Last Sunday Mr. Moses Levi left to make a tour of the mountain resorts. He will al so visit the watering places, and then go North to select his fall and winter stock. He said before leaving that he proposes to buy an assortment of goods this fall that will dazzle the eyes of the purchaser, and cause his brother merchants to hustle if they want to compete with him in prices. Mr. Levi says this is one year the people will be benefitted with low prices, as the competition will be strong, and that he will maintain his reputation as a leader, matters not what it costs. - - 6i1 4 Attention, Sprott Guards.

The legislature of 1887 passed an act mak ing it a misdemeanor for persons in cer tain counties to engage in the purchase, barter, or exchange of seed cotton within the period beginning August 15th, and end ing December 15th, of each year, without first procuring a license from the clerk of the court of their respective counties. At the last session of the legislature an act was passed making Clarendon one of the coun ties where a license will be required before anyone can legally engage in the seed cot ton traffic. The license fee is three hun dred dollars, and the applicant for license must be recommended by at least ten land owners, resident within the township wherein the applicant intends to do busi ness, before the clerk of the court can issue the license. Any person in this county who shall en gage in the seed cotton traffic without a li cnse will lay themselves liable to be pun ished by a fine of not less than one hun dred dollars, or imprisonment not less than one year, or both, within the discre tion of the court.

Our Trip to Sumnimerton. DEAR TIEs:-Last Wednesday night we left Manning on our way to Summerton, to attend the Sumter District Conference. Af ter a few minutes ride in the Cincinnati sleeper we reached Foreston, where we spent the night with a relative. The next morning we had a short chat at the depot with the moving spirit of Foreston, him who is always in the van in every progres sive movement, Col. R. R. Hudgins. He was specially bouyant about his brag cotton, and says he fears no one in the State, as he is confident lie will gather more cotton from a ten-acre field he has, than any other far mer in the State will gather from a field of equal size. Col. Iudgins is an old man in years, but in energy and work, in seeking to give pleasure to others, in church matters--in everything, he is the leader. He is a man who loves to see his town improving, and who stands ready at all times to give his money and influence for the benefit of his town. The Atlantic Coast Line has just com pleted a handsome depot at Foreston, and no longer can complaints be made on this line. The depot is conveniently situated in the centre of the town. Leaving Foreston about eight o'clock Thursday morning, we took a back-track to Wilsons, to connect with the Wilson & Summerton train. Wilsons is about four miles from Foreston and five from Man ning. Once this was a busy, buzzing place, but since Mr. Thomas Wilson has moved away his saw and planing mills, it has a very deserted appearance. Our young friend, Walter Burgess, has charge of the post office, telegraph office, express office, passenger and freight depots for the two railroads, and we think he also has charge of the only store in the place. fle manages to do all this work by himself, and yet occa sionally has a little spare time on his hands. There is a great change in the business of this place. After a delay of an hour at Wilsons the train for Summerton was ready to start. Our train consisted of an engine, a combi nation passenger and baggage car, and two freight cars. The passenger ear was sand witched between the freight cars; the en gine was in front but was turned backwards, and so ran the entire distance. About nine o'clock the whistle sounded and the train started. Capt. Stutts, a very polite and accommodating gentleman, occupied the double position of engineer and conductor. As soon as the train started the train hands got hold of a watermelon, and seemingly enjoyed greatly the luscious fruit, but not being able to consume all of it they rested the remainder quietly on one of the passenger seats until they had safely passed Jordan, when they in short order consumed the residue. Time was no object with us, so it seemed as if the time in running to Jordan was comparatively short. This place is much larger than we expected to find, and from the railroad depot it presents the appear ance of a growing and prosperous little town. The next station was Davis, where Mr. C. M. Davis holds sway. He has a large saw mill, a store, and other enterprises. There are signs of much activity here. At this place we left our rear freight car standing on the main line. As there is only one train on this road, of course there was no danger of an accident resulting therefrom. When about two miles from Summerton our dignifid old engine began to snort and blow as if there was something the matter, but as the train hands paid little attention to these signals we gave it no thought, but when we had crossed Taw Caw, and struck an up grade, our train stopped. Then we learned that for nearly a mile the train had been running by itself, and the old engine had been trying to keep out of the way. The coupling had pulled oat of the engine's. head, -and as the cars were on a down-grade, they had run along by the force of gravity. It was a little dangerous, but we didn't know it until the danger was over, and then no harm had been done. We were only about half a mile from Summerton, but the sun was hot, with no shade trees along the track. After a delay of a quarter of an hour, Capt. Stutts kindly consented to take us all on his engine. In a few minutes the hu man freight and baggage were transferred to the engine, and the run was pleasantly made. The passengers consisted of Mrs. Dr. Brockinton and her two children, of Manning; Miss Tyson Coinyers, of Foreston; Mr. Haley, of Jordan; and ourself. The Summertonl railroad is run on the economic plan, and wve are told is making money. There is little or no grading on the road, the surface being comparatively level, with little undulation, and the track is laid on the surface without grading. There arc no wood'racks or water tanks. When the wood gives out, the crew of the train take their axes and in a reasonably short time, say an hour, they convert an old dead pine tree into a cord of wood, and then carry it in their arms to the engine, where it is dumped into the tender. When the water gets low, a hose sufficiently long is put into a convenient and neighooring diteh, with the water five or six inches deep, and by mear-s of a pump on the engine the water is transferred to the resovoir on the engine. Of course tadpoles and small frogs are also carried into the resovoir and from thence into the boiler of the engine, where they as sist in making steam. It takes a half hour, probably, to fill the resovoir in this way, but then the crew and passengers can amuse themselves in the meantime by shooting rabbits, fighting mosquitoes, or picking blackinrries. If the resovoir gets full before the party gets back, it simply runs over and out upon the ground, with out doing any harm. The engine is never turned around on this road, but pulls the train back-wards to Summerton and forwards to Wilsons. The road is poorly equipped, and the train runs about eight miles to the hour, but, withal, it is a pleasant route, and the conductor is an agreeable person. The train on this trip made extra good speed, and ran the sixteen miles in about an hour and three quarters. WVe got full value received for the fifty cents we paid for the ride, and en joyed it much. Summerton is one of the best and most charming places in the world. We always enjoy a visit there, and never before have we spent a four days' visit more pleasantly than last week in Sumimerton. Dr. B. M. Badger was our host, and everything in and about his house gives evidence of the enl tured refinement of himself and wife. Their large front yard is filled with choice, rare, and beautiful flowers and plants, and the fruit orchard contains a variety of fruits. In no respi et did the doctor and his wife fail to make their guests enjoy themselves. But Summerton is noted for its hospitality, and our great regret was that we could not get around more, thongh we were on the go all the time. We have never seen a better District Con ference. Rev. E. T. Hodges, presiding el der, made a better president than a bishop would have done, and he despatched busi ness so rapidly and satisfactorily that at the close of the Saturday morning's service the conference was ready for adjournment. The spirit of brotherly love p~ervadced the meet ing, and not a jar occurred durin. the ses sion. T1he preaching and speaking was among the best we ever listened to. The sermon Thursday morning, by Dr. 11. N. Wells, of Charleston, but a native of Sum merton section. wvas a nmast'rly production. Friday night R1ev. J. C. Kilgo, financial agent of Wofford college, made an ednea tional speeh, a fine erfit, in which his wit and deep learning kept the peop~lle keenly interested for more than an hour, while he drove home a number of stubborn facts in favor of an intelligent relhgion. For a man to be a well-rounded Christian he must cul tivate, not only the heart, but the head and; the body. His appeal for Wolford resulted in a collection of about S150. Sunday night church to a crowded house. Every space in the building was ocenpied, and his sermon on the fatherhood of God was full of deep truth. Sunday morning Rev. W. D. Kirkland, 1). D., proac(d in the Methodist church, Rev. Samuel Lander, in the Baptist church, and Rev. J. Marion Rodgers, in the Pres byterian church. We heard Dr. Kirkland's, and the crowded church felt that the ser mon was too short, though it occupied sev enty minutes in delivery. The preaching and the speaking -.t the conference was con siderably above the average, and the Sum merton District Conference may be set down as the best ever held in the district. The re ports of the preachers were in the main en couraging. Crops around Sumnierton are excellent, and the people feel satislie.l. We saw some beautiful corn and colton crops. This Suni nrton land is probably the best farming lands in the State. All that is needed is proper cultivation. The people around hero are prosperous, because they raise their own provisions. After church Sunday night, we accepted a seat with Messrs. Horton Rigby and Char ley Lesesne, and after a pleasant ride of three hours, we arrived home at two o'clock in the morning. S. A. N. [For the Manning Times.] Lord Chatham in the Days of '76. BY JOHN L. EASTERLING, M. D. To protest and forewarn against national harm, Lord Chatham to parliament went in alarm; His grandeur ascended o'er legalized rage, 'Mid the wonders of thought that illumined his age. A flash from his eye when he spoke of his king Lit the scorn on his brow for the war on the win". All saw what was up-their great giant had come To tell them America could not be won. He thus spoke to his peers: Far o'er the blue waves The crown's "brightest jewel" brooks illy your ways, And liberty's silent, soft eloquence may Enchant it so sweetly and charm it away So far from the reach of our proud lion's paw, That you'll regret when too late this weak English law. Oh! your cause is unjust, and your troops are too few, And your foes are so brave that they'll ne'er bend to you. Far o'er the blue waves France hastens to woo And strengthen this gem to battle 'gainst you; Like the rattlesnake coiled, her eye fixed and steady, She watches our crown with her fangs ever ready. Oh! she'll stand neath the colors America waves, And she'll fight by the side of America's braves. I scorn her base mission and. the storm of her rage, As I do this lamentable war you would wage. Far o'er the blue waves there's a uniform new, Which our soldiers may find most painful ly true; There are heroes unknown by liberty taught, Who'll teach them the lesson you pier-men have bought. They'll doff what they please, and they'll uniformed be, When their guns are all right and your tea's in the sea. Oh ! I love and I honor our tried gallant men, Yet they'll never return with this beautiful gem. Far o'er the blue waves your hirelings have gone too, Where tomahawksbatchets, au d war-whoops may join you, Yet the wisdom and courage of those they will meet, Will stamp all this filth in the dust 'neath their feet. Go haste thee, my monarch, call back your brave troops, And send home to their masters these uni formed dupes 0 await not the fortunes of war and its cost, For your glittering jewel will then have been lost!

The reason the re ward has not been picked up is be cause there are no mineral or poison ous substances in Swift's Specific (S. S. S.)
