If so call on J. G. Dinkins & Co. and be fitted with a pair of Aqua-Crystal spectacles or eye glasses. We would suggest that the town council pass an ordinance prohlibiting gates to be hung so as to swing out upon the sidewalks. It is very often the case that gates are left open, and people walking in the dark receive painful hurts by running into them and the consequence is that their thloughts about that time do not be come very religious, nor their feelings for the gate owner very affectionate. St. Valentine's Day next triday. 'Valentines for sale at Foreston Drug Store. Make your tax returns. Only one week longer.

The county commissioners adjourn ed to day, after a three days' session, during which they paid out about $2,500. They paid the county bonds in full. They expect to pay all claims in full except for bridges and poor. The members of the legislature neg lected to have a levy made for lunacy claims, and these will also not be paid. All organized Sunday-schools are requested to elect delegates to attend a meeting to be held in the Presby terian church in this place, Saturday, the 22d of February.

Ready, a white man who was charged with the brutal killing of a colored prisoner in Barnwell county recently, has been arrested in Florida by Chief of Police Twiggs, of Augusta.

The Manning Guards will have a drill meeting Monday evening, the 23rd inst. Capt. Levi desires some time during the month of June to have a public prize drill, the proceeds to go to some charitable object. As an inducement for the boys to turn out and drill he has offered the follow ing prizes: $5 in gold for the best drilled man; $2.50 in gold for the second best; and a box of cigars for the third. Boys, turn out and drill. At the last meeting the company lack ed one of having enough to meet the necessary requirements of the law. Don't let this happen again. In our last issue we threw out a suggestion to the board of county commissioners that it would be wise for them not to allow themselves to be taken by surprise in case the World's Fair committee desired the courtE house square for a site upon which they could hold said fair. And our commissioners being ever ready to receive valuable suggestions have been in session ever since Mohday morning hard at work paying out the various sums of money that the coun ty was owing. And by the Way we were told this morning that they had seen our suggestion to them to have the court house painted and the fence repaired, and that if there was any money left after paying the debts they would expend same in carrying out our suggestion. His Speech to the Jury. At the recent term of court in Florence, a negro boy on trial for stealing, and who had no lawyer to defend him, was told by the judge the law gave him the right to speak in his own behalf, and that if he desired he could make a speech to the jury. The boy got up, made an awkward bow, and said: "Jump, jump, jump! Six little rabbits went out to run; Up hill, down hill, oh, such fun!" The entire court house was convulsed with laughter, but the jury found the boy guilty all the same. Summerton News. Somrearox, Feb. 7.--The Wilson and Summerton railroad has been completed as far as the Charleston, Sumter, and Northern railroad. The crossing was laid Tuesday. and it is likely that the road will be raptdly constructed in the direction of Panola. A well has recently been sunk just behind the store of Lanhami & Brock, for the use of the public. On the night of the 5th inst., Mr. Charles Cobia's residence was the scene of hymen eal. restivities. Mr. L. E. Edwvards and Miss Lla Cobia were joined together by Rev. E. D. Wells in that state of holy wedlock which no man (in this State) can put asunder. Rev. E. D. Wells, pastor of the Baptist church, has recently received a call to the pastorate of the Baptist church in Manning. After considering the matter, he has declin ed to accept the call. Dr. Burgess's new drug store, which is next door to the store of Mr. S. R1. Cole, will be completed in the course of a week. It will add much to the appearance of the town. Dr. J. H.

Fior:-Please allow us space to say that the next regular meeting of the Union: Literary Club will be the 1-4th inst., which is next Friday night. That will also be St. Valentine's day, so look out for the valen tines, ye young folks. We would state for the special convenience of the old folks (as well as the young folks) who wish not only' to patronize a good caiuse, but to spend a vry pleasant evening, that the exercises* will begin promptly at 8 o'clock p. M., in. stead of about 10 r. xr. as heretofore. The! program bids fair to be a good one. There is music in the air we hear, and we hope- to; have a good share. B. Wilsons, Feb. 10, 1890. Keep your blood pure and you will not; have rheumatism. Hood's Sarsaparilla puri ties the blood, and tones the whole system. Cows. Wanted, a cow, one that will give about' eight quarts a day.

Complaints are being made by some that the newspapers of this town do not have enough to say for the interests of Manning. To those we will say that as far as we are concerned they are mistaken, and we have only to refer to almost any issue of the MAN. SiNG TIMEs in order to refute this charge. We are constantly drumming it into our readers that Manning is a fine town, with a good class of merchants, a -bank, school, dime savings institution, and a building an6z loan association, and we do not propose to stop at this. We are always anxious to do something for our town. it is our wish and desire to patronize and encourage home industries. We fel that it is to our inter est to do so. But how about these people that are com plaining? Do they expect us to go out upon the housetops and proclaim that they are this and that? We are running a news paper, and we are not running it simply for love. We expect to live from our labors, and if some of these cross-grained, pull back merchants will step up and give us the patronage they should give us, then perhaps they would not complain of our writing up merchants that do business in other towns Is there a town in South Carolina where the merchants advertise as little as they do in Manning? We will answer the question by saying )o, and yet some of them have the cheek to say that the newspapers are no good because they don't say enough for the interests of the town. Gentlemen, the MANixo Ti.s will take pleasure in placing before its many readers the different lines of goods that you are handling in the most attractive manner and at the lowest rates, but if you expect us to give you a free ride you will be mistaken, as the foundation of this paper is not built that way. We cannot afford, nor will we advertise merchants free, and the newspa per that attempts to do so will meet M'Ginty's fate and fall to the bottom of the journalistic sea "dressed in its best Sunday clothes." Now don't charge us with not doing any thing for the town, but reproach yourselves for not doing something for us, and turn over a new leaf by giving our readers in all sections of the county a chance to know that you have bought spring goods and are not ashamed to advertise them. 0 merchant, in thine hours of c e e, If on this paper you should c c c, Take our advice, and now be y y y, Go straightway out and advert i i i, You'll find the project of some u u u, Neglect can ofter no ex q q q, Be wise at once, prolong your d a a a, A silent business soon d k k k. News from Panola. PAxonA, Feb. 10.-The topic of conversa tion is the weather. Did you ever experi ence such a winter? A few days ago hot and sultry; to-day slecting. It is predicted by one of our weather prophets that the world is coming to an end. From this, god Lord, deliver us. We are too wicked, un prepared for such an awful catastrophe. What would become of this portion of Clar endon if this prediction prove true ? Let the brethren speak out, give their religions experience personally, are we all rea*dy lor the judgement day? What a time for per sonal examination! .This is the time to scrutinize our iniquities. We are not to know the day nor the hour when the son of man cometh. But these reflections may not suit the readers of the TDIES, and may not accord with the dispositions of men who have no time to attend to these things. Therefore, what of Panola news ? Our farmers are making headway. The dog barks, the cat mews, the boy cries, the plow runspthe machinery whistles, smoothly the Alliance wheel rolls within a wheel. We predict smoother waters for our p~eople. Capt. Thos, Wilson is Clarendon's adopted son, the right man in the right place. His Railroad will reach its destination this week. All honor to such men. Let the people patronize his road, and so help a man whose interest is linked with ours. We have had enough of Northern enterprise. Robert Postell, a gentleman of color, be came so high stranded yesterday that he thought the world was made of green cheese. He got into a difficulty with two other negroes. and was severely cut. The first quarterly conference for Santee circuit was held on the 8th and 9th at St. Pauls church. Reports were good from the entire circuit. Professor R. E. Mood, of the Summerton Academy, was set apart for the holy ministry. Sunday was an unusually cold day, but a fine congregation met to hear Mr. Beasley, the P. E. It is useless for me to say his effort was in keeping wvith the man. I shall shortly take a long ride to Salem, to assist in advising upon some county bus iness, of which you shall have full particu lars in due time. More anon. ToM. Will of John WV. Wells Probated. Saturday, the 8th inst., a paper writing purporting to be the last wvill and testament of John W. Wells, deceased, was presented to tLe Judge of Probate, and after being du ly proven common form was admitted to probate. ~e will was executed on the 2nd day of January 1875, and the legatees under the will are three cdlored persons, viz: Amelia Gaillard, Nathan Wells, and Edwin Wells. Amelia Gaillard pre-deceased the testator, who is said to be the father of the surviving' legatees, she being their mother, and hav ing lived with the testator for over thirty years. With the existing circumstances Nathan and Edwvin become the sole legatees under this will. The property devised consists of three hundred and fifteen acres of land known as the "Richardson place," very highly im-1 proved and said to be wvorth fully twenty dollars per acre. This wvill also provides that the personal property on the devised land, such as horses, mules, cows, waos carts, &c., should go to these boys. 'This is valuable property being lands that haveI been worked up to a veiy high state of cul tivation, and located in a section of the county that is rapidly growing, and sonme think that the relatives of the testator will not let this property go without a .struggle in law. Mr. Wells had quite a number of relatives who are entitled to a distributive share in his undevised estate, and unless the rest ot the properly that is left and not imntioned in the will be sufficient to pay the liabilities of the estate and leave something for them, theie is every reason to think that they will be dissatistied and a legal battle will b'e commenced. Mr. Wells was a bachelor and a successful planter, and in his life-time was considered quite a wealthy man. ite had the reputa tion of always having 2noney on hand and in the hands of his fatctor, but now since his death it turns out that he wa.s owing a great many accounts, and his estate is heavily in volved. It is estimated by some that are in a position to know that it will take all of the thousand dollars for which his life was in sured, together with his undcvised property, to pay out his indebtedness. Col. John 0. Brock has qualified as exec utor of the will, and has applied for letters of administration for that part of the estate How to Get There. When honest competition shows itself in this section of the State, whether in Manning, Suinter, or else where, there is no man that is more delighted thereby thadi Moses Levi. It makes him feel as though he had something to contend for and some thing to accomplish. The entire mercantile system has changed, and no :ore is it necessary for a merchant to add a large percent age to his goods in order to iiiake up for possible losses. The day has passed when the purchaser would purchase anything and everything as long as he could buy it on a credit. All this has changed, and the purchas ing public are now buying largely for cash. Since the people have changed their mode of (oing business it has caused a great deal of competition among merchants, each one doing all in his power to get control of the trade. ihis is business, right, honest, and fair, and there is only one way of succeeding, and that is to make pur chases from first hands in such a maLner that you can move along with the inerchants-that are striving to ac complish the same result. Moses Levi realizing this changed conditioa of affairs, and knowing that our farmers are purchasing their goods for the cash, has prepared himself ac cordingly. He has placed upon his counters and shelves the largest and best stock of spring goods, such as dress goods, ginghams, white goods, sateens, lawns, prints, latest novelties in neck wear, in fact the nicest line of ladies' novelties ever opened in this place. He now has and is daily re ceiving the neatest and best lot of ladies', gentlemen's, and children's shoes, also men's, youths', and boys' clothing from the best manufacturere in the United States. His gents' fur nishing goods department was never more complete, and his hardware and grocery departments will compare with any first-class establishment'in South Carolina. Mr. Levi was forced to buy this vast amount of spring goods, because his winter stock had run down to such an extent that as a matter of business he was compelled to fill-up. This gave him an excellent advantage over a great many competitors, most of whom could not purchase in large quantities this spring on account of having their sle:ves filled up with the undisposed stock of last winter. Consequently at Levi's mammoth establishment will be found a brand-new clean spring stock, and owing to the tight times among the manufacturers at the North it gave Mr. Levi an opportunity of buying cheaper than he has ever bought before, and he says that he can convince any lady or gentleman that he will not only sell to-them cheaper than they have ever purchased before, but will guarantee them lower prices than any merchant in this or any other town.

The two 31arion papers for several weeks have been engaged in a controversy, which finally degenerated into personal abuse. Last Tuesday night W. J. McKerall and -Junius H-. Evans, the two editors of the Marion star, went to the office of P. B. Hamer, the edtor of the Marion Index, and having called him to the door, jerked him out, and beat him iisensible, in which con dition they left him. The controversy grew out of town elections, in which it was charged thit the .;i, editors were leaning towards Radicalism. It will be remembered by our readcrs that about two years ago a white man by the name of Evans. who was one of the managers of the town election, tampered with the votes in such a manner as to entirely change the result. He counted in W. J. McKerall as a warden of the town. The fraudulent change, however, was dis. covered in time to be corrected, but, as well as we recollect, nothing was donb in the way of punishment. This man Evans is a brother of one of the editors of the Star. After this night attack last week, a strong petition from the citizens of Marion was sent to the Governor, asking that Mr. Jun ins H. Evans, who was also a trial justice in the town of Marion, be removed from the office of trial justice. The Governor took prompt action in the matter, and removed Mr. Eyans.
