The carpenters in Manning cannot be of much force, as we have for some time been trying to get a bid for mov-. irg a small dwelling house, and cannot get any one to bid on it. We reckon we will have to go to Sumter, Silver, or Summerton. One of the leading merchants of the city of Sumter, spent some time recently in the city of Washington studying the fashions in order that, he could supply his trade with the very latest styles. He says that he intends going back in June to see if there are any changes. Proceedings have been commenced in the office of the judge of probate ofj this county, to contest the alleged last will and testament of the late John W. Wells. This case will be of considerable interest as there will be questions of great importance to de cide and valuable property is in volved. The parties making the bids to build the bridges across -Sammy Swamp having failed to comply with the terms, the county commissioners again advertise for new bids. It would be a good idea, where the parties bid ding are not responsible, to have them give bond immediately for the fulfill ment of their bids. Ross Young, a colored man in the employ of the Cypress Lumber Com pany, was drowned in a creek in San tee swamp, near "Hickory Hill," in this county last Saturday. The body vas recovered Monday morning, and Coroner Rowe, upon the receipt of a telegram, went to the place and held the inquest. The testimony showed that Young with several others at tempted to cross the creek in a small boat, when from some cause the boat sank. The rest of the party reached land safely. The deceased when found was lying on his back in about six feet of water. The jury rendered a verdict of accidental drowning. Mr. Hector Ard, of Sammy Swamp, has in several respects a remarkable; history. In the first place he is only thirty-six years old, yet he has two grand children, the oldest being near y four years old. Mr. Ard was mar ried before he was fourteen years off age. Mr. Ard's father was married twice and was the father of twenty-.. one children, eleven of whom by his first wife were boys and nine of them served irn the Confederate army. An other very remarkable thing about Mr. Hector Ard is that though he has large family of children, yet lie has ever subscribed to a county paper. t is difficult to conceive howv a man an so isolate himself from. the vorld's doings, for we presume Mr.;y Ard has too much honor and self-re spect to borrow papers to read, as not' o subscribe and pay for a p'tper dur ing a married life of twenty years. George Peterson, a colored section and on the Wilson & Summerton Railroad, was run over by a train on that road last Friday, and instantly killed. A heavily loaded train was trying to climb a steep grade two miles from Wilsons, when it was found necessary to divide the train. Some of the rear cars were uncoupled, and: the brakes not being strong enough, the cars began running backward, :own the grade. Georga Peterson V and another negro were on a hand ar behind the train, and instead of taking their car off the track and thus avoiding any possible dauger, they took the chances. As the train of cars~ ame upon them, George attempted to jump upon the rear platform of the pproaching coach, but missing his' old to the railing he fell underneath the car. His head was-severed from his body, one arm was crushed the entire length, and his body was drag ged a short distance. Coroner Rowe was telegraphed for and held the in :uest. The other negro remained on the hand car, and was uninjured. The Sleeping Negre Preacher. AUGUSTA, March 15.-Major Perry, the Fairfield South Carolina negro preacher, who preaches while in a trance or sleep, was exhibited in Augusta to-night at the Opera House, in the presence of Drs. Ford, Dugas, and Wright. The negro is a wonder and his actions baffled the minds of the most scientific men of Augusta. Major Perry before falling into a trance prayed to God, and afterwards went to sleep on a cot. In. fifteen minutes he fell asleep, and after a few groans he commenced preaching on the 29th Psalm. He sung several songs and then delivered a coherent sermon, which sur prised and bewildered the large audience. The doctors are satisfied that Major Perry is no humbug, and at the same time no wonder, and term what he passes through as what is known as hypnotism, or what is more famiharly called mesmerism. The negro after arousing is unawares of what has transpired, and he is unable to account for his strange emotions. Major Perry is an ignorant negro, and his wife to-night said he had been preaching for the past nine years, and is perfectly unconscious of what transpires during his sleep. Dr. Dugas quently would die soon. Major Perry will doubtless be exhibited throughout the United States. One bottle -Johnson's Chill and Fever. Tonic guaranteed to cure and prevent the eturn of fever.

The "said appeal' is squarely into the supriene court. which flt appears from the iotice given and the order on file in the Clerk's oilce; and if the prisoner's rehtives pay the attorney's fee inside of twenty days the case will be Irinted and argued at Col umbia in Ma'. The strength of the points taken on motion after sentence was passed, may be measured, in the Judge's estimation, by the size of the bond required for the re lease of a prisoner under one year's sen tence in the penitentiary, namely, only $:200. It was because Primus English failed to give this bond. which his relatives could or should have provided for him, that he wias transferred to the penitentiary, and not be- 1 cause his attorney neglected to perfect his appeal.

HicKory GnovE, Mar. 10.- TIlo' The Mtooing; 'hin: I see in your last issue a statement of' the game law, as tamended by by the last Lrgislature. A good law it is, but not a word is said about the habit of putting out poison for birds, which we think is much worse than shooting or trap ping. We hope the next Le-gislature will take some action to stop this poisoning of birds. When poison is put out many it nocent birds come in contact w;ith it and are destroyed, which should not be done. i When poison is put out in corn, or grits as is commonly the case, any und every bird will eat it from the sparrow to the crow, so the innocent are destroyed as well as the guilty. I believe that it is admitted by all intelligent farmers that worm-eating birds are indispensable on the farm, and vet we find farimers who seem to.be determined to destroy the last one. We think when we I hear so much complaint about wheat and oats being destroyed- by insects it is time t for the farmer to begin to look about for the remedr. The tarmers in this section seem to be well up with their work. A good many. are ready to plant corn this week, but owing to the cold snlp we have had for a few days I doubt if there will be much corn planated before another we-k. C. F. R. Tribute of Respect.

Let's see if we cani t picture a f'ello-,v in that predicament. lie is a pairt and pairce'l of humanity, aet' holds nothing in coimmon with it. He is in the world and yet imt a part of it-. How empity everything seems. Everybody lie mecets seemis to look r'ight into his pockets and discover the horrible truth, no mioney. T ihe commnoniest mortal with a hiome and oc cupation becomes a prince of peace and plenty in his eyes. Anid then the ever ocurring, never answered, eternally harass-. ing question that is constantly forcing itself upon himi in a thousand different shapes, I "What shall I do?" lie truly feels howI small, petty, and insignificant a thing man is without money.

How he hates his fellow man. MIan is not his fellow man. He is a I beira belonging to altogether a different sphere. Thiere is no fellowship about it. Indeed, he is not far from desperate deeds. The step from poverty to crime is a short one, if pover'ty itsef be not a crime. A man without money feels an ownership in every one else's proj~erty- an ownership wvhere t might becomes the agent of possession, and perhaps it is more a hick of opportuni ty than inclination that keeps him from becoming a criminial. TIhen the tramnen- 1 dons vows, ''If I can only get out of this t 'tx; if I can only get foothold once more." T1hie vices he intends to shun: the economy he wvill practice; the practical and substan tial syinpathy' he wvould have for all forlorn S mortals in his presenit predicamuent. The virtues of industry. perseverance, and pru-r denc he would religiously follow. ]3ah! "W~hen the devil was sick, the devil at sainit would be, When the devil got well, the devil a. saint wvas he." But perhapils hx: has beeft broke more than once; several timies may be. Carelessness anid apeculiar faculty for getting rid of' money' has reduced him to the predicamient frequently.

Seldom is it that we get the chance o leave town, not because wve do not ike a change, but because we do not alwas have the change to go with. ast Friday by a tight squeeze we nanaged to gather together enougl noney to paly our fare to the city o: umter. On arriving in this city we vere struck with the signs of thrift .nd energy which confronted us'n very turn. We also wondered at the umber of Clarendon people that ere there, thinking perhaups it was a nere accident. On ouir way up fron he depot we dropped into th~e store f the Levi Brothersf and there wec ound Clarendonians again busily en ~aged in muaking purcbases of spring ~oods. It is not surprising when one hinks of it, that these gentlemen do large business with the people o~ his county, because, first, they were orn and ireared among them. ThE >eople know them and feel that they vill be treated right. Another reason s that they have a great advantage >nver a majority of mercharts in the vay of having "not only an unlimited redit, but a cash capital sufficient to ake advantage of alt bargains thai re forced on the mar-ket. Our readers wvill remember that ome time ago we informed thiem of he large commercial deal that these rentlemen were engaged in and their eing alway-s on the lookout fom pecial bargains to ofi'er the trade. We took occasion to express our ~ratification at seeing them doing a ood business, when they took us in hage and showed us some of their ate unrchases, which they made tc lrawv the buying public, and we were :ompelled to admit that they showed is as cheap and as pretty a line 01 Iress goods, such as challies, miuslins, -atines, cheviots, batistes, ginghams, rints, in fact everything in the dress ~oods line, as we ever saw. They rave a beautiful stock of white goods onsisting of lawns, nainsooks, check d 'l ~"-A mnuslins, and piques. hen we looked at magnifeent se ction of American and min ' roideries, laces, lace curtains, igings, and insertions, which are of ered at surpr-isingly low Iigures. We never have seen fancy goods so vell assor-ted and as cheap. T1heir t of ribbons are simply beautiful, nd they w~ill sell them chieaperi to heir trade than ziost lnerc-hauts can et them at wvholesale. In fact they laimn that they- can and will sell cheap r than any house in the State, and rmn the prce they made us on sev ra articles we are inclined to be ieve that they wvill be hard to heat. We went all over their immense es ablisment, and at every turn we cere shmownm hartigains. Shoes of ev style and shape were being open i, and the Levi Brnothers told us hat they are now hanving all their tok of shoes mnanufactred by pecial contract and only by thnemost eliable manufacturers, and knowing comn years of practical exper'ience hat the shoe stock is very important hey ar mexedngle cnreful, and will J.

They have the nobbiest hats we have seen this season. The styles are the very latest. We can safely say that the clothing counters of the Levi Brothers will, compare favorably with the counters of the finest clothing stores in South Carolina, and they are selling their. clothing at very low figuies. Their grocery department is sup .plied with the choicest of family and plautation groceries. They get all, of their heavy goods direct from the West in bulk and nothing less than car load lots, saving the additional ex pense of packing, sacking, and boxing. They take advantage of every oppor tunity to save expense, so that they can give their customers the benefit. We were much pleased with our visit and appreciated the kind ind courte ous attention shown us by the Levi Brothers and their polite and gentle menly salesmen, but then the people of this county know the Levis, and it is useless for us to tell them that Clarendon people will be made to feel at home in their store.
