Owing to the absence of witnesses the ses against Pedro and Dick Meyers, who ere ca.ptured in Georgetown and brought xtk Thursday morning, were continued.

Boniham has been dking "military" with some of the report. rs, and he says that if something is not one to encourage the military in this State will die of "dry rot." We agree with the general in this matter. 'here is considerable indifference being ex ibited. This seems to be the case in this ammunity, and unless some substantial ncouragement is given, the military can be othing more nor less than an "organized Let there be a call made for a convention suggested by the adjutant genera], and erhaps some plan may be devised that will ave a tendency of creating new life in 5ie much needed institution. Take all the maller towns throughout the State, and it hard to keep up a military company. ost of the members are clerks, or otherwise nployed, and their employers do not feel nough interest in the very thing that they pect protection fromc to even allow theiz mployees off an hour earlier on drill ev nings, hence the lack of interest among the oung men themselves. Only a Farmer. Col. E. T. Stackhouse, President of the tate Alliance, was born in Marion District LOW county, near the place on which he now ves, 65 years ago. Be has been "only s armer" all his -life. He raises everything ecessary for the sustenance of man and east on his own place. He spends annu Ily ix dollars per acre for fertilizers, and or thirteen years has averaged 600 poundi if lint cotton per acre on his wages farit Ast year he gathered 179 bales of cotton rom 180 acres on his home farm. For thit een years the average yield of corn on bli -.-e fr. mo ha en fifty bushels per acre News from Silver. Sn.vEa, March 2.-Mr. F.&ior: This has been a slippery day for Silver-rain, sleet, and snow. A good day to chat with the editor. There can be no service in om church, preacher and people are kept in doors. There is rest for the weary; what matchless goodness ! The weather has changed several degrees. This morning has every appearance of winter, the most uncom fortable day of the present season. Saturday brought many people tc Silver, some hauling freight, some horse trading, others buying from oui merchants. It was the largest day for busi ness we have seen yet. Capt. R. F. Milligan has just returned from Charleston. His stock of goods is complete and daily arriv ing. The town looks business-like, while the merchants expect to do a heavy trade. I will forward you a more extended shingle from Capt. Milligan. The magic lantern exhibition on the night of Feb. 27 was well attended. It was held in Capt. Milligan's hall. We welcome all laudable enterprises. We have a picture man tenting on the fields, who seems to give entire satisfaction by changing your face from flesh to paper. The ladies of Silver are raising money to build a christian church. The colored peo ple are raising money to build a new church. Mr. W. A. F. Bobo, who has had his sale stables at Mr. Way's, has sold many Texas ponies this winter. Mr. Bobo has made many friends in this part of Clarendon. He has now returned to Texas where he expects to bunch his colts and return next winter with some as good horses as can be sold. His horses have given general satisfaction. Mrs. Clark and Mrs. Dr. Durham, two ladies from Greenville, S. C., paid Silver a visit last week, to buy lots. S. P. Fairey and L. N. Richbourg, farm ers at Silver, became so much infatuated with the good people of Manning, that they remained there all last week, courting. Oata crops look badly. They certainly present the right name, red rust proof. The cheap quotations for fertilizers has given our farmers the craze. From what I can learn quantities of it will be used. There is more vim among farmers than us ual. The Alliance is working miracles. Now, Mr. Editor, after a long time your correspondent from Panola has reached a conclusion: to stop chatting for newspapers. So I bid the editor of the Tmrs and its read ers an affectionate farewell. To3. 01 0 , , More News from Silver. SImvEa, March Ist, 1890. To FAitor The Manning Tmes:-There has been so much in the newspapers of late about Silver, some of it good, and, I'm sorry to say, some of it bad, that it has at last stimulated your correspondent to venture into public print, and try his hand at it. Our little (soon to be) town has been reg ularly laid off into streets, and the business lots located, as well as some beautiful build ing lots. If persons do as they say, there will be five or six large stores, a largehwork shop, a saw-mill, a large boarding house, and several private dwellings at Silver by next fall. A post office will be established, with Mr. A. C. Briggs as postmaster, on the 3rd of March, also a telegraph and an express of fice. The three Farmers' Alliances, namely, Calvary, Home Branch, and Silver, are now considering the advisability of establishing a large union warehouse at this poit. Silver is situated in the heart of one of the finest yellow pine regions in the county. Add to this the magnificent cotton lands that stretch for miles in every direction, Silver being the natural shipping point for a radius of six to eight miles around it, and there is nothing that can keep this place back, no, not even persecution, envy, or the ain hopes of others to build up other see tions and towns at the dowrnfall of this com munity. The people of Silver have too much brain, muscle, and grit to be hacked by "wide-awake clubs," newvspapers, or the foul breath of calumny. By the way, Mr. Editor, I have been cast ing about to see what profession to follow, for it will never do for me to continue farm ing within a mile and a half of this growing town. No, no. I must move into town and get at something more honorable, respecta ble, and something easier than farming, and let some one else carry on that menial oc upation. I have a great notion to be a lit le editor and run a little paper, to be called the Silver Gazeute. Oh ! how my heart swells and my pulse quickens when I conjure up in my imagination my little editorial office filled with books and periodicals and news papers and all these things and me the FEuitor sitting back in my big arm chair puffing away at a real havana filler cigar, with my big ide whiskers gently rustling in the breeze, and enjoying in dreamy leisure the greatness of my position. Oh ! howlI could then hide behind my incomprehensible and double-meaning editorials that have a door open at both ends, one to go in, and one to get out of. Yes, how I could take advantage of my important and exceptional position to fling it into fellows that I didn't like, and how I could puff up those fellows that I did like, and then again what a great opportuni ty I'd have to curry favor with these big rich fellows, while at the same time I'd make be lieve that I was running my little paper solely for the benefit, enlightenment, and as. -ancement of the "horny-handed sons of toil." Why you see, Mr. Editor, Ta never be at a loss for news, for I could just step out of my little office at any time, and stand around on the street corners, and in a half hour ITd have enough to fill my little paper, for it wouldn't matter much to mie whether anything was sworn to or not by men of -'veracity," and all I'd want would be to get it from "at least a half-dozen sources," and Td publish it and comment upon it in my edtsla!, and great scott how I'd chuckle in my sleeves to see the fiustration I'd kicked up among those fellows, and they all had to take it, for they couldn't get over the breast works at me. Of course it would make no difference to me how such publications in jured any man or set of men, either socially or in a business capacity. That wouldn't be my look out, provided "we should be ieve it our duty to the people to publish it, matters not whom it concerns. We should do so, even though we be held to account." One more point and then T'm through. You see an editor's chair would be the step ping stone to a political future, the possi blties of which would be untold. The fact is once I get started as editor Ill never stop short of congress or som e position of that sort, and not then until I get the last one of myfamaily connections in office. There is nothing like being an editor. In conclusion I will say that Silver is a quiet, orderly place, perfectly healthy, ex ellent water, and very fertile lands. It will be well for those seeking investments in lands or town lots to come up and take a look at this place before investing. There are some valuable farms around here that could be bought at reasonable figures. FA~n Pra. Foreston News. Fonas-roN, March 5.-I've tried for half an hour, Mr. Editor, to coin some phrase other than the stereotyped one of the average country correspondent, "There is no news in this section," but I'm compelled at last to take the old stand-by-there is none, literally. rm not posted, Mr. Editor, on the farm ing situation in this section, and don't even conjecture what the prospects for the coming Crop are. I'm one of the few living who does not imagine himself sent by the Al mighty to show people how to farm. But this I do know, the crops that are in the ground looked unusually well when I saw theli last. Mr. H. T. Avant, of Summerton, wa~s in town to-day. He believes in the future of Summerton. Mr. G. S.

The farmers of Sumter county met las Saturday, to elect delegates to the State con vention, to be held March 27th. The meet ing was decidedly opposed to the Shel manifesto, and the following resolutions, introduced by Col. J. J. Dargan, were adopted: Resolved, That in the great agitation ani organized movement of the agricultura classes in this county we recognize with cheering hope for the future a natural ani just resistance of the people to adverse class legislation, and that we shall do all in our power to stimulate and encourage, rather than allay, the indignant protest and earnest uprising against wrong and oppression among the farmers of South Carolina. Resolved, That we regard the farmers as possessed of thoroughly efficient agencies to discover and correct all abuses of their class in the Alliance and the Democratic party--the one supplying whatever is lack. ing in the other-a-d we shall not counten ance or approve any action that shall divert from or impair the strength of either of these agencies. Resolved, That class legislation, class an tagonism, class privileges, and inequalities are.glaring evils. That they are unwise in policy, undemocratic and unjust in princi ple, unAmerican and unchristian, and in seeking relief from such things against ourselves as farmers we know that we must come witir clean hands and do equity, if we expect equity. Resolved, That we see no good, but appre hend much harm, to come from the pro posed nomination of State officers by the farmers under the "Shell call." We, there fore, request such delegates as may Le sent from this county to oppose all the time the proposition to nominate, and, failing to defeat such purpose in others, that they quietly and respectfully withdraw from the body, that Sumter county may not appear to countenance or be any wise bound by such ill-advised action. The following were elected delegates to the convention: Col. J. H. Wilson, Capt. E. M. Cooper, Col. J. J. Dargan, R. I. Wil son, W. A. James, Jr., H. G. Shaw, 0. C. Scarborough, H. R. Thomas, D. E.

A Most Remarkable Duel. KzYsnR, W. VA., Feb. 24.-The new min ing town of Elkins, on ex-United States Senator Davis's new railroad, was the scene of a duel last night possessing some remark able phases. James Nee, a coal miner, and a carpenter named Archer, fast friends, went on a big drunk together Saturday after drawing their pay, and continued the spree over until Sunday. That evening they went to Mrs. Wise's saloon, where they had been frequent patrons during the carouse, and, getting into a dispute with the woman, drove her out of the house. They then proceeded to wreck the interior of the saloon, smashing glasses, windows and mirrors, and breaking the furniture. While thus engaged, Nee accidentally hit Archer and the two men quarreled and had a rough and tumble fight. This did not satisfy them and they agreed to fight a duel. There was but one revolver between them, and with drunken gravity they agreed that the pistol should be used turn about, the shots to be fired while the men stood at op posite ends of barroom. The choice for first shot fell to Areher, and Nee taking his place at the other end of the room, Archer blazed away. The bul let struck Nee in the head, ploughing a fur row along the scalp and causing a profuse hemorrhage. When Nee came to shoot he was blinded by blood and so nervous from the effects of the shot that he could not aim, the result was a miss, and Archer then took a second shot, but also missed, and handed over the revolver to Nee for a second shot. By this time a crowd had been attracted to the saloon, but no one had courage enough to enter. - The men refused to pay any at tention to calls to desist, and Nee fired at Archer, shooting him through the hand. He took the gun to Archer for a fifth shot, but before it could be fired the crowd rushed in, grabbed the revolver, and put a stop to the desperate proceedings. Neither of the wounds inflicted is at all serious. Well and Happy. I take pleasure in submitting the follow ing statement of facts that you may knnw the great benefit that has resulted from the use of your Specific in the case of my little daughter, now ten years of age. The child, when two years of age, had a severe attack of scarlet fever, which left her with a shat tered constitution. Among other evidences of impaired nutrition was what the doctors called softening of the bones, .In her fifth year she happened to a slight accident which resulted in the dislocation of the hip joint, and, from the irritation thus set up, terrible abscesses of the hip ensued. The abscesses, despite the best medical treatment that could be obtained, remained for three years, discharging continuously. At this time, through the influence of friends, I put her on your S. S. S. When this treat ment was commenced the abscess was very large, having six perforations, pus discharg. ing through them all. During this treatment several spiculm of bone came out, and by the time she had finished her fifth bottle the abscess had entirely healed, her appetite and general health had been restored; in short she was well and happy, and so cozr tinues.

All dealers sell It. Genuine Ihas trade marle a nd cre red linarwes omr.r Result of Our Inspection. It is with pleasure that we announce to the people of Clarendon the result of our recent examination of the tre mendous stock of spring goods just finished being opened at the establish ment of Moses Levi. It is always a pleasant sight to go into a store and see everything in proper place, the goods arranged so as to attract, clerks polite and anxious to give you their attention. Gratifying was it to us to hear Mr. Levi express his determina tion to convince the people that their going to other towns to make pur chases was a waste of time and a finan cial loss, as his purchases were made this season to such advantage that he can afford and will sell cheaper than any merchant in this or any other town. He invited us to inspect his im mense stock of dry goods. Such a variety would be hard to find in any country town. He has everything that can be found in the dry goods line. We saw a very pretty line of prints, satines, cheviots, batistes, nuns veilings, challies, serges, etc., also a large assortment of white goods, consisting of lawns, nainsooks, mus lins, cambrics, mulls, piques, etc. He then called our attention to his dress trimmings, embroideries, laces, ruchings, and other ladies' wear, and we must say that in our judgment ladies of the most fastidious tastes can be pleased with this assortment. Then we took a look at his stock of novelties, such as collars, cuffs, hand kerchiefs. hosiery, gloves, purses, etc., and found them very neat and pretty. Next we were shown a very large pile of longeloths and shirtings, all brands and grades, which he proposes to sell at such low prices that other merchants will be surprised. We next went into the clothing and cloth department and was shown well made clothing cut in the very latest styles and of the nicest patterns, his satin finish coats are simply elegant. He can fit the largest man or the smallest boy, he can suit the nobby young man or the sedate old man, and if persons are in search of cloth they can find a fine assortment right here. Mr. Levi with his usual keen per ception noticed that we were being pleased with the result of our exam ination, and knowing that the time to tickle one's fancy is when they are in a humor to be tickled, he requested us to walk up-stairs and see his hat stock. This stock was certainly se lected with much care and great taste. We then wended our way back down stairs to see the stock that he says he bad manufactured especially for his trade, and he proposes tc convince the people of this county that Manning can keep a good stock of shoes. Mr. Le vi has on hand the finest and best stock of shoes ever offered in this town. There need be no trouble for a lady, gentleman, or child to be suited when in want of a good shoe. He says he has made up his mind that the notion which people have that a good shoe cannot be found in this town must be knocked up, and there is no other way to accomplish this result than to sell a good shoe for little money, and this he is prepared to do. We were about to take our depart ure from this scene of pleasant sights when he called our attention to his grocery department, but we only had time to make a hurried examination when we reached this department. With his usual generous politeness he went to his cigar case and invited usi to smoke one of his celebrated Havana filled "ambassador" cigars, which was certainly delightful. We were shown a pile of meats that had just arrived from the west, containing about 25, 000 pounds, also 800 barrels of assort ed grades of flour, besides coffees, sugars, rice, lard, butter, in fact every-| thing that is sold in a first-class gro cery establishment. Our time being up we turned to go when Mr. Levi requested us to say to the people of Clarendon that if they will come to him with the cash he will guarantee to sell to them cheaper than any merchant in Manning or Sumter. Also that he is prepared to compete with Charleston, and if they will come with their city bills, he will not only duplicate the goods, but will try to save money for them. A Horror In Hampton. YAR~vIL.E, HAMroN CoUST, Feb. 26. The killing of Bob Pope and his little son has caused no little excitement. The particulars, as far as I can gather up to the present, develop a deed unequalled in the annals of the Police Gazette. Pope's death is not regretted from what I can lear:: from those who have long known of his character and doings, but the brutal and hideous murder of his little son, osten sibly to hide the crime, is a deed that should justly consign its perpetrators to the most summary punishment. The father was shot with buckshot and afterwards shot through the head with a pistol ball, and his throat "'t. From the indications around the scene of .he tragedy the boy was attempting to run off and was pursued and brought back near the body of his dead father and thrown down and his throat cut to the bone. There was no other mark of violence about his Ter ies to the murder are supposed to be known. For a safe and certain remedy for fever and agne, use Dr. J. H. McLean's chills and fe ver cure; it is warranted to cure. The most delicate constitution can safely use Dr. 3. H. McLean's tar wine lung bal sam. It is a sure remedy for coughs, loss of voice, and all throat and lung troubles. Faults of digestion cause disorders of the liver and the whole system becomes derang ed. Dr. J. H. McLean's Sarsaparilla perfects the process of digestion and assimilation, and thus makes pure blood. Even the most vigorous and hearty people have at times a feeling of weariness and las situde. To dispel this feeling take Dr. J. H. McLean's Sarsaparilla; it will impart vigor and vitality. No need to take those big cathartic pills; one of Dr. J. H. McLean's liver and kidney pillets is quite sufficient and more agreeable. Pimples. blotches, scaly skin, ugly spots sores and ulcers, abscesses and tumors, un, healthy discharges,- such as catarrh, eczema, ringworm, and other forms of skin diseases, are symptoms of blood impurity. Take Dr. J. H. McLean's Sarsaparilla. The Game Law. The following is the game Ilaw of South Carolina as amended by the legislature in 1888, which is published for the benefit of all concerne d: "'Sec. 1694.
