Fresh and genuine garden seeds at Din kins & Co.'s drug store. Some person on mischief bent set fire last Sunday afternoon to the broom grass near the depot. The wind was blowing pretty hard at the time, but fortunately the grass was only in spots and no damage was done. This is a dangerous piece of work, and if the town council could catch the party they would impose a very heavy fine. Acquitted. Below is the affidavit on which M1. C. Gal luchat, Esq., was arrested and tried before Trial Justice Timmons: STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, COUshi r O CTAaNNDoN.f Personally appeared before me B. Davis, who being duly sworn says that at Manning on the sixteenth day of March, one thous and eight hundred and ninety one, in the county and State aforesaid, M1. C.

As stated last week the jury failed to agree on the first trial, which was held last Wed. nesday. Thursday another trial was held, taking up the entire afternoon. When the jury first went into the room it stood five for acquittal and one for conviction. Finally a verdict of acquittal was rendered. The evidence against Mr. Galluchat for carrying concealed weapons was totally in adequate to bind him over, and that case was also dismissed by the trial justice.

The regnlar time for the spring comu nion in Manning Presbyterian church, is the 1st Sabbath in April, and Saturday be fore. Rev. H. C. DuBose, D.

She proposes to have her rooms neatly and comfortably furnished with new furniture, and the large rooms and beautiful and shady location will make it one of the most desirable boarding houses in the State. Mrs. Strother, a lady of experience in keeping a boarding house will have the management of the house, but it will also be under the personal supervision of Mrs. E Burgess, who says she proposes sparing no expense in having one of the best tables the market can afford, and she feels confi dent of pleasing the most fastidious. The house is conveniently situated both for the business part of t wn and for the depot. Mrs. Burgess will cater principally for the transient trade, but she will be able to accomodate four or five permanent board- 3 ers. Those who desire board at her house should apply at once. There will also be located on the second floor a bath room for the use of guests, and this will be a luxury and convenience that no boarding house in this town has ever be fore offered. We feel assured from what 3 Mrs. Burgess has told us of her plans that she will make a complete success of it. Summerton News. Simmros, March 24.-The farm ers are putting in their corn, and vill soon be ready to plant cotton. The low price for cotton and the high price for corn should be a stimulant to planting more grain. The buying of coin and bacon by our farmers in stead of raising it is one cause of our poverty in the South. There is not a farmer that runs a two horse farm but could raise all his provisions and meat if he would give it the-same at tention he does his cotton crop. It is true cotton is ready cash, but the most farmers spend their cotton money before it is made and buy their corn and bacon on credit and at such prices that will always keep them poor. One of your devils paid our town a flying visit on Saturday. He said it was his first trip in this part of the country, but I don't suppose it will be his last if he was fortunate enough to find the object of his visit. Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Stubbs, of Sum ter, are visiting relatives in this place. Mr. Bobbie Smnythe, of Charleston, is visiting at his uncle's, Maj. R. R. Briggs's. The regular meeting of Summierton lodge A. F. M. will be at their hall this evening. The Deputy Grand. Master will be here. Mrs. Whilden is visiting at Dr. A. 3. Brigg's. c. Newsy Notes from Foreston. Fonxsrox, March 23.-La grippe has en-1 tered the precincts of our town. We had congratulated ourselves that we would be exempt but it seems that the just has to suf fer with the unjust: so la grippe is here, and a very unwelcome guest too. Our farmers are making extensive pre parations for the coming crop, each one hoping to excel the other in quantity per acre in both corn and cotton. Some of them are basing their calculations on one and a half to two bales per acre. Gather ing time will decide the matter. Mr. R. B. Hudgins has contracted to have a rice mill put in operation for the coming rice crop, which is the most profit able crop one can plant on low lands. He will have the capacity to clean all that may De raised in the surrounding country, and w1ll guarantee, he says, satistaction. The Methodist Sunday-school proposes celebrating Easter Sunday from a program furnished by the South Carolina conference. The ladies will decorate the church for the occasion. All friends and the public are invited and esipecially the editor of the TxEs and his good lady. PRoGEsS. "Golden Medical Discovery" cures those diseases which come from blood impurities scrofula and skin diseases, sores and swell ings. But does it? It's put up by the thous ands of gallons, and sold to hundreds of thousands. Can it cure as well as though it had been compounded just for you? Its makers say that thousanas of people who have had tetter and salt-rheum, ecze ma and erysipelas, carbuncles and sore eyes, thick neck and enlarged glands, are well tc-day because thiey used it. Suppose that this is so. Suppose that a quick-witted man was far-seeing enough to know that to cleanse the blood was to cleanse the life. Suppose that by many experiments, and after many failures, he discovered this golden key to health and that his faith in it for you is so strong that you can go to your druggist, buy a bottle, and if it doesn't help you, you can get your money returned cheerfully. Will you try it ? The remedy to have faith in is the remedy the makers themselves have faith in. CHANGE OF AGENCY. The Great Southern Music House Makes New Agents. Special notice is hereby given that J. B. Killough & Co., of Florence, S. C., are no longer our agents for the sale of Pianos and Organs. Our arrangement with them hav ing been mutually discontinued, we have appointed Z. GODBOLD, of Manning, S. C., to sell for us in the countien of Williams burg and Clarendon. All our patrcns can buy from him at our prices until further notice. We arc the sole Southern Agents for the leading instruments of America, such as the celebrated Chickering, 31ason d& .Haliin, 3fathushek, and Sterling Pianos, and Mason & Hamlin and Sterling Organs. Our trade is far the largest in the South, amount ing to nearly half a million dollars yearly. All intending purchasers will find that we can save them money, and it need not be said that it is safest to buy from a house of es tablished reputation. Remember that we place instruments in your oten homes on jifteen days test trial, pay all freight, give a complete odit free, and a six yeairs guarantee with every instrument. The purchase of a Piano or Organ means a large investment. Beware of un known instruments offered by agents of doubtful responsibility. Write u s or our duly authorized agents. LUDDEN & BArES SoERmNr MUSIc HousE, One Slaps, the Other Nioots. Last Friday mornir.g about eleven o'clock the town was thrown into ex citement by a personal difficulty be tween Mr. Aaron Weinberg and M. C. Galluchat, Esq. There was consid erable feeling between these two gen tlemen, arising from the fact that Mr. Weinberg had been somerwhat inter ested in having Davis to prosecute 11r. Galluchat a few days before, and for other prior transactions. Mr. Gal luchat, as stated elsewhere, was ac quitted of the charge the night before. Friday morning is 31r. Gallchat and several other gentlemen were standing in front of Diukins & Co.'s drug store, Mr. Weinberg passc-d. "1r. Galluchat stopped him and asked him if he had said tlat under certain con ditions he would indict him (Gallu c-hat) for libl. 1Mr. Weinberg replied that lie had said so. .1r. Galluheat thereupon slapped Mr. W\eiuberg in the face. -.r. Wei!nberg at once reached for his pistol, and by the time he had pulled it out, Mr. Galluchat bad stepped back several paces, ap parently for the purpose of getting rom the crowd he was in and into :he open street. Mr. Weinberg fired >nce, but missed. Mr. Galluchat aised his hands and told him to ;boot again. Mr. Weinberg said he ntended to do so, but before he could ;hoot again he changed his mind and ;aid he would not shoot again. His pistol was a self cocking . 38 .aliber Smith & Wesson, but did not vork freely, or it is probable he would iave fired again, and. possibly with ;erious results, as the two were stand ng very near together. After Mr. Weinberg decided not to ;hoot again, both parties were arrest d and required to put up a forfeit of '10 each to appear before the town :ourcil for disorderly conduct on the -treets. STAND YOUR GROUND. When you make up yo - mind to take Iood's sarsaparilla, do not be induced to >uy some other preparation instead. Clerks nay claim that "ours is as good as Hood's" and all that, but the peculiar merit of lood's sarsaparilla cannot be equalled. Cherefore have nothing to do with substi utes and insist on having Hood's sarsapa 'illa, the best blood purifier. Oice of LEVI BROTHERS, Dealers in General Merchandise. SurrER, S. C., Mar. 23, 1891. Editor Manning Times:-You will lo us the kindness to inform the peo e of Clarendon through your valua )le paper, that we have laid in a tre nendous spring stock, and that we )ropose to sell at a nominal profit in )rder that we may retain the large Datronage already enjoyed by us :brough our established rule of buy ,ng what the people want, in such x manner as to be enabled to sell heaper than other houses.

Mr. Justice Maule once addressed a phenomenon of innocence in a smock frock in the following words: "Pris oner at the bar, your counsel thinks you innocent, I think you innocent, but a jury of your own countrymen, in the exercise of such common sense as they possess, which does not seem to be much, have found you 'guilty,' and it remains that I should pass up on you the sentence of the law. That sentence is that you be kept in im prisonment for one day, and as that day was yesterday, you may now go about your business." Poison in Cosmetics. It seems to be the fashion for young ladies with pimples and blotches on their faces to make experiments with various cosmetics- Madlame Pififypat~y advertises her foreign-named com pound, composed of a combination ,o poisonous mineral substances that deaden and burden the delicate sub stances of the skin. There are no complexions like those that nature give. The tonic, strengthening and health-giving effets of Swift's Spe cific (S. S. S.) permit nature to work her will in this respect, as thousands of ladies, both young and old, have discovered. The cheapest and most beautiful complexions depend on health and vigor. It is the oilice oi Swift's Spcecific (S. S. S.) to give vigoi and tone and health to the system, and in this way to give lustre to the eye and roses to the cheeks. Lawrence Barrett, the great trage dian, died in New York last: Fridany A Wonderful Freak of Nature. The following is an exact copy of an or der recently sent by a citizen of this county to one of our merchants. It is a literary monstrosity worthy of a place in the Nation al Mnseum: Dear Sir Ples sen me 4 Ponds cafe and su Te my wife had a 1',y las nite also 10 Pondsicheese and a Rat Tran.

These are facts, solid and stubborn. They are not to be got'away with by any cheap de vice of bluff or bravado. We place our goods on the market for quality, not quan tity, against those of competing firms, and say: MET OUR PRICES! That's a sort of meeting that nobody's heard of so far, and nobody will hear of it. We have facilities for buying that makes us, practically, Masters of the Market. But all of this is talk. What is there in it? Be the judge yourself. Come and see how much you can save by buying of us. Embroideries, Laces, Check Piques and Nainsooks, Sateens and Ginghams are the proper things now.
