The wax an - chrendltery and miscegena Read This Offer. Having become convinced from ob. servatiou that there are man3 persons in the county who are not nov taking the MANING TDIEs simpiy be. cause they are unacquainted with its many merits, and that if they onci contracted the habit of looking for ward to their county paper every week, they would not be able to dc without it, we have determined tc send out the paper on a "trial trip" ai special rates. To all subscribers nol now on our list who will pay us the sum of FIFTY CENTS in advance, we will send the MANNING TDms 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 oi 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 e to enumerate at this time, one of the most important election years which e has been known in South Carolina since the war. A New Firm. Messsrs. 0. C. Sires and M. C. 3 Chandler have formed a copartnership for the purpose of conducting the fur niture and undertaking business in this town. Mr. M. Levi sold them his entire stock of furniture, together with the good will of the furniture - business. Mr. Sires is from Summerville, and has all the necessary experience to make his venture in Manning a suc cess. Mr. Chandler is a cabinet maker and undertaker by trade, hav ing served an apprenticeship under J. D. Craig, of Sumter. Lately he has been connected with the Phenix Furniture Company of Charleston. f These gentlemen visited Manning, i and being struck with the beauty ol - the town and its prospects for a good trade, concluded to make this invest - ment, and we hope that the people ol Clarendon will give them an encour I aging support, as they propose to handle first class goods at low prices. New Arrivals. A young Tillmanite arrived at the household of Mr. E. A. Lowry last Thursday. The population of Manning waE increased last Monday by the arrival of a "dude" at the residence of Mr. A. Weitiberg. e Breinbegton fish will have to hide out, as on the night of the 1st ol - May Mr. H. D. Plowden procured the a services of a little fisherman to assist him in catching the finny tribe. A Wagon Factory. A progressive merchant of this town e says that Manning has every facility for having a first class wagon factory, and that the necessary material can Sbe found near the town and could be had so cheap that a factory properly - equipped could build wagons here as F cheap as they can be built anywhere. tThe idea is a good one, and we see no reason why a joint stock company cannot be organized fzor the purpose. Other towns have tried this experi ment and met with success, and Man ning can do so also. All that is need ed is for the citizens to pull together and this business enterprise would be 'made a success. 3 Let some one put the ball in mo tion. The capital required will not - exceed $20,000, and this amount cer tainly can be raised right in towvn. r A Cow Stolen. SYesterday morning a white man brought a cow to Manning for sale, -and it was bought for beef by Mr. G. -H. Huggins. This morning three ne ~Igroes, living in the Privateer neigh borhood, Sumter county, came to Manning in search of the cow, and upon beiing told that Mr. Huggins -had bought a cow yesterday they call ed on himi to be allowed to see if they could identifly the cow as belonging to one of the party. Mr. Huggins took them to the lot, and the man claiming to have had his cow stolen .from him at once identified it as be-. >ing his. The party returned to Sum ter county where they will take out a 1warrant for the man, who gave his name as Wells to some and Broad way to others. Bargainsat M. Levi's. :M. Levi has a tremendous stock of ladies', gents', and children's shoes Swhichi he proposes to sell at very low figures in order to unload. His stock of hats, clothing, and dry goods cannot be excelled by any gen eral merchandise store in the State. I He will sell a fine assortment of Sdickeys, which consists of a collar, F pair of cuffs, and shirt front, for 30 Scents, former price 50 cents. tThe finest lot of neck ties and cra vats ever brought to Manning from - ten cents up to 75 cents, former prices from 25 cents to $1.25. f A fine lot of bicycle shirts of all grades will be sold very cheap. ~ His clothing counters are filled with the neatest styles, and he will sell Sthem cheaper than they can be pur chased in Charleston. A special re duction made in all kinds of gent's furnishing goods. Manning's First Strike. We have often read of the working men striking in such little villages as New York, Chicago, Pittsburg, and Philadelphia, but never before in the history of our young, beautiful, and progressive city have we had anything among our laborers that resembled a strike. Last Monday morning when our worthy Intendant came down town to see that the hands were started at their work, he was surprised to learn that the laborers had formed them selves into a combination and refused to go to work for the wages that the town was paying. F The Intendant, being a man who f understands the value of labor, and having the interest of the town at .heart, refused to entertain their propo sition for an increase of wages, and awhen these men found that within a few minutes they had been replaced - by others their minds took a change, ibut too late. They will have to seek elsewhere if they want work, as thc Intendant of this town is not the man - to be baffled by a set of strikers, who . by such acts would retard the im .mrovments that are being made. to St. Pauls. T is an old saying, and we be lieve it to be a truism, "that when the cat's away the mice will play," so as the Editor was in Charleston having a glorious time, the Local took advan tage of an invitation to have a day off. Last Thursday morning- Mr. David Levi, Santee's merchant prince, was in town and invited a party of gentle men, consisting of Mr. S. A. Rigby, Capt. A. Levi, and the scribbler of localisms for the Tioms, to acconipany him home. The invitation was ac cepted, and as the party was rather on the order of the distinguished, Mr. Moses Levi tendered his magnificent team of bays for the trip. We drove through the country, and, it was amazing to see the beautiful condition of things. All the farms on the road to St. Pauls are being well worked, cotton and corn is growingI nicely, and the general appearance of the farm houses is that of progress and thrift. We saw several fine farms, and es pecially so were the farms of Messrs. H. B. and E. A. Tindal. These were so attractive one of our party exclaim ed that the assertion could be truth fully made that these two farms can not be beaten in the State. On our route we took in Summerton, and the improvements we saw there were sim ply remarkable. We regret that we did not get out of the buggy and walk around the town. We have of ten heard of the progressthe citizens of Summerton were making and be lieved all we heard, but we admit that we did not dream of seeing as much of it as we did. They have several fine stores, and some of them would do credit to a larger town. The pri vate residences are nicely painted and built after modern styles, which gives I the town a new appearance. We were very much pleased with the elegant two-story residence re ceatly completed by Dr. Badger. It certainly is an ornament not only to Summerton, but to the county. As we went on we would see one pleasant sight after another: here a magnificent cotton field, there a fine field of corn, and at another place a neat and cosey residence, until we ar rived at St. Pauls. " There we saw sev eral prettily painted cottages.recently built by Mr. D. Levi. When we reached Mr. Levi's hos pitable mansion the first sight that! greeted us was the large number of persons waiting for our arrival, as our, host had previously telegraphed that we were coming. They gave us a perfect ovation, and our reception so affected the senior member of our par tv that he could not resist the tempta tion of making a speech, and in his usual happy and eloquent style he! told his hearers all about the tariff, the sub-treasury plan, and all the matters and things that well informed people are always delighted to hear. He further told them that he had trav eled miles through a prosperous coun try to eat fish and fish he was bound; to have, and that they had just as well get everything in fishing order. Some one in the crowd cried out, "We've all: the fish you are looking for," and then in a flight of eloquence that was grand he informed his hearers that he was hungry. Other speeches were made, but time and space forbids giving them here, but sufficient is it t'o say that all the speeches were vociferously cheered. Then our genial host extended to us a cordial wvelcomie, and everybody that knows David Levi and has ever visited his bachelor quarters, knows that his speech was captivating and his welcome warm. After all these preliminaries were over our host and his handsome clerk, Mr. R. M. McKnight, went about do ing all in their power to make our stay a memorable one, and they suc ceeded. The next morning we left for home,! coming by the way of Silver. and the beautiful sights we saw going were repeated on our homeward ride, and we were made to feel that Clarendon county is up and doing for a good crop, and that her prospects are sec ond to none in the State. The Sheriff's Sales. Monday was salesday and quite a number of persons were in town, some interested in the sheriff's sales and others interested in politics. The sheriff sold 837 acres of land situated in Dyall's bay, belonging to parties unknown, for $221.81. The purchaser was Henry Welsh, of Charleston. He next sold 100 acres of land, lo cated near Summnerton, at the suit of J. L. Shuford against estate John 0. Ingram. To J. L. Shuford for $400. The last piece of land sold was at: the suit of -J. E. Tindal and J. B. Brown, executors of Robert J. Holla day, deceased, against W. W. Ged dings, 65 acres for $300.25. Purchas ed by G. H. Curtis.4 After the sales were over those in terested in politics retired to the court house steps and discussed the politi cal situation, and at times the conver sation was very amusing and exciting. W. F. Ostendorif, 223 Meeting St., opp. Charleston hotel, Charleston, S. C., has a line: selection of harness, saddles, bridles, col lars, etc., which he offers low for cash. All kinds of harness made to order at short no tice. Styles and prices equal to any North ern house. Saddles made to order. Send for prices. A. G. Cuaworth, supt. IA Big Charge andaBg ut Dr. J. C. Willcox, of Darlington, was in Lurens last week when he received a tele gram announcing the serions illness of his~ father. He immediately lelegraphied to Co lumbia asking for what amont of money. he could charter a special train to carry him from Laurens to Columbia in time to connect with the first train to Marion. The railroad authorities telegraphed him in reply that they would furnish the train for one < hundred and ninety-five dollars provided he would paiy the money at once to their I agnt in Laurens. 'This Dr. Willeox did 1 immediately. Seeing his anxiety the rail-'1 road otnicirds decided that he would pay< more than the amount stipulated and they demanded more. Dr. WVilcox refused to < yield to their exorb.itant demand arid the railroad refused to furih the train. In its1 effrt to tak.e advantage of the Doctor's no-< cessities the railroeid evidently overreaclhed1 itself and violated the contract it had al- 1 ready made with him to furnish a special train at a certain price. In cons~equence. of1 this Dr. Willeox has sued the road for danm-1 ages, placing the amount at t-n thousand< dollars.--.Mr<one Ild.e.

'Tiihnan 'vinit, saw, and conquered, in spite of the bull-dozing methods indulged in by Youmans and Woodward. Who ever heard of muen ci.liming to be fair and honest going to a meeting, and after being couite >uslv received by the orator of the day, turn n and abuse, villify, and through a crowd >f "heelers" try to heap insult and mortifi rtiou upon the man who kindly introduced them to hIs audivnce? Tillian by introducing these men to an audience to which he was invited to be the >rator of the occasion showed that he feared io fair and hon:>rable discussion, but was ae treated with becoming courtesy? Let Woodward and Youmans continue vith their plan of trying to rule or ruin, mrt before the campaign is half over they xill find that their opposition will do more o cement the farmers together than all the ;ound and truthful arguments that will be brought to bear by the friends of Tillman. Persecution never pays, :and when men starting out to defeat a man or principle and finding that they cannot do anything by orking within the lines of decency and .airness. get mad and allow themselves to bull-doze, villify, and abnse the opposition, hen the sympathy for the abused is aroused mnd the people plant themselves flat-footed mnd go to the rescue of their friend. Since :he Ridgeway meeting I have heard men xvho were indifferent and rather disposed to ,ait for the August convention before they avould give an opinion or express a choice, say that the friends of the Colmnbia ring tre rapidly electing Tillman. There are a few Anti-Tillman men in this mounty, and they too have c-ight the idea hat they must abuse the opposition instead )f trying to convince the farm'er that the efforts to bring about reform is wrong,'in yther words they have the audacity to feel :at the farmer is getting too big for his 3reeches because the prospect for a fine crop .s good and they want to think that the ,armer had better nurse and cultivate his :rop instead of having anything to say ibout politics; but we are naturally a quiet eople and we will keep a still tongue and et these fellows that have been living on ublic pap ever since 1876 do the blowing, md when the proper time arrives every armer will come out from between his plow 2andles, walk up to the ballot box, and ast his vote for Tillman and every other nan of his choice without any dictation rom these fellows that grow red in the face -ery time they hear the mention of Till nan's name. 1 feel certain that if the Antis cannot ,ounteract the present sentiment of the peo 3le they will as a dernier resort turn heaven nd earth to captnre the Democratic clubs, md if our people do not turn out and watch he proceedings at their respective clubs ey will be ontwitted by these trained pol ticians. I was at the court house last Mon lay and saw the anxiety depicted on the 'ountenances of a few, but I am happy to ,ay that some of our county officers are in nll sympathy with us, and because of their ;ympathy for those that are fighting for ruth and justice they are being constantly idiculed and harassed by a set of men that lae been and still are the "heelers" of the -clique." It was asserted Monday that any man -unning for office in this campaign in Clar mdon county would be politically killed inless he first publicly announced his in ention to vote for and support Tillman. ow by the way of encouragement to these gentleinen who expect to be candidates be 'ore our people, I will say that the farmers vill vote for the man who they think is best itted for the office for which he is a candi late, and I think it despicably mean to try o intimidate a man b~y threatening to defeat iim simply because in his conscience he hinks the farmers' cause is a just cause. However, if the Antis want to make the sne we are ready' to meet them, and if our eope are made of the material that we hink they are the antis will be severely .orsted. The MaNNINo TI:ES is gaining a great iumber of subscribers in this section.

Olarendon county, May C, 1890). Beware the Shade Tree. Enron TmrFs:-Being desirous of send ng something to your paper and having 1 news, we set our imagination to work up omething that wvould interest some of your readers, and here is what our imagination lid for us. We overheard the following ~onversation betwveen Gen. Green and his oadjutors: The General said that he had een informed that the farmers were to have i election soon for governor and that there aere two candidates in the field, nanmely, [ndstry and Laziness. He instructed his ides to do all they could against the first 2amcd candidate, as his election would be mure destrudtion to the General and family md friends, and wvould result in the pros ~erity and happiness of the farmer, while f Laziness was successful General Green ould be prosperous and happy, and the armer would be ruined and miserable. Now, therefore, they ndust try and arrange atters so as to have shades conveniently iear to the farmers' fields for Laziness to :est under during the heat of the day, as he wanted to make an electioneering tour and ] could not stand the hot sun. He must mave shade, as shades were very inj urious o farmers truck, and he had known one hade tree and not a big one either in the niddle of a fifty acre field to pretty well rain the crop of the whole field. Now as I said in the outset this is im gination, but it may have a moral. C. Bonanza, April 28th. Let the Farmners St and Solidly Together. Emiroa MArN TImEs:--I have been a ilent listener to the political harangue that s going on and have been struck with everal things, and as you by your conserv tive course have shown us that we can get 'air play, so far as you are concerned, I have roncluded to write a few lines for publica ion. Some one has recently said that "the ld time technical clap-trap by the profes ional politician most generally succeeds in hrowing a veil of mystery over the green >nes whose votes elevate them to office." [his veil is abont to vanish, and the people's yes are beginning to open. I was amused to see how candid your cor -espondent from Foreston was last week. Ie is no moral coward, and has the right ing for true Demecr'ats when he acknowl lges his wrong and accepts with good grace he true standard bearer of the Democratic >arty of South Carolina, Capt. B. Rl. Till nan. I am also amused to see how some own peole arc trying to use the party lash >n the farnmers' movement men; when they mow that the men who composed the recent -onvention are as true and loyal Democrats s they ever can he. I have been amused again in seeing them call us bad names and ;peak bitter words about us, "no sincerity," 'etaggues," "o.fie seekers," etc. Now, sr. Editor, do they expect to heat us in a 'ir and squarie race in the Democratic party n ths wy. If they do they will certainly ;et left. It I nmtake not the times, they mie got to use somethinag else in order to tontinue themiselves in power. I have been again amused at their efforts o bing the Aliiance into politics.

JA)EOCRAT. News from Silver. SILvER, May 3.-Amidstthe rapidly grow ing interest of every little town now spring ing up on the C. S. & N. Railroad none seem more progressive than Silver. The most inter-sting topic among our people? just now is the building of a church, and to this our efforts and energies for the present aire mainly directed. Who will aid in this the most laudable effo4rt of any community ? The interest taken by the ladies are worthy of encouragement. and their efforts are meetrig with the most sanguine success. Under their management, tact, and energy the church will be built. The hot supper given by them on Friday night, May 2d, was the most enjoyable festival of the kind it has ever been my good fortune to attend. Its management by Baptists, Presbyterians, and Methodist- gave evidence of life and good feeling in this community. I would not dare individnalize or even speak of any one particular lady now where all did so well. Money enough has been realized to purchase the lumber: the lot has already been given. The end is not yet. One of Summierton's most popular young clerks, who attended the festival last Friday night, remarked that Silver had the lead in handsome young ladies. It was his first visit to our little town, but from what I saw he likely may come back, and if successful in forming his matrimonial alliance may cast his lot with us. Packsville too was rep resented by one of her whole-souled mer chants, whose liberality was as unbounded as he is jovial and pleasant. Even this old correspondent felt a crowning fascination when a handsome lady pinned upon the lappel of his coat a beautiful bunch of flow ers with a smile and "twenty-five cents if you please." The money had to come from all who were thus treated. Candidates are beginning to loom up. You can, Mr. Editor, say to one and all of them that the fair ladies of this community intend to assess every candidate, so they have need to arm themselves aforetime with the one thing needful. It would be better, ten times better, for an office-seeker to have a mill stone hanged about-his neck and he cast into the sea, than for him to visit Silver without money. Ben Tillman is coming to Silver ! Every body is aroused: excitement runs high to see the great farmers' agitator. This will be one of the most noted periods of our community: nothing will equal it since the day of Hampton. He has been invited, in behalf of the ladies, to deliver a lecture for the benefit of the church fund. The whole program will be furnished the Tnms for public notice. It is useless for me to tell you of Tillman's popularity in this section of the county. To judge from popular sen timent, Woodward, and Iredell Jones, and J. J. Dargan, Sumter's little game cock, have been weighed in the balances and found wanting. Our farmers are not extremists: they weigh matters well. They think for themselves and will act for themselves, and from every day talk you but uttered the truth well when you said in your last issue Tillman would be the next governor of South Carolina. Tne Charleston News and Couri er has done more to solidify Tillman than anything else. Its bitter abuse, its terrible tyrannical spirit, which has ever been char acteristic of this paper, has embittered the farmers, so enraged them, that they are con stantly and positively refusing to read the paper. In time to come there will be very few farmers to read it. The News and Cou rier is not the paper for the farmers; its editorials, its correspondents, are all against the farmers. This takes no blind man to see. Lt every farmer read between the lines. The World is a popular paper. It looks on the other side of the picture; it feeds the old goose that lays the golden egg. The farmers are giving it their liberal support. The Tutus continues to gain ground, because of its liberal views. Sickness and death prevails among us5. There is scarcely a household but what in some way has suffered severely with dysen tery, which is scourging every home. Mrs. Henrietta Owens, widow of Rev.W. W. Owens, (once a local minister of the Methodist church on Santee circuit), and mother-in-law of Wim. Butler, died at the residence ci her son-in-law May 1st, in her 76th year. She was buried at St. Pauls, beside her huaband. 1 called in to see the newv Summertcn Star a few days ago. The editor and pro'prietor seemed hopeful and full of life's good things, the very best Summerton could af ford. While the Star is neither for nor against uncle Ben, yet a few chatting mo Iments in the editor's sanctum i'eveals the fact that the farmers have a valuable acqui sition added to their number in the person age of it-s editor. Dr. S. C. C. Richardson passed through Silver a few days ago, visiting kinsmen. The Dr. always was a handsome gentleman. His white beard adds~ still more to his yen erable appearance-. Manning's big merchant, S. A. Rigby, and Capt. A. Levi, the b'ank president, in charge of your local, .Judge Appelt, made a raid on the tinny tribe at Prince's pond one day this week, and on their return gave Silver a call. Toe. "TIRED ALL THE TIME." Say many poor men and women, who seem overworked, or are debilitated by change of season, climate, or life. It you could read the hundreds of letters praising Hood's Sar saparilla which come from people whom it has restored to health, you would be con vinced of its merits. As this is impossible, why not try Hood's Sarsaparilla yourself and thus realize its benefit? It will tone and build up your system, give you a good appetite, overcome that tiredl feeling and make you feel, as one woman expressed it, "like a new creature.-' Club Meeting at Wilsons.
