First class milk shakes at Lowry's, a nickle aglass. If you want your hair clipped in fine shape, call on Mr. F. 0. Miller. He does the work rapidly with a pair of double ac tion mule clippers.

Corwitz Sarsaparilla is the best blood pu rifier. 128 doses for a dollar at Dinkins & Co.'s dr ag store. This morning avery handsome gentleman was seen riding down to the post office in a road cart with a clergyman, and his being in such good company created as much of a sensation as did the arrival to-day of the Fiji Islander, who was recently drummed out of Charleston for frightening the chil dren in one of the city public schools. A well selected stock of clothing, includ ing seersuckers, etc., at Johnson's. E. D). Bamilton is recognized as one of the best barbers in the State. He makes a specialty of shampooing, and after one of his shampoos, which costs only a quarter, one feels at least a dollar's worth better. He gives special attention 'tn shampooing ladies' heads, going to their residences, and after the shampoo, he dries the hair thor oughly to prevent their taking cold. A la dies' shampoo takes about two hours and cots only sixty cents. For la grippe, coughs, colds, etc., use syr up of rock -candy. horehound, and tolu. 5c. a bottle at Dinkins & Co.'s drug store. Messrs. J. Ryttenberg & Sons, of Sumter, realize the importance of the trade from this section, and are out in this issue invit ing the attention of the people to their large and attractive stock of dress good, notions, hats, shoes, clothing, etc. These gentlemen are among the most enterprising and relia ble merchants in that city. Tbey have a large corps of gentlemanly clerks, who take pleasure in exhibiting their goods and in furnishing samples on application by mail or in person. They claim to sell honest goods at honest prices, and give a great va riety to select from, and we have never heard this claim disputed. If you want a cool and refreshing drink goto Lowry's and get a glass of his spark ling soda water. Quite a sensation was created among the colored people last Saturday. A white man by the name of Reddic, who is employed at Harvins' mill, struck a little colored boy, the son of Nathan Nelson. with a beer bot tle, cutting a gash in the boy's head. mak ing an ugly wound. The alleged cause of the striking was that young Nelson struck the child of Mr. Reddie, wbich so incensed the father that he picked up the beer bottle and broke it on the head of the colored boy. Complaint was made to Trial Justice Tim nons, who issued a warrant and had Reddie arrested immediately. Reddic pleaded ,ilty to the charge of assault and battery. nd was sentenced to pay a fine of ten dol ars or to serve twenty days in jail. He paid ie fine. Mr. J. J. Broadway and1 son were in town esterday, visiting Dr. Evans. The son has en under treatment for about four weeks. Shas been an invalid for past five years, afined to the house the most of the time. d had not been away from the house for st five months. Dr. Evans has- brought n right out. in fact it is a remarkable cure. e doctor's success in chronic diseases is nae.a it. Middling cotton is quoted in Charleston atSi. Henry Heitsch, the well known restaura teur of Columbia, died last Friday. Mr. Kalisky requests us to state that his store will be closed next Monday, as he will be in Charleston that day. Dr. Evans visited Sheriff Lesesne profes sionally yesterday, and reports that he is doing as well as possible. Our people are taking hold in earnest of raising ine poultry. Messrs. W. E. Mims and W. B. Murray, of Sumter, tell us they can scarcely fill all the orders they receive and have orders ahead all the time. Prof. Charvons, a converted cannibal from the Fiji Islands, will lecture in in the Insti tute hall next Monday evening. He comes highly recommended. and his lecture is said to be very instructive and entertaining. He lectures to night in the A. M. E. Church. Besides Edmund Holladay there is only one other rilsoner in th. jail. Lizzie Bur gess, a colored Amazon, of Salem, was not able to give a bond to keep the peace, and is languishing in jail. Unless she is able to give the bond, she will spend a year and a day in this house of detention. The spring season is at hand, and so is Mrs. M. 0. Burgess with all the latest styles of ladies', misses', and children's hats and trnimings. Her store is supplied with a nica line of millinery goods, laces, em broideries, edgings. etc. Her many patrons wll find it no trcuble to see her goods. Provisions continue advancing in price. From yesteidav's Charleston quotations we get the followin'g for the best quality of each article: granulated sugar 5; bacon sides 7; lard S.; flour $7.25; corn $1.00. The prob abilitf is that the necessaries of life will continue to rise in price all the summer. Elsewhere will be found a call for the or ganization of a Survivors' County Associa tion of Confederate soldiers. It will take only a day to attend this meeting, and the enjoyment to be derived therefrom will far more than repay for the lost day's time. Let every old soldier in the county attend. May will soon be here, and with it will come the natural desire of the clerks to have the early afternoon closing. Last year the stores were closed at 7 o'clock, but why not lose up this year at G o'clock, thereby giv ing the clerks an extra hour? If all go into this arrangement, it will be a great pleasure to the clerks and at the same time not hurt the trade of the merchants. Confederate Soldiers, Attention! After a conference of anamber of the Confederate soldiers of this county, we have been requested to issue a call for a meeting of the survivors of the soldiers engaged in the late war, to be held in the court house at Manning, the first Monday in May at 12 o'clock, noon. It is desired that all who were in any way engaged in service, wheth er as regular troops or militia, shall respond to this call, and form a Confederate Surviv Drs' Association, with a view of being rep resented at the State Survivors' Association to be organized in Columbia in May, during the Centennial. H. L. BENBow, D. J. Baana. The Manning Guards. At the annual election of officers held in the armory last Monday night the following Dfficers were elected to serve the Manning Quards for the ensuing year: I. L Bagnal-Captain. W. C.

W. Knight. The unanimous vote of the company was east for T. F. Malloy, of Cheiraw, for Lieuten ant-Colonel, and Capt. A. Levi, for Major. To be Hanged Friday. Edmund Holladay, colored, will be hang ed next Friday. Arrangements have been made to have the execution in the jail yard, and only a few persons will be permitted to witness the hanging. A reporter for the TIEs called at the jail yesterday afternoon to interview Hiolladay. He was found in the dungeon, lying on his pallet, and complaining of feeling a little unwell. He showed no disposition to be talkative, and while he answered all ques tions, sometimes after considerable hesita tion, yet he volunteered no information whatever. He says he is sorry he had to shoot Mr. DuBose, but that he was running on him with a knife, and he felt impelled to shoot him in self-defense. He says the preachers have not been to see him overly much, -in all he has had but five or six pastoral visits, but he says he is ready to go when the Mas ter calls, and feels, when he thinks of the hour of his execution, "I will fall right into Christ's arms." He expects, he says, to say a few words next Friday on the scaffold, but had no desire now to make any statement for the press. Edmund Holladay says he is about thirty three years old, was born on Jacks Creek in this county, and has been living near Packs vile for twenty years. He has a wife and six children, the oldest about twvelve years of age. His father and mother are both living. He also has a brother living. None of these have visited him since his sen tence. T'he Feast of Passover. On the eve of the 14th day Nissan, cor responding this year with the 22d day of April, the descendalhts of Abraham celebrate their annual festival, "Pesach," or feast of unleavened bread, in commemoration of their redemption from Egyptian bondage, as is recorded in the Book of Exodus. Un der the requirements of the Mosaic law, all males of a certain age assembled at Jerusa lem to observe this sacred feast, in order that their piety and devotion might be strengthened and their brotherly love in creased. It was upon the recurren'ce of the Pass over and under the inspiration of its glori os associations that Judas Maccabee, the renowned warrior, read to his valiant sons and the assembled thousands the history of the redemption of their ancestors from the thraldom and persecution of the Egyptians, and to this fact may be ascribed the heroic and successful struggles of the gallant As moneans against the powerful legions of Syria and Rome. In that era of strife and bloodshed the celebration of the Passover had a twofold signification- a blending of the religious idea with the civil polity,-in order to restrain the cupidity and ambition of aggressive nationality. Since the de struction of the second temple the celebra tion of th" festival has been and is still ob served as a purely religious holiday. Before the advent of the festival every Jewish house is thoroughly cleansed and purged of every article containing leaven, the use of which is strictly forbidden by the injunction: "Ye shall not have anything in your houses containing leaven." This was not only a sanitary measure, but was also intended to impress the Jewish mind with the loving kindness of~ the Deity, who had delivered their ancestors from mental and corporal slavery. The services of -the household and syna gogue are replete with this narration of the redemption of the people after four hun dred years of fear'ful servitude. The re cital of the miracle performed by Moses, and the chanting of his grand and elo quent epic, "I will simg unto the Lord, for He hath triumphed gloriously, the horse and his rider hath He thrown into the sea," together with the foreshadowing cf the law and the possession of the holy land, arc embodied in the Ritual and household ser vices, and are both solemn and impressive. Old and young of both sexes unite in offer ing the incense of prayer and grateful hom age to God, who had not only condescended to break asunder the chains which had en slaved Israel for centuries, but that He had also chosen to make them "a peculiar peo pe," living witnesses of' His Omnipotence and unity to all mankin.d.-Xew's and Cou Referred to the Grand Jury. E'rron Maxs Tom~rs: -The public road in the Fork of Black River has been reduiy ed in width to one track, or about six feet. The farmer has; appropriated the major part of it by planting it. In some places the bushes cut from the field arc thrown on the small traveling space. T'his is a growing evil, and unless some step is taken at once to check this practice, the roads will cease to eserve the name of public highways. n Office of LEVI BROTHERS, Dealers in General Merchandise. SUMTER, S. C., April 21, 1891. Editor Manning Times:-The sug gestion in your paper to huy sugar while it was cheap was a good one, and if taken advantage of by the people will save them money. We are always on the lookout f:r bargains and do not feel offended whin advice is riven us, so when we saw your sug "estion, we made a contract with some of the largest refiners, and the result was that we were prolited imi I mediately, because no sooner had we signed our contract before the papers were fall abot. a party of nonopolists eiideavor:n to get sugar coriered to frce the pried back to what it was before the tariff was taken of, and to-day sugair is advancing. It is not only so with sugars, but all the necessaries are in the same condition. Mfeats and grain have and are still alvancing, and were it not for the fact that we purchased largely when everything was down, we would be forced to play the advanced prices, and our customers would not enjoy the great advantage over those that trade elsewhere. Every article in the mercantile line is advancing in price, and merchants that have a cash capital are the only ones that were able to lay in a large enough stock to bridge over the pres ent agitated condition of the markets. To convince the people of what we say we extend to them an invitation to come to Sumter to see our spring stock. It is the most complete we have ever handled, and we especially desire our Clarendon friends to exam ine these goods and get our prices before the choice patterns are all se lected. Very respectfully, LEVI BROTHERS. (Governor Tillman Right. Gov. Tilliuan is right, all right, and de cidedly right, in the stand he has taken with Secretary Noble as to the division of South Carolina's share of the National school ap propriation. The Governor has justice and the facts on his side, and presents both to the best advantage in his latest letter to the stubbcrn Secretary of the Interior. -Colum bia Record. PROGRESS.

CHTT LSTOTi ,/T C. A Letter from Tom. SILvEr,. Apr. 17.-I have been on the wing: first to Orangeburg. then to Sumter. The world is moving; the people everywhere look cheerful. La grippe 1:n- cea-ed its depre dations; quiet reigns around all our borders. A beautiful horizon meets our vision, and nothing pesters. Chrendon's chivalrous Citizens dare the pr.spect of a war with Italy. The farmers are kn4e deep in business. The 1ieeer staple, the farm-rs' king, still wields his poveiful scepter. In all proba bility this fall he will reign supreme. Most farmers plant comn paratively small crops of corn. Many too are giving little attention to oats. A umber of our weather prophts predict a heivv drought this year. If .this be the case our farmers are doomed to in evitable ruin. Heavy purchases have been mad&e in fer tilizers. The whole of the h11, the best part of the homuiny, ulantation toils, are all running on eredit. Add ten per cent. to credit prices, and the chaujces are shm in deed. We look through our s1t1s. The lien law is the unwholesome curse, and is a blight to any people, co::stantly making in roads, gnawing at the very vitals of our ptople. destroyng the hope of the most hospitable citizen 1upon the face of the globe. Can the lien law be made to work honestly with our citiz-ns? Is it not a 1oop hole for dishoiestv and fraud? Does not a man have to lay aside conscience to muake money out of it? I heard a genticeman say he could not favor the repeai of the lieu law because it was the only chance to get clear of a blind mule. It destroys lab.r, it enriches a few, causes litigation, trouble, and anxiety no little. I believe that tbc lien law and the houestead laws will be the ruin of South Carolina, and should be r. pealed. Many of your readers may differ with me, but I can give numib.rs of cases where I have examined accoumts where the necessaries of life have been s ld at enor mous prices. I can cite several cases where men have been forced by this cancerous curse to make a full title to their lands. Let the farmers continue to plant il! cotton, fail to raise their corn, buy all their meat, and the entire land will'be filled with poor peasants. But I have been in the wing in Clarendon also. My business for the sheriff, collecting tax executions, has given me wide research, wide experience. Then, acting deputy for Judge Mahoney has learned me more then all my books, b oth of men and business, looking up the darkey for selling crop iu der lien. Poor negro! Cursed lien ! Were it not for Tom, Dick, and Harry who live in the backwoods with a tobacco and liquor li Dense sticking over their door, the county would be better ofE Discriminate in giving credit, and us3 labor contracts, and with the wholesome laws of South Carolina all things will improve. This will be reform. What is to become of the seed cotton li Dense? Will these catch-penny backwoods pioneers respect it? Do they respect the whiskey law? It is still being sold. Can the grand jurors stop this infernal curse in the land ? The whiskey devil! What a mon ter of evil it is ! Silver is permeated with whiskey from Sumter barrooms. There is no little drunkenness among all classes. Would it not be better for the government, better for the State, to let every man sell it? How will this law do, to send every man to the penitentiary who gets drunk? Punish the evil doei, and kill out the licenses. So long as the government licenses whiskey traffic to make money, the whiskey demon will triumph. B. Pressley E rron, Esq., to)k the train at Silver to-day for VTances. The colored congregation have got a first class organ for their church. It gives beau tiful tone and adds much to their services. Mr. R. F. Milligan has renovated his old store and made handsome additions. Col. Averill, the newly appointed general manager of the C. S. & N. Railroad, has taken chargeand was at Silver to-day look ing around. The young men and ladies of Silver on every Wednesday night give an entertain ment to the great delight of the lovers of song. We mourn the death of Rev. Mr. Sale. lHe preached for us till stricken <down with disease. He with a tender hand has been removed from the church militant to the church triumphant. From the first onr lit tle flock respected and loved him. While he ceases to preach Christ and the cross, he doubtless enjoys a crown of life. Dr. A. J. Briggs, of Summerton, is at this time at Silver professionally, egynining candidates for insurance. H. S. Dollard, a prominent young farmer, has bought ot M. Levi the Hodge tract of land, and wvill micve there this fall. Silver dislikes losing Henry, but it will add a good man to that community. A. W. Thames, Jr., is canvassing agent for Henderson & Briggs in the medicine business. A. W. Thames, Sr., has commenced work on his new dwelling. A. C. Briggs is well on the way with his new house. ' omx.

Mallard & Co., of the Mallard Lumber Com pany, of this place, sutfered quite a loss by burglars at their store in Magnolia, last Sat urday night. The thieves broke open the store, and taking the iron safe, placed it on a wagon, which they also stole, and pulled it through the town down to the river road, when they put an ox in the wagon and drove across a field to the swamp. They then broke open the safe and secured be tween S400O and $50t0. The scoundrels burned some of the paper-s, but left the books undisturbed. They also overlooked $35 that was cecosed in an envelope. So far no clue has been obtained to the identi ty of the villians, but it is hoped that in a few days they will be discovered and that justice will be meted out to them. There is danger in impure blood. There is safety in taking Hood's sarsaparilla, the gat blood puritier. 100 doses one dollar. .Y //6 II TAKE YOUR PICK From the very best while you are about it.
