THE MANNING TIMES. S. A. NETTLES. Editor. WEDNESDAY, February 18, 1891. Our paper is chokeful of interesting reading this week. Gen. W". T. Sherman, the man who burned Columbia and devastated the South generally at the close of the, war, died last Saturday in N\ew York.' The United States Government has paid him highest honors. Ex-President Cleveland's letter on free coinage has created considerable unfavorable comment among his here tofore staunchest supporters, and pre dictions are now being made that the letter will cost him the nomination for the presidency. Governor Tiflman has appointed as commissioners of registration for the city of Charleston George W. Wil liams, Bernard O'Neill, and Jacob Small. These three gentlemen are bank presidents, and have the confi dence of the entire community. This appointment will have the effect of knocking to pieces ringism if such a thing ever existed in that city.

HOCUS POCUS BoOE-EEEPING. The assets are swollen by the addition of - unissued certificates of all sorts to the amount of $26,953,132.00, which assets, how ever, if assets at all, are in no sense worth more than so much paper until they have been issued for their face value of gold, sil "ir or currency, as the case may be. Said certificates are also included in the liabili ties, thus perpetrating a double fraud upon ' the public by making the people believe (1) ~-that the treasury assets are greater than they Sreally are, and (2) that the circulation of cer iictsis larger than it is. -rEE MONET voLaUME ~- Of the United States is less than $1,600,000, 0)0.00. But assuming it to be that much, and counting the population at $84,000,000, the per capita is only $25. Small as that per e 5iai, it is much larger than the per Oca.ftja in actual circulation; for if we add together the sums locked up (1) in federal, ztate, territorial, district, city and county S treasuries; (2) in banks of all kinds; (3) in a .nevolent institutions, railroad and other oarpordte agencies; (4) in private hoards of e very kind,-it will be found, no doubt, that the per capita in active circulation is h>Iardly as much as $10 apiece for our 64,000, 0 100 of inhabitants. Boarding is as much a to4' haracteristic of man as spending is, or Rapcuatinor commerce; and in estimating necessary amount for any given people, ~-allowance must be made for the hoarding Spropensity. SThe French are the only people whose sta ~'tistics on this subject furnish any reliable facts for the instruction of the world; and seperience, our own or others', is the only Slamip by which to guide our feet. The his p'.-tory of France proves (1) that a civilized ind commercial people, with good facilities; fr for intercourse and trade, will need from $75 Sto $100 per capita-j gold, i silver, }notes; Sand'(2) that about one-half of the gold and W '-lver wiflbe hoarded by people of small rneans, ceaving in circulation nearly equal aounts of bills and of gold and silver. The French are, perhaps, the best-to-do ~.people on the face of the earth. How else1 'could thoy, after having been plundered by the German armies, have paid that tribute ~'of a billion or more of dollars? How else culd the peasants of France have taken the %ecent lare French loan ? How does it hap en that they are so well-to-do ? One potent ECcause is that they have a monetary circula rtlonequal to their needs. With a popula tion not much more than two-thirds of ours, -their money volume -even now, after having Sb.'n so mercilessly robbed by Germany en ly a few years ago-is from two to three m'-tres as much as ours. eccording to a recent report of the direc tor of our mint, the following table shows Sthe coined gold and silver of the world: Gold. Silver. India & China $1,700,000,000 $ 900,000,000 France 700,000,000 - - 02,000,000 United States 482,000,000 550,000,000 England 100,000,000 5&0,000,000 Germany 145.000,000 S40,000,000 Austria 90,000,000 I035,000,000 All others 503,000,000 3,72,000,000 The World 3,800,000,000 Now where do we find the greatest ine -quality of condition among the people ? the -greatest poverty and the greatest wealth ? In China, India, and the East generally, where 'the circulation is less than three dollars per "'Itai; then in Austria where the per capita is small; then in Germany; then in England; hien in th-e United States; whilbt in France the people are, in the main, better off than anywhere else in the world, the -nass of the people being better off than ,lse where-the wealth of the country not concentrating in a few hands as in the United States, England, Girmany, Austria and elsewhere, where money is scarce and dear whilst the people * are numerous and poor, their products aoundant and cheap. CEEAP MONEY. A great deal of nonsense has been recently uttered, ignorantly or knavishly, about silver as being cheap money. What can be cheaper, intrinsically, than notes, bills and checks ? 'Which has the greater intrinsic value, a $'2, 000,000 cheek, a $10,000 treasury note, a $100 g.ld certificate, a $1 silver certificate, or a beggarly 10 center? Has any one of them the least appreciable intrinsic money value ? It would be impossible to estimate such in trinsic value. How is it possible for silver to become such cheap money ? Where in history can an example be found, unless when and where silver became as plentiful as stones in the valley ? Wasn't gold once a very cheap money in Spain ? Suppose dia monds should become as plentiful as the pbbles on the seashore; they would then bcme very cheap. Money-gold, or silver, or paper-becomes cheap when it is in great excess of all the demands of the people not otherwise. It is very deatr, when scarce; and scarcity of money tends to reduce the mass of the people to slaver y.' The people of the United Stetes numioer 81,000,000. They need at least $75 per cap Zita. That calls for a money volume of $4, 800,000,000, instead of our beggarly $1,600, 0(0,000 or less. Of that amount $1,600,000, 000 should be gold; $1,600,000,000 silver; $1,600,000,000 notes. Should all our gold anid silver product be coined as fast as it is rained, it will take from 30 to 150 years to coin enough gold and silver to meet the de mands. Every year adds 2,000,000 to our poatmin, ruwring an additional circula tion of S15O0,000,000. -three ti our silver product. What Drag along with $10 or less that the poor may become p wealth of the country con hands of a few billionaires? the result of scant circulation, ev, of a strictly gold coinage. ~ How is it that "Big-Man Dollar-of-the-Daddlies" knows s driving gold out of the countyi. In what countries has it been done ? France is sur rounded by the enemies of silver, and yet France --according to the director of our mint-has a silver circulation nearly as great as that of gold. Eoesn't France claim to have even more silver coin than gold ? Moreover, Germany is now praying for silver, for the double standard once more. She sees the prosperity of France; and rec ognizing that her own poverty is due to her folly in demonetizing silver, she is now get ting anxious to retrace her steps. DEAR MONEY AND HIGH TAMJFF Are the two twin abominations of this counu try: they and sectional hostility are the three legs of the tripod that upholds the Republican party; and they are all uncon stitutional. Gold and silver are constitu tional money; low taxes, home rule, and fraternity are constitutional. The Demo cratic party is the party of the constitution; is the party of hard money, gold and silver; is the party of low taxes, home rule, and fraternity. The Republican party is Euro pean in politics, taxes, government, and gold money; the Democrvtic party is Ameri can in politics, taxes, home rule, and hard money, white as well as yellow. The Repub lican party would concentrate the wealth of the country in the hands of a few and make the mass of the people slaves; the Demo cratic party wants to see every man a well to-do freeman, living independently under his own vine and fig-tree, each citizen the equal of kings and queens, of emperors and empresses. But, if afraid that silver may, some time before judgment day-certainly not during the next thousand years-may run gold out of the country, why, when the prospect is a hundred or so years off, we can adopt the goloid coinage of Alexander H. Stephens. We might even adopt it now to save the "Fat Men-Afraid-of- the- Dollar- of- the- Daddies," from dying of night-mare; for experiments have proved that such coinage is perfectly feasible. We would then have a coinage composed of equal parts, in value, of gold and silver; and Miss Goldy being then indissolubly united by the bonds of mar riage to Mr. American Silver, could not skip over to Europe to wed some rotten-borough duke, or pappy prince. Stand by the Democratic party as the par tv of the people, the only hope of the coun try. JoHN M. PacHAin.sos. Manning, S. C., Feb. 16, 1891. Sufferer Speaks on the Question. Enron MasiG Tnims:-I see a commu nication in answer to Sufferer signed T. A. Way. Is he one of our county commission ers? If so, he complains of Sufferer, says his communication is calculated to mislead the public and sling mud at the county cmmissioners, and yet listen to what he s: "For really the causeway reported was just in the condition sef forth by him. I am ready to admit all that he says of Mt. Hope swamp." He further says he never saw the place before. I will here ask if he has not been county commissioner for over two years drawing his salary, a port:on of said salary paid by those who hava to travel over Mt. Hope swamp to reach Manning to pay those taxes? If so has he not taken or se ured money under false pretences, and with others should be held accountable? In office two years, and never saw the place before ? Efficient officer! Please note what the gentleman says, "I have always thought it bad faith upon the part of any man to ondemn a public officer for what Sufferer or any other good citizen liable to road duty ught to have done and helped to do them elves." He further says: "Has Sufferer been as willing to show his public spirit in belping his overseer in fixing this part of the road by hauling dirt, as he has shown to the people by going into the newspaper nd borrowing conclusions?" I must confess the gentleman has more :heek than any man I have ever known. He] county commissioner, drawing his salary, tad asking others to do his duties. If the gen eman had giv c time o the welf the ' - ns of the county s he did round soliciting the suf [rages of the dear gtod people, telling them tow loosely things had beefcoma':tcd and :he reforms he would make, Mt. Hope and dl other swamps would have been macada nized road ways. Now, the whole township is ordered out : work on ?it. Hope, not only the hands hat belong to this road, but those who havec )ther roads to keep up. Justice in a nutc ~hel! The gentleman says he has appoint-a d an overseer and ordered him to put the auseway in good condition, and if it is not lone it is no fault of the county commis oners. That is something new. I have d.vays been taught to believe that the coun :y commissioners had the power given themt force those liable to do road duty. See what the gentleman again says, "I wfully fear Sufferer belongs to this class vho never are willing to do road duty. 0th rs are lead to follow his example. This nust be the logical conclusion, for many :omplain just as he does who never do onet ;ngle thing for the public roads." Has the gentleman ever done more than the law re luired of him ? If so let him speak out. If Mt. Hope is made passable I shalihave I othing more to say about the matter. But, Mr. Editor, if I have not already aken up too much space, I would like to ay Friend Tom my respects. He says for o weeks he has been on the go, looking dter county affairs, getting ready for tha~t ugust body some people call the grand jti-r 'ors, who look into everybody's business ex-t :ept their own. The jury commissionerr nust be remarkably wise to draw that classs f jurors and not get a single man who at-t ends to his own business. I fear Friend 2 L'om is scared. He tells of a delightful trip from Man iing to Brewington, and of spending thei iight at Friend Johnson's, which remindse yim so much of home. I would like to ask f he reminded Friend J. that his pay wasi -] 3 per day and 10c. mileage? Guess not. Next day he arrived at Foreston. He don't hink it will be a seaport town. Some pro- . 'ress fromi what he saw two years ago. He 'as mighty close Mt. Hope. On leaving 'oreston you come in contact with all the rouble of the way, Mt. Hope swamp. He sys the merchants stand in tacir own light o suffer this miserable crossing; to get in that i. Do hear him ! "They for the benefit >f their town should contribute liberally to tgood condition." Tom says, "From St. Marks ch'irch to autee township line the roads are in good raveling condition." I cannot speak of my wn knoweldge, but on Saturday, the 14th lay of February, 1891, two highly respecta e gentlemen told me they were almost im assable. I will ask Bro. Tom if he did not id at a point a large log across the road ;hat had lain there for years, and the way xund it almost impassable. None of the roads have had any attention for years, and n many places carriages can't pass each >ther without one taking the woods. Mt. nope swamp is all I am interested in. sU.FFERIER.

It may not be striking, but, like many things small and plain, it is of intrinsic worth, and if given a chance will surely win its way. It is a pillow cushion for carriage or rail way use; it is usually ten by twelve inches, or twelve by fourteen; it is filled with down and covered with material to match that with which the owner's carriage is upholstered, with black velvet or with smooth soft wool goods of any kind. The -outside is fitted smootbly over the inner pillow cover and seamed together at the sides; the over-lapping pointed flap is tacked down and a small flat button is added which helps to give it the ap pearance of a bag, but it is only a barmless deception (though the flap might admit of a pocket if one cared to risk anything in one so likely to be tossed about and "sat upon"); the edges are finished with a neat but in conspicuous braided cord; for a short distance along the middle of the upper edge the cord is left unattached, a loop or carrying-strap being thus pro luced. Soft, pluap, and light, noth ing better can be devised with which o fill some troublesome hollow in the arriage seat, side, or back, or softly pad some tender spot that cannot be jarred or jolted with impunity. Hang ing from the corner of a high chair back, it supplies a grateful rest for the tired head, or tucked down by the ide it gives comfortable support to a lender form in a rather too capacious eat; they are also handy to take in the lap when the little ones' tired eads begin to nod for a traveling aap. They are generally plainly made to ttract attention as little as possible, but are occasionally trimmed with ap plique work and cording, or with :verlaid laces tacked securely down, but nothing hard or bunchy should be added to them or anything that will necessitate careful handling, as in their use comfort is the one object to be sought. To REmovE GREASE FROM CARPETS. Lay a piece of blotting-paper ciir the spot and place a moderately hot hon pon the paper.

[County Record, Feb. 11.] Great numbers of horses and mules eon ine to be solt in this county. There are about four hundred delinquent axpayers in this county, the aggregate of rhose taxes will not amount to more than ne thousand dollars. Judging by the large quantities of fertili ers that we see being hauled away from be town, and by other indications of activ ty, it looks as if the farmers are making a ood start for another crop. Mr. R. A. Bradham at Lake City died ist Tuesday, 10th inst., aged 84 yeers. He oved from this county 44 years ago to opchoppy, Fia. He returned only a few reeks ago to visit his relatives and friends. A white man came to town last Saturday, iding a mule. He said he wanted to swap im for a horse. A trade was soon in prog ess between himself and a gentleman of his town. The man said he would like to ide the horse a short distance in town to ee how he would like his movement. To his the gentleman readily assented. The can mounted the horse, left the mule, and id not return. He was pursued to his ome in Clarendon county, where the orse was found and brought back to its wner. The man says he thought the trade ras consummated, hence his departure. he mule was returned to him. He did ot believe in the old'saying that "it takes wo to make a bargain."
