We have before urged caution and conservatism in the use of language, and again we wish to impress upon our people that we are neighbors, friends, brothers, and that this rela tionship should be carefully consider ed before giving expression to any language calculated to wound the feelings of another. In politics and religion all words are more deeply weighed than in any other department of life. If one has convictions, and he sees fit to proclaim these convic tions from the housetop, that is all right, and although we may differ from him very widely in opinion and have very little respect for his judg mont, yet we must honor him for his candor and have respect for his sin cerity. It will not do, it will not pay, to say harsh things about my neigh bor because his opinions do not fit my mould. We cannot afford thus to make enemies. Use, if you so desire, all the persuasive and ratiocinative pow ers at your command, but don't at tempt to browbeat or bulldoze. And having failed to convince your man, don't tell him that you are a Solon, while he is only a milksop, and his views unworthy any self-respecting man. Such will only cause his opin ions to be more deeply fixed; and more than that, will not only make him your enemy but will cause him to lose what respect he did have for you, Be careful, cautious, considerate. THE TOWN BALL. The TmS feels extra -good this week, for last Monday the citizens in meeting assembled decided by an overwhelming vote to request tbe town to build the hall, and the same evenng the town council by a unani mous vote decided to build a hall with two stores underneath at a cost of $5,000. This is a genuine step for ward into prosperity, and the future Of Manning has already brightened. We have privately and publicly done all we could to further this ob ject, believing it to be for the good of the town, and now we feel glad that the town is about to show a progres sive spirit. It must not and shall not stop here. The railroad and fire en gine next, and in the near future, too. The meeting last Monday was comn poseLaaepresetative.ajga pro gressive a body of citizens of tis town as we have ever seen assemble in the court house. The afternoon was rainy, and prevented the attend Sance of a good many, but the fol lowing persons were present: E C Horton, L Appelt. A Levi, M1 Levi. A Weinberg, J M Knight, S A Nettles, D M Raham, W K Bell, S WVolkoviskie, S A Bigby, A WV Knight, M. Kalisky, Dr W S Pak rWEBon anl H Les -esne, P B Mouzon, J F Rhanme, Hi A Lowry, ~aj PG Benbow, G H Huggins, N M John -son, Capt D J Bradhanm, S J Bowman, T M1 -Keels, J L Rowe, W E Burgess, MaLj H H Lesesne, Israel James, Willis Davis. *The meeting was organized by electing Moses Levi, chairman, and 3. M. Knight, secretary. The chair man stated the object of the meeting, after which Capt. A. Levi introduced the following:. jWHErms the town council of the towri of Manning has through a call published in the MANNIN'G TDrES and the Clarendon Enterqnise requested that the citizens of said to vn do as semble in the court house on Monday afternoon at five o'clock for the pur ~poee of discussing the advisability of erecting a town hail in said town; and Wurma the citizens of said town in meeting assembled, realizing and appreciating the necessity for im provment, and feeling assured that ~the erection of a town hall will prove a great benefit to our town; therefore be it Resolved, That it is the serse of this meeting that the town council be re quested to build at as early a day as is expedient a towvn hail with two stores underneath. Resolved, That the choice of loca tion be left entirely to the discretion of the town council. Resolved. That a committee of three be appointed to wait on the council at their meeting to-night, to present them with these resolutions and to further this cause in any way they deem proper. A number of speeches were made. but Messrs. D. J. Bradham, A. Levi, and S. A. Nettles were specially ur gent and enthusiastic in advancing the building of the hail; while Joseph F. Rhame, Esq., seeing no necessity for such an institution, fought the measure to the finish. After the res olutions had been freely and fully dis cssed to the heart's content of all present the final vote was taken, only four voting against the measure. Messrs. S. A. Nettles, A. Levi, s'id D. J. Bradham were then appointed a committee to wait on the town coun ci; after which the meeting adjcurned. Tiliman or Anti-Tillmnan. It is Anti-Tillman or Tillmnan now. There is no middle ground. It is show where you stnd or get nothing. At least it should be that way. If things keep up as they have trted, every one who gets an office this 'Tall will be known as an Anti-Tillmnan or a Tilman man. If Mr. Tilhinan does nothing else he shall have done good for the State if he succeeds in making every man who gets an office hereafter to tell exactly what he thinks of the various public questions of the day. But whether or not individual opinions on all public questions are made known, individual opinions of Mr. Tillman will be demanded as a test of the eligibility of a candidate for the vote of either side. There are some with whom this will go hard, for hitherto they have been keeping quiet when there were any issues, ardently sup ported and opposed, and on which there would be no crossing of votes. But the people will not allow a man to keep quiet now. He must tell where he stands Talks W i 1i C lar'edon Faria'Ei;. Mr. J. H. Timmons, of the Deep Creek section, was in town Saturday, and was the happy recipient of the appointlent of cen sus enumerator for Mt. Zion township. MIr. Timmons is a prominent and intelligent young Man, and will prove an eficient of ticer. lie tells us that a new Democratic club has been organized in his neighbor hood, to be known as Doctor Swamp club. The officers have been elected as follow-;: J. H. Barnes. president: Jeff. D. Holladay, vice president; and J. H. Timmons, secretarv. The club has already enrolled seventy mem bers, and is Tillman in sentiment unar mously. Most of the memlers aire from the Deep Creek club. The farme rs are fully up with th ir work: erops in a better conditior. than usual; and a larger acreage in cotton is planted. Dr. Paul Sallev, of Pinewood, is in town often, and it is whispered that ere long he will take from us one of our loveliest maid ens. The Doctor says that the lumber bus iness at Pinewood is run on an extensive seale, and that there is a considerable boom in the place. In politics he thinks it about evenly divided between Tillian and Anti Tillm'an. The people all have very tine crop prospects. Anti-Tilhinanite Methods and Sehenies. EDITO. TAsINS; TIME's: -In your last is sue I see that another conferene has been held in the city of Columbia and that three of Clarendon's farmers were among the con ferees, but that nothing could be learned of the result of said conference other than that they vould invite Gen. Bratton or some other prominent farmer to be pitted against Ben Tillman. Ttese gentlemen have a per fect right to hold as many conferences as they please, as they do not draw the ex penses out of the people's pockets, but when they have conferred to their heart's content and find that their efforts to gratify the am bition of some man who has tried before, but could not come it, and that man having had the experience of a burnt child refuses them, then perhaps they will give up their conferences and say to us, "If you will have Tillman take him." I think now the Antis are beginning to weaken as far as trying to defeat 'Tillman is concerned, but they are a revengeful set, and they will watch the movements of every man that aided and abetted in the work of disappointing them, and when our primary comes on, it is there where they will get in their spite work. Some o1 the Antis say that they will carry .: against Tillman if they have to resort to the scheme of running Tillman men against each other for county offices, and when things get thoroughly heated they will step in and forum combinations with the friends of a candidate, and thereby se cure the promise of a support for Anti-Till man delegates to our county convention; others say that the lines will be drawn tight l, and that every candidate from Senator to Cominiissionel: will be voted for as against Tillman or for him. In this case there will be lttle chance for fence riding. Now while I have no respect for a fence rider, I do think that in order to qualify a man for the position for which he is aspiring, that should not be a qualification: some other qualification should be more necessary than the knowledge that he will hurrah for or against Tiliman. Simply because a man declares his intention to give his vote to my man should not and will not intiuence me to vote for him: he should be thoroughly competent to till the office, and if he is an old officer and is standing for re-election, then the question to my mind will be, has lie done his duty and given satisfaction. If I am satisfied on these points then I will vote for him. I am glad to say that I am free from that narrow-mindedness that is embodied in some people. Why things have become so that a man will not hesitate to impart the 'mrpris ing information to you that you are a "dam phool" if you should be so unfortunate as to disagree with him, and others have taken up a notion that they are better than other people, and to convince you of that fact they will tell you that no "decent man will vote for Tillman." The other day a Democratic club in an adjoining county had a meeting and becatuse a miajority of the members endorsed the farmrs' candidate and platformu, a fe'w rail road employees and some others withdrew their memb.ashiaad org'anized another b.When th1s'news first re-aahi-d moe I felt somewhat alarmed for the farmers' cause, for when the emiployees of a rich cor pration like a railroad company seceeded from the Gourdins club and organized a new club at Lanes, it made me feel as though there might be trouble, so I wvrote to a friend and asked him to advise mec as to the course I must pursue: whether it would be a patri otic mission in men to go to Lanes and bring about a compromise, or to telegraph for Mr. Tillman. Miv friend writes back that lit had never heard of Lanes before, and that he made a search of all the maps he could ind '.ut without sucess. He thinks thait 1 am miistaken in the name, as he is satistied 'that he knows the name of every place in South Carolina that has a population of over twenty persons, and I believe he does, as he has been a traveling salesman for a num ber of years, but he was fortunate enough to escape Lanes. especially at night, other wis,. he woul certainly remember Laues and its froggy populace. I believe in free thought, tree speech, and free action. I do not believe in newspa per boycott, because if we allow oarselves to remain ignorant ot' what the enemy are doing they will slip upon us, when we are not lookirng for them, therefore do not stop yoursubcripionto a newspaper be-cause theedior oesnotwrite his editorials to pleaec you, or the correspondents do not mention your namie in their commiumeca tions, but continue the paper that you hai-e been taking and if you wvant nmore light subscribe to the newspaper whose seaiu ments are in accord withi your own. The MasNsoG Tntzs is daily grow'ig in Ipopularity down here, because its senti ments are the sentiments of a majority ol our people, e.nd with the exception of a few "decent" men in our little tovwn, wvho will not join the "skim milk" crowd. everrybody approves of the course puirsued by lie March convention, and endorses 11. R. Till mian for governor. There have been instances in the history of nations that the ambition of' somet mn was the dowvnfall of themxe,~lve's and the' friends they desired to push forward. We have in this county a v'ery p~opuhlr repre sentative wvhose success in ptolities has been stading as a roc'ky ob-tacle- in the way ofa man wh'o loves the "-deair people" but wanmts 'to go to the legislature, and his love for the peole is so great that he is willing to mnake a sacrifice, but he knows thait it will he too niuch of a dec-p creek for him to wade as lon as this popnlair re.presenttive is in the hearts of the people. Then w;ha is the plan to be adopted to sm'ash this idol?' A call is iimde by the' aristocrticeconferces to assemble for the pulrpose of fixing thinigs to defeat the fartners out of thei wisu'hes, and this ambitious man gets 'a pomneut relative of our popular representative to. attend the conflerence in order that tihe peo pe maiy think that our representative is not Idoing his~ duty towei'ds the farimers' cause, or he would have tried to prevent this near reltxiv f~romn attending a mee ting whlire tha onl object was to miake a fight against the commoii people in order to keep in posltion mien wvhom the-y know have grown enrel!es? nd ind itent with theirofis;aate hae held these offices so long that they are trying to retain them by possession, andI think if our people do not rise now, anti with one steady pull tear these set-fasts loose, then in two more years they will claime their offices by the statute of limitation. I have nio doubt that this relative that we-nt to Columbia was lead to believe that he would be doing the country a great service if he would go and lend his counsel t, the~ "kid glove gang." 1 know that it was somLe such motive that induced him to go. because he is a good man and I do not believe him to be anything else than a fi'iend to the farm. er, but he needs moore light, antd beinga man whom I believe open to conviction, I think a Tillman muissionary had better give him a call and show him the actual griev ances of the farmiers, and wherein he would be wrong to raise his hand or voice in op) position to Tillman and the far'mers' move nent. If this be done my word for it, the scales will drop from his eyes, and he will become an earnest supporter of 'Tillman and reform and by doing so he wvill break into toms every particle of hope to crush our popular representative, that is now being entertained by some peCople; but it' he will not listen to reason, and allows his infatu ation for the old timers to carry himi away' from his brother farmers, then he will learn, wwhen to recant wvill be useless, that the " mills grind slowly but surely." I think it is nearly time for our county committee to meet in order that they may issue an order for the Democratic ALs to organize. .ly neilibors are all ansions to have their names enrolled so they naty mee their fellow imemllbeflrs at the Chil meetings and discuss the important qunesti1ns tiat are now being agitated. We propose' to give imore attentioii t- the club ilieetings th:al we have doie inl I he past. As we have sonmething to look it for we will all turl out and enter into the dif ferent discussions and try to convince those who are honestly differing from us now that we are only fighting for what we deew ja-.t and right, and that we do not mean to in jure any class or profession. A great nmanV persons are differing from us because they have ben led to beheve by the opposition that if we succeed we will be Sold out by Tiihoan and marche'd into the Radical cailup: and as sonl as we eCfn Vince these people that such talk i:: what n:av1 he properly termd "campaign slan der" then they will throw up their doubts and join us. I see that Tillman is being snapped at Iy all tie political nec in the State, and I hcope thakhe will lay out his pian of camtpaigi and not allow tlese fellows to provoke huu from his course. Nothing would be mlore gratifying to the opposition than to fling an insult into the face of our leader .ust to make hin reseit it, and thereby cause a bi: row and get somebody hurt, just to show him up to the world that he is not the prop er mcan to be the chief peace ofliee.r of the State. He will not loIsc a siile vote by following the course laid out by or for iiimi, and well can he ah'ord to let these fellows Publish their braggadocio challenges, be cause we poor, ignorant farmers know ex actly what they are driving at. The people of Anderson did right when thev intornmed Mr. Dcrgan that they prefer red him not to speak at their meeting, and I think it would be well if some of the other counties would dolikewise, because no peo pIe desire to hear a man whose sole purpose is to create confusion which means tic good to theiaseives or the party. iarmers, get your crops in good c.,ndition so that you can afford to go to the county seat on the 2(ith of July. Every liai niust turn out and give our leader sneh a w'lcome as he has never had before, let him s-e that we mean to make him governor if every other county in the State deserts him, and that the old county leaders who are oppos ing us may depend on it that if they will ride, they must ride in Tillman wagons.

If you want to see the trae cause of all our serious troubles just open your eyes and behold the radical party of these United tates of America with one foot upon the neck of the Republican part, and thec other uphifted to degrade in a similar manner the great Demnocratic party of our co'untry. ne not deceied gentleigen.

Colin starcn is lIucl iinprovr-d by the additioni (f spe-rin or1 salt, or both, or :1 little gum arable diss;olved. A tablespooniul of turpentine, boil ed with your while clothes will greatly aid tile whileniigprocss. Kerosene will soften boots and shoes thalt have been hardenedl by water, and will render them as pliable as new. Thoroughly wetting the hair once or twice with a solution of salt and water will keep it from falling out. CO'e tEasponful of :unnUinIia to a teacup of water applied with a rag will eleatuse silver or gold jewelry per fectly. Salt will curdle new milk, hence, in preparing porridge, gravies, etc., salt should not be added until the dish is prepared. Paint stains that are dry and old may be renoved from cotton or wool en goods with chloroform. It is a good plan to first cover the spot with olive oil or butter. Clear boiling water will remove tea stains; pour the water through the stain and thus prevent its spreading over the fabric. Charcoal is recommended as an Ab sorber of gases in the milk room where foul gases tu e present. It should be freshly powdered ani kept there continually, especi:dIly in hot weather, I when unwholesome odors are most lia ble to infect the milk. By applying kerosene with a rag when yon are about to put your stoves away for the summer, you will prevent thein from rusting. A teaspoonful of borax put in the last, water in which clothes are rinsed, will whiten thesu surprisingly. Pound the borax so it will dissolve easily. This is especially good to remove the yellow that time gives to white gar ments that have been laid aside for two or three years. crsons advaind in yiars feel yomnger and stronger, as well as freer friom the in I firmities of age, by taking Dr. J.
