A white woman from Alcoln came to Man ning Monday to complain of her husband to Trrial Justice Timmons. She charged her husband with having cursed her for everything but a lady, also threatening her hfe and striking her with a piece of board four feet long. She wanted the trial justice to issue a wvarrant for her husband im mediatelv as she could not live with him any longer, because -'I is a member of the church and his devilment makes me say things that are not right." Trial .Justice Timmons tried to persuade her out of' the notion of having a warrant issued, but to no purpose. Nothing but a warrant would satisfy her, so at warrant wvas issued to forthwith bring to justie the man whose devilment makes his wife, who is a member of the church, say things that are not rig!.t, and he was arrested by Deputy Poncey yesterday, but before the deputy arrived with his prisoner the trial justice received a telegram to stop the proceedings, and in a short while after the receipt of the telegram the mistreated wife arrived tc plead in behalf of her husband. When the prisoner wes brought in the affidavit was withdrawii, the expenses of the arrest paid, and the turtle-dove couple went home tc make another trial of their future happiness. This couple furnishes a good argument for those that contend that "marriage is a failure." Leading authorities say the only prpe way to treat catarrh is to take a constitu tioial remedy, like Hood's sarsaparilla. Summerton News.

Office of LEVI BROTHERS, Dealers in General Merchandise. Sarmr, S. C., Feb. 3, 1891. Editor Manniug Times:---in a fe days we propose having a -,rand opel ing of spriug gocds of every descri: tion, and we can safely say that it wi be the handsomest display ever place on exhibition in the city of Surntei The goods are arriving on every traii and our clerk are busy opening thet up. They have);been; instructed t mark each piece of goods in plai figures, so that when our grand oper lug takes place every person that hot ors our establishment with a visit ca see for themselves how extremely loi our goods will be sold. While these goods are coming in w wish our friends to know that we sti: have a great many inducements to ol fer them in the way of heavy or wool en goods, and these must be sold re gardless of price, because we hav adopted a rule to clear our shelves c all goods that are about going out c season. This rule we will stick to, fo it pays better to sell off than to carr; over old stock. As the winter seaso draws to a close in order to unloa what winter goods might be on band we mark down everything, thus giv ing our many patrons an excellent op portunity of buying very cheap cheaper in fact than they can be re placed for. Every reader of the Times is awar, of the fact that since the passage o the McKinley bill everything in wool en goods advanced in price, but for tunately for ourselves and also for th< people that entrusted us with thei: confidence and patronage, we watche( the congressional proceedings, and a soon as we saw that Mr. McKinle was about to be successful, we a once began making contracts for fu ture delivery with the largest dr; goods, clothing, carpet, and hat fac tories, and some of our future deliv ery contracts were not completed un til last month. By doing this we had the advantag of every other merchant, and avoide< the sudden advance in price. We dit the same'with our shoe contracts, an( we can now sell shoes iight from ou: shelves as cheap as some merchant; can buy them at wholesale. Heuca the McKinley bill has not hurt us, bu gave those who are buying from us . decided advantage over their neigh bors that bav elsew1ere. Iii our last letter we spoke of ou busiuess in fertilizers, and we believi we have doubled all the other Louse: in Sumter in this line. When car af ter car came into Suniter loaded wit] guano last fall it was a great surpris to merchauts as well as farniers, bu they now see that we knew what w were doing by placing our contract far in advance of everybody else. A a consequence we are selling cottoi seed meal seventy-five cents a to cheaper than it can be bought to-da: at the factories, and we are doing th same with guanos and all other fer tilizers. We realize the fact that our patron are principally farmers, and it be hooves us to look out for their inter ests, because by benefitting the farme we are benefitting the mainstay to th immense business conducted by ui and we advance as the farmer ad vances. We have everythiing in the grocer, line that a well regulated householi can desire or a plantation may us< and we ask your readers to come t< Sumter and give our establishment call. After examining our goods an< getting our prices we are satisfied tha we can sell to the closest buyer, be cause we are close l~uyers ourselve and in the center of close comnpet: tion, hsence our small profits and quie sales. -Respectfully, LEVI BROTHERiS. A carload of the best flo'ir just received Levi's, and for sade at rock bottom ligures. A large lot of fresh garden seed just ri ceived at the Foreston drug store, and f< sale at lowest prices. A WAIF IN SUMTER. Quite a Sensation Creatd by a Poor Lil tie Ba by that was Put Out to Nurse. SU.\ITER,. Jan. 30.-Special: Last nigl Chief of Police Weeks was irformned ti there was a white baby in a negro house i this city who had been brought there fro: Clarendon county to be taken care of, an that the. baby was in a suffrn odto ChifVeeks instituted a search to-da' and soon found the child in the house of negro wvoman named Phillis Davis. At fir: it was denied that the child was there, bi it was soon produneed. It is not sick as h been rumored but it is in a healthy conditio and is just three weeks old. It was brougl here about ten days ago. In responsei inquiries the negro woman said that tb child had been given to her by a young wc man whose name she gave. She~ could n< tell what county the* mother of the cli] lived in, but the name of the place she gaa is in Clarendon county. The child was gi' en to the negro woman to take care of, an shie is being paid for her trouble. The neu of the finding of the child created som what of a sensation here. [The above, including the headlines, taken from the News and Courier, and nc withstanding the assertion that the nmoth< of the waif lives at come station in Clarei don county. we are inclined to think thb this is a city trick Sumter is trying to pla:; Foundlings, street wvaifs, and nursery farm: are eity institutions, and as Sumter has legal right to call herself a city, we expe she is trying to imitate a city in this 11 stance. If it is true that a waif has bee found in that city it is p~robable that tI child is being nurtured in the place ofi own nativity. -Enaron TnMEs.j STATE or OHIo, CITY oF ToL.EDo, Lt'cis COUNTY.

On -July 16, 1SC2, one month to the day after the battle of Secessionville (my first batth), I received a Iransrer froi -Co. G, 2th Regt. Gist's Brigade, S. C. Vols., then !.at Seces-ionville, to Co. I, 23rd Regt., Ev ans's liigadt, S. C. Vols., then at Wappoo Cut- all on James Island. Evans's Brigade consisted of the 17th, 18th, 22nd, and 23rd a Regts., and the Holeombie Legion, all S. C. o Volunteers. a On the 18th of July the, brigade received - marching orders for Virginia, and after - some little preparation the 23rd struck tents a and were soon in line for Charleston. We V reached Charleston about the middle of the afternoon, and marched to !-the Citadel 0 Green, where we remained until the next evening. On the evening of the 19th we marched to - the 2epot, reaching there about sunset. About dark we boarded the train, and after an all night's travel in box cars reached Co lumbia about 2 o'clock on the 20th. We re f mained in Columbia until the next evening: then at about . o'clock we left Columbia, and our next stop was at Charlotte, N.-C., and after drav.ing and cooking rations we left for Raleigh. From Raleigh to Weldon, thence to Petersburg, and lastly to Rich mond. We reached Richmond Sunday ev ening the 27th. On reaching Richmond we marched to the fair grounds, where we re mained a few days, and then took up the line of march to a place known as "Taylor's - Farm," about nine nixles from Richmond near the James River. We remained-at this point about two or three weeks. While at this place the Federals from Har f rison's Landing made a sally and captured - Malvern Hill, about nine miles southeast - from where we were camped. As soon as the capture of this place was known Evans's Brigade was ordered to recapture Malvern Hill. The 23rd was promptly in line, with I Col. H. L. Benbow commanding the regi ment. We left for Malvern Hill immedi ately after receiving orders to move, taking the turn pike leading from the vicinity of t our camp to the point needed. arriving near Malvern quite late in the day. It was late when we received orders to move, and im mediately after reaching the desired locality the 23rd was ordt-red to deploy as skirmish - ers and move forward. Leaving the turn - pike in our rear we marched across an open field to a piece of woods that was not more than two hundred yards from where the regiment was formed as skirmishers. A FIGHT IN PROSPEcT. About the time or just before we reached the woods Gen. Evans rode down the lire in our front and said to us: "Boys, you will find the enemy just before you in the woods there," pointing to tne woods. As we were about to enter it began to bc amusing. The t men were cautioned to be quiet and advance % cautiously, so that when we found the ene. my we would be prepared against being th'rown in confusion by his fire, but it was no use. The boys would have their sport out of each other, laughing and making fun at each other's awkwardness. This was the first battle for the 23rd. The Federals no doubt thought from the fuss that Lee's whole arily was coiming. We moved as fast as we could under the circumstances, the woods being very rough, and reached the opposite t side of the woods at the foot of Malvern Hill just about dark. While waiting for Sfirther orders we discovered that the Fed 3 er's had evacuated the hill, and had retired 5 with all speed to their gun-boats then on the I James River at Uarrison's Landing. The commotion among them could be easily guessed by the noise they were making get ting their artillery and wagons away. The 3 nearest we came to sebing a Yankee was a . nrtridge box and a cap, and that was about midway between where we entered the woods and the base of the hill on the other . side of the woods. The Federals must cer -tainly have had advanced po.-ts of pickets in - these wods. After reaching the hill and .while while waiting for something else to aturn up dark came upon us, and dark it was. AN ALL NIGHT MAnIcH. 'While at this point and moving about in -the dark 'we stumbled occasionally on the body of a dead man, and the stench was .great and sickening. The weather was very Swarm, and it did not take decomposition long to set in. The bodies whether Confed erates or Federals we could not tell, owing to the darkness of the night. In all prob a ability it was the bodies of both. 1 After being satistied that it was not nec es.sary to remain whlere we were Col. Benbow gave the order to about face and try and - reach the place where we entered the wvoods. s In trying to make our way out of the woods we became bewildered, owing to the dark ness. T1he regiment became sep~arated or divided into two parts, one part under Col. Benbow and the other under Lient.-Col. Roberts. We rambled about for some time, trying to find our wvay out of the woods Timh part the Lieut.-Col. was with I believe in the course of the night reached the main road leading to cr in the direction of Har -rison's Landing. Col. Benbow's partof the r regiment, the part the writer was with, did not get out of the woods till daylight, and the regiment did not get together until after sunrise. After Col. .Benbow's detachment reached the other detachment at the road already mentioned we remained there until about sunset, when we formed and made our way back to our camp. We remained ~a f ew days at this camip, when we again re t ceived marching orders. The order came to Smarch to Richmond. n On reaching Richmond wve found we were to joun Longstreet's Division, then up at Gordoinsville. We reached Richmond some time in the night as well as I remember, jand the next day wve took the cars for Gor t donsville, said to be ninety miles from Rich m~nond. After reaching Gordonsviile we re d mained there about a (lay, when we set out to join Longstreet's Division. At this place t Evans' Brigade got together again for the o first time since our little fun at Malvern e Hill, and attewvards continued together as a .brigade. Having joined Longstreet's Di t vision at this place it was but a short time before the whole division was in motion to e reinforce "Stonewall" Jackson who was then trying to catch Pope, the great gaseonade of d ankeedom. Having given him a drubbing ~at Cedar Run a few days before he was itch ing to get a chance at him again. Pope was falling back to Manassas, and Jackson was ~keeping as close him as he could, trying to sforce him- to make a stand, but the Federals t made no stand of much importance till they r reached Manassas. Leaving Gordonsville the 23rd with the rest of the division was making good time, and it wias thought that t Pope would be forced to give battle, but .thatt hope of all the Yankee land was not sready to measture arms with the Confederates ye. THE AnmTILL.ERY FIGHT. On reaching the Rappahannock river the 23rd Regiment was ordered for ward to sup n port the Washington Artillery of New Or e leans. T'he Federals had succeeded in cross s ing this river, and had planted several of their batteries to cover their retreat. The Washington Artillery had a good position, a high and long hill, and were pouring their sh'ot and shell after the retreating Federals. We moved forward across an extensive open e ig o ed, ndhad a good view of the ar ytillery fight. TeFederals were returning thentre rapidly. It was grand. The fire was ' eyrp romi both sides and shot and shell 1 tiying and hursting on every side. The white it siioke froii cur baitteries1:egan to rise, roll, h andl gently Lat back before us.. We ad vadas rapidly 'as possible to reach the ba~se of the hil that the aitillery was occu p 'yig in moin" forward we sustaiined some sl iht casuai lties before reaching the hill. Oni reaching the lull we were ordered to lie down , for being in this position we wouild be. less expiosed to the lire of the ene al my. It no w seee as if the- devil must shave gottent into the Yankees in his biggest ii om, for they returned our fire with a ra pidt tha l't deserved credit. Our position v..as at the base ef the hill, lying down in line, ind we lay in line of battle di ring the whole artilry fight, which lasted four hours and~ a half. Our casuiedties were slight: one kiled and several slightly uwounded. This alitir happened on Aug. 23rd. Company I (the company I was a member of)' had two or three wounded. It will not be amiss to st"t. here that this day and in this afihir the firs"t blood was shcd in Company I, better known in Clarendon as the Sprott Guards. F"or this reason the survivors of the Sprott Guards iave their annual reunions on the 2'&ra of August. sTILL HUtNTING A FIoHT. id The artillerists sustained casualties also, ed. What contributed to their. casualties was the bursting of one of their guns, and by this accident their loss was made great er. After the difficulty at this place was over we were soon on the march'again. The Federals in their retreat, and to furth-r im pede our advance, burned the bridge behind them. The burning of the bridge compell ed us to march several miles to a place we could ford the river. We forded the Rap pahannock and Rapidan rivers, and were soon in the wake of the retreating Feder als. In a few days after the affair on the Rappabannock we began to near the plains of Manassas. On Thursday evening about 4 o'clock we were in hearing of the guns. Gen. Jackson was then unpleasantly enter taining the Yankees at Thoroughfare Gap. Gen. Pope it seems attempted to check the advance of the jubilant Confederates at this place, and failing to do so continued to fall back to Manassas. On the morning of Aug. 29th about sunrise we reached Thoronghfare Gap, and the first or about the first things we began to see was dead Federal soldiers. We continued our march, and all through the gap saw dead Federal soldiers. After getting through the gap we continued our march, and for some distance saw dead Fed eral soldiers. Along their line of retreat guns and cartridge boxes were thrown aside to lighten their load as. much as possible, for the Rebel devils were close on their heels. The 23rd was now making good time, and about the middle of the day reached a point in hearing of the guns at Manassas. Gen. Pope now concluded to stop retreating and give battle. We pushed forward, and just as we were in a short distance of the battle field we were halted and Col. Benbow was ordered to about face with his regiment and march with all speed to a little town in our rear (the name I gave forgotten) and prevent the Federals from capturing it. It was reported that a body of Federals had been detached and sent round to capture this place. After marching about a mile back we were ordered to about face again and march back to MrFnassas. We faced about and commenced our march back, and again it began to be exciting, for the artil lery on both sides was booming and the rattle of musketry could be distinctly heard. We pushed forward with a quick step, and began to meet prisoners being brought in squads to the rear under guard. Keeping the road we soon reached a point where it was necessary to leave the road. At a certain point the 23rd was ordered to file left and take through a strip of woods. After get ting in the woods Col. Benbow gave the order halt. The next order was fix bayo nents, then forward. We marched about a hundred yards in these woods alongside of a fence which was on our right until we reached an open field. Here Col. Benbow gave the order: "Front! right shoulder shift, arms! double quick, march!" We obeyed the orders promptly and moved for ward. We cleared the fence in front in good 3rder, and just as we cleverly cleared the Fence we received amid our ranks a dis ,harge of grape shot from a battery station ed on a hill a little right obliquely of our Front. This fire raked the-- ground in our Front and struck the fence in our rear with terrible rattle. but, strange to say, we sus ;ained no casualties from it. We continued it a double quick to capture this battery. RoUTING A DATTEnY. Our speed was, however, impeded by a stream called Tub or Cub.Run (which was its right name I cannot now remember.) On reaching this run we had to ford it. it being boo wide for us to jump it. The water was very cold and about waist deep. We were not long in reaching the opposite bank of the run, and after clearing the run we mov ed forward across the same road we had left Dn filing left into or through the woods al ready mentioned. By the time we reached this road the Federals abandoned this posi tion and taking their battery fell back. On reaching the road we moved across it and re-formed our line of battle, we having be come a little disorganized in getting over the run already spoken of. The position of the 23rd was now on the right of the road. On the left of the road was formed in line of battle a Texas Brigade, which was mov ing in our rear to support our regiment. These dispositions of the troops to form on the right and left of the road was made to ptotect them from the fire of the enemy. It was thought the enemy would bring their batteries to bear on this road and rake it with grape shot. After we were all so ar ranged it began to near night. We were quietly in position now, not knowing what would be the next order. The fire of the troops on both sides had about ceased, with the exception of a random rifle or musket shot fired in some distant part of the field. [To be concluded next week.] NOT ONE IN TEN of the people you meet from day to day has perfectly pure, healthy blood. The hezet itary scrofuloas taint afflicts the large major ity of people, while many others acquire dis eases from impure air, improper food and wrong indulgences. Hence the im perative necessity for a reliable blood purifier like Hood's sarsaparilla, which eradicates every impurity, and gives to the blood vitality and health. It cures scrofula, salt rheum, hu mors, boils, pimples, and all other affec tions caused by impurities or poisonous germs in the blood. All that is asked for Hood's sarsaparilla is that it be giyen a fair trial. Is There A Gambling Hell in Forestonl EDI'on MANNXG TIMEs-In your last is sue I see a communication in which the writer is not very complimentary to your town and also to a station below Manning. Of course there is more than one place where the the cars stop to take a passenger, but they are mierely sidings; therefore, I am led to the conclusion that Foreston is the place he refers to. If such is the case, as he alleges, I must say lhe is better posted than those living here, except those engaged in what he alleges; and if he knows so much I have no doubt that he has taken a hand with them, or probably is agent for the house that fills the demijohns. The government had better give him a commis sion to hunt up all such cases. Our town has always been noted for its morality, and I think deservedly so. cITrzEN. Foreston, February 2, 1891.
