THE MANNING TIMES S. A. NETTLES., Editor. WEDNESDAY, May 14, 1390. THE ALLIANCE IN CLARENDON. We have for some time been ol serving with interest the pusitio taken by some Alliances in the Stat in passing resolutions. The Allianc is ' powerful organization, with th governing principle that the will < the majority must rule. An Allianc resolution is as binding as the obligi tion, and every good and true membi of an Alliance should and must grac( fully submit to the will of the majo ity. The members of an Allianc then should use great care aid cautio in adopting a resolution which a r( spectable minority opposes. Ther should always be some real and ne< emary cause for the enactment of an law that in any way infringes upo: the rights and privileges of anothe member, and in politics and religio: especially should there be no conflic within the sacred walls of an Alliane ball: let such differences always be set tied outside. Clarendon county has been as con servative in this respect as any on could possibly ask for. Not a reso lution entering or bordering the fie4 of politics or religion has been adopt e, or as far as we know, even offered except one in Palmetto Alliance which in this case simply enunciate< the principles of the order, that i would not enter the political field b: declaring in favor of any candidate We heartily congratulate the AlliancA of Clarendon county for this conserv ative stand. Outside let each mem ber think as he pleases, talk in favoi of any candidate that he prefers, maki ringing political speeches, act in ani way consistent with a free, intelligen American citizen, but when he enter. the Alliance hal, let him remembei that here he enters a house of breth ren, who while they must form a un - - j iafL-things essential to the prin. eiples of the order, yet they must noi go beyond this constitutional limii and endeavor as an order to exert an3 extra influences. The Alliane in Clarendon is work Mg quietly, harmoniously, conserva tively, for the good of the order ani for the advancement of the best in teresta of the farming element of the county, and we bid them God-speei -in their noble work. BUILD UP THE TOWN. The town of Manning has all thE natural facilities for developing into -ive town that oeuld wish, and i chronie eroakers declare it now is, il will be the result simply of the selfisi aa- srdidness of our hardshell businesi 'men. Some time back an effort war made to organize a building and loaj assooiation, an institution whose chie obect is to develop the building in i.tereata of the town and county. Whal anucces did it meet? Not a large mer ebcant, or a moneyed man of the towz -with possibly one or two exceptions yape it a particle of encouragement and those one or two who did help b elped very little. The secret of th< is that every man wants t< Stake care of himself, and wants thi -devil to take the others. We need a town hall with a marke ~and guard house and two largE stores, and the town councilisin favoa of building it, but some few in thE town are opposed to it, and the prob ability is the town hall will not bE Sbilt. But we will be disappointet ifsthe present town council leave single effort untried for its building There are no stores in town for an' person who wants to come here, ani those who own lots prefer to plan them rather than to build stores tha ~'would yield handsome revenues ani at the same time build up the town We want a railroad connection witi the C. S. & N. Railroad, and our mner ebants and capitalists should use some efforts to get the railroad t< -make the connection; but no, the' fear it willtake afew dollars out o thi pockets. *:W need afire engine and fire wells and other things, but all these thingi cost money. Let us get interested il the matter, get out of our selfisi shells, and the bright light of succes: and prosperity will burst upon us. We are full on this subject,- th< building up of our town, and we pro pose drumming it into our people ti] they realize that to succeed we mus be up and doing. Our columns ar< so crowded this week, we have to omi much that we would like to publish E ARLE AID TT LIMAN. CoL Jos. HK Earle and Capt. Bei Tillman met in Anderson last Satur day, to discuss the political situatior They had a large audience, mostl: 'Pflmanites. CoL Earle demanded c Ti~man if he had any charges of cor raption to prefer against any State of fleer. Capt. Tillman replied tha he had no charges of corruption o ineffcincy to make against any Stat onfce, but that a number of th members of the Legislature had per jured themselves in not voting to hay a census taken in 1885. He, alsc &etoad several other things h YUIYdirregular. The discussio. ~a ively, but couched in gentleman terms. A number of ladies wa vaatat this meeting. A C0PAIGN DODGE. We were very much surprised las week to hear an intelligent man o this county refer to the large regis tering of negroes lately as an effor of the Tillman faction to capture th negro vote. The idea is preposterous Some even go so far, in talking of th< factional fight, as to designate th< contest as a race between Democrat. a and Tillmanites, insinuating thereb: e that Tillman and his supporters arE e not Democrats. Absurd! Tillmai e and his supporters are as good Dem I ocrats as are in the State. It is sim e I ply a question of one faction or par Iof the Democratic party thinking tha r some of the present officers have beer feeding on public pap so long tha they think they are entitled to it, and e have thereby grown careless in thE a discharge of their duties. It is jus such a condition of affairs as we have e frequently had in Clarendon county - where one faction of the party sup y ported one man, and another factior 2 another man. Tillman wants to be r governor, there is no doubt of it. Ani I we confess, as we have said editokally t a number of times, that we cannot see a any extraordinary prerequisites he hai - for the office, yet, as we have likewise said, he is certainly a man of some - fine parts, and we believe he will make a fair average governor, superior tc - many we have had since the time of I the lords proprietors. We acknowl - edge that we have no special favorite for whose sake and for whose nomina tion we would risk life and limb. We I are perfectly willing to trust the helm of State to Tillman. We also ac knowledge that we cannot understand the immense amount of opposition to Tillman. He has a fine record as an uncompromising Democrat. No hint of corruption has been cast against him. He has not charged the State with corruption, but simply with ex travagance' and that the farming in terests of the State have not received the proper attention due them. His suggestion by the March Con vention, while out of the regular red tape line of procedure, is by no means an act worthy of such censure and condemnation. The farmers of the State, or at least a large part of them, favor him, and as this is the first time since the days of reconstruction that a candidate has appeared avowedly as a farmers' candidate, and as he is a man fully competent to fill the duties of the office, we think it would sim ply be an act of graceful courtesy for all classes and cliques quietly to ac quiesce in Tillman's favor. We see no sin in the farmers wanting Tillman, and we say let them have him, and we believe they will get him! -But about the negroes' registering having any effect on Tillman's nomi nation. ~~ftis, as every Desmoemat knows, a rule of the Democratic par ty that no negro can vote in a Demo cratic primary, unless it is known that he voted the regular Democratic tick et at the preceding general election, and whoever would strive to produce a contrary opinion is either unpardon ably ignorant or desirous of perpe trating a gross misrepresentation. THAT LEXINGTON LYTNCHING. The Lexington lynching affair is still involved in mystery. Three of 'the lynchers are in jail, charged with murder, and the others, it is claimed, will put in their appearance at the Inext term of court to stand their tri aL This trial will of course be farci cal. Perjury seems to be the order of the day in Lexington, and the prisoners will easily find a jury to pronounce them not guilty, even though they acknowledge the deed in open court. These Lexington people say and swear that the affidavits and letters on which the reprieve of the Inegro was based are all forgeries. We confess that since there has been so much false swearing, perjury, lying, or whatever term one wishes to use, that we do not know what to believe. We do know there was no excuse for the lynching. One of the best and ablest jurists in the State, Judge Wal lace, than whom there isno truer South Carolinian with all that that term car ries, had, after investigating the let ters and affidavits declaring that the negro was not guilty of the crime for which he was to die, advised the Gov enor to respite the negro a few days till the affair could be legally exam ined into. He could not have done otherwise, and his and the Governor's action in reprieving the negro under these circumstances is approved by every thinking man. Miss Cannon and her friendsdeclare that all the affidavits and letters are Iforgeries. Miss Cannon makes affi davit that she never wrote any letter to her mother, saying the crime had not been committed on her; her brother likewise makes affidavit that he never signed any affdavit saying that his sister had told him she had not been raped; and the notary pub lic before whom the affidavit was pur ported to have been made, makes an affdavit that young Cannon did not made any affidavit before him; etc. Matters are certainly in a mixed mess and something is rotten in Denmark. Had these Lexington people wait . ed till the next term of court, which meets in June, all things would have -worked out right; but o hype Sferred violating their pledged word f of honor, and themselves to act as - Ijudge, jury, and law. Well, they have done it. ITillman ought to sue the Charles ton World for damages, for the horrid looking picture in that journal to-day, alleged to be his portrait. A $3,000 accident ticket, good for 24 hours, can be had at the Manning Times office for S2 cents, and in case of accideni -i $15 a week will be paid. Ev 8ery person taking a trip should bny a ticket. Talks Witi Clarendon Farmers. Mr. Winfield Holladay was at the court house Saturday. He says that the crops about Panola are looking well, and the farm ers are hard at work. The MArsaYG Tas is very popular, and Tillman is the war cry. Mr. J. H. Horton, of Davis, was in town yesterday, and said to us: "Farmers are hard at work, with good prospects for a fine crop. We find the railroad a great conve nience, and Mr. Wilson, the president, is very accommodating to our people. Politics is quiet in my neighborhood, but the major. ity of the people are for Tillman. Have heard of no candidates yet for any of the county offices." - Mr. J. E. Richbonrg, of Foreston, was in town yesterday. He says that the political atmosphere is very much inflated with Till mania, and that with the exception of a few persons his neighborhood is for Tillman. Mr. R. R. Billups, one of the most eon servative farmers of Brunson's Cross Roads, was in town this morning, and says thatthe crops in his section are looking fine. The people are chock full of Tillman enthusi asm, and on the 26th day of July every man that can manage to proenre a vehicle (and those that cannot will walk) will be in Man ning to give Ben Tillman a rousing wel come. He further says that Wade Hampton is now in the zenith of his glory, but if he allows the ring-masters to induce him to run for governor his political doom is fixed. Mr. W. T. Sprott, of Jordan, a prosper ous farmer, was in town Saturday, and says that the farmers in his section are doing fine work, their crops are small but good stands. The political situation is entirely in favor of Tillman, and only occasionally can be heard the weak voice of an Anti-Tillmanite. Mr. W. H. H. Hobbs, chairman of the Board of County Commissioners, was in town to-day. He says politics is lively in Salem, and that he doubts if there are twen ty men in salem opposed to Tillman. He thinks Salem will furnish several candidates, although none are yet announced. The crops are in fine condition in Salem. The News and Courier reports Dr. W. H. Reynolds, of Packsville, as saying: "My impression is that the Alliance in our coun ty is being used by its leaders for the pur pose of aiding the candidacy of Mr. Tillman. They all recognize that this is not the legit imate aim of the Alliance. The Alliance is however very much divided in its support of the March Convention 'suggestion.' Mr. Tillman has a strong and influential worker in one of our county Representatives. The leaders of the old Democracy are not yet as heartily at work as the Tillmanites. The sentiment in favor of Tillman has, I think, reached its height in our county, and is rather on the decrease." Wofford College Conmenem*ient. We have received from Mr. Bryant Henderson, a former student of the Manning Academy, an invitation to Wofford College commencement next month. The invitations are very hand some.

The narrator of the following has great faith in the catechism, and teaches it with a pertinacity which would challenge the aid miration of Calvin himself, He is also very particular in instructing bis children to spplly on all occasions. The result ofhstahings is sometimes anising. This was the case one day last wee-k, when he was putting the youngest of fonr through his preparatory course. The question was asked, "Who tempted Eve ?" The little fellow, after a moment's thought, with an air of confidence, replied; "It's the gentleman who lives in hell: I've forgotten his nanme." Persons advanced in years feel younger and stronger, as well as freer from the in firmities of age, by taking Dr. J. H. Me HOUSEHOLD NOTES. MRS S. A. NErrLL3. CARE OF OmcKENs.-Nearly all of the diseases to whi:-h fowls are sub ject may be traced to overfeeding. A fowl that is constantly stuffed soon becomes disordered and deficient in digestion, thus wasting the excess of food. Exercise is the best antidote for overfed birds. Reduce the allow ance and compel them to work. In dustry means a production of eggs, and the fowls will also keep healthy by having something to do. How of ten it happens that thirteen eggs are placed under a hen, she hatches per haps ten, and raises five. The num ber in a brood raised to a marketable age seldom equals one-half of all that hatch. The hen can cover the chicks when they are very small, but, as they grow, a few must take their chances on the outside. The result is that on some cold night they perish, or be come so thoroughly chilled as to grad ually droop and die. A young chick just out of the shell is almost entirely unprotected, its down being of little service, and the proper temperature for it the first forty-eight hours is at least ninety degrees, and even one hundred degrees is not too warm. If the hen is not kept in a warm place she cannot impart this warmth, as there are cold currents along the ground. If there are one or two chicks stronger than the others they will induce the hen to follow them, the result being that the weaker ones suffer because the mother will not hover for them. No amount of food can compensate for this lack of warmth, and if the chicks do not per-. ish they become stunted. There is no necessity for this loss of chicks in a brood. In the first place, ten eggs are enough for a hen to cover in cold weather, and in the next, eight chicks make a sufficiently large brood for her to manage. More chicks can be raised from a small brood than from a large one, and to insure success in cold weather the hen and brood must be well protected, as well as confined to a small space until the chicks are feathered. A death-trap to the chicks is the water fountain. Dampness is fatal to young chicks, and they should never be allowed to more than get their beaks in the water. Paddling through a saucer, or turning over a cup of water, thus wetting the run, is dangerous. They should be fed ev ery two hours, after they have been a day out of the shell, on bread crumbs and milk, with granulated oatmeal kept constantly before them. In a short time they will eat screenings and cracked corn, and then wheat. As soon as they begin to eat wheat the greater difficulty will be over, as then a mess of soft food twice a day will be sufficient. Even until chicks are two months old they require being kept warm. In housefurnishing there ore many things to be avoided. Shams, unless they are careful copies, are easily de tected. Better a simple ornament of good quality than a pretentious make-; believe. Do not hang up cheap land scapes in oil under the delusion that' they will decorate your wals Better frame a good wood engraving if the subject is wvell chosen. A good steel engraving is always desirable. Select; those true to life and you will not greatly err, even though not a critical judge of art. APPLE~ LAYER CAK:.-One cup of su gar, one spoonful of butter, two eggs, one-half cup sweet milk, one-half tea spoonful soda, one teaspoonful cream tartar (or a heaping teaspoonful of baking or yeast powder, if preferred), one and one-half cups of flour; hake in jelly cake tins. FILLING.-One large tart apple, par ed and grated; add the white of one egg and two heaping spoonfuls of powdered sugar, beat until thick, flavor with lemon, vanilla, or nutmeg, and spread between the layers. This is excellent. YEASr.-I1R the morning set three yeast cakes, one quart lukewarm wa ter, and six heaping iroa spoonfuls of1 flour, mixed well together; let rise i a warm place until noon. Then take twelve large potatoes, boil, drain, and mash, add one quart cold water, one cup of sugar, one tablespoonful of salt, and one teaspoonful of ginger. When lukewarm add the yeast and let rise over-night; in the morning it is ready for use. BREAD.--get in the morning one quart of this yeast, one quart of luke warm water, and flour to mix hard. Let rise until light. Mould into loaves and let rise again; bake about one hour. This amount of dough makes six medium-sized loaves of bread.

At the State Prcss Association held in Charleston two weeks ago, the following resolution was unanimously adopted by a rising vote: Since the last meeting of the State Press Association two of its members have been removed by death, Messrs. Thomas Grene ker and David J. Caiter. Your committee appointi'to draft suitable resolntions on their deatbs hqeg leave to report the follow 1nleeul, That in the d-ath of Thomas F. Greni ker, formierly editor of the Newberry jembl, and D. J. Cart.'r, (t the Lancaster Led'yr, the State Press Association, here as seabled, feel that a serious loss has been sustained, and that the State has been de prived of two of its most eartest advocates of right and justice. One of these had passed well into the evening of life, and one stood still fresh and vigorous, hardly passed into its merilian. One had for sev eral yearn laid aside the editorial pen, his brow still crowned with tLe undying laurel wreath, while the other was ealled from his desk and his labors to his eternal rest. Res.ded, That in the death of Thomas F. Greneker. the members of the association feel a peculiar grief, since he for many years was the treasurer of the South Caro lina State Press Association, and was among the foremost in its organization, sharing with the older members the labor of build ing it up and preserving it, that we might at this day reap its benefits. Resolved, That a page in our record book be properly inscribed to the memory of these brothers in journalistic fraternity, and that each and every paper in the State be requested to publish these resolutions. T. B. Cnrtws, W. L. McDoncALD, H. M. AYEn, Committee. The following resolutions relative to Miss Hannah Hemphill were introduced by Ed itor Hull, of Rock Hill, and unanimously adopte.l: Resolved, That we, the State Press Asso ciation of South Carolina, in annual meet ing assembled, at Summerville, S. C., May 2, 1890, recognize the presence of Miss Hannah Hemphill, the accomplished, tal ented local reporter of the Abbeville .fedhim, and esteem her presence an honor to the profession of which in South Carolina she is the bright, particular star. Resolved, That, appreciating and honor ing her as the represi ntative of that refine ment, grace, and culture that have ever char acterized the women of South Carolina, we hereby tender her an honorary membership in our association. Resol'ed, That all the papers in South Carolina be requested to publish these reso lutirns. The Great Spring Tonic. W. H. Gilbert, Druggist, Albany, Ga., writes: "We are selling large quantities of Swift's Specific for a spring alterative and general health tonic, and with best results. It is now largely used as a preventive and cure tor malaria. There are many remarka ble evidences of its merits in this section." Rehv. L. B. Paine, Macon, Ga., writes: "We have been using Swift's Specific at the orphans' honie as a remedy for blood com plaints and as a general health tonic, and have had remarkable results from its use on the children and employees of the institu tion. It is such an excellent tonic, and keeps the blood so pure, that the system is less liable to disease. It has cured some of our children of scrofula." Treatise on blood and skin diseases mailed free.

Entron Aarnarcas ANTrTTAarIAX:- -UIncas, sac'hem of the Mohegans, was one of the most celebrated Indian rulers that ever lived in New Enghtr'd. While he wa. undoubt edly a man of ability, he also appears to have possessed a tyrannical and cruel dis pnition. His death oenried somnethiing over two centuries ago. Samuel Brushel, who is said to have been the last descendant of Uneas, died1 in Connecticnt inuring- the year 1882. At the time of his death the following intereting item appeared in the New York Wll: "Nonw'rcu, CoNx., Nov. 20.-Leading cit izens of Norwich turned out in the snow storm to-day to attend the burial in Yantic cemetery of the last descendant of Uneasq, the great Mohegan sachemn. The coffin plate bore the inscription, 'Samuel Brushel, aged 37.' Brushel was a poor, shiftless man, and was fatally injured some weeks ago by a fall from a tree. He was proud of his In dian blood, and claimed that the remnant of the Mohegan tribe here were half-breeds. Not one of his tribe attended the funeral. U~ncas, for political reasons, befriended the early settlers here, .and much interest has always been taken in his descendants." McDox'Au.n FUturN. Ramsey. S. C. Disease lies in ambush for the weak; a feeble const.tution is ill adapted to encoun ter a malarious atmosphere and sudden changes of temperature, and the least robust are usually the easiest victims.

Sta'ckhouse, of Marion, for Governor. Good nomination, brother, but you have waited too long. Farmer Ben Tfillmnan, of Edgeflild, is the man the farmers want now, -en. Stackhouse is wanted elsewhere, and if you'll pronase to keep qui.:t, we'll tell ou where they propose to place him-in Congress. The fact is patent, brother, that the farmers are paying very little attention to newspaper nominations. Brother, the truth is this: Farmer Tillman is the head md front of the farmiers' tuov'ement, and the farmers propose to treat him a little better than the Demuocratii' party didl Gen. Gary in 1876, by making himi Governor. That's it, brother, so get ready to "fidl in."- Jarlhoro Dmoem't. DEAFNESS CAN'T BE CURED by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion ot' the ear. There is rnly one way to cure Dear'ness, and that is bv constitutional remedies. Deafness is einsed by an inflamed condition of the mu cos lining of the Eustachiian Tube. When this tube gets infiamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless thein fiammation can be taken out and this tube restor'ed to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catairh, which is nothing b~ut an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

It gave me an appetite, and my food relished and satisfied the craving I bad previously experienced. It relieved me of that taint, tired, aln-gone feeling.
