THE MANNIG TIMES. 3MAMi-0i711, 0. C S. A. NETTLES, Editor. The Taxes We Paid. Comptroller-General Ellerbee was in town last Monday, and made a set tlement with the treasurer, auditor, school commissioner, and county commisioners. He told us the set tlement was very satisfactory. We have been furnished with the follow ing figures, which will give a fair idea of what taxes the people paid last year. The total value of the property in the county, as abstracted on the auditor's books, was $2,372, 235, and the total levy was 11 3-4 mills, of which 5 1-4 mills was for State purposes; 41-2 mills for county purposes; and 2 mills for school pur poses: DR.

An Instigator of Evil. The following purports to be the snai features of a circular issue] by CoAl R. M. Humphrey, general super "uendet of the colored farmers' Al hance: Whereas, the planters and speculators ;above mentioned are firm in their demand thaat you pick at starvation wages as offered by them, and leave your fam'lies to suffer iearful consequences, placing to your ac count the present low price of their cotton; SAnd whereas, above six hundred thous -n.ad pickera already have bound themselves together in sacred covenant to pick no cot 4t2n for anyone except their own before about November 1, at less than one dollar y )er one hundred jpounds, with board; nd, whereas, your success depends up en your united action, now Therefore,YI, R.M. Humphrey, by virtue of anthonity is me vested, do issue this, my solemn prenmin being the 12th day of ptbe,1891, it being Saturday, as the - dyupon which all oar people shall cease from and absolutely stop picking cotton, exeept their own, and shall pick no more 6.bdeore about November 1. unless their just demands for wages shall be sooner acceded to by planters and others interested. SCol. Humphrey is originally from Ethis county, born and reared within a few -miles of this town, but if it is true that he did issue the above cir enlarhe should be stigmatized as a villain of the deepest dye. No words in the English language can be found thtwill express sufficiently the con tempt we have for the man that will deliberately pen such a dastardly eitagainst the people of his own The heart that pulsates with such damnable nfamy would not hesitate to go out under the cover of night to mmit murder and arson; nor would such a man hesitate to unearth the :1 ashes of his dead father and mother -.and sell them for a few dollars and cents. It is just such characters that keep the colored people in a state of dis content. They advise them to do what they themselves are too coward ly to attempt, and whenutheyfmd the poor, ignorant wretches have gotten into trouble, they crawl away like sheep-stealing dogs, and leave them to extricate themselves from the trouble as best they can. A Big Tempest in a Little Teapot. In connection with two other items in our issue of Aug. 26th, we publish ed the following paragraph, under the heading of Foreston News: A case of assault was tried yester day at Foreston before Trial Justice Cantey. John Wilson, who is abouf fourteen years old, was attacked on the street by Cadet Tom Sparks, who is a year or two older, and was given a beating. One of the witnesses also testified that he saw a pair of knucks in Sparks's posession. As the case -had a pretty ugly appearance, the trial justsce fined young Sparks fifty dollars or thirty days. An appeal was taken from the' decision of the trial justice. It is also said there will .probably be one or two other indict esone of which will be for car rying concealed weapons. The editor of this paper wrote ev ery word of that paragraph himself, and got his information from the trial justice, and so told Cadet Sparks and his brother when they called on hina -one day last week to demand the au khor, and to request publication of the following card: IbTOR MANN~ING TIMES:-I ask tat you wil orrect severai mis statements in your last week's paper in reference to the difficulty at For eston between my broti er, Cadet Tom Sparks, and you.-g .John Wilson, which terminated in a trial before Trial Justice Cantey. Tom Sparks did not attack Wilson, but was first attacked by Wilson and others, the evidence before the trial justice to the contrary notwithstand ing. Sparks is not two years the senior of Wilson. The fine was 15 days or $50, not 30 days or $50, as stated. Your informant was either ignorant of the facts in the case, or else influ enced by premeditated malice, as will be demonstrated when the matter is further judicially investigated. SAMUEL SPARKS. Mr. Cantey did not come to our of fice to volunteer this news, but came to see us on other business, and it was only in response to the news pump process that we got this fighting scrape item from him, as he seemed disinclined to talk about it. He was in a hurry, and we had to take the news, as it were, on the fly. We got a letter from Mr. Cantey yesterday, saying that Sparks wanted him to correct the statement that he (Sparks) was older than Wilson. Mr. Cantey told us that he thought Sparks was older than Wilson, probably a year or so, and that he thought Wil son was about fourteen years of age. Mr. Cantey writes us: You may have asked me about the ages of the two boys and I g rie my idea about it but I could not say and did not say that Sparks was two years older than Wilson for I don't know the ages of either. Sparks claims not to be two years older than Wilson and if he wishes the public to know it and you got the impression from me that he was, I have no ob jection to the correction being made, but I don't feel called upon to make it myself. Now, we wish to say that we wrote that article, and so told Mr. Sparks. We consider the slight difference in the age of the boys, and the fact that they had a fight, and that the boy that got whipped prosecuted the other boy, as all a matter of very small importance, undeserving of no tice in a paper. The reason we had anything to say about it was because Trial Justice Cantey told us that one of the witnesses swore he saw Sparks have a pair of knucks in his posses sion. That assertion astounded us. A white boy going into a fight with another white boy with as deadly a weapon as a pair of knucks ! If Mr. Cantey believed that in this fight Sparks had on his person a pair of knucks concealed, and had fined him one hundred dollars and thirty days in jail, the full limit of the law, no complaints could have been made of excessive punishment. We understand that Sparks has since been bound over for trial at the next term of court, on the charge of carrying this pair of knucks concealed. If Mr. Sparks wishes to deny hav ing had that pair of knucks in that fight, we will publish his denial with pleasure, but everything ,else is too trivial for further notice. A Colonel by Marriage. A traveler in Texas says that he was riding along a cattle trail near the New Mexico line when he met a rather pompous looking native of the region, who introduced himself as Colonel Higgins, of Devil's River. "Were you a colonel in the Confed erate army ?" I asked. "No, sah." "On the Union side, then ?" "No, sah; never was in no wah." "Belong to the Texas -Rangers ?" "No, sah, I do not." "Ah, I see. You command one of the State militia regiments ?" "No, sah, I don't. Don't know nothing about soldiering," "Where, then, did you get the rank of colonel ?" "I'se a kunnel by marriage, sah." "By marriage ? How's that ?" "I married fhe widow of a kunnel, sh; Kunnel Thompson, of Waco." Youth's Companion. No Hair. The reason why a fly is generally monarch absolute of a bald head is because their is no heir apparent. The Disobedient Husband. Mrs. Rural (angrily:) "You prom ised me when you went up to the city last winter that you wouldn't go near Cousin Maggie's." Mr. Rural: "Y-e-s, my dear." "But you did." "I-I only took one meal there, my dear." "I knew it-I knew you had taken a meal there, or something. Murder will out." "What's happened, my dear ?" "She writes that she is coming here with her six children to stay all sum mer." Rev. Plink Plunk on Love. Love am a mighty fine ting, deah breddern, but de love dat hez to be kep alive by bein' fed on ice cream every night and trips to Coney Island in desummer on a salary ob $8 a week am a mighty po' variety ob de divine passion. He Had a Trained Stomach. "Wal," began the Missouri man, "that thar mule-" Wang ! The mule planted both feet in the speak er's stomach, knocking him through the blank side of the barn. "My heavens !" cried the tourist, "the poor fellow must be killed outright !" "Nope," answered the Kansas man, coolly, "I don't reckon it fetched him. When a man's stummick kin stand Mizzury whisky fer thurty year, it Hello! here he is now !" "Yep," con tinued the Missouri man, re-entering, "ez I was a sayin', that thar mule-" -Brooklyn Lie. Enough to Worry. Editor's Wife-"Sanctoram, you look disgusted; anything gone wrong ?" Editor-"Yes; missed the mail, and my typewriter is sick !" Editor's Wife -"Too bad to miss male and female the same day !" Rev. Plink Plunk on Ancestry. De man dat takes great pride in his ancestors, deah breddern, an' ex pecks people to honor him on dat ac count makes a great big mistake,. Many a man causes de greates' amusement to de rest ob de worl' by de way in which he rattles 'round in de shoes ob a dea.d father or grand father who wuz one ob de great men ob his day, but who took all his abil ities wif him wen he set sail for de golden shore Reflections. Watch out, and you'll discover that a bad case sometimes conceals good works. Constantly kick a dog undeservedly and he will soon deserve a kicking. A balloon carried too high by its own gas is in danger of bursting. Wisdom and folly are each such a neutral shade that most people are color blind concerning them. Beauty may sometimes be even less than skin deep, as witness a singed cat. The gayer the bubble the weaker its walls. Any prosperous baker will refute the statement that man cannot live by bread alone. Rev. Plink Plunk on.Contentment. Contentment is better dan great riches, deah breddern. De po' man can only afford to buy one watermel on, but when he buys it he's able to eat it and enjoy it, wile de rich man, dat can buy melons by the cahtload, is troubled wid a digesting apparatus dat won't allow him to eat more'n half a slice ob de juicy fruit wifout gettin' sick. Rey. Plink Plunk on Virtue. De virtue of some men, deab bred dern, an' of a great many women, too, makes me smile. It seems to me to be like de curl in a pig's tail-a good deal more for ornament than use. The Best of Friends. Ethel-Why don't you go and talk to the other girls? You know I don't care whether you go or not. Jack-Yes, I know. But I am not interesting, you know. In fact, I'm a perfect bore, and Id rather bother you than them. CLEANSES THE WHOLE SYSTEM. During the last half century there has been a wonderful development in what is known as sanitary science. It is a science that looks to the preven tion of diseases in communities through the medium of cleaqliness, and it commends itself most urgently i to the cdmmon sense of the people. Meanwhile, it should be borne in in mind that the human system stands in need of sanitation, and requires even more care than the municipal body. It is precisely here that S.S.S. takes up the work of the sanitary sci entists. It cleanses the whole system, purifies the blood, disinfects the chan nels through which it flows, and de stroys the germs of disease. It is a harmless medicine, and yet a most powerful one. It is nature's tonic remedy. Good for the Governor. Governor Tillman says that he is not fighting the Alliance, but that he is a free man, and, as such, is oppos ed to any demand of the Farmers' Alliance that will not bring the great est good to the greatest number of people. Good for the Governor. Walterboro Press and Standard. DEAFNESS CAN'T BE CURED by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mu-' cons lining of the Eustachian Tube. 'When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound ur imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out, and this tube restored to its normal condi tion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condi tion of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that we cannot cure by taking the Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. Sold by all Druggists.

Ayer's Sarsaparilla stimulates the desire for food and aids the assimilative organs in the formation of good blood and sound tissue. ] ( Erom K. . Press, Re'publican.) Rascals Who Got In. A correspondent of the the Press asks us to re-publish the names of the State treasu-I rers who nave left defalcations within the past year or two. Here are the names of the delinquent State treasurers and the amounts of their thefts so far as we know them: Churchill, of Arkansas, $80,000; Polk, Tennessee, $400,000; Vincent, Ala bama, $243,000; Tate, Kentucky, $247,000; Burke, Louisiana, $827,000; Noland, Mis souri, $32,000; Hemingway, Mississippi, $315,000; Archer, Maryland, $200,000; Woodrufi, Arkansas, $90,000. These men are all Democrats. Beyond the r emark that the Press favors turning the rascals out wherever they are found, wlhether Demo ratic or Republican, we make no comment. If you could see your own scalp through . an ordinary magnifying glass, you would be amazed at the amount of dust, dandrnff, and dead skin thereon accumulated. The-I best and most popular preparation for cleansing the scalp is Ayer's Hair Vig->r. Sunday-School Con rention. Oaxt..n, September 4.-Clarendon Coun ty Union Sunday-school Convention con vened this morning at this place. A major-I ity of the Sunday-schools in the countys were notL represented on account of the very isagreeable weather. This convention was to have convened two weeks ago, but was postponed on account of the Baptist nd Methodist meetings, which were at that time occupying the attention of the ~ people of this section. The bus.iness of the convention was completed in one day, and it was decided that there should be address s made the next day. Nearly all of the old fficers were re-elected for annther year. The next convention will be held at Jordan. After thanking the people for their hearty welcome the convention adjourned.
