Turnip Seed, at Dinkins & Co.'s.
Coroner Rowe, as soon as he heard
of the death of Mr. T. E. Shanon,
last Friday morning, determined to
hold an inquest. Several gentlemen
of the place, who knew of his pur
pose, tried to dissuade him, but he
hired a turnout from the livery stable
and went any way. When he got to
Mr. Shannon's residence, he was told
by the attending physician, Dr. I. M.
Woods, and by the chairman of the
county commissioners, W. H. H.
Hobbs, who had been sitting up with
him for several nights, that ani inquest
was not only unnecessary but would
be insulting to the family and phy
sician. Mr. Rowe replied that he had
paid three dollars for a buggy to come
there, and he was too poor a man to
lose this money, so he would hold the
inquest. Dr. Woods protested, and
Commissioner * Hobbs told him he
would never consent to his getting
one cent of pay for such worse than
useless work. After considerable dif
ficulty he succeeded in impanelling a
jury, several parties postively refusing
to become aparty to so great afarce,
and held an inquest. The jury did
not even view the body, and the only
witness examined was Doctor Woods,
who was not present at the death of
Mr. Shannon. The nurse who was
sitting by the bedside of Mr. Shan
non when he died, was not examined.
Dr. Woods testified, as he had told
the coroner before the jury was sum
moned, that he was the attending
physician,- and had told the family
that morning that Mr. Shannon could
not possibly live much longer. The
jury failed to sign the verdict, and
consequently the inquest was in ev
ery sense of the word a farce. We
hardly think Mr. Rowe will get any
money for this inquest.
-M. Kalisky insists that the people should
not go to Sumter when he is selling s<
cheap. A boy's suit of clothes for $1.50
Men's suits from $3 up.
Messrs. Ashley and Ed Briggs have

ion Brockinion, of Kingstree, were

church last Wednesday, Oct. 23rd.
T'he five negroes, Ned Williams,
John Williams, Tom Charles, Preston
Jefferson, and Ed. Slater, charged
with an infamous assault on the Dan
iels woman, near Bishopville, some
time back, were each found guilty of
the charge of rape, but were recom
mended by the jury to the mercy of
the court. They were each sentenced
to the penitentiary for the remainder
of their lives.
3 cakes excellent laundry soap for only 5
cents cash, at M.-Levi's.
The Cotton Plant is now published
weekly and has increased to over
4,000 subscribers, a gain of 1,500
since August 1st. The Cotton Plant
is a good agricultural paper, the
State organ of the Alliance, and con
tains besides much agricultural mat
ter especially suited to this section, a
great amount of most interesting
news for farmers. It is well worth
the price, $1.25 for the weekly, by
Hoyt & Keys.
3 cakes laundry soap at M. Levi's for 5
cents. Best granulated sugar only 10 cents.
Other goods proportionately cheap, at M.
Levi's. Great bargains for the cash.
Mr. Ed. P. Briggs had the misfor
tune last Friday night about 12
o'clock to have his cotton house burn
ed in which was stored about fourteen
bales of seed cotton, and one bale of
ginned cotton. The loss is estimated
at about $1,000, the cotton alone being
worth about $800. Nothing was
saved, and there was no insurance.
Mr. Briggs thinks the fire may have
been caused by some of the hands
carelessly smoking about the building
the day before.
Highest New York prices paid for all
kinds of furs and hides (otter, fox, coon
mink) at M. Kalisky's.
Mr. H. T. Avant, proprietor
of the popular Racket Store
in - Summeron, has purchased
a building lot in that town,
and intends at an early date to erect
a handsome residence on it, and those
who for the past few months have
been reaping the benefit of the very
low prices offered by him, may feel
satisfied that these low prices are not
a thing of the present, but will be a
special feature of his establishment.
He is determined to keep the prices
of goods at the lowest rock bottom
figures, and has no fear of any one
underselling him. Just call at Mr.
Avant's store, and buy goods. The
prices are all right.
Be sure to visit Moses Levi's store, and get
his low prices, and you will do your trading
there. He sells remarkably cheap for cash.
Isaac Butler, one of the gang of
negro desperadoes who gave so much
trouble in this county a few years
ago, ventured into town last Satur
day. As soon as Sheriff Lesesne got
information that the negro was in
town he'started for him. He found
him near Rigby's store, and as soon
as Butler got sight of the Sheriff he
started to run. Sheriff Lesesne at
once offered a reward of ten dollars
to whoever would catch him. Imme
diately a crowd started in pursuit.
Policeman Clark fired his pistol at
him but missed him. Butler ran
down by the colored Methodist
hurch, and thence by Mr. Setzer's.
He was finally brought to bay about
a half mile from town. With a fence
rail he defied arrest, but Policeman
King with his pistol soon induced
him to surrender. When the Sheriff
asked him why he ran, he said, "Boss,
I thought you was a man who had
sworn to kill me on sight." A crowd
of fiftv persons followed Butler back
to town, and an old negro remarked:
"Hih ! Butler must feel big. Heap of
people follerin him, same like Garvner
Richarson had." The reward for his
capture was paid to Richmond Belser
and Henry Smith.
Manning Collegiate Institute.
A large crowd of persons were
present last Thursday, at the laying
of the corner stone of the Manning
Collegiate Institute. The three lodges
of Masons in this county participated
in the ceremony. About 11.30 o'clock
the processio'n was formed in front of
the Central HoteL. The trustees and
the Governor headed the procession;
the Knights of Pythias came next;
then the Foreston, Summerton, and
Manning Masonic lodges. There
were about a hundred persons in line.
When opposite the Presbyterian
church, the students and teachers of
the school filed over, marching beau
tifully land in perfect order, and form
ed in front of the trustees. The pro
cession thus continued to the school
building. When the procession reach
ed this point all were dismissed ex
cept the Masonic lodges.
The building, which is only partially
completed, was tastefully decorated in
front with flowers, evergreens, and
flags, and the floor of the piazza on
which the Governor, trustees, and dis
tinguished guests sat, was covered
with a carpet. Benches and chairs
were arranged in front for the ac
commodation of the ladies.
The corner stone was laid by the
Masons, Mr. W. J. Clark acting as
Grand Master. In the stone was
placed a copy of the roll of members
of each of the Masonic iodges, of the
Knights of Pythias lodge, and of the
school; a copy of each of the town
papers, and a silver dollar. On the
stone is inscribed Manning Collegiate
Institute, A. L 5889.
After the laying of the corner stone|
B. P. Barron, Esq., chairman of the
Board of Trustees, thanked the Ma
sons for their services in laying the
corner stone.
Jos. F. Rhame, Esq., then intro
duced Governor John Peter Richard
son. Mr. Rhame alluded to the se
vere illness of Ex-Gov. Manning,
and said his presence was all that was
needed to make this occasion a com
plete success.
Governor Richardson spoke for an
hour, his subject being the history of
education in this State. His speech
was full of interesting information,
showing that the people of this State
had always taken a deep interest in
the cause of education.
After the speaking the crowd re
paired to the Presbyterian church
grove, where they partook of a boun
tiful dinner.
,.The school building will when com
pleted present a beautiful and impos
ing appearance, and the people of the
town are greatly interested in its

S. A. Nettles, Esq., Manning, S. 0.
Dear Sir: Enclosed please find two
dollars for renewal of subscription to
your valuable paper. I am always
glad to receive the paper: it seems like
a visitor from home. You have la
bored hard to make it what it is, a
newsy and readable journal, and I
hope you may continue to make it at
ractive to your readers and profitable
o yourself.
Business is good at this place, andi
ork is the watch word of Wedge-i
ield. We have quite a number from
C1arendon here, and will soon be able|
o number nearly as many right around
ere as Sumter owns. I like the place:
t is one of the most moral towns I
ave ever lived at. Whiskey, one of
he great evils, is never seen here,
either do we see the effects of it,
uless some one com~es from a dis
ance, and then we only get a smell
f it; but never have we been offered
adrop, not even to try it. This is a
ive business place with the farmers,
nd I think we can boast of having as
ood ones as can be found in the
tate. The Alliance is growing in fa
or in this section. Both white and
olored have joined the fraternity, and
I hope the farmers will be benefitted,
for when the farmers prosper all oth
r professions and trades are bene
itted.
I hope the good merchants of Man
ing are wide-awake to their own and
he interest of the town, and will do'
al in their power to make Manning
n the near future one of the leading
usiness places in the State.
With good wishes for yourself and
aper, I remain -your friend,

losed please find resolutions adopted
o-day by the Jeff Davis Sub-Alliance,
o. 591, unanimously endorsing a
esolution passed by the Sumter Coun

follows:
That we earnestly call upon our
rethren in all sections of this and
all other States to join us in a united
and persistent effort to keep all All
amce cotton from the city of Charles
on for many years to come, because
harleston has given more aid and
omfort to the jute monopolists in
heir fight against the farmers than
ay city in the South. Be it
Resolved, That the Jeff Davis Sub
Alliance, No. 591, do unanimously and
arnestly adopt the above resolutions
passed by our brethren of Sumter
ounty, and let our brethren stand
irmly together, and let it be regarded
s a maxim that they who would im
pede the progress, or by inimical ma
euvres undeavor tQ hinder the sut
ess of the Alliance, is an enemy of
he farmers arnd unworthy of his con
idence and patronage.
That the secretary be ordered to

How to Make Money.
Having Lad samples of
cotton from other gins com
pared with those from ours
by competent 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. If they can show us any
fault in our work 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
than any one else, or will ex
change the meal for them.
Come and see us.
C. R. & W. S. HARVIN.
SAM JONES AT LYNCHBURG.
Some of the Georgia Evangelist's Sharp
Sayings.
The Rev. Sam Jones is drawing
immense crowds at Lynchburg, Vir
ginia.
The Lynchburg News compliments
him in high terms, and quotes him as
follows:
Sam Jones says a good many sharp,
stinging things which it is difficult to
work into a report of his sermons with
out snapping the thread of the thesis.
For example:
God never called me to preach like
other men, nor other men to preach
as I do, though some have tried it and
got badly left.
God Almighty made me just as I
am, and I have never interfered with
the job one particle.
I'll promise you one thing: to tell
the truth so it will stick to you like a
cuckleburr to an old sheep's wool.
It'll be there when you shear him.
I don't mean by an honest man one
who pays his debts. That's the
meanest sort of honesty. Any man
of sense or decency will do that if he
can.
Some church people, however, are
afraid to walk along some streets in
Lynchburg for fear of meeting a man
they owe and won't pay. They do
business as "agents" and board with
their wives in order to successfully
rob their creditors.
I'd go to the chain gang and stay
there before I'd ever write my name,
Sam P. Jones, agent," for my wife.
You, a great big officer in the
hurch and won't pay your debts, you
ld hound.
John the Baptist was the bravest
ype of christian I know of. He
umped on Herod and pawed his
feathers out.
God Almighty never bestowed a
reater blessing on any community
han in giving it a good game preach
r who doesn't fear man or devil.
A consecrated Christian has the
ight of way. He is never molested.
If anybody asks you to take a
rink, be thinks you're a hypocrite;
and if you take it, he thinks right.
I've more respect for a faro dealer
han a progressive euchre player, be
ause the faro dealer plays for money
to support his wife and children with,
while the progressive euchre player
lays for nothing but a booby prize,
for which he risks damnation.
The church member who rents his
ouse for a saloon is like the Confed
rate who fought on our side, but ran
a powder mill for the Yankees. He
id a't kill any Yankees, but supplied
he powder with which they shot
own thousands of Rebels. T~e preach
r that will house such a member is no
etter than he is.
I -vouldn't give ten cents to hear
ngersoll on "The Mistakes of Moses,"
ut I'd give ten dollars to hear Moses
on the mistakes of Ingersoll.
Read about our Grand Gift Distri
ution in another column. We have
ot half the prizes yet, we expect to
offer, but those given are a fair sam
le. The three largest prizes are, a

Probably the smallest republic in
he world is the one which declared
is independence on August 9 at
ranceville, one of the islands of the
ew Hebrides, and elected M. Chev-'
lliard its President. The inhabitants
onsist of forty Europeans, (including
solitary Englishman, a missioner,)
and'500 black workmen employed by
a French company. The new' flag of
the. republic having been duly hoist
ed, the French gunboat Saone landed
a detachment and saluted the flag.
The rumor that the Prince of Wales
is suffering from Bright's disease
seems to be confirmed. There is no
oubt that the English royal family is
plunged in gloom and that Victoria is
worried about the succession. Ac
ording to the latest reports the
Prince's physicians have informed him
that he has not more than two years'
ease of life. His trip to Egypt will
be undertaken to relieve, if possible,
is mind of its present despairing
tone. He has always had a presenti
ment that he would never be king of
England, and he is now convinced
that his forebodings were correct.
The advertising columns of the
London newspapers have recently an
nounced that nine cannibals from
Terra del Fuego would be fed three
times a day in view of the audience
at the Aquarium. The family now in
London includes a woman about 50
years old, her son, a tall and not bad
looking specimen of his race, his two
wives and their five children, ranging
in age from 1 to 16 years. The thing
about the Onas which most stimulates
scientific interest and popular curios
ity is the fact that they are regarded
by some authorities as the lowest
stratum of uncivilized humanity that
has yet been dscovered.
