THE ANNNG TIMES.
--
Wednesday, November 13, 1889.
No town has ever improved that'<
neglected to support its paper.
The President has set apart Thurs- a
day, November 2S, as a day of Na
tional thanksgiving and prayer. t
College presidents get about $5,000 t
a year, jockeys get $10,000. In prac- l
tical America it pays better to ride a 1
real horse than it does to ride a r
hobby.
Young men take care! A young
lady in South Salem, Ohio, is reported
to be at the point of death, as the re
suilt of internal injuries caused by be- r
ing hugged too tightly by her sweet
heart.
If the girls of a family are gentle
and courteous one to another, the
boys are sure for very shame- to rub
off the sharpest edges of their be- a
havior, and be helpful and kindly to 2
their sisters. s
All men have their frailties, and 0
whoever looks for a friend without n
imperfections will never find what he a
seeks. We love ourselves notwith- 2
standing our faults, and we ought to t1
love our friends in like manner. b
Mr. Edison has succeeded in put- "
ting a very human cry into a lifeless
doll, but he has not succeeded in re
moving the vociferous cry from a live
baby. There are feats beyond even
the reaches of the genius of an Edi
son. t]
The Farmers' Alliance has one a
great thing to do, and that is to stick. b
If the members will only unite and t(
pull together they will easily win and C
control the cotton market, but if they t]
grow weak and divide then they will f
be whipped. t]
English treasury officials are be- i
ginning to wonder if the big guns of d
d
their navy are really worth what they
cost. Each time a 110-ton gun is P
fired $1,200 goes out of the treasury.
It comes high, and there is a decided
disposition to abandon the big guns. t
Judge Norton has granted bail to c
W. B. Meetze who murdered James I. ti
Clarke in Columbia some time ago, and C
who was tried for the crime he coin- c:
nitted at the recent term of court n
and a mistrial was entered. Bail was b
fixed at $10,000 which he promptly a
gave and was discharged. o
"The last lie of the jute men," says f
the Na/ional Econom ist, "is to the ef
feet that the cotton bagging is taken
from the bale and jute substituted at
the city compresses.. However well
stuck to, this is simply a lie. Cotton
covered bales go through and on
shipb'ard without discrimination." f~
~The United States will this year C
produce 35 bushels of corn for every t:
man, woman. and child in the Uniteda
States. It must not be supposed that is
every person in the United States ,
will be called upon to eat this amount ii
of corn, as a great deal of it goes in- s<
to pork, and a very large amount in
to whisky.
The son of a farmer living in the '
rain belt of eastern Colorado attempt- I
ed to climb a corn stalk on his father's t
place the other day, but became dizzy t
and fell to the ground, breaking his h
arm. The boy's parents talk of bring- a
ing suit against the government for I
allowing crops to grow to such abnor- P
mal dimensions.a
A European savant says that lifea
may be indefinitely prolonged by reg- ti
ularly drinking the juice of the lemon.
And another European savant, who e
knows just as much-or as little-says a
that the surest way to shorten life is t
to drink lemon juice. Life would be ,
a very plain and simple problem if
it were not for the advice -of the wise i
men.
London is threatened with a bread e
famine, not from want of material, I
but in consequence of the prospective '3
bakers' strike. The men feel aggriev- I:
ed at having to work so many hours t'
for such small pay, and consequently y
they have given the masters notice e
that they will cease work on Novem- s
her 14 unless their demand is con- c
ceded. IJ
Mr. John A. Pizzini, a prominent
citizen of Richmond, Va., who has
been paralyzed for more than a year,
did not fail to cast his vote Tuesday
for the Democratic ticket. He was
afraid to undertake to go to the polls ~
in a carriage, but sat in a chair and
was rolled to the voting place by a
policeman. This is a sample of the1
spirit in Virginia which snowed Ma
hone under by 40,000 majority.
An editor works 3G5 1-4 days in a I
year to get out fifty-two issues of a
paper; that's labor. Once- in a while f
somebody pays him a year's subscrip
tion; that's -capital. And once in c
awhile sonme son-of-a-gun-of-a-dead
beat takes the paper for a year or two 1
and vanishes without paying for it;t
that's anarchy. But later on justice
will overtake the last named creature,t
for there is a place where he wvill get
his just deserts; that's hell.-Er. 1
The 1ate Governor John L. Man
ning sprang from families whose sons
were vrominent in the executive his
tory of South Carolina. His father,
Richard I. Manning, his grand uncle,;r
James B. Richardson, his uncle, Johnt
Peter Rlic-hardson, and he himself all
occupied the Gubernatorial chair of
this Commonwealth. Our present
Chief Executive, John Peter Richard'
son, was his first cousin. Besides~
these a relative by marriage also tilled'
this honored position, Gen. Wade,
Hampton, a nephew of his first wife.
A prominent Savannah merchant'C
has just r-eturned from a tour of'3
Southern Georgia. He reports the
farmers prospe-rous and the country
in splenldid condition. The fair weath
er- has enabled the farmers to harvest
their crops in good condition, and
they wvill realize from 25 to 35 per'
cent. more for them than they did for
last year's crop. Cotton picking is
going right ahead, and by the middle 1
of this month the crop will have been
gathered. The staple is as fine as it
has ever been in that section of Geor
gia. The most of the cotton grown
nd gathered in South Georgia wvill 1

Priitins the News.
A paper is printed to publish ti
sews. Whatever its politics or it
bility, it will be measured by th
ullness with which it prints daily o<
urrences. A man who pay
is subscription enters into
ontract with the paper to giv
ii the news, and every time an iten
f local significence is suppressed th
>aper violates that contract. 0
ourse, an editor or publisher mus
lisriminiate between what is new
nd what is not. There are happen
ogs which must be omitted fror
heir nature and character. The bet
er policy of newspaper men is to ca
er to good taste rather than curiosity
gut it frequently happens that pub
ishers are called on to suppress item
a order to spare the feelings of per
ons and families. It should be un
erstood that the editor is not th
uardian of such feelings. He can
of dictate the doings of a communi
F, nor can he keep out of print the
ecords of legitimate events. W

The court of general sessions fo:

oise on the streets that his Hono:

The Origin of Lynch Law.
(Pittsbwunj, ( Pa.) Dis'patch.]
I have seen a brief article, copied
'omn your columns, about the origir
lynch law. In the article, Col
iharles Lynch, of Virginia, is men.
oned as the person from whom this
Law" (?) took its name. The truti
, that it is probably as hard to tel
'ho was the founder of lynch law as
is to tell "who struck Billy Pater.
Appleton's Cyclopredia says, "Ac
>rding' to some authorities, the tern
as derived from a Virginia farmei
amed Lynch, who, having caughta
ie, instead of delivering him t<
ie law, tied him to a tree and flogget
im with his own hands. Anothe:
:count says that 'in 1087-8 on<
ivnh was sent to America to sup
ress piracy; but as the laws were nol
]ministered with much vigor in the
lonies, owing to the difficulty o:
lhering to the usual forms of law' in
1e newly-established territories, it is
resumedl that this Judge Lynch was
cpowered to proceed summaril2
ainst pirates, and thus gave rise tc
e term.' Still another account
hich seems to rest on no good au.
iority, connects the term with Mr
synch, the founder of Lynchburg
a. But it can be traced to a muel
rlier date in Ireland. In 1493 Jame:
'itzstephens Lyrnch was Mayor ani
7arden of Galway. He traded large
rto Spain,and sent his son thithe
> purcha5a cargo of wine. Th<
oung man squandered the mone2
atrusted to him for this purpose, bu
acceeded in running in debt for
irgo to a Spaniard, by whose nephev
e was accompanied on the returr
oage to Ireland, where the mone:

onceal his defalcation, caused the
paniard to be thrown overboard

onor, as having conducted a mos
uccessful business operation. But
alor on his death-bed revealed t<
he Mayor of Galway the crime whicl
is son had committed. The youn,
aan was tried before his own father
onvicted, and sentenced to be hanged

The Distance to Hell.
e A person, who by birth, wealth, and
s education should have been a gentle
e man but was not, went to see a coal
mine. The miner who took him down
s was a Christian, and was much pained
a by the profane language used by the
visitor. As they descended the shaft
they felt it getting hotter. At last the
heat became so great that the visitor
said: "Dear me it is terrible hot! I
t wonder how far it is to hell?" "I
s don't know the exact distance, sir," re
- plied the Christian mine, gravely,
2 "but if one link in the chain gives
way you will be there in a minute."
This plain answer was the means of
arousing the profane gentleman to a
- sense of his perilous position. In the
case of every unconverted man there
"is only one step-a breath-betwixt
- him and death, "and after death the
judgment."
"You Kissed Me.'
The following poem was written in
1867 by Miss Frona Corey, a lady un
der 20 years of age. James Redpath,
the historian, thought so much of the
poem that he had an edition printed
on white satin. John G. Whittier, the
Quaker poet, wrote of it and its young
author, that she had truly mastered
the secret of English verse
You kissed ae ! My head
Dropped low on your breast
With a feeling of shelter
And ininite rest,
While the holy emotion
My tongue dared not speak
Flashed up in a laue
From my heart to my cheek.
Your arms held me fast :
Oh ! your arms were so bold
Heart beat against heart
In their passionate fold.
Your glances seemed drawing
My soul through my eyes
As the sun draws the mist
From the seas to the skies.
Your lips clung to mine
Till I prayed in my bliss
They might never unclasp
From the rapturous kiss.
You kis;ed me ! My heart,
And my breath and my will
In delirious joy
For a moment stood still,
Life had for me then
No temptations, no charms,
No visions of happiness
Outside of your arms.
And were I this instant
An angel possessed
Of the peace and the joy
That are given the blest,
I would fling my white robes
Unrepiningly down,
I would tear from my forehead
Its beautiful crown
To nestle once more
In that haven of rest
Your lips upon mine.
My head on your breast.
You kissed me ! My soul
In a bliss so divine
Reeled like a drunken man
Foolish with wine;
And I thought 'twere delicious
To die there, if death
Would but come while mazy lips
LWere yet moist with your breath;
If I might grow cold
.While your arms clasped me round
In thecir passionate told.
.And thes~e are the qulestions5
I ask day and night:
Must nmy lips5 taste no more
Such exquisite delight ?
Would you care if your breast
IIWere mny shelter as then,
And if you were here
Would you kiss tme again ?

Zuednsware, Tinware, and in fact any and all articles and items that the average man or womn
ould want. We have on hland one of the finest lines of Cooks ever brought to any market. We
ave in this line of Cooks all numbers and sizes. Small enough for the young man just mar
ied, and large enough for a family of twenty. We have taken great pains this year in the se
ctioi of our stock of
Fancy and Staple Croceries,
ud all we can say is that we want all the good accounts in town and in the country. We can
nd will sell you all the goods you want cheaper than you can buy them, and all you will have
> do to convInce yourself of this fact is to come and see, and you will be convinced thato
tock by far is sup)erior to anything in this section of the State.
We keep no goods but vat bey'Trom first
hands, and all such we can recommend.
Besides this we have abolished the old mode of transacting business. In former years, we
wing to the fact that we like all Americans like to keep up with the fashion and the ways of all
round 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 represented
housands of dollars. 3-8 claims out of date. barred by the Statute of limitation, 3-8 barred by
he right of the landlord, and 2-8 barred by the drought and expiration of wind in the lungs'of
Id ponies and blind mules. A11 these amounts kept running on: each year they were footed
p as assets--a big bubble made, filled with air. and like the boy's soap bubble soon burst, ten
ut gone, account worthless. le had run the tenant in the spring and summer, when naught
vas in sight: the landlord took him up when the cotton came in. He awoke, and swore that he
ould never follow such business again; that bright as the prospects might be, that armed with
1l1 the wisdom and energy lie could comniand, and closing his ear to the suffering of the past,'
lie would forever quit the old mode, and change
his business to something tangible.
So this year we ha. e done so-we will sell you all the goods you want for credit or cash at
ower pri'es than you ever bought at before: but let's have some idea when you are going to pay.
WV don't want an' more millenimniiii accounts or notes. TWe may not be present to collect them
uid the banks don't want any paper over four mouths, and we sincerely trust we will get the
rop of 1889 out before it comes, for we have one of the largest crops this year that we have
- had. No introduction is needed. no apology IS oflered for 1889.
It comes freighted with the wisdom of c'entlies and each corn crib is loaded with the richest
reasurethat God ever gave mal. Bread no object and Bacon at the price we are selling, no
)le ,ali complain. And all should feel good this year. Let us get out of debt; let all of. us
Uomincne asew, and the prices we are selling any and all fuies of goods at to-day, will coi
ince all that come that some miraculous change has taken place. Well it has.
We Want to Live, and Want You to Live!
md we therefore shall try and piease all in prices and goods, and we want to build up in Man
in; what Clarendoi County needs. a first class store where you can get what you want andare
n need of at a living price. and in order to conVince yoi of this we must ask you to come and
gee Yes. Crops are magnificent this year: cotton bringing better prices than for years: let
is get out of debt. and work on a cash basis. I lli prepared to offer for the cash the greatest
nducements that any merchant caii olfer. Conic to see me. Yours respectfully,
