Editor Manning Times:-We are
constantly receiving encouraging re
ports from the people of Clarendon
-to our invitations to visit our store,
and a visit means the purchase ofa
iill of goods. Our stock is comnplete
With everything and our prices can
mot be beaten, therefore, we can safe
ly say that the people have found oun
where they can get the most goods
for the least money, by making om~
store their trading head-quarters.
At this season of the year it is usu
aly dull but as yet we have felt littki
change as far as our sales are con
cerned, because we keep what the
people want, and use printer's ink it
first-class journals to inform the read

cheap we can sell.

A Western Judge Turned Banker
In a town up North an ER-Judge
is cashier of a bank. One day re
cently he refused to cash a check of
fered bv a stranger.
"The check is all right," he said~
"but the evidence you offer in identi
fying yourself as the person to whos
order it is drawn is scarcely suiff
,cient."
"I've known you to hang a man oa
less evidence, Judge," was the stran
ger's responSe.
"Quite likely," replied the El
Judge, "but when it comes to lettini
go of cold csh we have to be car

An Ice House in Manning.
Messrs. Sires & Chandler have an ice
house in c anection with their furniture

large quantity of ice. They sell as low as
can be had any where, and are always pre.
pared to fill orders of any size. Persons

Sheriff D. J. Bradham.
Capt. D. J. BradLam was last Monday ap
pointed sheriff of Clarendon county, to fill
the unexpired term caused by the death of
Sheriff Lesesne.
Governor Tillman referred the matter to
the legislative delegation and the chairman
of the county Democracy. These gentle
men met in the court house last Saturday,
and, after thoroughly canvassing the situa
tion, Capt. D. J. Bradham was endorsed by
Senator L. H. DesChamps, Representative
J. M. Richardson, and County Chairman
S. A. Nettles.
Dr. Woods favored the appointment of
Mr. J. H. Lesesne, and withdrew from the
meeting before the recommendation of Capt.
Bradham was signed by the other three
gentlemen.
Several petitions were circulated by the
friends of Mr. J. H. Lesesne, and the num
ber of names to these petitions is an agree
able compliment to Mr. Lesesne.
The appointment of Capt. Bradham is a
meritorious recognition of his active work
in behalf of the Democratic party.
There is now a vacancy in the auditor's
office, which will be dilled upon the recom
mendation of the legislative delegation.
Capt. Bradham has made decidedly the
best auditor Clarendon has ever had, and
we doubt if he had his superior in the State.
This is an important office, probably the
most important in the county, and we hope
the delegation will exercise great prudence
in making their recommendation for his suc
cessor.
Talking of patent medicines-you know
the old prejudice. And the dqctors-some
of them are between you and us. They
would like yo" to think that what's cured
thousands won t cure you. You'd believe
in patent medicines if they didn't profess
to cure everythin-and so, between the ex
periment of doctors, and the expe 'i nents
of patent medicines that are sold only be
cause there's money in the "stuff,' you lose
faith in everythinig.
And, you can't always tell the prescrip
tion that cures by what ypu read in the pa
pers. So, perhaps, there's no better way to
sell a remedy, than to tell the truth about it.
and take the risk of its doing just what it
professes to do.
That's what the World's Dispencary Med.
ical Association, of Buffalo, K. Y., does
with Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
and Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
If they don't do what their makers say
they'll do-you get your money back.
Ye Old Folke's Concerte at Sunmmerton.
For some days our town and vicinity
have been in a flutter of excitement over
the anticipation of a rare treat in the way
of a concert after the fashion of "ye olden
Itimes," and early on Tuesday, the 5th inst.,
all eyes turned to the cast to catch the first
ray of the rising sun, to see if the promise
was for fair weather or no; and as the sun
rose clear and brilliant many hearts leaped
for joy, but, alas for man's calculationse,
how often they go awry. And thus it was
that just after the middle of the day dark
clouds arose and a heavy rainfall was the
consequence, with a considerable fall in the
thermometer. The more timid were there
by kept away, but those who ventured out
to the concert were fully repaid.
On entering the hall the profuse and
beautiful decorations drew forth many ex
ebmations of delight, and the scene, with a
little draft on our imaginations, transport
ed, us from this mundane sphere to the
realms of the fairy.
Shortly after the time announced for the
entertainment to begin the curtain slowly
rolled away, the concert began, and for two
hours our people were delightfully enter
tained by a choice and varied program of
vocal and instrumental music, recitations,
etc. The choruses were all excellent selec
tions, and were rendered in that excellent
style that showed not only exact and care
ful training but considerable talent in that
line.
'The vocal solos rendered by Mrs. S. R.
Cole and Mrs. Rt. R. Briggs were exceeding
ly fine, and in no wise detracted frcm the
reputation these ladies enjoy as sweet sing
ers.
Kian Stebbins's talk with the brakeman,
a humorous recitation rendered by Mr. J. J.
Cantey in his usual happy style, was receiv
Ied with considerable applause and our
Baptist, Preebyterian, and afethodi -1
friends were all kept busy laughing at thE
discomforture of that other church and
dodging the hints received by their creed.
Our young drummer friend, Mr. Algers,
of Baltimore, added very much to the even
ing's enjoyment by his humorous recitations
and very excellent imitations.
The instrumental solos by Miss Sarah
Smyth and Rev. Mr. Ayers excellent as was
also the duet by Misses Anna Burgess and
Georgia Ingram. And now we would like
to tell your readers something about cousit
Jedidiah, and of how Miss Maria Brock im
personated the matron as she related to hei
household the expected arrival of cousir
Jedidiah from Bosting, that we have laughed
over that piece until the very last hutton
has departed from our wearing apparel,
and the close union that has existed be
tween pants and suspenders is no more,
for the last button is gone and these twc
friends are gradually drifting away fron:
each other,-the suspenders drawing up
ward while the pants incline downward
and we fear unless some remedy be shortl:
discovered irreparable misfortune will be
fall us.. .
After the concert was over wve repairc
to the lawn and there feasted upon the
most delightful of ice cream, strawberries
cake, etc.
All in all the concert was a grand success
and the evening is one long to be rememn
beed by our people. vIsTOr.

SIvERa, May 12.-The momentous topic

in this old land yet, all that is necessary is
to sharpen up the appetite, pick your flint,
and go ahead. The picnic given by the

day was all to satisfy the most fastidious.
The most charmirg young ladies graced
the occassion.
There will be given on Friday, the 22nd,
by the Andrew Chapel Sunday-school a
gand picnic at Fiudd's Mill.
On Saturday the 23rd, Silver likewise

From Bad to Worse.
The ordinary treatment of conta
gious blood poisoning is to dive one
poison from the system by introduc
ing another. The result. in most
> cases, has been that which usually
follows a leap from the frying-pan in
to the fire. To put it mildly, mercu
rial and other mineral poisonings
have disadvantages which are hardly
less serious than contagious blood
poison. Iu either case the system is
i wrecked; and yet there is no reason
why humanity should continue to suf
fer. It is the office of S. S. S. to cure
contagious blood poisoning. For
that diseape the medicine is surely a
specific. And it is also its office to
cure imercurial and other mineral
poisoning. In short, S. S. S. is the
14reat blood purifier. It destroys the
"erms of the contagious disease, and
expels from the system all form of
mineral poisoning It restores health
I and strength to the sufferer.

New Depot for Foreston.
Fonr-rSTON, May 12.-Our town yesterday
morning was thrown into a conunotion, it
having been reported that the Atlantic
Coast Line would have a corps of engineers
here to locate a site for a depot. I think
anout all the inhabitants were out to wit
ness the great event, and true to reports at
a given signal i big fat man with tape line,
hatchet, and stakes, with a full force of as
sistants, and to the great joy of all pre:;ent,
drove down the stakes and inspired the
crowd with the hope that very soon a larger
force of men would commence the long
needed and looked for depot. When they
are ready to lay the corner stone, which will
be clone by the citizens generally, the editor
of the TimEs will have due notice and we
hope he will honor the occasion with his
presence.
Our farmers are all moving ahead, each
one trying to excel the other. They are all
out of the grass but needing rain.
The Sunday-sehool of the Methodist
church .vill celebrate Children's Day next
Sunday with appropriate exercises, to which
all friends of the cause are cordially invited
and especially the editor and his lady.
P. O.
DEAFNESS CAN'T BE CURED
by local application, as they can not reach
the diseased poi nion of the air. There is
only one way to cure Deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor
mal conlition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed
coniition of the mucus surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by Catarrh)
that we cannot cure by taking Hall's Ca
tarrh cure. Send for circulars, free.
