TEE MATNNIN TIEN S. A. NETTLES.. Editor. Ciarendon out of Debt. Clarendon county is now virtually out of debt, and we hope and believe that the small balance yet due will be paid in full before the next session of the Legislature. We have had a "back indebtedness" the past twenty-five years, and it will indeed be refreshing the next year to know that we shall have only the current exp. nses to pay. The tax levy tis year is lower than it has been since the war, and there is no reason whatever why it should not bz still less for next xear. This is the k'nd of reform we like to write about, and the kind the people prefer to hear of. How was it brought aboa: Simply by economical administration. The h--or lies w'ith the representatives in the legislature, the county conii.-ssioncrs, and the auditor. To those, however, who have been watching closcly the administration of county afhirs, it has appeared conspic nously evident that Audaitor Bradhan has been indefatigable in his efforts to get the property of the county ralsed to its approx iately true valuation, to get the taxes reduc ed, and to get the county out of debt. He has been auditor four years, and to him be longs the chief honor for the present state of affairs. Petit Jury.

How often is a family thrown out out of a4 home and upon the charities of the public, simply through neglect to insure the-building. Is your house* insured against loss by! hre? It costs very little, ordinarily for family residences it costs only one dollar for each hundred dollars of property in -- snred, and can any one afford to carry his own risk, when he can insure at so smnall a Ccost? A $500 fire policy on your house ~ will usually cost only $5. S. A. Nettles is now representing some of the best and most -liberal fire insurance companies in the Scountry, and will take pleasure in placing eliXpocies-for the people of this county. To the Teache-rs of Clarenidon. -Fellow Teachers:- Ours is a noble profes-. sn.. Lord Bacon says we owe a debt to ear -profession. What is then our princi Spaldnty in relation to our calling? To Ia ~ or diligently to improve ourselves. Yes, iit is our duty. We not only can, but - ave the time and must cultivate ourselv-es. We should be willing to impart as well as receive good. "Everybody is wiser than nybody," and we should bring our attasin ,-ments into the common stock and difuse as far as able the light we possess.- We amust help and encourage one another. SThis can be done best by social iotc-rcourse'; by having meetings for mtual impl)rotCenOt, ~>thus giving us an op porLtunt to exchang~e thoughts on the dialieuties~ we mect with and the best methods of-u rm"o"tto them. ' You cannot plead as an exense for your Zmistak-es, 'I did it ign.orantl.' You are -illing a place where q.y.ac' is s a su an-~d where indifferoce to th V1 bein: of~ -thers is equivalernt to wifu homi-cid -. It is a duty in'.olved by- your position in life - to improve yourse-lf. Th!is now can be-t -anid only be accomplihed by- ouir Teac-hers' Association, which is pci-cly-'- elpted to the difbision of the best metiods of instruic tion. We gain encouragement an d strength by being thus brought in con:act with one another. Toilitng on alone in your isolated district, surrounded byv obstacles, discour aged, weighted down with care and respon sibility, almost ready to fairnt in your cause, if you attend a m eting you will feel that a1 noble brotherhoood of kindred spirits are1 laboring under the same trials, and will :gather new strength from the sympathy of -our friends. You will be improved intel eculyand morally by this n-i etintg, and encouraed to toil on in faithfulness and in -hope. Is not this enough to str you up . and make you see the necessity of our in -stitute for mutual improvement ? Then at Itend and give us the benenit of your light. -We are the most intelligert class in the world, and to be thus neglectful of our own improvement-God forbid. Don't say, "yes, it is a good thing; I believe in it," -but put your shoulder to the wheel. Come a~ nd either disperse some of your hard at tained knowledge or gather some from the light diffused by others. At the mneeting of the county school commissioners an'1 'em -iners in Columbia, the 3rd of spril, it was Sresolved, that it w.s the sen'.e of that body~ that there s ould be a Teach rs' Institute in -every county in the State. And for the State Board 'of Exaniners to t-'' such .steps a s they deemed advisable for the'. in~ti tutes. The State Board made ai~ imeport:ent change in the rules in regard to grant ng taachers' certinicates. The new fenn of cer tificate will show in addition to --ir expe rience as a teacher your attenden'e on 'leach ers' Instittes, credit being given for this valuable factor in a teacher's usefuln.-s. A credit of 10 points is allowed for each -year's attendance upon a Teachers' Institgute -State or county up to ten years. Notice this last particularly and attend your Teachers' Association at its next meeting. -A twofold reward for your attendance-li0 -points in standing examinations for your certificates, and intellectual knowvledge gained. Will you resolve to attend ? S. M. CLARKSON, Pres. Clarendon Co. Teachers' Ass'n. May 9th, 1891.

This gentleman was treated for years by eminent specialists, and the Brown-Sequard remedy was tried. He states he had spent upwards of seven thousand dollars with the most eminent physicians, and otherwise, but without the least benefit. He bade his :>ld comrades in arms an affectionate fare well more than a year ago, and yet, here is what he writes under a fresh date. Could anything be more wonderful? GxmarL ~:-I was in a very bad fix. I was bedridden. Kidneys disordered, di gestion torpid. arm helpless with rheuma tism and blood poison (the effect of a wound rceived during the war) and full of that oious disease catarih. The doctors said I woull not livc and quit giving me medicine, as it did no good. I have since used noth irng but Grernietuer. Mv lidneys are well, uv dijes4ion -:ood, lily palsie'd arm is well, y&i- caLarrh removed, and my general health is excellent. I W. AVERY. Colonel Avery was for several years editor of the Atlanta Constitution, and his vigor ous and versatile editorials gave that sheet a vivacity which won for him an enduring reputation as a first-classs journalist. For many years he was Ex-Governor and Sena tor Colquitt's secretary, later, h_ charge of the U. S. treasury department, and is to-day a proud, living monument t- the virtues of that great healing and life-giving elixir, Dr. King's Royal Germetuer. Do not class it wiih other proprietary emedies. It is so far beyond all of' them in its beautiful proportions and accurate analy sis of all that cons'itutes a real germ destroyer nd a health giving compound, that all other so-alled remedies for the diseases which it vill cure must take a back scat to give 'the highway to this great and wonderful reme y for human health and happiness.

STARKEY & PALEN'S Treatment by Inhalation. 1529 Arch St., Philadelphia, Pa, For Consunption, Ashunam, Bronchitis, Dyspep sia, Catarrt, IRay 1rer, eadachte. Debility, Rihumati'sm, IKeuralgia, and all Chronic and Kercous Disorders. The original and only genuine Compound Oxygen Treatment, that of Drs. Starkey & Palen, is a scientific adjustment of the ele ments of Oxygen and Nitrogen magnetized; and the compound is so condensed and made portable that it is sent all over the world. It has been i3 use for more than twenty years; thousands of patients have been treat ed, and over one thcusand physicians have used it, and recomwend it-a very siguili cant fact. It does not act as most drugs do, by cre ating arother ailment, and benefitting one organ at the expense of another, often re quiring a second conrse to eradicate the evil effects of the first, but Compound Oxygen is a revita!.izer, renewing, strengthening, in vigorating the whole body. These statements are confirmed by nu merous testimonials, published in our book of 200 pages, only with the express permis sion of the patients; their names and ad dresses are given, and you can refer to them for further information. The great success of our Treatment has given rise to a host of imitators, unsernpu lous persons; some calling their prepara tions Compound Oxygen, often appropriat ing our testimonials and the names of our, patients, to recommend worthless concoc-) tions. But any sibstance made elsewhere or by others, and called Compound Oxygen, is spurious. ",Gmyound Oxygen-Is Mode of Action and Results," is the title of a new book of 200 pages, published by Drs. Starkey & Palen, which gives to all inquirers full information as to this remarkable curative agent, and a record of surprising cures in a wide range of chronic cases-many of them after being abandoned to die by other physicians. Will be mailed free to any address on application. Drs. STARKEY & PALEN, 1529 Arch St., Philadelphia, Pa. 120 Sutter St., San Francisco, Cal. SUNNYSIDE POULTRY YARDS. Eggs for Setting.

VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF LIFE. -__ :o- :0: :0: Why is it that the tendency of all the great commercial establishments of the country si to VARIETY? Is it not because experience has proven the wisdom of the plan? The advantages of both buyer and seller are plain. To the merchant, be cause, 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 customer, 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 SELL AT SHORTER 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.
