Manning Alliance met Saturday and elected the following delegates to the County Alhance: B. F. Ridgill, R. F. Rlidgeway, W. J. Rollinson, T. G. June, E. M. Hodge, and W. T. Touch berry. Fresh and .genuine garden seeds at Din kins & Co.'s drug store. We were passing the bank yester day and saw a beautiful calla lily in the window. Isn't it nice to have a friend in the country, and yet people1 will say that Jordan is a hard road to travel. Do your eyes need help ? If so call on J. G. Dinkisis & Co. and be fitted with a pair of Aqua-Crystal spectacles or eye glasses. Mr. H. B. Tindal was in town Sat urday. He says he has the finest two weeks-old boy in the county. Wait, friend, until you have to provide for a half dozen more, and then you won't crow so loud. Highest New York prices paid for all kinds of fars and hides (otter, fox, coon, mink) at M. Kalisky's. The township boards of equaliza tion have been raising some of the retnins considerably. The Auditor is busy sending notices to those par ties, whose returns have been raised, informing them that if they so desire they may appear before the county board, April 7th, next, to show cause why their assessment should not be raised. Fresh lot of Garden Seed, all kinds, just received at Dr. Nettles's Drug Store, at For eston. A little boy attending one of the schools in town was requested the other day by the teacher to bring some water for the school to drink. He very politely complied with the request, and after teacher and pupils had quenched their thirst, the teach er said to the little boy: "Who as sisted you n drawing the water ?" "Nobodly, ma'am, I just dipped it up out of the horse trough." Just received from New York full line of epring millinery. Miss Rlichardson, Sum neteton. -Wiggins predicted tihe storm we ad last Saturday, but he has predict ed so often and failed that very few people had any confidence in him. Our solicitor, however, feared that, in case the storm should come, a moustache of the immensity of the one that he was carrying would be a dangerous appendage for a cyclone to strike, and with his usual thoughtful ness had his facial ornament shaved off just in time. M. Levi has a counter filled with rem nants of dry goods, which he will sell re gardless of cost. Ladies are specially in vited to call and examine them. A few days ago a little red-haired boy of this town came running up to his father and said: "Papa, my teach er gave me a first grade certificate to day: please, sir, give me a nickle for some candy." The gentleman feeling gratified at the result of his offspring's progress with his studies gave the lit tle fellow the nickel without looking at the paper just handed him. In a few minutes he looked at what he sup posed to be a certificate, and amusing it was to see the smile leave his coun tenace when he discovered the paper to be a bill for tuition, but by this time the little hopeful was enjoyimg his candy. A gentleman who hap pened to witness this little joke, re ,narked: "That boy is a chip off of the old block, and I'll bet an extra nickel that you will get your nickle bak by beating Kalisky out of one of his 'Royal Wreath' cigars beforo the day is out." M. Kalisky has just received 500 lbs. of Armour hams, which he will guarantee and ell at 8 cts. per lb. Also a fresh lot of Bo Read advertisement of sale of per sonalty by Probate Judge. We sl.all publish next week an in teresting article on canning fruit. The Santee river is in abodt the same condition as reported last week. Dues to the Y. M. Building and Loan Association must be paid next Tuesday, April 1st. The sheriff has received from the treasurer for ccllection 528 tax execu tions. Look out, delinquents! A fire got out on Mr. B. A. Walker's place during the storm last Saturday, and several cords of wood I were burned. Mr. B. A. Weinberg, the aged father of Mr. Aaron Weinberg, of this place, died last night at Darlington in the 92nd year of his age. Palmetto Alliance met on last Fri day and elected J. J. Conyers, S. E. Ingram, and A. H. D. Chandler dele gates to the County Alliance. John S. Wilson, Esq., has been elected chancellor commander, K. of P., to fill the unexpired term caused by the death of Mr. W. J. Clark. Sammy Swamp Alliance meets Sat urday afternoon at 2 o'clock for the purpose of electing delegates to the County Alliance and other business. Just about now the court house of ficials are busily engaged in wonder ing how much longer the terrible pressure of nothing to do is going to last. Home Branch Alliance met last Saturday, and elected C. R. F. Baker, T. A. Bradham, W. H. Bradham, and A. P. Hill delegates to the county al liance. The storm throughout the State last Saturday was very severe, and in ad dition to a considerable loss of prop erty, several lives were lost. No spec ial damage was done in this county, as far as we have heard. Mr. Bennie Cobia, near Davis, made a narrow escape last week from a large hound that had hydrophobia. Mr. Cobia met the hound in the road, but managed to avoid him. His dog, how ever, was bitten. The hound was killed near Fulton. The authorities at Columbia have commenced the disbnrsement of the pension fund, and although no checks have been sent to this county as yet, they are expected to arrive in a few days. Each pensioner will receive a check for $12.61. Mr. D. G. Shorter, one of the old landmarks of this county, had his cotton house robbed of two bales of cotton. It is not known just when the robbery was committed, as it was only found out a few days ago. It would be a good thing if the thief could be caught. Mr. J. Elbert Davis, out county business agent, went to Charleston Monday night to push up his orders with the guano manufacturers. He returned this morning, and says that he caused several car loads of guano to be shipped at once, and thinks that by this time they have arrived at their destination, and he has the promise of an immediate shipment of the balance of his orders. The Quarterly Conference of the Methodist church was held last Satur day. Rev. J. S. Beasley, presiding elder, was present and preached Sat urday and twice Sunday. The report of the stewards showed that the church was well up in financial mat ters. The delegates elected to the District Conference, to be held ~in this place next July, are: J. W. Mc Leod and J. F. Rhame, and S. A. Nettles, ex officio; the alternates are P. G. Benbow and W. G. King. Trial Justice Benbow has been en gaged to-day in hearing a case enti fed Newman & Mims against R B. Garland for the sum of fifty-three dollars for one wagon sold by W. M. Mayes, agent. It appears that Mayes sold the wagon to Garland, and col lected $25 as part payment on same, after having been requested by New man not to pay Mayes any money, as the wagon belonged to Newman & Mims, and not Mayes. The defend ant claimed that after waiting about three weeks for Newman & Mims to serve some legal process on him stop ping the money in his hands, and not receiving any such process he paid at Mayes's request the sum of $25. The plaintiffs claim that the defendant did wrong in paying Mayes, and sued the defendant for the whole amount agreed upon for the sale of the wagon.. After argument by J. F. Rhame, Esq., for the defendant, and J. T. Green, Esq., of the Sumter bar, for plaintiffs, the jury returned a verdict of $28 for plaintiffs. The Town Council. As the time approaches for the election of a new town council we hear the question asked, "Who are going to be the members of the new council ?" This question is well worth considering, and it behooves the citizens of Manning to look about them for the proper men to fill the municipal offices, and not wait until the election has been held and the oficeers in stalled, before the "kicking" exercises are resorted to. If you do not take enough in terest in the affairs of your town to speak out before the election, then hold your peace ater the election. It has been suggested on the streets that a public me.ting be called for the purpose of discussag men and objects. It has also been said that there is no necessity for a meeting, but let the candidates go into the elecion in a sort of "helter skelter" way, and the best men 'will win. It is for the citizens to say whether they are indifferent or not. The position of Intendant or Warden is not a very desirable one, and very few like losing the time from their private business to devote to the publi. interests, yet at the same time we are confident that there are some who have the welfare of the town at heart, and wonld willingly serve on the, council if they saw a disposition on the part of the people themselves that their services were wanted. Such men, however, are not going to allow their names to be used in a scramble race, nor are they going to say' "nominate me," but if the people who should be interested in this matter want them to serve and will indicate it in a prop er manner we feel satisfied that these men wil not turn a deaf ear to the call of their fellow citizens. To Live eon the Old Man. "I understand young Briefiess is about to: marry the daughter of old Bonds, the mill ionaire." "Yes, so I am told." "Will he give up the law business?" "Yes; he will give up the law business and go into the son-in-law business. "--Low News from Silver. Sn~vni, March 24.-1,*ltor .)uing Tina What a temptation to write ! but what to write very often suggests iitelf on this wise: Is it prudent at all tins to tell dl yiu know ? To write up news reqiires no ordi nary tigure head. We hear 5.o imany it:n talk; we see so wany good thiins the 'ni:s ought to have: vtt prudeow seems to be a prevailing virtue. Well, 'we te so c.nti tuted as to have an opinion of our own, and frequently we some times do things ourown vav, the-rel giving the news just as e tind it. Our comiuniity for sone time has been terrilbly excited over a ly factoiy. unt we have lost our laurels. This in L mearure has been quietel. I learn to-day an effort is being put for ward to incorporate a prohibition platik in our next primary. What say you? Do you think this move wise or unwise ? What will the church say ? This is food for thought.. My impression is prohibition will riot pro hibit. It is believed by some that such a move would overthrow the Democratic par. ty. Has prohibition ever succeeded any where? our faeile pen can give us your iews. I had an examining visit over the Sutm erton railroad avenue on Wednesday last. Dur friends down there are in earnest as to their coming town. Summerton really looks town-like. Col. Utsey was there, not only in the interests of the C. S. & N. Railroad, but he was much interested in Sunmerton. Ur. George Bruner likewise added much by leveling the avenue and surveying that pfrt which goes across Taw Caw Swamp. I think it was unfortunate that the oil mill failed ust at the time it did. Such a business en :erprise would certainly give more vim to he town than almost any other enterprises :hat they have yet undertaken. Capt. Jno. C. Lanham has been given the position of overseer over the new public tDghway recently declared public by the 3onnty commissioners. A good appointment, ;o say many of the citizens, but by no means a very enviable one. Mr. Lanham has been nuch interested, and carries a very laudable record for his untiring efforts to build up Summerton. It really looked on Saturday afternoon as f the wonderful storm prediction of Pro ressor Wiggins, the prophet, had come true. k dark cloud from the south-west, about 3 >'clock in the afternoon, gathered thick mnd heavy. It blew a blizzard, uprooting trees and doing considerable damage. The rain fell in great torrents. Tihe earth was well saturated. Lightning struck the house of Mr. C. T. Tenkipson, splitting it open, and seriously wounding Mrs. Jenkinson. Also tearing the hoe off the foot of Mr. Furman Jenkinson. Much speculation is rife in reference to ,he fruit trees-no blooms. Can you or any :orrespondent give the cause? In nany places the trees are dying. From my per onal knowledge there will be no fruit in this section. My impression is the early 1 Fall-sown oat erops are materially inj ired. Silver and the surrounding commumity is leeply sad in the death of Mrs. S. E. Duck Att. Mrs. Duckett was the eldest daughter )f W. M. Butler, of this place. With a bright future before her, being married only x few months, she has been stricken down in the very prime of her young life, leaving a bright record of a pure christian life. A arge circle of relatives and devoted friends took her remains to the family burying round, and laid garlands on her grave with nany tears of weeping. "Angels thronged her chariot wheel, And bore her soul to the throne; Then swept their golden harps and sung, The glorious work is done." -Tox. Foreston News. ForFSTov, March 25. --Base bill is again n the tapis, Mr. Editor, and Foreston is preparing to wipe up the dianmoid with any ispiring clubs that feel like crossing bats with her. The admirers of the game have been unusually generous in their contrihu ions, and the club will be as well equipped is any in the county. As 1 to1(d you once before, I know too lit tle bout farming to advance any opinion as to the state af the crops in this section.

There is nothing more to write about Mr. Editor. News is not to be had, and your "Sntee Kicker" is too cozitemnptible for no tice. X. The Last of the Tramp. Mn. Enrroit:-Here goes for a description of last week's tramp. We are not an artist, to know where to begin, to describe him, but, however, nevertheless, we will corm mence with the frock coat, guiltless of but tons (except two in the rear where they were of no earthly use) with half a frock gone, and the remainder of the garment, mottled like unto the celebrated coat that got Joseph into a hole, was fatstened at the neck with a glittering horse-shoe nail. A pair of pants fantastically fringed with rag ged ends, which bore the brands of many a camp fire. Their original color had long stuck to the overpowering forces of wind and weather, mud and grease. Below the fantastic fringe work appeared a pair of eet incasod in a boot and a shoe. The shoe had evidently seen better days and seemed to shrink with humilated pride from the forced companionship of the boot. The shoe was long, narrow, and pointed. The toe of the boot had an air hole in it ex tending clean across the upper, and was coarse and stubby. The boot was in proud possession of a heel, while the shoe had none. In glaring contrast to this tatt--r ed attire, the hat that completed the picture was a new straw affair, and looked like a bright, fresh, shingle roof, clapped on a very old, dilap~idated building. The face beneath the hat was round and plump, very dirty, quite keen, and embossed with a thick stubby beard. As the figure ap proaches, boot, shoe, pants, coat, and face seem to blend into one animated object, I while the bran new hat kept calling out, like a side show man on a fair ground, "Here we are; head us, and head us quick!" Now you have us ! An epitome of hard times ! A parody on a financial breakdown! A caricature on the fat of the land. What ain't rags is dirt, and what ain't dirt is bugs! We're the remnant of other days. We're the break-up-of-a-hard..winter. That's whati we are, and we want you tto know it. Here's your p)rodigal for yo i! Kill your fatted calf of kitchen fag-ends, and serve up the banquet on the back door steps. Bring out the purple and fine linen of your ragbags. Here's your prodigal and he's conmo hack hungr-y. B. Our- Valuable Swamsp Lansil. We regard it as a great significant fact that lumber men from the Northwvest should have come to this vicinity and purchased forty square miles of swamp land, and are still calling for more. Lands that we're 11 nancially valuele.ss twvo years ago have been sold for an average of three dollars per acre, and are now "stiff " in the hands of holder at four dollars. The number of these pro spectrs is larger than any. even the wellI informed, know, and every week new arri als are registered. It meas that the eyes of the most energetic. wideawake. and pro gressive people of this country, the cit' zens of the great Northwest, are turnedm this direction, and they are availing them selves of th- opportunities to which our own people seem singularly oblivious, of making fortunes at their vei-y doors... ter' Mihd:mo.

All these greatevents have beeu :tnd are still agitating the minds >f the people throughout the United States, yet with ill these thrilling :-venis the Levi Brothers have not al owed themselves to lose sight of the act that they are the leaders of the mrreantile business in their city. And bhey say let come what will they wil !ontinue to look out for the best in erests of their customers and give he1C every opportunity of making Iheir purchases with them at the low st possible prices. They have in the ?ast proved to the trade that they were ludling the best assorted stock i dry gootis, clothing, shoes, hats, adies' and gents' furnishing goods, anily and plantation groceries, that an be found in any mercantile estab ishment in the State, and by a con inuance of their well established >usiness principles they propose to iold on to the inimense trade built ip by them. It is useless to undertake to deny :he fact that energy, integrity, and ;trict business conduct will succeed in recomplishing success. The Levi 3rothers went to the city of Sumter ight in the face of the strongest kind )f competition, and by their strict tttention to business and their splen lid selection of goods have merited ;he position of leaders. They have a large trade with the people of this county, and we hear hem highly praised by every person hat has business transactions with hem. It is always gratifying to us to in orm our readers of the success that >ur young men are having away from iome, and to know that they have nerited the confidence of the people n their adopted home. A Reply to Santee Kicker. FousvoN, S. C., March 26.-Mr Edi/or:-In your last week's issue I 20tice an article over the signature of .. J.

It was distinctly noticeable that the wini decreased and su'ddenly increased in vio lence three times, the greatest damage be ing done by the last and most violent blow It is said by sone of our oldest inhabitants that not since 1939 has such a storm passel 'over this place, at which time many of th< finest shade trees were blown down and many houses damaged. All the China berry or Pride of India trees then in the plac< were uprooted. Since then many others have grown up, some very large. All these were blown down yesterday. Perhaps not one is left. MANY BUILDINGS INJURED. Ryttenberg & Sons' handsome two-story brick store i; badly damaged. About one hundred feet of a brick parapet about six feet high was blown over on the roof, break ing in the timber, flooding the upper story which is used by all our secret societies 'asa meeting place, damaging the furniture ani paraphernalia greatly. Mr. R. P. Mona ghan's store had the tin roof blown off ani the store was flooded with water. Mr. C. S Matheson's large two-story machine supply store is flat on the ground and broken int< stove wood; the tin on the roof may be saved and a small per cent. of the timbers. Th< tin roof of the jail and cotton mill are slightly damaged. The ball and spire of the Baptist church steeple are blown off. A large barn of Ducker & Bultman is blown down Mr. R. S. Cooper had part of a large syca more blown on his residence with scarcely any damage. Mr. B. R. Sanders's kitcheI is blown off of the foundation, but is intac on the ground near by. A small house at the Charleston, Sumte: and Northern depot was thrown down, and a Mr. Wilkie, who was in it, was knockei senseless and lay in the drenching rain fo: some time. The Episcopal parsonage was flooded with water from top to bottom. Tw< large guano and cotton sheds at the Wilming ton, Columbia and Augusta Railroad depo were blown down, and under them is bur ied a mule, whicn had been driven here by its owner for protection. Near this same depot seven colored persons were in a house which was blown to pieces, but not one 4i them was hurt. A WOMAN KILLED. Just a short distance out of the city limits a colored woman, Ida Richardson, was killed in a house which was blown down. A large shed near Main street, undet which E. E. Rembert & Co. had a lot o wagons stored for sale, was blown down Under this shed were also several mules hitched there by their owners. These were not injured. Mr. John S. R ichardson, Jr. had a large tree - blown against the bacd door of his residence so that it cannot be opened. The gable end of our large col ored school building is blown down. A small building on lower Main street, occu pied by a colored man as a shop, has the entire front blown out, and many other in stances of damage done might be enunier ated. OTHER DAMAGES. All over the city fences are down, in soaim places as many as ten or fifteen panels iI one fence, and our shade trees are laid lov by the score; noticeable among these ou two large and handsome oaks on Monument al square. The sun shines brightly to-day; to-morrov the work of repairing will be begun, and it a few more days the great storm of 1890 will be forgotten.

Hudson I on the bench. His Honor's charge to the Grand Jury was full and forcible with re gard to the recent lynching of eight negro pisoners. He said: "It is with great re gret and pain that I must speak to you of the enormous, outrageous violation of law committed in this county since the last term of this court. Eight men, safely confined in jail to stand their trials, were taken from the protection of the law by a body of law less men and shot to death. Such a cold blooded butchery is without precedent in the history of this country. If the perpe- I trators of so foul a murder can be discover ed let it be done and the law be vindicated. No people can flourish who have organized mob law. The harm done by such acts is incalculably severe. When men go to jail, take prisoners away, and put them to death they inflict a frightful blow on their State and community. Such lawlessness should be deprecated, should be checked, and I hope there is sufficient patriotism and love pf law and order to check such crimes." BUCKLEN'S ARNICA SALVE.

Many per sons, doubtless, suppose she has added the name Jeffe-rson to' her Christian name \'arn na, but this is not the proper explanation. V. is the abbreviation of venve, the French for widow, and it is the custom in Louisiana, a:nd perhaps in other p.arts of the South, for widows to place that letter before the Christian names of' their deceased husbands. V. JTeflT-rson Davis simply means the widow of .Je!Yerson Davis. - /We..%so W. F. Ostendortf, 223 Meeting St., opp. Carleston hotel, Charleston, S.
