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

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

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

hour. He says he will shortly have a small
town at his place, which is less than a mile

Mr. J. P. McPherson, the polite and suc
cessful representative of the Killough Music

anos and organs in this town and county,
and is very well satisfied with the success
he is meeting with.

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. Valk & Mur

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.

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.

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.

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,

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. Dis long faced sol
emcholy bizness is jes wot's killin' re

Willing to Make it Right.
"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.

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.

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.

To the Railroad Companies of South Car

from time to time indicate that Sections
1,475, 1,4761, and 1,477, General Statutes,
in regard to running of freight trains or
Sunday, have been violated, and it is deem
ed best to call att<:ntion to all the railroads
in the State to such violations, and requcs1
that strict instructions be issued to prevent
for the future the running of freight train!
on Sunday otherwise than provided foi
by law.
At many of the stations, more particular.
ly the smaller ones, it is the practice of idli
persons to luikvi arund the waiting room!
and platforms, thereby ::eriously incon
veniencing passengers getting on and of
trains. Your attention is called to Section:
1,515 and 1,516, General Statutes, and yot

places at each station, and see that the pro

TIIE DEAUTY STANDARD.
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

NERVOUS INDIGESTION.
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.

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

son from the blood, as the cures it has ac
complished conclusively show. It also

fections arising from impure or poisoned
