On account of being forced to print out paper elsewhere until our press arrives we have not made any changes on our mailing galleys.

The work on the Girl's State Col lege is progressing nicely. and it is the desire of Governot Tillman for this iustitution to be finished before he retires from tihe gubernatorial chair.

He was a member of the Methodist church, and took considerable interesi in public affairs, and was highly esteemed by his acquaintances. He left a wife and four children. Read the adlvertisement of D. 3. Chandler. of Sumter, in another col umn. He is selling out his entire stock to make room for spring goods. D. J. Chandler is a thorough going merchant. He believes in the doc trine of clearing out his stock every season and after practical lexpenience has found that to do so is mnore profit able than packing the goods away mn camplhor. When you go to Sumter and need anything in his line call on~ ,him. Philadelphia red and white onion sets, at Dinkins &-Co's. Last Wednesday night the Wilson depot was broken mnto andl robbed.

From several sources we hear com plaints of people not receiving their Times regularly. WVe have called at ten tion to this matter several times, and for awhile it would have the desired effect. Now we give fair notice, if our subscribers are forced to complain of this matter any more we will have to report the matter to , the post office authorities. The peo ple that pay their money for the paper should not be imposed upon by the newspaper beats, and we feel in duty bound to propect our patrons. Orainge hams, none better, always on hand, at J. W. McLeod's. You can buy goods in Manning as cheap as any town in the State. Our merchants are wide awake and do not propose to be undersold. A farm er was in town one day last week on his way to the city andi af!ter p)ricing the goods ini a store that mit7ertises in the Times hem concluded he could save time and money by buying here. He bought a larue bill1 and was perfectly satisfied. This is a pointer, anti when you hiave mnone-y to spend give y-our hcme mnerc-hants thi e refusal andi we are satisfied that y-our money will stay right here where all o)f us can get a benefit from it, iustead of goinu off to never return.

We hear of commercial wrecks all over the country. but the wrecks do not stop the solicitation of orders from;our merchants. Every day sev eral drummers tire in town trying to sell goods. 'Tis a good sign. Several of Summerton's staunch farmers were in town last Saturday, and they say despite the hard tinies their section has already gotten a move on its self and gone to work pre paring for another crop. Mr. C. J. Lesesne, has accepted a special agency for the Mutual Life Insurance Company, of New York, and for which company lie will travel. 31r. Lesesne is a bright young man, and we wish him much success in his new venture. If the people of Manning wish a first-class market the year round, they should encourage W. C. Chand ler & Co. with their orders. 0. E. WEBBER, Manager. A very sad accident occurred at Da vis Station last Thursday. A six-year old son of Mr. Lafferty, with some other children was standing near the tram track while tne train was com ing in. The smoke from the engine was so dense that those on it did not see the children. One of the hands threw off a large billet of wood and it struck thedittle boy on the head crush ing his skull. The child lived about ten minutes. Everybody that. is interested in the welfare of the Manning Guards should attend the meeting of the company on the evening of February 8th. The military company is a great protec tion to the lives and property of our citizens, and they should encourage the boys in continuing in their ef forts of keeping up the company. The company here and peace reigns, take it away and there is no telling the harm that may result. * Citizens, it is to your interest for the company to remain.

The attendance was good, about forty delegate~s reporesen ting the various sub-alliauces were present. The re ports showv t hat the alliance in this county is hohling its own!. After transacting the regular quarterly busi ness, Hon. J. E. Pet tigtew, of Florence, was introduced. He spoke on alliance matters entirely. His spech~l was full of good sound doctrine and advice. There was nothing in his speech but what the pubiic could have heard, and we think his address wvould have been well received by those who are not members of the order as his re marks were full of material for thought. Resolutions were adopted endlorsing the calling of ani early convention of Refor mners, and pledlging to Governor Tillman supp~ort. int his light for a seat in tlhe United States Senate. St. Paul Items. S-r. PArt, Jan. 22.,-Every copy of "Old Granny" we seo has something to say about the Reform movement. We think that these fellows are just trying to till up their columns and can fidl nothing else to write about. A mjrtofthe voters pay no atten tint hskind of stuff. And it sur prises us no little to see that our junior Senator has noticed what this fellow in Columbla has had to say about binm. WVe farmers are too busy in this section to pay much attention to pol1 itis, until after they have madle another crop, preparations for which are well adlvance~d at this time. It has not been our pleasure to see Ithe play presented at Panola am Packsville, but I am told on good a thority that it was excellent. It h been flatteringly received that ti troupe has decided to present it at Jc dan on Friday night next, the 2a inst. K. E. w. Everything Nice and Clean. We handle only fat. healthy stoe You get what you order. iLow lrie and correct wei-hts. wV a. CANR & Co. Packsville Pointers PACKSvILLE, Jan. 21.-The drana Friday eveiiing brought out a large crowd. All enjoyed the play very much, inldeed. 'Nomen has heard mianv and various remarks pro et coni:'but when we remember that it is our own talent and ability, or rather the talent and ability of the bovs and girls who have grown up around here, we are agreeably sur prised. We are surprised at the amount of theatrical talent displayed by all. The play would have done justice to a much larger town than ours. The net pro ceeds for the evening was $20. This play will be given at Jordan next Frilay evening, so we are imformed. Packsville is still growing. Several more new houses have been planned since last week, and some of them are being put up. Some one said one day last week that it was necessary to come to Packsville every evening in order to keep up witi the times and the growth of our town. If you are looking abort for a place to invest your monev come to "acksvil'e. A newspaper has been spoken of for this town, and verily we believe that within two yea ' fron now we will have a flourishing paper here. Sheriff D. J. Bradhain was in our town Saturday to see his son, Mr. Judson Bradham, who has charge of the business of Mr. D. M. Bradhaa at this place. Mr. T. P. Cuttino, one of our popu lar young men, has accepted a posi tion with Mr. D. M. Bradhai. Mr. J. M. Bradhani, the new post iaster, is beginning to get acquaint ed with the onerous duties that de volve upon him as postmaster, but he is equal to the emergency and will sooni master all the intricate prob lenis relative to it. lie is at present chief dispenser of duns and circulars. Nomen extends his paw to Mr. Louis Appelt as a token of his (No men's) sympathy and hearty co-opera tion on his (Appelt) assuming the tripod. We would say congratulate where it is sympathy and hearty co operation, but it is our honest opinion that an editor needs the sympathy and- co-operation of the people before he can mould public sentiment or elevate the people whom he wishes to benefit. The Times is the best county paper in South Carolina, having al ways been true to the best interest of the people. and Nomen believes that under Mr. Anpelt it will continue at its present high standard. Mliss Mamie White has returned to her home at Smithville, after having spent a month with her sister, Mrs. G. M. Davis.. Rev. C. W. Creighton preached in the academy at this place Sunday evening. His sermon was good. He will be here again the third Sunday. It is his purpose to organize a Sun day school in connection with the ethodist church here. We would be glad to see a large crowd out on the third Sunday afternoon. Why is it, that the rates are so much higher on the C. S. & N. R. R., than on the Central ?- The freight on a car-load of salt from Sumter to Packsville a distance of 12 miles. is more than the value of the salt. The road charges Mr. D. M. Bradham twelve dollars freight on five thousand feet of lumber from here to Tindals. Why is this ? We thought the com mission had established minimum rates and equal rates on a!l roads. If the commission has established rates for all the roads, why is it not in ef feet on the C. S. & N. We would be lad if the proper authorities would irrange it so that lumber could be hippedf rom here without tbe ship pers having to pay as much as he gets r the lumber on the market he charges are unreasonable and ~xorbitant, and. the commission hould take steps to have them re luced at once. Mr. Bradham will ilot move his large saw mill here un il lie gets low freight rates, and un ess the road makes a reduction acksville will lose considerable by. ;his. -NOMFN. There is more catarrb in this sec ion of the country than all other dis bases put together, and until the last 'ew years was supposed to be incura e. For-a great many years doctors >ronounced it a local disease, and pre icribed local remedies, and by con ~tantly failing to cure withl local remn ~dies progounceed it incurable. Science s proved catarrh to be a constitu :ional disease and thlerefore requires ~otstitutional treatment. Hall's Ca :arrh cure, manufactured by.F'. J.

One day last week two negroes, who were getting out ~shingles in Pudding Swam p, near Joh nsons cross lg, mlet a peddler and pretended t'o buy some of his wares. The pedler pnedl his pack and begun showing his goods, when one of thle negroes slipped a razor and concealed it in his lothing. The peddler seeing him de anded the razor or pay for it. The negroes became Indignant and cursed nd threatened violence to the ped dler. he peddler finding himselflin danger f bodily harm blew a whistle and two other peddlers who were near hy resoned to the alarm. As soonm as his fellow peddlers come up he i-nforms them of the difficulty and where the razor is. One of them stepped up to the darkey that had tile razor and snatched the razor from him. This enraged the darkey and he picked up a stick. One of the peddlers drew a pistol and at the sight of this the negroes broke and run. A little later one of the darkies procured a shot gun and followed the peddlers about a mile, but the peddlers went on without being over taken. Hon. J. WV.

A good wa' for the. taxpayer-w has much pi >perty to return, is to. make amemorandum of the~humber of horses, cattle, mules, sheep and goats, hocgs, watches, organs and pi-: anos, buggiest wagons and carriages, dogs, merchandise, machinery, mon eys, notes and accounts, (above in debtedness) furniture, &c., which will save the taxpayer time, and enable the assessor to progress in the work. Taxpayers return what they own on the Erst day of January, 1894. All property, both real and per sonal, must be returned this year. Assessors and taxpayers will enter the first given name of the taxpayer in full, also make a separate return for each party for the township the property is in, and where the tax payer owns realty, toinsert the post ffice as'their place of residence, and those who only own personal prop arty, to give the party's-i'me who )wns5 the land the-ir on astfeii -esidence 'a hich aids the taxpayer as wela e county treasurer in mak ng'the collections and preventing ~rrors. Every male citizen between the. tges.of twenty-one and fifty years on he first day of January, 1894, except hose incapable of earning a support rom being maimed, or from other ~auses, shall be deemed taxable polls. All returns that are made after the wentieth day of February will have .penalty of 50 per cent. added there o, unless prevented by sickness or >ut of the county during the time of isting. Not knowing the time 'of isting is no excuse. And all owners >f real estate, might do their tenants, wvho cannot read, or take a news >aper, a great favor. by making their eturns or telling them the time of isting, and that if they fail to make heir returns in time that the valua -_ ion has to be increased 50 per cent. mnless they have a good excuse. The as sessing and collecting of axes is all done now in the same year, bud we have to aggregate the num er and value of all the horses, cattle, nules, &c., as well as the acres of and, lots and buildings, and their - ralue, that there is in the county, mud have same on file in the Comp :roller General's office by the thir ieth day of June each year. And 'rom that time to the first day of Oc- ~~ :ober each year the auditor's and' :reasurer's duplicate has to be coim >leted and an abstract of the work n the Comiptroller's office by that ;ime., which will show at a glance hat the auditor has no time to take n returns ordo anything else much, >etweenl the first day of March and~ he first day of October each year, ut work on the books and blanks. L'herefore I hope that all taxpayers gill do us the favor of making their -eturns in time. J. ELBERT DAVIS, Auditor Clarendon County. WM.
