Send for a catalogue. Intendant D. M. Bradham deserves great praise for his excellent arrange ment last Saturday to preserve peace and good order. He as well as other members of the council were on duty all day to suppress any disorder that might arise. Sheriff Lesesne was also prepared to render assistance in pre serving order. Last Thursday several families of the Fork section had a day's outing at Brewington. Boat-riding, fishing, and a big dinner was the order of the day. Shortly after dinner a heavy rain came up, and several of the crowd were treated to a good wetting. Taken altogether the day was spent very pleasantly by all. Col. R. R. Hudgins never does things half way. He determined to give a picnic last Thursday at Brew ington, and not satisfied with himself furnishing a magnificent picnic din ner, he made a large row boat, put it on a wagon, put twenty-five young people in it, carried them to the lake, and they spent the day most pleasant ly boating, courting, etc. Returning that afternoon they got a good wet ting from a heavy rain. Messrs. Rutledge & Tindal, of Summerton, have proven that pluck and energy will make a success of al most anything. These gentlemen un dertook the exclusive furniture and undertaking business in their town, and judging from the magnificent line of furniture they carry in stock, they have made a great success. They sell any kind of a set of furniture a person may need, at prices to suit the times. When in need of anything in their line, give them a trial, and we feel satisfied you will be pleased. A difficulty occurred at Greeleyville last Saturday night, caused by a ne gro offering some insult to Mr. John Hogan, which was resented by Mr. Hogan's knocking the negro down and punishing him severely. Some other negroes standing by started to interfere, but they wisely concluded that Mr. Hogan was right, and desist ed. Mr. Hogan, by the way, had two of his fingers about a month ago cut off by a circular saw, and another fin ger nearly cut off. His wounded hand sustained considerable hurt in the melee. Messrs. Sires & Chandler have re ently laid in stock a very nice assort ment of furniture of all descriptions, sofas, tables, bedsteads, chamber sets, wardrobes, bed springs, and in fact everything in a first class furniture line, which they propose to sell at such prices as will be pleasing to their cus tomers. They also have an undertak Sing department attached, and all or ders will receive personal and prompt attention. These gentlemen are here to remain with us, and we ask for them a liberal patronage, feeling satis fled that their customers will be pleased. Mr. Ellison Morris, of Salem, whom we mentioned last week as having been fatally cut by Mr. Press Conyers rlast Tuesday morning, died at his res idence last Thursday morning. It is reported that before his death he said ',he was at fault in attacking Conyers. The evening before (Wednesday) Press Conyers was arrested on affida Svit of Mr. Madtin Morris. Immedi ?ately after Mr. Morris's death, an in quest was held by 'Squire Fleming,| the jury rendering a verdict of death Sby a knife in the hands of Press Con yers. Conyers was at once brought to Manning and lodged in jail, where She will probably remain till the Octo ber term of court. Two hours after the death of Mr. Morris his widow gave birth to a son.

Thursday the 24th inst. was Silver's ,ala day. It was a large and grand yathering of the beauty and chivalry *rom the various sections of the coun ;y for the purpose of having a day of enuine pleasure, the number present being estimated between five and six aundred. The day was not too warm, nd an occasional little shower had ;he atmosphere in an elegant condi ion for the party on pleasure bent. The Messrs. Briggs had made every trrangement for the picnic before the ,rowd assembled, and a success they nade of it. Nothing occurred during ;he day to make one regret having ittended. Simon's celebrated string band had >een procured for the occasion, and oon after our arrived they struck up a ively air in a pavilion which had been rected for the dancers. Of course he music drew a crowd, and it was iot many minutes before tl'e young allants and their lady f'iends were 'tripping the light fantastic toe." The nusic was fine, and the dancing would iave done credit to a city select ball, weither would it be idle boasting to av that some of the dancers cannot >e excelled in tie State. The old olks would pat their feet, keeping ime to the music and look on the in atuating scene, admir'ng the young mnes, and tWk about what they used o do when they were young. The eople crowded around the pavilion o watch the dancers, and those that ould not get close enough went off o find some other amusement, which hey found in the meeting and g.-eet ng of old friends and acquaintances. The day wr a round of pleasure, nd went off re happily as a wedding east. The happiness was not even hilled when the announcement was nade that dinner was ready, and udging ?*om the response they were 11 ready for the dinner. Four long ables forming a hollow squrre had >een erected under the t:ees, and hese were ladened with the best that lainty hands could prepare and the ounty 'ford, turkeys, chickens, bpr ecued pigs and mutton, hams, beef, ,hicken-pies, salads and pickles, vege ables of all kinds, pies, cakes, pud lings, custards, iced lemonade, ice ream, in fact everything that could >ossibly tempt one's appetite was here, and in the greatest abundance. here was no confusion about the nanagement at the tables. The com nittee of ladies and gentlemen in :harge managed excellently, as every 3ody was made comfortable at the ables and was promptly served. As soon as dinner was over danc ng was resumed and continued for ;he rest of the day. The men that were not engaged in the dance walked :ff in groups and engaged in that all tbsorbing topic, politics. Every min ate a telegram was expected from Sumter announcing the result of the ounty convention which met on that ay, and the telegraph operator must have been worn out informing the anxious inquirers, "there is no news yet." All kinds of rumors were afloat, but nothing definite was learned until the five o'clock train from Sumter ar rived, which brought the news of Tillman's success. The moment the announcement was made, it was greeted with a shout that made the welkin ring, and old men were so full of joy that they cut up t 0 many anticE as would a child upon receiving a pretty toy.

A riot occurred in Foreston last Saturda; night, in which Henry Dennis, Sol Mitch u, Theodore Kelley, and Jim Frierson di< +'afighting. Pistols were plentiful, thougi ..ly one shot was fired: Dennis shot onc< at Mitchumn. Frierson was badly beaten Frierson also attempted to cut the police man's throat, but he was so drunk he di< not get his knife open, and thus the police, man escaped with his life, and after he go loose from Frierson he escaped from th row. No special effort was made by th. town authorities to quell the riot, but it wa allowed to die out of itself. Whiskey wa the cause of the trouble. About a hundret persons were on the street at the time.

BARROW, Secretary. One bottle Johnson's Chill and FevE Economical Legislative Changes. EDIroR MANNING Tnt:-Will you allow me space through the columns of your estimable paper to give ex pression to some of my ideas in re gord to economy and reform? And I do not think I am alone in these ideas. The f-st matter that I propose to consider is economy in our county. Why carnot the treasurer's and audit i or's office be consolidated ? This would save the county somewhere be tween five and seven hundred dollars. And why could not the school com missioner's pay be r- 'aced? P11 of this would he'p, and more especially if it could be turned over to the free school fund. Now this is a matter that I propose having something to say about, and that is the -ee school business. I consider the present mode of manage ment almost a perfect humbug. There is enfirely too -ttle time given in by the teachers for the amount of money paid out. The idea of only teacLing :rom 4 1-2 to 5 hours each day is perfectly absurd and 1idiculous. When parents go to the trouble of dressing up their children and lose their time also, they expect them to be learnt something, but I w;l teil you there is precious little they leern. I have heard the parents complain very much; I have he-d the teachers say myself that they have had to start the same children this year where they were started the year before. It is the money worked for, and not the education of the children considered. I only wish I had the power to make one or two laws. I would make it obligatory on every man to educate his cbildren, for education is power, and it is the only salvation for the Anglo Saxon race. Now I'll say a little about State matteij. Now there is the railroad com. What good is it doing the people? Not a particle that we can see. There is the com. of agriculture. What good is that doing? If it has been the means of improving the standard of guano or has done any other good it is more than we can perceive. These are some of the ex penses that I think can very well be trimmed down without doing the peo ple or State the slightest damage. Now to a matter of far more impor tance in the way of economy than any other matter, and that is the con vening of the legislature every year. Now is there any necessity for this? I think not. The laws are all made and what more is necessary? The men we send to the legislature do but very little for there is but little for them to do, or it amounts to very lit tle after all. Some fellow will get up and offer a resolution to amend an act to entitle an act and the conse quence is that it is only an act on his part any way though costing the State a good de,-. I think a good idea, and I am not alone in these ideas, that the legisla ture should not be required to con vene every year. Every other year would be as I think sufficient. Just think of what could be saved by this, something like $140,000 or $150,000. Just think of this. This cau all be done, and why not ? Now suppose this was done and this money revert ed back to the people in the way of a school fund, what a help it would be. The convening of the legislature could be left in the hands of the gov ernor in case of an emergency. All this can be done if we send the right kind of men to the legislature, and this is a matter that we should not lose sight of, to send the right men there, for it is as Capt. Tillmaan says, he can do but little without help. I think this is another matter of great importance, and that is to change the matter of having elections every two years. Why not have all elections the same year "that the President is elected ? This would give us a little peace and quietness for a while. Think of these things, friends, and let us have a change. I am sure it will do no harm. J. H. T. CouaIE'rrE. Panola, July 28. Manning Farmers' Platform Club. Every member of the Manning Farmers' Platform Democratic Club is urged to be. present at the meeting 3 o'clock next Satur day afternoon, Aug. 2d. An election for delegates to the county convention and for a member of the county executive committee will be held. S. A. NETTLES, S. J. Bowl, President. Secretary. A (!lodmnasher's Consolation for the Antis. EDITOR hIANNING Tnmxs:-As hard work is about over and the crops arc about laid by, I have concluded to give you a few dots from this locality. Crops are not as good generally in this section as at the same time last year: corn will be shorter than last year; cotton will we hope improve if we can get a good season in a few days, and the indications at present are such as to lead us to hope so. Visiting, going fishing, and discuss ing politics is the order of the day with some. Politics though in this community is very dull; indeed there is but one side to politics and that is Tillman, chock full and running over, and we are not annoyed with any Anti-Tillmanism, so you may correct ly guess all goes well. The Jordan Democratic club organ ized on the 19th inst. with about ninety-eight members: all Tillmanites, no Antis. The few Antis that form erly belonged to that club left with all speed with a few others on the fast train of W. & S. Railroad to capture the Summerton club, but how sad were they when reaching the grounds and casting their nets they could only haul in fifteen members (so I have been told), the Tilhananites mustering in the neighborhood of eighty or a hundred. I was very much amused at a Till manite who was at a certain point when the train with the contingent passed, going at the speed of two hops and a jump. He says they had all the sashes down and all the blinds I up. Poor fellows, how bad to be so - disappointed ! They deserve credit -for their effort to try and capture Sumerton club, and I have no doubt Ethe aristocracy will ever hold them in - rateful remembrance for the glorious i ffort they made for the success of aristocracy even if they did get left, -and by way of consolation I will say Ito them be not cast down, for a bigger crowd than this will be left on the 10th of September next, for in all jprobability the Anti-Tillmanites one and all have arrived at the conclusion by this time that they had as well at tempt to lock the wheels of the uni movement and the elevation of Farm er Ben to the highest office within the gift of the people of South Caro lina. The Antis may now conclude to cast about to know if there is any balm in Gilead, and I will say to them there is, and by way of comfort to their troubled souls and disappointed aspirations will point them to the six ballot boxes next November and the ;ee and full pardon of a Davis, July 15. crODMASER. [Fion the Southern Christian Advocate.] Sumter District Conference. On Wednesday, July 16, the twentieth ,ession of the Sumter District Conference was opened in the pleasant town of Man ing, with a good sermon by Rev. J. Marion Rogers. Promptly on time Thursday morn ng the Presiding Elder called the confer nce to order, and after the opening relig tous exercises and the preliminaries of or anization, in which Rev. E. 0. Watson was e-elected secretary, and Rev. B. D. Lucas, ssistant secretary, proceeded immediately o the work in hand, which was pushed teadily forward. Reports from charges were full but concise. No time was lost beating about the bush to scare out a fact or wo, but Presiding Elder Beasley, perfectly it home in the chair, held things to the point, and speedily but clearly brought out al necessary information, so that time was ad for the free discussion of a number of important questions. In these discussions Brother James W. Kilgo and others declared :hemselves very positively as t> "the duty )f preaching on the subject and mode of baptism." Brother Dars gave us an ex haustive argument setting forth the duty of bse. ing stated facts. Brother Wait pre sented weighty thoughts on the subject of worldly amusemen -. Brother Hodges de lared himself favorably concerning the sefulness of choirs avd organs. Brother leaton gave the brethren a general stirring up as to pastoral attention to children, and Brother Bissell spoke concerning the possi bility of the Scriptures being irreverently regarded as a result of the manner of hand ling on lesson papers, quarterlies, etc.; and Brother Clinkseales at the request of the president discussed the "objects of the Sunday-school, and are they being realized?" ther brethren than those mentioned t-ok part in these discussions, but we mention nly those who opened the discussions. No question entertained the conference more than the discussion as to the "exercise of discipline to the extent of excomraunica tions of members who will not contribute to the support of the church," in which Brothers S. A. Nettles and J. F. Rhame gave us their thoughts as from the pew. Brother Rhame took the high ground that the non payment of assessments was an actionable offense under the discipline, but advised that on this ground the church should tread softly. Dr. Kirkland put in some sledge hammer blows on this subject that will hardly be forgotten, at least by some pres ent. We had the pleasure of having with us our editor, Dr. Kirkland, who continues to give us the paper of the connection; Professor Clinkscales, who knows how to present the claims of Christian education in general and the Columbia Female College in partic ular; and our irrepressible beggar John C. Kilgo, of Wofford, who got several hundred dollars more from our district for Wofford's endowment, which amount we hope he will greatly increase by futire visits to our charges. We are glad to have with us Brothers Leard and W. W. Mood, and are thankful for their prayers and counsels, and for that sermon Brother Mood gave us about the Phillippian jailer, so full of seed thoughts. Brother W. H. Hodges of Kingstree circuit was also with us and preached a good ser mon on sowing and reaping. On Saturday afternoon services were held in memory of Dr. Meynardie, Maj. W. M. Green, and our Brother Mattison. The customary resolutions of thanks, etc., the reports of committees, etc., were adopted with the very notable exception of resolu tions concrnsing the close of the quadren niun of oatr Presiding Elder. Instead of this customary action, Rev. W. L. Wait as spokesman for the conference stated the sad fact that there was possibly dissatisfaction on the part both of preachers and laymen that some preachers possibly thought they should have been treated to fatter places, while no doubt the laymen thought they should have received better preachers, in view of which it was proposed to cane the Presiding Elder as the possible author of all these evils. 'Twas thought best to strike a soft spot, but not finding anything of the sort about the head of the P. E., a soft spot was struck in his heart when with warm as surances of the love and esteem in which he is personally held, and of the satisfac tion and appreciation of his official work, Mr. Wait presented h' u with a handsome ebony gold-headed cane, enbg-aved "Rev. J. S. Beasley, from the Sumter District Con ference, 1890." Here, Mr. Editor, let the curtain drop- there was no instantaneous photographer there end the secretaries can't record blushes. We will but say the sur prise of the recipient was unfeigned, and the speech that might have been in response to resolutions fled away. The preaching of the conference during the week was done by Revs. J. Mr. Rodgers, E. T. Hodges, E. 0. Watson, W. W. ood, W. H. Hodges, J. C. Davis, and J. W. Kilgo. The following announcements were made of Sunday appointments: Methodist church, 11 a. br., Dr. W. D. Kirkland; Methodist church, 8.30 P. M., Rev. W. L. Wait; Pres byterian church, 11 A. M., Rev. E. 0. Wat son; Baptist church, 11 A. ii., Rev. W. C. Gleaton; Oakland church, 11 A. M., Rev. D. A. Calhoun; Colored M. E. Church, 11 A. x., Rev. J. J. Workman; Colored M.E. Church, 8.30 P. M., Rev. J. C. Davis. The preaching heard by this writer was up to the district conference mark and of an order to accomplish real and lasting good. On Sunday afternoon a missionary meet ing was held and addresses were made by Sister Parker, now at home on a visit after twelve years of mission work in China, and by Brother B. D: Lucas, who is soon to sail as a missionary for that field. These servi ces were inexpressibly touching and have produced a good impression tbat will long The following are the delegates elect to the Annual Conference: J. W. McLeod, J. A. Sprott, R. E. Smith, B. Mr. Badger, with L. A. White and Ma-ion Dorn, alternates. Summerton was selected as the place for holding the next conference. Shall we be there, Mr. Editor ? Ah ! who can tell. Pleasant recollections have we of that dis trict conference three years ago in Sutamer ton, the first of the quadrenniuim of the present presiding elder, and pleasant rec ollections will we have of this at Manning at the close of that quadrennium, pleasant recollections of the conference itself, and of the hospitality and social enjoyments of this delightful town.
