MAR 1NNING T1IMS. M mOn T13. S. A. NETTLES. Editor. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 7, 1891. The Pistol License. One of the recent acts of the legislature! forbids persons dealing in pistols and cart-! ridges without paying a license for same. The acts have not been published as yet, hence we do not know what the license isor who is authorized to issue same. The ob ject of the law is evidently to stop the pro miscuous selling of these dangerous weap cns, and in a manner to prevent them from getting into the hands of irresponsible per sons. If the law is strictly enforced pistols will not be easily purchased, and there will be a less number of shooting scrapes throughout the country. Heretofore every store keeper sold pistols and cartridges to any and every person that desired to purchase, and consequently a certain class did not consider themselves properly dressed without a pistol in one pocket and a box of cartridges in another. 'The law if properly enforced will do good, and the people should see to it that it is enforced. Since the above was in type we see that the State license for selling pistols and cart ridges is $200 a year, and the law goes into effect June 23, 1691. The penalty for vio lating this law is a fine not exceeding $500, or imprisonment one year, or both. No Change in the Poll Tax. - An impression seems to prevail mong some people that the poll tax hereafter will be three dollars instead of one dollar as now. This impression was created by a suggestion made by Governor Tillman while discussing the free school system in his in augural address. He said that the respec tive counties should be divided into school districts as nearly square as possible, with one white and one colored school in each district, so that all the public school funds could be concentrated to run these two schools, and that the trustees be elected by the residents of the districts, only free hold ers to be eligible to that office; also that the poll tax should be three dollars instead of one as now. But, said he, this will require a oonstitutional amendment. It will therefore be seen that all this talk about the present administration making poor people pay a larger poll tax is all clap trap, being talked by those who are antago aistic to every step taken by the present of fieers in power. There is only one way for the poll tax to be increased, and that is by a vote of the people themselves. If the people think that Governor Tillman's suggestion is a good one and will be a benefit to the free school system, they will vote to amend the consti tution making the poll tax three dollars in stead of one dollar; if they do not agree with him they will vote against it, and it will remain as it is. Neither Governor Till man nor the legislature can raise the poll tax. That is left entirely in the hands of the people, and when the opportunity offers they will say by their votes whether they prefer the constitution changed or not. Devilment in Columbia. The Rev. Mr. Tolson, of Columbia, has stirred the city of Columbia from center to circumference. He preached a sermoa last Sunday night, in which he made serious charges against the Columbia Club, the Young Men's Christian Association, and the city government. The sermon has created considerable comment among all classes, andan investigating committee was appoint ed to look into the charges made. Rev. Tolson asserts that the city government, the Columbia Club, and the Y. M. C. A. are in lea with Satan. mayor M'Master is on the war path, and denounces the attack made on these insti tutions, especially the Columbia Club. He says: "His attack on the club is inline with the abusive, ignorant, and malicious impu-1 ~'tations against a clever set of gentlemen, -citizens of Columbia, who have united them selves for social purposes and whose infn 'i ence has not been, in the main, deletr'n - li~im~le o~jros ec oCo lumbia. It has afforded on many occasions -innocent entertainment to distinguished visitors to Columbia. For the last two or three years it has been the custom of some of the people of the State to abuse this club and to attribute to it an evil influence, which is unjust and outrageous. Every civilized city has similar institutions, and their pur poses are intended for innocent enjoyment ~', and reaxaton and fellowship. In the main ~i' they are good. While probably some few may get the love of liquor from attendance Sat the club, not as many suffer from it as would suffer if the club'was not in exist ce, for the barrooms would be the sole souree of supply." B-- ev. Dr. J.L. Girardeau says: "I admire ~kVthe Rev. Mr. Tolson's faithfulness and cour ~ gin bearing public testimony against eh- at he regards as sinful and injurious practices exsting in this city. But, aslIamu in great measure ignorant concerning the particular facts which he alleges, and an in vestigation of his charges is to be made, I must for the present decline to utter any definite judgment in the premises." Manning has Fine Facilities. -- There is a complaint often made by the people living in this town, that everything appear's to be going backwards, that no im provements are going on, and no interest seems to be taken for the advancement of the town. Those making these complaints will ask the question, why cannot Manning build up like other towns, and why is it that people from elsewhere do not move to Manning? They will then go over a list of different places in the State, and tell you all about the rapid strides such towns are mak Maning has every advantage to make a large town. It has a healthy climate, good water, schools; churches, good society, hos pitable and kind people, and as fine a coin try surrounding it as you will find anywhere in the State, but what it lacks is for the people of the town to reach out their hands and invite those from abroad to come here. Everywhere you look you see empty build ing lots. These places should be built up, so that when a man does want to come to the tswn he can find a house to do business in, and a dwelling to place his family. The great mistake property owvners are mpaking is in imagining that under their property lies a gold mine, or that Captain Kidd's treasure was hidden there, and that some day the property will make them as rich as Grcesus. Some people, judging from. the prices they ask for lots, must certainly have an idea that the day is not far distant when real estate1 in the town of Manning will exceed in valuation the real estate of such places as New York and Chicago. They say their lot is worth, say five hun dred dollars, and will plant it in rutabaga turnips before they will take less. They will not build a house on it, because that would be improving the town, and some one el-se as well as themselves might be bene fitted by it. By planting their lot in ruta baga turnips they get feed for themselves and stock, but by builing a house they would be forced to take some of the rent money they would recieve and buy the tur nips. It is such people that keep the town from growing. They will not prosper them Sselves and they do not want others to pros per. This condition will exist antil there is a change in the ownership of the prop erty, and then perhaps it will get int tt~e bands of those that know the w-ay to im prove a town and are not afraid to do it, In other towns through the building and loan associations the young mgn and even young ladies have acqnired property and built houses as an investment. Here we have a building and loan association that is prepared to loan money on easy terms, but the young nmen cannot get the lots to build on, and the town is checked in its growth: .whereas if the property owners would sell ~their pryat such rates that a man a size igures, more property would be in demand, more houses wo'd be built, more workmen would get employment, more people would move into the town, more goods would be sold, more business would be transaeted, and the growing influence would be felt to such an extent that the people would be restless until manufacturing industries were *started and the town get on a genuine, sub stantial boom. The Republican force bill together with its iniquitous intentions wa~s laid aside last Monday, and it is now believed to .be in a CAROLINA WEST-EAST RAILWAY. Cwo Strings to One%. Bow Better Than One. EDrron 3MkNrsc TIMES:-A country store. udiciously located and carrying a -well as -orted stock of general merchandise, is a :re-t convenience to a community reimote rom taffic lines and larger marts: and it asually makes "big money" for the propri ,tor. Two such stores in a prospierou.t neigh borhood are better than ore for both pro prietors and custoners: for the lower prices secured by competion will lead to larger ales, and so to greater ultimate profits to :be dealers. 41 with country stores, so with railroads. I single railroad is a great convenience: but the proprietor of a single railroad, like that if the only neighborhood store, is prompted by self-interest to put on "Al the tarif' the traflic will bear." Two railroads, however, lke two country stores, will comtpete for the "traffic," and, lowering the "tariff," will in crease the "traffic" to such an extent that each of the two will do a far-more profitable business than the single one formerly did at least in the long run. Mannin, with her one railroad, is some what in the condition of the country neigh borhood with a single store. Such a neigh borhood is largely at the mercy of her one merchant. But Manning is not only large ly, she is completely, at the mercy of her one railroad-subject to all the possible whims, caprices, extortions and opPressions of the proprietor; and if her citizens do not suffer, it must be solely because of the pres ent forbearance of the said proprietor-a forbearance which should not be expected to last forever. Such being the situation, what ought the Manningites and the whole country to do? for all Clarendon is interested in the matter. There is but one answer to the question: "Go to work to get another railroad." Where should that road be located? A careful'study of the map of South Car olina will show that her main east-and-west line of railroad has vet to be built, and that when built it must p~ass through Manning The longest west-and-east line that can be drawn in the State is from about Bordeaux, Abbeville county, near the Savannah River, to the southeast corner of the State, near Little River Inlet. But that line is desira ble neither in termini nor in location. To the eye of an engineer, the true west-and east railroad line of South Carolina should begin at Augusta, Ga., on the Savannah; thence to Manning, 105 miles; thence to Kingstree, 23 miles; thence to Conway, 52 miles; thence to Shallotte, N. C., 40 miles: thence to Wilmington, 32 miles-a total of 252 miles, of which about 4G will be in North Carolina. The located line will, of course, have to vary a little-sometimes to the north, sometimes to the south, according to obstacles-from the air lines indicated; but the length of the entire road when con structed will not much exceed, if any, 252 miles, according to the State map issued 1888 by the agricultural department of South Carolina. The construction of this road will throw Manning on a great through route, and will give her all the advantages of such a line. It will open a new country, make accessible new fields of timber, and develop much ter ritory now almost inaccessible. Next week, attention will be called to a north-and-south line. JoHN M. RicainDsos. Manning, S. C., Jan. 5, 1891. Ic is said that a new paper will be started in Columbia some time soon, with A. B. Williams, of the Greenville Netes, and N. G. Gonzales, formerly ot the Ytecs and Cm>rier, as its editors. The paper is to be strictly an anti-administration sheet, and of course will be opposed to any and everything done by the present regime whether good, bad, or indifferent. The city council of Columbia has noti fied the Columbia club that it will be re quired to take out a liquor license or give up the sale of liquors. The Columbia clu: is a private social organization, where its members and their friends meet for alleged social pleasures, and heretofore wines andl other social draughts were disposed of, much to the injury of liquor dealers that were paying the city license. Capt. W. J. Talbert on assuming charge of the_ State penitentiary was informed by Co - b af-o superintendast attbe book&-eieper was shorton the books about $1,800, but that it had been made good. Superintendent Talbert therefore informed the Attorney General of the mat ter, who advised him to have the books locked up until the meeting of the board of directors, so that they could be overhauled, and to begin his accounts of the i-istitution with new books.

Timmons, postmaster of Idaville, ad., writes; "Electric Bitters has dcne more for me than all other medicines com bined, for that bad feeling arising from kid ney and liver trouble."

MRS. s. .A. NEMns. Moca Cmmt Coco.Nuw Pir.-Scald three cups of milk, beat tiree e*gS (reserving the wilit.s of two, if wish ed), with two heaping teaspotnfuls of corn starch stirred smooth iii a little milk; cook this raixture in ti boiling milk, remove from the lire, cool, and sweeten and flavor to taste. Add half a cup of cocoanut which has been soaked in milk for an hour. and stir thoroughly. Line pie-plates with good paste, bake until nearly done, pour in the custard, bake to a nice light brown, spread the top .,ith soft frosting, place in the oven to brown lightly, and let it cool before serving. This is nice without the cocoanut. PImALILE PIE.-One can of pine apple, one cup of sugar, one teaspoon fil of ground allspice. and thiree beat en eggs. Chop the pineapple, mix the ingredients well, put all in a pie tin lined with nice crust, and drop several small lumps of butter over the top before putting on the top crust. Any one who is fond of pineapple will find this excellent. TL, C.tK.---One cup of sugar, one fourth cup of butter, one egg, one third cup milk or water, one cup of flour, one teaspoonful of baking pow der, and flavor to suit. Bake in small cakes or a loaf; eat warm. A pretty and novel pincushion is made in a small bolster form of gray canvass over stout unbleacbed muslin stuffed with sand. A piece of canvas, tive inches wide, is then worked with a conventional oriental design in gobelin or tapestry stitch in soft wools in low tones of color or in full rich tones, if preferred; this is sewed round the cushion in the middle, then two bags of silk, or satin, or velvet are drawn, one on each end of the form up to meet the embroidery. A draw-string shirrs the bag up prettily, is then tied and'a handsome bow of ribbon sewed over it. The draw strings are set an inch from the edge of the bag to leave a frill. This is finished off with lace. A silk cord is sewed to each end of the bag so as to leave ends and tassels and a loop to hang it up by. Always mix your stove blacking with turpentine; yel will find that but little rubbing is required to make it look black and glossy Tie turren tine helps remove the rust, if any, and the blacking stars on much longer. One can make a very useful and pleasing wall ornament by buying an ordinary thermometer mounted on tin or wood, which will not cwt more than a quarter of a dollar. Get a plain one-inch thick pine board 7 by 20 inches in size, paint the back and edges a soft dark red, then cover the front and sides with rich old-red plush. Fasten the thermometer to this plush-covered panel by means of four small fancy-headed brass nails, first piercing the holes to receive them. Screw in the top of the panel a brass screw-eye to hang it up by. Next procure a variety of fancy headed bra-ss tacks of different sizes as regards the head, then drive them in enfefully with a small hamnmer, fol Kw6~ing out somne pre-arrangetd design, which should be dotted on the plush with a little white paint, in order to easier follcw it out. Lastly, gild any black tin portions of the thiermome ter, and then it will be finished. There come star-headed nails, fleur-de-lis, daisy, square, diamond and round headed, in different sizes, admitting of erry pleasing effects.
