day afternoon after which they were
marched up into the armory where an
election of officers took place with the
following result:
Captain-. I. Bagnal.

Lesesne, and A. P. Burgess.
Quarter Master-P. B Mouzon.
Corporals-W. T. 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.

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.

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.

FAlrTOR .TA\\i. TrMs:--The campaign

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

1 want to know what good is the office un
less the officer is emipowveretd to carry out
the objects of the creation of said oflice.
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.

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. One of Sumter's
most popular citizens tells mec that Tillman
will carry the popular vote of ,iumter. An
inflnential gentleman of Orangeburg tells
me Tillman is solid in his county. I had
the pleasure of meeting your correspondent
"Occasional," who saye, in Colleton county,
where he lives, it is solhd for Tillman.

IDEAF~NESS CAN'T BE CURED
blocal applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased piortion of' the ear. There is
only one way to cure Deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
casdb ninflamed condition of the mu
conshlinguof the Eustachian Tube. WVhen
this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the infiammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases ont of ten are caused by eatarrh, ivhich
is nothing but an intiamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollsrs for
any case of Deafness (caused by Catarrh)
that we cannot cure by taking Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.
