fall share of the Clarendon trade, and will
advertise regularly in the Tnms. They are

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."

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.

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.

School Discipline.
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.
We desire the people to come to
Sumter and s ie our special bargains
in spring goods: the handsomest line
of prints at 3, 5, 6, 7, and 8 cents per
yard; ginghams 6, 7, and 8 cents per
yard; cheviots at 8 and 10 cents; an
elegant line of dress goods of the very
latest shades in plaids and stripes
from 12 1-2 to 20 cents per yard; a
magnificent assortment of very fine
cashmeres and henriettas at 40, 45, 50,
and 60 cents per yard. These goods

If a lady wants a nice silk dress we
can save her money by buying it

A Permanent Cure.
For years I was troubled with the
most malignant type of chronic blood
trouble. After trying various other
remedies, without getting any benefit.
I was induced by Joe Schell, a bar
ber, who has since moved to St. Louis,
and who was cured by Swift's Specific
of a constitutional blood trouble, to
take S. S. S. A few bottles cured me
permanently. I also consider S. S. S.
the best tonic I ever saw. While tak
ing it my weight increased, and my
health improved in every way. I have
recommended S. S. S. to several
friends, and in every case they were
satisfied with the results.
S. A. WIUGHT, Midway, Pa.
A Mass of Sores
I am so grateful for the beneficial
results obtained from using S. S. S.
that I want to add my testimony to
that already published, for the public
good. I was a mass of sores before
using, but ami nowv entirely cured.

A Child in Salem Voiits a Silver Quarter.
SANDY GROvE, Feb. 14.-We are having a
great deal of sickness in our neighborhood
One or two are sick in nearly every family
The trouble seems to be the grip. 1 hear o
no deaths yet. We need a good practicing
physician in our section. It is one of the
largest and best openings I know of.
All the sickness can't stop Cupid. Orn
the 12th inst., Mr. Bartow Siith, of Wil.
liaisburg, was married to Miss Emma
Moore, of Sumter c mnty. There was a
most magnificent infair given them on their
arrival the next day at Mr. Smith's house.
The procession that escorted the bride andl
groom to their home was gand.
The little child of Mr. W. A. J. Moore
who swallowed the silver quarter some six
months ago threw up the money a shori
time ago. The money bad become black.
The child is getting well.
We are going to have a new railroad
through our section. Mr. Thomas Wilson
is having it built. We think the road will
be a considerable help to the neighborhood.

Nearly $8,000 stock in the Masonic Tem
ple Company has been subscribed.
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.
