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

and the consequence is that their

come very religious, nor their feelings
for the gate owner very affectionate.

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

Our Manning Merchants.
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.

Thel~arion Editors on the Warpath.
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.
