A number of-citizens met in the court house, at 12 o'clock last Wednes day, to do respect to the memory of Jeff Davis. Capt. D. J. Bradham, a one armed Confederate veteran, was called to the chair. Mr. J. H. Leses ne was requested to act as secretary. Maj. H. H. Lesesne introduced the following resolutions: Wmnas, we, the citizens of Manning, and the county of Clarendon realizing the powers of the one Divine and true God, and ko that we can but submit to that whieh doth decree, whether it be to re move from this earth the small babe or the mighty statesman; and, whereas, we have read' with painful regret of the death of Jef aerson Davis, Ex-President of the Confed ' eratea States of America, and Ex-Secretary of War for our glorious Union; therefore, be it Resolved, That Jeff Davis was the embodi ment of true and noble manhood; that we shall ever remember him as the leader of that cause in the defence of which so many true Southerners poured out their blood and mauianh their lives on the field of bat - nmb4 'That we shall ever cherish the nameofJ Davis; thathis name will be a household word, and will go down into pos terity. to pow in fame as time continues, ande will over be known as' one among the great statesmen of the earth; that we ex our sympathy to his family, and that resolutions be published in the county papers and the Koews and Courier. Rev. Jas. McDowell, L C. Gallu chat, Capt. D. J. Bradha, S. E. In gram, S. A. Nettles, Rev. T. J. Rooke, and L.

A large number of our people lost money at the circus last week, and the following, from the Cheraw Reporter, tho in not very elegant language, yet tells the tale unvar nished, and is as applicable to Clarendon as to Chesterfield: A crowd of people as usual, patronized the sharpers in the circus last Friday and most of them lost their money. Why will people always be such fools as to think they can beat a man at his own game? Don't they know that the gamblers always let a few win in order to encourage others, so they can swindle them all the more? We have no doubt that many, who owed debts they professed not to be able to pay, lost money by these sharpers, and all because they had so more sense than to think they were more expert at a certain game than the man who makes it his business to make money out of hat game, "'a Presents in the most elegant form THE LAXATIVE AND NUTRITIOUS.UJOE -OF TX FIGS OF CALIFORNIA, Coibined' with the medicinal virtues of plants known to be most beneficial to the human 1 system, forming an 'agreeable and effective laxative to perma nently cure Habitual Consti pation, and the many ills de pending on a weak or inactive condition of the KIDNEYS, LIVER AND BOWELS.

Real estate is assessed this year. 1890. nd all parties owning land, lots, and build ngs will please look up their deeds, where ecessary, and get the right numbJr of ires, lots, and buildings that they may own mn the first day of January, 1890. All build ngs of any sort, that are worth ten dollars >r over, are to be returned. A good way for the taxpayer, who has nuch property to return, is to make a mem >ran dum of each'ouilding and its value, the iumber of horses, cattle, mules, sheep and 1oats, hogs, watches, organs and pianos, auggies, wagons and carriages, dogs, mer :handise, machinery, moneys, notes and ac munts (above indebtedness), furniture, &c., hich will save the taxpayer time, and ena le the assessor to progress in the work. Taxpayers return wheat they own on the Erst day of January, 1890. Assessors and taxpayers will enter the first iven name of the taxpayer in full, also make a separte return for each party for he tonsip the property is in, and where he taxpayer owns realty to insert the post Cofe as their place of residence, and those who Qonly own personal property to give the party's name who owns the land they live on as their residence, which aids the tax payer as well as the county treasurer in makig the collection and preventing errors. Every male citizen between the ages of twenty-one and fifty years on the first day of January 1890, except those incapable of earning a support from being maimed, or fronrother causes, shall be deemed taxable polls. All returns that are made after the twen tieth day af February next have to be placed on the additional list and fifty per cent. penalty added thereto, unless prevented by sickness or out of the county during the time of listing. Not knowing the time of listing is no excuse. And all owners of real estate might do their tenants, who can not read or take a newspaper, a retfavor by making their returns or telling them the time of listing, and that if they fil to make their returns mn time that the valuation has to be increased fifty per cent. unless they have a good excuse. The assessing and collecting of taxes is all done now in the same year, and we have to aggregate the number and value of all the ho~rses, cattle, mules, &c., as well as the acres of land, lots and buildings and their value, that there is in the county and have the same on file in the Comptroller Gener als offee by the thirtieth day oT June each year. And from that time to the first day of October each year the auditor's and treas urer's duplicate has to be completed and an abstract of the work in the Comptroller's offce by that time, which will show at a glance that the auditor has no time to take in returns, or do anything else much, be tween the first day of March and the first day of October each year, but work on the books and blanks. Therefore hope that all taxpayers will dto us the favor of making their returns in time. DANIEL J.

An OpenLeterto Our Friends and Patrons --OF CLARENDON COUNTY. The undersigned would indeed be ungrateful were they not to return many thanks for the liberal support 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, and henceforth 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.A.SSES. 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 assuied 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 Patrols' Rock Bottom Prices. Before placing your orders be sure to see us.
