"Adamant" is said to have no su perior for plastering. See advertise ment. 41,153,000 cigarettes were manu factured in Virginia during the month of February. There is a good demand for dwel ling houses in Manning, with the sup ply exhausted. Last Saturday the town was flooded with watermelons, and they ware sold at good prices. "To what base uses may we come, remarked the slipper, after taking part in a castigation. Mr. D. 31. Bradham has torn down his old gin house, and is replacing it with a much larger one. A sermon will be preached in the Baptist church next Sunday mornig on the unpardonable sin. Died on the 14th inst.. at his home near Summerton, Mr. Charles C. Ra gin, aged sixty-six years. Mr. Charles A. Bradham's wife died after a short illness last Wednesday near Silver, aged about twenty-five years. There will be a dime enteriainment to-morrow (Thursday) evening at Mrs. F. N. Wilson's. Everybody is iravited. The crop outlook in this county is fine, and unless there comes a great back-set the cotton crop will be one of the finest since the war. The metal in a five-cent nickel is worth about half a cent, and fifteen cents will purchase copper enough to make twvo dollars worth of cents. A female bear with her three little cubs was discovered last week by Paul Bell an old colored man near the plantation of Mr. J. W. McLeod. Granulated sugar. 4 pounds for 25 cents, or 10 pounds for a dollar, at M. Kudisky's. The law against selling cigarettes to minors does not seem to be of any effect, for you can frequently see small boys puffing away on the filthy little things. Just received, fresh and genuine ,turnip seeds, all varieties, at Dinkins & Co.'s. The Sumter District Conference of the Methodist church meets this year at Summerton, Aug. 6-9. J. W. Mc Leod, Jos. Sprott, Jr., and S. A. Net tes are the delegates from Manning. Fresh gilt edge butter, only 30 cents a pona, at M. Kahisky's. A little poison scattered about the streets, would cause less annoyance from prowling dogs. If a man owns a valuable dog let him value that dog enough to keep him at home and feed him. If the dog is valueless then let him go on the streets, and feed upon what he may find, regard less of consequences. Buy your turnip seeds at Dinkins & Co.'s drug store. Too poor to take a home paper. Well, that is a distressful condition. Buy a hen, feed her on crumbs and waste from the kitchen, and she will lay enough to pay for a year's sub scription; then work her up in a pot pie and she wil: pay first cost, so that the paper will be clear profit. Re peat this year after year and you will see how easy it is to pay for your home pap~er. Do't say you can't tind anything in Manning to suit until you have called at M. Levi's and examined the great selection of new goods just arrived. The county colored farmers' alli ance met ini the court house last Saturday, and the following of ficers were elected for the ensuing term: L. H. David, superintendent; Robert Shannon, secretary; S. 3M. Walker, treasurer; S. MI. Walker, Julius DuRant, and Ben Jones, agri cultural committee. We were inform ed by one of their officers that the object of the meeting was, to teach the brethren to "inject politics out of the order" and to discuss matters of mutual benefit to the members. A resolution was adopted declaring themselves to have nothing to do with any political party. Turnip seeds, all kinds, at Dinkins & Co.s drug store. A new enterprise has been started in anning as will be seen by read ing in another column the advertise ment of Messrs. Weinberg & Bagnal. These gentlemen, realizing the steady growth of our tcwn and the geneal imnprovemlenlt throughout t he count', have determined to oi'gamize a real estate agency, in which they propose to devote their attention to the buying and selling of real estate, follection ot' rents, listing of propler'ty or non-residents, and to attend to all matters that come in the line of real estate agents. Both of these gen'tle men are well known to our r'eaders~ ~nd any business placed in their hands will receive prompt and reliable atntion. Read the advertisement of the WiM throp TrinLUing School. The e-rk of court has had his of tiee ador.ied with another convenient record ease. Large concleations are attending the protracted services at the Baptist church of this place. An important meeting of the Good Templars' lodge will be held next Fri day night, and a full attendance is de sired. One of the singular things in life is that the lighter moustache a man has the more trouble he experiences in raising it. Mr. B. A. Walker has been drawn as a petit juror in the United States court which meets in Charleston the first MIonday in November. The third quarterly conference for the 'Manning Methodist church was held yesterday in this Place. Rev. . T. Hodgcs preached at 11 o'clock. A protracted meeting will begin next Sundav in the Methodist church, to be continued for several weeks. Rev. A. J. Stokes, of Sumter, will as sist Rev. W. S. Stokes in the meeting. On the 31st instant Doctor Swamp and Oak Grove alliances are to have a consolidated picnic at the residence of ir. Jeff D. Holladay. Several prominent speakers have been invited, and a large crowd is expected. Clarendon is entitled to a scholar ship in the S. C. 'Military Academy this year, and as the scholarship is for four years and worth $1,000, we expect there will be a number of ap plicants for the prize. Particulars were published last week. The trustees of the Manning Colle iate Institute have elected the fol lowing teachers: Mr. 3Marshall 1). Murray, late of the Bishopville Acad emy, principal; and Miss Mary A. Hughson, of Sumter, assistant. The teacher for the primary department will be elected later. There is much interest manifested in the protracted meeting at the Bap tist church. Twenty were baptised last Sunday night, and thirty or more are to be baptised next Sunday night. Up to the present time forty-seven have been added to the membership of the Manning Baptist church. Trial Justice Timmons yesterday tried a colored girl by the name of Ida 3Manning for stealing watermelons from the field of Mr. B. F. Ridgill. The airl acknowledged stealing the melons, and was sent to jail for one week. He, also, committed Simon Scott on the charge of stealing a pistol and watch from Mr. J. H. Lloyd. Capt. S. C. Cartledge, an agent for the sinking fund commission, is in Manning, collecting back taxes on forfeited lands and correcting any er rors that may exist. He will be here until the 28th instant with his head quarters in the auditor's office. Those persons receiving notices from him will do well to call on him with their tax receipts. An excursion train passed Manning this morning loaded with living freight for the "city by the sea." The train was billed to stop at this place, and as a natural consequence of cheap fre, a large number dressed in their "best Sunday clothes" went to the depot, expecting to spend to-day in haling the salty atmosphere from the ocean. The crowd waiting at the depot numbered in the neighborhood of one hundred, and as the train was approaching there was a general hand-shaking and wishings of pleas re, when to their utter astonishment the train, running at the rate of thir ty miles an hour, shot past these would-be excursionists and continued on its way much to the disappoint ment of those who had set their hearts on a day of fun. It was a col ored excursion with special accommo dations for whites. A number of white persons were among the disap pointed excursionists. The Storm Last Week. Last Thursday afternoon a heavy rain accompanied by lightning, thun der, and a gale struck this town. It wvas probably the severest wind storm this towvn has ever experienced. A small house in the western part of the town occupied by Stephen oses, was blowvn down. Stephen, who was standing in the doorway, was knocked down, but fell outside the house. His two children were covered up by the debris. As soon as Stephen recovered from his shock he pulled the timbers off his children and'rescued them. A table had held the timbers up sufficiently to save the children's lives and neither of them was hurt. It was a narrow escape for them. The house once used as a gin house, belonging to MIr. J. R. Ridgill, was blown down and scattered in ev ery direction. Several large trees were blowvn downu across the Fulton At the depot M1r. N. A. Hall had a narrow escape. He had just left the telegraph instrument, wvhen a sheet of lightning struck the wvire, and en tered the office at the switchboard just above the table where M1r. Hall usually sits. The force of the elec tricity'was so great as to shake the entire depot building and the em ployees who wvere in the building r ceived a severe electric shock. The only damage done was the demolish ing of a cleat that the wires in the of fce passed through. SubIstituite for. a Cuss Word. She was a nice and pious old lady, but the pangs of rheumatism proved wvell nigh too much for her fortitude, and in a moment of agony she was moved to declare that she wished her rheumatics were laid upon the devil rather thani upon her. Her small but lively grandson, who chaced to overhear the observation, vas very prop~erly shocked, and felt Ica'lld upon to remonstrate, mildly Ibut firmlv: Granoma," he said, with great rity, "I don't like to hear you say devil if you mxust say something," he continued, "you miighit say Damas-5 cus That is a bible word, and it says damin and ass and cuss all to ethe, and no harm doue." The old lady received the rebuke wlmth tht ioeekness which it is fitting thit the old should show to the youth f te present generation, thenceforth, w~hem her earnal heart felt any inch niton to curse andl to) swear, she meekly pronounced the work "Damas cus," and undoubtedly derived great The Summerton Festivalh JoIan., .)tol 20.--On tile eveiiig of the 15th instant a goodly rod of ye young and ye ol folks of Jordanu boarded tih- train (special) onl W. & S. railroad for Summiflherteni oil eas ire bent. Our genial friend, the rail road agent at Summerton, was aboard and added to the ipleasure of the trip no little. At Davis station our crowd was augmented and a piettier aid livelier set of lassies and lads don't often ride on the W. & S. railroad. The run to Sunmerton was quickly made by us. Capt. W. W. Stutts, who was in charge of the train, was careful of the comfort of his passen gers as well as his train. Arriving at Summerton and havimg some time to spaLre, the folks took in the town, while others took in ice cream. It was delicious. The ladies of Summerton know liov to make it right. Cakes and lemonade were plentiful and nice, Which fact is prov en in the way they were called for and disappeared. The doors opened at 8 as advertised, with a crow~l-d house. The conceit was just splendid all the way through. There could be no better. Several years ago a correspondent of ours said he went on a hunt for Summerton but could not find it, it vasn't thar. Well you can tell him ve found it. Yes, Mr. Editor, we found it. It is thar, and a live, git up-and-git-thar place to boot. Everything passed oft just splen id, and everything was so pleasant, and everybody in a good humor. c.

There are those who are morbidly anxious about their health, watching every syliptoni and <losing them selves on the siigLtest provocation. There are others who never give the matter a thought, but perinit real syiniptoms to 1:11se into the certain ties of disease. Between these two extreies the wise man steers--nev er unduly anxious, and yet not per mittinug genuine sym ptoius to develop. He knows that delays are dangerous, and he knows, inoreover, that tihe imetlicine niost likely to be effective is that which goes straight to the seats of disease, and tones up the digestive organs, strenglthens the system and purifies the blood. He takes a few doses of S. S. S., and soon finds that all the symptols have disappeared, and thlat he is in aI better condition than ever. The great vegetable rem edy has no rival. Williamsburg News.
