Belser came very near getting his store burned on last Thursday night. A lot of matebes caught fire on the shelf, but for the clerk, Mr. Ward, awaking from the noise of the popping of the fire the store would have been burned. Prof. P. G.

SnvF.E, Jan. 12.--I made my bow for Christmas in due time, but owing to ill heahh this could not see the light. 1890 is now numbered with the past. The old year with all its vicissitudes, cares, glories, and revelries will be seen no more forever. Our thoughts may go back. Ab, what record it has made upon our lives can only be rea lized at the great day. Chiistmas was pleas antly enjoyed. The weather was very in cleent, to say the least it was disagreeable. But with all this we spent our Christmas abroad, feasted, and talked the time away. One of our visits was of the most sociable kind. -We joined a party to pay homage to one whose venerable life has a history, whose ministerial character has no euzual, whose age exceeds many of which in his 8th year lie is a living monument, one who can "preach with as much power and strength, whose voice to-day is as strong and melodious as on his first entrance into the ministry. Rev. H. W. Mahoney is one of the most remarkable men in this whole sec tion of church history. H2 has been pastor of Calvary Baptist church for sixty-two years. It was at his eldest son's, Mr. J. H. Mahoney's, by his special invitation, we dined on Christmas day. He desired to se lect the party as inear the age of his father as possible. The dinner was given espec ially to his aged father, and it is more than likely such another opportunity never will be afforded us. While the preparations were of the most inviting kind, and Mr. and Mrs. Mahoney did everything in their powver to redrtergue'sts agreeable, comfortable and happy, w-hile their bountiful table was spread with many viands, we yet felt sad, for there were few among the invited guests that will probably meet on another Christ mas day. On the 31st was the festival at the Panola Academy. I kept moving for the TL'xs. This was not a whit behind her former un dertakings. These Panolaites are a wide. awake people; they never undertake any thing and tail. This was a grand under taking, which realized a noble reward. Woman's mighty deeds will never cease. The zeal of our women, their efforts to re model their church are shown with happy results. On New Year's day we visited Packsville. This suburban town is coming into notice. Since the erection of the fine Baptist church~ Packsville looks breezy. It may be with a litte capital, her city incorporated, that this will prove a prosperous town. Without incorporation no little town can maintain its good society. P'acksville, like Silver, is daily infested with drunken and rowdy negroes who buy their hellfireation drops in Sumter, get off at these two stations, dc all manner of devilment, knowing there is Ino locid law to punish them. I this'k the -legislature acted very unwisely in not in Scorporating these two stations. But this was a day long to be remembered. t.It as a time, the crowning event of the se SIries of similar afinirs that have character ized the holiday season this year; the Packs ville tournament. The riding was jus Sj"simply splendid." 'There were nine knight handsome. The names of the knights whc rode were: F. H. Chewning, Knight of Pa nola; H. W. H-arvin, Omaha; T. H. Rhame IHampton Dragoons; Henry Beatson, Packs eile; Berry Miims, Manning; TI. J. Touch berry, Nellie Bly Cap; Joe Hodge, Sumter yJ. E. Carroll, Connor Mounted Riflemen 1lAnd last and least in sizd, but as gallant an any of the gallant riders, was Master H. E Culttino. Capt. A. L. Lesesne was king-at arms or herald of the day, and at 1 o'clocl the cavalcade debouched upon the field having entered the field at a gallop. The king-at-arms called each knight to the start and the riding was closely contested, an< was inspiring and exciting. The result wva: as follows:e H. W. Harvin, Knight of Omia hwntefirst prize; Henry Beatson, sec ond prize; T. H. Rhame, third prize. Then the crowning scene: Capt. A.

We have received a telegram from Mr. Charles McCatferty saying that he will be in Manning next Wednes day, January 21st, with a carload of excellent horses and mules. These mules and horses will be sold at auc tion, and the sale will take place, re gardless of the price bid for stock, or the state of the weather. Mr. Charles McCafferty is well known throughout this county, and in fact throughout the State, and it is useless for us to say that the bare an nouncement that Mcfafferty will be in town next Wednesday is sufficient to draw an immense crowd to town. Everybody who has any desire to buy a horse will be here. The business transactions of this gentleman are always characterized with fairness and honesty. Farmers and others desirous of ob tainig great bargains should not fail to attend this sale. Carolina North-South Road. EDITOR MANNING Tirs:-In last week's article attention was called to the fact that indicated air lines must often be varied from, in location, according to obstacles. Writing for laymen rather than profession als, the language should, perhaps, have been, 'according to obstacles encountered, or ad vantages offered;" for, with professionals, obstacles are negative advantages-advan tages, negative obstacles. Proceeding from Augusta, for instance, along the propbsed west-east route, it might be found advan tageous to deflect the line first to the town of Aiken, then to that of Orangeburgh, so as to get the greatest possible number of communities near the direct course inter ested in its construction. Then, "with a strong lift, a long lift and a lift altogether" from Augusta, Hamburg, Aiken, Orangeburg Manning, Kingstree, Conway, Shallotte and, Wilmington, and the counties in which they lie, the road may be placed upon its bed in running order. This is the day of co-oper ation, of combined resources, of united ac tion. Now for the proposed north-south road; and commencing south there can be no doubt as to that terminus-it must be Charleston; th-nce to Manning, 69 niles on an air line, though the swamps of Berkeley will hardly permit it to run "as the crow tieq." On reaching Manning, a choice of routes presents itself; Sumter, Camdekn, Lancaster and Charlotte being the guiding points of one-Mayesville, Chesterfield, Wadesbor ough, Albemarle and Salisbury, of the other. Surveys and subscriptions are the only practical tests by which to r-ach a wise de cision; surveys revealing obstacles and ad vantages of evety kind-subscriptions, the lifting power along the route. After all, however, capitalists have to furnish the money to build railroads; the people along a line can only encourage, and exchange mus cle for gold. Comparing distances: (1) Charleston to Manning 69 miles, to Sumter 13, to Canden 30, to Lancaster 32, to Charlotte 38-total 182; (2) Charleston to Manning G9, to Maye - ville 17, to Chesterfield 54. to Wadesborough 18, to Albemarle 28, to Salisbury 26-total 212. Each will develop a good country, and have first rate northern and intermedi ate connections. JoE' M. RIcaaRnDsoN. Manning, S. C., Jan. 12, 1891. W. F. OSTENDOFF, 223 1eeting St., Charleston, S.

News from Sumter. [Charleston World.] SurrF2, Jan. 7.-Conductor Hop good, of the local freight which runs between Sumter and Lanes, met with a very serious accident while attempt ing to couple two freight cars at the Coast Line depot here this morning. The engine was backing a train of cars into the side track to take up a box car standing there. The conduc tor called to the. brakeman to come and couple the car, but not coming at once, the conductor attempted to do the coupling himself. The, coupling pin had dropped on the ground be tween the rails, and in stooping to pick it up, he was struck by the end of the train that was being backed in, and was thrown with his body be tween, and both legs crossing, the rails. Before , the train could be checked one of the truck-s had run entirely over one leg and broken the other. His head and body were also badly bruised. .As soon as possible he was removed -to his boarding house, and Dr. A. J. China, surgeon for the road, was sum -moned. It was found necessary tc amputate the left leg just belowv the s knee, but the right which was -broken was put into plaster bandages IIin the hope of saving it. This after noon the doctor pronounced his pa. etient doing well, and he is in hopes he will pull through all right, though the s injuries are of a very serious nature Capt. Hopgood is quite a young .man, about twenty-five years of age and very popular with the officials o the road.~ His unfortunate acciden has created much concern among hi: many acquaintances here. The newvly elected board of count: commissioners took their seats yester day, and at once entered upon thi duties of the office. Col. J. V. Walsl was retained as clerk of the board ias was Dr. .J. A. Mood as physician t' tthe poor house and jail, and Mi Reese Durant as superintendent c the poor house. Office of LEVI BROTHERS, Dealers in General Merchandise. SrmTEn, S. C., Jan. 12, 1891. Editor Manning Times:-Please an nounce to our filends in Clarendon that we are prepared to make the very best terms with the members of the Fat mers' Alliance. Last year we did a very extensive business with the memlbers of this order, aud our busi ness relations were very pleasant, so much so that we are anxious for a continuance of that patronage. In or der to be fully prepared to meet their demands we have made complete ar rangements to furnish everything that a farmer may desire, and we guaran tee to furnish the very best quality of goods as cheap as any other house in the city of Sumter. Past experience teaches us that it would not be wise to make our con tracts for fertilizers too late in the sea son, as it very often happens that the shipping facilities become blocked and the farmer is thiown back with his work, thereby losing a great deal of valuable time, so we made our con tracts with the very best fertilizer factories last fall with the understand ing that our goods were to be shipped at once. By doing this we are pre pared to supply our customers with the best grades without delay. Our meat warehouse is already packed with choice meats which we purchased while the market was low, and we can furnish it cheaper at our store now than it can be purchased in Chicago. All of our heavy gro ceries were carefully purchased by one of the firm who has just returned from the west, where he spent some time in the interest of business. We are still offering great induce ments to the purchasing public by selling them a magnificent line of dress goods, trimmings, faLcy goods, novelties, hosiery, cloaks, sacques, wraps, and shawls at prices that are surprisingly low. We still have in stock a fine lot of flannels that we challenge any house in the State to excel in quality and price. Our stock of long cloths, cam brics, muslins, and other white goods have been placed among the goods that we call "drives." Shoes made from the very best ma terial and bought by special contract from the most reliable manufacturers are in stock in abundance and will be sold at bargains. In this stock we feel warranted in saying tiat we can furnish any lady, gentleman, or child a good article for less money than they can purchase elsewhere. Our clothing and hats and gents' furnishing departments are open for the scrutiny of the most critical, and we invite an inspection of these de partmenits, because we feel satisfied that our purchases have been made with such care as to place us in a position to compete with any opposi tion. We 'realize the fact that since the organization of the Farmers' Alliance a.great many farmers have made their arrangements so as to be independent of any particular merchant, because they have the cash to buy with and of course will purchase where the best advanttges are offered them. Last yeaIr we supplied a great many sub-alliances, and we expect to supply more this year, as it has become known that one of our business-principles is to not allow any business house doing an honest, legitimate business to un dersell us. Yours respectfully, LEVI BROTHERS. No Seeds on Hand (Keu-s and C'ouriZer Jan. 13.] The Clemson College trustees are receiving numerous requests from farmers and gardners for the seeds which have formerly been sent by Senator Hampton to the department of agriculture for distribution. Mr. Withers, the clerk in charge for the trustees, said to-day that these con sign ments of seeds usually arrived in Decemb er, but have not put in an ap pearance yet. President Simpson, of the trustees, has therefore been con strained to issue the following circular note: Corx~xna, Jan. 11, 1891. Dear Sir:-Your request for garden seeds has been received. I regret that I am una ble to accommodate you. We have no seeds for distribution. Yours truly, R. W. SIMPsoN, President Trustees C. A. C. Takes 1000 people to ouy Dr. Sage's catarrh remedy. at 50 cents a bottle, to make up $500. One failure to cure would take the profit from 4000 sales. It makers profess to cure "cola in the head,"and even chronic catarrh, and if they fail they pay $500 for their over confidence. Not in newspaper words but in hard cashJ Think of what confidence it takes to put that in the papers-and mean it. Its makers believe in the remedy. Isn't it worth a trial? Isn't any trial preferable to catarrh ? After all, the mild agencies are the' best. Perhaps they work more slowly, but they work surely. Dr. Pierce's pleasant pellets are an active agency, but quiet and mild. Thev're sugar-coated, easy to take, never shock nor derange the system, and balf their power is the mild way in which their work is done. Smallest, cheapest, easiest to take. One a dose.

The groom, it will be remembered, killed Mr. Boyet, some time ago, and was tried and ac quitted. It was hinted then, that Mr. Bozard's engagement to the daughter of the deceased, caused, or had much to do in bringing about the difficulty, as the latter was much opposed to the match. The death of Mr. Boyet under these most distressing circumstances, broke up the engagement, but the "dead past has buried its dead," and the young man was last week married to the daughter of the man he had -It is fair to add that the entire evi dence showed that the killing was unavoidable on the part of Mr. Bo zard.Brt .THE PULPIT AND THE STAGE.

X white man by the name of Kennedy was killed by Jim Days, a negro, in the Cedar creek section last week. Our information is that they were in the woods together when a dispute arose between them as to whether the white man's horse was sick or not. Hot words were used by both parties, the result of which was that the negro struck Kennedy on the head with his ax and knocked him down, and repeated the blow on his head after he was down. He died in a short time. The negro made his escape. IF YOUR HOUSE IS ON FIRE You put water on the burning timbers, not on the smoko. And if you have catarrh you should attack the disease in the blood, not in your nose. Remove the impure cause, and the local effect subsides. To do this, take Hood's sarsaparilla, the great blood pu rifier, which radically and permanently cures eatarrh. It also strengthens the nerves. Be sure to get only Hood's sarsaparilla.

ASTONISHING CURES! One Fact Is Worth a Thousand Argu. ments-Sclence Prevalls-What Royal Germetuer has Done. The remarkable cures with "Royal Germ etuer" are astonishing the world. Rev. T. C. Boykin's daughter, of Atlanta, was cured of a protracted case of fever by the use of Royal Germetuer. Mrs. J. B. Hawthorne, of Atlanta, Ga., was cured of a long-staading case of debil ity, etc. A daughter of Mr. C. Jordan, of Atlanta, was cured of a serious case of stomach and bowel troubles. Mr. N. T. Johnson, of Atlanta, was cured of a long continued and severe case of catarrh that was sapping his life away. Mr. A. V. Jackson, of Sandersville, Ga., after trying various physicians for 15 years, was cured of a violent case of rheumatism. Mrs. M. Farmer, West End, Atlanta, was completely cured of a ten years' case of in flammatory rheumatism after all else had failed. Rev. A. B. Vaughn, Canton, Ga., was cured of facial neuralgia, also a liver and kidney trouble of many years' standing. Rev. M1. H. Wells, of Louisville, Ky.has a daughter who was cured of neuralgia and rheumatism after all known medical and climatic remedies had been used. Mr. T. V. Meddor, of Babb's Bridge, La., was cured of liver complaint and kidney disease of five years standing. Mrs. Irenia Free, of Soque, Ga., was cured of chronic bronchitis of 30 years standing and hemorrhage of the lungs. Her recovery was despaired of, but Germetuer cured her. Dr. 0. P. Stark, of Alexandria, La., was cured of asthma, which he has had from his birth. Strange, but true, "Germetuer" cured him in one week. Mrs. L. A. Sherman, Atlanta, Ga., was cured of pains in the back and hip, and says: "Germetuer dons more for me than $100 of other medicines." These are only a few extracts from hun dreds of certificates in the posession of the proprietors of "Royal Germetuer," and ev ery mail brings others, voluntarily given, for the benefit of suffering humanity. If you are sick and have despaired of recovery, hope on-"Germetuer" will cure you. It is as pleasant to take as lemonade without sugar; it is a scientific discovery, and cures disease by removing the cause. It builds up from the first dose. Price reduced from $2.50 to $1.50 per concentrated bottle, which will make, as per accompanying directions, one gallon of medicine. Send stamp for full particulars. For sale by King's Royal Germetuer Co., 14 N. Broad St., Atlanta, Ga.; at Manning, by J. G. Dinkins & Co.; and at Foreston by Dr. L. W. Nettles.
