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.

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.,

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. Aftei
a thorough investigation of his ease thE
