The only damage done was to the buggy and some slight injuries to the horse. A very painful accident happi'ed to Mr. Moses Levi last Wedriesday. Mr. Levi was assisting in the taking of his annual inventory, and while walking on top of a counter connting the cartoons of sh.ics on the top shelf, he fell between the space where two counters separate and struck his side and one leg on the edge of the oppe site counter, inilicting a very painful wound on his leg.

NETTLES Does Yoeman Service in the Cause of Religion at Newberry, S. C. Newberry Voice of the People. Several years ago a Methodist congrega tion was organized on Factory Hill, which was served in connection with the Station Church. but the last annual conference stt off this work as a separate charge under the name ef the Newberry City Mlission. Rev. S. A. Nettles was appointed preacher in charge. During the half year just closed the membership has more than doubled, there now being upwards of one hundred and thirty members. The services are all well attended, and Mr. Nettles claims he has the best Sunday-school in the State. The Union church building now used is inadequate to the requirements. and a new church is to be built with a seating ca pacity of six hundred and to cost about $2,500. '1lhe factory stockholders have kindly given a beautiful and desirable lot and five hundred dollars in cash toward this purpose. It is proposed to receive estimates at once for the church building, as it is de sired to h-ave the church completed and dedicated before conference meets in De eember. Contractors desiring t- bid will please confer with Rev. S. A. Nettles. Blood-purifiers, though gradual, are rad ical in their effect. Ayer's Sarsaparilla is intended as a medicine only and not ast ulant, excitant, or beverage. Immediate results may not always follow its use; but after a reasonable time, permanent benefit is certain to be realized. THE TEACHERS' MEETiNG. Editor Manning Times: At the request of several of your readers to w-rite you a letter while at the teachers' association I indite these few lines to your valuable paper. I think you and somec other gentlemen advised me to lean the children behind in order to have a good time ; in other words, be a '-new woman of the period.' In spite of all suggestions Dimple, Joe, Bishop, Lucille and mother were up earlier than usual Fridlay mioinin g to prepare for the trip to the mountains-a tip Eishop had been anticipating with wiliest glee for several days. Mr. Legg called and carried us to the depot in ample timec.I Mother would not risk the fatigue of a trip to the mountains, and went ti Fores ton to sp)end somec time with Dr. Nettles. Capt. Webb took charge of'* us. and we boarded his train, bound for Asheville, N. C. I nas very tihatnkfui that it was our good f'rtune to fail into sach comapetent hands, as Captain Webb is very e-leve-r and I attentive. and he- has a suoch clbarmii~g maner about him that makes us feel that he does not regard one with the little Iones-I never go withont them- -as tobe soe pastsengerN. At Columbia we changed c mnanelors. -Jo and Dimple grew vetry tired on the road, and, as our tickets allowed us to stop over. we concelnded to rest for a few days at Spartanbog. Converse College, which is situated in this charming town, is thrown open as a teachers' boarding-house during the mieet ing of the Teachers' Association, and wve are d..iightfnlly located in thc college. From the windows of our handsome' apart ments the mountain ranges can be dis tinctly seen, and t! e views are grand. D)r. Wilson andl Pro'f. Briwne are very cordial in their reception of the teaehers. There is a large number here fromi every part of the State, and more are arriving on every train. Dr. Rice of the Columbia Female Col lege preached the op-ning sermon last Sunday from the text :'Two women shall be grinding ; the one shall be taken, the other left." I think Dr. Rice an extraordinary preacher. His mannier of treating sub jects is original and keeps one's attention riveted with his brilliant thoughts. His text illustrated the primary work of the teachers as the most important mill to turn; in fact, every teacher's remiarks yesterday drifted to primary teaching as the most important. corroborating the views ex pressed in my communication last week to The Times. Prof. Easter of Wofford Coi lege read a splendid paper on methods and scholarships. The meeting of the as sociation terminates TIhursday. The Messrs. Simpson of Glenn's Sprin's have written a very cordial invation to thbe teachers offering them reduced rates if they will spend a day at the Springs. The teachers have not decided as vet what day they will visit the springs. Our party is undecided as to when they will ieave for Asheville. I E. C. AL~sanooK. aanburg S. C. July 2, 1895~.

HORTON, BURGESS & CO., THE BIRTHDAY FETE. A Grand Entertainment Given at the Residence of Col. B. P. Barron for the Benefit of THE THORNWELL ORPHANAGE By the Ladies' Missionary Society The Children's Party at the Presbyterian Grove. THE HANDSOME SUM OF $51.50 Realized from Both Entertainments -A Large and Appreciative Attendance at Each. One of the ml st pleasant entertainm-ients ever given in Manning was the Birthday Fete conceived by the lahdies of the Mis sionarv Society of the Presbyterian Church here and carried out at the residence of Col. B. Pressley Barro:i last Wednesday evening. Th1ese ladies haI contrived the unique idea of sending out invitations containing little pink and greon bags. accompanied with the request that those receiving the invitations place in the snaill receptacles one ct nt for every year of their age, and this wes to constitute the admission fee, the procveges of the entertainmuent to go to the Thornwell Orph:;nagi. When the hour had arrived for tht gathering of those invited the spacious parlors ot Col. Barron's beautiful residence were thrown open. 'The Colonel -with the pi~tnev mannuers for which he is noted and his accomplished daughter, Mias Lucie, whose graceful courteousy and goodness of Leiart can only be appre eiated by those who have been the recipi ents ox her friendly greetings, stood at the threshold to extet.d a welcome to their many guests. It was not 1.n. before the ltrge parlors, the ::flw.xvs xand piazz:as were tilled with ift lax , !iix sonme young and- - somlte not (jute so ung: and ni4 and yonutis ranging in as rom sixteet to fifty. Ilie conamittee in charge of the arrange ments lad prvided th-at the guests should he served with refreshments, not only in the way of ie cream, cake, sherbet, and the like, brt ta:t they should aho be given a treat in the .vav of music, recitations and other literary prodnetions. Capt.ain W. C. Davis acted as spokesman in introducing the unibers on the pro graom1e, a anann-ancd that the first number would b -a vocal duet by Miss Maggie Hfuggins aid Mrs. W. C. D.avis. The luece these ladies hal seketed was entitled "Wandering in the .tvtime," and was charmingly rendered. Then Nliss Sallie Stukes, whose tonch upon the piario isgraceful and sweet-only t > be appreciated by those who have heard her perform -rndered most beautifully a "H1unting Song" from Mendelssohn. The third num:iber was a rtcitation, '"The 0:d Actor's 6tory," by Miss Mary Anna Davis. This young lad-y, in addition to her maltny naturai charms, Las ainsterei the art of elocutior, and to say that she recited magnificently weil wonid only ex press in part the credit that she did her s-if in this, ot)ca-ion. Th6- next was an instrumental solo, en tit:ed "h Black Joe," by Miss Maicie Harvin, who is naturally a musician and who dii herself due credit. Mr. Warren Dckson then played a waltz npon the violin, with piano accompani ments by Miss Ria Scott, which was en joyed by the audience. "Cmitew SL.h Not RN-ng To-Night" was recited by Miss Julia Mood. Those who had the pleasure of hearing Miss Julia recite during the recent closing exercises of the Collegiate Institute can well imnagine the manner in which she charmed her audience on this anspicious occasion. An instrumental solo, "Ripples of the Alabama," was rendered by Miss Hattie Harvin-who has not even yet attained the acme of her miusical ambitions-in a man ner wvords cannot express, and those wvho failed to be present missed a rare mutical treat. The eighth number on the programme was a recitation, "Poor-House Nan," (by re quest) by Miss Nonie Harvin. Miss Nonie's power to capture her (male) hearers with her accomplishments in elocution are well known, and on this occasion did not tail to totme up to her usual standard of excel lence. A vocal quartette, "Music in the Twi lght," was well rendered by Mrs. W. C. Davis and Miss Janie Ingram and Messrs. F. 0. Richardson and J. IL. Lesesne. This ended the literary part of the even ing's programmer, but by special request Mss Huggins and Mrs. Daivis again sang "Wandering in the Maytime' WIhile these exercises were being con ducted in one of the large and handsomely decorated parlors, those wvho wecre unable to gain admittance thereto enjo'yedl them selves in the other Parlor and on the large and spacious liazzaiS where cake, ice cream, sherbet (and courting) were served in abundauce on numnerous small tables and in the promenades These merry and innocent festivities, sanctioned by the presence of Rev. James McDowell and other church offcials, con tinued until near the hour xf midnight, when everybody was loathe to leave, having received such cordial and welcome tretment at the h'xnds ot genial Colonel Baron and his cot'rt-eous famxily'. On Thursday afternoon the children's party wvas given at the Presbyterian Church grove under the auspices of the society, which was greatly enjoyed by all. The net proceeds of' both entertainn:ents -for the benent of the T'r nv~ mell orphbans -reaebed the handsome sum of $51 50. Those who had the lieaisur: cif attending will never forget the o -casion, and only ope that the time may not he fir distant when the lad.iexs of the Missionary Society will give the public another entertain nent of a .simihir character. "One of my sickhbeadaches," you w;ill heir ipeo~ fregnuintly samy, as if the comn pint was hopelessly inicurab'~e. As a mat ter of fact, Ayer's Pills not only relieve sick hndache but et'etua-ly remove the cause of this distressire coimpaint, and so bring about a lxinonen'at e ure. THREE BLACK ANGELS.

IN SOUTH CAROLINA Current News Durinr the Weok Through the State. REFUSES TO M1ODIFY THE INJUNCTION. Liquors for Private Use Will Continue to Come Into the state, says the Court, Other Happenings of Interest Through the Palmetto. CHARLESTON, S. C., June 2.-Judge Simonton entered a formal order of record in the United States circuit court here yesterday in the Donald Liquor case, refusing to modify the in junction order in the Donald case and refusing to suspend it until hearing an &ppeal by the supreme court of the United States and affi-ming the former position of the court that all persons in the state of South Carolina can now import into the state, beers, ales, ines and spirituous liquors for their own use and will be fully protected by the court in the exercise of this ad judged legal right to bring liquors into the state for their own use. Chief State Constable Holly has filed in affidavit in the court in which he lisclaims a-ay intention to wilfully dis :bey any order of the court or defy or how any contempt for its authority ind the court has amply vindicated its luthority by imprisoning three state onstables for seizing liqours imported ror personal use, and ordered all such iquors to te returned to the owners. The assistant attorney general of the state, speaking for the attorney gen ral, has assured the bench and the public in open court. that no liquors iereafter imported by any citizen into he state fcr personal use will be seized :y the state constables. The citizens )f the state may now continue - to ex rcise this right without fear of any nolestation or hindrance whatever. DIDN'T WISH TO HEAR HIM. Editor Dargan Is AdvIsed By the Edgetleld People Not to Speak. COLUMUS, S. C., June 28.-A special othe state from Edgefield, thus tells >f the refusal of the people of that :ounty to let John J. Dargan, of sumpter, editor of the Sumter Freeman ,vho is advocating the giving of politi al rights to the negro, speak there: Scenes on the streets of Edgfield yes erday would have been a disgrace to .ululand. It was stated in the papers: hat Colonel John J. Dargan would ;peak at Edgefield.

It Munt Ile So, as That's What They All Say of It. Especially for the South. Nrw Yomii, June 2.-Bradstreets to day says: Dominating business cond itions of the week are continued by a large demannd and further lincreases in prices of iron and steel. which have surprised even the trade. The jump ir rail prices and scarcity of the h;.her valua tions for nails have tended to produce tempor ary scarcity. With the further advances in prices of iron and steel should be coupled the gain of Ic. per pound for wool. which apparently began its journey to higher level about a fortnight ago. Better quotations have also been made for cheaper grade woolen goods. 2% cents per yard for prints. bessemer pig. billets. wheat, pork, lard. hogs. shoes and copper, --'- declines in prices are recorded for flour corn, oats, coffee. cotton. naval stores and cattle. Sugar, coal and lumber are pract:cally unchanged. Business failures in the United States for the last six months as reported to Bradstreets, show a maked falling off In the second quarter of the past six months as was to be expected, but not such a decline relatively as in the sec ond qearter of 1804 which resulted in a total for six months of 6,594, or one per cent more than last year. But the total liabilities have shrunk more than K.C00.000 from last year. This shows of a general revival of business at the south but the merchants of most of the leading cities in that region report that de mand continues very moderate and collections are slow. Cotton and fruit crops in the South Atlantic states promise well and the business outlook is reported encouraging. Incessant rains in Texas bave hurt the crops. R. G. Dun & Co., add: The volume o f business represented by ex changes through the principal clearing houses is for the past week 35.8 per cent larger than last year, a really surprising gain and only .7 of I per cent less tnan in 192. while the aver age for the month is 28.8 per cent larger than last year and 7.1 per cent less than in 1892. The return Is highly encouraging. In spite of the comparitive magnitude of speculative opera tions. STEEL AND IRON UPWARD. The Recent Advances Sustained and the Baroinetor Points to Better Business. ". CLEVEi.AND, 0., June 28.-The Iron Trade Review says: The advance in iron and steel is gaining momentum every week, and while there is no con cealment of the fear that things may be moving too rapidly for the health of the trade, everybody seems to be seriously trying to hold the market down. With their product engaged from sixty days to six months ahead, and inquiries and orders steadily grow ing, the mills and steel works are swinging along toward a condition that now lacks only a few elements of a boom. Bessemer pig has gone to $13.50. Pittsburg steel billets continue their upward march. Sales for the third quarter were made at $20 and S20.50 for Pittsburg, and a spot delivery sale is reported at 20.50. HEAVY DAMAGE SUITS.
