Ge o. hsterta@mark andecrossed red lines onwil The Good Old Days are Here. We venture the assertion that since the first of January more actual cash has chang ed hands among the farmers of Clarendon than in any other year since the war. They started the new year determined to live economically and to work harder than ever, so that they could shake off the shackles of debt that have been a burden to them for so many years. There is hardly a day but that . e can fiUd a number of farmers in town buying goods for the cash, and iu talking with some of them we find that they feel more encour aged to enter in upon their year's work than they have before. Heretofore it was customary for a farmer to make his arrangements with a merchant for a certain amount in goods, and as so curitv to said merchant the farmer gave a lien upon his crop or a mortgage of his land, which forced him to buy his goods from the party he -made his arrangements with, whether he was satisfied or not. In other words, if he became dissatisfied he had to "grin and bear it." But now things are different. Arrangements have been made by a great many by which they can obtain tke money, and having the money in their pockets can buy from whom and where they please. The merchants being aware of such a condition of things are doing all in their power to keep the farmer from carrying the money away from here, and all kinds of in ducements are being offered, and the farmer is beginning to feel that his business is worth something. We were told last Saturday by a gentc man who has been in the habit of purchae ing his supplies elsewhere, that since he commenced to buy for cash he finds that he can buy in Manning as cheap as he can buy elsewhere, and as long as our merchants will allow him he will continue to buy at home. This party further says that the prospect for a good crop year was never brighter, and that his brother farmers are whistling and singing at their work in the fields. Determined to Lead. "To be or not to be," is a question well worth considering. To be lead ers in any line of business, men must first consider how much capital they have to do business with, and after settling that matter they must consid er how they can make the best invest ments, and at the same time do the most good. The Levi Brothers have not only considered these important questions, but have made practical illustrations of the fact that they have used their capital in the most advantageous ..manner to conduct a first-class busi ness in a first-class manner. Being 'thoroughly trained in the mercantile business they know all the needs of the purchasing public, and have gone to work and laid in an immense stock of spring goods, consisting of dIry goods, clothing, boots and shoes, lats, adies' and gents' furnishing goods, hardware, and groceries. These goods - they have purchased in such a manner that they propose to make themselves felt with the purchasing public. Noth 1 ing succeeds like success, and if thE - past is any indication of the future they will continue to offer induce - ments for patronage, and prove that they are second to none in the nmer cantile business. s The Levis are prepared and always s ready to furnish any amount of good! e at the very lowest prices, they being e aware of the fact that they not onlj have competitors,~ but in order fo: >f them to retain their leadership the: must undersell all competition. Thi: they propose to do, and are doing. Thi Levis especially invite the people c Clarendon to call on them in thei o immense establishment in Sumtei s. and inspect their large and1 varie g stock, and they promise that they wi e make it to the interest of their cus Le tomers to make their purchases wit i- them. Contracts are being made with th eLevi Brothers to furnish sub-unior re in this and Sumter counties, andi Sorder to fulfil these contracts the Ld have made their arrangements t ir handle all classes of goods from fire - hands, and by disposing of the gooc a at small profits they make large sale se and at the same time give their cu ta tomers the advantage of their clo h- purchases. People of Clarendo when you go to Sumter don't forg to visit the Levi Brothers, and we fe bassured that if good goods and poli rattention and low piices are induc oents you wvill find all you are lookir for at their store. s Getting Out of Debt. n The Cotton Plant says: "Some of thein, eli chants complain that business is dull, al onl give as an explanation of this unusual st: iry of things at this season the fact thatt -farmers are saving their money. This ugood for the farmers and will eventua prove to be goo~d for the merchants andt country generally. The farmers in cve section and community where the Alliar exists are making a noble effort to get out ple debt and in a condition to run their faru t a on a cash system, and the wisdom oft course cannot be too earnestly emphasiz :tThe Alliance has planted a new hope ini r-m- breasts of thousands of strugglinga td dispirited farmers, and the dawn of a bet not day is already seen.

DOWN WITH WHISKEY. rhe Citizens of Summerton Exhibit More Spinality and True Manhood than any other Part of the County-Whiskey 1 Shall not be Sold lieitly-Two Prose- v cutions Begun. ST-:ErITo, Feb. 17, 1890.-FAOr - aiy 2mes:-Knowing that it will meet your Ib tpprobation, from the many strong articles bat have appeared in your paper, against vhiskey, I report to you the actions of this ommunity, taken on Saturday last. On very short notice, the citizens were request ed to meet in Summerton, to take some ac ion against the illicit sale of whiskey, which is being carried on around us in de fance of the law and the people opposing it. On this call, about twenty-five names were presented, and they organized them selves into what might be called a "vigilance society," with the following resolutions: We, the citizens of Summerton and sur rounding country, feeling that the illicit c traffic in spirituous liquors is an evil which threatens the peace and welfare of every community in which it is practiced, and which is growing in its appalling influence every year, do offer this our solemn protest against the practice, and also our fixed and unalterable purpose to use all the moral in fluence we possess, and also all lawful means to suppress this most baneful traffic; and we do most heartily and earnestly ap peal to o:ir fellow-citizens of every commu nity to join with us in our efforts to remove this awful curse from our country. And we the undersigned do pledge our selves, as far as lies in our power, to bring to justice any and all persons selling the same. The Messrs. Briggs and Mr. A. W. Thames, near Silver station, were reported to the organization, and a commiitee of three was appointed to make affidavit against them inbehalf of the organization. Other prosecutions will be made later. Many of the colored citizens of this commu nity have been selling the article freely, and as soon as the evidence can be worked up against them, they too will De required to account for their deeds. Hoping to have your hearty co-operation in our plan and purpose. Yours, &c., 3EVnZR. A Nole from Mr. A. C. Briggs. SILVEU, S. C., Feb. 14, 1890. Mr. S. A. Nettles, Manning, S. C. Dear Sir: I see in the M.xNrso Truss of Feb. 12th you make this statement in refer ence to me: "Mr Ashley C. Briggs, of Silver, was ar rested at Silyer last week on a charge of selling whiskey without a U. S. license, and carried to Charleston, where a preliminary was held before a U. S. Commissioner. AIr. Briggs produced his U. S. license, and the case was dismissed." Not believing that you intended to do me an injnstice or assail my moral character as a gentleman, I hope you will as readily cor rect this statement, for I was ither arrested wr carried to Charleston through any pro ces ot law, neither did I produce any U. S. license. Will you please send me a copy of the correction by bearer. Respectfully yours, A. C. Bax(O:s. The above note was handed us one after noon last week. TnE TiMEs proposes to publish the news as it finds it, and the par agraph last week, in reference to Mr. Briggs's arrest, was based on the statements of a Iinumber of persons from Mr. Brigg's imme - diate neighborhood, current talk in this town, and the following paragraph in the Charleston T'orld: Ashley C. Briggs was brought down from Clarendon county yesterday, and appeared before Commissioner Smith at the custom Louse. charged with an infringement of the United States liquor revenue laws.
