THEMflG TIMESJ M9aiI ini 19,20 CL S. A. NErTLES, Editor. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 14,1891. PUSH THE TOWN FORWARD. One evening last week while in conversa tion with a gentleman who is a well-to-do citizen of this county, we learned from him that he had made his arrangements to move his family to the city of Sumter in or der that he might give his children the ad vantage of a good school. We tried to pur suade him to change his mind and move to Manning, and he told as that he came here several times to look for a suitable dwelling house, and failed to find one that could be rented. He said he preferred coming to Manning as it would suit his business bet ter than Sumter but being unable to pro cure a house in Manning he was forced to select Sumter. This is one of the instances wherein the prosperity of our town is checked, and who Js to blame for it? We have been doing our utmost to convince the property owners of Manning that it is to their interest as well as to the interest of the town to have their empty building lots built up. If sev eral neat cottages are built, and the owners will rent them at a reasonable price, they would be occupied as soon as finished, but when a man is iooking out for a place to lo cate, and cannot find a house that he can rent, there is nothing left for him to do but to seek elsewhere. As has often been said through these col =mns Manning is as fine a town as one could wish to live in. It has the advantage of good society, schools, churches, a irst class trade centre, and everything to make a good live town if the citizens themselves would go to work and build it -up. It is all a piece of nonsensical extravagance to keep a two hundred dollar lot to pasture a fifteen dolar cow, or a two dollar hog, when on that lot could be placed a neat dwelling which would be an ornament to the town as well as a profitable investment to the owner. We mention these things because we feel interested in the welfare of the town, and when we hear a man that would make a good citizen say that he preferred moving to Manning but could not find a house to rent we feel that our property owners are asleep to their own interest as well as the interest of the town. In a number of towns in this State, joint stock companies were organized under the name of land improvement companies. 'These organizations would buy up lands, open up streets, and sell lots at a reasonabla prce. The result has always been that tne companies mad3 money for the stockholders at the same time induced people to move into their towns and build up the property. Such towns have increased in population, and the property increased in value. All branches of business were benefitted and the citizens competed with each other in ad vaneing the welfare of their towns. There is no necessity for Manning to keep in the rear of progress because wbat has been done in other towns can be ac complisbed here, if the citizens themselves will wake up and show a determination to push forward. A building and land im provement company can be organized here, property can be bought and divided up in to building lots, houses can be built either fIr sale, or for rent, and our population can be increased. There is a class- of people when approached on this subject will say *It won't do" or -it won't pay." The same was said about the bank before its organiza tion, and but little encouragement was giv en to the movers in that project, but the men that took hold of that project were not t- be discouraged by those afraid to invest. They went to work, and their last report nade as fine -financial showing as any other bank in the State. The very people that were afraid to invest in the bank now say they do not see how Manning ever got along without abank. It will be the same way if -a building and land improvement company Is started. Some people will pay "it won't pa"but after determined business men take bold of its management and make a sooness of it, they wail wonder how Man ning'ever got along without such an institn "Let us then be up and doing." Organ zeinstitutions that will place our beautiful and healthy town in the line of progress with other towns. It can be done if we will make the proper effort by showing a deter mination to make improvements. The comncmnt is always the most difficult, bu nethe ball of progress is set in mo tion its revolutions become so rapid and thrso much force that obstacles of a - -vs nature are crushed out of existence. We need another railroad to open up trade with our county st, and we ought to *have it, but as iong as we sit down Micaw ber-like waiting for something to turn up -we are dnetined to keep waiting. We must exhibit a disposition to help ourselves and d o itin such away as toattract the outside world and then capital from abroad will recognize our energes by extending to us a helping hand. Ten our needed railroad will come, along with factories and other -business industries and Manning will be an example for some other town to imitate. From present indications Senator Ingalls, of Kansas, will be retired to private life, as eighty of the ninety one alliance members of the Kansas general assembly have already ex their opposition to him. If Ingalls is defeated his defeat wHi be hailed with joy by the people -of the South, because he has always been the champion hater of the Southern States. The heels of the News and Courier most be very sore from the amount of kicking it has done of late with reference to any and everything done by the present regime, and in to-day's -issue by way of variety it says: "We have no doubt that Mr. A. W. Jones, of Abbeville, who has been elected State phosphate, inspector by the phshte commission, will make a ioroughly efficient officer, Hie has no experience in this kind of work, buthe isa carefull, painstaking, and competent business man, and there is no reason to doubt that. he will ren der theState good service. The'last will and testament of the late Emma Abbott was admitted to probate in New York last Monday. Th ildirects the cremation of her body, and after making liberal be quests to her parents, relatives, and friends, she bequeathed five thousand dollars to the Citadel Square Baptist church, of Charleston. The bulk of her estate was willed to charitable in stitutions in New York. Miss Abbott -was a widow, whose deceased hus band's name was Wetherell. On the stage she retained her maiden name, but her will is signed Emma Abbott Wetherell. She was a great favorite with Charlestonianis, and among some of the best families she had many warm friends. Rev. W. T. Tolson, of Columbia, is still waging war against Columbia's being in league with Satan. In his sermon denouncing the city govern ment, the Young Men's Christian As sociation, and the Columbia Club, he made very grave charges, and the members of these organizations are bringing down their indignant wrath upon the reverend gentleman. Last Monday he desired to appear before the city council to make complaint against the evils he denounced in his sermon, and to demand the enfe:-ce ment of the law by the souncil. May or McMaster stated that if Mr. Tolson desired to appear before the council be would first be required to petition for permission, otherwise he could not apnear. The Democratic caucus of the gen eral assembly of North Carolina met Monday and renominated Senator Zeb Vance for United States Senator without opposition, and also passed a resolution instructing their represent atives to secure if possible the objects of the financial reform contemplated in the Ocala platform. This insures the return of the grand old senator, and under said resolution Senator Vance and his colleague are instructed to support the sub-treasury scheme. There was tremendous opposition to -the return of Senator Vance until he made his written promise to support the demands of the Alliance if so in structed. All opposition was with drawn on the receipt of this promise, and he was renominated by acclama tion amid great enthusiasm. His elec tion is a foregone conclusion. A man who has practiced medicine for 40 years. ought to know salt from sugar; read what he says: ToLrno, 0., Jan. 10, 1887. Messrs.F. J.

Have prescribed it a great many times and its effect is wonderful, and would say in conclusion that I have yet to find a case of catarrh that it would not cure, if they would take it according to directions.

Miss Nellie Richlena writes me from Maidenton P. 0., making the following in quiries: "Is it really telling a story when friends make you a social visit, and 'tis not convenient for you to receive and entertain them at the time, to excuse yourself by be. ing 'not at home,'and is there ary sin by so doing?" Now, Miss Nellie, you have got me sure. It seems to be the usual custom in towns and cities to do as you say, and no one thinks it's wrong. It's the fashion and you know it won't do to butt against fashion. But in pure orthodox style it is a refined false hood, and will not bear the scrutiny of the theologians. It being thus, is a dainty sin of the bonton order and no doubt it will receive its share of fire and brimstone at the general distribution on the last great day. Why not tell your visitors frankly and truthfully that you are too busy mak ing sausages, or too lazy to dress up to re ceive them? If you were to do that way in the country you would soon neither have visitors or friends. When visitors come to see us we know they have come to spend the day, and the "gude wife" immediately kills a chicken and ch irns for dinner; therefore, as for myself, I like to have my neighbors visit us, for there will be pudding for din ner that day sure. Yes, Miss Nellie, it is always best to tell the truth under any and all circumstances, although for telling it on one occasion it got me into a sight of trouble, and a good lick ing in the bargain. If you will excuse per sonal references I'll relate it tc you. When I was about ten years old my moth er, a widow, moved to Sumter, S. C., to edu cate her five small children. My youngest brother, Judson, and myself were sent to Mr. Willis Alston as teacher. Our school generally adjourned from 12 o'clock on each Friday until the following Monday morn ing. On a certain Friday evening Mr. Al ston's two sons, Jim and Charlie, my broth er Judson and myself went to a large branch about a mile from town. Jim being the eldest bossed the party. He carried along an old pistol, saying he was going to protect us from Bow-leg Sam, a negro man, then a runaway, belonging to Mr. William Br-un son. He had been frequently seen in that vicinity. We soon arrived at the branch, which contained a large shallow basin that we were in the habit of bathing in, but as 'twas then in the sickly part of the summer our parents had forbidden our continuing i.Jim and myself went up the branch in quet of birds to shoot, leaving Charlie and Jdson at the wash-hole. While we were absent they went in bathing. We were gone some hours, and on our return found Char lie with a headache and hot fever, and Jud son looking as innocent as a lamb. Jim accused Charlie of bathing, and threatened to inform his father of it. Charlie replied tat if he did he would tell about Jim's go. ing bathing in the brick-yard hole the day before. This quieted Jim. Yet the fact re mained that Charlie was very sick, and we made for home. It was agreed that some good excuse had to be assigned for Charlie's illness other than bathing. After much de liberation Judson suggested that we tell them at home that while Jim and myself were absent that Bow-leg Sam came to them, and on their threatening to tell on him he got a switch and gave both of them a good whipping. That was the tale to be told. I did not openly champion it, but by my si lence they assumed my assent. In fact I was sorter afraid cf Jim to actively oppose their little program, for he was ever ready to beat us smaller boys into submission. He would fight at the drop of a hat, and take pleasure in dropping it himself. In going home we passed directly through Mr. Alston's yard. On arriving there the trio went right into the house and told their little tale. In a moment all was con fusion and indignation. In the meantime]I took occasion to go home, which was near by, and told mother the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth about the affair. As soon as Mr. Alston heard it he hurried down town to organize a posse tc hunt Bow-leg Sam. M&y mother repaired at once over to Mr. Alston's and told his wife 'what I had told her, who immediately dis patched a servant to inform Mr. Alston of the true state of affairs and stop the posse. When Mr. Alston returned home that even ing he brought with him two keen cowhide whips, and with one of them immediately went to work on Jim. Mother had taken Judson home on her return from Mrs. Al ston's, and with a weli used leather strap made him dance "Jim crack corn" in apple pie order. It was more than a week before he could sit fiat down in a chair with any degree of comfort; so he said. As for Char lie, his dividend was promptly paid with nterest as soon as he got well of the fever. Alas, wretched youth that I was, I got my dose later in the season. At school the fol lowing Monday I saw that blood was in Jim's eye, and was convinced of the fact when he whispered in school-time to me, "Just wait, red-head, until I catch you down street and the fur will fiy." It is needless for me to state that "down street" from that mo ment had lost all attractions for me. Yet in an unguarded moment "down street' found me, and I soon discovered something else, for on turning a corner, happy in my youthful innocence, who of all should I run up with but Jim. Now, thought I, is the time t~o put in play my athletic training, and in short-order let out with Jim just be hind me, and here let me state that I did nol do this tall running from a'y cowardice, bul simply to absent myself quickly from Jim. It was indeed a "home stretch" with me, and I would have gladly given my little "kingdom for a horse." I soon found that "the race is not always to the swift," for an unlucky root caught my foot and down ] went with Jim on top of me. He at once commenced his pugilistic art on me, and between his blows and hair pulling would shower handfulls of sand in my mouth and eyes. Seeing that he was having all the fun and poor pay for me, I opened negotiations with him for a cessation of hostilities. Aftei giving him all my marbles, top, and knite, h let up on me with the admonition, "Now, I dare you to tell it." I solemnly promised him that I would not even breathe it to a living soul, and I took special pains to keep that promise. Jim left me whistling "yan kee doodle was a dandy," and I went to the ditch near by and after washing the sand from my mouth and the refined clay frome my eyes, I sat on that ditch bank and came to the deliberate conclusion that imitatina the immortal Washington's example in this instance was a delusion and a snare.

A PaRE SoFA CuSio.-First, a large square pillow is made and cov ered with plain satin. Then the out er cover or tidy is made of a square of soft twilled linen which is finished on all sides with a narrow, invisible hem to which a crocheted lace edge is neatly sewed; the edge is open enough to show the bright satin through its meshes and yet firm enough to lie smoothly and stay in place. The trimmed square is nearly as wide as the width of the cushion from corner to corner diagonally. The cover is folded over the cushion, the points nearly meeting at the centre of the upper side; satin ribbons, laced through openings in the edging, are tied in careless but secure bows in the centre and a little way from eacn cor ner, thus making of the cover a snug fitting case much ornamented on one side and nearly plain on the other (the uppermost side when in actual use). When once arranged and the ribbons tied and cut, it is best to se cure them permanently to the cushion by setting a few stitches in each where it passes straight over the cushion under the bows; they are thus kept in place ready to be retied whenever the cover is to be replaced after having been removed for cleansing. An acru tinted cover over deep red satin, pure white over gold color, or cream-white over old pink or blue would be pretty. -Arthur's Home Magazine. SALxoN SAn wrrH CELERY.-One half pound shredded and boned co!d boiled salmon, one-half as much chop ped celery. Rub smooth the yelks of two hard boiled eggs in one table spoonfal-salad oil; add one-half coffee cup each sweet cream and cider vine egar, one teaspoonful sugar, also of mustard, one-half teaspoonful salt. Pour lightly over salmon and celery; arrange over the salad the sliced whites of eggs and curly celery leaves. Sliced lemons should be served in quaint sauce-plates after having been pared and seeded. Sift over slices granulated sugar. RAnoAD C.xE.-One pint sweet milk, one pint sugar, three eggs beat en separtely, one and a half teaspoon fuls good baking powder, one teaspoon ful lemon; stir in sifted flour until the batter is the consistency of pancake batter; pour into a hot buttered pan until covered; bake quickly; spread with cranberry sauce, then roll while hot.

LEMON PIE WIT Two CRsrs.-Pulp and juice of one lemon, part of the grated rind, one cupful of cold water, one cupful of sugar, four small tea spoonfuls of powdered crackers, one teaspoonful of unnmelted butter cut into bits. Mix together all but the butter and scatter the bits over the top after it is in the lower crust. Place another good crust, with air holes, cut in some pretty designs, and bake. Before cutting very rich cake dip the knife in hot water and you will have no crumbs. When silver spoons become discol ored from eggs scour them with fine table salt. This will remove the dis coloratiorn, which is caused by the sulphur in~ the egg, and will not scratch or wear the silver. Tea should never be made in a tin pot. The tannic acid in tea unites with the tin and produces a poison. How 'ro Mm:~ Goon COFFEE.-If any of you are in the habit of "boiling over" the old grounds, adding a little fresh coffee each time and emptying the coffee pot once a week, or perhaps not so often, don't, I pray you, do so any more. Coffee, to have a delicious flavor, must be made absolutely fresh every time, with fresh, boiling water, and should be drank inside of twenty minutes after brewing. Don't "heat up" what was left in the coffee pot from the last meal and add to it the fresh, for by such means the whole is spoil ed. But you do not wish to throw any away. Very well, let me tell you how to manage so that none will be, wasted and still you may make fresh coffee each meal. Have a little bag made of cheese-eloth into which put your ground coffee (we take it for granted that it is of good quality and has been properly roasted), have the bag large enough to allow room for the coffee to swell, tie it up, pour on boiling water-which should not have boiled long-in the proportion of one cup of water to one tablespoonful of coffee; let it boil not longer than five to seven minutes; set it back where it will keep hot, and serve as soon as practicable. You will have a delicious beverage and, on account of the grounds being confined in a bag, every particle of the liquid can be used, and there is no waste. After the meal empty and wash both bag and coffee pot, hanging up the former to dry for use next time. Of course, good cream is one of the essentials. Hood's Sarsaparilla Is a peculiar medicine. It Is carefully prepared from sarsaparlla, Dandelion, Mandrake, Dock, Pipsissewa, Juniper Berries, and other well-. known and valuable vegetable remedies, by a peculiar combination, proportion and process, giving to Hood's sarsaparilla curative power not possessed by other medicines.

It has been in use for more than twenty years; thousands of patients have been tireat. ed, and over one thousand phy sicians havE used it. and recommend it-a very signiti cant fact. It does Dot act as most drugs do, by crc ating another ailment, and henefitting one organ at the expense of another, often re quiring a second course to eradicate the evil effects of the first, but Compound Oxygen is a revitalizer, renewing, strengthening, in. vigorating the whole body. These statements are confirmed by nu merous testimonials, published in our book of 200 pages, only with the express permis sion of the patients; their names and ad dresses are given, and you can refer to them for further information.

But any substance made elsewhere or by others, anda called Compound Oxygen, is spurious. "Compound Oxygen-Its Mode of Action and Rests," is the title, of a new book of 2001 pages, published by Drs.
