in which the Messrs Harvin claim superiority is their ne, Munger's patent cotton elevator an< distributor, which they have just pu up, and which is the first and onl: one in this State. It is a beautifu piece of machinery, well worth th< trouble of any one going to see it It cost about $500 to put in place and was put up by Mr. C. R. Harvim one has to see the machine work t< fully appreciate it. A wagon load o cotton is driven under the elevato and a large telescopic tube is rm down almost to the cotton. A largr 35-inch fan then produces a suctioi so strong that the cotton is drawn ul this tube, carried twenty-six feet to i cleaner, and thence by means of i spiked belt carried'to the gins. Thy whole machinery is so nicely adjustei that two boys, one to handle the tel escopic tube in the wagon, and anoth er to look after the three gins and see that the machinery worked all right is all that is necessary to take the cot ton from the wagon, run three gine and turn out the cotton ready to bi packed in bales. The elevator alon, requires about two h'undred feet c belting to run it. It takes from li to 20 minutes to gin a bale of cottor The patent cleaning arrangemeni Mr. Harvin says, is almost perfeci and he says that the manufacture claims that cotton ginned in this wa; will produce a sample so much clean er as to be worth a 1-4 cent more t the pound. The gin is also equipped with seed elevator, by means of which, a soon as the cotton is ginned, the see can be emptied into the wagon; c Mr. Harvin will buy the seed, bein agent for an oil mill. The Messrs. Harvin keep a commil sary, in which they have a stock c groceries equal to almost any store i the county. They employ regularly fifty-tw hands, besides they have about thirt others in the woods, cutting cross tie: They pay off every two weeks, nearl $700, and during the year they pa not less than $15,000. All their hana live in or near Manning, and thus is readily seen the business done b; this taill is equal to that done by large cotton factory. Besides thi they pay large sums for timbei They think there is timber enoug easy accessible, to keep the mill rui ning about six years. MAN NING'S BOOM.

N Summerton News. StUMEEToN, Sep. 16.-Rev. M. P. Math ing, of Dallas, Texas, has just closed week's meeting in the Baptist church in thi place. Considerable interest was mai fested. Two joined the church. 1 Cotton sold in this market on Saturda: s for 10c middling. This is the place to bu: goods cheap, and sell your cotton for the 'highest price. I notice in last week's edition, on the branch railroad, you seem to want to leav< Summerton out of the route. Well, I don' blame you much, for I expect your trii down here convinced you it would not bi any advantage to Manning for the road t< come by Summerton, but I am sure it would be greatly to the advantage of the road; s< I say let the ditch be cut, and let the wate: take its course. The machinery for the oil mill is coming in, and we hope to be ready for ginning it a short time. Business is brisk and the merchant seems r to be happy. Cotton is shipped from this place on the W. & S. R. R. for same price as from Man 1 ning, only one cent more on the hundred. Maj. R. R.

The County Com missioners awarded the repairing of the -bridge at Plowdens Mill to Mr. Brunsor I Davis for $40. Mr. Davis worked on the I bridge two or three days. He put in threi new posts and made some other small ad ditions, and said he made $25 on the job 1 I also heard another man say that he would have been glad to have got the job for $20 If this be so our commissioners should be more careful in their contracts. Some of us - have to work very hard to get money to pay taxes. I have the best regards for the com missioners. A. J. TINDAL. Manning, S. C., Sep. 16, 1889.

All were surprise to see it, but these lightning rod agents ar great talkers, they can beat a sewing machin agent or a life insurance agent. When th thing was discovered sticking up on th house, you ought to have seen his neighbor packing up and preparing to move. Enquir was made why they were moving.

PAYoJ.A, Sept. 16.-An intimate personal acquaintance with the surrounding corn munity at Rosin Hill or Mill Valley assures you that there live some of the most hos pitable families Clarendon affords. Rosin Hill, as your readers well know, is a busi ness place, just one half mile from Mill Valley. The Entawville Railroad passes Mill Valley and Rosin Hill just equal dis tance between the two. A depot will be established just where the road crosses. A beautiful landscape lies south of Sammy Swamp. There never was a prettier loca tion for a country village, Rosin Hill being the capital of Panola. A large business of turpentine, a steam grist mill with a fine stand of merchandise conducted by Mr. R. F. Milligan. The colored people have a large church beautifully whitewashed. Mill Valley also has a fine academy. A gin and grist mill is owned and run successfully by Mr. A. V. Thames. Between these two last named points passes the said road, crossing the Vances Ferry public road just about midway. Here the depot is to be located. I understand the names will be changed to Silver in honor of the president of the road. It was my pleasure to be present Satur day at the company drill of the Connor Mounted Riflemen, Rosin Hill being their chosen place of rendezvous. It is needless for me to say much about this old company. Its history has been too well written. It is now composed of some of the best young meif of the day. Its members are all hand some, brave men, fully determined to keep up their organization, fitted for any emer gency. It was their business day, making preparation for the day of inspection. To show you what unbounded interest is man ifested, it was brought to the notice of the company that a rumor was circulated in an other section that the Connor Mounted Rifle men were to be disbanded because of luke warmness upon the part of its members. This gave rise to much animated discussion, each member expressing indignation at the falsity of the rumor. Sergeant A - crit icised the rumor severely as an unpopular flying report. He said, "This company will never disband. As for myself I want to leave this rifle I hold in my hands to my grandchildren." Lieut. E. P. Briggs made an earnest, impressive speech. His remarks were characterized and replete with humor, wit, and fun, which gave life to the occa sion. If there is the least hope that this company will disband, and another built up on its downfall the sooner such expecta tions are dispelled the better. The flag was delivered to the keeping of Mr. J.
