With the progress the hands are making, and a little sunshine, the grass and weeds will be out of sight in a short while. Fresh lemons at M. Kalisky's. The attention of the council is called tc the dangerous man-traps in the shape of old wells, partially covered with old meat box es and weeds, in some of the open lots in this town.

Last Friday it was discovered thata -sneak-thief had been at work in the com 2nis-aary store of the Harvia Brothers, and2 had stolen therefrom a bag or money con tinning $106.52, in gold mostly. Mr. C. R. Harvin had but a short time before drawn the money from the bank, and after placing the money in a drawer his at tention was called to the mill. Some time later he went to the drawer for the money, and it was gone. The matter was quietly worked, and Monday they discovered that a colored boy by the name of Henry Kelley was the thief. lie had slipped into the store during Mr. Harvin's absence, took the mon ey, and hid it in the bay near the mill. The boy ac. knowledged having taken the money, and tol.i where it could be found. Policeman Bloyd and the father of the boy immiediately went to the spot indicated by the boy, and found all the money except fifty-two cents, which had been spent. It is said the boy spent the 52 cents for soda w-ater, and when that gave out he toosr a S~> gold piece and gave it to another boy to get changed ?01 him. This boy told his father about it, and the investigation that followed resulted ins the recovery of the money. The boy's conscience may niot have been Lashed, but he was lashed, all the, same.

Monday night, it was decided not to levy tax, on real estate and personal properti but to levy a commutation tax of two do lars, to be paid on or before October 15th. They also authorized the policemen t visit the yards of the citizens, and if the find the premises in an unclean conditior to report sane to council, in order tht council may have the parties summoned bt fore them to show cause why they shoul not be fined for violating the sanitary law. The policemen were also instructed t collect street stand licenses, and turn ove to the treasurer the amounts so collectel and where a party fails or refuses to pay th license fee, the police must close up the e tablishment at once. It was decided to en ploy a force of hands to work the strcets and Warden Young to superintend th work. Baptist Religious Meeting. Rev. T. E. Jasper, pastor Manning Bap tist church, writes us: I am away helping in a meeting at Gour dins. The interest may demand that I ie main over Sunday, yet there will be preach ing in the Mainning Baptist church Sunda; evening at 8:30 by Rev Mr. McDowell, mis sionary of the Santee Baptist Association He will, also, preach at Dudleys church a 11 o'clock next Sunday morning.

Palmetto District Lodge, consisting of th, lodges in Clarendon,-Sumter, Florence, an< Williamsburg counties, meets in this plac September 10th. A public meeting will bi held the evening of that day, at which ther will be several speeches. A case of slow Poison. A sensation was caused near Summerto last Thursday by the death of a colored we man named Lavinia Connors. The suspi cions of the colored people on the planta tion of Mr. L. Rt. Tindal were aronscd bi assertions often made by the dcceased th:: her husband, Charlie Connors, abont tei months ago gave her a dose of concentrate< lye for medicine, trying to put her out c the way. The lye whlen given caused a burnin; sensation, and when she asked her hus band for water lie refused to give it to her Since that time she has been suffering frou its effects, and found great difficulty in eat ing. As time wore on she experience< greater difficulty to swallow, and finall; lost the use of her throat. Her husband left her immediately afte giving her the poison, and about six week ago Lavinia became the mother of a child. Coroner Rowe was called to hold an in quest over the body, and on Friday a po~ mortem examination was held by Di Briggs, who made examination, and gay the following testimony to the jury: ''I have examined the dead body of La vinia Connors. I find the gullet, or esopha gus, swollen and congested, with comuplet cicatrization of the uvula and trach:e. Th, autopsy, in my mind, bears out the supposi tion that death has resulted from the ad ministration of some corrosive substance unknown to me. The parts are almost en tirely closed, so much so that it has beei impossible for the deceased to swallos enough nutriment to sustain life. "Candor compels me to say that the pos mortem condition agrees with her often re peated statements as to causation of he condition." Other witnesses were examined, and the; testified to the fact that the deceased ha< stated several times that her husband hat iven her poison before he quit her. SThe following verdict was rendered b; the jury, of which Mr. Louis T. Fischer wa foreman: "We, the jurors in the case of Lavinia Con nors, find according to the statements mad< to us, that the deceased came to her deatl by medicine administered by her husband Chaley Connors." In accordance with the above verdict, th coroner has issued a warrant for the arres of Charley Connors, who is said to be 0ou of the county. ... Are the Postmasters to Blame ? It is exceeding1.y unpleasant and annoy ing to get so many complaints about TB TIEs not being received on time, and w' want to get at the cause. Last week we re ceived the following from the postmaster a Silver: SI~vzn, S. C., August 14, 1891. EDIvon TDIEs:-Please state for the ben efit of your subscribers that the reason the; fail to get their paper sooner~ than Saturda; is because they do not call for it; it seldot reaches this office sooner than Tihursda; night, and frequently not until Frida; morning. It has just arrived this morning I make this statenment in justice to myshlf and in order that the blame may rest wher, it belongs. A. W. THAMES, Pest Master, Silver, S. C. Now, all our mail was put in tir Mannin; postoffice last wee-k Wednesday evening and the postmaster tells us it was prompitl; forarded. Where was the Silver packag' from Wednesday night to Friday morning It should have reached Silver Thursda; morning. We have referred Mr. Thames' letter to "Uncle Sam," and hope to find on where that package was. School Commissioner Ragin, of Slummer ton, told us Saturday that THE TIEs ha< not yet come to hand.

He says it is no uncomtmon thin; for him to miss TBE TIEs, but that he get all his other papers promptly. Secretary of State Tindal says he nevc gets his paper Thursday morning (as Ih ought to do regularly), but that it is Frida; or Saturday, or even later, before he get: There is alniost always something wren; withi our mtail for Sandy Grove. From Jordan and Packsville we frequeni ly get coimuplainits. Now, what i.s time matter? We want ih postmasters to 1.t us know, and get ti: reat evil corrected.

If this enterprise e cal I ibieade a success, and it can be if carefully and properly managed, it will j tend to dev-lop anng the co'ored people e of this county the desire to improve their stock of all grades, and encourage them to make a healthier growth of farm products. Every county in the State is making some -t :ffort in this direction, and it is time that something be done to show that we can and a are doing something in the good ways of life. It is also hoped that our white friends. who have always assisted us in every worthy and commendable effort, will con tribute a mite to enable us to put on exhi bition sometiing at the Southern Inter State Exposition at Raleigh, N. C. To 0 t evcryjprogressive mind it presents an in disputable and convincing argument in the niegrro's favor. The District Sunday-school convention t of the A. 1. E. Church for this county, held T ra very interesting session at Foreston last week. Quite a number of persons were there from Manning. Rev. W. D. Chappelle is Presiding Elder. Revs. Thos. Brown and M. M. Martin are in town; the latter to attend the Odd Fellows meeting. Miss Florence A. Clyde, a graduate of Avery Institute, of June last, is visiting friends in town. Miss Carrie Plumean, of Charleston, is visiting Rev. Whitehead and family. Rev. J. C. Simmons and A. J. Jefferson, gave a panoraiaic exhibition at Trinity A. M. E. church this week. Mr. Walter L. Lawrence, also a graduate of Avery Institute, is carrying on the barber 0 business of Barber Hamilton, who is sick. t A member of the Manning baseball club mildly protests against being referred to as Aunt "Hagar's Chil'un," although there t, might be a slight relation. He wishes to discountenance his ancestry. ti A number of our colored citizens some tine ago invested in the National Capital Building and Loan Association, of Chicago, which has recently come to grief. Some had as many as eight shares, and others two and four. The moral of this is that it is best to invest in those business enter prises near home, and of which you know something, and not be misguided by such t ignes fatui. In fact, our great fault is that we are too easily influenced to believe in every and all kinds of mush-room repre- s sentations, and do not, as intelligent people, i1 investigate before enlisting. Probably it n is owing to the fact that our minds have not had the great benefit of that training which il come through an ancestry of intelligent c minds. Credality is a prevalent evil; out side glitter and paraphernalia influence our poor people to an alarming extent. Men of the other race almost by intuition reach 3 an unerring corclusion as to the character r - of a thing. Time and educating influences, and con - tact will develop a hardier mental race, and i that native equality of men first instituted f - will be made more apparent. Letter From Sheriff Bradhiam. GLExNx Sir~raos, S. C., August 17th, 1891. EDrroi DVAIXi Tinas:-We left Man- i ning ou the morning of the 12th inst, and e arrived at this place on the sane day about tive o'clock. There was a great crowd on the ste'ton we travee- with, seven coaches, all clevery lilled, not erowded, however. The Atlantic Cat Line, with its usual - wisdom and foresight, sent that geniai and - clever gentleman, Capt. W. G. Webb. t,'. - look after the safety anl coifort of their friends, so we all were care.d or, and eachl t in due season was put down at his or her destination. We left the train at Rich Hill, 1 just six miles from this place, and found carriages waiting to take us to the Springs 1 for just one dollar apiece. The carriage I Iwhich fell to our lot was driven by a Mr. f -Griflin. a very clever gentlemnan he was, and e. with "Dexter and Alex," we made the trip i in a short tume. The section of country we traveled over is hilly and broken, most of e t he farms we passed are cultivated by ten ants. The crops are very promising, but about three weeks later than ours. I don't think from what I see that a full crop can be made.t We meet people here from all sections, E - representing almost all of the Southern ~ tStates, and they talk freely. I find very -few opposed to free silver, none opposed t~or Sincrease of the circulation of currency, and1 none opposed to reduction of the tariff ; all - pretty wvell opposed to sub-treasury, and C -yet they say wve must have relief. In fact, Sthere's not as much difference of opinion as Ssome people think. One man offers the - following in lieu of the sub-treasury: "Let the general government loan the States Swhat money they need, .ay South Carolina's - loan is $5,000,000, and let the State, through C the State bank, loan this incney to the peo pie at two per cent. per annunm. Abolish the national banks, and secure to the States their severeignty and independence, andt then each State would furnish that relief ~ needed to her people." From what I hear our honest and much beloved ex-president will not be in the race in "J2. Vilas, of Wisconsin, Palmer, of Il- r linois, Gray, of Indiana, and Campbell, of Ohio, 'last, 1.d wA, least," are the comiing r men. I fiad also that Tillman is still in~ 9 the hearts of the peCople, and will have ant easy job in '92 to continue his work of re form. I understand the reports which will be submitted by his eabinet will make a fine showving, and that another year it will be simply grand. So niay it be. Col. Keitt, of Newberry, is here talking and Stalking-one can hardly tell what he wants. tI think he will be all right at the proper ttime, and that Newberry, with her sister counties, will give the grand old Democrat ic party the grandest victory she has ever had in South Carolina. - On Sunday I went to church and heard a fine sermon from a MIr. James, a Presbyte rian mioister. A large crowd attend~ed, but - I doubt very much if the minister had per t sonal acquaintance wiith fifty persons pres ent. I am iniproving some, but not as fast - as I hoped for. I had a chill the second day I got here, but hope, with the help of SGlenn Springs water and rest, to get en-J tirely clear of those miserable things which have been followving me for the last month ,or two. We will return on Friday next, in .order that we umy attend the meeting of the dear old Sprott Guards on the 22d. Yours truly, e WIIAT IT DOES.f Hood 's Sarsaparilla 1.1 Purifis the blood. 2.

There were no speeches by tstinguished speak rs, but sceveral tarmers ave their experience of past years, thei xperiments and the results. The priz r the best acre of' cotton and also for the st acre of corn was awarded to Mr. D. W. rown. His colton 'eas estimated at 3,000( ounds seed cotton, and corn at fifty bush ls. To Mr. R. L.

The brusque and fussy impulse of these ays of false impression woul rate down ao s worthless because one is unworthy. As if cre were no motes in sunbeams Or com ts among stars !

Jackson, Salem, Mass., writes: "I have used Ayer's Hair Vigor for a number of years, and it has always given me satisfaction. It is an ex cellent dressing, prevents the hair from turning gray, insures its vigorous growth, and keeps the scalp white and clean."

I bought a bottle ofAyer's Hair Vigor, and, after using only part of it, my head was covered with a heavy growth of hair" Thomas Munday, Sharon Grove, Ky. , 'Ayer's Hair Vigor1 Prepared by Dr. J.C.
