We publish this week, in supple ment form, the report of the town council for the past two years. It is a complete statement of the financial affairs of this town, and will be of in terest to every citizen. It would not be a bad idea to file away this report for future reference and comparison.

Mrs. Cutter had been complaining for some time, but was in tolerably fair health, and was able to walk about as usual. The day be fore she had spent the day with a neighbor. She lay down Sunday af. ternoon to take a nap, and died while she was asleep. She was a member of Calvary Baptist church. Highest New York prices paid for all kinds of furs and hides (otter, fox, coon, mink) at M1. Kalisky's. It has been suggested by one of our merchants that the new town council could not make a better in vestment than to purchase a good fire engine for this town. would ne cessitate the digging o some more wells, but the rates ofgre insurance would be lessened considerably by having i good fire department. We feel satisfied that the council will do all in their power to give the town everything that the income will per mit, without resorting to extrava gance.. Do your eyes need help ? If so call on J. G. Dinkins & Co. and be fitted with a pair of Aqua-Crystal spectacles or eye glasses. Mr. Julian Mitchell, Jr., of Charlcs ton, was in town Tuesday on business with the clerk of the court. He gave Clerk Davis a mortgage to record, .ontaining 9,000 words in favor of the American Loan and Trust Com pany, of New York city, against the Charleston, Samter, & Northern R. R. Co. for $15,000 per mile for 145 miles. This is one of the largest papers ever put on record in this county, but the ksize of it didn't scare our clerk worth a cent, as it (lid not require "a step addm- to se into it." Iow o .... . The new council held their first meeting since their installation, Mon day night. The intendant and all the wardens were present. After the adoption of the minutes of their pre vious meeting, the newly elected clerk presented his bond, which was duly approved. Considerable business was transacted in the nature of devising plans by which members of council might understand each other, and work together harmoniously for the welfare of the town. A board of health was elected, con sisting of Dr. W. E. Brown, S. A. Nettles, and B. A. Johnson. Council instructed the clerk to look i into several matters and report same at the next meeting; among which to inform himself on all of the ordi nances relating to the closing of stores on Sunday, and to obnoxious persons loitering about the streets at night. They decided to open a new street in the rear of the lots known as "jail lots." They appointed a committee to confer with the property owners to see if a street could not be opened to the depot, running through lands of Mrs. W. A. Barfield and others. An other committee was appointed to look into the matter of procuring a site for a town hall, and the advisabil ity of building said hall. Council passed a very important or dinance, prohibiting the erection of any wooden building within 300 feet of the court house fence, without a special written permit. This ordi nance will have a good effect, as it will give the council the right to know what kind of a wooden structure a person contemplates building, and if hey think it to the best interest of the town, to refuse to grant a permit. This council has started out with a determination of giving the citizens a progressive administration, and if we are not greatly mistaken they will soon have our town on the road to compete with other growing towns. A Compromise With the Pinewood Saf ferers. R. 0. Purdy, Esq., of the Sumter bar rep resenting the Atlantic Coast Line, was in town Monday, and by appointment met Mr. James D. Childers, whose wife was killed at Lhe Pinewood railroad accident on the 12th inst., and Mr. Nelson Griffin, whose little son Shuford was so badly hurt in the same accident. Mr. Griffin, in accordance with an agree ment to compromise, applied to the Judge of Probate for letters of guardianship, which were granted, whereupon he receipted to Mr. Purdy for two thousand dollars the sum he had agreed to accept against all damages done him and his son. One half of this amount was awarded to the father, and the other half to the son. Mr. Griffin says that the railroad company have done all in their power to alleviate his sufferings and treated him with great consideration. Mr. Childers in accordance with his com promise agreement made application for letters of administration which will be granted on the 8th day of May, and as soon as he qualifies the bank cf Manning is au thorized to pay him the sum of two thou sand five hundred dollars, whereupon he will sign areceipt against the damages done him in the taking away the life of his wife. The railroad company will also pay all expenses incurred by these parties, in con sequence of the accidents. Political Meeting in Salem. Mr. E. S. Kennedy was in town last Friday, chock full of emthusiasm and gratification at the result of the convention held in Columbia last month. He says that he is heart and soul in favor of endorsing the "sug gestion" and the whole platform adopted at the convention, and that the people of Salem are all, like him self, thoroughly aroused and will con tinue to be so until news i-eaches them that Tillman has received the nomination for governor. He also in formed us that a citizens' public meet ing will be held at the Hicks store, near New Zion church, Saturday, April 26th, for the purpose of discussing the political situation and to adopt resolutions endorsing every step tak en by the Farmers' Convention. The committee in charge of this meeting are Dr. I. M. Woods, W. D. McFad din, E. S. Kennedy, W. 3. Turbeville, A. J. Castine, and S. C. Turbeville. The general public is invited, and with the above named committee to manage things a pleasant time may be looked for. Every arrangement will be made to make the meeting one of enthusiasm and jollification, and speeches, chickens, barbecues, and other good things will be on the program. Those that have had the pleasure of attending large gatherings in Salem can understand what will be done, and no people know how to en tertain and have a big time better than the people of Salem. This is to be the opening political meeting in the campaign for this coun ty, and a large crowd will be there to shake the hand of the smiling candi date, who would not for any consider ation absent himself on this day. Read This Offer. Having become convinced from ob servation that there are many persons in the county who are not now taking the MANNxG TDMs simply be cause they are unacquainted with its many merits, and that if they once contracted the habit of looking for ward to their county paper every week, they would not be able to do without it, we have determined to send out the paper on a "trial trip" at special rates To all subscribers not now on our list who will pay us the sum of FIFTY CENTS in advance, we will send the M.&ssma TIMss from the date of said payment until Nov. 15, 1890. As the regular price of the paper is $1.50 per annum, it will be seen that this offer, now made solely for the purpose above mentioned, is indeed a generous one. The date of expiration, Nov. 15th, is named in order that these special subscribers, should they decide to discontinue at this time, will be able to obtain any way the full election news, for it must not be forgotten that 1890 will doubt less prove, for reasons too numerous to enumerate at this time, one of the most important election years which has been known in South Carolina since the war.

Hudgins Celebrat" the Fiftieth Anniversary of Their Mar riage. WeIednesday evening, April 22, 1840, at 7 o'clock, just fifty years ago, Mr. R. R.

Everybody in Foreston had been invited, and every one who could possibly attend was there. Col. Hudgins was the happiest person there, and his every action and look gave evidence that he felt as young and happy as he had fifty years before. No pains or expense had been spared to make the pleasures of the evening befitting the occasion. Every room in the house was thrown open to the guests, and chinese lanterns lighted up the yard. Song and music and laughter and good will prevailed everywhere. All had gone there expecting a most enjoyable ocea sion and none were disappointed. Three long tables were literally loaded down with all the delicacies and tropical fruits the market would afford, and the choicest wines were free to all. All was joy and mirth. The happy couple were recipients of a number of valuable presents. Col. Hudgins is a native of Union county, S. C.; Mrs. Hudgins, of Mt. Vernon, Maine. They have two sons, both living: one is in business in Foreston; the other in Ken tucky. During the evening all the guests assem bled in the main parlor, and Rev. J. C. Bis sell made a short speech and a prayer. At ter supper as all were about to depart, at the request of Col. Hudgins, all again as sembled in the parlor and joined in the song, "God be with you till we meet again." This song was well rendered, and was beau tifully appropriate and touching.

Fditor': You can note some improvements at our little town. The depot is finished and painted, and we have four trains daily. Mr. Briggs has com pleted his new store, and it is now having the finishing touch with paint and brush. Other improvements will naturally follow. The good ladies are hard at work, prepar ing to build a church. On Friday night, May 2d, there is to be a hot supper in the interest of this good cause. The lot to put the church on has been given by Mr. A. WK. Thames, so you see we mean business. Oys ters, lemonade, cake, with substantials, will be furnished in abundance. You, Mr. Ed itor, in fact the entire trio of the TnrEs staff, are invited to come. Your good na ture, heavy filled pocket, and genial face will add much to our enjoyment.

The farmers are nearly through planting, and are now ready for general work. B. R. Tillmnan is the talk of the day. All are T1illmanites, despite the petty newspa pers which are venting their spleen upon the farmers' leader. Long jive the MAsxiNC, Tomns, which so manly tights the farmers' battles. ToM. Summerton News. SUMnIrrox', Apr. 21. -We have been hay in~g fine rains for the last few days, Lut it has been too cool for cotton to come up. There was some frost this morning. Our village was shocked on Tuesday by the sudden death of Mrs. Sarah Feler, neeS Ragin, daughter of Mrs. Dr. Ragin. She leaves an infasnt about two months old. The family have our sincere sympathy in their bereavement. The C. 8. & N. Railroad has p~ut On a fast train, which leaves Sumter in the morning and Charleston in the evening. This will give parties going down eight or ten hours in the city, and return the samie day: quite a convenience. The excursion on the C. S. & N. Railroad turned out more fun than was expected, but we cannot get the particulars. The Summerton Sfto' will be out this week. It was unavoidably delayed last wee.k. The boys of the village have organized a brass band. It is toot, toot, and teet. toot, day in and day out. One or two of the band are line players, and I don't think it will be long before we~ will hav. music we can listen at. Our village was incorporated by the, last legislature, but through somebody's negli. gence the committe-e appointed to hold the election were not notified, and the time has passed for the election. Is there no redress for us? Will somebody answer? It is ima Clarendon Solid for Ben Tillman. Ma. EDITon:--After reading thi newspapeis and learning the view! of the people abroad I came to the conclusion to see if I could not fini out the sentiment of my own countj people, and having business with ou county alliance business agent I con cluded to go to town last Saturday. I went to the court house and found the agent located in the Probat Judge's office, where he told me tha the brethren would find him on Sat urdays and public days until furthei notice, and while there I met a num ber of representative farmers, and whose sentiments on public questionE are usually in accord with their broth er farmers throughout this county I took the liberty of talking witL them on the political questions tha are now agitating the minds of the people all over the State. The result was that they agreed that the time had come when nem leaders should be selected, and thai those leaders must be men who arc not up to their necks in obligationw to monopolies, syndicates, railroads and other large corporations, or ir any wise identified with the moneyed leeches that have been and are sti: sucking the financial life and prosper. ity from the tiller of the soil. Thes( gentlemen expressed themselves a. being heartily in favor of endorsing the platform "that Ben Tillman car ried to Columbia in his breeches pocket," and they say they are as de termined now to see that no man whc is opposed to said platform shall b elected to represent this people in the next legislature as they were deter mined to elect Wade Hampton it 1876. They do not take any stock in thai game of bluff that is being played b3 old time political tricksters, trying. tc bluff the farmer out of his rights b3 raising the hue and cry of split in the party. Why, I cannot see any possi ble chance of a split, for are we noi pledged to abide the result and thi decision of the Democratic conven tion? And another thing is that th same flesh and blood that snatchec the reins of government from thi hands of the spoilsman and the cor ruptionist in 1876, have taken hold o this movement, and they will not stol until they have planted their victori ous banner upon the ramparts o those that dare to oppose, and havi driven them from their strongholds. It was admitted by some presen that Tillman was not their choice an( while they would have preferred tha some other man had been selected yet as the farmers in convention as sembled had reasons to believe tha Tillman was the proper man to lead they would not kick out of harness but go right along swelling up th ranks of what is bound to be a tri umphant procession. They contend that there is a princi ple involved in this matter, that mei are entirely out of the question. Till man was selected to be the trumpe by which the farmer will proclaim t the world that he will no longer sub mit being goaded by a set of me: that have been goading them fo many years. That the farmers have every confi Idence in Tillman's integrity and abili ty to serve them as a leader is evi denceed by the fact that he was sug gested in spite of the opposition i the convention, together with that c many of the newspapers of the Stat< The disgraceful conduct of the Uni versity boys in trying to ridicule ou leader has had the effect of making great many of us feel that their con duct was advised by some of the ol: position, and that we owe our suppoi to Tillman as a matter of self-respeci I have never before seen a peopl apparcntly so determined, and frot every quarter that I can hear from th movement is growing, and unles ~something unlooked for is developec it will not need a prophet to predic thatt Clairendon county will send solid delegation to Columbia which wi vote for Tillman first, last, and all th time.

HKuoon- Towxsan>, April 22.-W have noted with interest articles pul: lished showing in a measure th progress of some of our alliances.

In this connection, Mr. Editor, must not fail to mention that on Sat urday last the ladies prepared a sump tuous repast for our benefit, we] knowing that men like good eating We paid our hearty respects to thi 'dinner, inwardly thankful that w< were so well provided for.

The March convention has met and a nomination for governor has been made, of course subject to the ratifi cation of the coming Democratic con vention. Capt. Tillman, the so called nomi nee, is certainly deserving of a great deal from the agricultural class of the State. It has now been several years since he espoused their cause, and he has certainly worked assidu ously, regardless of time and cost to himself. A most loyal Democrat he yielded gracefully to the nomination of two years ago, and he will do so again, if he is not endorsed by the next convention. There is much to be admired in Capt. Tillman: he certainly possesses abili ty, nerve, forbearance, and the clear est perception, coupled with other qualities necessary to an executive officer, and he would make a first rate governor. Why so many are crying him down and ridiculing the conven t tion of last March I am at a loss tc know. He has been blamed, misre ported, insulted, and for what? The convention was called by the execu tive committee of the Farmers' Asso ciation, and that convention deter mined to put Tillman before the Dem. ocratic convention. I see no sin it this. We have been taunted wit] "Why don't you make nominations tc suit yourselves; you have a majorit3 in most of the conventions," yet, wher - we do make a suggestion or nomina t tion to keep the next convention fron being run and managed entirely b old politicians and wire-pullers, w' are blamed, ridiculed, and even ao cused of not being loyal Demnocrats We have been standing like met shoulder to the wheel since '76, hay ing little to say as regards our prefer ences, and now, let me assure all wh< feign uneasiness, we will as heretofor< vote for the nominees of the Stat< fDemocratic convention, and we onl, ask as much of all classes.
