THE MANNING TIMS. . A. NETTLES. Editor. Prohibition in the State. On another page will be found a let ter from Rev. H. F. Chreitzburg, and a copy of as petition to the Legisla Aure to prohibit the sale of spiritous liquors in the State. Often when a man is approached to sign a temper ance petition, or asked to vote the dry" ticket, he replies tha the does not 'believe in local restriction, bat that he is- opposed to the sale and use of whisky, and would gladly support a prohibition movement. Tnat is what the Good Tempi-s of this State are now working for, and what they have a bright hope of attaining. A prohibition bill was introduced pur y late in the last session of the ' ure, so that it would come up ong the first things the next sea sion. - We feel confident that the en tire Claiendon delegation will sup port this movement, and unless the --liquor men make unusual efforts the bill will receive such strong support all over the State that it will certainly pass. We have several petitions and will be glad to furnish them to any -,xne who will interest themselves in securing names. Let us all work to vether with a will and with a deter mination to succeed, and success is sre. __ SamI No Pay; No Paper. Oar subscribers will p -e bear in mind that THE HAI,-lJG T.]Ers is run on a strictly cash basis. We do not send it out just for fun. We publish all the county news we can get hold of; we publish all legal and official advertisements; we publish the Alli ance news; we keep our readers posted generally; we publish adver tisements for nearly all the leading merchants in Manning and Sumter, and for a great many of the best bouses in Charleston; we endeavor to make Tsz Tis a necessity in every home in Clarendon. For all this we charge only $1.50 a year, scarcely three cents a week, but we insist that we shall get our money before we deliver the goods. We gave the credit system a thorough trial, but it didn't work. We have for two years tried the cash system and it works like a charm. We have more subscribers than when we ran en the credit basis, and we make some money out of it. Before all the p t went to the dead-beat. Now i. the dead beat has to get his reading second hand and it makes him feel sheepish to read a borrowed paper. We want to keep every subscriber we-have and to get more, but unless Sthe money comes the name will have to come of.~ We dislike to cut off a name;it hurts us awfully: but then % s ourrladwhn the time is Watch your dates, and before the time is out send us a renewal. Our friend, the New and Courier, a dispoeed to besarcastic and slightly - 'iciousain its comments on the posi tion of the Greenville News regarding the sub-treasury fight and remarks that our platform is simply to "follow the crowd." [s our esteemed friend addled or rattled or has it just been born into these United States of America with out knowledge of anything? Follow ing the crowd means obeying the will -of the majority and that is the funda mental principle of our government -and the baass of all party organization. We are compelled to follow the crowd. The law says we must. We have been following the crowd in accepting Re publican governments during the last thirty years. In the South many of -our best men who believed in the Union followed the crowd into seces -son ; in this State many followed the crowd into the straightout movement of 1876 and have been following it ever since. The News and Courier followed the crowd in swallowing 'Pillman and now seems to like the Staste of him. We don't and don't K-pretend to. This newspaper is a white man's newspaper first and a Democratic newspaper afterward, so far as South Carolina is concerned. If wehad to choose between these two eburses 'we would rather follow the crowd of white men into the sub treasury-foolish, false and dangerous as we believe it to be-than to follow, lead, or gowith the crowd of negroes into radicalism or stand aside and let -them carry the State there. We are sure the News and Courier will follow the crowd when the time comes, as it has always done. It talked strongly of 4'primnary or split" last year, but fell meekly into ranks. The difference between us is that the Greenville News says what it is going to do and does it, while our friend at Charleston threatens to do things and doesn't do them. We believe we can whip the sub treasury inside the Ddmocratic party _-the orgn'ized white manhood of the State. We are going to try todo it if we live. We are not going out side the party todo it. We are not going to make any bluffs and if we -have to eat more crow as a matter of duty to the public and common sense we will do that, too.-Greenville News. The Fair. The colored people of this community de serve a great deal of praise for the courage displayed in their efforts to have an agricul tural and meanical fair at this place. They bcjin to-day and should have the eecoalragementof everybody. This is their first attempt and tbey have gone to consid erable expense and trouble. It is to be hoped that when their fair is over they will feel encouraged to continue the good work. A county fair does an immense amount of good, it encourages the farmer to strive to excell his neighbor and it makes the me chanic make finer strokes and strike heavier blows in order that he can display his me chanical genins. It does the town good by bringing peo ple to it, and as they flock here to see the sights of the fair, they go back home with~ the goods and wares of our merchants. Our eshldgive encouragement to any 'gtat will have a tendency to benefit the town, and the colored people's agricnl tural fair association is making an effort in that direction. No matter what you want printed, from a visiting card to a mammoth poster, the Tixas office will give you neat work at low Local News.

He be- re came so full of admiration and whisky that al he imagined he was traveling on a slugging tour and tried to create a disturbance at th Bradham's mill. Policeman Davis inter rupted his in.. resting little game by arrest- is ing him and taking him toward the guard- a house. As soon as the man realized what gc was the matter he stopped and refused to go further. The policeman slapped his steel nippers on him which proved such a suc essful persuader that the Forestonian was locked up and his name it was Dennis.

For months past sickness has been the hi cause of one of our merchants-withdrawing his personal attention from business, but with good attention and needed rest he is renewed in health and ready to enter the commercial race with his competitors. The merchant we speak of is Mr. Louis Loyns, who has recently placed in his large and handsome store, a very heavy and attractive stock of every thing in the general mercan tile line. Mr. Loyns is making every ef fort to induce the people to visit his store. He has in his employ experienced and well known salesmen, who will give those visit ing the establishment a hearty welcome and polite attention. &rATE OF Om~o, CrrY or ToLEno, Luca.s Courrr. Frank J.

S a Santee Baptist Association. g This body met last Thursday with the I Baptist Church at Bishopville and adjourn- ti ed on Sunday night. All the ministers of the association were present, except two,a making nine in attendance. Rev. Mr. C Mahoney, we hear, was detained at home 0: in consequence of the weakness of age. A d fitting tribute was paid to him at the meet-c ing, and resolutions passed showing how . high a place he occupies in the esteem of ii his brethren. The reports from the churches e were generally good and, in some cases, b were excellent. Over $2,500 were con tabuted during the past year to mission and education, two thousand spent on t ehurch building and repairing, while, at the same time, the work at home was sus tained and carri'ed on. In membership a there was a gain of nearly 200. All the churches have been supplied with pastors g during the year, and the outlook for the n coming year is full of cheer. e The Baptist of the state expect to open an Orphanage at Greenwood early in 1892, and the meeting at Bishopville added three 8 hundred dollars to the building fund which is now being used as fast as raised, to erect cottages for the use of the Orphanage. Several gentlemen from abroad were pres ent, to represent the different benevolent ' causes to which the Baptists are contribut ing, and to all of them generous help was extended. Col. Hoyt asked for four hun dred dollars for the Furman Memorial Fund, and the churchies readily subscribed The meeting next year will be held with the church at Manning.-Sumnter Freeman, jr Oct. 13.

'hose interested in the canning factory >ject will feel encouraged .when they rn of the good results obtained from a ' e institution at Laurens. A few ener ie people took the matter in hand at that wee and in twelve months made a report a clear profit of 25 per cent. [f such an enormous profit can be made the canning business at Laurens we see reason why Manning cannot do like so, because the market for the goods med out is not local. The whole world a market for the goo<' and the supply is equal to the deLland. therefore a can ng factory properly equipped and man ed is bound to bring about good results the investors and at the same time help g others who are perhaps not as well sup ied with this world's goods. We need some kind of manufacturing in istries here to place our town in line with her towns, some of wLich have only sprung to existence since the war, while others e much older, but whose growth was held ck by the lack of enterprise. As soon as rew enterprising people took hold of the ins and pushed forward with nanufac ring industries the town took on a new owth, population increased, more indus es were put in operation, property be me valuable and the town was on a boom. Manning can do the same thing if the ople want to. They can, by pulling to ther, accomplish wonders, and they can d will by remaining apart and divided ep the town from progressing. There is scarcely a day that we do not see bere a charter for some kind of a faegry is sued from the office of the Secretary of ate, and some time ago the Netws and wrier published a statement of the in -ease of manufacturing industries through it the State, but we failed to see anything om our town. Who is to blame for it? hv, of course, the citizens themselves. they would meet and confide in each her and go to work with a purpose of im roving the town, success would be the re ilt and in a short space of time Manning ould have an increase of population. The sy hammer and saw would be heard on I sides and the lots that are now being ;ed for cow pastures would be converted to flower gardens with handsome resi mces in the centre of them. 0 New Hats for the Ladies.
