Jenkinson has contracted for additionlal space. lie advertises the entire year aind be does not hesitate to say that 'his advertising in the Tnts pays him handsomely. The examination for the Citadel cadet ship comes off on the 12th instant and the boys are on the stool ot expectancy. Only one can win the prize, and the suc'cessful one wdll have something.to be proud of as his competitors are foemien wortiy of his steel. In the next issue of THZE TDIEs the ad vertising columns will be full of interest ing matter from our wideawake merchants. The merchants of live towns advertise in their local papers. and the merchants of our town who want to sell their goods for the cash will do so also. Remember every pair of scissors or shears bought at Brockington's is guaran teed. The young folks had a pleasant enter tainment in the Piesbyterian church grove last evening.

These three farmers can divide the honors of bringing the first bale. If you wish a stylish walking hat, call at the Racket store and purchase a "Wind sor." The merchants of Manning are so busy opening their new goods that they frown at us whenever we go into their stores these days in search for news. We asked one of them for the news yesterday and his reply was, "tell the people Manning will under sell any town in this section of the State, and that she will pay highest prices for cotton." "Ruby" machine oil for gins and mills for sale by R. B. Loryea. A very interesting game of base ball was played in Manning last Wednesday be tween a club from Sumter and one of this place. The game at its close stood 7 to 7, with an inning to be played by the home team, but the Sumter boys would not play the last inning and gave the game upi which was a victory for our boys. The Sumter boys came to Manning in buoyant spirits, but left with their plumage droop ing. Try a sample bottle of our Palmetto Har ness Oil only 15c. R. B. Loryea.

Genuine Buttermilk Soap. 3 cakes for 25c. R. B. Loryea. The late 11. 1B. Clallin, one of America's greatest business men, once saidl the busi ness ability of a merchant can safely be judged by the way he advertises. If a mer chant uses printer's ink freely, he is a man who pushes his business for all it is worth; but if he simply uses the "Want" columns to save money, he will count the threads in a yard of cloth and run his trade off by his stinginess. A well-displayed advertise ment is a first-elass investment, much more so than a cheap clerk who thinks he knows his business when he don't.

Had she lived four days longer she wo uld~ have been thirteen y'ears of age. Janie Belle was born Sepet. 1, 1882.

She was sick eight weeks, and while w~e did not entertain much hope for her re cvery, when the end camoe we Qouldl not realize that our little one was gone.

C., Sept, 3, 1895. Editor Manning Timer: Please allow me sufficient space in your worthy paper to thank the white friends or the valuable assistance given us during the unfortunate dlestruction of our church Sunday night, and in behalf of the trus tees would acknowledge with grateful hearts their expressions of sympathy and ask their united prayer that we may be enabled to rebuild our house of worship. Respectfully, GLO. H. Brnowy, DESTROYED BY FIRE. The Trinity A. M. E. Church, Par sonage and School House Burnt to the Ground. TOTAL LOSS OF ABOUT $4,000. No Insurance on the Buildings-The Church the Finest in the Town of Manning. THE SKY ILLUMINED FOR MILES An Appeal for Aid Issued-Services for the Present to Be Held at the Fair Grounds Building. Barely had the town bell finished tolling the hour of eight last Sunday night, and while the church bells were ringing, fire broke out in the colored Methodist Church. In a few minutes the entire building was enveloped in flames. Crowds responded to the alarm, but could render no assistance other than to save the bible, pulpit, organ and sofa from the burning church building and the con tents of the parsonage, which was situated a few feet away. We understand that not all was saved from this building, as the Rev. George II. Brown lost several articles of furniture and nearly everything in his kitchen. The lames leaped high into the air, lighting up the entire town and the sur rounding country -for miles around. The church was b)ulit entirely of wood, and did not take long to burn to the ground. The tire soon spread to the adjacent buildings-the old church builiing, which was being used as a school house, aued :he parsonage. These buildings were in close proximity to the church, and they, in con junction with the church building, were entirely consumed. The church building was by far the prettiest in Manning. The colored people were vLry proud of their church, and they had a right to be proud of it. It was a sad sight to ste .-tuch a building destroyed. There is another sad feature connected vvith this affair : The loss was complete. Not one cent of insurance was on the property. The church did carry a policy of $1,000, but by some means they allowed it to laps3 ; they never did carry insurance on the other buildings. The debt on the property was compara tively small.-about $250, and the trustees had a meeting a few minutes before the fire broke out to devise means to pay the bairice due. There are various tales told as to how the fire originated. but we think the correct one is that the sexton, James Delaine, ac cldeutlly dropped a lighted lamp and it broke and ignited the oil. He threw mater on it, which had the effect of spreading the flames, and before any assistance could arrive they bad become uncontrollable. The entire loss is estimated to be about $4,000. The church has isued the following ap. peal : Missrso, S. C., Sept. 2, 1895. To ....................... . A great misfortune has overtaken us in the total destruction of Trinity A. H. E. Church building, parsonage and school house on Sunday night, September 1, 1895, and the loss will aggregate $4.000. We now appeal to the friends of the Christian church everywhere for such aid as their sympathy will prompt thenm to give to enabh- us to erect another edifice on the same site. We feel contident that the cause itself th,. erecting of a Temple of Worship to God-will raise uip friends in our behalf in this hour of our direful dlistress who will rally around one common .standard1 and make us feel that the cause of the eburebs is one, and that, although the Hlandl of Providence has smitten us moightily, we still have an abiding faith in the mnysterious workings. of His ways as being "pst all tinding out." We suffer an additionial calamit y in the loss of the insurance on the buildings - leaving us without any f'unds whatever to begin the work.

CHESTEn, Aug. 29.- A deep gloom hovers over the city today, occasioned by the sad death of ex-Mayor J. C. Jame;, which oc curred last night at about 8:30 o'clock. Ile had been sick four weeks, being attacked at first with malarial fever, which in the past ten days developed into the most des perate case of typhoid fever and pneumo nia. Everything that medical skill could offer was done for the sick man, 1:ut to no avail; the malignant type of this awful dis ease got in its dreaded work. Mr. James was in the thirty-fifth year of his age and was a native of Cheraw. and had resided in Chester for the past ten years. He was a prominent member of the Chester bar and a us-ful citizen in this section. He was popular with all classes, and as one of the young men of Chester, took a leading part in the upbuilding of his city, and made a distinguished stand in the practice of his profession. He married the eldest daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Hardin of this place, and his devoted wife, from her con stunt and careful nursing during the first part of his illness, contracted the same type of fever and is at present in a most critical coudition. He leaves three young children, brothers and sisters, aged parents and a host of friends to inourn his untime ly death. This whole community is grieved at the great loss and every one feels the deepest sympathy for the aged parents and mem bets of both families. Mr. James was a member of the Masonic fraternity and of the Knights of Pythias. His funeral services will be preached to day from the Presbyterian church, of which he was a consistent member. The remains will be interred in Evergreen cemetery and the active pallbearers will be composed of the members of the bar with honorary pall bearers of Masons and Knights of Pythias. The ticetas-d was a brother of Mrs. Hay nem-worth D. Plowlen, of Manning, and was onee a law partner of Col. 11. Prcs,1ey Barron in his Kingstree office. lie had a good many acquaintances in this county and was very popular with those he came in contact with. ---------- HOW'S THIS?
