G. .teen, J. Frank Pate and B.C. Wallace are the committee in charge, and it is needless for us to say that ladies need not hesitate to go on this excursion. Bead the adver tisement elsewhere. 'There is a sufficient amount of tobacco being raised in Clarendon and Williams burg counties to warrant our business men in looking after establishing a tobacco warehouse in Manning and thereby get the advantage of large sums of money an nually spent by our farmers who are now forced to carry their tobacco to other -towns. Merchants, think of this! The n.ewly elected board of health is looking after the sanitary condition of the town. They are soon to inspect the various premises, and if they find them in an un clean condition they will act as the law directs. Clean your yards before the board gets after you, because the gentle men composing this board are going to do their full duty regardless of who they strike. 'Base-ball clubs, attention !

W. McIntosh, last Thursday morning, at Workmans, Mr. Lorenzo D. Player, aged about seventy-five years. The funeral took place the next day at Midway church. The deceased was a successful farmer and was well known throughout the county, and while he has always taken an active inter est in public affairs he never could be per suaded to accept public office. TIhe bondsmen of Henry Tindal, col ored, late postmaster at Pack yille, this county, and who is serving a sen tenoe in the Columbus (Ohio) penitentiary, have been arrested for making false oaths as to their worth when they justified on Tindal sbond. Two of them are in the Sumter jail in default of bail, and the third was released on baiL. All of them are col ored citizens of the Packsville section. We were asked recently why we did not boom Manning, and in reply we showed the gentleman a copy of THE TDrEs and asked him to show us the encouragement in our advertising columns from our busi ness men who are to be benefited by a booming. He said, after looking: '-Oh. well, your merchants must all be rich and don't care whether the town progresses or not." We told him he was mistaken ; that our merchants are striving to build up the town, but that they expected a newspaper man to work for his health and live on promises until next year, when business -may get better. - Alpaca coats and vests for men and boys at Rigby's. A party of gentlemen from Manning went to Brewington yesterday on a fishing expedition, and one of them, Mr. E. L. Wilkins. got capsized out of a battean and was ducked. He says that he killed thirty seven snakes even if he did get ducked. and, being a truthful man, no one should doubt him, but whether he did or not is nobody's business. The editor of the Times is not a member of a church and was ducked at the same place the Friday before, but the ducking did not have the effect of making him see snakes as it did Mr. Wilkins, who is a devo'3t member of the church. He also says that his pastor, Rev. J. 0. Gough, was with the crowd and, while the parson did not get ducked, he *saw snakes all the same. Oh, brethren, if you had had your good wives along, they would have exerted their temperance influ ence over you. If you can't go on a fishing folic whout seeing snakes, stay home. Rev. James McDowell has a cow that he has been milking every day for the last six years, and the last calf of this cow is the mother of several calves and the grant. mother of some. Professor E. J. Browne is conducting a summer school for boys and young men. He is also representing a very useful book, which should be in the hands of every seeker of knowledge. Died, last Monday, in Sumter, Miss Jane Chandler, aged about seventy years. The deceased was a sister of Mr. A. H. D. Chandler of the Fork and an aunt of Mr. W. C. Chandler of Manning. Rev. James McDowell will fill his pulpit as usual in the Manning Presbyterian Church next Sunday morning, June 16. By request he will preach in the Methodist Church at Jordan that afternoon at four o'clock. Judge Gary and Solicitor Wilson left for Sumter last Monday. The judge finished his work here Thursday night but was so well pleased with Manning that he pre ferred staying here at the Central than to go to Sumter. Tangle-foot and poison fly paper and fly traps at R. B. Loryea's. The scholars of Mrs. M. M. David's school had a pleasant lawn party under the Dickson oaks last Wednesday night. Quite a number of the grown folks went and all enjoyed themselves until the rain came along and drove them away. Lot of ladies' Zeigler shoes just received, at Rigby's. Married, this afternoon, at the residence of Mr. Louis Appelt, Mrs. Bettie Chandler and Mr. A. B. Galloway. Rev. James Mc Dowell officiated. The couple will reside in the residence recently occupied by Mr. R. L. Burns. The happy couple were the recipients of many beautiful and useful presents. A full line of baby carriages at W. C. Chandler's. A fine milch cow belonging to Mrs. L. M. Barfield was discovered last Sunday suffering from the effects of poison, ad ministered by parties unknown. Mr. Bar field having had considerable experience in compounding medicine, at once pre pared an antidote, which had the desired effect and saved the animal's life. A series of meetings will begin in the Baptist Church the third Sunday in June. The Rev. Walter Wilkins of Louisvi!le, Ky., will assist the pastor. Brother Wilkins is a son of our townsman, Brother E. L. Wilkins, and comes to us highly recom mended. The public are invited to these services. The evening services will be held at S.'s :'clock. Bill Picket, who was arrested some time ago by Deputy U. S. Marshal C. L. Eman uel, and who escaped from a person whom Mr. Emanuel left him in charge of while he went to attend to some other matter. has been rearrested by Mr. Emanuel, and was committed to jail in Sumter last Fri day by United States Commissioner Norris. The charge is sel'.ng liquor without license. Deputy Emanuel also ar rested a white man by the name of John Jones, from North Carolina, upon a tele gram. Jones is a moonshiner and had "squatted' in Salem to hide from the law. After the arrest he expressed his willingness to accompany Mr. Emanuel to North Carolina without going through the formality of waiting for a warrant. Mr. Emanuel telegraphed that he had the pris oner and carried him up to Sumter. Later a telegram came to Mr. Emanuel that he did not have the right man although the prisoner admitted that he was the individ ual desired. Upon receipt of the last dis patch the prisoner was released. A healthy appetite with perfect digestion and assimilation may be secured by the use of Ayer's pills.

As we announced last week on going to press, the Court was hearing the case against Powell Dyson, white, and Gus Deas and Bill Dickson, colored, charged with breaking into and robbing Thomas & Bradham's stables of a large quantity of corn and pease. The case created considerable interest, and it took a whole day to get in the evi dence and arguments. The jury failed to agree after being out all night, and a mistrial was ordered. We learned that the trouble was with agreeing~ as to the white prisoner. Ten of the jury were in favor of convicting him as well the two negroes, and two were for his ac quittal, but were willing to convict the negroes. It is also said that one of the two who favored an acquittal changed to conviction some time during the night. This was the last case. Dyson is out on bail, while the negroes are in jail. On Thursday the time of the Court was taken up with matters on the civil side, which needed no jury. A BIRTHDAY FETE. An entertainment new and novel will be given at the residence of Col. B. P. Barron, on Wednesday evening. June 19th, under the auspices of the Ladies' Missionary So ciety of the Manning Presbyterian Church, and a similar one will be given the next day at the church grove for the children. 'The entertainment is called a "Birthday Fete," and works like a charm in carrying out the purposes of the society. Each guet is provided with a bag or envelope, and he or she is expected to place in the receptacle an amount of cents equal to the number of years of age, or more if you like; this is the admission fee charged. I'here will be good music, recitations, an d refresh ments without extra charge. Everybody ought to go. and we believe they will, for the object is a worthy and benevolent one. There will be no cheating on the age busi ness, because secret watchers will see that no lady of "thirty" will work the "sixteen" racket on the rest and no mean bachelor works off pants buttons for coppers. A GOOD APPETITE Always acc .mpanies good health, and an absence of appetite is an indication of something wrong. The loss of a rational desire for food is soon followedl by lack of strength, for when the supply. of fuel is cuit of the fire burns low. The sytem gets into a low state and is hable to severe at tacks of disease. T1he universal testimaonvy given by those who have used Hlool's Sarsaparilla as to its great merits in res storing and sharpening the appetite. in promoting healthy action of the digestive organs and, as a puritier of the blood, con stitutes the strongest recommendation that can be urged for any medicine. Those who have never used Hood's Sarsp~arilla should surely do so this season. WHAT HEARTLESS CREATURES THESE. Whn the news reached Manning of the catastrophe that befell the editor of the Manning Times at Brewington, a gather ing of balloon-sleeved and banged-up revenge see'kers took place in that famous quarter known as "'Squall Hill." There they ;:ave vent to their pent-up malie with 'It's good for him," and "Why did they not drown the scamp while they had a chance," and "Jh ! if we had just been there the good-for-nothing news-tattler would never have gotten back to twit us with his mischievous pen. After giving vent to these expressions and more, they set about to declare the fol lowing resolutions: "Whereas, The residents of "Squall Hill" have heard with unfeigned pleas ure of the ducking given to the editor of The Manning Times at Brewington lake last Friday, and, whereas, we feel satistied the ducking was intended as a punishment for the way he has deviled and harassed us, who are made defenseless by the threat of this mean editor of springing a box of mice on us which he keeps in his offien, in case we, in a body, go to maul him. "Resolved, That we hereby tender to Judge Gary, Solicitor Wilson, lion. Joseph F. Rhame, and Mr. Louis Levi our heart felt thanks for having the Times editor ducked, and we assure these gentlemen if they will accept it we will make up a purse as a token of our appreciation for the mner A NEGRO BRIBED. A Conspiracy to Drown the Editor of the Times-A Judge and Solici tor In It-Evidence Against the Judge to Convict. A party of gentlemen, consisting of Judge Ernest Gary, Col. B. P. Barron, Hon. J. F. Rhame, Solicitor J. S. Wilson. Mr. Louis Levi and the editor of THE TDIES, equipped with three servants and aplenty of wet and dry rations, went to Brewington Lake last Friday. The object of the trip was to give Judge Gary an op portunity of seeing "The Accursed Fount," which John Witherspoon Ervin wrote of, and the chance of eating the toothsome fish from Brewington Lake. The Judge had read Mr. Ervin's book and was, therefore, an interested listener when the spring was reached as Col. Barron eloquently related the legend connected with the place. The scene at the spring was one worth picturing. There, in this lonely spot with none to molest nor make afraid-stood a circuit judge, a solicitor, two lawyers (both of whom are ex-members of the Legislature), a merchant, and a poor, inno cent, unsophisticated newspaper editor, While the party was thus grouped near this historic spot telling one amusing in cident after another and making the air ring with laughter, a little further off were the three servants busily engaged in pre paring a feast. Occasionally a man from the neighbor hood would lass on his way to the lake, and when his eyes fell upon the crowd and he recognized them, he would pass on with merely a nod of the head, as though he did not care to stop in such company and we did not blame him either, for such an aggregation of individuals are not only seldom seen, but when they are seen to gether at such an unusual place, it is enough to strike good, law-abiding citizens with a holy terror, and cause them to slap their hands on their pockets and run for dear life. While waiting for the fishermen to bring the fish from the lake the party indulged in jokes and cigars; also in the humor of Solicitor Wilson's mimicry and Pepper, and alter each man gave in his experience or related an incident Pepper was used to give it a good flavor. This went on until the fish came, which drew all the attention until they were led away for the slaughter. It was not long before fires were in full blast, and the frying of the fish added a new accompaniment to the music of the birds flitting about from tree to tree over the heads of this merry set of pleasure seekers. About this time one of the lawyers called attention to the fact that the Governor of North Carolina had sent a message to the Governor of South Carolina, and when the message was repeated it was good, and to keep it and give it tliavor Pepper was again used. While standing there enjoying the last joke and its flavor, "Gentlemen, dinner is ready !" was the sound that broke upon the air, and out of the fastnesses of the swamp several "razor backs" responded with as much alacrity as did these professional men whom the servants chose to call gentlemen. Under the magnificent oaks the table was spread, and such a feast ! President Cleve land can have his clam and fish chowders on the shores of Buzzard's Bay, and the millionaires of New York can have their ishiug frolics it their favorite resorts, but none of them "are in it" in comparison to the fish served at Brewington. Some of the party seemed to think this aflir a kind of a contest with a prize at tached for the man who ate the most fish, judging from the number some of the party made way with. We have always had a sort of an idea that our appetite was good, strong and healthy, and accounted for it by being what is known as a laboring man, but when we saw such eaters as Rhame and Wilson, Barren, Levi and the Judge-men who roll in ease and luxury in handsomely' fitted up offices-we won dered if the idea of vigorous physical exercise to get up an appetite was not a false one, for we saw it practically demon strated that those who labor the least eat, the most. The dinner was fine and iced nheuser-Busczh was an important factor tward adding snap to the bountiful re past. After dinner cigars were passedI around, ad the party made themselves as com ortable as men could after filling them elves up as this crowd did. Judge Gary wanted to take a hand at atching some of the fish, and the party all but Col. Barron, who remained at the amp to take a snooze-went to the lake with His Honor. Very soon a boat was procured and the Judge and Mack, our ook, were out on the water. In order to prevent monotony taking possession of the Judge we, in all of our innocence, secured the serviices of Ed Scott-who turned out to be a devil in arnate-and in a dugout undertook to try the fishing business, little dreaming that conspiracy had been formed by which we were to be made the victim simply for aving expressed a wish that the Judge's boat would be turned over. When we ame out of the swamp, on the bridge stood Messrs. Rhame, Wilson and Levi. The dugout was turned so that we could not see the anties of those on the bridge, but we are satisfied that by signs Scott was bribed to sink our boat because, when we came in sight of the bridge. Scott be came vety nervous, not heeding our de mand that he should sit quiet or the con ern would turn over, but continuedl rock ing until the craft filled itself and like MGinty, the editor of THE Tnas, with all f his purity and clothes, went down and had to swim or drown. Of course, our friends on the bridge wecre sorry ; they fairly bubbled over with sympathy for us. Wilson felt so awful sorry that we felt in clined to take off our pbnt~loons and loan them to him to push back his tears and prevent a scene before the Jludge when, lo and behold! we found the Judge cack lng with laughter like a lien after laying n egg, and there was Rhame and Levi fairly dancing the can-can in their joy. Well, we went on the lake and we got ducked ! Ne vertheless, we had lots of fun. Now, we charge and ask the proper trib unal to investigate, that the lawyers con spired with the Judge and prosecuting at torey: to have this editor drowvned for the purpse of giving the lawyers a case to de tend at the next term of court, and they let the merchant into the conspiracy with the promise of the sale of a suit of burial lothes in case our body was foundt. We base this serious charge upon the fact that u-e saw with our own eyes Judge Gary pay~ Ed Scott a quarter, and heard hii tell Scott that the money was "for dumping A ppelt into the lake." 'hey dlid not make fish food ot us as we are here to state, and after wve rgceived our involuntary baptism and got out on the bridge, we set out for the camip with this crowd of fiends chuckling with glee be hind us. Trhere we found Col. Barron, much refreshed from his after-dinner nap and as we approached him-wvith that kindness of heart for whbich he is noted he gave us a big draught of chill-driving liquid and some advice about what we should do when we got home. This seemed a signal for the rest of the gang, and thev' all volunteere~d advice. One said take a coarse towel anid rub down ;another wanted us to rub well right away ;still an other said take another big drink, but 31r. Rhaue, with bare-faced mischief, advigd us to p'ut on a dry suit of clothes or we would take culd. While this was going on a valuable pin mae its disappearance from off our vest. Ihat was the straw which broke the camel's back. When we found we were the victim of a trick and got the ducking, it has been hinted to us that we said a few words that a preacher wvould hesitate to use before an orthodox congregation unless a yellow jacket happened to gets up his breeches leg; but when our pin was gone we felt huge lumps going down our throat at the rate of a dozen a second and caused us to be speechless. Our horrified countenance bad its effect on the tender spot of the Judge's heart, ani he brought the valued article forth from Col. Barron's pocket. 'rhen our joy came back, although somewhat dampjened. We would advise our friends if ever in a weak moment they' should give way or be infuenced to go 'to a lake with a party composed of judges, solicitors, lawyers, merchants and niggers, to "Hang your clothes on a h~ckory limb, But Thn't go near the water." Full coneaved razors exchanged for any good brar'd of old heavy razors at A. B. THE GAY YOUNG MAN. How His Information About the Hot Weather Was Received. The recent spell of hot weather, so un usual for this time of the % ear, broaght forth every form of expression known tc the vernacular of our day. In fact, it ex hausted our stock of adjectives. Various kinds of salutations are used by friends on meeting, and it is bard for us to refrain from making some assertion in regard to the weather, such as, Isn't it hot?" "Isn't it warn, ?" "Did yon ever see such ?" and so on, ad infinitum. The best "get-off" comes fr->m A neigh boring city in regard to the hot weather, and as we reproduce it for our readers, will represent it as having taken place in Manning: "Good morning, Mr. Editor." "Good morning, sir." "Hot, isn't it?" "What did you say?" asked ye editor, as he gave the familiar interrogator a wither ing look. "I say it's hot." "Didn't quite understand you." "I said," and the fellow yelled at the top of his voice : "It's hot--very hot." "Just step into my office a moment," said the heat-exhausted editor, with a calm and expressive look, backed up with an ample degree of fun, who addressed the young man thus : "You've known me for several years, haven't you?" "Yes, sir, I believe I have." "You never doubted my sanity ?" "Never." "Never saw me otherwise than sober?" "Never." "Well, you observe that my collar has collapsed ?" "Yes." "You see for yourself that I am per spiring?" "Certainly." "You, no doubt, feel hot yourself?" "I do, for a fact." "Then you know it's hot. Everybody knows it's hot. People are alive. Now. what reason had you for running up to me and asking me if it's hot, when I am so busy trying to give people the news." The above is a pointer for every one, and remember that when you are meeting out gratuitous advice or asking for in formation in regard to the above that your musical tones are wasted on the desert air.

BADHAM, CEN.S ACT., COLTMBIA. S. C. A LIFE POLICY IN THE UNION LIFE-MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF PORTLAND, MAINE, is the Best Investment a Man Can Make ! The Union Mutual is the only company that issues policies giving the benefit of the ion-forfeiture law, and specifying in definite terms by its policy contract that there can be no forfeiture of insurance, by non-payment of premium, after three years' premiums lave been paid, until the value provid(l for is exhausted In Extended Insurance. THE UNION MUTUAL Has been in business over forty years, during which time it has paid to its policy holders over TwESTY-SLx MILucON DOLLARS. It pays its losses upon receipt of satisfactory proofs, without delay or discount. There can be no more certain provision for your family than your policy in the Union MIntual. The Union Mutual Policies Are the most liberal now offered to the public. They are incontestable after one year from date of issue and free from limitations as to r.sidence, travel, suicide, or occupa. tion-military and naval services in times of war excepted. After the payment of three full years' premiums in cash they are protected by the popular Maine Non-Forfeiture Law, the provisions of which can apply only to policies written by this company. THE UNION MUTUAL Is a purely mutual comp.iny ; its resources belong to the polic--holders and are utilized in giving them a maximum of :,enefits consistent with absolut ,ecurity, there being no stockholders to absorb large profits. Each policy is stock in ta:e company. Its officers and agents are paid their salaries and commissions, and they earn them. These are in cluded in their current expense s. Every dollar of the profit goes to the policy-holders only. THE UNION MUTUAL Issues a policy which is as safe as Government bonds, and far more profitable. It is not subject to taxes. It is not subject to administration. It is your financial safeguard. IT KEEPS A MAN'S SAME GOOD even beyond the grve. It goes where yon want it to go ; is outside of all controversy, will or no will. It requires none of your time. It requires none of your attention. It causes no care or worry. IT IS ABSOLUTELY YOURS. Eo DOUBT ABOUT THE TITLE. It is looking out for "number one." It is "nailing down" something ; "salting away" something for You and Youns be yond the emergencies and risks of ordinary business. IT ASsURES the success of that for which you are striving. It makes your future a certainty. It is the only property you can buy by simply loaning a per cent of its values yearly for such number of years as you may elect. It gives a constant satisfaction that no other property can produce for you. It is the only property thea will surely cling to you through all financial storms. IT Is YOUR LIFE BOAT, wvhich may prove in later life a SHIP oF PBOsPERITY. IN :=ACT, AS I SAID ABOVE, A Life Policy in the Union Mutual OF PORTLAND, MAINE, Is the Best Investment a Man Can Make !
