Baanam, Jas. E. TINDAL, Secretary. President. The City of Sumter Wears a Bustle. When one goes to Sumter and rides down Main street he is invariably attracted by the throngs of people that congregate at a cer tain place. The inquiry is at once made, "What is all this bustle about?" The an swer always is, "The rush to Levi's." l'er dinand Levi, at the Bogin old stand, is the place to make your purchases. Our Sumter kicture. We were in Sumter last Thursday, and were surprised to see the large amount of business done in that city. It is a busy town. A number of the business firms are catering to the Clarendon trade, and a glance at the opposite page, almost exclusively oc cupied with Sumter advertisements, will convince the reader that they mean busi ness. A week or two ago we had a word or two to say of several of these merchants. Next week we shall have more to say of five or six new ones that appear in this issue, and by that time we shall also probably have two or three other Sumter "ads" to add to the picture. We will next week enlarge our paper, making it one-half larger than it is, and then we will not be cramped, as we are this week. But in the meantime read each one of the advertisements ,care fully, and note the business ring of them all. Sumter means business. The following is a list of our Sumter ad vertisements in this week's paper: Ferdinand Levi. R. W. DuBant& Son. Wilson & Spann. T. C. Scaffe. Bultmann & Bro. D. J. Winn. T. B. Curtis. DuBant & Belitzer. J. F. W. DeLorme. J. Ryttenberg &Sons. C. L Hoyt & Bro. John Reid. L. W. Folsom. O'Donnell & Co. MANNING'S BOOM.

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 lb. to price of cotton. Try them. 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.

This letter is from a malarial section. WEST POINT, MISs. Having shown me th% formula for making your tonic while visiting your city the past summer I take great pleasure in recom' mending it.

For sale in Manning by Dinkins & Co.; in Foreston by Dr. L. W. Nettles. Denies the Charge. Mn. EDrro:-I am greatly surprised at the communication of your correspondent A. J. Tindal. Before making statements calculated to injure the commissioners (for I know he is not after me) he should have informed himself by a personal examina tion of .the bridge, and not rely upon hear say. I deny emphatically the statements made by him, for I.did more work than he says that I did, and never, to any one, said that I made $2.5 by the job. Say to friend Tindal to remember the golden rule, and not be slinging mud at those who are trying to do their duty, just on account of hearsag. W. J. B. DAVIs. Sept. 21st, 18S9.

SCOTT HA RVIN, We are pleased to state that we now have in store and are daily receiving one f the most COMPLETE STOCKS of Merchandise ever brought to the interior. Our stock consists of All Lines of Merchandise. Hardware, Dry Goods, Groceries, Crockery, Queensware, Tinware, and in fact any and all articles and items that the average man or.woman could want. We have on hand one of the finest lines of Cooks ever brought to any market. We have in this line of Cooks all numbers and sizes. Small enough for the young man just mar ried, and large enough for a family of twenty. We have taken great pains this year in the se lection of our stock of Fancy .and Staple Groceries, and all we can say is that we want all the good accounts in town and in the country. We can and will sell you all the goods you want cheaper than 'ou can buy them, and all you will have to do to convince Yourself of this fact is to come and see, and you will be convinced that our stock by far is superior to anything in this section of the State. We keep no goods but what we buy from first hands, and all such we can recommend. Besides this we have abolished the old mode of transacting business. In former years, we owing to the fact that we like all Americans like to keep up with the fashion and the ways of all around us, have sold goods too high in order to make a good shoving of assets. But the writer had a dream. He was in his office, he had ledgers piled high, that represented thousands of dollars, 3-8 claims out of date, barred by the Statute of limitation, 3-8 barred by the right of the landlord, and 2-8 barred by the drought and expiration of wind .in the lungs of old ponies and blind mules. All these amounts kept running on; each year they were. footed up as assets-a big bubble made, filled with air, and like the boy's soap bubble soon burst, ten ant gone, account worthless. He had run the tenant in the spring and summer, when naught was in sight; the landlord took him up when the cotton came in. He awoke, and swore that he would never follow such business again; that bright as the prospects might be, that armed with all the wisdom and energy he could command, and closing his ear to the suffering of the past, He would foreverquit the old mode,and change== his business to 'something tangible. r So this year we have done so-we will sell you all the goods you want for credit or cash at lower prices than you ever bought at before; but let's have some idea when you are going to pay We don't want any more millennium accounts or notes. We may not be present to collect them and the banks don't want any paper over four months, and we sincerely trust we will get the' crop of 1889 out before it comes, for we have one of the largest crops this year that we have ever had. No introduction is needed, no apology is offered for 1889. It comes freighted with the wisdom of centuries and each corn crib is loaded with the richest treasure that God ever gave man. Bread no object and Bacon at the price we are selling, not one can complain. And all should feel good this year. Let us get out of debt; let all of as: commence anew, and the prices we are selling any and all lines of goods at to-day, willeon=' vince all that come that some miraculous change has taken place. Well it has. We Want to Live, and Want You to Live' } nd we therefore shall try and please all in prices and goods, and we want to build up in Maa ing what Clarend~on County needs, a first class store where you can get what you want andare n need of at a living price, and in order to convince youi of this we must ask you to come ad ee. Yes, crops are magnificent this year; cotton bringing bette rices than for years s get out of debt, and w -~ a cash basis. I am e he nducements that any merchant can e r. Come o MOSE~S LEVI. DIG.
