Lightning struck a tree in Post Master Stewart's yard last Monday af ternoon. The only thing more uncertain than the weather is the verdict of a petit jury. A man who puts too much cereal extract down his throat is sure to go with a rye face. The man in life who always gets turned down is the fellow who waits for something to turn up. The ladies of the Baptist church had another one of their successful ice cream festivals last Friday night. At Rigbv's will be found a full line of black, tan, and perforated leather belts, in the newest styles. Education is all right, just so it does not leave the victim too smart to work and not smart enough to get' along without work. Plain silk gloves and mits, kid and Jersey glov-es, in all styles and shades, at Rigby's. The dudes and the dogs both wear big collars at this season.

Childers, of Pinewood, and Miss Clara Stukes, of.Packsville, were married at the Methodist -par sonage in Sumter, Friday, June 26th, Rev. A. J. Stokes officiating. Tourists preparing to go to the mountains -will do well to call at Rigby's and buy such .dresses and Sxtures as they may need, as he is closing out the remainder of his spring tock at very low figures. Louis M. Jones, aged seventy-four years, died June 2d, last, at his resi dence near Panola. Mr. Jones was a member of the Methodist church, and was burietd at Andrews chapel For la grippe, coughs, colds, etc., use syr up of rock candy, horehound, and tolu. 5c. a bottle at Dinkins & Co.'s drug store.

He waived a preliminary examination and gave bond for his appearance at the fall term of court. A magnificent line of ladies' slippers at M. Levi's. There is a law on the statute books prohibiting the sale of cigarettes to minors. Last Saturday a certain mnerchant of this town is alleged to hbave sold a package to a boy, and the mnatter was jestingly reported to the trial justice. The justice humoring the joke sent the sheriff for the mer chant with a request that he should at once appear at his office. The mer chant complied, and without waiting to undergo the formality of a trial ac knowledged having sold the cigarettes. As soon as this acknowledgement was made the merchant was informed that the punishment would be ten dollars or thirty days, which had the effect of causing the perspiration to roll down the merchant's forehead in huge drops, but at last when he was told that the whole thing was a joke he broke out* of the office muttering something very mhatie. The county alliance meets here to morrow. The future tense of the saloon sit ter is sot. Women ar- now allowed in Illinoi to vote for school officers. The merchants of this place ar busy taking their inventories. Water melons have made their all pearan:-e this week at a quarte apiece. Several good paying industrie could be started in this town if mon eyed men would only see it. The veterans of the Sprott Guar< will find a very interesting letter fron Capt. D. J Bradham in this issue. A cotton house belonging to Mr David Shorter was demolished by i tree falling on it yesterday during v wind storm. M. Kalisky expects to move his stoel of goods next week into the Fursten berg store, while his present store i undergoing rep-irs. Most men to whom the world oweE a living are so lazy that they neglect to ask for a judgment until after the account has been outlawed. A rattlesnake was killed yesterday near Bear creek on the Central rail road by Boston Thompson, a section hand. The snake had fifteen rattles and a button. One day last week 'r. Flowers threw off his coat to do some work in his shop, and while at work some one relieved the inside pocket of his coat of one hundred dollars.

Angry looking clouds hung over Manning yesterday afternoon and with them came a severe rain and thunder storm, which lasted but a short time, doing no damage of any consequence in town, but -in some sections trees and fences were blown down and crops badly injured. At some points the trees in the roads were so thick as to make traveling with vehicles almost impossible. Gentlemen, Don't Read This!

Editor Manning Times :-The season s at hand for people to make pre parations to take their summer vaca ions to the mountains and sea sides, and in order that we might be able o furnish our customers with the necessary clothing, we have laid in a special stock to which we call at ention. Our summer suitings for ladies' dresses are very stylish and pretty. We offer then at such prices as annot be duplicated elsewhere. Then we have all kinds of trunks and valises which we also sell cheap. Our clothing and gent's furnishing stock has received great care in its election, and we will sell a gentle man's outfit as cheap as he can buy it in any city in the State. Now is a fine time to secure bara gains in all our various departments, all summer goods will be sold regard less of profit. They must be sold to make room for the immense fall stock that we are now making our contracts for. We have~ reduced the prices early this season because we have a large stock, and we do not want a piece of summer goods in the house when our fall goods commence com ing in.

Crops of corn and cotton are exceptionally fine. General Green has succumed to the inevitable stroke of master generalship. The farmers are happy waiting for an abundant harvest. A short stay with the Orangeburg ans this week gave me considerable chat. They are a live people. I found considerable excitement over the proposed new county. The new county will be fought to the bitter end. I found there the "peoples' party" has some advocates. You are mistaken when you say it is not thought of in Clarendon. It is going to give much concern when more fully understood. It is being agitated and in all probability will become an important factor in our body politic. Mr. Arthur Felder has left Silver and gone into business at Eutawville. Miss Loyal, of Charleston, is visit ing the family of Mr. L. T. Des Champs. The Silver Sunday-school, one of the most prosperous in the county, elected delegates to-day to meet with the county Sunday-school convention on August 28th and 29th. Delegates: T. A. Way, D. F. Mahoney, and W. P. Rowell. Little May Rowell, one of the sweetest little babies-one of the most charming little pets of Silver, has a remarkable history. She has seven first cousins, nine aunts, seven, uncles, twelve grand aunts, eleven grand uncles, two great grand aunts, two great grand uncles, both great grand parents on mother's side, and grand parents on both sides, and pa rents all living. The above is an ex ception among hundreds, who can see their fourth generation living. Mrs. Rowell, little May's mother, is the daughter of Capt. DuPont, and the grand daughter of our worthy and esteemed friend, Capt. William Cos krey. Little May was one year old June 15th, 1891. TON. - - -- "~--b The C. S. & N. Railroad. The work upon the C. S. & N. railroad be tween Darlington and Bennettsville is be ing pushed forwird rapidly. The track ex tending north from Darlington will be con nected with the one extending south from Bennettsrville about the List of this week and the line will then be completed. Trains will be running from Charleston to Ben nettsville by the middle of July and about the first of August a through train will be run over the Charleston, Sumter. & North ern, and Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley rail roads, from Charleston to Greensboro, North Carolina, which will there connect with the Richmond & Danville train for New York. There will be three stations between here and Bennettsville. The first, situated on the line between the "Round 0" plantation and Mr. E. M. Williamson's place, about eight miles from Darlington, will be named Mont Clare, after Mr. E. M. Williamson's plantation. The next station, a few miles beyond, will be Robbin's Neck. The third station will he across the river an-1 will be named Mande ville, after the old Keitt plaice. The station at Robin's Neck will only be a flag station the train stopping there on signals-while the other two will be regular stations.-Dar linigton .Yeres. That tired feeling now so often heard of, is entirely overcome by Hood's Sarsaparilla, which gives mental and bodily strength. Festival at Summerton. Fun for the old and young. Come one, come all, to the ladies concert to be given at Summerton on the even ing of the 15th July. The programme has been carefully prepared, and much that is enjoyable may be expected. Doors to concert will open promptly at 8 o'clock. Re freshments will be served from 0.30 o'clock until close of concert. A special train will leave Wilsons at 5.30 o'clock and arrive at 7 o'clock. The ladies of Summerton are in this way giving their efforts to the Baptist church to aid them in build ing a parsonage. It is hoped that a liberal public will give them a liberal patronage in their noble work. SU3DIERTON LADIEs.

Clifford, New Cassel, Wis., was troub led with neuralgia and rheumatism, his stomach was disordered, his liver was affet ed to an alarming degree, appetite fell away, and he was terribaly reduced in fiesh and strength. Three bottles of Electric Bitters cured him. Edward Shepherd, Harrisburg, ll., had a running sore on his leg of eight years, stand ing. Used three bottles of Electric Bitters and seven boxes of Bucklen's iarnica salve, and his leg is sound and well. .John Speak. er, Catawba, 0., had five large fever sores on his leg, doctors said lie was inacuraible'.

A beautiful line of parasols and fans at Moes evi's. FOR OVER FIFTY YEARS. It has been said that skilful adver tising will accomplish wonders, and this is partly true, for it is no uncom mon thing to see various nostrums achieve a brief notoriety in this way. But they do not out-last the notices that herald them. Thus it is that the mercurial and potash remedies are constantly appearing before the pub lic in new disguises. Advertising, however, will not account for the pop ularity that S. S. S. bas enjoyed for fifty years, nor for the fact that it has become a household remedy; nor will advertising account for the thou sands of testimonials that the people have given in its behalf. Only the most substantial merit can account for the estimation in which this wonderful medicine is held. She Knew Her. Elsie--Yes, dear, my husband is a doctor and a lovely fellow, but he is awfull v absent minded. Ada--Indeed! Elsie-Only fancy! During the marriage ceremony, when he gave me the ring, he felt my pulse and asked me to put out my tongue. Ada-Well, he won't do the latter again. OTR OLD FIRE COMPANY. "That was a gay old company that we be longed to, Joe, away back in '68, when you and I '.an with the machine.' Do you re member that big fire in Hotel Row, one freezing night, when fifteen people were pulled out of their burning rooms and came down the ladder in their night-clothes; and how 'Dick' Greene brought down two 'kids' at once-one in his arms, the other slung to his back? Poor 'Dick'! He got the catarrh dreadfully, from so much exposure, and suffered from it five years or more. We thought oncelhe was going into consumption, sure. But, finally, he heard of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, and tried it, and it cured him up as sound as a flint. I tell you, Joe. that catarrh remedy is a great thing. It saved as good a man and as brave a fireman as ever trod shoe leather." No matter what may be the ills you bear from indigestion, a dose of Ayer's Cathartic Pills will case you without question. Just try them once and be assured; they have much worse dyspeptics cured. You will find them nice and amply worth the price.
