The Manning Guards had a fine drill on the court house square Mon day afternoon after which they were marched up into the armory where an election of officers took place with the following result: Captain-.

Wilder, A. W. Knight, J. H. Rligby, and John Thames. Before the election of oficeers took place Capt. Levi announced that he would no longer serve as Captain. Obtained Money Fraudulently. Merchants should be very careful how they receive bank checks, as one of our accomodatinig business men was treated rather mean by a man, who wanted five dollars for a check on the Bank of Manning. The mer chant thinking it would be all right handed the man a five dollar bill, whereupon the mean fellow wrote out hi check but worded it, "Don't pay to M. Kalisky, or order, five dollars." Of course when the check was pre sented to the c-ashier it was prompt ly refused payment as the bank hv the face of the check was forbid den to pay same. When Mr. Kalisky was shown the wora "don't" on the check, he said something more forci ble than polite. Mr. Kalisky should have such a mean fellow arrested for obtaining money fraudulently. Customers are Pleased. M. Kalisky says that his trade is increasing daily, and he is satisfied that his customers are pleased with his goods and the treatment they re ceive at his hands. He says he will endeavor- to continue meriting the c~onfidence of the purchasing- public ~y giving them value received for Lheir money. He has laid in a very ine assortment of clothing, hats, shoes, anid dry goods; also, as fine stock of family groceries as can be found anywhere. All that he asks is for the people to give him a call, and he will offer them such inducements as will make them permanent cus tomers. - Local. Full end elegant assortment of ladies', misses', and children's hats and trimmings .an be found at Mrs. M. 0. Bargess's store. Ladies wishing such goods are invited to call. Those goods arc unusually attractive. and prices remarkably low. Buying and selling for cash makes quite a difference in c.Intrmma hats from Soc. up. Council Proceedings. Town council held a meeting last iMonday night, which was one of the most important they have ever held. A full council was present, and the matter relating to the building of a town hall was thoroughly discussed. The petition of the citizens, which was published last week in the TirEs, was read and considered, but it having been announced that some of the pe titioners had since signing the peti tion changed their minds. Council decided to ask the citizens to assen 'ble next Monday afternoon in the court house to discuss the advisabili ty of building said hall. In this step the council did right, as they are handling other people's money, and by calling this meeting they show to the citizens that they are willing to undertake this impor tant project providing the people are willing to undergo the expense. Council received a letter from a certain firm offering to supply the town with disinfectants. The letter was referred to the board of health, with the request that they make a re port to the next meeting. Several ordinances were adopted and ratified, which in substance are as follows: To assess a tax on all real and pereonal property, of twenty cents on every one hundred dollars; fixing the street tax at two dollars; taxing persons engaging in the busi ness of hauling, carting, or drafing; requiring all persons not residents of the town to pay a license of ten dol lars per week for the privilege of of fering for sale any horses, mules, etc. Council decided to do away with the licenses on beef, pork, and other eatables, to take effect on and after the 10th day of June. The abolish ing of the market license is a good thing as it has had the effect, of keep ing persons away from us who would have brought their meats into the town had it not been for the license. People in the country can now bring into the town anything in the nature of beef, pork, mutton, poultry, and all other things to eat, without being forced to pay a license to sell same. Other matters were discussed by cogncil of which the opening of cer tain ditches and drains were the most important. It is the general opinion of council that it is to the best inter est of the towl' to have a thorough draining of all low places. They pro pose to spend the people's money for keeping the town in its present healthy state, and also for such improvements as are necessary and advantageous. Jordan News and Politics. EDITOR MAN-NIN TEmR:-ince my last communication to the Tmrs poli ties has grown somewhat warm in this community. The topic of con versation is "Ben Tillman" and who will be our next governor. The great question is Tillman, the people's choice. Are there not other men, I mean farmers, in the State that would please the people more than Tillman? who would give the majority more satisfaction? who would make a bet ter governor ? a man that has not paved his way for office? Surely there are. Since his speech at An derson every farmer seems to be "red hot" for Tillmnan simply I suppose be cause the address contained a few facts of every day truth and a little common sense, and what prompted it more it came from a farmer. I no tice some papers have gone so far as to say, "It has come to such a pass in South Carolina that people can take the law in their own hand without the least apprehension of punishment." I have never read or heard of such before. Perhaps the allusion was made to the lynching at Lexington some time ago. If so let me ask if there is a single State in the Union that would not protect her wives and daughters ? I think not, and sincere ly trust such a State does not exist. Aside from this if Clarendon county was unfortunate enough to have a similar crime committed, I venture the assertion she could not endure it, for there are too many good men here to see the law take its course the sec and time and the guilty go unpunish ed. And if Mr. Tillman was govern or it would not help the cause at all, although he may be a "bull dozer" or a "fire eater." I am no politician, nor do I care to take sides with the Till mans or the Antis, but let's stick to our present governor while he is in office. If we are, as some think, sup porting "a ring" perhaps we may sup port a much larger one if politics wag too heavy. Chopping cotton is the order of the day in this section. Crops generally are very good. Grass too is looking very healthy, but the farmers are tak ing advantage of the fine weather for killing it. Mr. Stokes of the Southern Mer chants' Commercial Agency addressed the Sunday-school at this place last Sunday (children's day.) Mr. Stokes is a good Christian gentleman and has made friends here. The Juneville and Foreston baseball clubs will cross bats on the grounds of the latter next Thursday afternoon, 22nd inst. Foreston is expected to do some very fine playing as we learn they have had considerable practice on the diamond this season. Messrs. Sprott & Webber have been very successful with their incubator. They have taken off about 85 or 90 chicks, and the "old hen" is sitting again. 0 Politics at Pinewood. PINEWooD, May 19.--Plitor Moming Times: This is my first letter to your pa per which is growing in popularity every day, because of the bold and noble stand you have taken with the farmers of this county. This is my first pop gun in the Tilman campaign. I am a Tillmanite, true blue. Who dares question it? I am a free man, a Democrat deeply dyed. I believe in a white man's country, and this State be longs to the white man. I believe in no fusion with niggers, Radicals, or Independ ets, bnt straight-ontismi. Tillmian is this nd of a man, and let us follow him to the last ditch. I am for J. E. Tindal for State Senator; J. M. Richardson and James E. Davis for the House of Representatives; D. J. Bradhanm ,for Anditor: S. A. Nettles for School Comn missioner: Louis Apipelt for Probate JTudge; and S. J. Bowman for Treasurer. I am for T. A. Way for county commissioner. He has been the best this county has eve-r had. His roads and bridges show it; bis diligence to dnty proves it. I am for rooting State house and county rings, and for abolishing the Columbia club, Mockabee of the Chester Agricnltural Col lege, and all. This is my platform: I stand on it: I will work for it. A certain county paper makes us smile ! Oh how it loves the 'farmers ! Fool who ? not these old mice. That paper will love us better when the Tillmanites eat it up, cheese and all. Read This Offer. Having become convinced from ob servation that there are many persons in the county who are not now taking the MANNINo Tms 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 MANNIan Ti-ws 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. Tillman's Strengith Daily Inereasing. Editor The m T7es:--i have been reading, thinking, antd talking about our county as well as our State politics, and have come to the conclusion that Tilluan will sweep things pretty clean by July or August, if not before. I am sure he is gain ing ground every day. I bave been reading some more of those obnoxious editorials in the News and Courier, and while I do not expect to get any good out of it, for there is no good in it, never was, and never will be, yet you know it is necessary to read other papers than those that advocate certain prin ciples, in order to draw what we term a cen tral conclusion: and this we have drawn, that Capt. Tillman will be our next govern or. But I see by the Charleston World, as well as by the News and Courier, that those old political ringsters and tricksters are still trying to devise some ilan to defeat Capt. Tillman. The last resort is to try to induce Senator Hampton to step down a step or two for their special accommodation. To do that would be beneath his dignity. We, the sons of old South Carolina, have crowned Senator Hampton with all the honors that we could bestow upon him, anct we do not believe that he will allow himself to be placed upon the altar of sacritice for such a purpose as is here concerned. Bnt if he did, we would surely show him that we farmers know a little something about the workings of politics. We feel sure, however, that Senator Hampton will not condescend to do such a thing. We believe him to bea man of superior stamp to that. Haupton knows as well and better too than we do that Capt. Tillman is one among the men who is the cause, and the prime cause, of his occupy ing the position that he now holds. All we want is fair play: that we ask, that wu'll have. I think the Stato Executive Committee had better begin to think up some plan for right ing the wrong, as Capt. Tiilman styles it, in regard to the Charleston, Richland, and Hampton county delegations. I think it would be o good idea to call for a connittee on credentials on the day that the regular nominating convention meets, in order to sift these things down to their proper standard, for we don't propose that Charles ton, Itichland, or Hampton county shall have two delegates to our one. Well, I will close for the present by say ing that we are all working hard down here, and we want everybody else to work too. We are trying to be law-abiding citizens also. Stand up for Democracy and keep within the bounds of the constitution, for it is only bad boys that does bad tricks. PAoIa Fso-:n. Dyspepsia's victims are numbered by thousands. So are those who have been re stored to health by Hood's Sarsaparilla. Didn't Advance Prices. Moses Levi is offering the cheapest and best assortment of dry goods ev er opened in the town of Manning at very low figures. He says that he intends to give his customers the advantage of buying their summer goods cheaper than they have ever bought before, and that he is prepared to compete with any dry goods establishment in the State. Mr. Levi bought his goods this year to such an advantage that he has no hesitancy in saying that he can please all who desire to buy for cash. He has nowv in stock the finest and best assorted stock of shoes ever placed on his shelves, and he will guarantee that for quality and prices he will compare them with any mai ket, as he had them made especially for his trade and with an eye single to prevent the necessity of people going elsewhere when they wvant a good shoe. The clothing counters of Mr. Levi are filled with the very latest styles of goods and patterns, and if a person wants a good suit of summer clothing he will be pleased when he examines this stock. If a man wants a pretty shaped straw hat lhe certainly can find what he wants when he goes into this es tablishment, as we venture the asser tion that no hat store in the State has a finer assortment. Mr. Levi can and will sell family and plantation groceries very low, as he bought a tremendous stock of flour, sugar, coff'ee, bacon, and molastses while they were cheap, and nowv that these goods have advanced in prices he proposes to let his customers buy them without adding on the advanced prices. Rt is a pleasing sight to go into his store and see the magnificent lines that he. carries, and more grati fying is it to see the determination on the part of Mr. Levi not to allow any one else to undersell him. Come to Manning and visit this es tablishment and you will get all the attention that gentlenmenly and expe rienced clerke can give y-ou, together with the prospect of getting wvhat you want at prices to please.

TrMs:--The campaign is progressing, and with the opposition things are distressing, because after years of caressing the ungrateful farmers want a change. Now the question is will they get a ebangel As far as Clarenoin county is concerned ' mi satist1ie that the farners have deter. iined to do their pait towards a change, and that every man will make it his busi ness to watch from now until the delegates are e-ted to see who is the friend or ene my cf the farmer. The political. atfairs of this State have been divided into two sides, with a patriotic agreement to let the dilfer ences be until our reiiocratic convention assembles as the arbitrator of our differ ences, and then, when that great body cni posedt of the true and noble sons of Sonth Carolina shall render a decision all heads will nod in assent, and a shont from the throats of every true and loyal Democrat will go up to seal the verdiet and to pledge their honor and hfe. if need be for its sup port. Then with such an understanding with each other it is all bosh for the cry to be raised that "the Democratic party will be di vided and ruined if the farmers persist in wanting Tillnan for -overnor." They say that the farmers had no right to call the con vention in March, becanse by doing .so it gave the man suggested by that body a start ahead of everyblodv else. Grant this to be true, as I believe it is, what crime has been committed ? Have we not been taught by our former leaders that it some times pays to take advantage of your opponents? Sneh a lesson was taught us by our old leaders when Hlagooid was nominated in a conven tion that was called for the purpose of elect ing delegates to a national convention, and for nothing else. But that was all right. Their man was nominated, even if it was an "inovation," but now when we as an as sociation have t meeting, and that meeting made up of true and unadulterated Demo crats, proposes to make a suggestion to the Democratic convention, a howl is raised, and the cry is "a fight is being niade ont side of the Democratic party," and they tear about pretending to prove that if Tillian succeeds he will lead us where Mahone lead the people of Virginia. Mahone is always cited as a precedent, but these fellows must -inderstand that in order to con- ince a peo ple that they are wrong their first step should be to convince people that they themi selves know what they are talking about, and before they accuse ;'illan of trying to blind our eyes in order that he may follow in the foot steps of Mahone it would be well for them to go to the trouble to find ont who and what Tillman is, else they might find out, when it is too late, that they have been ignorantly slandering an honest man. The Virginia fight was not like ours. They had diTferent ruleS and regnlations to govern their polities and party; they had no pledge to abide the result of aL Democratic conven tion as we have; an-l as a natural cone q nence they did not feel that they were in honor bound to "stand to and submit to the choice if their own party." In South Carolina things are entirely dinereit. When a mian becoieis a candidate before our peo ple it is understood that he is a candidate for Democratic votes and none others, therefore there is no chance to cater for the vote of the Independent or Republican. Ben Tilhuan has been called to lead the farmnrs in a light against a set of men that have be n in a position to be of gr.-at ser vice to the farmers, and we have waited pa tiently for men thus honored by us to give ns relief, bn.t instead of relieving us of our burdens they are continually adding fresh burdens upon us by opening up new offices and filling thei with men who have taken up an idea that because their fathers once held some State ofiiee they mnst now be pensioned with a fat oilic that is no good and little seirvice to tihe people. Take the ofice of commissioner of agri culture that is being supported direct from the pockets of the farmecrs, and in the name of reason what "nod is i, when the commiis sioner says himself wh1ien charged with not gmvng the fairming interest the protection for which his 'olhice wais created, that he is carrying out the la asi- it is. and can do nothtng moert ?

Nowv why has not the commissioner the right or piower to put a stop to this fraud? for fraud of the deepest dye it is. I imiag inc that if some tinsophisticated farnmr were to get up in the legislature and offer a bill to make it a peniitentiary crime for a firm, syndicate, or corporation, to rob, sten!, and defraud the farmer out of his hard earnings by selling him sawdust and rosin for cotton seed meal, that somte fellow that wears a standing collar and gold rimmed eyeglasses would indignantly raise himself 'in his seat and offer some parliamentary choker that would so confas;e the poor farm er that lie would heave a sigh and give up his bill, and if that sharp parliamentarian that choked the farmer statesman off were f'lowed you wvould find that he holds his seat by the State legislure refusing to carry ot the constitution to reapportion the State, and that he hails fromi Charleston or Columbia, and has the authority to sign himself as attorney for such and such phos phate comipany. When we through the newspapers that have taken an interest in our cause say any thing about these things wec are ordered to shut tip or prove our charges. Well, we underr~ke to put in the proof. and as soon as we commence, a yvlp goes up~ and we are accused of lying and of being "intincere" and.

PANOLA, May 19.-Flirw 3me9-a* t Thaes. What a lovely day was May 14th ! Its charmt were fully devehuped when old Sol's bright rays shone amidst the tree tops in bristling rays of beautiful grandeur. The birds chirped and sang their lyric songs, while nature's balmy breezes wafted the wind from the mounutains to the sea shore. The rustling travel of vehiel's evinced no small degree of ara.iety to in;et the morning train Which was on the road carrying a nnuber of exenraioi.- to Entawville. As far up as eye could louk we beheld the rolling cars coming lo -r and nearer, till at last in fnll view they reacthed Silver, crowded to over flowing with Snmter's charming ladies, to gether with old, imiddle aged, and young, who were all on their way to the picnic grounds. This delightful group of Sum ter's popular magnetic attractions was joined by two of Silver's lovely daughters, Misses Leise Brailsford and Miss Janie Jenkin son, and by Messrs. E. P. Briggs and Ash ley Briggs. The iron horse pulled away for Samierton. At this depot we found Mr. E. H. Belser and wife, and Misses Caro Bel ser and Nannie Richardson, two of Sum merton's most attractive young ladies, wait ing to join the excursion. Rapid and fast was the transit which sped our way onward over the great Santee trestle, to which all eyes were tnrned as we passed the great and wonderful deep. Thanks to the beloved preserver of life that not a single accident, not a iipple of uneasiness, crossed our bos onis while under the care of Conductor Simpson, and of Col. 1. W. Fowler, the gen eral mauiager. The ride over the trestle and river was as beautiful and pietnresque as the ocean of life. On reaching Vances others joined the party. By this time Sumter, Clarendon, and Orangeburg vied with each other, touched elbows and hearts to make the occasion grand and joyful. We reached Entawville early on time, Col. Christopher Gaillard was in waiting with wagon-is, carriages, and buggies to carry us to the picnic grounds, one nile distant trora the railroad. A lovely spot had been chosen, where a long table was fixed at the palatial rcsidence of Col. Gaillard, of Eu tawville. Tiie honse was a large, roomy building, a more fitting, suitable building could not well be chosen. Dancing com menced soon after the arrival of the excur sion, and the young folks seemed to enjoy life to their heart's content. During the day most if not all paid a visit to Entaw Springs, that old historic ground of revolution fame. The spring was novel to many. Eutawville has every ap pearance of amte belhma4ays. Its surround ings, its fine summer residences leads you to believe that this portion of upper St. Johns Parish once abounded in vast and luxurious wealth. Dinner was annonuced abont two o'clock. All I need say in behalf of the ladies of Sumter would be simply to say that the din ner was grand. Of all the dainties furnished on this occasion nothing could exeel their most cordial and liberal hospitality. 81n11 ter looked to be in the zenith of her glory. Amiable ladies and kind gentlemen made lasting impressions on our mind. The committee of arrangements, Dr. Archie China and Mr. H. M. Sanders, deserve the greatest praise. At 5 o'clock in the after ucon another table was prepared, loade. with sweet meats, cake, ice cream, lemonade, strawberries, in fact nothing could excel anything of the kind we have ever attended. After this Innch all returned to the cars, and at forty minutes past seven o'clock we turned our faces homeward with only recol lection of pleaant memories of the past. We had i-ut little time to talk politics, but the political pot is boiling in the low coun try as well as the up country. Tilhuanism seems to be a contagious mania. I suppose there is more interest, more anxiety, over Tillman's election or nomination for gov ernor than ever remembered by the oldest men. His enemies say his nomination will be ruinous to the State, his friends siay he is the man for the times.
