wife of>~lr. 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

her was a happy release. She was an

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

The Manning Guards had a dress'
parade and inspection on the court
house square last Thursday afternoon.
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.

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.

Newsy Notes from Summerton.
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

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

morning. This child had been in del

remains were interred Monday in the
Manning cemetery.

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

hope the day is not far distant when
we shall have a beautiful and commo

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

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.

He'd better wait till Foreston "wipes

"About two years ago a sore came on my
nose. I called in a physician who could ar
rest it only' for a few days, when it would
appear as bad as ever. Finally it became
permanent, and despite the constant atten
tion of several physicians it continued to
grow worse, the discharge from the ulcer
being exceedingly offensive. This was my
condition when I commenced to take Swift's
Specific (S. S. 5.) about one month ago, but
I am now happy to say that after taking four
large bott les of your wondecrful medicine my
nose is e-ntirely well. and my general health

and so popular as to need no special men
tion. All who have used Electric Bitters
ing the same song of praise. A purer med
icine does not exist, and it is guaranteed to
do all that is claimed. Electric Bitters will
cure all diseases of the liver and kidneys,
will iemove pimples, boils, salt rheum, and
other affections caused by impure blood.
Will drive malaria from the system and pre
vent as well as cure all malarial fevers. For
cure of headache, constipatio.n and indiges
tion try Electric Bitters. Entir'e satisfac
tion guaranteed, or money refunded. Price
50 cents and 31 per bottle at Dinkins & Co.'s
drug store.
The Necessity of Organization.
The supporters of Capt. 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.
M, Levi has a tremendous stock of
ladies', gents', and children's shoes
which he proposes to sell at very low
figures in order to unload.
His stock of hats, clothing, and dry
goods cannot be excelled by any gen
eral merchandise store in the State.
He will sell a fine assortment of
dicevs, which consists of a collar,
pair ~of cuffs, and shirt front, for 30
cents, former price 50 cents.
The finest lot of neck ties and cra
vats ever brought to Manning from
ten cents up to 75 cents, former
prices from 25 cents to $1.25.
A fine lot of bicycle shirts of all
grades will be sold very cheap.
His clothing counters aire filled with
the neatest styles, and he will sell
them cheaper than they can be puar
chased in Charleston. A special re
duction made in all kinds of gent's
furnishing goods.
The little daughte'r of Mr. and Mrs. J. E.
Craig, of Lancaster, who wa's carrie-d to~
Charlotte recentjy by her parents to have a
bean taken from her ear by' Dr. Graham,
has been brought back home and is now
doing w~ell, the operation having beeni sue
cssfully perf'ormecd, though it was a ifi
cult and painfull one. TVh- bean, or rathevr

be taken out in pieces.
