EDITOR MAxNrsG TxrEs:-Believing that we should have true and tried advocates of the great reform movement in the State House at Columbia this winter, we offer for the State Senate the name of Maj. L. H. DESCHAMPS, who is a man of the people, thoroughly identified with the interests and sympathies of the masses, and in every re spect qualified. He is a Christian gentle man of the highest type. has the courage of his convictions, is a successful farmer, and enjoys the confidence of his neighbors, and we ask for him the vote of the people at the ensuing election, subject, however, to the action of the Democratic party at their nominating convention or primary election as may be agreed upon.

Tindal, aged 65 years, died yesterday morning, at his home about six miles west of Manning. His body was interred at Bethlehem church to day. An interesting Inter-County Sun day-school convention was held in this towyn last Friday and Saturday, and was attended by a number of persons from the county and State, interested in Sunday-school work. One of the best boarding houses we know of is the Mansion House in Sumter, kept by Mrs. L. A. Brown, a former resident of this place. It is conveniently located, and we feel con fident our people will be pleased if they stop there. Constable Mellette, of Summerton, brought Berry Sanders, colored, to the county jail yesterday. Sanders was committed by Trial Justice Mel lette on the charge of obtaining goods under false pretenses, and for dispos ing of crop under lien. The resolutions of Davis Cross Roads and1 of Summerton clubs are unavoidably crowded out this week. They, in brief, are very strong en dorsements of Mr. James E. Tindal for Secretary of State and, also, of his past course in the legislature. The campaign of education has proved exceedingly successful for Till man. After the campaign meeting in Manning six members of the For eston Anti club, headed by Mr. Theo dore Kelly, had their names trans ferred to the Foreston Reform club. Petitions for a State primary are circulating in this county, but the Tillmanites (misguided and ignorant though they are termed by the Antis) will pass them by, for they have re spect enough about them not to be continually bull-dozed and bam boozled. The trustees of the Manning Colle iate institute at their meeting yes terday elected as principal of the school, Mr. S. M. Clarkson, of Colum bia. Mr. Clarkson was graduated at the South Carolina University with distinction, and is a teacher of con siderable experience. Next week Columbia will be crowd ed with delegates, candidates, and vis itors, many of whom will stop at the Grand Central Hotel, one of the best kept houses in the State. This hotel has lately had a change of proprie tors, and our people will find both fare and accomodations excellent. Now that the political clouds are about to roll by it would not be out of place for our merchants to let the people know through the columns of the Tns that they are still doing business, and are anxious for their Lrade. The Tums is read by a large umber of people and it behooves ev ry merchant to advertise in its col ms. Mrs. Hester Carpenter, widow of he late Win. R. Carpenter, died at er home about two miles from Man ing, last Saturday morning, at 2 'clock. She was sixty:four years of age, and was a member of the Meth dist church. The funeral services ook place Saturday afternoon in the Methodist church, after which the body was interred in the Manning emetery. Mr. C. F. Richbourg was painfully njured last Tuesday while sitting at his dinner table. A piece of timber ave way under the flooring, which aused a heavy sideboard to topple ver and fall upon him. Mr. Morgan Davis, who was present, caught hold f the sideboard as it was falling, thereby breaking the full force of the fall and saving Mr. Richbourg from more serious injuries. Sometime ago we called attention to the promiscuous shooting of pistols t night about town, and for awhile after there wvas but little of it, but the miscreants have again started their mischievous sport. Last -Saturday night pistol shots could be heard in very direction, and if these parties are not stopped they will through their carelessness take some innocent life. The marshals should try to find out who it is that is doing this mis hief, and if they find them arrest them at once and let the council teach them a lesson. Last Friday night as the residents on church street were about to retire for the night, some individual, sup posed to be white, and who evidently had been imbibing too freely of "lethe an waters of fiery disposition and car mine hue," must have imagined that the town had become depopulated, and that he was "lord of all he sur veyed," judging from the manner in which he allowed his vile tongue to rattle off curses, threats, oaths, and all sorts of nonsensical hurrahs and brags of what he would do in case any man that was not of his political persua sion should attempt to interfere with him. We are informed that the C. S. & N. railroad company wiM soon com mence the erection of several ware houses on the line of their road, which they propose to turn over to the Alli ance to store cotton. If this be true our merchants will be asleep to their interests if they do not go to work at once to offer some inducements for the people to bring their cotton here, for once the cotton is allowed to slip from Manning it will take a long time to recover the loss, and if anything is to be done for the business interest of the town it should be done imme diately, or such places as Summerton, Silver, and Packsville will take the trade that should be ours. Campaign literature is being dis tributed throughout this county by the Antis. This literature is a part of the result of the "noble four hundred" onvention, and is being sent out by Gen. John D. Kennedy, chairman of the advisory committee. We suppose that such tactics are used in China, where Gen. Kennedy resided for a few years, and may be termed in our language Chinese tactics. The circu lars are three in number and headed as follows: "Farmer Peterkin on the Stump," "Farmer Ancrum on B. R. Tillman," and "A Pretty Man for Governor." Therefore we can safely exclaim: - "For ways that are dark, And tricks that are vain, A Magnificent Display. When you go to Sumter and desire to buy anything in the furniture line don't fail to call upon the firm of Da Rant and Belitzer. These gentlemer have recently moved into their nem quarters on Main street, and are pre pared to compete with any furnitur house in the State. When you enter their establishmenut you are at once struck with the mag nificent display of chamber and draw ing room sets, also all kinds of furni ture and house decorations. We feel safe in saying that you can do as well with this firm as you can anywhere in South Carolina. The Sumter Leaders. The Levi Brothers, of Sumter, are diminishing their well assorted stock of goods to get ready for the immense stock that is now being contracted for. One of the firm is North visiting all the principal factories and making his contracts direct with the manufac turers instead of buying from middle men. In doing so they buy their goods cheaper and as a natural conse quence can sell cheaper than those merchants who are forced to buy on long time from middle men. These gentlemen have every reason to congratulate themselves upon the success they have made since opening business in Sumter, and the esteem they have won from their patrons. They went to Sumter right in the face of old and experienced mer chants, and by their strict attention to business and honest and upright dealings they were not long in prov ing themselves not only equals but actual leaders in the general merchan dise business. Great Bargains to be Had at Mrs. M. 0. Burgess's Millinery and Notion Store. In order to close out all goods now on hand, I will offer my entire stock at greatly reduced prices. Every article offered will be a genuine bargain. In stock there are: hats, flowers, feathers, ribbons, velvets, plushes, silks, laces, em broideries, neck-wear, silk parasols, hose, gloves, fans, veilings, Windsor ties, buttons, corsets, children's shoes, etc., etc. There will be special bargains in hats, flowers, and ribbons, also some very nice pieces of dress goods far below cost. Early callers will secure the choicest bar. gains. Everything sold for cash. Mas. M. 0. BURGESS. Manning, S. C. August, 1890. Cheap Excursion. An excursion will be run to the moun tains next Wednesday, August 13, and the tickets will be good to return to August 30. The fare from Manning to Spartanburg is only $5.00; to Greenville $5.50: to Hender sonville S6.50; to Asheville $7.25. From other stations at about the same prices. Connor Mounted Rifles.

It is very important in this age of vast material progress that a remedy be pleasing to the taste and to the eye, easily taken, ae ceptable to the stomach, and healthy in its nature and effects. Possessing these quali ties, Syrup of Figs is the one perfect laxa tve and most gentle diuretic known. An Insult to Clarendon. The editor of the Sumter W~atchliman, in the last issue of that paper, has the follow ing to say of the insulting banner, which was taken down, not by the person getting it up, but by the sher-ef acting under instruc tions from the county chairman: One of the banners on the grounds, among others there displayed, was "Mahone start ed out as a Democrat." This was taken down early in the day, however, by the per son getting it up. Afterwards there was considerable talk as to what an outrage it would have been- "a vile insinuation.' But there were a good many who failed to see anything more than a fact, well known, and a suggestive warning given. TOU TAKE NO RISlK In buying Hood's Sarsaparilla, for it is every where recognized as the standard building up medicine and blood purifier. It has won its way to the front by its own intrinsic merit, and has the largest sale of any pre paration of its kind. Any honest druggist will confirm this statement. If you decide to take Hood's Sarsaparilla do not be in duced to buy anything else instead. Be sure to get Hood's. Crops and Politics at Davis. EDITon M1isiG T~IFEs-As I furnished you a few dots from this section last week . will give you a few for this week. Our sec tion since then has been visited with re freshing rains, and we are all cheerful and hopeful. All praise to the giver of every good and perfect gift. The crops up to thai time were suffering severely. The advanced or early planted corn was too forward in age to receive much if any benefit thereby, but late corn was very much helped and will do very well, though the corn crop gen erally will be considerably shorter than last year, yet I think there will be a tolerably fair crop made in this neighborhood. Cotton though checked and retarded by the contin ed dry weather, has and is improving rap. idly, and if the rains are rLot too heavy and frequent for the next few days to cause too much shedding of its fruit I think the ex pectations of a fair crop will be realized, Other field crops such as rice, potatoes, &c., are and will be as good as last year, and probably somewhat better. The crops are all now laid by and the farmers will have a fews days recreation and after awhile gath ering fodder will be the order of the day for a short while and when that is over then next comes the gathering of the fleecy staple and other crops. Polities in this section is very quiet, and all the voters are still for Farmer Ben. The Manning campaign meeting has been held and is now numbered with political mneetings of the past, and not a single convert to a con tinuation of ring rule and bossism has been made and the decree has gone forth so far as the Tillmanites of Clarendon are concerned, for we intend to stick to the candidate of the March convention to the last let come what may. The campaign meeting at Manning has certainly proved a hiumiliating failure to the Antis and they as well as their candi dates and especially the great gamecock of Sumter whom they placed so much hopes in and expected to sweep the old State like ai whirlwind and weld it for all time to come tc ring rule and bossism have realized by what they have read and seen since June 10th, that he (politically speaking) is a dead cock in the pit, and the farmers' candidate they so delighted to stigmatize as the great bamboozler is going to wield the sceptre of gubernatorial power in the giand old co im monwealth for the next two years from next November, and from thenceforth and fore er we are determined to have a governnment Iof the people, by the people, and for the people. CLIJMASHn. Davis Station, August 1. BLOOD POISON Is very liable to follow contact of the hauds or face with what is known as poison ivy, especially in hot weather or if the body is perspirng freely. The trouble may sub side for a time, only to appear in aggravated form when opportunity offers. The great purifying powers of Hood's Sarsaparilla thoroughly eradicate every trace of poison from the blood, as the cures it have accom phshed conclusively show, It also eures scrofula, salt rheum. and nil other arlectins Tom Takes a Trip. Sitvxn, August 4.-I have for the last week been on the wing, here and there, prospecting in a rambling way. I have seen a heap, heard much, seen some as fine crops as grow anywhere in South Carolina. Our county is abreast, not behind, in agri eultural pursuits-fully up to the v-ry high est standard. It will not strain the imagination of your read(ers to follow me in pleasant and most pleasin r ecollec-tio.ns of what took place from Silver to Salem. Some may feel cn rious to know whatof this long journey? The answer would be, this is a live Tillman year, every candidate wants to inspect the picke t lines, see the people. hear them talk, and know how they stand on political is sues. This we have done; all this we have found out. I never saw a greater upheaval, t more united people on political issue-s. There is certainly a great tide moving below the surface of the people, other than Tillnanism. What is it? We passed through Summerton to Jordan. For Summerton and her people, I have the greatest hope. The energy, pluck, and per severance of the Suimertonians put them in the front rank. They have built no ordi nary town within so short a space of time; her merchants sell cheap; a fine school soon to be taught by that scholarly gentleman, Mr. Bowman; three fine churches, with tine Christian congregations; reached by two railroads; together with the weekly Star, on ly give you a synopsis what her future pros pects are. Davis is located on the Wilson railroad. It would be impossible to make your read ers believe to what extent Mr. C. M. Davis has built up his interest as a merchant, farmer, and mill man. Davis too is spread ing her wings for a town. Jordan has improved nuch in the last two years. That grand old man and patri- 1 arch, Joseph Sprott, is still moving in the circle of his life-long habits, and the peo ple admire, love, and treat him with the ut most veneration. The Deep Creek portion of the county, as it is called, is somewhat low and marshy in wet weather, not much farming lands, but the most magnificent stock range in the world. Stock could range for miles. both summer and winter. The stock law impos es serious hardship upon this section of the county and upon these people. They suf fer great detriment financially as these lands are fitted by nature to stock. With all this a more hospitable, kind-hearted people can not be found. Foreston was reached a little after night. Mr. W. T. P. Sprott took charge of our horse. We stopped over night at the elegant and hospitable home of Mr. B. 0. Cantey. We attended prayer meeting at the Method ist chuurch, and listened to a fine, thought ful exhortation from Rev. Mr. Bissel on God's love. A sweet refreshing sleep after much fatigue and intricate travel, enabled us next morning to take in a full view of the town and people. Broad Branch, mid way from Foreston to Brewington, is in the ring of the greatest prosperity. The farm ers are of one sentiment: they look to be full of enterprise. Along this road from Foreston we saw some fine corn and luxuri ant cotton. In the Brewington section crops are unusually fine. The lake is a charming water course, across which spans the long Brewington bridge. To cross the northern prong of Black River, was a her culean task. Commissioner Hobbs has been there. Our pony gave way more than once, but with effort after effort she went lorth, over obstruction, through mud and difficulty, till at last we reached the shore of Salem. Salem, Mr. Editor, is the place where ev ery candidate likes to go. It has always been the greatest pleasure to visit those people: you simply are at ease in every home and are made welcome at all times. Their homes are open to the stranger. In Salem at this time you have a plenty of de licious sweet cider, watermelons, and fruit of every variety. A night spent with Mr. Joe Gibbons was indeed pleasant. Capt. Pat Gibbons was there in his usual habili nient of humor. This old Roman of seven ty-nine sumnners is as young and cheerful as a school boy. His polhtical views are sought for by those-who inquire, and when he gives an opinion as to how the political pot boils, you may just as well fold your arms. WVe found Tillman very strong in Salem. To get the vote of the people, a candidate must swallow Tillmon with his platform and all. This was not hard for some of us to do, for w~e were decidedly Tilhman all the while. -r. ILOW'S THIS?

School Exhibition in Salem. An evening of enjoyment and wvonder was spent at the closing exercises of Miss Maud Reid's school at Reidville school house in Sandy Grove Township the 19th inst. Some time before the appointed hour arrived the seats around the stand were oc eupied by anxious spectators of all ages. Buggies and wagons were used as special reserve seats. At eight sharp the curtains moved slowly apart, disclosing a handsome ly decorated stage with a beautiful little girl, Miss Dessie McElveen, who gav'e the introductory recitation. Next we had Mamma's Darling, by Miss Susan Hicks. I think everybody felt like they wvanted to kiss the little creature when she finished. Charade-What I Shall Be, by six little boys.

[X'ews and Courier.] ATXOwr, July 28.-Mr. Charleton Brown, while returning from Manning th" evening of the 26th instant, was thrown from his horse, receiving several wounds in his face and a very bad scalp wound. A large number of citizens from this sec tion attended the campaign meeting in Manning on the 26th instant. They return ed home feeling proud of Clarendon for giving every candidate arespectful hearing. The miajority of the votirs here are Anti Tillmanites, andI they are heartily in favor of a primary. The crops in this section are finer than those of last year. Corn and cotton are es pecially good. Potatoes are good, but the pea crop does not compare with last year's crop. Mrs. F. A. Holdge has a field of corn that will produce between fifty and sixty bushels per acre. Mrs. Hodge is one of the best farmers in the community. Capt. D. W. Alderman is building two tobacco houses near his lumber mills. He thinks that tobacco can be profitably grown in this county, and thus far has been very Mccessful. Capt. Alderman is a thorough business man and one of the most success .ul in the county. Miss Addie McFaddin, of Oakland, is v-isiting friends in Orangeb'erg. Mr. J. H.

SANDY GRovE, August 4. -Our club has Rlected its delegates, all solid for Tillman tnd reform but uninstructed as to county )fficers. The Antis in our midst seem from the naneuvering around to think that Maj. [and can land them on the other side of he river, but if all reports be true he'll find iimself and followers left on the do-nothing dde. The cry is repeal the lien and home tead laws, or that give us the homestead aw in its creative purpose and abolish the ien law, and let the farmer live. Our contesting candidates for the Senate vere among us the other day, all good fel ows, very complimentary. Mr. J. Mc.

S.) as a tonic and general lealth restorer, also in case of blood poison it always gives satisfaction." Years of Suffering. "For years I have been troubled with a blood taint that has baffled the ikill of the best physicians of Ohio tud Indiana, the disease finally effect ed my eyes to such an extent that I was almost blind. I was then induced to take a course of Swift's Specific (S. S. S.) and am thankful to say that a! er taking a few bottles I was entirely 3ured. My eyesight is entirely re stored, and my general health is bet ter than it has been for years, and there is no trace of the disease left. I consider S. S.

Sumter Rebuked. Tillman has come and gone. The 26th inst. which was looked forward to with so eeuch eager expectancy by the rank and file >f Claren don's Democracy has also been placed upon the calendar of the past. And what a glorious record too will be written or that day. Clarendon is proud of her ions; they have added new lustre to the Eir name of their county, and once more proved themselves as in the past, nature's eoblemen. Earle has spoken: what a quiet ind dignified hearing he received. What a :ontrast to Sumter. Where were the Clar endon toughs that they did not howl him lown ? there were none there. The tough is not indigenous to the soil of Clarendon. Eou will have to look elsewhere for the con lition of soil and climate to mature that plant, probably in the neighborhood of harleston and Columbia. What a rebuke to Sumter was the meeting f the 26th. After they had heaped insult >n the men of Clarendon, and then to sully Ler fair name by denominating them roughs, :oughs, and rowdies, notwithstanding the evidence of Capt. Bob Howell, Col. Fowler, nd others. The boys of Clarendon took he most effective means of giving such pub ic misstatements the lie direct, and proving o the world that they are a quiet and order y body of men. They will have to look to >ther sources for the disgraceful conduct at Sumiter, and I would suggest as the root of hat day's evil the Earle infantile brigade mnd Haskell's bull-dozers. Tillman, the aian whom Clarendon delights to honor, rollowed Earle and was listened to with marked attention, with the exception of two >ther attempts at interruption from Col. Earle. Straws show whiech way the wind blows. J. H. Earle is the last man who should have attempted any such thing, and we are glad that Mr. Tillman rebuked him. [t just occurs to mc that if Col. Earle had arnestly tried to control his mad howlers imported) at the Sumter meeting Sumter at east would not have had the mortification f having such a1 disgraceful page written in er history. Well done, Clarendon ! nobly lone ! You have removed a stigma from four name and placed it where it belongs, m the county of Sumter, and more espec ally on those who call themselve Anti illmanites.
