THE MANIG TIMI Mam i xxg S. 40 S. A. NETTLES. Editor. THE COUNTY IS OUT OF DEBT. The $1200 paid into the county treasury last week for cotton seed li censes proved a great blessing to the county commissioners. They needed just about that sum to wipe out all the past indebtedness of every kind of this county, and last Saturday they paid off dollar for dollar every claim presented to them, that had been ap proved prior to the present fiscal year commencing Nov. 1, 1890. Our county has been laboring un der a big debt ever since the Demo cratic party came into posession of things, and we doubt if the county has been out of debt since the war. But we are out of debt now! The present board of county commission ers are to be felicitated upon the ad mirable way they have managed coun ty financial affairs, and the people owe them a debt of gratitude for their economical management. And, by way of parenthesis, we must not fail to include the name of Mr. E. Con yers Horton, who was a member of the board the term immediately pre ceding the present. The board then consisted of Way, Hobbs, and Horton; it now consists of T. Adams Way, W. H. H. Hobbs, and L. T. Fischer. These four gentlemen, who for the past three years have been our financial agents, are due great praise, and the county is aware of the But there is another person to whom belongs no little credit in this matter, and who for four years work ed faithfully and ceaselessly to con summate the present condition of things. We refer to Capt. D. J. Bradham, who for four years was our county auditor, and who has done -.more to put the county where it now linancially is, than any other dozen men in the county. He was in a po sition (auditor) where he could bene fit the county, and he most faithfully worked in the interest of the public ood, even at the sacrifice of his bealth. He saw that no property es caped taxation, and that every dollar collected was duly and properly ac counted for. He labored hard too to keep the tax levy down as low as it was, and to him alone belongs the credit of a ten mill tax levy for this county this year. Such officers as Auditor Daniel J. Bradham sometimes in the proper discharge of their duties make ene mies, and are hated by some ambi tions persons who think they should rule the world and who cannot brook anyone who will not fawningly bow1 to their dictation, but then such men as Bradham are after all the great benefactors of the human family. SLet us all be truly thankful that the county is out of debt, and hope >that hereafterwe shall be able to pay a's we go. ~'Trial Justice Mahoney Reinstated, Not Reappointed. *Last Wednesday Governor Tillman examined the papers of the "Mahoney trial," and, upon the advice of Attor-! n2iey-General Pope, he instructed the S erety of State to send to Mr. Ma-! honey a notice that he was appointed trial jostice, andi that he must file a bond, take the oath, and get a com mission. In other words, he must Spzoceed as if he had never been trial juistice. This new commission, ac cording to the old law, would have Sbeen of force only till the next session, of the legislature, when the appoint ment ouldhave been subject to con-1 ' aionorrejection by the senate; but under the new law, passed last December, the governor has no power to revoke a trial justice's commission! except by the advice of the senate. ~~dthe new commission itself would hiave been a nullity, and Mr. Maho ney's official acts performed there. under would have been illegal. Mr. Mahoney's attorney, Mr. M. 0. t afluchat, was unwilling for the ten ar'ue of office to be in this uncertain Sstate; and he therefore wrote to the goeror calling his attention to the Tegovernor again took the mat ~2ter under consideration, and after careful investigation, he camne to the conclusion that Mr. Mahoney was not really and legally removed from his '.offie, and in consequence does not1 - eed a reappointment, but holds over Son his old commission. The govern-, or has so written Mr. Mahoney, and '~ he is again invested with all thie dig 57nity of the office of a trial justice in and for the county of Clarendon, to ?enjoy the honor and profits and emo: umnsof his office until his old com isinexpires, or something else happens to disqualify the judge from being a judge.1 A Bomb for the Barkeepers. FLORENCE, Sep. 22.-No little excitement was caused in town to-day by the explosion or a bombshell set by some mem bers of the Good Templars for the barkeepers. Eleveni out of the twelve liquor sellers in the city -were arraigned before the grand jury to-day charged with violating the law in regard to 1 putting screens before their counters, and a true bill, was found in every case. The twelfth man was not reported because hisif fi~rst name could not be learned, his busi ness being done under his surname only. Most of the barkeepers have since re moved the screens. This action took them completely by surprise, the law relating to 4 screens being looked upon as a dead letter. - It is probable that the case will be taken to) -the Supreme Cour't. Feeling runs very high *in thematter. The city council has already served notice on the barkeepe~rs that Sun day liquor selling must be stopped. County Alliance Next Week. MANING, S.

The Carabella cigar, hand made, of pure Havana tobacco, is the best five cent ci rar ever sold in Manning, for sale only at Brockinton's drug store. Last Friday, about two o'clock, a fire in the lint box of Mr. J. H. Johnson's gin, near Foreston. spread so rapidly that in a few minutes the gin house, two gins, press, three bales of seed cotton and a grist mill were in ashes. A match or gun cap in the cotton that was being ginned was the cause. Loss about $400; no insurance. Remember! We have the finest line of cigars in town.

Yours very respectfnlly, SIRES & CHANDLERl. A True Reformer. MANNI~G, Sep. 17.--In my corre'spon dece in to-day's Wl'd, it is stated that "the treasurer last year collected within 20 per cent. of all the taxes." It should have been "wvithin 2 per cent." Our county has always collected within 10 per cent., but this year it was nearly a complete col lection of the tax assessment. Very much of the credit of this very fine showing is due to the efiforts of Sheriff D. JT. Bradham, who was then auditor of the county. Capt. Bradham was auditor for four yed~rs, and he did more to get the county out of finan cial entanglement, and to put it oa a solid business basis, than was ever done be-fore by any set of men. He is regarded in this :unty as the watch dog of p~ublic affairs. No matter what you want printed, from a isiting card to a mammoth poster, the 'rImEs office will give you neat work at low st prices.

DEAFNESS CAN'T BE CURZED y local applications, as they cannot reach he diseased portion of the ear. There is >ly one way to cure deafness, and that is )y constitutional remedies. Deafness is :aused by an inflamed condition of the mu :ous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When his tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling ;ound ur imperfect hearing, and when it is tirely closed deafness is the result, and mless the inflammation can be taken out, ad this tube restored to its normal condi ion, hearing will be destroyed forever; rine cases out of ten are cansed by catarrh, rhich is nothing but an inflamed condi ion of the mucous surfaces.
