A full report 'was re eived from the boards 'which showed a good average of prsna property. The assessment was slightly below that of four years ago, and a great many delinquents with the 50 per cent. penalty were reported. The board 'will meet again salesday in April at 10 a. m. for the puroeof giving those persons having complants to make a hear ing, and the auditor was instructed to no tify those 'whose property was raised by the board to showcasiie on that day why the assessment as raised against said property shall not stand.

It is a rare thing, that Manning ever in dulges in the sensational, but for the past week or more several strangers have been seen about town, apparently looking for work, sight-seeing or something else of no special business to our citizens that are engaged in their daily vocations. These stranges turned out to be detectives seeking out the parties that laid our town in ashes. Whether they have succeeded remains to be seen later. however there was confusion in the temple of the thieves yesterday. The detectives caused the ar rest of Lewis Burgess, George Epperson, Alex Bertrand, Bill Picket, and Isreal James. All of them were lodged in jail and search warrants were obtained from Trial Justice Timmons. At the house of Lewis Burgess a considerable quantity of stolen goods were found, and the detectives think they are on track of important devel opments. Of course they ate not giving away their plans, but one of them told us that before the perpetrators of the recent incendiary fires will be in the hands of the law. There are now two detective agencies represented here, one from Atlanta and the other from Charleston. The work so far accomplished was done by the Charleston set. One of the Charleston detectives got on the trail of a man believed to be a leader of the Manning fire gang and followed him to Sumter. Arriving there he found his man gone, but his trip was not fruitless, for while looking around Sumter he picked up a coon by the name of Pleasant Davis, who is wanted for a murder committed in an other county. To say that certain of our colored population was thrown in confusion by the arrests would not be fully expressing it. They seemed to be at sea, and the faces of some of them showed signs of, "my turn next." The work of ferreting out the crime is steadily going on, and the detectives ap pear to be conident of soon being able to cage the gang. Buy or Subscribe. We were told last Saturday by a man liv ing near Manning that if we would change our political views our subscription lists would increase rapidly, as it is conceded that we publish one of the best county newspapers in the State. We informed the gentleman that we are anxious to increase our subscription lists, in fact would be pleased to have every man in the county reading our paper, but if it is to be done by our sacrificing our opinions we would pre fer to continue going along with the pa trons we have, than to increase the patron a e and sacrifice our manhood. The Times advocates the principles of the Reform Movement sincerely, and those opposing our views, even if they will not patronize us, must at least give us credit for being consistant. There are some that will not subscribe to the Times on account of its politics, but they want the news and to get it will either borrow the paper from a neighbor or come to the office and beg tor a "sample copy." It is always a pleasure to accommodate people, and we have given away as many "sample copies" as we care to. If anyone, not a subscriber, wants a copy of the paper they can get it at our office for the small sum of five cents. Last week we.had a number of applications for "sample copies," and some of the applicants took offense when we required pay for them. One man said to us if he "was a Tillmanite we would not have charged him." This man either forgets that it costs us money to get out our paper or his "gall" befuddles his brain. Whenever we desire to send out sample copies we shall do so upon our own motion, and whenever a copy of the paper is wanted it is left with us whether we shall charge for it. This is one of the rights we claim, whether it pleases newspaper spoungers or not. If a man feels that it is sacrificing his principles to have his name on our subscription lists, to be consistent he should not let the paper come in contact with his angers. If a man won't pay for the paper he should be too proud to spounge it. Some men say they will not support our paper because "it is a Tillman sheet," but in a majority of these cases the true reason is, they have never supported any paper. They have spounged wherever they could, or obtain'd it on credit and were never known to pay for it. We want no dead beats; we want, and will have only such men as have pride enough to pay for what they get. A glance over our subscription lists will show the names of the people that pay their debts, and these lists are always open for inspection. If we receive an inquiry from abroad as to the standing of so and so, we look at our lists and report the fact that the person has paid us, and the result is the .party in quired about usually succeeds in accom pishing what business he has with the inquiring party. If the name is not on our lists we simply make the plain statement that "no such individual appears on our lists," and observation has taught us that the inquiries stop with that information. Manning Farmers' Platform Club. Pursuant to a call of Reformers of Claren don county published last week in the Manning Times, a meeting of the -Manning Farmers' Platform Democratic Club will be held at the court house in Manning, Satuir day afternoon, March 24, at 4 -o'clock, to determine what action shalt be taken.

C., March 9, 1894.--Mr. Editor: I would like to amend your sug. gestion for a convention for considering whether it would be best to call a State con vention and to elect a delegate to represent us in Columbia. My amendment is: A committee of one from each club or town. ship be selected to wait on, to confer, and bring out suitable men to represent us in the next legislature. Let the office seek the man, not the man the office. I do not think that any true, honest man that has the interest and wishes of the people at heart could object to the plan. This is a most important office, therefore we should exercise more discretion in the selection. We would like to hear from other portions of the county on the subject, and get their We learn that a branch office of the At lanta building and loan association has been organized at Lake city, which, if we un~derstand the plan right, will be a bless. ig to that country.

Readers are familiar with the Hazzard circular which was issued in '62 by Eng lish capitalists and circulated confidentially among American bankers. They are also C familiar with the Buel circular issued Aug. t 12, 1887. by the Bank association in New s York city, and confidentially circulated C among capitalists and bankers. A third circular to utterly destroy the liberties of the people and rivet on them the chains of t slavery, was issued March 12, 1893, by the 9 Bankers' association, and sent to all 11a tional banks. It has just started on its I rounds in the Reform press. We clip it I from the Chicago Express, one of the livest of Reform Newspapers. It reads as follows, and will be known as THE PANIC BULLETIN. DAn SIi:-The interest of the national bankers require immediate financial legis- c lation by congress. Silver, silver certifi cates and treasury notes must be retired and the national bank notes upon a gold t basis made the only money. This will re quire the authorization of from $500,000, 000 to $1,000,000,000 of new bonds as a basis of circulation. You will at once re tire one-third of your loans. Be careful to make a money stringency felt among influ ential business men. Advocate an extra t session of congress for the repeal of the purchase clause of the Sherman law and act with the other banks of your city in securing a large petition to congress for its unconditional repeal, per accompanying form. Use personal influence with con- 1 gressmen and particularly let your wishes be known to your senators. The future life of national banks as fixed and safe in vestments depends upon immediate action, and as there is an increasing sentiment I in favor of government legal tender notes r and silver coinage.' The above circular reveals a plot against I the rights and liberties of the people with- t out a parallel in the history of the ages. A careful reading and analysis of it and a comparison of it with the actions of Presi dent Cleveland, Secretary Carlisle and Sen- c ator Sherman prove conclusively they are r in the conspiracy and because of their offi- r cial positions have been elected to execute it. President Cleveland promptly convened congress in extraordinary session and sent a message to that body asking the uncondi tional repeal of "the purchase clause" of the Sherman act as outlined in the circular. 1 In addition he used all the patronage of the t high office he holds to force congressmen to vote for its repeal. The banks in the meantime hoarded all e the currency they could. They not only a drew in their circulation and refused to discount loans, but they refused to pay out I deposits. Senator Voorhees declared on the floor of the senate that the banks had I $1,000,000,000 hoarded in their vaults. They had petitions gotten up all over the country urging congress to unconditionally repeal "the purchase clause" of the Sherman act. 1 Not only that, but 5delegations from many s of the large cities were sent to Washington m to urge its repeal, all of which was outlined t in the circular. As soon as "the purchase 0 clause" was repealed, which Senator Sher- c man advocated with all his powers, the wily il senator announced on the Jloor of the sen- a ate that the condition of the treasury called il for the issue and sale of $200,000,000 of I bonds for gold. He is now doing all he t can to have it done. This, too, was out- f lined. To pave the way for Secretary Car lisle to perform his part in the plot the d bankers of New York city gave a banquet at s Delmonico's and invited the secretary to ex- t plain the financial situation. In his speech t he said, "Gold and only gold is money in final redemption." This is ontlined in the circular as the end t and aim of the bankers. When he made this assertion he knew there is no law in this country on which to rest it. In fact ine his several statements of the condition of the treasury he has always said the standard silver dollars are "a fnll legal tender,"t wich is a fact, in execution of the partt assigned to him in this vile plot Secretary Carlisle, law or no law, hase adiertised for bids for the issue and sale of bonds for gold. The bankers of New York have subscribeda for $45,000,000; those of Boston for $5,000,- 1 000, and those of other Eastern cities for 1 amounts raising the subscriptions to $54,- i 000,000. There is a squabble now as to e who will get them. There is where we I have landed in consummation of this plot. a The actions of President Cleveland, Sec retary Carlisle and Senator Sherman prove I clearly they are in the conspiracy and be- ( cause of their official positions have been selected to execute the plot. So far they t have acted their parts well; so have the s banks. The great battle predicted by Chiet t Justice Chase between the people on one 1 side and the national banks on the other a has opened and will be fiercely fought an til the people are reduced to~ slavery or the banks obliterated. There is no middlet ground to occupy. The fight will be a combat a outranmce, that is to the death. I have before me the New York World of Feb. 9. It says the police census of the un' emplyed in that city reported to Mayora Gilroy affected by the hard times are 206,701 persons, and of those 169,037 are in destitution. It was in this city, the home of President I Cleveland, that this diabolical plot was laid that caused the deplorable condition of, these people by throwing thetm out of em ployment. Only the beginning of the sorrows and woes of the people have been seen if the conspirators succeed in the consummation of their plot. Their circular clearly shows they will not stop until every silver coin,t every silver certificate and every .treasuryt note is furnded into interest-bearing gold bonds to be used as a basis for the errcula tion of bank bills. If they succeed in this "gold and only gold," as Secretary Carlisle announced in his speech at the Delmonico banquet, will be recngnized as money. . When that time conies-and the conspir ators are pushing it vigorously-there will be a transfer of the property of debtors to their creditors and the debtors will be the tenant slaves of their creditors. Debts cannot be paid when current expenses can not be met. No one can leave. He will have nothing to go on. If he does he mil ind the same conditions wherever he taay The future of the country is fearful to. contemplate. The people have been badly deceived. If they do not rise up the first opportunity as one man and at the ballot box change our rulers in both the nation and the State and elect wiser and better ones we are doomed to lives of poverty and misery-lives in which the instincts of self preservation alone will remain. The problem for solution is, in whom can we confide ? The race now is for dollars, ar.d wealth is the prize. The evil-doers have combined to secure it at any cost to the many. It seems that zeal for God, country and hu-1 nanity has fled the earth and satan reigns supreme. Malaria is one of the most insidious of health destroyers.

C., March 1.-The rob beries reported in The Times as occuring around here sometime ago hasve not abated at all but have rather become worse. Night before last the Summerton depot was entered for the second time and some dry goods were stolen and various articles were scat tered around in indiscriminate confusion. On the same night the C. 8: & N. depot at Silver was entered with burglarous intent but what was stolen there, I hai e been una ble to find out. Last night the hack window of the drug store of Dr. T. L. Burgess was broken open and the store robbed. The parties seem to know their business, for the safe was brok en open apparently without troubleand the contents appropriated. They then went up stairs in the dental office of Dr. J- H. Bur gess, but failed to find anything of impor tance there, except a spirit lamp which they used to light up for future operations. Then they stole a considerable amount of cigars, some spectacles and cologne. Cigar stumps were scattered around and the store left in confusion. All this clearly shows that we have an experienced set of burglars depre dating upon us. Mr. John WV. Bryant lost last Thursday I night a rod cow with white face.

Last Friday night Mr. J. W. Wheeler rho lives in the neighborhood of Salem ieard that London Fulmore, a negro tenan n his place, had in his possession a whit nfant child. Mr. Wheeler went to Ful sore's house and found the child. lie or lered him to return the child to the plac rom where it came. Putting soine cover mg around it he started with it on the trael f the railroad. Mr. Wheeler, who wishe< o see where he would go with it, followe< ome distance behind, but near enongh to bserve his movements. Fulmore. afte iroceeding a short distance, came t) a cul ert on the railroad, where the water wa wo or three feet deep. At that point h topped. and Mr. Wheeler seeing him in i tooping attitude approached him and aske< iim what was the matter. He replied tha te had fallen and dropped the child int< he water. Mr. Wheeler ordered him to gi o a heuse near by and get a light. Whe: e brought the light Mr. Wheeler saw th< hild lying in the water drowned, and or lered Fulmore to take it out, which he dii >y reaching his hand down and taking holt f it. Several gentlemen in the immediat< eighborhood were sent for. and after con miltation they told Fulmoro he must returi he child to the place or person who gave i o him. He then proceeded to the house o Ir. Daniel Gray, who lives only a shor istance from where it was drowned. Thi hild is said to have been two days oh rhen it was drowned, and that it was aliv, ud heard to cry just before it was found i he culvert.

Congressman Brawley, of South Carolina as sent a letter to the house announcinj "at he has forwarded his resignation t ;overnor Tillman. Under all the circum tances it is hardly probable that the gov rnor will have any serious hesitation iz ccepting this resignation. - The fact reminds us that Congressmax rawley is one of the luckiest of Southerx oliticians. Indeed, with one exception .e is the luckiest of all. Elected to represent the interests of thi ople, he has steadrastly refused to do so le has persistently opposed every financia ieasure calculated to give relief to his con tituents. He has voted in favor of ever' ieasure which had the influence of thi anks and the money power behind it.

It is bigger than Irby or Shell or Evans or all the rest put together.
