His inves tigations will begin about the first of Feb ruary, and in the meantime the books will be locked up in accordance with instructions from the Attorney General. M.. Kalisky has perfected arrangements by which he can pay the highest prices for all kinds of hides, skins, and furs. The town council has made Mrs. L. 31. Barfield an offer for a street fifty feet wide running through her land to the depot. The offer has been accepted, and the council will soon put a gang of hands to work open. ing up the street. This street will be very convenient for a large number of persons living across Ox Swamp, and at the same time it will open up a large number of de sirable building lots, and thus improve the town to a considerable extent. Our citizens are beginning to realize the necessity of improving the town, a-id we believe that the day is not tar distant when the sound of the hammer will be heard in every portion of the town. Go and examine B. A. Johnson's stock of groceries. You will be pleased with the bargains offered. In our issue before the last, in speaking of the exorbitant prices asked by some oft the roperty owners in this place for their property, we stated that they imagined that Capt. Kidd had his treasure buried on their premises, and that some day they would unearth this valuable find and be come millionaires. Testerday morning as we were walking to the post ofhece we ob served three gentlemen industriously at work, taking it turn about, digging up the earth on a lot owned by one of the trio. We supposed that they were after the bur ied wealth, and watched the proceeding torrsonme time before we actually found out what they were digging for, and at last we learned that the owner of the lot had received information that his neighbor had sold his lot, and remembering that a short tiiine ago he had lost a small piece of iron, h . thought that his time had come to recov e his poperty lest the newv owner of the j oining lot would be getting more prOp y than he bought. Mrs. L. M. Brfiela is having some ten ant houses built on Church street. If you like buckwheat cakes for breakfast, go to John tn's store for fresh buckwhe at. Mr. J. ii.

A little daughter of Dr. B. M. Badger, of Summerton, was seriously burned yesterday while playing with matches. Mrs. Badger, in attempting to save her child from the fire, was also severely burned. Kalisky has just received a fresh lot of cakes and crackers of all kinds. As was announced in the Manning Times last week the auction sale of horses and mules by McCafferty took place to-day. A large crowd of people were in town to at tend this sale, and the bidding was quite lively from the start. Mr. McCafferty sold out completely, as he usually does. The stock was good and brought fair prices, some bringing as high as one hundred dol lars. Fresh and genuine garden seeds at Din kins & Co.'s drug store. Jimmie Barfield, a son of Mr. J. J. Bar field, was thrown out of a wagon yesterday while crossing the Wilson & Summerton Railroad on his way to Manning. The wheels of the wagon struck the railroad track with such foice that the yonng man lost his balance and he was thrown to the ground. The wagon passed over one of his legs causing him a very painful injury, and it is thought that one of the bones in his right leg is broken. Just received at Johnson's a fine assort ment of ladies, gents, and children's shoes. Last Sunday morning on the plantation of Mr. J. D. Childers, near Hodge's Corner. Daniel Harvin and Levi Ford, both colored, became involved in a difficulty. Harvin drew a pistol on Ford, but was too slow in its use, as Ford snatched it away from him. Harvin broke and ran to a neighbor's house, and there showed two wounds on his head, one resembling a pistol shot wound, and the other looked as if it were done with some other weapon. Ford denies d.oing any shooting. We have two sewing machines on hand, new and just received from the factory, that we wish to sell. They are improved and are bargains. Call at the Times office. Mr. James Frierson, near Foreston, met with a very serious accident while on his way home from Manning last Monday. The horse that he was riding became unmanage abe, and ran against a stump in the side of the road, striking Mr. Frierson's leg below the knee and shattering the bone for about six inches in length. Although suffering terrible agony he held his seat in the sad dIle and rode to the house of his uncle some distance away, where he was assisted from the horse and carried into the house. He remained there until yesterday when he was removed to his own home. If you suffer from catarrh why don't you take Hood's sarsaparilla, the common sense remedy ? It has cured many people. Hop at Panola. A very pleasant social event occurr'ed last Thursday evening, the 15th inst., at the Panola Academy. A german given by Messrs. R. C. Richardson, Jr., and S. A. Harvin, of Panola, was commenced at 9 '. . and continued until 4 A. Mt. Many persons were present and e'verybody spent a very delightful evening. The german was gracefully lead by Mr. R. C. Richard son, Jr., of Panola, who introduced many r'ew and pretty figures, and Miss Hattie Hitchcock, of Charleston. nI. A Clarendon Inventor. Col. R. 11. Hudgins, of Foreston, was in town to-day with a rough model of a car brake that has just been patented by his son, Mr. Geo. E. Hudgins. Mr. 11. M. Dean, of this place, has been .engaged to make for exhibition a model of the inven It apparently is one of the simplest and most valuable inventions of the time, being simple in construction and automatic in action. As soon as a train slows up, the brakes are immediately and automatically applied and the train .stopped. Starting the train takes off the breaks. In case of shifting, the brakes may be, thrown oft in stantly, and when the train is made up they may as easily be put on again. Everything is simple, with no springs or complicated mchiery to get out of order, and the at tachment may at a small cost be applied to the brakes already in use on the cars. It covers practically the same field as the present air brakes, except it is far simpler in construction and the cost of mianufactur ing will be comparatively' very small. In case a train in motion should be broken the brakes on the detached part would be put on at once, and that part of the train stop ped. Of course with this invention there will be no need of brakemen. There ought to be a bonanzajfor the in ventor in this invention. A Gallant Ride'r. Mr. Meyer Behal, one of Philadelphia's cavaliers,'while out horseback riding last Monday, looking at the beautiful scenery around Manning. was so carried away with the grandeur that presented itself that he forgot the hours were fleeting. When he noted that it was growing late he also dis overed that he was taking in more scenery and grandeur than dinner. So he turned his steed homeward, and dashing forth like one of the ancient anights he rode onward neither looking to the right of him rior to the left of him. Just as he approached the mercantile portion of our beautiful town, still thinking of the beautiful sights he had left behind, his revdries were suddenly dis tnrbed by a slight change of position on the part of the noble steed, and then this gal lant rider assumed the role of M'Ginty, and down went he, dressed in his uncle 3Moses's lothes. Proudly he rose froni his change of base, and swearing vengeance on the horse he quietly and meekly took hold of the bridle and led the noble animal back into his sta ble, and as he turned his back on the horse's habitation he soliloquized thus: "I read in Shakespeare that some one offered a king dom for a horse, but if that is the kind of a horse that was wanted, then I say 'what fools we mortals be.'" A lady who was an eye witness to the gymnastic performance of our gallant friend from Quakertown was a little later in the store of a relative of the gentleman, doing some shopping. She walked up to another gentleman, mistaking him for the hero of tis episode, and asked him if he was not from the North. Being answered in the -- frmative she said: "I thought so from the little knowledge you displayed of horseback riding: my little four.year-old boy can beat ou riding and not half try." The gentle man with whom this conversation occurred assured the lady that she was the victim of a case of mistaken identity. An apology was rendered, and they p)arted perhaps never to meet again. While all this was going on our jovial friend from the "brotheily city" was enjoy ing the pleasure of brushing the dirt from ucle Moses's borrowed coat in the back lot, and muttering unto himself a lecture on the art of horsemanship. NooDLS FOR Sorr.-Rub into two eggs as much sifted flour as they will asorb, and roll out thin as a wafer, dust a little flour over it, and then roll it over and over into a roll, cut off thin slices from the edge of the roll, and shake them out into long strips.

EDITOR MANNING TIrEs:-Dear Sir:-Sei eral errors with regard to "lengths c stretches." or distances between consect tive "guiding points," found their way mt my last communication. The fault lay ii my figures. I shall not att:-mpt to corre< them in this article, nor is it really of mc ment to do so now; for, at this stage of th argument, an error of a fiw miles, more o less, is of comparatively little importance the object of the discussion being to call al tention to the advantage of the lines su gested. Our maps are only approximatel; correct; surveys must be relied upon to giv, distances with accuracy. Maps are goo< general, not minute, guides. But how can the proposed enterprise b< inaugurated, carried on, and pushed t completion ? An important question, this Some of the genuine old English "Fair: Tales" are really fables in disguise, an< contain a worl of practical wisdom lockei up in their morals. One of them represent its hero, the brain of the enterprise, as set ting forth accompanied by Silvertongue Strongback, and Goldberg, and other at tendants. Upon Silvertongue he relied foi 'lI the wind-work of every kind. He cou play upon an audience, lashing it into i rage, exalting it to the highest pitch of en thusiasm, or soothing it to rest. He coule conjure up a borean blast that would sweel the rivers dry or freeze them over, whistlh up a cyclone, or call the zepbyrs to hi, sighs. Silvertongue was his man of nego tiation, of persuasion, of business generally, so far as business was comfined to mind, word work. Strongback was the man 0: muscular labor; he could fell a forest, turE a river, level a mountain, fill up a valley, build over a sea. Goldberg was the inex. baustible purse, a veritable mountain ol gold, supplying his wants and desires ol every kind, so far as the means could b( found and were purchasable. Well, if tongue-work, muscle-work, and money-work were needed in "Fairy Land,' how much more among us poor mortals ol earth! Men have to be interested, excited, aroused to action, kept at it, encouraged, stimulated; they have to be persuaded, ne. otiated with, and held up to their contracts. Who so comnetent for this work as the daily and weekly press along the proposed routes? The press is really the Silvertongue of all the great and worthy public enter. prises of modern times. It interests people nd capital. calling together the Goldbergs and Strongbacks, and uniting them in bar. onious co-operation for the general bene fit of all concerned-of the whole country. Now, Mr. Editor, my work in this behald is about done; I statl probably soon returE to my cistant home towards the setting sun, never more, perhaps, to see my native State. Won't you take up the story, try to interesi the "press-gang" all along the routes, and to arouse the people to action for their owE good in the matter? Success wili require iteration and re-iteration, "line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little," patience, persistence, and unfaltering perseverance. These are tht special gifts of you gentlemen of the press, and what you cant accomplish, others may well abandon. Won't you lay your hands, your hearts, and your heads to the work' if so, it will be done; and your reward, il will be great. JoDN M. RIcHAnnDsoN. Manning, S. C., Jan. 19, 1891. Notes from Wilsons. EDITon MAcNrsoG TimE:-Those whc missed the entertainment of the UnioE :istrionic Club at Wilsons last Friday nighi indeed missed a treat. I wish I had the power to tell you about it as it was. Io spite of the very bad night there was v arge crowd present. The program wa! quite a long and interesting one, and w( believe one of the best that the club ha4 ever had. The entertainment.was opened with the song, "I will guide thee," and closed with the very appropriate song, "God be with you till we meet again." The fol lowing is the program: In Answer-Miss Hattie Nelson. The Art Critic-Mrs. C. E. Schiffley and liss Hattie Nelson. Mary Malony's Philosophy-Mi:>ses Jen. ae and Fannie Strange. The Old Year-MIiss Lizize Wilson. Think it no Excuse Boys-Master Marvir Strange. Deaf as a Post-Misses Jennie and Fan ie Strange, and WV. L. Burgess. The Last Hymn-Miss Lizzie Nelson. When did they go--Miss Martha Wilson People Will Talk-M1aster Emery Strange Josh Billings on Courtship-A. P. Bar gess. Mrs. Tattle and Mrs. Prattle-Misses Jen ie and Fannie Strange. The Train to Mauro-Miss Millie Nelson W. L. Burgess, and Charles Wilson. Then followed some beautiful tableaux. Mr. Editor, it is not in our power to d< the program, and especially the tableaux justice, so wve refrain, from comment. We ad several splendid duets by Mrs. C. E Schiffley and sister on the organ, also excel lent violin music by Mesers. Campbell ani Anderson, the noted musicians. These en tertainments are like some fellows are abou the girls: they think the last one they see i: the prettiest andl best. Just so with ou meetings, the last always seems the best Really, M;. Editor, you or some of you: staff ought to come down. If you can' come yourself, send your "devil." Just fron the way that name sounds he ought to hay< a mind full of imagination, an d if you wil induce him to come to some of our enter tainments we guarantee to send him back t< Manning full of news, and with a smile oI his cheek that will last him all the week. Well, another year is upon us, and the farmers have begun to busy themselves fo: another crop. The cry now is, "Who wil carry the head row?" We say, "Let ther< be no laggards." Don't you think, Mr. Ed itor, that Chrendon county is able to offer I mean to give a prize of say one hundret dollars each for the biggest acre of corn ane otton. We believe it would do good. I would do the fellow that got it good anyhow n our humble judgment what we needi more life and spirit, and more brain throwi into farming. A good motto for this yea would be, "Plant less, and make more pe re." B Items from Sandy Grove. S~Dv GaovE, Jan. 17.-News is as scare s hen's teeth down here. The farmers ar busy preparing for another crop. We San y Grove fellows are going to try to brm1 up our honey bee cotton to that of P. YT.' pig pen. Messrs. James E. Kennedy and Sam'i N ohnson are in Charleston this week. Some of the people don't seem to be ver: well pleased wvith the work of our legisla ture. We think if they had repealed the ien and homestead laws that the peopli would have been better pleased. Mr. S. F. Curry has been quite ill foi some time but is improving slowly. -Thi general health of the community is tolerabli good, with the exception of colds, which are prevalent. The Times is always a welcome visitor. SAM TATTLER. ( ews and Courier.] Points from Privateer., PRIvAEER, SUiME COUNTYv, January 16 -The Rev. Eugene E. Ayres, an ex-pasto: f Bethel church in this township, an< m~re recently the pastor of- a Bap tist church ih Hartf'ord, Connecticut will preach at Wedgefield and Summertor this year. 31r. Ayres's place of residene will Lee Sumter. He has to leave the North as the climate does not agree with hi: health. A landmark of the old Privateer votinj place has passed away. It was the Nettle: old store, which has been pulled down This store was quite a large plank buildini d was a familhar sight to travelers on th< Georgetown public road. Mr. Sumter Richardson had a pair of fine mules killed on Wednesday by a tree whicl was cut dow~n and fell on the mules. An obscrvant f,.rmer of the township say that it will be several years before anothe crop as good as last year's is produced again He says that a great deal of fertilizer wa used and the rains were suited to bring out to the fu'l extent, the strength of the fer tilizers. I have heard that some people conside a moonlight Christmas a sign of a poor crol year. It this be a true sign, then we canno expect funch from this years crop, as ias Christmas came off when there were moon light nights. A good crop year has one dark side-i seems to demoralize negro labor. Although last winter was more unseason able than this, there is more sick-ness thi winter than there was last. The negroes of this section have a dane hih the call the "bunzrd lope.". t Office of LEVI BROTHERS, Dealers in General Merchandise. SuMrER, S.

STAINEDCOTTON, And How to Whiten It-Something Worth Millions. Stained and blue cotton costs the farmers of the South many thousands of dollars annually. The difference in the price between the finer grades and stained cotton is great, although the-staple may be the same. Heretofore it has seemed an impos sibility to get stained cotton white without injuring it. This problem has at last been solved by Mr. J. J. Williams, a successful farmer who lives at Ellenton, S. 0., says the An gusta correspondent of the Atlanta Consitution. He takes his seed cotton and packs it in layers. Over each layer he sprinkles water with a pine top, and after he has done this he leaves it for almost three days. The stained and blue cotton when taken out is clean and white, with the staple just as good as ever. The cotton when packed in the manner above described generates heat. This heat removes the stains, and the farmer is saved the difference in price between the stained and the white cotton, besides gaining one pound in eight in ginning. The heat generated in the packiug kills the germ in the cotton seed, but when the ginning is done the seeds easily let go all the cotton. Though the seeds are dead the oil in them is not injured, and they are still salable to the oil mills. This shows what a wonderful gain this may be to the Southern farmer. He gains one pound in eight on his cotton. He has no blue and stained cotton to sell at a reduced price. He still has the seed left in a salable condi tion. Mr. Williams has tried this process himself and knows its value, and will -be glad to answer any inquiries ad. dressed to him. As the best evidence of its value it may be stated that this year he sold this entire crop as first class cotton. -Marion Index. tW. F. OSTENDORFF. 223 Meeting St., Charleston, S.

The Columbia Becord of the 16th inst stated that: "Gov. Tillman was to-day heard to say that it had been found that no itemized statements of the amounts expended out of the contingent fund of the Governor's office were on file, or even the vouchers for the same. He said that it would be seen from the Comptroller General's report that the statements were missing, and the Comptrouler General had no right to pay out the funds without such a statement. It is thought,. however, that the vouchers and statements may have been misplaced." The Columbia correspondent of the Sunday News says: "Mr. W. E. Gonzales, Ex-Governor Richardson's private secretary, called on Governor Tillinan this morning and the Governor stated to him that ae did not say that the vouchers for the disbursement of the contingent fund were not on file in the Govern or's office. He merely told the press representatives that they could see by a personal examination of the Comp troller General's report that the state ment did not appear there and left them to investigate. This last was said to the press representatives. To Mr Gonzales he said he had no fault to find in the management of the of aee of the retiring Governor. Inas much as the News and Courier repre sentative was the one who sent out the report, he frankly acknowledges that he misunderstood Governor Till man's statement, but must say that the impression made upon him was as stated yesterday." We're not waiting for the bats and moles but for men and women who have eyes and ase them, who have brains and reason! There's a new world for them-suffering and rickly as they are-a new world created rrom the brain of a skillful physician-a riscovery-the "Golden Medical Discovery." Years ago Dr. Pierce found out that the secret of all scrofula, bronchial, throat and Lung trouble lay-in the beginning at least -in impure blood and the weak tone of the system; that the way to cure these effects was to remove the cause, that human nature being the same, the same results might be looked for in nearly all cases. So confident was he that the exceptions were uncommon that he took the risk of giving the medicine to those it didn't benefit for nothing, and the results have proved that he was right. And "Golden Medical Discovery" is the remedy for the million ! The only guaran leed liver, blood, and lung remedy. Your money back if it doesn't help you. Negroes Cheated Oat of Their Labor.
