Yesterday it had the trial justices before it with their books. The election is over, and it behooves us all to let factional politics alone and go to work to increase the business of tle tow'; and county. Our fellow-townsman, Mr. A. B. Gallo way, received last night the sad intelli gence of the death of his father at Lydia, Darlington county. Supervisor Felder was in town yesterday bragging on the fine melons his neighbors J. S. Cantey and Billy Coskrey raised this year. but we think it is all a great big blufi and that neither of these gentlemen have any melons. Whoever says that Mr. L. K. Howle did not raise any watermelpns this year don't know what they are talking about because he brought two of as tine melons as we have seen this year. They were of the old fashioned Bradford kind. Last Sunday the Rev. J. U. Gough, after a month's well-earned vacation, preached an able and eloquent sermon at the Bap tist Church. A large con.:regation greeted the popular pastor. which listened at tentively to the discourse. Hon. W. W. Harris, secretary of the State board of control, has been chosen to t'ie distinguished position of Grand Cy clops in the order of Son i of Rest. As soon as his private business warrante it he will make a tour of the State to organize subor dinate lodges. The Manning Academy will open next Monday morning. Mrs. Alsb-book is better prepared for her work now than she has ever been, and she will be ably assiste- by the Rev. J. G. Beckwith. Those desiring to scnd their children should enter them on the first day, which is next Monday. We would like for some of our readeis to send us the name of the author that penned the following lines: "Our passions attack us and we resist them * because we know they are our enemies. Our prejudices imprison us, and we muist take our jailers for a guard of honor." The good housewives have taken alvan tage of the great fruit crop this season. as is showaibytie number of cans and jars sold by-our.nerchants so far this season. We. took t1e'ounds yesterday morning and aseerimne'd that 2,564 jars and cans bad been soldind that the demand btill continues. A team of base ballists cotuposed of ji veniles from Sumter are playing 'a match game this afternoon with our Manning kids. Ikey Appelt, the short-stop of the locad team, got red-headeil when told that he needed a inarket-basket or a freight car to stop the hot liners from the Sumter batters, and has remained so ever .ince. We understand that a barrel of ,onions will be donated to the Sauter bays, should they sustain defeat. The mysterious disappearance of an able article from the pen of our esteemed friend, Dr. J. L. Easterling, has caused the editor of Tu TnmEs considerable Lu n'.oyance in trying to fix up a satisfactory e-xplanation of the affair, but relief came at last when, this morning, the doctor came along and there was discovered something projecting from his coat-tail pocket. The doctor's attention was called to it, and lo! and behold, it was the sell same article that was purloined trom this office. Now, who could have done this? Surely not the doctor himself ; it would be hard to convince us of that fact, although circumstantial evidence points that way. Merchants, our next issue will be in September aXd you should send in your fall advertisements. Manning has only one newspaper to support and it should be supported liberally. There isjiothing that helps a town more than a go6d live'mews paper and this every unprejudiced man will admit TUE Massiso Tutxs to be. The business men of this town have not given us as uiuch patronage as they should-in fact their advertising business has been very ngeagre-but we hope that with the bright prospect of a good fall .trade our merchants will be more public spirited and do more advertising. Does advertising pay ? Ask those who advertise regularly and they will tell you that it is the best investment a business man can make. Now that we have the only paper in the county will not cause us to take advantage of our patrons; our rates will be the same s when we had active epposition. Hand in your advertisements eariy and often. Nearly all women have good her, though many ar-e gray, and few are bald.

The exercises of the association were conducted by Mr. F. 0. Richardson last Sunday afternoon in the Presbyterian church. He spoke on the parable of the barren fig tree in St. Luke as applied to unfruitful professors of religi )n of every age. It exhibits a rule observed in the divine administration, which should strike terror to all who enjoy spiritual privileges without improving them. Every man is allowed a certain time of trial, during which he enjoys the means and helps necessary to piety. If he con tinues ignorant of God's visitations, de spises the riches of the divine mercy, and goes on obstinately in sin, these advan tages are commonly taken away from him, his day of grace ends, the utmost term of God's patience is passed forever, and the man is delivered over to a hardened heart, after which his repentance and salvation become impossible. Messrs. WV. C. Davis and WV. C. Chantiler spoke of God's mercy to give relief, how ever inveterate the sinner. He encourages him to apply and wait. -'Call upon me in the day of trouble, and I will deliver thee and thou shalt glorify me." Miss Nonie Harvin presided at the organ. The association meets next Sunday at 5 o'clock in the Baptist church. They wii! be conducted by Dr. George L. Dickson. CLA.REN~DON TOBACCO Brought Good Prices at the Darling ton Sale Last Week. At the tobacco sale in Darlington last week Mr. Jamnes D. Reaves of the Fork sold some tobacco, which he raised, for $1.05 per pound. The tobacco raised in Clarendon is much sought after on account of its fine quality. Sumter is to have a sale in the new tobacco warehouse to mor row, and we expect that some fir~e prices will be paid to induce our Clarendon planters to carry the weed t> that city. Sixty-five wagon loads of tobacco from Salem went to Darlington last week, had out of this number nineteen was from one neighborhood in Douglass township. These nineteen Douglass farmers sold about 12,000 pounds of tobacco from 8) to 27 cents per pound. The Hardy Brothers received 27 cents per pound for their en tire lot. The general average received was 18 cents per pound for 12,000 aggregating $,160. Now this is from a small portion or one neighborhood. We have not been able to ascertain how many pounds the other forty-six Salem farmers carried over and sold, but we have ascertained that all of them would naturally come to Manning if the proper marketing facilities were here. Just think of it, from one small neigh borhood over $2,000 wvorth of produce was sold. It does not take a wise men to see that where so much money is paid out a great deal of it is spent for goods. We are informed that Douglas township alone will sell over $30,000 worth of tobacco this year. Merchants, this is a pointer for your con sideration. RELIGIOUS NOTICE. Preaching way be expected in the Pres byterian Church, September 1st, at 11:30 a. m. and 8:30 p. m. Prayer meeting on Friday of this week at 530 o'clock in the afternoon. A FEW POINTERS For the Delegates to the Constiti tional Convention to Consider. SUFFRAGE, SCHOOL AND LIEN Questions the Most Important to Come Up and Be Discussed by That August Body. Lon: O.%. August 26, 1895. Editor The Manning Times: Seeing your kind ofire'r to any one to express their views as to what should be done in the Constitutional convention, I thought I w mild advance soiun- idras UpOL ont- cr two of the more in-ortait isu, s that are likely to conie L.efore that hay. My advice to the delegattes eleeteid from this county--who were chosen by all the white people of both factions-is that they should never be inlucel to take part in any caucus, for, as we all know, a caucus only carries out the wishes of partisans and demagogues ; creates distrust and con tention, makes bad laws and, as the Conservatives had no candidates in the field in this county and voted for the reg ular ticket, our delegates would, in my judgment, be very foolish to go into any caeus ; but they .should be broad and liberal in their views; listen well to all subjects, and vote at all times for the be.t interests of the whole people. The suffrage question is one cf great im portance, and has caused this State much trouble, anxiety and expense in the pas', and should be settled so as Lrii g about peace an.1 unity amoi4 the whites an( yet be constitutional. While I an not very iamiliar with con stitutional law, I think it a good ide; to give each and eveW man in the State one vote and one extra for $500 worth of prop erty and ever, real or personal-arid not but the two votes to any one man, no matter how much he was worth-to secure white supremacy. It will be seen from this that too munch power will not be given to any one individual ; that the elections would be fair, and fraud forever wiped out. By this method we would soon have our ofnievs filled with men of ability and in tegrity, and not demagogues and coat-tail swingers. Then -.n era of prosperity would set in in this State, and how much better. we will feel whei we know that eleet:on frauds are a thing of the past and can point with pride to honest govern ment honestly administered. It is true, it would place the negro in the minority which would be right and just-and then we could deal horestly with him and give him his vote without being hurt. Then there is the school question. I think the two-mill tax should stand and that the poll tax should be increased -to $2. Then let every voter say to what purpose his taxes should be placed, and have no more equalization of the school fund; abolish the office of school commissioner; at each general election three men should be elected as trustees of eack township. These should have control of the schools, as heretofore, and their orders be good to the county treasurer. Now, let us summarize : It the two-mill school tax ad the Si poll tax kept the schools open three months, the same school tax, with the additiona' sl poll tax and the commissioner's salary added, and no equalhzation -letting every body's money go to the school of his choio.-I feel satis tied, that the schools will run seven or eight months in the yea~r, and the board of trustees can always te-l by looking up the assessed value of all property in their township, how much they have. Every indi vidual would thus be interested in the taxe. for his school, and this would cer tainly cause a boom in every country school in the State, and that is what we need above all things. The lien law is one of the worst curses that has ever been visited upon our com monwealth, and the sooner abolished the better. Let every man live on his honor instead of being dishonest and teaching the rising generation to steal and lead a dishonest life. For this reason I .vould request our delegates to do all in their power to wipe out this foul blot that now iests upon our fair escutcheon. Well, Mr. Ediitor, the above are the ideas of a farmer and a Conservative, and hope that they may prove of benetit to our delegates. Last Sunday the children of the Oakley Methodist Episcopal and the Dudley Bap tist Sunday schools celebrated Children's Day by appropriate exercises, wvhich in cluded a cantata representing "Faith, Hope and Love" in their mission on earth, and the ultimate reward to all who exercised these thiee grand Christian principles. The church was handsomely decorated for the occasion. Miss Addle McFaddin pre sided at the organ, and rendered the beautiful music of this piece in an artistic manner. "Faith" was represented by Miss Belle Rteames, "Hope" by Miss Lillie Reese, and "Love' lby Mis Letitia Reams, who acquitted themselves in fine style in their respective characters. The church edifice was filled to over flowing with an appreciative audience from nearly every portion of the State, besides a good many from Georgia and Florida. Everybody went home well pleased andi Children's Day will long be remembered by those who had the good fortune to at tend. Mrs. E. D.' Hodge has been quite sick for the past week, but is improving. Mrs. James Reaves' youngest child was buried last Saturday. Miss Bettie Dukes of Orangeburg is vis iting Miss Addie MaFaddin.

Hodge of Florida, with her two sons-Frank and Evans-is in Clar endon, her old home, spending some timae with relatives. Crops are in tine condition in this neigh borhood. The hustling town of Alcolu is building up very rapidly and seems to be full of energy and enterprise. A cotton factory is soon to be established there. It yManning dloes not look sharply to her laurels, Alcoln w"ill soon outstrip her as the commercial center of Claren don county. 1:. D. in. .OUR MERCHANTS Doing Nothing to Encourage the Farmners to Market Their Products Here. Our business men must certainly sce that they arc standing in their own light when they let a large portion of our farm ers take their produce to another county for the want of marketing facilities here at home. Where is the business sense ex hibited in sitting down with arms folded to watch the procession of farmers with th-ir wagons loaded with produce passing the store doors on their way to Darlington and Sumter? 'Tis true it will cost a few paltry dollars to build a warehouse, but what does the cost amount to compared with the increase of trade and other bene ticial results ? The faurmers of Claren don would naturally do their bartering and t ading at their county seat, but how can they when our buciness men make -no ar rangement to handle all of their produce ? Manning is well equipped for the handling of cotton and will pay as high prices as any other town, but we should also be equipped to handle tobaccco, and we must be if we want to keep trade at home. We have urged this matter several times and we ex pect to continue it until our business men 9E The Best eMEDAL Remedy for wORsI' STOMACH, AlI Liver, and Bowel Complaints AYER'S PILLS Received E Highest Awards MEDALI.
