THE MANNING TIMES. MraiM n ing., S. C% S. A. NETTLES. Editor. WIDAT, DZCIK11fl 2, 189L The Legislature will adjourn to morrow. The bill to establish a soldier's home in this State was killed. We see no chance for the prohibi tion bill to become a law. The Sen ate is opposed to it. Hon. Preston B. Plumb, senator from Kansas, died suddenly in Wash ington last Sunday about noon. A bill has passed both houses of the legislature, prohibiting the sale of liquors in Williamsburg county. The total tax levy for this county next year will probably be less than ten mill. That is reform that is re form. Mr. OKeefe, who since 1853 has been day door-keeper of the State House in Columbia, died last Mon day night. ' The bill to provide for a constitu tional convention, which passed the senate, was killed in the house yester day by a vote of 51 to 35. We wish each of our readers a merry Christmas, the gayest, hap pnea of all their lives, with not a shadow of sorrow to mar the joyous onnamon. South Carolina, according to the last U. S. census, has a population of 1,151,149, of which nearly two-thirds are colored. In Clarendon county there are 6,915 whites, and 16,318 colored. According to the new appropria tion bill passed by the present Legis lature. Clarendon is entitled to three members of the lower branch of the Legislature. So next year we will elect three members instead of two as heretofore. The Senate voted an appropriation of $65,000 for Clemson College, Sen ator DesChamps favoring the meas ure, but the house last Monday night killed the appropriation by a vote of a to 2. Neither of Clarendon's tives voted for the appro The house has voted to re-commit the bill passed by the Senate, making an apprQ on Of $15,000 for the World's Clumbian Exposition. It is now doubtful if the State will be officially represented at this exposi tion. After an absence of several days from the house of representatives, Dr. Woods, Clarendon's "Upas .tree" elimber, is again at his post, and yes-' terday, while a bill to liceneimmi - grh'o agntswas being discussed, hebem~ivle in a colloquy with a colored member from Beaufort, and was considerably worsted, if the re port in the News and Courier is true, which says, "That this member from Clarendon, who delights in calling himself,. a physician and practical farmer, asked the member from Beau fort f hedidn't consider it for the good of his race that they -should be protected from the railroad agents who enticed them away under mebrrelethaa man wants to make a fool of himself you can't pvent him from doing so by any kidof legislation." The State Democratic Executive -Committee has been called to meet in Columbia Jan. 5th. One of the ob jects of this meeting, it is said, is to determine what status those white men occupy, who last year bolted the regular ticket and voted for Has kell, the Independent candidate. We see no use for any such specific action. As weunderstand it, any white man may, according to the present consti tution, become a member of the Dem ocratic party by pledging himself to abide the decision of the majority. Those who last year voted for Haskell anmd the Independent ticket violated that pledge, it is true, but it is not the first time that inen have violated their solemn obligations. We think' * the pldeshould be made more adaprovision should be mahereafte- any member of a - Democratic club who violates his pledge, and goes oif after strange *gods, shall rot be allowed to vote again in a Democraitic primary until he first shall have voted a regu lar Democratic Statb ticket, but, in cass of the Independents who last year bolted the ticket, we think noth ing should be done to prevent their again joining the Democratic clubs, it they wish to. Let us doall we possibly can to bring about harmony in the party. A War Relic. On another page of ~TEE Thus will be found something over four calumns, that -will prove interesting reading.

Christmas day is next Friday. We see the signs of festivities everywhere: pa rents going from store to store, making purchases for the little ones to make their hearts glad; young men making purchases of presents for their sweet-hearts that some day they hope to call wife; young ladies giving orders for handsome milinery, and other things to make an appearance as at tractive as possible when the proper time and person comes. Our merchants are ever on the alert for just such occasions, and at this season of the year their stores are as attractive as hu man skill and ingenuity can make them. Then there is another thing, of more bene fit to our readers than a handsome arrange ment of goods. It is a grand reduction of prices. Every merchant that has his busi ness interest at heart realizes the fact that to carry over stock is a money-losing business, and it is far better to reduce the price and sell than to hold up the price and keep the goods for moth-food. Therefore, our read ers will find the merchants that advertise in the Maiisa- TIMS are made up of that business composition technically called go ahead-a-tiveness, and it is this class of men that hold the commercial interests of the town together; in other words, they are the back-bone of the town, and are constantly looking out for the commercial welfare of Manning. They start out in the right di rection to attract people here by reducing the prices of their goods, and are offering such tempting inducements for the holidays that the purchaser almost feels that 'tis Santa Claus stuffin& his stocking. We see the crowds of men and women passing to and from the stores, and feeling that we have as much right to go and look as anybody else, as long as we keep our hands in our pockets, and don't slip out of the sight of those keen-sighted clerks, we strike out to feast our eyes, and depend on charity for a like picnic for our stomach. The first place we enter is the largest store in town, and the proprietor. M1. Levi, the oldest merchant. He was standing on a raised platform near the central portion of this establishment, where he superin tended the entire manaement and at the same time received the cash and made change for the large number of purchases that were going on, and it was not surpris ing that the people were buying, because in Mr. Levi's store any.and everything that the. descendants of Adam and Eve could wish for can be found in all quantities and varie ties, but not having any money ourselves, we could do no more than pay the proprie tor of this busy establishment our respects, and in passing out reminded him that those that have plenty should give to the poor at this season of the year. We expected him, of course, to reach down in his well-laden coffers and draw out a hand-full of the filthy lucre and bid us take it to make our poor miserable heart glad, but disppointment is our lot, and instead of giving as what we expected, he gave us advice to mind our own business, and we might have plenty. We did not take kindly to his suggestion, so went across the street to Louis Loyn's two-storybrick establishment, and worked our way through the crowd. We found the proprietor and his whole force of clerks busy as they could be-some in the act of showing goods, and others wrapping up the purchases. Everybody connected with the store was beingin smiles, and at regular intervals the tinki of the silver and the rustling of the bills came upon the ear from the direction of the drawer. Mr. Jake Mo Leod, the head salesman, even stopped to shake hands with us, and in his kind con sideration asked us to make a -archase, but we understood it; he did not want us to feel slighted, and then his quick ear caught the sound ot a silver dollar that some dar key had just dropped on the counter, and in less time than it takes to tell it he had the dollar in his hand, and was wrapping up some dry goods, thus showingithat in a busy store like this a fellow on the rounds for a Christmas present stands a poor show, because he is always reminded that 'tis bus iness before pleasure. We bade the gentlemen in this store adieu, and sought further to gratify our cu riosity. We came to 31. Kalisky's store, where we found this gentleman, like the oth ers, busy expatiating on the newest arrival of Christmas goods. He wears the happy smile of one who is gratified with the amount of goods that he is selling. A few steps further brought us in the store of B. A. Johnson, and here we found him and his polite clerks serving a number of housewives who were purchasing the good things of life for a Christmas dinner. We next turned our attention to Dinkins & Co.'s drug store, and there found a mag nificenet lot of beautiful ornaments in the shape of vases, toiletnovelties, perfumeries, &c. They also? have a full supply of every thing on hand to relieve the, suffermng mor tals that indiscreetly over-eat themselves because 'tis Chrs,,mas. Next door, in one of the handsome brick iron-front stL :es, occupied by Mr. Jacob Prodovsky, our attention was attracted by a very tempting display in the windows of fruits, nuts, confectionery, and a lot of oth er nice things. We stopped and gazed with a hungry look, and wished that we were as fortunate as the crowd within who were making extensive purchases. Horton, Burgess, & Co.'s is the adjoining store, and for artistic display, and graceful arrangenment of goods, this store is hard to beat. Their stock of dress goods is certain ly beautiful, and their trimming depart ment is complete; in other words, this firn have successfully studied the art of catching the eye of the ladies, and from the number of fine dresses they are selling, we expect to see lots of ladies during the holidays in new dresses. Another attractive feature in this store is their patent shoe-button fastener. Every pair of shoes purchased from them will have the buttons re-fastened with out extra charge. At S. A. Rigby's we found Santa Glaus making it his headquarters, and a long ta ble, running nearly the full length of the store, is full of the prettiest kind of toys. Here is the place to get dolls, horns, wag ons, marbles, blocks, picture books, vases, tea sets, and hundreds of other things to delight the little ones; besides his stock of general merchandise was never more corn plete, and with the polite corps of salesmen, everybody can receive prompt attention, even during the rush. A few doors beldw Rigby's Mrs. S. M1. Clarkson has her store full of the latest nov elties in the millinery line: beautiful hats for ladies and children, ribbons and laces in all qualities and quantities, and a mag nificent uine of New Year's cards and toys. Across the street in the Leonard building W. M. Karesh has all kinds of fruit and candies, and a full supply of everything in the clothing anid shoe lines. Eddie Thamess store is full of fruit, veg etables, and confectionery, and a good sup ply of everything can be purchased for a Christmas dinner. You can also get a hand some vase, or a picture frame for a Christ mas present. Dr. W. M1. Brockinton's drug store has also been replenished for the holidays. He has a full line of tbilet goods, perfumery, confectionery, and a lot of handsome novel ties for presents. He makes a specialty of fine candies for children and ladi -, and of exquisitely flavored cigars for t'ae gentle men. At Sires andiChandler's was found a large and carefully selected stock of furniture, and of such goods as are usually found in a furniture store. Hood's Sarsaparilla Is a peculiar medicine.

EDrron Mero Tums:-I have jus seen an article in your last paper asking in formation as to why a change was made b: me, as agent of state lands, in the amoun of purchase money of a tract of 1909 acres from fifty cents per acre, the amount bid to seventeen cents. The facts are these The land in question was purchased las spring by J. D. Lacy, who, when he fount it had not been on tLe tax books, reporte( it to me for the purpose of having it sold t4 clear the title. Mr. Barron as his agent bough it in at the sale August 3d but as there wa some doubt as to the line dividing it from the lands of Sinkler it was advertised agaii and sold on last sale day. The costs, charges taxes, etc., on it amounted to 17 cents pe acre, which was all the owner was oblige< to pay. This he could have done withou a sale, but preferred to have it sold so as t get a new title. 1 trust this explanation will satisfy you correspondent, so that if he wishes to pu chase abandoned lands he can buy wit, safety.

There is a certain dining set il Philadelphia, four-fifths of whom forn almost every private dinner of promi nence. You give me the name of th dinner and the number of the guest and I'll call the turn on who wer present. Well, of course, MacVeag] was present at this dinner and th Ex-Attorney General sat next to th, Archbishop. During the evening th subject of railway passes was brough up very naturally, when ,the Arch bishop said that he never travelle< on arailroad pass in all his life an< had never been offered one. 0 course this singular statement at tracted the attention of Col. McClure Clayton McMichel, Wayne MacVeag and the rest, and caused a genera smile of wonderment. '"Why, my dear archbishop,' sai< MacVeagh, 'you have missed one o the freal pleasures of life, as she i known in Philadelphia.' " 'The sensation of traveling on i pass would certainly be new to me, said His Grace. "'I'll have to see Mr. George W Boyd, of the Pennsylvania Road about this,' said MacVeagh, 'and usi my influence toward having this over sight corrected.' "'Really,' replied the Archbishop 'I "'Oh, that's all right,' interrupte( MaeVeagh. 'You can use your influ ence to get me a pass over the roa you are supposed to control in i measure.'
