THE MANNING TIMES. Mann-nEg, s. C% S. A. NETTLES., Editor. FARMERS' Pilot,-.Ll0 . This is an off vear in wolitics, and the farmers can now meet and diR cuss matters pertaining to their ma terial welfare, without raising a howl from the professional politicians. A series of meetings has been arranged for the different alliances in this coun ty, and every member should make a special effort to attend these meet ings. Measures of importance will be discussed, and everything will tend to yield the greatest good. Our farm ers need a special organization, where by they may meet together, plan to gether, and in every way work for their common prosperity. The crops of the past two years have been unusually fine, and our farmers have made more money than ever before. They have got their money at a.much lower rate of inter est, and their provisions and other goods have been purchased at greatly reduced prices. Everything has been favorable, and we can see on every side an increased spirit of pride and independence. The farmer is again beginning to feel as if he is a free man, the peer of any one. One principle, however, must be more deeply impressed on our people. It is one of the leading principles of the alliance. Be economical, and live within your income. The alliance teach es great cardinal virtues: truth, hon esty, economy-principles that go largely towards making good citizens. Buy only what you know you can pay br; plant only what you know you can advantageously cultivate; be sure to raise corn and bacon and hay and molasses enough to last you during the year, and a good margin to spare; let the cotton c op represent the profit, and never let it be used for buying such stuff as can be raised on the farm: then will the importance of the farmer, politically, socially, and relig iously, be increased and extended un til no class or clique shall outrank them, for as they grow in wealth and independence,-they will seek after ed ucation and all accompanying accom plishments, and their influence will be proportionately increased. And should the crops be bad this Tear, we can, nevertheless, survive it. It may mean that we shall have to wear the same suit another year, or to cut of some of the luxuries of the table, but we will know that a bright future is ahead, and that pluck and perseverance in this happy and luxu riant sunny land of ours will come out victorious in the end. The great secret of success is in ,economy, in taking care of the little things. It is not what one makes that '.rings wealth, but what he saves. Important Information. EDITOR MANxIXa Tmps:-Col. Jas. G. Gibbes, of Columbia, has, as agent for the State, discovered in many of -the counties a great deal of land, ilandoned or unclaimed by any cne, lands that have for years not been on the tax books. It is to the interest of -every taxpayer that all lands in the State contribute its share to the ex penses of the State, and will not leave .a portion to pay for all. Now, many such tracts are known of by persons living near them, who in many in stances 'would like to purchase and own them, but do not know how to secure or acquire title to them. To such persons we would say correspond 'with Col. Gibbes about them, and he 'will show how they can be secured on very reasonable terms. We learn that not less than 150,000 acres have been added~to the tax books in the last year in the counties of Berkley, Chireston, and Colleton alone. Wi] lmsburg, Georgetown, Clarendon, ~and Beaufort are said to - contain ful Sly that much of such land, and some is' found in nearly all the counties. ~Col. Gibbes has started and pushed successfully this discovery of lands -and done much good for the State end the people. New let those who 'want cheap lands help him. Any bow we advise them to write himi and enqire about them. G. Price of Whiskey. "The cost of the liquor traffic to -the people of the States in money is over $300,000,000." This is the small est item of cost there is. It costs the American wives and mothers oceans of tears. It costs our social circles its brightest minds, and our politics its most honored statesmen. It costs heaven thousands of souls. It costs courts three fourths of all their ex penses. It costs our national State government thousands of dollars that are squandered through bribes. Congressman Spinola, of New York, died yesterday morning. The widow of "Stonewall" Jackson is in New York as the guest of the Rev. Dr. Hen ry M. Field, and before her return home will complete the arrangements for the pub lication of her biography of her illustrious husband. Speaker Tom Reed is touring in Italy. If the Italians will seek him out to avenge the lynching of their countrymen at New Orleans, it would be the best and easiest way to settle the question now pending be tween the two governments. The Democrats have carried Rhode Island and the Republicans have got the offices. That is the result of the election of Wed nesday in a nutshell. The 1,200 Democrat ic plurality is nullified because Rhode Is land, in common with Connecticut and New Hampshire, clings to the antiquated rule that DO election follows if no candidate or set of candidates receive a majority of all the votes. Georgetown is again to have a gala week. The State Press Association will meet there the last week in this month, and a monument to the Confederate dead will be unveiled on the 30th. Excursion rates will be had to that old town, and it would be a nice trip for anyone to make. It is expect. ed that an excursion train will make the round trip on the 30th. Gov. Tillman, Genm. Moise, and a number of other distin guished gentlemen have been invited to be present. A $1,000,000 fire occurred in Chicago Sun day night. When the fire broke out Dr. J. Z. Bergerson was attending awoman patient in a flat in one of the buildings subse uently burned. When the fire got toc ose D. Bergerson seized the suffering wo man and wrapping her in blankets, de scended three fiights of stairs with his bur den and carried her to a refuge near by. In less than fifteen minutes a fine girl baby was born amid the crash of falling walls and hoarse shouts of the firemen. Both mothei BUSINESS IN CHARLESTON.

The clock had just struck 11, and was ticking away in a discouraged manner on the next hour, but young Fitzmauriee de Bang had not gone. The young lady was gazing dream ily at him, or rather through him, and his heart stirred with a vague, nebu lous rapture. "Aw-MIiss Laura," he said tender ly, "may I awsk you what you are looking at ?" "Nothing," she murmured, and her pensive, dreamy gaze still seemed to rest on the young man. Fitzmnaurice de Bang sat in thought ful silence for nearly ten minutes. Then a light appeared to dawn by degrees on his mind. He reached me chanically for his hat, rose in a pre occupied way, moved abstractedly to ward the door, went slowly out, and she never saw him again. No Chance for Them.

[From the Sumter Alvanoe.). Centry Butler and Ilampton Nelson paid the penalty of their crime, the killing of Capt. John Maxcy, yesterdlay. Sheriff Carson, deputies, witnesses, and the prss went to the jail at 10 (o'ock. and f eveiything in readiness for the e'-en t: an.

Hundltv aLso wiAnessed the execution. Rev. V. W. Mood and Ruv. J. B. Midlle ton pravd with the prisoner- who seemed to realize that their end was near. (otrv Butler seemed willing to die and said that he was prepared to meet his God. "1 will be gone in a few hours;" "Will be with my Jesus;" "Have asked him to forgive vie for all I have tione, and I'm going to Hiaoven." H ampton NvIson protested to the lAt that he hai nolthing to do with the killing. At to.30 SheritfCarson told them that time was up. and that thev must proceed to the gallows. The prisoners marched with firm st: ps, accompanied by the ministers, sheriff, and deputies, to the spot where the scaffod had.been erected. The construrtion of the gallows was very simple, being made of two uprights, with trap doors hung by hinges, with a post to hold doors up until the trap was sprung. The scaffold was erected un der a shed in the rear of the jail. While on the way to the gallows the pris oners repeated with Rev. Middleton, "Into thy hands, oh. Lord, I commend my spirit," and "Lord Jesus receive my spirit." OX THE SCAFFOLD Hampton said, "I did not kill Capt. Max cy, for I was at my house with a sick child." Centry said, "Thanks be to God I am pre pared to meet all faithful brethren." Both were very cool and collected, and did not show the least agitation, only while Centry was singing "My soul has been re deemed," his eyes filled with tears. He thanked the jailer and ministers for the at tention shown him. At this juncture Chief of Police Weeks pinioned their legs and Sheriff Carson adjusted the ropes, while the prisoners muttered "Into thy hands, 0, Lord, I commend my spirit." At thirteen minutes to 11 o'clock Sheriff Carson pulled the rope that held the post, and Centry Butler and Hampton Nelson were dashed INTO ETERNITY. Dr. J. A. Mood examined the bodies and pronounced life extinct after 11 minutes. After hanging until 11.13 the bodies were lowered and placed in pine coffins for inter ment at the poor house. The friends of the' criminals refused to take their bodies. Large crowds assembled at an early hour aroun d the jail, but the execution vAs strict ly private. Sheriff Carson deserves credit for the manner in which the execution was conducted. nISTOY or THE CRiIME. Capt. John Maxcy was in Snwamter on Mon day, the 19th of January. He was alone in his one-horse spring wagon. About half past one o'clock on that fatal night, his wife and son were aroused by a noise in the yard, and on going out they found the wag on overturned a few steps from the back door, tbe horse not far off, and Capt. Iraxev lying with his face to the earib, covered with blood, and in an unconscious condi "ion. Then no th-ought of murder entcred he mna~ of those present, hut they' sup pon tiat, Capt. Maxeywas injured when the uwa' n ov erturn ed .' ewas carried into hi- hi me. and . evry 1 1 'e atteatio gin en.im, bn .io'ut 5 o'e'oeka in the mornning he died without ha-ving regained conscious ness. Then "ot marks~ were discovered on his faice and head, and the fact that he had died at the hands of a murderer was evntent. It was not long before quite a crowd of thne neighbors had gathered. who set themselves to work to solve the mystery of his death. From previous circumstances, and from the actions of Centry Butler and Hampton Nel son at the time, suspicion pointed strongly to them and they were arrested. The gen tenmen present finding the wagon floor cov ered with blood they trailed it back about two and a half miles down thc road. At this point which is at the foot of a long hill and where a small stream crosses the road signs were discovered which indicated that Capt. Maxcy was shot there. Near the road was a pine tree from which the road could be seen for a considerable distance each way. At the foot of this tree there were fdot prints. Near by was an uprooted tree, and on the clay which covered the roots was an imprint of a gun, and near it were foot tracks. These tracks fitted Centry Butler's foot exactly. Other evidences were also dis covered in Butler's house which seemed to fasten the crime upon him beyond question. Excitement ran high, and there was such a demonstration of popular indignation in the neighborhood that these negroes would doubtless have been lynched had it not been for the timely arrival of the she'riti' The negroes were lodged in the Sumter jail, and, acting on his own judgment and under or ders from the governor, the sheriff did not carry the prisoners back into the neighbor hood to appear at the inquest on account of the danger of their being lynched, of which threats had been made. In the jail each of the negroes made a confession to the sheriff, admitting his con netion with the murder, and each accusing the other of doing the killing. They met by appointment at the corner of Mr. R1. C. Rember~ts field near the spot between nine and ten o'clock, and as Capt. Maxcy was passing by he was fired upon. He fell back wards in his wagon, and his horse carried him on home in that dying condition. At the March term of the court Butler and Nel son were tried, convicted, and sentenced by Judge Aldrich to be hung on the 10th of April. 'EOTIvE OF THE iURDEI. Butler and yelson were both laborers on Capt. Maxcy's place, and he had at different times had c'nsiderable trouble with them. Butler was under contract to w.crk to pay for damanges done to one of Cailt. Maxcy's horses. T1his was galling to him.. It seems that Nelson was anxious also to free himself from the bondage of his contract. They ac cordingly agreed to kill Capt. Maxey in or der to keep from having to serve out their contracts. That was the motive which prompted the murder. Andrew Spann, another negro w.as also arrested as an acces sory to the murder. but wvas not tried, and is still in jail. The confessions made by Butler and Nelson did not implicate him. Ever since sentence of death wvas pro nounced upon these negroes, Rev. WV. W. Mood, a uwell-known minister of the Meth odist church, has visited them daily, and has most faithfully ministered to and labor ed with them. The people of their own race have shown little or no interest in thm.. Since the e bov'e has been in type we un derstand that 1Rev. J. B. Middleton and R1ev. T. 'T. B.

VA4RIETY SPICE OF LIFE. - :0: :0: :0: . Why is it that the tendency of all the great commercial establishments of the country is to VARIETY ? Is it not because experi ence has proven the wisdom of the plan? The advantages of both buyer and seller are plain. To the merchant, be canse, whatever the condition of trade, having a varied and extensive stock, he is able to do some business. When a salesman is not selling a suit of clothes or a pair of shoes, he can be selling a hat, a dress pattern, or some other article. To the custamer, whose time is often limited, because he can find what he wants at one place, without having to look the town over for it. And because the variety and extent of the stock enables the merchant to SEIDLL A.T SI-OR.T]ER PROFITS than if he dealt in one line exclusively. The salesmen who have charge of the separate departments of our store, and who are familiar with the wants of the trade, have assisted in the selection of each line, and we are confident that we can show you a larger, more varied, and better selected stock of goods than has ever been displayed in the town of Manning. Our RES OOD AND ILLINER EPARTMEN RES OOD AND ILLINER EPARTMEN* RES OOD AND ILLINER EPARTMEN RES OOD AND ILLINER EPARTMEN - RES OOD AND M ILLINER D EPARTMENT will be complete in every line. We have given unusual care to the selection of this stock, and we can assure our lady friends that it will be to their interest to examine our stock before purchasing. We have Cashmeres, Ginghams, Satines, Batiste, Chal lies Lawns, Muslins, Embroidered Suitings, Outings, and all the latest novelties and shades in the Dry Goods line. Also an elegant line of trimmed and untrimmed Ladies' Hats, which are of the very latest styles. Embroideries, Edgings, Flouncings, and Laces of every design. Our SHOE DEPARTMENT is filled with a larger and more varied stock than ever kept by us before, embracing all styles and prices, from the cheapest brg an to the finest hand-sewed calf and kangaroo shoes. A ladies' shoe for $1.50 with a guarantee, also a magnificent line of, spring heel children's shoes.
