THE MANNIG TMES.' Manniig, S. C. S. A. NETTLES, Editor. WZDVIRDAYI INVZKBf 11 1001, Last Friday Hon. W. J. Talbert de livered an address to an audience in the court house numbering about two hundred, which was a large audience considering the fact that the notice of the meeting was short. The Alliance in this county is not making any wild or noisy demonstrations, but is stead ily going on, despite the opposition and obstacles thrown in its way. There will be two other public meet ings in this county as soon as speak era can be procured, and it is to be hoped that a more extended notice will be given of the time and place, so that the speakers will be greeted with large and enthusiastic audiences. "Gala Week" in Charleston last week is said to have been a very poor affair. It was the first of these occa sions we ever attended, and we saw nothing to be specially proud of. The hotels and boarding houses were ad vertised to furnish board and lodg ings at reduced rates, but there was the usual element of human depravity exhibited, and the prices were as high as oould be gotten. We arrived in the city at one o'clock Wednesday night, and found the first two hotels we went to full to overflowing. We were directed toa private house, how ever, where we were very comfortably quartered. The weather was beauti ful and delightful, and everybody seemed to be having a good time. We attended Paine's spectacular show of "Paris from Empire to Com mune," and it was one of the best things we ever saw in our life. What we saw there fully repaid us for our trip to Charleston. Loafingis one of the most disgust ing and deleterious practices of the day, and is not confined to the male sex only. Loafing does not necessa rily mean that the person must be on the street, but he or she may loaf at hdfte. It means to spend one's time in idle talk or doing nothing. It means a neglect of one's regular bus iness. The girl that spends her time idling about the house, leaving moth er to do all the housework while she bangs on the piano or reads some sily novel, is equally as guilty of loaf ing as the old bummer who beats all hisdrinks. Boys should be kept off the street except when they have bus ines; there are too many evil things for them to see and hear. Occasion ally we see a professional man neg lecting his regular work and loafing about,andit ay be set down as an axiom that the preacher, teacher, or lawyer who is frequently seen loafing in the streets instead of being in his *study or c'ffice, making preparation for his life work, is a failure, and will never mount high on the ladder of ifame. Yesterday was election day in a Snumber of States, and Democracy -met with success in most of them. The States wherein the most interest lay were New York, Massachusetts, Ohio, and Iowa. In New York, Ohio, and Massaebu -setts the political warfare was carried on with great energy. Candidates were put forward representing the na tional issues, and upon these issues the bat tle was fought. Roswell P. Flower and Jacob S. Fassmett were the candidates of the -two parties in the .Empire State. .-.lower defeated his Republican op *ponenit by about twenty thousand majority. * In Massachusetts Governor Russell defeated his Republican antagonist, the Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge, by .about 5,000 majority. In Ohio, where the fight was made on the tariff and silver questions, Mc Kinley, Republican, defeated Camp bell by about 15,000. The returns from this State are not all in yet, but the Associated Press despatches say that at midnight last night Campbell conceded McKinley's election. . In Iowa the Republicans dropped all issues of importance, and endeav ored to capture the government by offering the people, as the party's -stock in trade, hatred, slander, and the vilification of the South. This the people refused to tolerate, and showed their disapproval of cowardly issues by electing Governor Boies and his entire Democratic cabinet. The result of this grand victory was cele brated last night with demonstrations of joy from the mouths of booming -cannon. The elections in Virginia, Mary land, and New Jersey were all Demo cratic sucees.o The churches most of them say it is wrong to attend theatres, circuses, and such, and we in the main agree with them, for most of such places of amusement have a demoralizing in fluence upon the mind and morals. There is, however, a line to be drawn somewhere, for all amusements are Dot immoral or harmful, but on the contrary many of them are beneficial. Pain's spectacular play in Charleston last week was a combination of the theatre and circus, and yet after a close and critical watch of everything dlone there, we are free to say that it was not only not hurtful, but in every respect beneficial. It gave a broader and1 grander view of the capabilities of mian, and there was not a single demoralizing act. In our judgment the great evil to man is not from at tending standard plays and theatres (of course we exclude all "female minstrel troupes for men only," and such plays as are evidently demoral iinrg or calculated to debase man's nobler feelings), but it comes more from the ball room and "high-toned" social gatherings, where our beautiful and lovely women appear in costume largely exposing their person to the gaze of their male companions. "Hands off" should be woman's mot to, but, instead, we are told that of ten in the fashionable ball rooms, lovely women with beautiful form, face, and figure, and in dresses in *which it is evident that after having bought the material the skirt was first made, and then there was only half enough material left for the body, allow themselves in the mazes of the voniousn ance, to be tightly em :raced by their companions, and with his arm around her tapering waist and her cheek gently resting on bis manly shoulder, hour after hour is spent in these voluptuous pleasures. Here, especially, is the great moral danger to society. If this evil be cor rected; if woman is taught that it is not right and proper to allow man to toy with her, whether in the ball room or parlor, then will the evil of theatre-going be greatly diminished. An historical play, or other play where the language and gestures are pure, cannot but be elevating and beneficial. The Weight of a Dollar Bill. [From a Washington Letter.] In the treasury here one day this week the question came up as to the weight of a $1 bill. Scales of perfect accuracy were brought into requisi tion, and the surprising discovery was made that twenty-seven $1 notes weighed exactly as much as a twenty dollar gold piece. The latter just balances 540 grains. However, the bills weighed were perfectly crisp and new. Trial made with soiled notes, such as come in every day for re demption, showed that twenty-seven of them weighed considerably more than the twenty-dollar coin. Every paper dollar on its way through the world continually accumulates dirt, perspiration, and grease, so that after a year or more of use it is perceptibly heavier.

Th6 meeting held in the interest of solic. iting exhibits from our colored citizens for the Raleigh Exposition was addressed by Miss Halle Q. Brown, the lady State com missioner. Being a lady of remarkable force and vigor, and refined manners, and withal intellectual, she brought to bear very interesting facts relative to the neces sity of the colored people showing them. selves as improving and developing capaci ty in the past years of freedom. Quite an interest was created, and now it is hoped something may be collected to be for. warded. Miss Brown is also an elocutionist of a very high order, having graduated at Wil berforce University. She studied and graduated in elocution at the Chautauqua school of elocution, and has traveled very extensively. She is highly endorsed by representative men throughout the country for the position of solicitor of exposition. Among the endorsements are letters from Gov. Campbell and Win. McKinley, of Ohio. She recited very charmingly, "How he saved St. Michaels," "She would be a mason," "Aunt Jemima's courtship," "The last hymn," "The elf child," -"The kitchen clock," "Brother Watkins." The admis sion fee was .15 eent-. $8.40 was realized for the exposition.

Catarrh is a blood or constitutional disease, and in order to cure it you have to take internal remedies. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken in ternally, and acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Cure is no quack ipedicine. It was prescribed by one of the best physicians in this country for years, and is a regular prescription. It is composed of the best tonics known, com bined with the best blood purifiers, acting directly on the mueous surfaces. The per fet combination of the two ingredients is what produces such wonderful results in curing catarrh. Send for testimonials free. F. J.

Read the folnowing: "I have been troubled with dyspepsia. I had but little appetite, and what I did eat distressed me,or did me little good. In an hour after eatng I would experience a faintness or tired, all-gone feeling, as though I had not eaten anything.' Hood's Sarsaparilla did me an immense amount of good. It gave me an appetite, and my food relished and satisfied the craving I had previously experienced. It relieved me of that faint, tired,1 al-gone feeling:.
