Room's DxemocATeic EXECUTIvE CoMe~irTE, CLAMENJON CoUTN'I. Manning, S. C., August 20, 1890. A meeting of the County Democratic Ex etive Committee is hereby called, to be held in the court house in Manning. Fri day morning, Aug.29, 1890, at 10.30 o'clock. According to action of last convention, those clubs that withdrew from the conven tion will be entitled to representation at this meeting of the Executive Committee. . J. BADHAy, s. A. NETTLES, Ser.,- Connty Chairman. K. of P. meets to-morrow night. All the Democratic clubs in the county meet ne;t Saturday. The juveniles of this place left this morning to cross bats with the midgets of Foreston. The Manning literary club met at the residence of Mr. J. T. Stukes last Monday night. Candidates must file their pledges with the county chairman by or be fore Tuesday, Aug. 26th. The officers in the court house are suffering with what may be termed anxious-for-something-to-do. The cottage that is being built for Mr. C. R. Harvin will soon be com pleted and ready for occupancy. Mr. N. B. Barrow, of Salem, says the crops in his section are excellent, and the prospect for a good harvest is first class. Work has commenced on the new colored Methodist church, and it is proposed to make it an ornament to the town. Remember the town treasurer is receiving the street and property tax. The books will close on the first of September. Club rolls certified to by the presi dent and secretary must be filed with the county chairman by or before Tuesday, August 26th. Silver Alliance meets next Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock. A full attend ance is desired, as business of impor tance will be transacted. Now since the court house has been painted and the fence whitewashed no place in the State can show up a pret tier square than Manning. All able-bodied male persons from 16 to 50 years of age, except students going to school, teachers, or ministers of the gospel, are liable to pay the street tax. Remember that club rolls must be filed with the county chairman not later than Tuesday, Aug. 26th. See notice under head of "Call for county convention."

Kalisky says that he will have the largest stock this fall that he has ever had, and that he proposes to take the lead in selling cheap all through the cotton season. People owning building lots in this town are standing in their own light by not building houses on them. Neat cottages are in demand, and can be rented at a fair price. At the meeting of the council Mon day night Warden Pack tendered his resignation, as he was going to leave the town. His resignation was ac cepted with regrets by his brother councilmen. Mr. M. Levi must have bought a tremendous stock while at the North as his wagons have been continually hauling during the past two weeks, and are still hard down bringing in large boxes. One night last week Mr. Butler Dui Bose had an encounter with a mad dog in the piazza of his father's house. As he approached the house, the dog showed signs of fight, whereupon Mr. DuBose shot five bullets into the dog causing instant death. The town council have ordered an other supply of street lamps. Our city fathers believe in taking us out of darkness and bringing us into light. They also propose to open some more new streets, thus giving people a chance of utilizing their town lands for building lots. JTust arrived at Kalisky's a fine lot of Irish potatoes. Rev. E. A. McDowell assisted by Rev. E. D. Wells has for the past ten days been conducting a very interest ing religious meeting at Home Branch church. Nine converts were baptized last Saturday afternoon in Tindal's millpond. The meeting will continue the remainder of the week. Just received, fresh and genuine Turnip Seed, at Dinikins & Co.'s. Last Saturday a very enjoyable dinner party was given at the beauti ful home of Mr. James E. Davis, a short distance from town, in honor of friends who are visiting Mr. Davis's family. The party consisted of about twentyv-five young ladies and gentle men, quite a number of them being from Manning. Kalisky has just received a fine lot of trunks and valises, also all kinds of school books. Last Wednesday afternoon, while we were at press, our office was hon ored by a visit from seven of Man ning's most beautiful and accomplish ed yourng ladies. The visit was highly appreciated by us, and our foreman, like a gallant Knight, took pleasure in explaining to them the mechanism of our cylinder press, and showed them how we bring out the Tres. Buy yonr Turnip Seed from J. G. Din kins & Co.'s Drug Store. Next Saturday is a very important day with the Democl-ats of this coun ty: every man should lay all business aside and attend the meeting of his club. Delegates are to be elected to attend the coi'nty convention, which will elect delegates to the State nomi nating convention. County officers will also be nominated, therefore it behooves every man to turn out. Fresh and genuine Turnip Seed, all v-ari eties, at Dinkins & Co.'s. The causeway across Pocotaligo is already in excellent condition, but Maj. E. C. Horton, under whose su pervision the work is done, says he proposes making it still better-the best causeway in the county. Thou sands of cart-loads of sand have been hauled in, and the causeway raised in some places more than three feet. We doubt if any one could have done the work better and cheaper. Blank titles,* mortgages, liens, bills of sale, and other legal blanks for sale at low est prices by Dr. L. W. Nettles, Foreston. The town council had a meeting Monday night, and the clerk submit ted his quarterly report ending July 15. The report shows the receipts, including $480.15 received from for-m er council, to be $881.25. And the expenditures, including $36.60 which should have been paid by former council, to be $612.78, leaving a bal ance on hand of $268.47. The pres ent council has done a vast amount of work, and of course it necessitated the expending of a gr-eat deal of mon ey, but the work is done now and the town is in better condition than it iThere has been a general advance in prices of all kinds of provisions. Many thanks to Mr. J. H. T. Coul liette for a bucket of delicious figs. Last Monday a cloud-burst struck the plantation of Mr. J. W. McLeod. A tremendous amount of water fell, but no damage was done. Moses Levi is back from the North, and next week will have his say to the people. He has bought largely, and says lie will sell cheaper than ever. The M ANai Tios; Job Office is prepared at shortest notice to print any kind of letter heads, envelopes, circulars, etc., and in the best style. Give us a chance. A match game of base ball was played yesterday at Juneville between Foreston and Juneville resulting in a score of 8 to 9 in favor of Juneville. A large crowd including a good many ladies witnessed the game which was close and interesting. Mr. C. L. Emanuel, of the Fork sec tion, brought the first bale of cotton of the season to Manning yesterday. The cotton was placed on the market, and sold for 10 1-2 cents per pound. Mr. Emanuel says he will have anoth er bale on the market before the end of the week. The last State convention paid Clar endon the compliment of giving us a member of the State executive com mittee. M. C. Galluchat, Esq., of this town, was elected as one of the two members from the sixth congress ional district. Mr. Galluchat is con servative in his views. and will make a strong member of the committee. Joseph F. Rhame, Esq., has for a number of years been an influential and prominent member of this com mittee. Accident at a Saw Mill. Mr. Judson Bradham sustained a very dangerous and painful accident at Brad ham's mill this morning about 9 o'clock. While at work butting off lumber the chain holding the butting saw broke, and the saw flying up struck him on the left elbow, cut ting a fearful gash about three inches in length, and opening the elbow joint. It will be a long time before Mr. Bradham will be able to use his arm, and it is very likely that it will be stiff for life. This is truly a sad case as Mr. Bradham is a hard working young man, with a large family dependent oi his daily exertions for support.__ Manning Farimer' h Platform Clib. Every member of the Manning Farmers' Platform Democratic club will please attend I the meeting at 3 o'clock next Saturday af ternoon, Aug. 23rd, in the court house, for the purpose of electing delegates to the county convention to be held Aug. 29th.

Early callers will secure the choicest bar gains. Everything sold for cash. MRS. M. 0. BURGESS. Manning, S. C., August, 1890. A Word to Merchants. The first bale of cotton came to town yes terday, and this one will be followed by many niore. The people that make cotton are people that buy such things as our mer chants keep for sale, and it would be to the! advantage (f the merchant to advertise his' wares through the papers, so that people may know before leaving home with whom they expect to trade. it is folly to think that people do not take time to read adver tisements: they do, and it is very often the case that a farmer before leaving his home makes up a list of the goods he desires to purchase from the advertisements lie finds in his county paper. The mission of a county paper is not on ly to let the people know what is going on, but also to let them know who can offer the best bargains, and when they see that a merchant has the go-aheaditiveness to ad vertise his goods they at once come to the conclusion that he is trying to out-do hisI competitors, and, to carry out his purpose. bargains await them by giving him a trial. The MANmIN TD:ES justly claims to be the best advertising medium in the coun ty. We not only have a large circulation, but we have one of the newsiest county pa pers in the State, and two of our merchants told us yesterday that their advertising was a first class paying investment. Charleston's Mercantile Offers. We publish this wveek a few new adver tisements from Charleston, to which we take pleasure in calling our readers' attention. John T. Connor. cotton factor and coim mission merchant, asks our people to give him a trial. He is a young man full of en ergy and thoroughly reliable, has his own warehouses, an d gives his business personaul Iattention. lHe is prepared to make libeial advances on any cotton that may be shippet I to him, andwill handle it as cheap as it can be handled by any firm in Charleston Our farmers have made good crops this 'year. and are in hetter.condition to imiprove their places by building new houses, etc. I you want any lime', p~laste.r paris, or any thing in the building material line, you w ill do well to send an order to that old andr liable commission mierchant,- A. McCobb, Jr. The Charleston Mlattress Manu factu ringC' Company is an institution established in Charleston. for which there was great need. Instead of sending North for mattresses, spring beds, lounges, etc. w~e can go to this Icompany and get what we want in this hut cheaper than can be purchased at the North er factories. This company mianufacture largely, and while in the city a few days ago they showecd us orders from large Ihrms in Indina and other states, proving conclu-I sively that they are compuieting with similar institutions throughout the Unitd State.

Grand Ball at Panola. SnXvER, Aug. 1i0.-We were completely captured on the night ot the 11th by the good ladies of th is communiity. Several in vitations had bee-n warmly tendered us to be0 pre-ent. at the Panoila Acackmyi, where of course we ahvaays ienjoy ouisclf in the most agrecable manner. The largi- building was haafnomlv f estoon ed with i-vergreens, 5 nea:tly decorated by the hands of fair damu The nig4ht wa s bught and clear, and the stars so thicilv studdetd the bhu-w sky that hlven's c:hoieest bles-sirngs seemed to orer shadow us.

Like a charm, like clock work, everything went merry as a weddm'ittI bll. ancing was the feature of the occasion, antd while I am no judge of dancing, yet from general opinion it was the grandes-t scene, the grandest evening everi w itnessetd by the community. Charm after charm rnet your eye, love's frit tere-d delusion, "poor poll's doll,' fell like a whirlpool that yon could see how fearful a poor boy~ went home, buried in hope of someO day to c-herish forever the smiles of the young ladies whichb so charmingly graced the night.

To mention in detail all the qualifications and duties of a Sunday-school teacher would be to enumerate many qualifications which few of us possess, and many duties which very few teachers perform. We shall there fore mention only a few which in onr judg ment are indispensable and most important. The first, and one that is absolutely nec essary, is that the teacher should himself be a true believer in the Triune God and a consistent member in sonme branch of the christian church; that he shoultd be familiar with the leading doctrines of the church, so as to be able to tell the children what he believes and why in such plain lang-tage that their minds may comprehend. To ac complish this ho should make himself fa miliar with the scriptures in order to sup port his statements by a "Thus saith the Lord." Hie shoul have an amiable dispo sition and be "apt to teach," possessing a clevr tact in communicating to others the truth in~ his own mind, making it clear by familiar illustration. His heart, in the second place, should be in his work, having an earnest desire to draw the children to Christ, and this he shouhl strive to (do not only by precept on the Sabbath while engaged with his class, but also by a consistent christian walk and conversation during the week, thus proving that he is sincerely and deeply in earnest in regard to their spiritual and eternal wvelfare. A Sunday-school teacher should during the week study the topics of the lesson and make himself' as familiar as possible with the truth to be developed from it. He should make every effort to be punctually at his post every Sabbath at the hour for opening school, and should adopt the best methods he can to cause the children to be prompt also. Perhaps the-re is nothing more attrac tive to the children than a well selected cir culating library. In hearing the lesson it is well to inter sperse questions and explanations illustra tive of the truth, and also to encourage thme class to ask for information on any points which may be mysterious to their young minds. Ife should impress upon their minds the truth of' the immortality of the soul and its price-less value; show how through the fall of Adam, our federal head and representative, all purity and holiness of chairacter was lost; that the whole race descending from him has inherited a de praved nature and are inclined only to the ways of sin and evil, the natural heart being at enmity with God. He should point out the necessity for the new birth, or as it is termed in the tible regeneration. He will then point them to Jesus Christ, the Saviour; show what he has done for our redemption, and how deeply in ear-nest we shoul be for our own and the salvation of others, ex plaining clearly that there is no other wvay than thirough the blood and merits of Christ Jesus, who is our great substitute, sacrifice, and mediator, once an offering for sin, now highly exalted, the great High Priest and advoate for his pecople. Tell them that Christ Jesus, by the once offering up of himself' a sacrilice for our sins, has pur eiasetd ett-rnal redemption for all who will acept the offer on his terms, wvhich are free ant ample. thme simpile exercise of faith in him, which faith it' true and sincere is sur-c to lie followed byv a life of obedience mani f-std in our daily conduct. The Master says, "T'he tree is known by its fruit." At the same time he should be-careful to warn thmn against a Pharisaic confidence in their own professions and good works, but en daor to teach them that any good which w-e may do is not the result of aryv inherent "ood in us, but only the outgrowth of the 'rc, of Godtt in our hearts, graciously be stwd a nd applied through the instru mntlity of tho Hioly Spirit, and all through th. merits of Christ to wvhom be all the "loi.
