Allen Harvin, died of puerperal fever, at her bomne in this place last Sattaday morning, after a. two weeks' illness, aged thirty-four years. She suffered intensely, espec ially the last day or two, and death to her was a happy release. She was an active and consistent member of the Presbyterian church. She was buried last Sunday morning inte town cem etery. Do~ your eyes need help ? If so call on . G Dinkins & Co. and be fitted with a pair of Aqua-Crystal spectacles or eye glass5es. A church conference was held last Sunday morning in the Methodist church in this place. The stewards made a report, stating the assessment of each member, and how much each member had paid. The finances of the church are well up, but so far on ly about one-third of the members have paid anything. The seven stewards pay more than half the as sessent, one member alone paying more than one-fourth. These reports ire to be made quarterly. S. A. Net tles, J. W. McLeod, and J. H. Lesesne were appointed a committee of ar rangements for the District Confer ence to be held in this place next; month. 100 bushels stock pease, on consignment. for t spot cash.

The Guards were out in full uniform, and made a fine appearance. We hope the members will continue to show interest in their company, and that they will make a creditable inspection when Gen. Bonham comes to inspect them. A prize drill will be had in the High School building July 4th, at 8.30 P. M. sharp. The prizes are $5, $2.50, and two boxes of cigars, respectively, for the first, second, third, and fourth best drilled man, and a tin cup for the poorest. The cigars are given, one box by M. Kalisky and the other by Corporal John Thames. Capt. A. Levi gives the two money pr-izes. If on wish to hire a nice horse and buggy1 at a very small cost, go to D. M1. Bradham's ivery Stables. A lage bug flew into Rev. RI. W. Barbers ear one night last week, and at once began to claw its way into the oriice, seemingly dete-rmined to sound it to its greatest depth. But to Mr. Barber it was excruciating ag-; nv, and though he tried his best to stop the progress of the bug he could ot do so. He at once poured a lot of sweet oil into the ear on top the b ug, but to no effect: it would not come out. The pain was intense, and Mr. Barber sought the services f a -physician, but even the physician could not find the bug, and h continued to suffer greatly all night, but next morning, to Mr. Bar ber's great relief, the offending ani mal was found and removed. Mrs. W. A. Barfield also got one of these bugs i her ear last Monday, but got it out in an hour or two. 50) pairs ladies' button and lace cloth gaiters, sizes 2 to -1, real v-alue S1.50, for 50 cnts.

SUMMERTOo, June 9.-The crops are growing finely in this section, and the farmers seem determined that Gen. Green shall submit to their will, al though we are having rain nearly ev ery day. Mr. W. M. Knight got his mill burned last Thursday night. His mill had been running only a week or two. He expects to have it in operation again this week. Mr. M. S. Cantey lost a fine two year-old colt last Saturday. It was in the pasture with the mules and ran against the end of a fence rail, snagging itself so badly that it was necessary to have it shot. Mr. John J. Holladay, one of the oldest land-marks of the Panola see tion, died last Thursday, and was buried at Andrews Chapel. He was one of the oldest citiens of that sec tion, and leaves a large family of chil dren and grand-children. There is some likelyhood of the board of directors of the penitentiary establishing a State farm in the neigh borhood of the Elmwood plantation in this county. There are no finer lands in the State than those spoken of. Mr. Sam Sparks has the contract to build a dwelling and out-buildings on the plantation of Gov. Richardson. Mr. Dolson and wife have procured board with Mrs. Ingram for the sum mer. Mr. Dolson is interested in the lumber business on Santee. Children's day for the Methodists of this place will be on the fifth Sun day in this month. The program will be given later on. Mr. J. C. Lanham left here on Fri day for Spartanburg. C. Kalisky wants; to buy 10,000 pounds green cow hides. If you wish to hire a nice horse and buggy at a very small cost, go to D. 31. Eradham's Livery Stables. Newsy Letter from Silver. SILVER, June 9.-I am somewhat overwhelmed with the idea that pro gress in more ways than one charac terizes the present age. The build ing up of the surrounding community was never more apparent than now improvement all along the line, social ly, religiously, and financially. Silver is noted for its quiet demeanor. The good ladies want to build a chureb, and to this end they toil and work. It was a happy omen on Sat urday to see so many of them assem bled at the depot, selling ice cream, cake, &c., the proceeds to be applied to the church. I never witnessed a more pleasant gathering. Another festival will be given next Saturday afternoon, the 24th. A Democratic club will be organ ized here next Saturday. It is believ ed by many that to wait till the 2nd of August to organize would prove disastrous. This part of the county, as I have said before, are strong Till manites. They say "to be forewarned now is to be forearmd." Considera ble discussion is indulged as to the motives and intentions of the execu tive committee. The conclusion reached by the executive committee has strengthened the cause of Tillman. Col. Earle has no following here. Gen. Bratton seems to be the most popular candidate, and should there be a break from the farmers' candi date, Gen. Bratton will receive their solid support. The question is frequently asked, who will be the senator ? who will be the congressman? what will the farmers do ? will they take a lawyer, or will they want a farmer? Mr. Ed itor, the majority of farmers of this part of the county will not be hard to please. Give them good men, and I think it will quiet the people and ause everything to work harmoni ously. The Academy at Silver has been completed. It will be used for the present for the Sunday-school. The trustees have consented to lend their aid to the religious instruct ion as well as the moral influence of the chil dren. A large Sunday-school will immediately be organized. It will not he denominational. Mr. John J. Holladay, a life-long friend of ours, died suddenly at his home on Thursday morning. Mr. Hol laday was a quiet, unobtrusive citi zen, an uncompromising Democrat, a strong pillar in our church. He has quietly passed away from devoted sons and loving daughters to the bet ter land. We mourn his loss; we deeply sympathize with his bereaved children, and commend them to the source of all heavenly comfort. Capt. W. M. Knight sustained a considerable loss in getting his mill and machinery burned on Thursday night. It is said to be the work of an incendiary. Mr. Knight had just commenced the operation of his mill, and the citizens generally sympathize with him in his loss. Dr. S. C. C. Richardson, of Manning, who is the attending physician of Mrs. C. B. Jones, an aged sick lady of this community, passed through Sil ver to-day to visit his patient. Mr. Willie Jenkinson, one of Mr. Rigby's popular clerks, paid us a call to-day. I suppose he is looking after Sambo and inspecting crops. Crops in this entire section look well. Corn and cotton excel last year. This may be sonme encourage ment to the merchant: it is certainly very cheering to the poor farmer. I will go on Friday. the 13th, to Eutawville-another excursion. I will try to amuse the readers of the Ti.ss. Even if I find it necessary to mix in a little politics I hope it will not nause ate the most delicate stomach, for I intend to give the news just as I find The Tnss is still in favor, and on a great boom. Tx For theLadies! A nice assortment of ladies' collars anid cuffs, rnching, handkercheifs, ve.iing, glove's, fans, buttons, dress shieluds, wh'ale bone, lace caps, laces, emubroideries, ribbons, and millinery goods is to be found at Mrs. 31. 0.

Miss Josie McLean's school at Jor dan will have an exhibition Thursday night, June 19th. Parties can now sell beef, fish, or other eatables in Manning without haying to pay a license. The council have received six more new street lamps, which will be placed where they are needed. Madame Rumor says that orange blossoms will be in bloom in the vicinity of Alcolu on the 18th inst. There is not, and has not recently been, any typhoid fever in town. Two cases of intermittent bilious fever was the nearest approach. Comptroller-General Verner was in town last Friday, to have a settlement with the county treasurer and auditor. A satisfactory settlement was made. The town council has caused disin fectants to be distributed around town, and it is to be hoped that all will see to it that they are properly used. J. G. Dinkins & Co. are agents for the celebrated Aqna-Crystal spectacles and eye glasses. Call and examine them. Buford Bradham, a little son of Mr. and Mrs. Judson Bradham, about nineteen months old, died last Sunday morning. This child had been in del icate health ever since its birth. The remains were interred Monday in the Manning cemetery. If yon wish to hire a nice horse and buggy at a very small cost, go to D. M. Bradham's Livery Stables. The clerk of council was mistaken when he said that all town tax returns must be make by the 10th inst. He should have said the 20th inst., as that is the day fixed by the ordinance. So those that have not made their re turns had better do so before that date and save themselves the fifty per cent. penalty. - A valuable treatise on the care and pres ervation of the cyes given away to each one of our customers. Call and get one. J. G. Dnirnss & Co. Bankers from the West and else where are corresponding with the clerk of the council, to find out when the bonds of the town will be on the market. These parties are anxious to make investments, and will take our bonds as soon as they are issued. We hope the day is not far distant when we shall have a beautiful and commo dious town hall. If you wish to hire a nice horse and buggy at a very small cost, go to D. A. Bradham's Livery Stables. Joseph Stuart Nettles died in Charleston June 5th, 1890, in the ninetieth year of his age. He was an earnest and devoted Christian, and bad since early childhood been a mem ber of the Methodist church. He was a brother of the late Rev. A. Net tles, and the last of a family of five, three brothers and two sisters, who have all died within the past five years and whose average age exceeded eighty-five. Stephen Nettles, the fath er of this family, and the grandfather of the editor of this paper, was born in Darlington county, Dec. 11, 1767. After the heavy rain yesterday we noticed a quantity of water standing. on the sidewalk and out in the street, between the premises of Dr. Richard son and Mrs. Burgess. It was impos sible to pass this place without wad ing in water over ankle deep, and we think the town council might devise some means to carry this water off, even if they are compelled to dig a :itch through private property. By oing to the expease of buying terra otta piping the water could be carn n off and no ditch would be eiposed. entlemen of the council, give this matter your attention; it is much eeded. Killed by his Brother. A horribly sad accident occurred ast Friday afternoon, about two miles from T\fanning, in the household of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. W. McCall. They nd some of their neighbors had united in a picnic near by, and were all having a pleasant time, when Mr. McCall's son, Dinkins, who is about ten years old, and had been left at home to take care of the place and ounger children, came running up terribly frightened, and told his moth er that while he was in the field some thing terrible had happened in the house, but he did not know what it was. The parents hurried home, to find a most horrible sight: their little four year-old boy, Charley, whom only a few hours before they had left well and happy, was lying on the floor, struggling in agony, one side of his head torn away, and his finger nails worn off tearing on the floor. A gun near by told the sad story. Surgical aid was procured as soon as possible, but to no purpose, and in a few hours the little fellow died. An effort was made to get Dinkins to tell how the accident happened, but for some time he would not, say ing at first that it occurred while, he was in the field, and then that the little fellow, had shot himself. Finally by much persuasion from his mother, and amidst the deepest sobs and grief' on his part, he told them. He had taken a small gun in the house to play with, and thinking it was not loaded, had pointed it at his little brother, telling him he was going to shoot. Having no caps, he got a box of matches, and used the heads on the tube. The little fellow was sit ting on the floor, laughing and whit tling with a knife, when Dinkins, but a few feet away, aimed the fatal shot at the little fellow's head. The trig ger wvas pulled, and one side of his head was shot away. An inquest was held Saturday, and a verdict of accidental death was ren dered by the coroner's jury. Set on Fire by Lightning. Manning was visited yesterday af ternoon by a cloud burst, and for an hour the rain poured in torrents. yust about the time the rain began, light ning struck the stables in rear of B. A. Walker's store, setting them on fire. These stables were very low, and it is a surprise the lightning did not strike some higher object. Mr. Walker's horse was in the stable at the time, but was not hurt. Although the rain was pouring, yet in a few minutes a large flame was burning the stables. Several went in the rain to the fire, and a lot of salt, hides, etc., stored in one of the rooms, was saved. It wvas a peculiar sight to see a great flame burning so fiercely in a deluging rain storm. Adjoining fences aid stables were torn down, and in a half hour the fire was under control. All the stores in that part of town are bhvck Clarendon is all Right. EDITOR MANNIx TIMFs:-Clarendon is all right, but not as the correspon dent for the New. and (Uwrier fromn Manning would have it to be. I noticed in the Xes anid ier of June 4th an article written, as I take it, for the purpose of deluding those who are not up with political trickery of the paesent time. The author of that communication is another one of our dreamers, and I think it is very prob able that he had two or three drinks of very bad liquor to have made him dream such an untruthful dream, for I don't see how any man who has eyes to see and ears to hear, could write such an article as that, meaning it as a correct report. I, as well as a great many others, were in Manning that very day and if I know anything at all it was just to the reverse, for I am sure and I am perfectly conscien tious when I make the assertion, that Tillman has at least three-fourths if not four fifths of the voting strength of Clarendon county. This reporter seems to think that the stand taken by the gentlemen whom he mention ed in his article signified a good deal. So it may, but there are others in the county whose stand may signify a lit tle something too. We don't propose to sneeze at the sniffing of snuff every time. The names of the gentlemen that he mentioned represent probably at least half of the opposition to Till man in this county. We are all living, as I think, in a land of liberty. These gentlemen have a right to their opin ion, and we have a right to ours. I notice another article in the Co-, lumbia Rcgister, copied from some Atlanta paper, claiming that Tillman ism is bound to split the Democratic party. Now I would like to call par ticular attention to this point. Who is it that is having so much to say about the split., if it is not the Anti Tillmauites? We have always said and continue to say tuat we will abide by the decision of the regular nomi nating convention; now then, who is it that is thinking so much about the split in the party if it is not the Antis and political tricksters? These are the men we fear that are going to make the split; these are the men who we think will Fdraw off and run an intkpendent ticket, and put in a bid for the negro vote. Now, gentle man, all we want is fair play. I call the attention of the Tillmanites to a trick of the Antis: They are slipping around trying to dishearten the Till manites by asserting that Tillman is losing ground every day. ,Don't pay any attention to this, boys; just go ahead and do your best, and we will show them where they are in Septem ber. It is rot men that we are fight ing for now: it is a principle; it is measures. PANO.A FAn.MER. Panola, June 10. -~ 4 -0 fr4 ENTITLED TO THE BEST.

Tillman consti tute, we believe, largely the majority of the Democratic party in this State. The Tillmanites assert that they consti tute 80 per cent. of the party; the best judges of polities in the State, connected with the opposition to him, concede Tillman's strength to be about 60 per cent. of the Dem ocratic vote. It would look, then, as if Tillman wa sure of winning in any emergency; but that is not the case, for in politics, as in war, organization counts as well &s numbers. To win, Tillman's forces must be suffic iently strong in the differert counties and sufficiently well Ied to make it too danger ons a game to have anything but a fair, square deal at the primaries. The plan of campaign against him is now defined, and is to trot out as mmy candi dates as possible, and to draw to them as devoted a following as personal popularity and local pride may allow; then in the con vention, when erhusiasm for the man of their choice has been excited to a pitch, by every artifice which the opposition can bring to bear upon the Anti-Tillman crowd, the mass will be stampeded to some man, prob bly with such a character as to have never excited any enmities. The galleries, on the occasion of the con vention, will be packed with a crowd bitter ly hostile to Tillman, and, if there are any timid men for him, they may be influenced by the storm of cheers which will perpetu ally punctuate every peroration against Tillian's side of the question. All during the convention at odd inter vals the chairman will probiably threaten to clear the galleries, but the chances are that the whoop of the opposition will continue throughout the proceedings. An accurate knowledge of parliamentary procedure wvill be no contemptible aid to the opposition, and it will be found that wvhen ever the instructions of the executive com mittee may be evaded with success, they will be, while they will assuredly be quoted against Tlman wvhenever they suit. Above all money will, in all probability, be spent lavishly, and money is a powerful factor in polities, fo'r, while it is not proba ble that any individual will prowl about the State, distributing greenbacks, yet there are a thousand ways in which the influence of money can be made to tell in politics. Let no friend of Tillman imagine then1 that he will have a walkover, for he has callenged a powerful organization to light for its existence, and no fight is as desperate as that which is for existence. Every candidate w~ho comes out for the nomination comes out tirst and forenmcst as an Anti-'Tillman candidate. We repeat, whether hc comes from up-country or lowv country, whether he be lawyer, farmuer, or doctor, he comes at "Old Guard's" suggest ion, carrying a dagger for Tillman. Whe-ther', then, the candidate is the Doc tor Mauldin of Greenville, the Lawyer Earle of' Sumter, or the Farmer Bratton of Fair field, every vote cast for any of them is a vote cast to perpetuate the existing state of affairs and against a change. It' by any accident or neglect, then, Till man should be beaten in September, it will be idle to dream of any attempt at a change for at least ten years. WHAT IT COSTS Must b~e carefully considered by the great majority of people, in buying even necessi ties of life. Hood's Sarsaparilla commends itself with special force to the great middle classes, because it combines economy with great medicinal power. It is the only medi cine of which can truly be said "100 Doses One Dollai'," and a bottle taken according to directions will average to last a month. Bargains at M. Levi's.
