Comphiints are constntly being made to is about the maringement of the postoffice it Packs;ille. The patrons oif that oice say hat when they call lor their mail the party n charge invariably tells them there is othing in the otlice for them, when the fact s there is something. Especially is this the -ase with newspapers, and the Manning rimes appea's to be a favorite paper to be eld back by the postmaster. The Manning Times is sent out regularly ~very week, andi w-hen it fails to reach a sub criber the postmaster must be at fault, be ~ause our mailing lists are so airanged that t is almost a matter of impossi ility for a name to be over ooked, and all the papers for the diflfer mt postoffices are securely w'rapped and ied. so that no one can slip out a pauper vithout opening the package, and no one uas a right to open the package except the ropec' official at the office of its destina ion. We are told that the Packsville office s managed by some other person than the "glarly appointed posi~aster, wvho teaches tschool some three or more miles away. If his is true w'e do not wonder at thle coin flaints. The propec nothioities shoul see o it that the leg. lar app~oinitee be made to tend to his business in a competent and atisf'actoryv manne-r, or give up) the office. Summerton News. SrxM~nox, Jan. 27.--The farmers have ommenced work for another crop. I hear io comhlint for labor. While a great many >' the colored farmers are buying mules and iorses and arc going on their own hook, abor seems to be plentiful. The first quarterly conference for this cir uit convened at St. Pauls on last Friday. 'he Rev. E. T. Hodges, the new presiding der, presided. The little girl of Dr. B. ML Badger that as so seriously burned on last 31onday uorning, died on bu.t Friday evening. Rev. M1r. Ayres preached in the Baptist :hrch in this place on Sunday. Rte. E. T. Hodges preachied in the Meth dist church on Sunday night. M1r. J. P. Broek has been confined to his ect for the last tw.o weeks with hi grippe. Jr. Thomas Harvin has been seriously ill ith the same disease for severail days. The R1ev. W. W. MIood is visiting relatives~ ud friends in the village. .\ij. R. R. Brig.;s has employed a MIr. itts to conduct the caitivation of a tobacco arm. The ajor w'iil plant 15 acres in the illage. 3Messrs. Broek & Rutledge hav'e also tuployed a man to look after their tobacco arm. Don't know' how much they' will >ant but suppose it will be a good large arm. Something new for this section. C. Notes from the Fork. Oms~an, Jan. 2-.-Farm work is not pro ~ressing as satisfactorily as one would de ire. Labor is exceedinigly scarce, and but ew farmers have their full quota of plough en. M1any of the colored population have ither gone to the turpentine farms in Geor pia, or have supp~lied themselves with horses na mules, and will farm independently of he land-owner. There is but one hope for lie land-owner, and that is to cease renting inds, and vote solidly for the abolition of he lien law. Only a few fall oats vi-e sown. They look mhealthy. There will be the usual amount if spring oats sown. From the number of bales of cotton I see ild in yards, I judge the farmiers are bet er prepared for the year's labors than they rve been in a long time.

S mS.C., Jan. 27, 1891. Editor Manntig Times:--In ad. vance of everybody else we took timC by thc forelock and closed all of out guano contracts last fall. We did this because froin past experieice we have learned that if we waited until now the factories would have so many orders on hand that it would necessi tate our taking the chances of having to wait, and then when all the facto ries are shipping out their goods at the same time it often causes the rail roads to become blocked, and the de livery of the freight meets with more or less annoying delays. When a farmer is ready for his guano every delay costs him money, and he cannot afford to lose his own time and the time of his teans in running to and from the. railroad depots. It was to prevent this sort of thing that we made our contracts early, and we not only bought our guanos so that ve can sell them cheaper than any one else, but we also have the advantage in the gra:les. If your readers desire any guanos nowlis the time to come and see us. We are now hauling into our ware rooms a tremendous amount of meats, dour, molasses, sugar, coffee, and to bacco, and we defy any house in Sum ter or elsewhere to beat us in these goods. We purchase all of our meats in bulk, and it is never handled after it leaves the packers until it arrives in Sumter, therefore we save a big ex pense in that way, because meats are heavy and every time they are han dled and repacked it costs money and adds that much on the expenses, but with us all this is saved, as we only buv in car load lots. The saine with sugars and molasses: we buy direct from the refineries by the car load, thus saving considerable, and by making this saving it enables'us to sell the goods cheaper, and out customers are benefitted by it. (of fees are still high, but we can sell the prettiest grades of coffee at far less money thau any other house in Sum ter, and the saine can be said of our tobacco stock. It is immense, and our farmer friends can now get the advantage-of the rebate we received from the government. The imniensitv of our dry goods4 department can only be realized by a personal inspection. In homespuns we have any and everytihing that can be desired(. We have just. received 20,000 yards of brown goods .n which we propo3e to make such prices as to startle the retail trade of Sumter. We know that Sumter is on a boom, and we propose to keep it booming as far as its mercantile interests are con cerned. As long as our efforts to give the peoplo good, solid goods for less money than they can purchase them elsewhere are appreciated just so long will we feel encouraged to keep oii hammering the bottom out of high prices. We have worked hard for the mer cantile leadership of this city, and now that we have succeeded in gain ing the coveted prize we propose us ing every effort to retain the laurels of leadership. We have been visited by a number of alliance men from Clarendon coun ty, and have yet to find one whlo went away dissatisfied. We know what this trade means, because wve have handled it before, and we are so much pleased with it that we solicit their patronage and p~romlise to use every effort to furnish them with first class artic-les at the lowest possible prices. We are still continuing to offer tihe public special "drives" in the clothing, shoe, hat, fancy, and gents' furnishing goods lines, and challenge any house doing a legitimate mercantile b~usiness to undersell us. Yours respectfully, LEVI B3ROTHIERS. NIinnthiig Land Impro~lvemlenlt Company. In our issue week before last d~e suggest ed the idea of oriinfg a land implrove ment company in this townl. We. made the suggestion bceanse we believe that such anI institution would improv, the town, and at :he same time be a profitable. investiment. Since then we have- mentioned the matter :o several persons who w~e thought might sttart the ball in motion, but they do not ~eem to be satisfied that the p~roject would ay, Of course an investmen-t of an kind would be as flat as a pancake if tile invest >rs simply invest their money and do no anshi forward their investment, but if they aill invest and push like members of >ther land imuprovement companies a ;reat nmany pieces of property in thlis town vould soon change hands, and where emipty ots now are, beautiful residences would heI built and the town wake3 up from its ethargy. The Darlington land improve ment company at its last annual meeting ifew days ago dcclared a dividend of forty per cent., and the stock cannot be bought ror any price. Darlington, a few years ago, was no bet er off than 3Manning, but when~ her citizens .aw that they~ were standing in their own light by keeping their money locked up in racant lots, they went to work and pulled :ogether for the welfare of the town, and to lay it is one of the most thriving towns in the State. The same can be done with MIanning if! the citizens will only pall together for her welfare, but as long as some push forwvard ind others pull backwvard or remain passive lv inactive the town cannot thrive. To mke a town ev-erybiody must show a deter mination to help, and o:'ce the improve uents begin, the desire becomes contagious, mna everybody will improve. Now to begin with, hel p is needed, and by forming an as.sociation for the purchas ing, building, and selling of property, it would give the townl practinxd help, and atI the suae time advance the interests of the helpers. A land imp~rovemenmt companyl should be :rganized here. It has been done in many >ther places, why not here ? We have yet to see where sneh an institution has tailed to pay. They not only pay handsome divi :lends, but they cause everybody's property to enhance, and they bnild up generally. [t was through these associations that the :owns in tihe up contry bnilt up so rapidly, ma it was throughI such org-anizations that large cities in the Great We.st were built in a marvelously short time. While we do not expect that a land im p~rovemecnt comp~lany, if orgaize'id he'e would muake a large city out of .\Iainn, we do bielieve, however, that it soeh ai n ini stitution is started and properly mianaged, Zi less than two years the townt wili 'ncreas fifty per cent , and as it iincreass our chances for mauacturing indusi.tis L e comle greater and iiore sure, anid we tur thr blieve that unlekss the 1-iple of tis town d interest tniiinsive-s abiout its wlfare and1 priprh nobodmy else wih a; s', and in ttead of a li-e,. widie-aiwak', growing, anid proIsperous toiwn, ini less thani ten years th twn will not be large enloughi or havea popuhuin ugn at enan'gh to in:rrish pa il beairers tor the fnieral of those that remiain.1 Editor M1naui'I Ties: Eni'osed you will tind two tollars .

A Graduate of Medicine. Being a graduate of a medical col lege, I am of course prejudiced against all secret proprietary medicines, but I am compelled to say, after being cured of a violent case of inflammatory rheumatism, that S. S. S. is the reme dy for that disease. I took S. S. S. after everything else had failed. I had all sorts of treatment with the best physicians. Had the Turkish bath treatment; went to Hot Springs, Ark.; Jacksonville, Fla.; Colorado Springs, and to California; but no re lief. Then I started home, tired and worn, disgusted with medicine, a friend pursuaded me to try S. S. S. and I did it more to gratify him than from any hope of cure, and the first bottle put me far on the road to per manent cure. I continued it until I am sound and well. GEo. B.

I iam now offi-ring 10o bushels of a new variety of improved ieterkin Seed for sale at $S) ner bushel. or $5 per peek. It is a limed cluster. very prolific, fruits from the ground to the top, and matures every boll. Not liable to drv forms on stalk like other prolities; not liable to fall out like other clusters; makes about the same turn-out of lint as the well known Peterkin, (from :1 to 40 per cent.) I have three years experience with this cotton, and can say I believe it to be the best cotton now in existence. I have neveir offlred it for sale before, and have only 101) bushels for sale. Order right away if vou want them. I am stilt ofl.ring mymv well known variety at $1.50 per bushel, price reduced on large orders. Cash must aceimpany orders and freight prepaid. as railroad will not accept cotton seed without prepay'ing freight. The price on improved seed wiil not be reduced by taking over a peek, but will bc ia the others if ordered in large lots. The farmer who buys a peek of the im proved seed, will consider~ himself fortunate next fall. I have never seen anything to equal it. .JAS. A. PETERKIN. Fort Motte, S. C., .Jan. 22, 1891.
