Browns & Purdy. of Sumter, want their fall share of the Clarendon trade, and will advertise regularly in the Tnms. They are selling about as low down as any one could ask for, and we have no doubt but that their share of the Clarendon trade will be a whopping big slice. Early Rose and Goodrich potatoes at Johnson's. One night last week while Mr. M. Kalisky was standing on a chair to light the lamps in his store, the chair slipped from under him and he fell to the floor on his back. His head struck a keg of dutch herrings, but with little damage to the keg and a slight bruise to Mr. Kalisky's head. Mr. Kalisky thinks it fortunate that the keg was in the way to break the fall, because if his head had hit the floor with the same force he would have been put to the expense of pay ing a carpenter for floor repairs, as his land lord don't pay for damages "like dose." B. A. Johnson will pay highest prices for hides or take them in exchange for leather. One day last week a horse that Mr. Lee Harvin was driving near Packsville became frightened at an approaching train, and started to run. He got on the railroad track in front of the engine, and dashed forward with the load of cross ties. Mr. Harvin had him by the bit, and tried to stop hint, but in vain. As the train came nearer Mr. Harvin turned the horse loose. After running on the track two hundred yards, he left it and took through a field. ran over several stumps, until tired out he finally stopped. Not a thing was damaged. Horse, wagon, harness, and driver unhurt, and the cross ties still on the wagon ! Fresh and genuine garden seeds at Din kins & Co.'s drug store. One of the handsomest drug stores in the State has recently been opened in Sumter in the Monaghan building by Messrs. W. H. Gilliland & Co. These gentlemen are expe rienced pharmacists, and take great pride in their business, as is exhibited by the ele gant arrangement of their establishment. They handle everything in the drug and fancy goods line, together with such novel ties as are usually kept in first-class drug stores. Their magnificent snow cases and windows would do credit to a much larger town than Sumter. Their prescription cab inet is worth a trip to Sumter to look at. It is made of walnut, hand carved, and in the center is an elegant French plate mirror. We ask our readers when in Sumter to visit this palatial establishment, and they will vote it one of the handsomest places they have ever seen. Mr. Aaron Weinberg has in his flower yard some curiosities in the nature of trop ical trees and shrubbery. He has a cork, a rubber, and several camphor trees, all of which are growing beautifully. The cork tree is about twenty feet high, and is not alone a curiosity, but is also valuable. The rubber tree is just beginning to grow, and is pliable to the touch just like a piece of india rubber. The camphor trees are be ginning to branch out, and are bearing smooth leaves, light green in color. These trees when grown will be very pretty and will giegood shade as well as being ornament al.He lsohasan almond tree in bloom. Mr. Weinberg takes o.xnsiderable interest in his beautiful front yard, and is not afraid to make investments for the beautifying of his premises. He claims, and rightly so, that every dollar spent in improving one's home is that much added to the monetary value of the property, and a greater value is added by making the home so attractive that the children will feel that there is no place like home. NEW FIRM. At A. A. Solomons Stand, Sumter, S. C. The citizens of Clarendon arc re spectfully invited to inspect the large and attractive stock of new spring dress goods and trimmings, notions, domestics, gents' furnishing goods, ladies' and children's fine shoes and slippers, now being carefully selected and arriving daily. BROWNS & PUJRDY. MannIng Ships Goods to Sumter. Last Thursday we witnessed the gratify ing sight of seeing goods shipped from Manning to the city of Sumter. The goods were sold by M. Levi to one of the largest planters in that county. This shipment proved to us that Manning can sell goods as close as any other town in the State, because the party making this purchase buys largely and is a very close buyer, and the fact of his buying in Manning and having his goods shipped to his home in Sumter shows that there are merchants in this place that are not afraid to compete with such a place as Sumter. A good argument is furnished by this cir cumstance for the people of this county to come to their county seat when they want to buy. The days for large profits are gone, and our merchants realize it, and knowing that the people understand the value of oods they will not turn off trade if there is a possible chance of selling their goods with a living profit. If goods can be sold in Manning and shipped to such a strong competing point as S imter, then we see no reason why our people should be afraid to make their pur chases here. WON BY AMERICANS.

The children we are teaching will live in stirring times. During their time there will be wrought out a more general and vital change in the condition of society than has ever been accomplished in one epoch since the night when the bright star !tlashed over Jerusalem. Preparation has been going on for the last 50 vears in theoretical seutie, in practical arts, in commerc,, in travel, in the cultiva tion of intelligence, in political principles, in criticism and in philosophy, the results of which remain for them to elaborate. The rays may possibly converge to a focus dur ing the life time of those whom we have in our charge. It is undeniably our duty to prepare them for this struggle. It is an old saying as is the teacher so is the pupil. Then we are responsible for the position they take in the future. Now comes the question. How can we best train them to take part in this struggle? What is the frst essential? We unhesit-tingly answer DMseplire. Yea, of more importance than even the mental and moral training. The first duty of a teacher is to secure order in the school room. All of his energies and powers imust be devoted to secure good discipline, to Iar monize and bring together the diverse and discordant elements so as to render his work possible. This is the teacher's first and most important duty. Without discipline what can he accomplish? Is his advice taken ? Can he teach ? No. Without order his work amounts to naught. No matter how smart, how well educated a teacher may be; lie or she may have one of the brightest minds of this century, but there is something want ing, something more needed. They must be able to impart knowledge to the child. Now under what circumstances can you succeed best in imparting knowledge ? Certainly when the children are interested. When there is a bond of sympathy between your self and the children. And under what cir cumstances only can you secure this? By having liscipline or order. As with the sol dier so with the pupil. TLe soldier must first be trained to obey, to unquestionably obey, to preserve order, this is his first train ing, this is his discipline. Thisisthefoun ation, the all essential to a good soldier. By this training his character is formed, his mind in a conditicn to carry out the higher and nobler duties of a soldier; so with the child, teach it that its first and last duty is to obey, to preserve o:der. This accom. plished the nir~d is ready for the imparting uf that knowledge that will fit it for its fu ture duties in life. Obedience is the key stone of the arch of knowledge. It is the open sesame to wisdom. As Bishop Doane has so aptly said; "Obedience is the health of human hearts; obedience to God, obedi euce to father and mother, who are to chil dren in the place of God. Obedience to teachers and masters who are in place of father and mother. Obedience is but self government in action." But teachers be not Gradgrinds. Remember the mind of a child is as a sheet of white paper on which you trace that which will make or mar his future life. You have a terrible responsibil itv. You are treading on hallowed ground. You are entrusted with an immortal being. You are to apprehend its nature. Trmpt it to expand by your irluences and discip, ines; to mould mind and body to all the beauty and perfection of wzich it is capable; plac ing discipline even before knowledge. It has been said that the physician nust needs un derstand the body, but the teacher beth mind and body and that teaching is awakening the powers in the child to perceive, and feel, and think, and act. But do not try to train their youhful minds to stubboru facts alone. Do not imagine that facts alone are wanted in life. Do not teach them that all things mubt be reduced to combinations and mod ifications of mathematical figures which are susceptible of proof and demonstration. "Don't think that children's heads are hol low. Don't follow Puck's advice and Rap it in and tap it in, What are teachers paid for? Bang it in, slam it in, What are children made for? Rub it in, club it in, All there is of learning, Punch it in, crunch it in, Quench their childish yearnings for the field and grassy nook, Meadows green and rippling brook, Drive such thoughts afar: Teach the children that they are But machines to cram it in, Bang it in, slam it in, That their heads are hollow.' But remember that genuine discipline is not the result of force. T1o secure discipline do not use force. Force is not necessary. You ask then, how shall I seceie order so its to carry on my duties ? I answer by touch ing the secret springs of human actions, se cure results through right motives. Rlememi ber that the first and most important duty, if you would succeed, is the ability to con trol, and that the greater part of a child's training is the cultivating and strengthen ing of the virtues, obedience, order, respect, and punctuality, and that these cardinal virtues must be obtained not by foree but b~y entleness. Be a "living example" to your upils, for actions spec~k louder than wvords. Strive never to arouse the spirit of' stub bornness and revenge; as then, if you finally succeed, your success will be unsatis~factory and temporary. In the old theor'y of teach ing discipline was required, (discipline by means of force) to make the children stuty. It was a premise, a means to secure study. But now you must make study the means to secure the highest type of school discip line. That 1s to interest the children and thus obtain order. Be careful and do not arouse the rebellious spirit of the child. But by kindness teach it self-control, and to give up to your rules and regulations. Formerly the literal and liberal use of the rod in the education of children wvas con sidered as a bible teaching. Don't make the child regard itself as an example of blind agony, of shame and wrath, and burn for revenge. There is a class of coldly con scientious, severe persons who still as a matter of duty jus~ify severe measures in administering discipline. With sensitive children stolid and unsympathizing force brings on such strong convulsions and ag onies of feelings as to bring on akind of moral insanity which will gradually destroy all that is good in the soul. Of course in some fewv cases severe meas ures (force) is necessary. Bnt remember the child is a reasoning being and use ex traneous force only in exceptional instances and in sure emergencies. But the pierfee tion of discipline is not the result of force but of kindness. Let your discipline be strong and firm but loving and kind. Strive to reach down into his soul a&nd bring out his own better nature. Thus, and thus on ly, can success attend your efforts. You must have a community of sentiment and common interest in the schcol. Establish a bond of love and sympathy between yotu self and children and thus bring about that beautiful circle of intereot so nesessary to the success of your school. A writer well versed on the subject has in homely style, but truly said "The school is best when the teachers and the children keep school to gether." Teachers you are entrusted with the training of "that which shall resist the empire of decay. When time is o'er and worlds have passed away, Cold in dust the perished heart may lie, But that wihich wvarmed it once can never die." Guard well your conduct before you find fault with your pupils; examine yourselves. Your looks and actions are closely watehed and followed. You are responsible for the discipline in your school. An unpleasant countenance will destroy the order which it is your duty to maintain. As you are bright, cheerful, loving, and kind so will your pu pils be. A rough, harsh, unsympathizing manner will ruin any school. Your duties are arduous and exacting in the extieme; true, "Uneasy rest the heads of those wvho rule' the mos t so his whose kingdom is a school."Te strive to make your kingdom a home, a garden spot to which your pupils may look back in after years with only fond ness and love. Let us remember as "Toiling, rejoicing, sorrowing, Onward through life wve go: Each morning sees some task be'gun, Each evening sees its close: Something attempted, something done, Has earned a night's repose."

Editor Manning Times:-As we have previously mentioned, our spring goods are arriving on every train, and our clerks are arranging them for the display that we propose having at our grand opening which begins next week and will continue for some time. It being customary among the large retail establishments in larger cities to have a gand opening and exhibit of their goods at the beginning of each season, we propose to imitate that. commendable custom by having a grand exhibit of our spring goods, and every day during this exhibition our clerks are instructed to mark every thing down.

Our friends and patrons will now remem ber that the Watchman (d Southron is now on its own ground, on Liberty street oppo site the fire engine house. Mr. H. A. Rlodgers, who lives just on the other side of Pocotaligo swamp, had the top of his houses blown off during a high wind on Sunday afternoon, the 1st instant. Abram James, the negro who stabbed Boston Gilbert to death in Charleston about two weeks ago was arrested at this place this morning by Chief of Polce Weeks. Rev. David Levy, of Charleston, lectured to the Jews in Masonic Hall last Sund iy. He will give them a service every other Sunday. A choir has been formed and the music on Sunday was very sweet. The next service will be on the 22nd. It has been stated that the prisoners im plicated in the Bishopville riot case, now in jail, will be brought before Trial Justices Goodman and H. L. B. Wells, at Magnolia, on a writ of habeas corpus, on Friday next. The bail bonds of these parties have already been fixed at $300, and the trial justices as well as everybody else, are at a loss to con ceive the meaning of this procedure. Some time ago a drummer who held a N. E. R. R. check, No. 748, lost his trunk at the Coast Line depot in this city. It was supposed to have been stolen from the plat form of the depot. The matter was put in to the hands of Chief of Police Albert Weeks, and after working up the case, he found the trunk last night in the house of a colored man named Daniel Booth. S- me of the things were also found in Angelina Nelson's house, a colored woman. Both of the par ties live in the city. Mr. David J. Winn who has been in the clothing business for over forty-three years. and who is at present the oldest merchant in Sumter, has made up his mind to retire from active business. He is ore of the best known of the Sumter merchants, in the county and State. His business career has been a successful one, and has been marked by fair dealing and strict integrity. Mr. Winn started in Sumter as a tailor on the bench, and has made many suits of clothes. His business increased rapidly, and just be fore the war was conducted on a large scale, with a number of men at work under him. He was the first man who ever sold clothes in Sumter. Wm. P. DuRant, formerly a postmaster at Manning, was arrested on 6th February, on a charge of forgery. Some time ago E. H. Deas, deputy collector, signed a letter of credit to Parish & Company, a Philadelphia firm, for $40 in favor of DuRant who was then teaching in the free school at Concord, and wanting to buy books. At the time of signing the letter Deas filled out all the blanks in the letter in pencil. It now shows changes throughout in pen and ink, alleged to have been done by Duflant. The aniount of credit is also changed to $75. The defendant waived the preliminary he-aring, and in default of $500 bond, re quired by the Trial Justice, has been com nitted to jail. On Monday afternoon, as MajTF' Haynsworth was quietly seated in his law office writing, a servant steppmed in and pre sented him a note from Colin C. M~anning, Esq., of this city. We do not know what the contents of the note were, but we saw a fine horse and new tbuggy standing in front of the office. It proved to be a present from Mr. M~anning and his sister, Mrs. David B. Williams, of Camden. The horse was sent down across the country from Camden on Monday morning, arnd was taken around to WV. M. Graham's stables where be was put into a new set of harness, hitched to a handsome phacton and driven to Mr. Haynsworth's. The horse is a beau tifal one, driven by the late Ex-Governor Manning shortly before his death. It is said that "beauty provoketh thieves." -The Major had therefore best keep a close watch on this present lest the same fate befalls it as in the case of tbe beautiful watch given him, which was stolen sometime ago, and which he has never recovered. Since our last issue the city council has held a meeting and took under considera tion, first, the water works contract. This has now been fully and finally agreed upon and the contract with HI. 0. Rleed of New York confirmed. It provides for the sink ing of an artesian well to a depth of at least 500 feet, which is to supply chemically pure wvater to the city; fifty fire hydrants, to be laid along five miles of main, (mains to be laid on the principal business streets) under the direction of the city council. Ample provision is thus made for furnishing the school buildings, the market, city hall and other public buildings. In addition to this, the parties furthcr contract to furnish four drinking fountains to be located as therein directed, as wvell as water for sprinkling the streets, the last being provided in consider ation that no special license be imposed upon the City Water Works Company. The contract calls for the commencement of work by the company within 90 days from the execution of the same, and the work must be completed in nine months after it is commenced. Ben Mlickerson, an old colored man about 05 years old, who lived on the Foxworth place in the north-west portion of the city, died abont noon last Thursday. As the old man wvas in a destitute condition his cousin John Mickerson applied to the Chief of ro lice Weeks, for money. Mr Weeks consent ed to furnish the coilin on behalf of the city if his relations and friends would bear the other expenses connected with the funeral. After purchasing the coffin and turning it over to him, the chief heard no more of the matter, until it was repoi'ted to him a day or two afterwvards that the colored people had dug the grave at the colored cemetery and put the body of the old man in the cot fin and had actually carried the coffiL con taining the body within one hundred and fifty yards of the grave and then left it lying out all night exposed to the rain until 2 o'clock on Saturday. Mr. Weeks went im mediately to the spot and had the remains decently and properly interred at the entire expense of the city. T1he only apparent reason for this unfeeling conduct on the part of the people who undertook to look after the matter, is that it being late i-1 the evening when they neared time cemetery they became frightened and ran away, leaving the corpse.
