THE MANNING TIMES.

S. A. NETTLES, Editor.
WEDNESDAY, October 16, 1889.
A philosopher asserts that the reason
why ladies' teeth decay sooner than
gentlemen's is because of the friction
of the tongue and the sweetness of'
the lips.
It was a pretty mean man, who,
when asked to umpire a base ball
game between two colored nines, im
mediately called the game on account
of darkness.
A bar of iron worth $5 becomes
when made into horseshoes, worth
$10, into needles, $3,325, pen-knives,
$35, and into watch springs, $240,
000, or more than its weight in gold.
And now Shakespeare is credited
with having originated the slang'ex
pression "Toe thin." The divine Wil
liam was a monopolist in the matter
of saying everything that was worth
saying.
Cotton bagging will soon be plenti
ful and the farmers should use it
whenever it can be had. The war
against the jute trust is a righteous
one and every farmer is interested in
the result.
"A wealthy man ruined by new
wheat," read Mrs. Talkene. "This is
sad," she commented, "but thousands
of wealthy men are ruined by old rye
and the papers don't say anything
about it."
The Sinking Fund Commission of
South Carolina has authorized the At
torney Generol to bring five or six
suits against delinquent taxpayers, un
der the present law. These will be
made test cases.
There is a burden of care in get
ting riches; fear in keeping them;
temptation in using them; guilt in
abusing them; sorrow in losing
them; and a burden of account at
last to be given concerning them.
In China the inhabitants are count
ed every year in a curious manner.
The oldest master of every ten houses
has to count the families, and has to
make a list, which is sent to the im
perial tax house. Last year the whole
number amounted to 876,383,500 in
habitants.
Over fifty thousand farmers have
forsaken Kansas within the last year.
Mortgages over their homes have
driven them ofE The interest charged
was greater than the profits made on
their farms and they have given up
and gone off to make new starts in
other States.
The New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ledger says: "Though
Ex-President Cleveland declined the
chairmanship of the World's Fair
committee on permanent organization
it is a very general sentiment in this
city that he should be made the pres
ident of the Exposition when Con
gress shall have granted the requisite
charter. He could scarcely decline
hat honor."
The simple statement that of the
thousand convicts in the Pennsylva
nia penitentiary only nineteen are
mechanics, is wonderfully suggestive.
It is a warning to young men of the
dangers of idleness. It is withal a
powerful plea in behalf of industrial
education. The busy man makes the
best citizen, and one of the best diodes
of preventing crime and clearing pris
ons is to enforce the law vigorously
against vagrants.
Mr. W. B. Rl Gasque has gathered
the corn from his prize acre and had
it measured carefully by disinterested
gentlemen. The yield was eighty-five
bushels and four pounds, measured
by weight. This many not be a large
enough yield to win the prize, but it
is a money making crop nevertheless.
Mr. Gasque puts the cpst of making
the crop at about forty dollars and for
this he has eighty-five bushels of corn
besides the fodder, peas, and so forth
that were made on the same land.
Marion Inde.
Capt. S. B. Alexander, president of
the North Carolina Farmers' Alliance,
announces that the Jute Trust has of
fered the Alliance that if they will go
back to the use of jute bagging it
will be sold at 8 1-2 cents on time,
and that the Jute Trust will pay the
farmer $2 more per ton for all their
cotton seed than is offered at any of
the cotton seed oil mills. The Char
lotte Chronicle regards this as proof
positive that the jute gentlemen are
in badl straits, and thinks "it ought to
be sufficient to encourage the farmers
in their decision to stick to cotton
bagging."
No member of a sub-alliance has
the right to disobey the will of the
majority, and whenever he does, he
ought to be expelled at once; and ao
sub-alliance has the right to go con
trary to the decision of the County
Alliance, and no County' contrary to
the State, nor any State to the Nation
al. We must all stand together. That
is intelligent and right, as any sensi
ble man is obliged to admit who will
stop and consider our condition and
remember that the only means open
to us by which we can remedy the
evils now surrounding us, is through
organization. The unit rule is absolute
in the Alliance, and without it we can
accomplish nothing whatever.-Ben
Terrell.
The Government of Ecuador has
prohibitedl Chinese immigration to
that Pepublic. The Chinese are also'
excluded from British Colum ibia b
Act of the Doinin Parliament. They
have been going to Mexico, to Central
and South America, to Cuba and oth
ers of the West Indian islands, "but
wherever they go," as the New York!
Xun says, "in aniy part of the Amer
icas. from Chili to British Columbia,
they find that they are unwelcome,
and that there is a popular demtand
for their exclusion. Under the cir
cumstances," continues the Sun, "it is
surprising that they~ do not turn their
mind toward Eastern Africa, where
the whole of the surplus population,
of China can find plenty of room.
But why should there be any objec
tion) to the Chinese ? Is not a yellow'
skn a gnod as a black skin ?
THE ARIZONA KICKER.
An Editor's Experience Wimh Human
Nature.
We extract the following from the
last issue of the Arizona Kicker:
WE ARE LErr.-For the past four
weeks our friends have been eagerly
pressing us to take the nomination for
Mayor on the people's ticket. We do
not crave office, and are a very busy
man, but the pressure became so great
we had to give in.
Last Thursday evening the city
caucus was held, and instead of being
nominated for Mayor we received only
three votes out of upwards of sixty
ast. Our friends were mistaken
when they insisted that we were want
d. Instead of being the unanimous
hoice of the patriotic people, we bad
,he pleasure of seeing Jerry Baxter,
he meanest man in town, given the
nomination.
Oh, well, that's human nature right
bhrough, and an editor fool enough to
;o into politics deserves to be driven
ead first into the tan-bark as we were.
We have a word to say, however. The
Fieker will not only bolt every candi
late on the ticket, but we guarantee
:o have nine-tenths of the nominees in
:rison before they are a month older.
Veni cum granis! which is Latin for
saying: Don't monkey with a newspa
aer man.
A B.sE F.arsEiooD.-We have ascer
;ained that it was Col. Kehoe who
started the story that we had the pro
Drietor of the Red StarSaloon lynched
by a mob last week in order to avoid
paying him a liquor bill of $18. We
ncountered the Col. in Davis's livery
barn yesterday, grabbed him by the
hroat and backed him against the
heels of a stage mule, and between us
md the mule the Col. received a drub
bing which will last him a lifetime. He
icknowledged that he was a liar, slan.
:erer and thief, and that his course
owards us was actuated by personal
spite. At that very moment he had
)n our second best undershirt, our
Sunday necktie, and the pantaloons
that we never wear except on holidays,
d was in debt to us for many other
favors.
As to the lynching, we suggested it
because Tim O'Neil, the victim, had
fallen into the habit of killing a man
about seven times a week, and there
was every reason to believe that the
coroner was standing in with him on
the fees. We should have suggested
stretching the coroner's neck a little
at the same time, but as he brought
s a club of thirteen subscribers we
didn't think it would look exactly
right.
HAVE GOT A FEw.-A correspondent
inquires if the Kicker has any libel
suits on hand, as the result of its in
dependent and outspoken course.
Well, yes, it has a few-about four
dozen we believe, but we are not wor
rying any. They have all been insti
tuted by second class ducks, who
haven't any character to be damaged,
and the whole batch will probably be
thrown out of court in a lump some
day. In the beginning of our career
a libel suit used to give us the colic for
three days and nights, and we'd wake
up from a troubled sleep to find our
eheeks wet with tears, but we soon got
sun burned. Indeed, we rather prefer
to see them come. It looks like busi
ness.
Ever since we took possession of
our office on Sioux avenue certain
people have taken' malicious delight
in heaving rocks at our- doors and
through the windows at midnight.
We put up with it the first six months
because we were afraid, and the next
six because we liked to see people
enjoy themselves. Then we warned
the publie dt:up er .somebody
wou!ei aurt! Ease *ednesday
night a rock weighing three pounds
came through a window and barely
missed our head as we lay sleeping on
our cot. Aswe got tothedoor with
a shot gun some one could be seenj
making off over the commons towards
Elkins's saloon. We drew on hinI
and pulled the trigger, and something
uttered a yell.I
Yesterday the body of Prof. Jen -
kins was found in the sage brush
about two miles from town, and it:
was plain that he died of a dose of
buck shot in the back. Just as likely
as not he was the chap we fired at in
the darkness. We didn't owe him
any particular grudge, and we didn't
know that he did us, and we are will
ing to foot half the burial expenses at
a venture.
A BAsE CowAutD.-The item in the
Chicago press of recent date that we
had been fatally wounded by a judge
for publishing a slander was not ex
actly correct. In the first place, the
individual was a cow boy named
Rose. In the next place the article
was true, and in the third place, after
he had fired five shots at us without
touching a hair, we knocked him silly
with a squash which we picked up in
front of Snyder's grocery. Then we
stood on him for about half an hour,
and when he went out of town, our
brindled dog was chasing him at a
speed of twenty miles an hour.
Cancer of the Nose.
"My father had cancer and may husband
died of cancer. In 1875 a lump appeared
on my nose, and from its appearance and:
rapid growth. I became alarmed with the,
idea that 1, too, had cancer. I consulted
my physician about it, and he gave me an
ointment to put on it, when this did not re-;
lieve me, he then burnt it out, but the ph~ee
would not heal. It gradually grew longer
and worse, and Ilhad fully made my mind
up that I must also die of cancer. Friends
prevailed on me to try Swift's Specific;
(S. S. S.) This I finally consented to do.
After taking a few bottles I was entirely
cured. Swift's Specific (S. S. S.) cured me
when the doctors and all other medicines
aied." Mns. M. 'r. M1ADE,
Woodbury, Ihail County, Texas.
Four Years on Crutches.
For fifteen years I was afflicted with rheu
matism,. four years of which I was compell
ed to go on cerutches. Words are inade
quate to express the suffering I endured'
during that time. During these fifteen
years of' existence (it was not living), I
tried every known remedy without receiv
ing any benefit. I finally began on Swift's
Specific (S. S. S.), which from the first gave
e relief, and to-day I am enjoying the best
of health, and am a well nma. I eandidly.
believe that S. S. S. is the best blood puri
fier on the market to-day.

A Town With Nine Artesian Wells.
[Blackville (.. C) o-. Chureston Worid.]
Our town has now nine artesian
wells, all giving a good flow of the
purest water. Messrs. Andrew Byrd
and W. Kratzer have formed a part
nership for the purpose of boring
these wells, and have purchased a fine
outfit of appliances for the work. Be
side the advantage of a supply of
pure drinking water, all the ditches
and drains in town are kept clean by
the outflow from these wells. The in
fluence on the public health is, of
course, vey noticeable.

A WOMAN'S DISCOVERIY.
"Another wonderful discovery has been
made and that too by a lady in this county.
D:sease fastened its clutches upon her and
or seven years she withstood its severest
ests, but her vital organs were undermin
ad and death seemed imminent. For three I
months she coughed incessantly and could
20t sleep. She bought of us a bottle of Dr.
King's New Discovery for Consumption

W. D. Suit, Druggist, Bippus, Ind., tes

has given relief in every case. One man
;ook six bottles, and was cured of rheuma
:ism of 10 years' standing." Abraham
are, Druggist, Bellville, Ohio, affirms:
"The best selling medicine I have ever
handled in my 20 years' experience, is Elec

is unanimous that Electric Bitters do cure

S. A. NETTLES,
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 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 von all the goods you want cheaper than you can buy them, and all you will have
to do to convince yourself of this facet is to come andl see. and vou will be convinced that our
stock by fatr is supserior to anything in this section of the State.
We keep no goobuvhMwavroiis
hands, and all such we can recommend.
Besides this we have abolished the old mode of tr ansacting buisiness In former years, we
owing to the fact that we like all A meicans like to keep up with the fashion and the ways of all
around us, have sold goods too high in order to make a g'od showing of assets.
But the writer had a dIream. He was in his ofiee, he had ledgers p~iled high, that represented
thousands of dollars. 3-8 (laimis out of date, barred by the Statute of limitation, :3-8 barred hy
the right of the landlord. anid 2-8 barred by the drought anid expiration of wind in the lungs of
old nonies and blind mules. All these aniionnts kept running on: each year they were footed
up as assets-a big bubble made, tilled withu air. and like the boy's soap) bubble soon burst, ten
ant gone, account worthless. Ile had run the tenant in thme spring and summer, when naught
was in sight: the landlord took him up when the cotton camne in. 1[e awoke, and swore that he
would never follow such business again; that bright as the pr1ospects might be, that armed with
all the wisdom and energy he could connniianid. and closing his ear to the suffering of the past,
Hie would forever quit the old miode, and change
his business to something tangible..
So this year we have done so-we will sell youi all the goods you want for credit or cash at
lower prices than you ever boughlt 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 har~mone of the cags rops this year that we have
ever had. No introduction is needed, no apologyv is ofered for 188S0.
It comes freighted with the wisdomi of centuries and each corn crib is loaded with the richest
treasure that God ever gave man. Br~iead no object and~ Bacon at dhe price we are selling, no
one can complain. And all should feel good this year. Let us get out of debt; let all of us
commence anew.,n hepie we are sligany andl all lines of goods at to-day. willecon
vince all that come that some miraculous chainge has taken place. Well it has.
We Want to L ive, and Want You to L ive!
and we therefore shall try and pilease all ini prices anid goods, and we want to build up in Man
ning what Cla rendon Com'mty needs, a first class storwe where yon canu get what you want andare
in need1 of at a livinug price, and in order to convince youe of this we must ask you to come and
