The new planing mills of Lukens
and Reifsnyder, in Sumter, contain
the very best machinery. Large
pieces of lumber are planed on four
sides at once, and the planing is as
nice as hand work. They have an
immense steam dry kiln, and every
thing is the very best of its kind. The
plant occupies about thirteen acres.
We enjoyed a stroll through the mills
last Thursday, under the guidance of
Mr. Reifsnyder, one of the most agree
able gentlemen we ever met. Capt.
J. A. McLure is business manager for
the concern.
It is astonishing to see the cotton
shipped this season from Clarendon
to Messrs. Seckendorf & Middleton,
of Charleston. These gentlemen be
gun only this year to exert a special
effort to procure the trade of this
county. Those who dealt with them
heretofore have paid them up so well,
that they -concluded to extend their
business in this part of the State,
somewhat; and from the reports of
those who have made cotton ship
ments to them this season, we feel
satisfied that many of the.largest cot.
ton shippers of our county will pat
ronize Messrs. Seckendorf & Middle
ton another year.

The Cultivation of Hemp.
EDroRi MANNING TIM~s :-I send you
herewith a specimen of genuine Ken
tucky Hemp. It was given me a few
days ago, with the enclosed account
of its production, by a young lady of
exquisite grace and culture whose
family resides in Charleston, but who
are soon to become residents of our
town.
Can you not induce practical farm
ers to give hemp-growing an experi
mental trial? HRA3.
Manning, Oct. 8th.
Hemp is cultivated largely in Ken
tucky; the seed is put in the ground<
between the 15th of April and the 1st
of May. and is sown broade ast. Af
ter planting there is nothing more
doet tfor about six months as the
~growth is thick and dense; in the fall,
September or October, it is cut and
laid on the ground for from four to
eight days, then it is taken up and
stacked in the-field where it grew. As
soon as winter sets in, and the rain
and snow comes, it is again laid upon
the ground; this is to allow the inner
or vegetable part of the stalk to rot
imorder- to get at the fiber, which is
on the outside, more easily; and the
more rain and snow or damp that gets
upon it the better. When this is ac
copihdit is again taken up and
broken by hand on a hemp break: this
is a little instrument or machine
which can be obtained for a few dol
lars, and this breaking is done in the
field wvhere the hemu is grown: it is
then put upon wagons and sold in
this raw state. The cultivation of
Hemp is of great interest to Ken
tucky farmers, for not only is it an in
teesin 1)o, but it is one which
pays better than any otlher except to.
bacco. It grows from four to eight
fet high, and to a person unaccus- I
tomed to it looks like some rank
weed; the leaf is delicate and pointed,
and it has a sinall bloom which grows
in bunehes and from which comes the
seed. The ground which produces
hemp must be very rich. In Ken
tcky~ fertilizers are never used: when
g'round becomes poor from constant;
use, it is simply allowed to rest for a
year or twvo, and at the end of that
time the strength and richness which
it had at first returns to it. X.

Editor Manning Times, Manning, S. C.
We are pleased to state that we now have in store and are daily receiving one of 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 wo
could want. We have on hand one of the finest lines of Cooks ever brought to any market.
have in this line of Cooks all numbers and sizes. Small enough for the young man just
ried, and large enough for a family of twenty. We have taken great pains this year in.the
lection of our stock of
Fancy and Staple Groceries,
nd all we can say is that we w~ant all the good accounts in town and in the country. We
ad will sell you all the goods y ou wxant cheaper than you can buy them, and all you will ha
o 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 Fro rom r
b ands, and all such we can recommend.
Besides this we have abolished the old mode of transacting business. In former years~
wing to the fact that we like all Americans like to keep up with the fashion and the ways of
around us, have sold goods too high in order to make a good showing of assets.
But the writer had a dream.*He was in his office, he had ledgers piled high, that represen
housands of dollars. 3-S claims out of date, barred by the Statute of limitation, 3-8 barred
the right of the landlord, and 2-S barred by the drought and expiration of wind in the lunge
old ponies and blind mules. All these amounts kept running on; each year they were- f
p as assets-a big bubble madec, filled with air, and like the boy's soap bubble soon burst,
ntgone, account worthless. He had run the tenant in the spring and summer, when
uas in sight; the landlord took him up when the cotton camne in. He awoke, and swore that
ould never follow such business again; that bright as the prospects might be, that armed
ll the wisdom and energy lie cduld conunand, and closing his ear to the suffering of the past,
e would forever quit the old nmode, and cha4ng
his business to something tangible.
So this year we have done so--we will sell you all the goods you want for credit or cash
lower prieces than you ever bought at before; but let s hav e some idea when vou are going to
W don't want any more millennium accounts or notes. We may not be present to collect.
nd the banks don't want any papier over four months, and we sincerely trust we will get
crop of 1889'out before it comes, for we have one of the largest crops this year that we ha
vr had. No introduction is needed, no apology is offered for 1889.
It comes freighted with the wisdom of centuries anid each corn crib is loaded with the. rich
treasure that God ever gave man. Bread no object and Bacon at the price we are selling
one can complain. And all should feel good this year. Let us get out of debt; let all of
ommence anew, and the prices wve are selling any and all lines of goods at to-day, will
vine all that come that sonic miraculous change has taken place. Wvell it has.
We Want to Live, and Want You to Live!
and we therefore shl try and please all in prnices andl goods, and we want to build up in
iin what Clarendon County needs, a first class store w~here you can get what you want anda
in need of at a living pri~ce. and in order to convince you of this we must ask you to come a
see. Yes, crops are magnificent this year: cotton brinrgmng better prices than for yeas:
us get oiut of debt, and work on a cash basis. I a.m prIeparedl to offer for the cash the grea
dicem'nts that ainehiant cani offer. Come to see me. Yours respectfully,
