BRIRT OUTLOOK.
If we are any judge of the signs of
the times, Manning is about to begin
a new lease on prosperity, and the
deadness that has prevailed for some
time will be a thing of the past. Pro
gress and enterprise have for some
time been in the distant background,
but for the past few months things
have been brightening up, and now
the prospect for success and prosper
ity is very flattering. Our people are
coming to realize that success de
mands effort, and that prosperity
smiles not upon the careless. A. few
months ago the Bank was started.
Some had grave doubts of its suc
cess, but it has succeeded, and is a
boon to this town and county. An
other enterprise, small but calculated
to do good, is the Dime Savings Asso
ciation, which was organized two
months ago. It, too, will do good,
for while it is small, handiing only
$200 or $250 each month, yet it will
have its influence in bringing the in
terest on money to its normal state,
and in getting our people to have
confidence in joint stock institutions.
We must learn the lesson from the
fable of the bundle of sticks, and by
united effort build up our commercial
interests. Every man working for
himself, and the devil for all, will re
sult in disaster to any town.
Manning has many natural advan
tages. Our climate is fine; our water
cannot be cxcelled this side the moun
tain springs; the drainage of the town
is all that we could ask for; the health
of the town cannot be surpassed by
any town in the State; wood is very
cheap, costing only $1.50 a cord for
oak or pine; our meat and vegetable
market is well supplied, for while the
county does not by any means furnish
all we need, yet fat chickens from
North Carolina, and fresh fish and
oysters from Savannah, Charleston,
Georgetown, Wilmington, and Ports
mouth, and other things in the same
way, furnish, with pork, beef, eggs,
etc., enough to satisfy the wants of any
ordinary man. Our fruit market is
also well supplied, and the fruit is sold
at low prices. Our lands are fully the
equal of any in the State, needing
only cultivation and improvement.
We might go on enumerating many
other advantages Manning has, but
what is the use ? We all know of
them.. uw have not been puttino
our shoulders to the wheel, and push
ing forward. Manning and Claren
don only needs to be developed, and
a bright future is near at hand.
THE BUILDING AND LOAN.
A building and loan association is
one of the best institutions for devel
oping and inproving a town. It ena
bles any one at a very small expense
to own a home of his own, and any
man who owns his own home, is, all
things equal, a better citizen than the
one that rents. Sumter owes much
of her progress to building .and loan
associations, and to the gocd work
done on the building and loan plan
by some of her progressive citizens,
who had the capital to do so. And
so with Florence, Marion, Anderson,
and many other growing towns in the
State.
Manning has felt the need of a
building and loan, and efforts have
been made to organize one, but with
out success till now. One was organ
ized in this place last week, styled the
Young Men's Building and Loan As
sociation. It is under excellent man
agement4 and will prove a blessing to
our town. The association will be
able to loan out about $500 each
month, to be used in building in the
town of Manning or in some other
part of the county of Clarendon.
We sincerely hope that the spirit
of opposition frequently manifested
in this place will, in this most excel
lent enterprise, be allowed to remain
quiet. Help it all you can. If you
cannot take twenty-five shares, take
two or three, or even one share. It is
a good investment viewed in any
light. It will enable the borrower,
by paying monthly but a little more
than his usual rent, to own in a few
years a home of his own. Owing to
the plan of collecting principal and
interest monthly, and immediately
putting it out again at interest, and
keeping up this plan every month for
the life of the association, the in
vestor will, by careful calculation, be
able to realize in seventy-five months,
double his investment. It thus bene
fits on every side and in every way.
We hope our citizens will give this
most worthy enterprise their hearts
co-operation and support.
Leaving out of the calculation, un
seasonable weather, disasters and oth
er matters beyond human control, it is
safe to say that anything which has~
real merit; for which there is a need,
or want; or for which a want can be
created; and which sells at a reasona
ble price, can be profitably advertised
in the newspapers.
When doctors see that one of their
patients is about to die, they say thai
p is case has assumed a "grave" as
Our Charleston Advertisers.
The M TiM.Es is one of the very
best printed papers in the State. Its adver
tisements are tastefully set, atiractive, easily
read, and are read by almost everybody in
the county. The best and most enterpris
ing and progressive advertisers see this
great advantage, and as a natural result, the
TIMES contains the advertisements of the
leading business houses that desire the all
year-around trade of Clarendon. If our
read.:rs will, in trading with these houses,
remember to mention the fact that they saw
their advertisement in the TDiEs it would
be doing us a valuale favor. But most
people never think of this. It would help
us, and gratify the advertiser.
Last week we mentioned several promi
nent Charleston houses, and this week call
attention to the following sterling Charles
ton firms:
Just now everybody is making arrange
merits for the year, and few firms are more
popular in Clarendon than that staunch old
house, Smyth & Adger. They have a very
large capital invested, and, as far as we
know, have given satisfaction to our people.
They wish to increase their trade in Clar
endon, and will offer as great inducements
as any house in the city. By all means
give them a chance.
A very popular house with our people is
that firm of young and enterprising whole
sale grocers. John F. Werner & Co. They
sell all kinds of choice family groceries and
claim that they cannot be undersold. They
already have a good trade in this county,
but desire to increase it. Give them a
showing.
Another first class grocery house is C.
Wulbern & Co. They make a specialty of
dour. This house is firmly established, has
a good patronage in this county, and have
made a repatation of which they may well
feel proud.
Guanos are necessary to make big crops,
and the Wilcox & Gibbs Guano Co. manu
facture and deal in a number of high grade
fertilizers. They will quote low prices. Be
sure to get their prices.
But dry goods must also be bought, and
Johnson, Crews, & Co., is one of the oldest
wholesale Louses in Charleston. They
wish the trade of our merchants, and of our.
large farmers who buy dry goods by the'
wholesale.
In jewelry, Carrington, Thomas, & Co.
will be found an excellent -house to deal
with. An old house, with a fine business
reputation, and a very large stock of jewelry,
silverware, fancy goods, etc., customers may
rest assured of fair treatment at their
hands.
BEAUTY SAVED HER.
A Case Something Like Mrs. Jlaybriek's,
Except the Ending-Story of Ihe Charge
.gainst Mrs. Morris, Whose Lawyers
Set Up No Defense Whatever.
RALEIGH, N. C., Jan. 27.--TIhe trial of
Mrs. Cora Seai'; Mozrris for the .iurtder of
her husband last August, which has been
in progress at Wentworthi, in Rockingham
county, several days, ended to-d:'y in the
acquittal of the accased.
The case has attracted scarcely less inter
est throughout the State than the Maybrick
and Kniffin cases. Mrs. Morris is a niece
of ex-Gov. Scales, and is a young woman of
unusual beauty. Mr. and Mrs. Morris re
sided at Reidsville, and had been married
only about eight months at the time of his:
deah.Thy idnot live happily. h
The fccaeout during the trial that
IMrs. Morris, a fewv days before her hus
Iband's death, bought two ou ices of' chloro
form from a druggist in Reidsville. Two
weeks before Mr. Morris's death, his wife
Treposed timt he will her all liis property
and insure his life in her favor for $10,000.
So desirous was Mr. Morris of winning her
affections that he acceded. The will was
executed and the policy for $10,000 taken
iout with the Mutual Benefit -Life Insurance
Comnpany, of Newark, N. J.
On the morning of the death of Mr. Mor
ris an empty chloroform bottle was found
fin his room, and also a handkerchief satu
rated with it. Strong evidence was given!
against the accused, and the defense offered
no evidence whatever.
There was a general conviction, however,
that a verdict of "not guilty" would be
brought. Argument was closed to-day at
noon, and the jury was only out five min
utes and brought in a verdict of "not
guilty."
Mrs. Morris was perfectly calm and coin
posed, and seemed to expect the verdict to
be what it was. General gratification at the
'result is reported to exist at Reidsville.
Pimples. blotches, scaly skin, ugly spots
sores and ulcers, abscesses and tumors, un
healthy discharges, such as catarrh, eczema,
ringworm, and other forms of skin diseases,
are symptoms of blood impurity. Take Dr.j
J. H. McLean's Sarsaparilla.
Faults of digestion cause disorders of the
liver and the whole system becomes derang
ed. Dr. J. A. McLean's Sarsaparilla perfects
the process of digestion and assimilatiorn,
and thus makes pure blood.
Even the most vigorous and hearty people
have at times a feeling of weariness and las
situde. To dispel this feeling take Dr. J. H.
McLean's Sarsaparilla; it will impart vigor.
and vitality.
The most delicate constitution can safely
use Dr. J. H. McLean's tar wine lung bal
sam. It is a sure remedy for coughs, loss
of voice, and all throat and lung troubles.

$250,000 Offered for a Business Enter
prise.
[Tolelo Bee.]
Few people in the city have a knowledg
of the magnitude of the enterprise handleI
by Col. Frank J. Cheney, andwhat he ha
made of 11atirs Catarrh Cure, which he man
ut.tures. It is one of the many busines
affairs of Toledo which has iultiplied-au
grown under careful managenent, until i
has assuned a standing in, the financia
world second to none. Readers of the .10
will remember that a few years ago Col
Cheney was seriously ombarrassed,'especial
ly after making the race for county treas
urer. With a load that would stagger the
bravest, Mr. Chenev settled down to hard
wock. and the result is that every claim
against him was settled dollar for dollar
This was not done by lucky speculation,
but by persistent, energetic pushing of ar
article which he believed to possess merits,
and he so stated in the liberal use of print
ers' ink.
Twelve years ago he secured the business
which he now holds, and has carried on in
the building near the corner of Adams and
Huron streets, which %vas erect::a for this
special purpose. That it has gained a won
derful and deserved reputation is evidenced
in the fact that yesterday an Eastern syndi
cate put in an appearance and offered Mr.
Cheney $250,000 cash for his plant, which,
after a short parley, was refused.
In this connection it is proper to say that
among the great advertising firms of the
country Mr. Cheney stands at the front-in
fact, at a recent meeting of the Connecticut
editorial association the president in his ad
dress classed him among the best three in
the United States. His advertising depart
ment is in itself a model, a corps of clerks
being constantly engaged in checking up,
etc., so that the slightest error does not pass
unnoticed.
Ti'doans in g.-neral will be gratified
with the good fortune that ;.as come to Mr.
Cheney. No other gentI.-man in the city
can coumt a larger nuober of friends. HisA
stern >usizess en ergy, eonpled with happy
social qualities, has zmde him a general fa
vorite,, and he will have their b~est wishes
for continued succHss. 1is work isanother
telling example that Toledo is a good place
in which to do business when conductod on
proper priucipl.-s. This is proven with
Hall s Catarrh Cure.

Nelhe Bly Makes the Trip Around the
World in 2 Days and ; lioirs.
NEw Yom-, Jan. 25. --Miss Nell1i? ly has
o.,-plted her trip arnoind the worl. She
;eeUpUh.'d the ta-k in 72 day-, G hours,
and 11 miinutes, having covered during her
travels a distance of 23,000 miles. Miss Biy
reached Jersey City over the Pennsylvania
Ruailroad at 3.51 this afternoon and wasgiv
en a hearty reception by a crowd of friends
and admirers which had gathered to. greet
her. Whistles of steam craft on the river
gave her a noisy welcome as she crossed the
ferry, and the salutes tired from Batttery
park and Fort Greene p~ark, Brooklyn, ad
ded to it. In New York she held a recep
tion at the World office on her arrival.
There are times whzen a feeling of lassi
tude will overcome the most robust, when
the system craves for pure blood, to fnrnish
the elements of health and strength. The
best remedy for purifying the blood is Dr.
J. H. McLean's Sarsapaiilla.
Sick headache, biliousness, nausea, cos
tiveness, are promptly and agreeably ban
ished by Dr. .J. H. McLean's liver and kid
ney pillets (little pills.)
If health and life are worth anything, and
you are feeling out of torts and tired out,
tone up your system by taking Dr. J. H.
McLean's Sarsaparilla.
Dizziness, nausea, drowsiness, distress af
ter eating, can be cured and prevented by
taking Dr. J. H. McLean's liver and kidney
pillets (little pills.)
For a safe and certain remedy for feve' and
ague, use Dr. J. H. McLean's chills and fe
ver cure; it is warranted to cure.
No need to take those big cathartic pills;
one of Dr. J. H. McLean's liver and kidney
pillets is quite suflicient and more agreeable.

A WIsow PLAN.-While many
plants in the window are often chary
of bloom, to the great disappointment
of their owners, the oxalis has this
merit, that it is never without flowers
iii season, and will reward, by its
abundance of bloom, the attention
bestowed upon it. It will entirely fill,
especially if more than one bulb be
planted, any basket, to the exclusion
of all else, for it is a vigorous grower,
and its leaf stems are equally profuse

other soft material, is made for the
seat, and one for the back; that for
the back does not require to be as
thick as the other. These cushions
are covered with cloth, or any other
suitable material that may be in the
house. A spray of flowers can be
embroidered on the eloth, or they
may be cut out of cretonne, and ap
pliqued with silk as near the shades
of the flowers as possible. Cover the
backs of the cushions with silesia of
the same color as the coverings. Tack
on the cushion with small tacks, so as
to be invisible. A piece of ribbon is
drawn across the back diagonally, I
with a bow at each end, and if a couple

HOM: ADOoniNs.--TheC following~
communicatiou was received from a
lady, and we know wvill prove quite
iuteresting to cour readers:
It is an exploded theory that Land
some house furnishings constitute or
even aid in making an attractive
home. In most instauces there is au
air of can't sit here, can't move that
chair, can't put your foot there, don't
touch thi, about lan.some roonis.
But it is not of these I propose telliug

not fresh lookingt, get a can of whi e
or di tinei p'ni. a1 s fh # i.
brush, and an au1ateur ('an1 paint the
wall; two or tiree coats of paint.
should be applied. When this is
thoroughly dry add a coat of vainish.
Should the walls be plastered, get a
cheap paper, generally tan, terra-cotta,
maroon, or gilt should predominate
in the figures. Make ordinary boiled
starch, put it on the wall with a wvhitc
wash brush, one width at a time.
With the assistance of one person,
any woman can paper the room.
Puft twvo coats of terra-cotta paint
on the floor, and then add one of;
hard-wood finish, this last prevents
dust from adhering. When dry, such
a iloor can be wined over with cold
water, in a few; !tiutes and be made
to look as fresh as when first painted.
If you have money for a carpet get a
bright but not gaudy ingrair., at, say
60 cents per yard. Cut so that it will
reach within two feet of the wvall on
every side. Sewv the widths without
"puckering," and bind the four sides
with ordinary' carpet braid. Now this
shonld be stretched ;md tacked close

a few remnants of Brussels and car
pet fringe, enough for the ends of a
few rugs. Get cast iron andirons,
with brass knobs if you can, a comt
mon wire fender with brass rim,
shovel and tongs with brass knobs,
and your fire place is prettily fur
nished.
Paint the mantel same color as floor,
applying varnish instead of h'ird-:
wood linish. If y'ou have ceiled walls
paint arch of fire place same shade,
if papered let color of arch corres

paper. Get a bright Brussels divan'
for six or eight dollars, a half doze.n
cane seat chlairs in maple, .three 0r
four arm rockers of same kmnd, viz:
cane and maple. For 30 or 40 cents
you can get bright hassocks, which in
front of rockers and divan are both,
pretty and comfortable. For the
windows use shades of linen, to cor
respond with colors in tile room, or
Nottinghlam lace curtains next the
windows and over them double faced
canton flannel; this last can be boughlt
for 20 cents per yard, and needs only
to be hemmed at both ends. Put up
on maple poles with - brass rings and
trimmings. These poles and trim
mings complete can be had for 35
cents per wiudow. Let both lace and
heavy curtain reach tile floor, loop thle
heavy one back about eighteen inches
from floor, brass chains and hooks for
this purpose come with poles. The
effect of windows so decorated is very'
plaing, more so than the shades,
Itho' more expensive.
