sity in every household in the county and nothing but hard, persistent, =. ceasing, conscientious labor will ac complish this. We are publishing i newspaper, and our effort is to pub lish a reliable newspaper. We pub lish the news as we find it, unvar nished, but with malice towards n one. And we publish all the new. we can get hold of. Again we reiter. ate our thanks and appreciation foi kind words and substantial subscrip tions, and pledge ourself to make the T1ns a paper of which the county may justly feel proud. The Georgetown Enquirer, Walter Eazard, editor, has been consolidated into the Georgetown Times, Josial Doar, editor. Mr. Hazard is an able and fluent writer, and published one of the best newspapers in the State, but George own county was not able to support ,wo papers, so one went down. In ,is valedictory Mr. Hazard truthfully says, "It is impossible for any man to lo full justice to two professions at ,he same time. Journalism, no less than law, is a jealous mistress." Mr. Doar has lately greatly improv 3d his paper, and it now ranks high it shows work and effort on his part ,o publish a readable paper. He is speaking of publishing a semi-weekly, if he gets sufficient encouragement. We don't think Georgetown is yet ready for a semi-weekly. Until a ,own supports a weekly in handsome style, it is best not to attempt anything Ise. A learned educator once said, 'A good school is better than a poor llege." So a good weekly is de -idedly better than a poor semi-week y. But Mr. Doar has a beautiful and ertile field before him, and will no loubt reap a rich harvest. We wish :he Times all succsss. Several States held elections yester lay, and the indications are that the Democrats have made substantial rains. It was feared Virginia would lect Mahone governor, but the Dem crats are considerably ahead. The atest dispatches, 2 o'clock this morn ng, give New York, New Jersey, and Virginia to the Democrats, and Ohio o the Republicans. Mahone was ar -ested for shooting a young man last iight. The young man was among a arty of Democrats who had gone in ront of Mahone's residence to cele )rate the Democratic victory. We have the promise from an able writer, to furnish us very shortly a zibute to Gov.' Manning. This will ecount for nothing from our pen hils week. The tribute will be from mn old friend and admirer of Gov. Kanning. Ex-Gov. John L. Manning. Thursday -afternoon, immediately sfter the Ed Scott murder case was gvn 'uyv-bhe-Judge gave a rece Ta half hour, for a public meeting of the citizensof the county to express their sympathy and loss on the death of Ex-Governor Man ning. Rev. H. M. Mood was elected president; John S. Wilson, Esq., sec retary; and Messrs. J. F. Rhame and B. P. Barron, vice presidents. Gen. E. W. Moise, of Sumter, then read the following resolutions: WEERA;, it has pleased Almighty God to remove from our midst our late honored ellowcitizen, John Lawrence Manning, md, whereas, it behooves his fellow-citizens o express those sentiments which natural ty move their hearts at so severe an afihc non, therefore be it Resolved, That the people of South Caro lina have lost an able, a pure and truly con Iciention2s representative citizen. Resolved, That the name of John L. Man ingtill be respected, revered, and honored by all good men as long as virtue is held in high esteem and honored in South Carolina. Resolved, That no words can express the sense of personal loss which those must feel who have enjoyed the high privilege of knowing the late John L. Manning as a riend, or even acquaintance. Resolved, That in every relation of life, rom that of Chief Magistrate of the State, b that private station which is known as the post of honor, the late John L. Manning has illustrated the worth of manhood and the dignity of high purposes. Resolved, That the people of this State will cherish the memory of one whose suav ity of manners and elevation of character are worthy examples for youth to follow and old age to revere. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be snt to the family of the deceased, not to sssuage their sorrow, but to ask the privi lege of sharing their grief, as a favor, which should not be denied to any who have known sud loved him. Gen. Moise in a short speech paid a high and beautiful tribute toer~o'. Manning's worth. He poke of his high noble character, his generous vitues, and his great love for his State. The resolutions were seconded in short speeches by Messrs. M. C. Gal uchat, W. H. Ingram, J. F. Rhame, B. P. Barron, Dr. S. C. C. Richardson, Maj. W. F. B. Haynsworth, and Joha S. Wilson. - ^ The resolutions were then unani mnosly adopted, after which the meet ing was adjourned. The Thornwell Orphanage. The Thornwell Orphanage, in Clin ton, S. C., though under Presbyterian :are, is open to children of any State and any faith. Its 76 inmates, (soon 1 be 100) are from Maryland tc exas, and from seven different denom inations The orphans are not only given a ~ood education, but are also taught all domestic work and several trades. Their labors in the kitchen, laundry, ~arm, and work-shops largely reduce h cost of support, which is about $5 month fo.t each child, this including svery expense. The support comes from the chari ~able. We suggest to our Christian public hat collections be taken up on Thanks iving Day for the orphans, or that iberal donors send their gifts to the Rev. Win. P. Jacobs, D. D., Clinton, 3. C., who is at the head of the Insti bution. We learn that the Institution is now [n pressing need. What is done, should be done quick ly an libeall TH MANNING TflLES. S. A. NETTLES, Editor. WEDNESDAY, November 6,1889. REV. A. NETTLES. Rev. Abraham Nettles died at his residence in this place this afternoon at 2 1-2 o'clock, after an illness of ten days, of typhoid fever. He was born near Summerville, S. C., June 4, 1808; joined the South Carolina Conference at its 49th session, in Columbia, Feb ruary, 1835; and was superanuated December, 1876. He was probably the oldest member of the S. C. Con- , Conference. Rev. Dr. Whitefoord Smith, of Wofford College, joined the Conference two years before Mr. Nettles; Rev. Samuel Leard and Rev. David Seale joined the same year as Mr. Nettles, but all these ministers are younger in years than Mr. Nettles. Mr. Nettles leaves a wife and four cbildren, three of whom reside in this county, and one in Texas. He has one brother living, older than he was. Just three weeks ago, in this place, an aged sister of his died. She was eighty-seven years old. None knew better than the editor of this paper, the true nobility of character and the great loving kind Hesa of this grand old man of God. His aims and aspirations were all of a high and lofty character, and his life was a constant benediction to those around him. He loved his fam ily, was devoted to them, and endeav ored to raise all his children in the nurture and fear of God. Though a Methodist preacher, and working on a small salary, yet he saved enough to give tocch the best collegiate edu cation the State afforded. An educa ion he said was all the legacy he ycould leave his children. Mr. Nettles had not a collegiate ed ucation himself, but on theolcgical and doctrinal points he was well versed having few superiors. He *joined the conference at a time when :Methodism was young and aggressive, andhe made adeep study of the oc Stinesofhis church. He believed that the Methodist theology was the best, Sand heso preached and lived it. thie Lord bad no further need of'his services below; and was quietly waiting for the summons to come on high. It came. It came so quietly, so gently, aepeacefully, that we, as we stood biending over his loved form, was un ~ableto tell just when his spirit took dt fight heavenward. WE NEED COIPETITION. 'The Eutawville railroad was coin plated lash Saturday as far as M. Le Ni.pae, about five or six miles from it is likely to reach Da ~~Levi's store, opposite Summerton, Sii week. They have already begun Kiuaing cotton, and are competing yithkthe steamboats. A bale of cot itio~s arried by the Eutawville rail ~a from Summerton to Charleston ~Zr$1.25. A bale of cotton from ~Xig to Charleston, by the Central ~7~o&costs 32ecents a hundred, or from C 10 to-$2.00 a bale. The steamboat ~criscotton for $1.04 a bale, which ~ ~abds16 cents for insurance, and &wants for wharfage. Mannning thus labors under a great &isdvantage in the matter of freight, ghcosting a tenth of a cent more on a bale from Manning than from Sum morton. We have also heard it stated that the Wilson and Summerton road - will also enter the field of competi tion and carry cotton at same figures as the Eutawville road, $1.25 per bae Our Manning merchants naturally feel aggrieved at this discrimination against them, and are very anxious for the Eutawville road to build a connecting or branch line to Manning. 4s far as Manning is con'cerned it takes no difference whether the line runs to Summerton or to Thames's; we want the line: and should the branch line be built it would get its full share, of the freight traffic of this place. Our merchants are very anxious for this competing line, and they hope it will be built at once. - AOUT OURSELF. We appreciate the many kind words to us last week about the TmErS. We are striving to publisha good pa per, and the support given us nerves us to do our best. Severe sickness in our family for the past several weeks has done much to keep us from doing all we wanted to do, but nver yet was night so dark but that the day did -follow. We had more money paid us last week on subscrip tions, and received more kind words Land congratulations, than in any oth er one week since we have been in the newspaper business. Our aim is to maka THE Messen TIMEs a neces Twenty impolite Things. Loud and boisterous laughing. Reading when others are talking. Talking when others are reading. Cutting finger nails in company.

THAT LITTLE TICKLING In your throat which makes you cough once in a while and keeps you constantly clear ing your throat, arises from catarrh, and as catarrh is a constitutional disease the ordi nary cough medicines all fail to hit the spot. What you need is a constitutional remedy like Hood's Sarsaparilla. Many people who have taken this medicine for scrofula, dyspepsia, loss of appetite, and other troubles, have been surprised that it should cure this troublesome cough. But to know the actual cause of the cough is to solve the mystery. Many cases of consump tion can be traced back to the neglect of some such slight affection as this. Con sumption can be controlled in its early stages, and the effects of Hood's Sarsapa rilla in purifying the blood, building up the general health, and expelling the scrofulous taint which is the cause of catarrh and con sumption, has restored to perfect health many persons on whom this dreaded disease seemed to have a firm hold. Sumter News. [Sumter Advance.] * On Monday 14 prisoners were taken' to the penitentiary in charge of guards from there. Tom and Dave Somers are still in the jail as they appealed for a new trial. Gen. E. W. Moise had his prize acre of corn gathered and measured on last Friday in the presence of a committee and repre sentatives of the press. He made 527 bushels. As far as we have been able to learn the crops of corn, pease, and potatoes have turned out well in this county, but the cot ton especially the late planted, is turning out very short. Major Ormsby Blanding died at the resi dence of Col. J. D. Blanding on Tuesday last. Maj. Blanding was one of the vete rans of the Mexican war in which he bore himself with conspicuous bravery. Al though disabled by a wound, he bore the burdens of life uncomplainingly, and in a quiet unobtrusive way fulfilled life's duties conscientiously. A good citizen and faith ful soldier has passed away from earth's conflicts. [(JWdchmnndu Soutkron.] Ephriam Thompson, a train hand on the local freight on the Central road, while coupling ears on Friday evening last, had his right arm so badly mashed that it had to be amputated above the elbow. Dr. Mood-assisted by Drs. China and Baker performed the operation. The patient is doing well. Ancrum Slater, colored, a former slave of Col. H. E. L. Peebles, fell in the fire in a fit a few nights ago at his home near Stai-e burg, and was severely burnt about the hands, face aid one knee. The injury to his hands turned out to be so severe that it became necessary to amputate both hands which was done by Dr. Hamilton Burgess. Two large and fine engines have been brought here for use on the Eutawville road. They are made to burn coal or wood, and have all the recent improvements. Two new passenger coaches passed through Augusta the other day belonging to this road. The track has been extended across the main line of the WV. C. & A. road, and preparations are being inade to erect the passenger station, the freight depots and other buildings, on the ground given by the city. Poisoned with Malaria. Mr. S. D. Price, a native of this State, but now a prominent and influ ential citizen of Dallas, Texas, writes under date of April 12,1889: "About three years ago I was living in a ma larial district of Georgia, and while there frightful sores broke out all over my body. The poison in my blood was so bad that it ruined my health and prostrated me. I was at length so reduced in health, and apparently incurable, after taking large quanti ties of different medicines prescribed by my physicians, that they, as a last resort, advised me. to go to Hot Springs, as it was the only chance of recovery left, and in this they express ed their serious doubts that I would derive any benefit from the trip. I went to Hot Springs, and while there took a thorough course of medicine unden the physicians, which seemed to benefit, but did not cure me, for in one month after my return the malady reappeared. I immediately began taking S. S. S., which made me per manently well--well from 1886 until Skin Eruption Cured. One of my customers, a highly re spected and influential citizen, but who is now absent from the city, has used Swift's Specific with excellent re sult. He says it cured him of a skin eruption that he had been tormented with for thirty years, and had resisted the curative qualities of many other medicines. ROBERT CLEGG, Druggist, Falls City, Neb.

Having had samples of cotton from other gins com pared with those from ours by competent judges, we can now assure our patrons at least 14 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. F. Levi Quotes a Few Prices. The Fall season is here, cotton is coming into market rapidly.

In Virginia the Republican candi date for governor is making some startling announcements by way o: bible lessons for negroes. Circulars with scriptural references are sent out calling si~cial attention to the 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th, and 18th chapters of Joshua. In fact the negro is made to believe he is one of the seven tribes which has not received his -inheri tance. It is the peculiar distinction of In. dia that it has been the theatre of four great religions--indooism, Buddhism, Mohammedanism, and Christianity. The first three havE each had many centuries of opportu* nity, and yet Christianity has donE more for the elevation of Indian so iety in the last fifty years than dur. ing all the long ages of their domina. tion. Neither Buddhbism nor Moham medanism made any serious impres. sion upon caste, neither was able tc mitigate the wrongs which had been heaped on woman; Mohammndain rather aggravated them. The ahor. rors 'of the suttee and the murder oi female infants, those bitterest fruits of superstition, were left unchecked till the British Governmnent, inspired by Christian sentiment, branded theim as infamous and made them crimes. Even the native sentiment of India is now greatly changed, and the general morality of the better classes is raised above the teaching of their religion. IsaCatarrh. Isaconstitutional and not a local disease and therefore it cannot be cured by local ap plications. It requires a constitutional rem edy like Hood's Sarsaparilla, which, working through the blood, eradicates the inpurity which causes and promotes the disease, and effects a permanent cure. Thousands of people testify to the success of Hood's Sarsa Catarrhi parfila as a remedy for catarrh when other preparations had failed. Hood's Sarsaparilla also builds up the whole system and makes you feel renewed in health and strength. "Hood's Sarsaparilla has helped me more for catarrh and impure blood than anything else I ever used." A. BALL, Syracuse, N. YI. Hood's Sarsaparilla Soldbyalldruggists. 31; sixfor3S.

The undersigned would indeed be ungrateful were they not to return many thanks for the liberal supp.ort of many of Claren don's best people. We are annually enlarging our business in all branches, and are offering Unusual Inducements to purchasers. We are accused of catering for the farmers' trade, and we feel a just pride in pleading "Guilty" to the Indictment. Need we ask what would become of the country were it not dependent on the success of the farmers? In order therefore,. to insure their success is it not the part of wisdom for the merchant to LEND-A HELPING HAND ? We, at least entertain this opinion, anid tene orth will di= vide profits with them-and in fact all patrons of'our House. We are in no hurry to accumulate wealth, especially at the expense of the TOILING M.ASSES. With this view of business as it exists to-day, we ask our friends of Clarendon county to visit us, make A Special Call, and we feel assured of convincing them of the truth of these statements. We desire especially to mention the fact that we handle Staple Groceries by the Car Load, which enables us to give our Patrons Rock Bottom Prices. Before placing your orders be sure to see us.
