THE MANNING TIMES. Pu1lid.cd Ecery Wcdnesday. Wednesday, October 30, 1889. What (he Ailiance Can Do. The present seasom it now seems will be a very prosperous one for Southern farmers. Not only has a large cotton crop been made, but the South has produced the largest crops of vegetables, fruits, hay, forage and grain that have ever before been known. This places the farmer in a very independent position. He has produced at home much that he used formerly to buy away from home. He has abandoned, to a great extent the all-cotton policy, a policy that was ruinous to the prosperity of this section. For, value as we may our manufacturing and mining interests, and that they are of the utmost im portance none can doubt, the pros perity of the South must ever rest mainly upon its farming interest. The Farmers' Alliance which exists in every Southern State, and which has aceomplished so much in its fight with the jute trust, should see to it that Southern farmers take no back ward steps, but that they continue to advance on the road of progress on which they have entered. It must insist that they shall raise corn and meat enough for their sustenance, and increase the number of articles raised or produced at home for home consumption. The yield of corn has been so prolific in the South that there never was a more opportune time for the farmers to raise their own meat. With a cotton crop of . -s ey value this year of from $350, 006000 to $400,000,000 the South will lever be in a better condition to pull itself out of the thralldom of debt and dependence. When it gets out let, it stay out. Many of our farmers scarcely know the possibili ties of the land they cultivate. Many also know' little of the pleasure and comfort that a life in the country can give. With their eyes fixed on the crops that ?Iiey can sell, they have forgotten that a little extra care and labor would produce vegetables, fruits, and other home comforts, would fill their yards with poultry, and their dairies with milk and but ter. People 'ought to get all the enjoy ment out of life that is possible. The farmer's life ought to be a happy and comfortable one. If the Farmers' Alliances of the various Southern States address themselves to the work that we have indicated they will help the farmers of. the South more than they can in any other way. There are not only trusts to be fought, but mistaken ideas and wrong notions that have been the growth of years. If the Alliances dispel these they will indeed benefit the farmer-benefit him in some cases in spite of himself.-renC1ille ( Texras) Herald. How to Bathe. Everybody washes his hands and face. Reflect for a moment upon the ex .traordinary refreshment given by the ablution, and then multiply it a thou sand fold and you have an idea of the good gained by a daily morning and a daily evening all over bath. But how to bathe. Many people find bathing a physi cal distress, a burden, a discomfort, by reason for the trouble they make out of it. There are thousands and thousands of unfortunates here who have no bathing tubs, but I doubt if there is a laborer's family so poor that a moveable tub cannot be afford ed, and water runs in all our tene ments. With the aid of a sponge the poorest equipped man may provide facilities for himself, is wife and children in this line of refreshment, but the ordinary man is where a bath tub is at his disposal. For such a vigorous plunge is the best mode and a vigorous rubbing with a heavy crash-towel immediately after. Too much stress cannot be laid up on this recreative operation. It opens the pores, it removes the dead skin, it sets in motion that marvelous sys tem, upon which health so largely de pends. It gives the whole body a tonic and freshens every faculty. I have been using for many years a sedative water suggested to me by my old friend, Dr. Otto Fullgraff, for 20 years at the head of one of the largest dispensaries, and to-day stand ing at the very head of electricism with that suggests. Take a whiskey bot te, or any other utensil of that capac ity, put in it a cup of salt, a half ounce of camphor, a half ounce of ammonia, fill the bottle with hot wva ter arnd let it stand twenty-four hours, then when prepared to bathe with a sponge put a teaspoonful of this mix ture, well shaken, in your basin to bathe yourself. You will be surprised at the dirt that will come from the cleanest shin. The ammonia will cleanse the pores, the camphor and salt will im part a beneficial effect which cannot be exaggerated. Do this night and morning, and you will find yourself not only beautiful in skin, but made strong and sturdy, healthful and, therefore, good natured. A Curious Case in Law. A curious case was recently decided by Judge Norton in Columbia. In 1883 John B. Barnes was sen tenced for two years in the peniten tiarv, He was afterwvards pardoned hy Governor Thompson on condition tfiat he leave the State, njever to re turn. He did ret urn, however, sev ral weeks ago. on being ordered to show cause why he should not be ~eaded to the penitentiary, his at torer , M. H. Moore, argued that the conditional pardon was illegal, as it amounuted to banishment, which is n0t prvie for by law. .Judge Nor to decided against him and ordered he priso~uer to he remnanded. Au appall will be made to the Supreme court. "What is a fool killer, father ?" "A fool killer, my boy is a little thing called a cigarette." Why don't some one prosecute Capt. Walters, of Orangebuirg, for challeng ing Mr. Cunningham? Here is a cap ital chance to make an example of a wilful law-breaker, and also test the uli pulse.- - Genle 7w*-s The Lime-Kiln Club As the meeting opened in due form, Brother Gardner called for the report of the chairman of the committee on medical science, and that individual reported as follows on further tests of the Brown-Sequard elixir of life: 6. The sixth test was made on Judge Uncomfortable Jackson, and of his own Lee will. This brother was not named until he was 15 years old, and the name is a very appropriate one. He was never comfortable a moment in his life, and his demeanor gave outstanders the idea that he had pick ed up a carpet tack as he sat down. Four ounces of elixir taken from a squint-eyed lamb was injected into his right arm, and he was sent out to walk around for half an hour. When he returned all the wrinkles had dis I appeared from his brow, he had a grin of contentment on his face, and he wanted to sit down on two chairs and stay there all day. The judge has only had one dose, but there seems to be no danger of a return to his old ways. His wife says he is so meek and lazy that she is at a loss how to handle him, and that he can't be got out of bed in the morning without throwing cold water on him. 7. Prof. Sundown Smith was one of the first to apply for the elixir, but the committee held off on him, owing to his physique. He is nearly seven feet tall and weighs only ninety-two pounds, and they were afraid he hadn't the constitution to stand it. He made a formal demand, however, and was given a six qunce dose of the elixir in the left leg. He went away to buy a{ washboard to send home, and since that time has not been seen by any of his friends. It is supposed that the liquid, which was taken from a moth erless lamb, produced melancholy in the feelings of the professor and drove him to suicide. Search and inquiry have been made in every direction, ! but he cannot be found. 8. The eighth victim was Rear Ad-' miral Sarsaparilla Tompkins, one of the oldest members in years, the club has on its rolls. He is 72 years old,' walks with two canes, and only at tends the meetings monthly, and then comes down 'in a one-horse wagon. Of late years the only part he has taken in the proceedings has been to move that any matter advanced by Shindig Watkins be laid on the tab'e. It was thought safe to experiment a little on the old man, as his death' would be no great loss anyhow, and the liquid was taken from a Berkshire hog weighing about 250 pounds. The old man was on hand and very anxious and he was given ten ounces and loaded into his wagon. He drove off slowly and without excitement, but when only two squares away he licked the old horse into a run and began shouting at the top of his voice. Noth ing could be done with him at home. He thrashed his wife and children, cleaned out a grocery, and threw a policeman over a fence. He declared himself the boss of the town, and to show his strength and agility he jumped eleven feet and lifted a bar-! rel of pork. He went to bed feelingI like a man of 20, but the illusion was only temporary. Some time after midnight the old man got up, went out to the woodshed and there hung himself by the neck with a dog chain. TOO UScER.TAIN TO FOOL 'wITH. "I was at fust led to believe dat de elixir would fill a long-felt want," said Brother Gardner as the report closed, "but I hev now made up my mind dat is too unsartin to fool wid. While dere kin be no sorter queshun dat it has greatly benefitted some of our! members, it has acted jist de contra-! r wid odders. It seems dat we can't! depend on how it will act;, thus mak in' all expeimnents dangerous, an' I' darfore reckon we'd best let de hull! thing drap. In co'se it would be! werry nice if we could part wid dese wrinkles an' bent backs, an' hey youth return again. but I doan' believe dey's' hit de right thing yet. De committee will be discharged an' de experiments discontinued." A N~ BRAxcH. A communication was received from Judge Carryall Parker, Secretary, stating that a branch Lime-Kiln Club had just been organized at Pittsburg, on the south side of the river, and that its name would be the South Side Lime-Kiln Club. The officers are: Col Kyban Long, President; Greentree Smith, Treasurer; Old Man Jones, Keeper of the.Bear Trap; Lay. 'back Taylor, Outer Guard; Prof. Blunt, Visiting Delegate and General1 Grand Bouncer. It was stated that the branch started business with $7 in cash, a second! hand stave, four mottoes, a stuffed 'possum, and a dozen umbrellas. They have taken great spirit, and will no doubt push forward to success. The above communication also con tained an inquiry as to the best time~ to cut a bee tree, and Brother Gardner replied: "Dar' am seberal occashuns when Ibee trees should be cut, an' seberal odder occashuns when dey should be left alone. If you want honey mighty bad, you kin jump at de tree mos' any time in August, but if you pist wvant honey to sorter tone up de stomach de bes' way is to wait till soine time in October. I hey cut down bee trees when de bees war' at hum, an' when dey was gone away, an' I am free to say dat I injoyed myself much de mos' id latter case. De secretary will answer to de effeck dat de wisest way is to gin some odder chap half de honey fur gaterin' de crap." PENSTOCK BOBBED UP. The secretary announced the fol lowing dated at Austin, Tex.: Jhrther~ Gar'dner-Sir: Several years ago I applied for membership in your valuable order, and would have been elected, but your ruling caused me to' be rejected. I now address you upon a difterent subject. I desire to purchase the fall wool clip of the Lime-Kiln Club, and would like to have your personal shear ing in a separate package. Please bring this matter before the club at your nxt meeting. Yours in trade, TOxnKwAY Bon. The reading had been scarcely con cluded when Elder Penstock sprang to his feet with fire in his eyes and shouted: "I move that de secretary be fined $10 for readin' sich an insultin com municationi to dis club." "Brudder Penstock," calmly replied the President, "we is a public body. 'We can't expect to please ebery one." "'Well, it has allus been called wool, an' I reckon dat hits purty clus. If we called it ha'r it would still kink up. Callin it wool doan' hurt us." "But what about the insult:'" per sisted Penstock. "Nuffin. Life is too short to go round wid a chip on your shoulder, or to be huntin' arter insults. We'll jist lay de letter on de stove." "But I appeal !" "Penstock, sot down!" shouted the President, as he brought his gavel down with a bang. "If you feel dat you has been insulted, go down to Texas an' demand an apology, but doan' seek to raise a row in dis lodge. We doan' feel dat we has been hurt any, an' we doan' propose to lose any wind. De meetin' will now adjourn for one week." Who Can Re-Marry. The Revised Statutes of South Car olina allow re-marriage for six causes, viz: 1. Absence beyond the seas for sev en years. 2. Absence anywhere for seven years, when one does not know the other to be living. 3. Imprisonment for life. 4. Marriage under the age of con sent. 5. Divorce (for any cause) under the jurisdiction of a conipetent tri bunal. 6. Where the first marriage is de clared void by the sentence of a corn petert : uirt. HE SHOWED HIS GOOD SENSE. Our traveling men as a rule are men of ively disposition. They make a good im pression on the public by their engaging manners, but when the true gentleman with kind and sympathetic, impulses and that feeling of tenderness, known only to men of the highest order is to be shown, the "drummer" is not behind his fellows. Capt. C. F. Hoke, one of the most widely known traveling men in the South writes: "I got from you a bottle of Dr. Westmore land's Calisaya Tonic for my little daugh ter, who had been prostrated with fever and was very weak and had no appetite. She had not used more than half the bottle before she had an excellent appetite and re gained her strength with astonishing rapid ity. I believe it to be an excellent tonic." This great tonic is sold by Dr. L. W. Net tles, Foreston, S. C.; J. G. Dinkins & Co., )anning, 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 t wenty. 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 la&ve to do to conv'ince yourself of -this fact is to comle and see, and vou will be covin9. that our stock by far is supserior to anything in thisteetioni of tbg Stat; We keep no goods but what we buy from first bands, and all such we can recommend. Besides this we hav e abolished the old1 mode of transacting buin~less In former years, we owing to the fact that we like all Amercans like to kep up with the fashion and the ways of all 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 otlice, lie had ledgers pdiedl high, that represented thousands of dollars. :3-8 claims out ot dlate. barred by thme Statute of limitation, 3-8 barred by the right of the landlord. and 2-8S barred by tne drought and expirationi of wind im the lungs of old ijones and blinid mules. All these amounts kept runiing on: each year they were footed up 's sses-a bg bbbl mdetiledwith air. and like the byssoap b)ubble soon burst, ten ant gonme, account worthikess. Hec had run the tenant in the spirmg and summer, when naught 'was in sight: the landlord took him up when the cotton camne mn. lie awoke, and swore that he wudnever folwsc uiesagain; t htb ih as the prospects might be, that armed with all the wisdom and energy lie could commnand. andi closiing his ear to the suffering of the past, He would forever quit the old mode, and change his business to something tangible. So this year we have done so--we w ill sell yon all the goods voni want for credit or cash at lower pie'ces than y-ou ever b~ought at beftore: but let's have somie idea when you are going to pay. We~ don't wan~t anyr more imillenmniumn accounmts or notes. We may not be present to collect them and the banks don't want any paper'i over four months. anmd we sincerely trust we will get the coplf) 88 out before it comles, for we have onie of the larg srp this year that we have vr~ had. No introduction is needed. no apology is llred for 1889. It comes freighted with the wisdom of centuieis and each corn'f erib is loaded with the riehest treasure that God ever gave man. Bread no object and Bacon at the price we are selling, no ome can complainl. And all should feel go.this yer et us get out of debt; let all of us comence anew. and the prices we are selling any and all lines of goods at to-day, willecon vince all that conme that some miraculous chmang~e has taken place.
