THE MANNING TIMES< S. A. NETTLES, Editor. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 21,1891. Senator William H. Ready, c Edgefield, died at his home last Fri day. The board of phosphate commis sioners met in Columbia Monday an elected Mr. A. W. Jones, of Abbeville inspector of phosphates. Col. J. H. Wharton was electe< clerk of the court of Laurens countN made vacant by the election of Capt G. W. Shell to congress. The necessary documents have bee2 prepared and will be forwarded t Washington for the formal acceptanc of the Federal appropriation for thi Clemson agricultural college. David B. Hill, now governor o New York, has been eleoted Unite< States senator, It is not all improba ble that he will be elected presiden of the United States in '92. Don't judge a man by the clothe he wears. God made one, and th< tailor made the other. Don't judg< a man by his family, for Cain belong ed to a good family. Don't judge i man by his failure in life, for many i man fails because he is too honest t succeed. We have written and talked si much about a railroad from this plac to some point on the C. S. & N. R. R with so little effect, that we have n< heart to further pusue the subject But Maj. Richardson is writing oi this subject, and we sincerely hopi his words will have greater effect. I possible let's have the East-Wes railroad. The representatives of Greenvill, county held a meeting last Saturday to consider the recommendation o persons to Governor Tillman for ap pointment as trial justices. The; unanimously decided to let the peo pie choose their trial justices by i primary election, and the candidati getting the highest vote will be rec ommended by the delegation. The New York correspondent a the Baltimore Sun writes that Mrs Davis, the widow of the Ex-Presiden of the Confederacy, since she came t< New York, about a month ago, ha: been living very quietly at the Nev York Hotel. As she is not over strong she had to decline the man, social courtesies offered her and see only a few intimate friends. All he: time has been devoted to superintend ing the memoir of her husband which will be published about th< first week in February. It will be ii two volumes, the first containing about 750 pages and the other abou 1,000, altogether about 300,000 words Mrs. Davis does not intend to retur to the old place at Beauvoir, nor t< iaise anything on that farm next sum mer. She will go to Colorado Springs w~here her eldest daughter lives, an< spend the summer there. Cotton Advancing. A great many farmers in the coun ty after disposing of enough cotton t< meet the demands against them, con eluded to hold for better prices. Th< market, however, dropped, and con tinned dropping until some becam< price would go still Doi having the nerve to hold longer while the price was down to the vera -bottom, but those that held right on can now feel encouraged as the mar ket is brightening up. 'Cotton is in demand again, and buy era are searching around for invest ments. When this is the case, the price usually goes up,because the greater the demand the greater the competition From all parts of this county we learn that farmers are holding cotton, ani it has been estimated that there arn *about three thousand bales lying ir the farm yards unsold. When th< market gets so that a farmer can sel his cotton at a living price, the cottor will be placed on the market, and the proceeds will go towards buying sup plies for the present year, thereb; turning loose a good sum of mone' with our merchants and making busi ness better in every way, but as long as these people are forced to keei their cotton in their yards it amount< to the same as if thie money wer< (oeked up inan iron safe. The pro Queer of the cotton cannot use it, no: ~ gy one else. The excuse for hold ing will we hope soon be a thing a the past, as the manufacturers wan the cotton, and the farmers want th< goney. We hope both will soon ge what they want. The Poultry Show. We spent last week in Charleston on buE jness and pleasure combined, and to sa; that we enjoyed being away for a few day from the cares of a bustling office like th Toms is putting it mildly. Of course 'w took in the poultry and pet show. Tb 110,000 dog was a red irish setter, mediui in size, and, to the novice, ordinary in ap pesrance. We saw several huge St. Bei nards, weighing more than two hundrei pounds, that we would have much preferrei having. There were all kinds of dogs from the little poodle that looked like: small bundle of hair, to the huge mastij . whose bark sounded deep and loud. Ther was a wild cat on exhibition that attracted considerable attention. Then there wer squirrels, and rabbits, and doves, and pig eons of a hundred kinds, and all kinds o ducks, and geese and turkeys, and guineas and chickens. We were surprised at th large size attained by certain kinds of chich ens, ducks, geese, and turkeys. Why ne raise these large fowls in this county.] san be done, and it looks to us as if ther would be money in it. On East Bay we found everything busy The~ merchants and factors are prepared fc a big business this season. There is, ho~ ever, a get scarcity of cotton seed meal The artie ths year is very infenior, and since "U~ncle Ben" said he is going to be s strict, and if the guano did not come up t the guarantee he would put somebod; in the penitentiary, there is little inclina nation to handle cotton seed meal this year Our farmers will have trouble in getting i1 so they had better select some other guani to take its ace. Our friend, Moses Levi, was a conspicu our, figure on East Bay, and his trade wa eagerly sought for by the various wholesal houses. He bought three hundred tons fo cash, and thereby secured such low rate that he willbe able to sell here just as cheal as in Charleston, and still make a sma: profit for himself. A man with the capitL of Moses Levi has a great advantage. H ~gets the companies to give him their lowes cash competing prices, and then buv where he can do best. He bought onl standard goods. We were surprised at the number of pec pie we met from Clarendon. and everybod; seemed to be flush with money. There wer at least three hundred Clarendon people iu T --4harleston last week. Cotton has we think touched bottom, ani the price will now gradually increase There is a demand for the better grades. [Columbia Record.] GEN. BONHAM'S SHORTAGE Over Five Thousand Dollars-Report of Expert Syimers. The examination of Gen. Bonham's books has been completed. Expert George Sym mers, who was engaged sevend days ago to go over the books and accounts in the Ad jutant General's office, has worked indus f triously upon them and last night completed his work and submitted his report to the governor. After detailing various financial matters, he concludes with the following summary, showing the deficit to amount to $5,528. The following figures are taken therefrom: Amount appropriated 1889...... $14,000.00 Checks issued during November and December, 1890, to military companies and paid the Caroli na National Bank, as per re ceipts on file in the office...... 8,472.00 Balance to be accounted for ...... $ 5,528.00 The $5.528 shortage is itemized as follows: Check not yet issued but due the National Guard............... V2,724.00 Checks issued and not yet present ed for payment............... 948.00 Checks issued but protested...... 1,400.00 Balance that should be in bank, but is unaccounted for...... 456.00 t Total....................... $5,528.00 From this statement it is seen that Gen. Bonham's deficit is double the amount it was a expected to reach. 3 Gen. Bonham's Explanation. The News and Courier of the 17th inst. t publishes the following statement from Gen. M. IL Bonham: To his Excellency B. R. Tillman, Gov ernor of South Carolina-Sir: Through the kindness of Gen. Farley I have been shown a copy of a letter addressed by him to you upon the subject of the disbursement by me of the fundl in aid of the militia for the year 1890. It it is the purpose of your Ex cellency to make the same public, I beg that you permit the publication of this statement along with it. 3 It has been the custom in the Adjutant f General's office to draw this fund from the treasury and deposit it in bank and issue checks against it, which custom was fol lowed in this instance. Frequently, as you 3 may perhaps know, these checks are held back by the ccmpanies to whom they are sent for months, but when presented are paid by the Adjutant and Inspector General. - Under the stress of circumstances of a na ture both painful and delicate, and which, . therefore, I beg not to refer to here, I had overdrawn my account at the bank, but had made arrangements to meet these checks as 3 they were presented; but during my ab - sence a number of them unexpectedly came in and were protested for non-payment. As Gen. Farley states in his communication to you i went with him to the bank and there made arrangements to recall these checks and to pay them upon their return. This is a frank statement of the case, adi is not made by way of confee-n end avoid 3 ance, but that if it is your purpose to make, r public these matters I desired that this statement should appear also. I know full well that I must bear the consequences of my act at the hands of the public, but I de g sire to meet every one of these outstanding r obligations, and to that end I trust my ef forts will not be embarrassed by any pres ent publication of these matters. I am, sir, respectfully yours, 3 M. L. Boyn.ur. Best Houses to Deal With. t We call attention to the advertisement of Messrs. Wohlers & Lesemann, which ap pears in this issue.

NDDIRT AND Co1wAEL, smol in the winter and flies ia the sumin make the housekeeper's life busy, bt not a too happy one. For drudger is tiresome; so tiresome that I am a ways on the watch for something t lighten it, or sweeten it, or make m forget how disagreeable it is. I woi der if every one knows the beaut and usefulness of sal-soda. A dish . it ought to stand on every kitche work-table, for it will dissolve dirt an grease, and sweeten and brighten u things in an easy, satisfactory wa; Some writers say that soap shoul never be used in washing dishes, bt we like plenty of good soapsuds ft our dishes, with plenty of hot wat( to rinse them in. And dishwashin time is one of the times we need an use sal-soda. If some of the old tins get a litt rusty, we scour them up with sal-sod; On baking days we wash the bakint tins, and then put a little of the soc in each one, and rub thoroughly in t1 corners and cracks, on the sides an bottom, then wash again, rinse, an wipe dry. That way they are swe< and clean, with no old grease left i to flavor the next baking. A litt] lump of soda in the spiders, kettle and pancake griddles will make thos homely articles pure and clean. Clea the kitchen work-table or sink with i put some in the mop water, and clea windows and woodwork with it. the milk strainer gets clogged up, w( and rub thick with sal soda, let stan a few minutes, then wash. If n< perfectly clean, repeat the dose. It the quickest and nicest way to clean strainer. And if you want to clea the inside of a lamp, fill it full < strong soapsuds and put in a lump < the soda as big as a small marble; 1 soak awhile, then wash in anothc suds with a little sal-soda added, the lamp is a bit greasy. My sma girl says that when she gEts big, an keeps house, she is always goir-g t ase sal-soda. Five cents wort will last quite awhile, and will sav more than five cents worth of tim d labor. One day when I w_-lke into a neighbor's, I saw a big disl pan full of dirtyktietehup bottles wail ing to be washed, for the time to li hem was near at hand, and so thE job of bottle cleaning must be adde a the rest of the housework. I di aot wonder that the gid looked sou: or they had laid in that dirty dried-u tate so long that they would nee plenty of time, patience, and sand fc the cleaning. Now that style of wor is unnecessary, even in a busy house old, for the best and easiest way j to clean each bottle or fruit-can v soon as emptied. Put the bottle c 3an on the dish-table, and when yo wash the dishes, wash that, dry it an put away, and it is all ready for ne: year, and will save time and tempe when the hot canning days stretc :ut long in the land. Often a clea bottle is wanted in a great hurry, an i you have one all ready, it will say the expense of buying one, and penny saved is a penny earned."
