THE MANIN TIMES.' S. A. NETTLES, Editor. WEDNESDAY, October 9,1889. CONFEDERATE PENSIONERS. The Confederate Survivor' Associ ation of Clarendon county met last Monday, in the court house, at 12.30 o'clock, Mr. W. J. Clark, presi dent. Rev. H. W. Mahoney opened the meeting with prayer. On account of the short time in which notice of the meeting was given, there was a small attendance, and it was decide( to adjourn till Monday Oct. 21st, when it is hoped there will be a large attendance. This is a subject that ought to in terest us all, and every Confederate veteran should endeavor to be present. Let the notice be generally extended, talk about it to your neighbor, get him interested in the meeting, and let the court house be crowded with old Confederate soldiers at the next meeting. The main object of the meeting is to canvass the list of pen sioners, and decide if all on that.list are under the law entitled to receive a pension; also, to see if all who are really deserving a pension are among .the list of pensioners. Another object, and one we hope will be carried out, is to form a Survivors' Association. The company reunions are good things and ought to be kept up, but the desire is to go a step further, and to have a County Surviv ors' Association, an organization com posed of all in the county who served in the war. Such an organization will tend to draw the old soldiers closer together, and will prove a source of great pleasure to its members. Let everybody come out to the meeting next Monday week, October 21st. TOO MAM LUNATICS. A week or two ago the wife of Nel son Prince raised enough money to pay her way to Columbia to see her husband, who had been sent from this county to the Lunatic Asylum. When she got to the Asylum, she says the superintendent told her that Nelson was not crazy but was only sich, that he was not a fit subject for the Asylum, but that he was suffering with dyspepsia and cancer of the stomach, and that if she would she bould take him back home with her. SShe did bring him back with her and Now, whods to blame for thi"'" the facts in the case are as represent ed to us, and a prominent gentleman .of the county is our informant, then the two physicians who conducted the examination are the ones to blame. In fact, in every case, if any error is -u made in sending any one to the Asy ~lum, the two physicians who examine the patient are the only persons re sjonsible. The law gives them all ~the power, and they should conduct .the examination with great care. Peasons who are not crazy should not be sent to the asylum. It has cost this county nearly $500 to send lunatics to the Asylum the past year ! he probate judge gets $3 in each cse; the two physicians get $5 each for their examination; the trial justice -gets $1; and then if the -pbysicians decide that the party is a lunatic thd sheriff gets about $24 for carrying him to the Asylum. The matter ought to be looked in to. It really appears as if every color ed person who is severely afflicted and is suffering great pain is repre setdas a fit subject for the Asylum. Iisbeginning to be looked upon by many of the colored people as a con-. aiderable distinction to, be sent to the Asylum, just as with a large part of them it makes a hero of one to serve a term in the penitentiary. If every county in.the State were to send as many lunatics(?) to the Asylum as Clarendon does, a new asylum would -at once have to be built. In some cases a little medical attention would be all that is needed; in others a good sound thrashing would be the proper 'thing. . Petit Jury-October Term.

Among Wilkie Collins's latest words were these: "I want a simple funeral and no feathers, no crape, no forms or cerenionies." his wishes were respected. That man or % oman who malicious ly and secretly attempts to injure an other's reputation, would not, were the opportunity to present itself, hes itate to use the dagger in the dark. Preachers, without doubt, receive less money for their services than any other professior.. The people are per fectly willing, i4 a great many cases, that the gospel shall cost them noth-, ing. M. Eiffel, builder of the tall tower in Paris is expected in Quebec short ly, to build a $5,000,000 bridge across the St. Lawrence, which would make a continuous roadway from ocean to ocean on Canadian soil. Congressman Adams, of N. Y., says that Chicago has raised not only $10,000,000, but the signatures of over 150 corgressmen who have prom ised to vote in favor of having the 1892 show in Chicago. The Centenary, after a suspension of: a number of months, is again on our table, probably more attractive than ever before. Rev. A. V. Moore is editor and proprietor, and the paper is published in Florence by 'Iessrs. Prince and Starr. It starts out with an edition of ten thousand copies. $1 a year. The largest county in the United States is Custer county, Montana, which contains 3G,000 square miles, being larger in extent than the States of Vermont, Massachusetts, Con necticut, Delaware, and Rhode Island. One-tenth of our present population could find a means of livelihood in this one county, and then it would not be so populous as Belgium. A correspondent of the n, and Courier writing about cotton shipped from Sumter, used the remark that the "mania" for covering cotton with cotton bagging had not yet reached Sumter county. Several Alliances in that county repudiate the charge, and say they use all the cotton bagging they can get. The farmers all over the State are thoroughly interested in cotton bagging. The Hon. Alexander H. H. Stuart, one of the original trustees of the Peabody educational fund, has retir ed from the board, Mr. William Wirt Henry, of Richmond, a grandson of Patrick Henry, being his successor. Mr. Stuart was the oldest member of the board, being about 83, but leaves two associates on board, viz: the Hon.. Robert C. Winthrop and the Hon. Hamilton Fish, each of whom is over' 80. Though advanccd in years, Mr. Stuart retains~his mental faculties to: a wonderful degree, and in a recent conversation with Capt. P. W.. Mc Kinney expressed .earnest desire' fort -Dearotrafic election in Vir gin , T~he'peculiar methods of a voodoo doctor practicing at Madison, Ga.," are thus discribed: When he begins his practice on a patient lhe gets a pot and fills it with water and roots and puts it oin the fire to boil. W\hile the water boils he gets out in the floor and shakes himself and says: "I'm a~ buzzard, I'm a crow, I'm an eagle, "I'm a kingfisher," then goes over a lot~oftinintelligible incantations. He then makes the patient look into the pot of boiling water until he can see the one who tricked him. The p~a tient is visited frequently at night. The pot with roots and medicines is boiledl and the patient must undergo a thor ough rubbing with the contents of the pot, while the doctor, doing the rubbing, goes over his incantations. ' Stick to Your Town. There are some people in almost ev ery town or community who persist in~ buying what they need away from home. Such persons are not helps they ought and could be to their town. The following remarks on this subject from an exchange are so apropos that we give them for the benefit of our readers: You would be surprised to see a list of people who persist in this fool ish policy. Somne of them honestly believe they are getting things cheap er. They arc ignorant. Others think things are more elegant because they comie from abroad. They arel snobs. Now look at it. You send to New York or go there to buy a set of fur niture. You do not know where togao You~ are at the mercy of a dealer who sizes you up and charges you two or-1 three pi~ces. Your town merchant goes there, he knows where to trade. He understands wvhere to get the best furniture for the least money. He buys a large lot of it and ten to one he can sell you the identical furniture Yoaprk th'an you bought it in New There is a patriotic lesson ini this. You will find that you wili save mnon ey by purchasing youir articles at home. You are sustaining a legiti mate business, building up a good store, making your town a good mar ket, aiding in loweiring the prices and increasing the quality and variety of goods; you are doing the best thing for your owvn pocket and your pros-: perity. Give your town dealer a chance; favor him with your order. If ie hasn't got what you wvant lie wvill get it. The way to get the best goods for the least money is to buy them at home. 'The way to build up your city is to trade at home. The way to serve youiself and help your neighbor is to buy at home. Don't "roast- y'our town. Just believe that wvhatever vou get in your town is better than any thing yo:! ca n get elsewhere-which is probably tilie, and you will not re Igret it.

Mrs Alexander Vaughn, wife of one of th< most prominent antd extensively knowr merchants of Prescott, Ark., writes the fol lowing letter under date of April 22, 1889: "I owe the preservation of my life undei Providenet to Swift's Specitie ( . S. S. For four years my health was wretched, ruined---my life, a life of constant pain and misery and torture. Fond soured on iy stomach, and what I ate to-day I wouhl vomit to-mom row.. My sleep at night was broken with the most horrible visions in dreams, so nmuch so. that I could not bear te be left alone: chronie diarrha, a painful cough that threatened me with consumption: my feet and ankirs were twisted out of all proportion, and my limbs swelled more or less. I could not walk except on a level floor, and then with difficulty, and for a while could not get in or out of bed without assistance. The pressure of a finger on my body would leave its impression, and in short I thought I had dropsy, in addition to my other afflictions. Two doctors treated me faithfully during these four years but did me no good. the medicines they gave me were as useless as stagnant water. 21y friends thought I would die, snifering as 1 was with such a combina tion of diseases. In 1887 I discontinued the use of the medicines I had been heretofore taking and began to take Swift's Specifie (S. S. S.) Five bottles of this truly wonderful medicine was what worked the "miracle of my complete and pecnanent recorery. Treatise on blood and skin dieseases mail ed free. SWIFT SPECIFIC CO..

This magnificent literary production rep resents a superb, unique and most remark able new book. The author whose mind is strong in imagine ion, happy in word paint ing, spriiles the glittering pages of this unparalleled work with the most chaste and beautiful gems of thought, jeweled with all that is great, good, pure, and noble, in the glowing freshness of living reality. When he writes of God and the soul, of Heaven and its ineffable bliss, he touches heights of unsurpassable magnificence that makes you feel like Moore's Peri, as if yon stood looking of the "Pearly Gates." Though he leads to mountain heights, he has also the daintiest dells of restful and tender experience, full of heart's-ease and violets, where the simplest minds andi quiet est natures may rest and drink sweet draughts from the river of God's love. Through the whole book rings the happy laughter of cheerful Christianity and moral anecdotes, thick as stars that fleek the frosty blue of winter's midnight sky, shine out on every page. These anecdotes, fresh, thrill ing and delightful. dealing as they a > with every plhase of human experience, bring out the author's ii aning most beautifully. They are carefully gathered from every his tory and langunage and scattered thro igh the book like pearls on a royal robe. In fact, the entire book is a wonder of value and interest, such as was never seen before. This magnificent volume, comprising over 700 massive octavo pages, is printed from large, clear, new type, suited to every degree of vision, on extra line stuper eaien dered paper of admirable finish. It is elab nrately-ilhustrated withi the most charming steel plate engravings, designed and engrav ed by artists of wvorld renown, at an expense of manv~thousand' dals It is substanti aly' bound in the most sumuptuous manner.

Secrets of the Order leiealed--A New. ber Teils How the Maciine is Run. Farmer McKeever told the Elber ton, Ga., ,ar how lie was initiated ii the Farmers' Alliance as follows: You see before yon, explained Mc Keever, a newlvy-iade, but only half fledged Farmers' Alliance man. Yot know that during my checkered ca. reer I have been a regular jiner, and eagerly went into every secret organ ization that came along. I have rid den the Masonic goat, climbed tbc greased pole of the Odd Fellows, been thrown down the Knjight of Honor stairsteps and fell sprawling over the fences built in my path by the Gran gers, and actually took a drink of wa ter when I joined the Good Temnplars; but these initiating programmes were as downy beds of ease compared with the trying ordeal through which I passed yesterday at the hands of the Farmers' Alliance. I had formed an idea that as soon as I joined the Alli ance the mortgage against my farm, stock, and crop would n:oulder into ashes, iule that lo:g-standing store account would disappear from the face of the books; that I would have the privilege of fixing my own prices on goods, and force the merchant to pay me twenty cents a pound for cot on. t o I made up my mind to join the Alliance, and yesterday, donning my Sunday-go-to-meeting clothes, re paired to the school house, where the order met, and sent in my application by a neighbor who was a charter member. In due season the gkJ tid ings were conveyed to ine that I had been balloted for and accepted, and boiling over with eager gratification, followed my conductor into the wood room adjoining the main building. Here my guard made our presence known by picking up a section of fence rail and rapping three times on the door. This gentle signal was an swered by three raps from within and the query: "Who comes there ?" "A horny-handed son of toil, grop ing in darkness, and anxious to have the light of the Alliance shed upon him," replied my guide. "Break down the barricade that stands between a Brother Farmer and light, and admit the applicant," spoke a sonorous voice from within. Just at this instant the old door, which had been removed from its hinges, was kicked over, and striking me on the top of the head, raised this lump you see here. I thought it was an accident at that time, and so made up my mind to grin and bear the pain. Two stout men stepped forth and violently seizing me by the arm. I was carried into the middle of the room. I saw that the house was pretty well filled with spectators.. Sitting yu the top of a cotton bale was the Grand Mogul of the order, as I afterwards learned. On his right a section of rail fence had been built and astride of this was another officer. On his left sat a third official with a pile of guauo sacks under him, which I be lieve was the Grand Secretary. I no ticed that all thme oilicers and their as sistants were in their shirt--slceves, and wor jeans pants held up by one susender each. These parties, TI af terards discovered, represented the present poverty-stricken condition of the farmers. In one corner stood six men, arrayed in their best store clothes and plug hats, and each had a feather pillow rammed into his pants to represent high living, who were to act as merchants. 1 had scarcely time to take a hasty glance around the room when a fellow stepped up and dashed about a pint of guano into my face, and before I had time to wipe my eves or~ spit out thme stuff, my sight was obscured by an old guano sack that didn't smell, by any means like te last rose of summer-being bound over my orbs of vision. I was then led three times around the roomi and halted in front of the Grand Tycoon on thme cotton bale. "Benighted brot~hcr farmer, who ath been gropinmg in darkness, the light of organi:,ed agriculturists is now about to break up)on you spake the Tvcoon. "You aire now within the 'sacred precincts of the Farmers' Alliance, and in order to in delibly fix upon your mind great truths, we will proceed to carry you through the ordeal of initiation. That handful of guano cast into yor cycs is intended to show you the folly of an undue use of this expensive com modity. A limited use of guano in the right place is proper; but you wit not, I hope, soon forget ~the lessor taught you about its abuse. Now car rvx thme benighted brothe'r tor the drand Vice-Tycoon for, further in struction." I wais then violently turned around my guards released mc, and I wa told to go stright forward at a brish trot. This I did, hut soon ran against a ten rail fence that had been secretly built in mym path, anmd in the fall wm~ skinned from head to hecls. I wae soon brought up standing amin, thie guano sack removed from over my~ ees, and I wvas carried before th< fellow sitting on the pile of sacks With a look of pityinmg contempt thii Vice-Tcoon spa1ke to me thuely iBemighted brother farmer i, seeking~ the light of truth, we admiaisterecd t( you the Fenee ])egree, in order t impress upon you mind the fant thai to be a pro.1erous farmer it is neces. sary to avod a too close intimnaci with a fence. It is the habit of tot miany. tarmers to sit astride a raLil ani watch a nigger work his crop. Vn trust that the lesson y.ou have jus learned will not be lost. The six well dressed men vou see over in that eor. nr represent thc mercantile world and we will now proceed to admiinis ter to von what is k~nowvn in the Alli ance as thec Ox, or Hlewer of Wool Degree." My guide then stepped up and ty in ai board over mym eves- like the: do lencee breakng steers- I was le into the egnter of the room. Soon hea~rd :- great setiiling aLt the doom aud the 'six iellow.s re-proda jug iii chnts forced into the room a littl spotted b ull calf, as wil as a Texn p ny. H e was brought up alonmgsi of ie, a-nd t'he pair of us yoked to~ 'eer, one of the merchants lioldin; ' ope tied in the rin1g of the volo' tmoghti I had seen pretty tough tiune t 1 soon kni w th at my past expen~ ence was bat child's play compare with the orde:d be(fore me. That lit the bull and I[ were turned loose, an< the time we made around thlat roor wnnuld shame a rae lione. I hue' I had to keep up or my neck woul be broke. It had always been a my. terr to me how a steer could turn hi yoke, but it is no longer a secret. Th bull turned his twice and I turne mine three times. I yelled for som one to heard us, but the louder I ho lered the faster the little bull trave] ed. Just as I gave myself up fo lost we were brought to a stand-stil the yoke removed from my bruise and bleeding neck, and I was agai: led before the Grand Tycoon, wh, consolingly addressed mc thusly: "enighted brother, seeking wis domo, tho lesson you have just re ceived is to im)ress upon your min< the sad truth that you are but a beas of burden for the commercial world The merchant has a yoke of servitud< upon your neck, and you - can only look for relief to a Farmers' Alliance man. We will now administer to you another degree showing the difference between cash and credit." I was again taken in hand by two merchants, who forcibly tied a strong cord around each of my thumbs, and in a twinkling I was suspended to a ridge-pole. That I yelled with pain and begged for mercy, it is needless to add. One of my torturers demand ed to know how much cash I would pay him to be released. I offered all the money in nv- pocket, which was 35 cents. He agreed to let me down for $1 cash or $10 on credit, secured by a mortgage, lien, deed of gift and waiver note of my farmin, stock, wife and chibiren. I eagerly accepted, and on being relea3 Ad stepped up to the table, and in the presence of two wit nesses signed tWe paper. I was then led before the olicer astride the worm fence, who explained the Thumb Swinging degree as follows: "Benighted brother, the ordeal which you have just passed through is administered for the purpose of re minding you that there is a broad difference between buying for cash and buying on credit. One dollar in hand would have saved you from all that misery; but for a lack of the ready cash you were forced to pay ten times the required sum. This is the last degree we will administer to you at this meeting. There are yet sev enteen other degrees required, illus trating the different trials in a farm ers' life, before you are a full-blown member of the Alliance. I will state that they are somewhat severer than the initiations through which you havc passed, but you will muster np the resolution to bear them." Well, continued McKeever, I aiy entirely satisfied with my Alliance ex perience, and I don't think there is r log chain in Oglethorpe county strong enough to draw me to another meet f mg.
