The reporter selected by the colored M. E. Church Conference, which met here -week before last, failed to carry out the in structions given him by that body to fur nish the uMosD~ Tnrns with a report of the proceedings. A fter the long spell of wet weather, it is very essential to have all the lots and yards as clean as possible. Therefore, those per sons that have been supplied with disinfec tants, should see to it that their premises are thoroughly disinfected. Last Friday was the day for the examina tion of applicants for the Winthrop Train ing school scholarship, and not a person put in appearance to take advantage of the iberal offer. What's the matter with our Fresh gilt edge butter, only 30 cents a pound, at IL. Kahisky's. E. D. Hamilton, the town's favorite ton sorial artist, has been confined to his bed for the past two weeks, and for several days his shop was closed. The shop is now open for, business with a barber from Charleston in charge. Fresh lemons at M. Xalisky's. Messrs. Dinkins & Co. have gone back to their old quarters, after having them thoroughly renovated, enlarged, and beauti fied. Their drug store now presents a very handsome appearance, and a call from their friends will be appreciated by them. M. Levi is selling off his entire stock of summer'goods at remarkably low figures to -make room for a heavy fall stock. He pro -poses to maintain the lead that he has held -for years, and merchants competing with Thim will have to sow seed that will prove a beneficial harvest to the purchasing public. Granulated sugar. 4 pounds for 25 cents, or 16 pounds for a dollar, at ML. Ealisky's. There are more loafing negroes in this -town than in any other town of its size in the State. Every day can be seen big, able 'bodied men loitering in front of the bar rooms, and playing ball in the streets. How these individuals live and have their being is a mystery. They certainly have no visi ble means of supporting themselves, and yet their boisterous guffaws and indecent chat can be daily heard. Turnip seeds, all kinds, at Dinkins & Co.'s drug store. Owing to the recent rains the ~cotton crop has been much injured. It is shown from the reports that cotton has commenced shed ding its forms, and in many places taken rust. The younger cotton, which is about one-third of the entire crop, has grown so rapidly that it has taken on very little fruit, and as the season is far advanced, it will have but little time to recover from the in jury sustained. Buy your turnip seeds at Dinkins & Co.'s drug store. Messrs. John F. Werner & Co., who are well and favorably known to our readers, call attention to the trade that they are sole agents for the celebrated "Game Cock and Three Link" tobaccos, and besides these, a general stock of everything that can be handled in a first-class grocery establish menit, they are the patentees for a "Hone~y Waffie," which cannot be excelled. It is one of the finest cakes we ever tasted. Just received, fresh and genuine turnip seeds, all varieties, at Dinkins & Co.'s. The danger of leaving ol-1 wells uncov ered was illustrated last Monday, on a lot in the rear of the law office of J. S. Wilson, Esq., belonging to M. Levi. A horse of Messrs. Legg & Hutchinson, while grazing on the lot, fell into this pitfall, and was only extricated after the hardest kind of work. Fortunately, the horse was not seri ously hurt. Mr. Levi, realizing the danger of this open well, will have it filed up at nee. Mr. J. N. Riggs has our thanks for a wa termelon which he presented to us this morning. Rtev. J. .. MtcLenore, pastor of George town Baptist church, will preach in the Manning Baptist church next Sunday morning at 11 o'clock. The Methodist meeting closed last Sun day night. The meeting was very interest ing and resulted in much good to the church. Rev. E. T. Hodges preached Sat urday and Sunday nights. Mr. C. L. Emanuel is making big prepar ations for a large trade this fall. He has bought two sixty-saw gins, and will be ready in full time to do the ginning of the Fork. He is also putting up a grist mill with a capacity of twelve bushels meal an hour. He says he will shortly have a small town at his place, which is less than a mile from Alcolu. Mr. J. P. McPherson, the polite and suc cessful representative of the Killough Music Company, is so well pleased with Manning that he has brought his family here, and they are quartered at the Manning Hotel. Mr. McPherson has sold a number of pi anos and organs in this town and county, and is very well satisfied with the success he is meeting with. It will not be long before our farmers will be gathering the fleecy staple from their fields to put in a merchantable shape for market, and we beg to call their attention to the advertisement of Messrs.

New Firm. Horton, Burgess, & Co., is the name of a new firm, consisting of Messrs. E. C. Hor ton, W. E. Burgess, and F. 0. Richardson. Each of these young men is well and favor ably known, and needs no introduction. The new firm will open business here on September 1st, are widely known over the county, and we bespeak a good season for them, notwithstanding the low price of cot ton, as they propose placing upon this mar ket a line of goods superior to any ever shown here and will equal any establish ment in the State for novelties and true val ues. Mr. W. E. Burgess will leave for the North on Thursday where he will spend several weeks selecting their fall and win ter stock. p The Majesty of the Law. Last Thursday there were two courts go ing on at the same time in the court house. Trial Justice Mahoney, of Packsville, was engaged in hearing the case of Henry Da vis, colored, charged with violating a labor contract made with Mr. J. P. Brock. The defendant admitted having broken the con tiact, and the jury rendered a verdict of guilty. He was sentenced to pay a fine of twenty dollars, or to go to jail thirty days. He was jailed. In Justice Timimons's coui-t, Mr. Allen Alsbrook, of Harmony Township, was tried for failure to work roads. Mr. Alsbrook proved that he had not been properly warn ed. He had sent a substitute to the place where he supposed the hands were work ing, but they were not to be found. The jury acquitted him. Cloud Burst. A regular, new-fashioned, genuine cloud burst, of the most approved pattern, del uoged the face of the earth a few miles to t~e north-west of Manning last Friday night. It seems to have spent its fury be tween Mr. J. C. Johnson's and Mr. J. F. Bradham's. The downpour began shortly before dark, and continued for fully three hours. Mr. Furman Bradhiam tells us that a small stream, two or three inches deep, that he crossed in the afternoon, was, at ten o'clock that night, a roaring torrent, run ning up ia h. bre .asa ror a dis tance of a mile and a half along the public road, with the exception of one place, for a distance of about two hundred yards he could easily have paddled a canoe. Light ning and thunder was often and severe, and a number of trees were struck. Roads were so washed as to be almost impassable, and cotten four feet high, growing upon hillsides, was washed up and away, the field being left ridged with gullies. The rains during July were probably heavier and more frequent taan ever be fore for the same length of time. I + The Sheriff Sells 5,872 Acres of Land. Last Monday was salesday, and the sheriff was the only public officer that seem ed to have much to engage his attention. Sheriff Bradham sold the following eight tracts of swamp land at the suit of the State for taxes: 1,875 acres, Manning township, to R. A. Ridgill for $60.05. 250 acres, Manning township, to Louis Appelt for $25.62. 147 acres, Manning township, to Mrs. H. J. Bradham for $20.50. 600 acres, Mtanning township, to J. D. Holladay for $71.50. 2,000 acres, Santee township, to J. D. Lacy for $1,000. 400 acres, Harmony township, to C. L. manuel for $65. 150 acres, Harmony township, to R. 3. Bradham for $29.60. 450 acres, Harmony township, to C. L. Emanuel for $65. Col. James G. Gibbes, agent for the sink ing fund commission, was here to look af ter the State's interests and says that he will have a lot more swamp lands to be sold in October. His attention will be called on September salesday to Hampton county, where he will sell thirty thousand acres of land in one tract. The Frog l'ond. The recent spell of wet weather has cer tainly developed a full-fledged frog pond, alive with frogs, in the northern portion of this town. Special attention should be given this matter by the authorities, and they should see that the place is ditched, and the water drawn off. It is not to the interest of the town to have a frog pond in its midst, for when a stranger hears the night being made hideous by the croakings of these animals, he is at once reminded of his quinine bottle. The council have the right to abate nui sances, without regard to where the njuisance is situated. If a nuisance is on the public thoroughfares. the council would be cen sured by the citizens if they allowed it to remain, but when a nuisance exists on pri vate property the owner of the property will, of course, object to going to the ex pense of removing it. In such cases it becomes the duty of the council to summons the owner of the prop erty to appear before them, to show cause why they should not be fined for allowing a nuisance to remain on their premises, and wllen they do appear they should be given the alternative of removing the cause of complaint or suffer punishment. The place we speak of is a low place on one of the prettiest building lots in town, and whenever there is a rain of any conse quence the water stands on this place, and sends out a very offensive odor, and is fairly alive with frogs and tadpoles. Such a condition cannot be conducive to health, and may possibly result in sickness if allowed to go unnoticed. I. IR. Branham, editor ChrisWan Inder, Atlanta, Ga., writes: "I have used Brady. crotine with unfailing, prompt, decided re Silver News. S115En, Aug. 3.- One of the most enjoyna able pienics of the season it has been on privilige to attend this year, took place or August 1st, at the resid-nec of Mr. . W CuTtter's. The Calvary Alliance pit t'he big pot ir the little one. The brethren and friends o the alliance ontstripped themselves. I was an awakening, stirring, thrilling occa sion, in keeping with the good people ir this section of the county. When they sa: a thing they mean it; when they undertak< a measure they succeed at it. The occasion had no politics in it, for yot know this is an off year. It was a gatherin for amusement and pleasure; it was a socia ble union-a brilliant, happy day. The aged and the young, married and single, seemed to enjoy the very bloom of content. Nothing marred the pleasure, no disquie tude rested on those bosoms. From early morning vehicles of various kinds, freight, ed with some of the bandsomest ladies I ever saw arrived on the ground. There was sufficient evidence that cnpid's part would be well played, and from what I saw, Ijudged correctly, though it has been said the eye is never satisfied with seeing. But, Mr. Editor, had you been there, with quill in hand, placedi at the table just as Tom stood, surrounded with such fair attention, Jon would have done just as I did. Hon. James E. Tindal, secretary of State, was present. Mr. D. F. Lide, president of the Alliance, in his humorous and pleasing way introduced Mr. Tindal to the audience, who responded as he usually does, and made one of the plainest and most sensible speeches of his life. His speech was re plete with Alliance doctrines, and he inter ested his audience solely in matters apper. taining to the farming interest of the coun try. I noted the principal points discussed, but for fear I might do Mr. Tindal injustice, I forbear comment. All who know him agree with me that Clarendon never pro duced a more brilliant mind, and that he ranks equal with her ablest and best orators. TOM. YOU TAKE NO RISK In buying Hood's Sarsaparilla, for it is every where recognized as a standard bqilding-up medicine and blood purifier. It has won its way to the front by its own intrinsic merit, and has a larger sale than any preparation of its kind. Any honest druggist will confirm this statement. If you decide to take Hood's Sarsaparilla, do not be induced to buy any thing else instead. Be sure to get Hood's. In Memoriam. DAxox LoDGE, No. 13, KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS, Manning, S. C., July 16, 1891. Whereas, Since it has pleased Almighty God, in His infinite wisdom, to remove from our midst our beloved brother, Robert 8. Connor, we desire to place on record our testimony to his unblemished Christian character and intrinsic worth, therefore, be it Resolved 1. That in the death of our brother, Pythian Knighthood in general, and Damon Lodge in particular, has lost one who lived up to the precept that "only stainlesn garments befit a true Knight of Pythias." Resolved 2. That while bowing in sub mission to the Divine will, we deeply feel our loss, and extend to the bereaved family our heartfelt sympathy in their hour of grief. Resolved 3. That in him we lose one who was an honor to his lodge, and who, by his unbending honesty and lofty character, gained for himself the respect and admira tion of all who knew him, and left for us an example worthy of imitation. Resolved 4. That a blank page in the minute book of the lodge be inscribed to his memory; that a copy of these resolu tions be sent to the family, and that they be published. JAMFs E. DAvis, W. E. Bnows, J. M. KNIGuT, Committee. Planer Stabbed by a Negro. BIsHOPVII.I.E, August 4.-Mr. T. S. Stuck ey, a prominent planter, who lives near Bishopville, was stabbed this morning by a colored man named Fin Johnson. The wound is not necessarily fatal, but weak ness from loss of blood renders his condi tion critical. That distention of the stomach which many people feel after eating, may be due tc improper mastication of food; but, in most eases, indicates a weakness of the digestive organs, the best remedy for which is one of Ayer's Pills, to be taken after dinner. A Born Diplomat. "But have you thought of my fath er ?" she inquired as George was mak ing arrangements for their future hap piness. "Yes: it's all right aboul him. I am giving him tips on the races, and it won't be a month before he is cternally grateful to me or else no longer able to crush me with his wealth." Would Live to Do It. Doctor-Your wife is a very sick woman, sir, and likely to die. Husband-You needn't worry about her, Doe. She got a rnew dress the other day, and she hasn't tried it on yet. Objected to the Quality. "I'll be doggoned !" exclaimed young Emmerson, of Boston. - "Don't use such slang," pleaded his sister; "say canine departed, not doggoned." Rev. Plink Plunk on Politics. Politics am a game, deah breddern, dat hones' men ain't got no business foolin' wif. An hones' man in politics am jest about as much out ob place as a politician would be in a pulpit, fo de simple reason dat dere ain't de least analogosity between honesty an politics, not de least. Rev. Plink Plunk on Joyfulness. When de 'Postle Paul said, "Rejoice, I say to you, rejoice," deahi breddern, he didn't mean dat when you gits in side ob a church do' on Sunday, dal you got to wear your faces a yahd an a half longer dan you do eany udder day in de week.

"Look here," said an excited mar to a druggist, "you gave mue morphine for quinine this morning." "Is that so ?" replied the druggist "then you owe me 25 cents. That'i the difference in the price."~ A Big Loss. It is estimated that at least fift' million dollars of the govern ment'm paper money, supposed to be in cir culation, has been lost or destroyed By the sinking of one vessel off th< Atlantic coast, some years ago, ont million dollars in greenbacks was lost. Ugly Girls With Pretty lilands. Speaking of pr-etty hands I askedt girl in a glove store the other dayi the old saying that ugly womren hav< pretty hands and feet was true. "] don't know about the feet," she re. plied, "but it's usually true that ouw homeliest customers have the pretti est hands, and v'ice versa." She citei Mrs. Langiry as an instance of th4 latter fact. The Jersey Lily's extrem ities are slender but extremely long and English in size. And Mrs. Cleve land's feminine enemies could alwaym say the same of her when the subjeci of her nqneationed baunty came nn FORESTON AGAINST THE STATE. A Citizen of Foreston is Willing to Stak His lome and Cotton Crop That H Has the Best Cotton Crop in the State Emoi MaNCi-m Tosirs: -In your last is sue you gave me license to brag on my cot ton crop until some one turned me down It will take some c.ne from some other Stat than South Carolina. Foreston has 1:mg c-njoyed the repntatior of making more corn per acre than an: other section of the State, but it was claim ed she could not compete on cotton, so thi year several of our citizens decided to pu an end to that accusation. And all I havi to say is, if any one in the State, Marlbor< not excepted, thinks lie can produce say, from 5 to 50 acres of better cotton that we can in Foreston, when gathering timo comes, they can send a representative tc superintend the gathering, and we will d the same, and the one making the most lin1 cotton shall haul the other's home. Ask your exchanges to pass it around. Nobody in Foreston is scared. R. R. HUDor.s. Foreston, Aug. 3, 1891. CHILDREN ENJOY The pleasant flavor, gentle action, and soothing effects of Syrup of Figs. when in need of a laxative, and if the father oi mother be costive or bilious, the mosi gratifying results follow its use, so thai it is the best family remedy known, and every family should have a bottle. Alliance Picuic. The people of the Deep Creek section spent a pleasant day last Friday, at a picnic given under the auspices of the Doctoi Swamp and Oak Grove sub-alliances. The weather was very threatening in the early part of the day, and a great many were prevented from attending on that ac count, but abcut one hundred persons were present, including many ladies. Captain D. J. Bradham entertained those present for about three-fourths of an hour, discussing the important topics of the day. His remarks were full of wholesome instruc tion, and were well received. Speeches were delivered also by Messrs. L. Appelt and J. H. Timmons, after which the picnickers gathered around a well-la dened table, and all enjoyed a dinner which for quantity and quality would be hard tc excel. BUCKLEN'S ARNICA SALVE.

During the epidemic of Ia grippe lasi season Dr. King's New Discovery for con sumption, coughs, and colds, proved to be the best remedy. Reports from the many who used it confirm this statement. They were not only quickly relieved, but the dis ease left no bad after results. We ask you t give this remedy a trial and we guarantee that you will be satisfied with results, oz the purchase price will be refunded. It has no equal in la grippe, or any throat, chest, or lung trouble. Trial bottles free at J. G. Dinkins & Co.'s drug store. Large bottles 50c. and $1. HAPPY HOOSIERS. Wm. Timmons, postmaster of Idaville, Iad., wr'tes: "Electric Bitters has done more for me than all other medicines com. bined, for that bad feeling arising from kidney and liver trouble." John Leslie, farmer and stockman, of same place, says: "Find Electric Bitters to be the best kidney and liver medicine, made me feel like a new man." J. W. Gardner, hardware merchant, same town, says: Electric Bitters is jusl the thing for a man who is all run down and don't care whether he lives or dies; ht found new strength, good appetite and feli just like he had a new lease on life. Only 50 cents a bottle at J. G. Dinkins d Co.'s drug store. A Gentle Reminder to the Railroads. OFFICE OF RAILIIoAD CO31nsISONEBS, Cowu~nrma, S.

The standard of femiale loveliness varie! greatly in ditl'erent countries, and with in dividual tastes. Sonic prefer the plumil and buxom type; some admire the slcnde! and sylph-like, and some the tall and queenly maimden. But among all people of the Caucasian race, one point of beauty ii always admired-a pure, clear, and spotless complexion--whether the female be of the blonde, brunette, or hazel-eyed type. This first great requisite of loveliness can be as sured only by a pure state of the blood, ac. tive liver, good appetite and digestion, al] of which are secured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It im guaranteed to accomplish all that is claimed for it, or money refunded. If you would have a clear, lovely complexion, free fron eruptions, moth patches, spots and blem. ishes, use tho "Golden Medical Discovery.' The best and surest dye to color the beard broton or black, as may be desired, is Buck. ingham's Dye for the Whiskers. It neve: fails.

The prime cause of most of the nervous disorders and ailments with which humanity is afflicted may be trace 1 to indigestion. The irritable man, the unhappy woman, the fretful child, contrive to make all around them miserable. rhey dose them selves for nervousiess, and perhaps find temporary relief, only to grow more nervous when the inevitable re action comes. It is in such cases that S. S. S. gives almost immediate relief. It builds up the entire system, puri fies the blood, gives tone to the diges tive organs, restores the functions of the stomach, gives activity to the liv er, and puts all the nerves in tune with henlth and good humor. It is nature's great remedy, and never fails to give relief. Rev. Plink Plunk on Generosity.

BLOOD POISON Is very liable to follow contact of the bands or face with what is known as poison ivy, especially in hot weather, or if the body is perspiring freely. The trouble may sub side for a time, only to appear in aggravat ed form when opportunity offers. The great purifying powers of Hood's Sarsapa rilla thoroughly eradicate every trace of poi son from the blood, as the cures it has ac complished conclusively show.
