Thames and Miss Inez Clark were married last Sutdav night, Oct. 6th, in the Presbyterian church, by Rev. Jas. McDowell. Mr. Thames is one of the most popular and handsome young men in town, and Miss Inez, beautiful and accomn plished, has alwvays been a general favorite. After a sermon by Mr. Mc Dow~ell, they received the congratula tions of many friends. They yester day began housekeeping in Mr. Thames's residencee, opposite Mr. J. T. Stakes's. Turmaedit~ianms &Co.'s. A cutting affray occurred last Sat urday betwveen Jesse Hurst. white, and Henry Smith, colored, in which Smith was cut in three places: once in his body underneath his arm, and twvic in tie arma near the shoulder. None of the cuts was of a serious nature, and he is at his work again. A doctor sewed up one of them. Smith cane to us after the afiair wa over, and nmade the following state meent: He went into Woikoviskie's barroom, and in the back room he found a white man and a negro who wanted to play a game of cards for drinks, but had no cards, and asked him to get a pack~ for them. He got a pack from the front part of the bar room, but that before he gave them to the party wanting them, Mr. Hurst told hinii not to use the cards as they belonged to Sanm Clark Smith an swered rather impertinently, and Hurst juped upl and~ came?( for himi, striking him with his fist and cutting him with his knife.

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. MANNING'S BOOM. Moses Levi Determined That the People Shall not. Complain of High Prices Goods Sold Actually Below Cost-Com petition Defied.

Having had samples of cotton from other gins comn pared with those from ours hy comnpetent judges, we can now assure our patrons at least 1-4 cent per pound more for their cotton than any other gin in the State. We would like those who will not patronize us to come, around and see how much better their neighbors get' their cotton ginned than they do. Tf they can show us any fault in our wor-k we will be glad to know it. It will be to the interest of any one to see us before ginning else where, as we are offering special inducements for this and next month; also will pay more for cotton seed Iuan any one else, or will ex change the nieal for them. Come and see us. 3Mr. JUrunisoni Davis's Rely in the Plowv dens 3Mill Bridge 31at .er. Mj. Emoivo:-I see that my aged fried Tindal has again appeared in print. I cannot imagine wvhat promp~ts my friend to assume the role of cor respondent, unless it be for the pur ps~e of injuring me or the county commissioners; or, perhaps; he may be adopting this method of bringing himself forward as a candidate for the position of county commissioner. In either event I am free to say he has made a fatal mistake. Mr. Ed itor, is it v-ery remarkable how many men vou can find that arc so willing to d, a job so cheaply, after some one else has done it ? In this instance my friend raises a howl about the- comn missioners paying me forty dollars for a job that so many would have been glad to have done for less money, and vet you hear not one word said until 'the job is finished. The county comn misioners cannot wait to hear from these rironic grumblers when the roads become impassable. No answer is needed to the very strange lan guage of my aged friend, as he has already answered it by saying "that le deies saying that he made 825 on the job but lie doesn't say he did not make 825."

To Foreston News, Fors'rox, Oct. 8. -We had a heavy rain with a severe blow on Sunday evening, but it is now clear and cool, with light frost this morning. Cotton is coming in slowly. It is thought the crop is light in this see tion. Plenty of cheap goods, and trade brisk so far. Everybody sells at Alli ance prices. Mr. n . R. Hudgins is prospecting on the Eutawville Railroad for saw mill location, and proposes leaving us as soon as such can be found. The Forcston Academy is now in full blast with Prof. W. B.

The Methodist quarterly conference will be held with the church here next Saturday and Sunday. Since I wrote you' last Maj. Land and Dr. Nettles each had the mis fortune to lose a horse.

I am very truly yours, D. W. Bra.sronn. Capt. Brailsford, as we published last week, did not, ftt the Panola in spection, present each member of both companies with white gloves, but presented each member of hi.< compa ny with gloves.

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.

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.
