THE MANNIG TIMES. S. A. NETTLES, Editor. WEDNESDAY, February 5, 1890. BUILD UP THE TOWN. Never before in the history of the town of Manning has there been such a bright prospect for success and prosperity as there now is. It is hard, very hard, and in some cases impossi ble, to get some of our citizens to be lieve that any improvements in the town will benefit the whole town, and that. to make our town a prosperous, enterprising place we must all work together, with an eye to the future as much, even far more, than to the im mediate amount of money to be got ten from an investment. Our citizens with the most money cannot, it seems, realize the fact that to permanently benefit the town, they must make per manent improvements. A neat dwell ing house costing five hundred dollars is of more permanent gocd to this town than ten thousand dollars- put out on liens and mortgages. A town hUall costing ten thousand dollars would be a better investment lor the town, and for the capitalists, too, than the same amount put out on liens. A ten thousand dollar town hall would be a big thing for the town, a thing of beauty, and it would also bring in a large revenue. Why do not three or four of our capitalists put their hands in their pockets, build the hall, and otw ciy benefit themselves but bene fit the town too? We think the an swer is simply that the money would be permanently invested, and they are are afraid they might possibly lose one or two per cent. per annum on the investment. But will such a spirit tend to improve and build up a town? We of course recognize the fact that every man has the right to do what be pleases with his money, but we wish simply to show why this town has not grown. We need a town hall, we must have one, and we believe that in less than a year we will have one. A good plan would be to get the town to issue bonds for this purpose, and we hope it -will be done. There is a demand for stores and dwelling houses in this place, but many of the best sites are held by parties who will neither sell them, nor build on them. But the town all 4* he same will build. Other apparent :.ly less eligible sites will be built on, -and the business will be brought to e atis united aso wihor without a unanimousj united action (excuse the expression), the town will be built up. The Republicans in Congress have a majority of three in the House, but -'as this number is usually absent from -sickness or some other cause, they really do not in any day have a con stitational majority. Their plan is to unsat two or three Democratic mem bers, and put in Republicans in their place,. thus assuring them a constitu tional majority. The Speaker of the -House, Reid, to accomplish this end, is acting in a most tyrannical and un precedented manner, and the Repub licans have already unseated one member from Virginia, and supplied his place with a Republican. The Democrats are making a hot fight, * though with little hope of success. The policy of the Republican party is rule or ruin, and they care not what; -.what meansajge employed to keep *them in power. I Ei-President Cleveland has sold all of his Buffalo real estate. Yesterday A. B. Fleming was de olared elected governor of the State of West Virginia. The vote stood 43 to 40. Fleming is the Democratic candidate. -Three barrooms were opened in i Gaffney City on the first day of Feb rmary. It had been rumored that free treats would be dealt out, and as a; natural consequence the calaboose did a good business. Geo. A. Dennison, Jr., teller of the National Bank, Orange county, at Goshen, N. Y., committed su i yesterday. It turns out that he was1 a defaulter of -about $20,000, and shame drove him to desperation. Secretary Tracy, of the navy depart ment at Washington, lost his house by -fire gn the 3rd inst. One daughter and a servant girl were burned to a crisp. His wife was killed by a fall, and another daughter and grand daughter, together with the Secretary, were badly injured. 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 wlhich a want can be created; and which sells at a reasona ble price, can be profitably advertised in the newspapers. The Supreme Court of Alabama on the application for a new trial in the case of Dick Hawes, the man that was charged and convicted of killing his wife and child, and on whose account y so many people were killed in Bir mingham some time ago, has over ruled the motion for a new trial and Hawes must hang. At Kanas City yesterday Judge; Field rendered a decision in a suit of a itolcred man against a theatre man -ager, for damages for refusing to al-I low him a seat in the parquet after purchasing a ticket. The judge held that the colored man was admitted only under sufferance from the mana A Big Sale in Sumter. The Levi Brothers have again ac omplished a magnificent business eat. A party of Alliance men visited he city of Sumter one day last week, urmed with the proper implements of heir office, and with mind and heart. letermined to purchase a large quan ity of goods from the house that would sell them the best goods for the least money. These gentlemen knew what they were doing, as they had price lists with them from some of the largest business houses in the State and else where. They went from house to house, and priced and examined the goods, but when they struck the Levi Brothers they struck two first-class business men who were brought up with the times and could realize the fact that the farmer had learned from sad experience to understand the quality of goods and their value. So with that business shrewdness which is a noted characteristic of the family they grasped the situation. They allowed these men to examine their immense stock of dry goods, lothing, boots, shoes, groceries, &c., and after a careful examination and due deliberation they fixed the prices. When the prices were marked down these Alliance men gave up further effort. They were satisfied, and in consequence of the polite attention 3hown them and the willingness of the Levis to be satisfied with dispos ing of a large quantity of goods for a small profit, that day's work turned ,ut the largest and most profitable that they have ever had. Moral: Quick sales and small profits.

C., writes un ier date of November 8, 1888. "For years had a severe ease of nasal catarrh, with ill the disagreeable effects which belong to hat disease, which make life painful and ilmost unendurable. I used medicines pre :cribed by leading physicians, and suggest ad by numbers of friends, but without get ing any better. In the fall of 1887, I began o take Swift's Speeitic (S. S. S.) It had the lesired effect, and cured me after taking a 'ew bottles. In my opinion Swift's Specitic S. S. S.) is the only medicine now in use hat will effect a permanent cure of catarrh." Tormenting Pains. I had an attack of rh~eumatism that clung o me with persistence for nearly four years, lefying all the remedies prescribed by phy icians, and numbers of other medicines vhich I took. I was continually troubled vith tormenting pains. I finally concluded o give up all other treatment, and went to he drug store of Dr. J. C. Franklin. in this :ity; heie .I purchased a bottle of S. S.

SILvnit, Feb. 3.-The year 1890 with its commencement is environed with the same vicissitudes of care, toil, and embarrassments, as in former years. Every one possesses an anxious solic itude for his future welfare. Prepara tions for croppings, making arrange ments for supplies, are first in the minds of the people. Altogether the planters are more at ease this year than I have ever seen them. Mer chants are more ready to advance, and the community generally prepared to enter life's pilgrimage. Wonderful changes are worked all along the road to prosperity. We are hopeful of one of the greatest y6ars in the history of our grand old State. We live in a community abreast with this progressive age. Educational facilities are behind none. Railroad communication at our doors, so that the joy of our people knows no bounds. Silver is destined to rise in her might and at some future day be the place of note between Charleston and Sum ter. Guided by the knowledge of its location nothing retards her progress. Many of our people avail themselves of this way of railroad to Sumter. A heavy trade has been given to Sum ter by. this portion of the county. The Alliance men trade in Sumter princi pally. This of course will injure Manning to some extent, to what ex tent can only be realized in the future. Our Manning merchants are all good men, but on liens they have sold goods too high. Competition is the life of trade. This may be the means of in ducing a more lively trade for Man ning. The passenger fare, however, from Silver to Sumter amounts to an exorbitant swindle. It is seventeen miles, and for this you are made to pay seventy cents. How long this may continue I know not, but such is the dissatisfaction that travel to Charles ton is preferable on the Wilson and Summerton, or by Manning on the Central. A new post office will be opened at Silver in a few days. Mr. A. S. Briggs will be post master. The Silver Alliance, with Mr. A. W. Thames, Sr., president and James McCauley secretary, is on a boom. The two stores kept by Mr. A. W. Thames, Jr., and A. S. Briggs are al ways supplied with goods. Their prices are amazingly low. Stock is being taken for both the glass and soap factories. It is proposed to raise a building and loan association. A northern gentleman was here a few days ago-looking up a site to build a hotel. He remarked to the writer he liked Silver much better than any lo cation on the new road. Quite a novel suit was brought be fore Judge Mahoney's court by one Hind (colored), of Sumter, against Mr. Jolin W. Thames, of this county, for breaking a lock. Hind it seems built a house on Mr. B. W. Cutter's land without his permission. Hind was represented by Whittaker, of West Point notoriety. I think coun sel and client both returned to Sum ter wiser men. The State failed to make out its case. Rev. H. M. Mood preached us one of his most interesting sermons on yesterday. His subject was "Divine Providence;" clear and concise were the preacher's touching remarks. Mr. Mood has already gained the affec tions of this people. We have already learned to love him. ToMu.

[('maf lIecord.] Mr. Carlev Hodge, of Clarendon, and Miss Addie Humphrey, of this county, were miarried on the 23rd inst., by the Rev'. John O. Filyeaw. On Sunday morning last, a short time be. tore daylight, the following named prisoners made theii escape from the Kingstree jail, tp wit: Mose Wilson, charged with breach of the peace; Henry Keels, charged with rescuing a prisoner; Alexander Keels, charg ed wiith larceny; Chamberbain Fulton, charged with felony; and William Cuirlee, charged with carrying concealed weapuons. Mr. Z. T. McKnight's little daughter aged five years, was accidentally burned to death on the 22d instant. He had a tire in the yard, near where he was doing some. work, and the child \i'as playing about it, when its dress took tire. The ch:id ran, which of course increased the fire, and when her father caught her, and before he could relieve her, she was so severely burn ed that she died in a few hours. Mr. Mc. Knight's hands were badly burned, one of~ them so much so that he will not be able to use it in a long time. Mr. E. S. Sauls lost his store house and all the goods in it, his barn, stables, and all his grain, provender, etc., by' tire on Mon day night, between one and two o'clock. His son w'as sleeping in the store, and was awakened by the smoke which had tilled: his room. He ran out and discov'ered ~the tire burning in the top of the building. The wind w'as blowing a gale, and it was impossible to save anything in the store or barn. A number of horses, mules, cattle, sheep, and hogs were in the stables and lot. Mr. Sauls opened the doors and bars so that they might escape, but up to this writing it is not known whether all or any of the.m made their escape, or were destroyed by tire On Tuesday morning the woods and fencin on the plantation were on fire', but the neighbors had gathered and wecre assisting to stay the progress of the tire. T'he loss.i a heavy one, out we have no estimate of the amount. We learn there was no insurmee.

Good house-keeping does not necessarily consist in keeping things in perfect order, althog h order is one of the requisites, but it does consist in keeping a home sweet and orderly, providing well cooked food, and making the home so cheerful that every one coming in to it will feel better for having breath ed the atnostphere of such a home. A place like this is truly a home, and the woman who makes such deserves the respect and admiration of every one. Now I know there are men and women who think that just what any well conducted hotel - or boarding house can furnish is sufficient., but I do pity the man or woman who has no higher ideal of a home than what is furnished by a hotel, no matter how..sumptuous. A selfish womani can keep a home in perfect order, but she cannot make a home. A woman who would make an ideal home must possess judgment and a large share of charity and sympathy, must not de pend on money procuring everything,. but be willing to make with her own hands a large part of the comforts aLd ornaments of that home, though it should cost her some time. Mo-rms iN WoOLENs AND Fvas.--Most persons think it necessary to hang their winter clothes in the open air before packing them away for the summer. Experience has taught us that this method is not only useless but injurious. The clothes certainly do not need airing, having been in use all winter-most of them out of doors-and a moment's reflection will convince any one that clothing thus exposed is more than likely to be seized upon by the tiny moth millers which fly about in such numbers during early spring. Winter cloth ing should be thoroughly brushed im mediately before being packed away, as it is liable to receive the germs of destruction if allowed to lie about for even a few minutes, and if the tiny eggs of the moth are once deposited, we put them comfortably away in the trunks with- the clothes, and irrepara ble mischief is set on foot. Gum camphor is the best thing to put with the clothing, and about a pound of it should be used in each trunk, but the most essential part of the whole pro ceeding is the brushing. All woolen garments that are worn- during the summer-shawls, jackets, gowns, etc.-should be taken out of the clos ets and brushed regularly if not kept in constant use.-Amwrican Agric-td lurist. How ro MARE WASHED LACE CUR TAIn9 LooK As Tioian T1 IEV WERE NEw.-Wash and dry them in the usual manner; then starch and re-dry them; dip them in cold blueing water, or in water tinted yellow with gam boge or yolk of egg, if you wish the curtains to be cream-colored. Wring them out lightly and shake thoroughly to free the meshes from starch. Stretch and dry them without ironing. A tasteful way to arrange the narrow curtains at each side of the hail door is to gather the muslin or lace top and bottom, making them hang full. Then midway the curtains tie a rib bon, drawing the folds together in tha middle and make a pretty bow on the side next the glass. An attractive and inexpensive set of curtains for a library, sitting-room, or even aparlor, is composed of fleece dotted scrim, plaited at top so as to form a half moon; beneath fall the long curtains ornamented by tassels of alternate white and gold. Just above the win dow-ledge the folds are bound by a gold-colored satin ribbon with hand some bows. These inexpensive dra peries, extending from the lower floor to the attic, give the facade of a house a cheerful eiect.-Newc York Fashion Bazar.
