This week's issue of THE TIMES presents a commercial picture. Look at our advertising columns and con gratulate our business men for the spirit of push they are exhibiting. Next week we will have another batch of new ones. Those who think they see the Re form Movement destroyed on account of the rupture between Tillman and Irby had better rub their eyes and look again. The Reform Movement will go on even if the leaders have to be taken out and spanked into be having themse!ves. The atmosphere in the Constitu tional Convention had a sulphurous smell about it last Monday when the giants from Edgefield and the giants from Laurens and Spartanburg were swinging their clubs. No scene in a Roman Senate can be compared to this one. Ben Tillman carried his point after the heaviest battle of his life. Charles A. Calvo, Jr., was voted the convention printing, and It was right and propt r that he should get it. It would have been unjust to have given the work to any one else after the State Legislature had elected him State printer, and he has gone to the expense of fitting up his place with expensive machinery for the work-. The editor of THE TIMEs takes this method of returning thanks to his brother editors throughout the State for the many kind expressions from them recently. He will strive only the harder to sustain the repu -tatlon he has won and will endeavor osoconduct himself and his pe a to always be held in their high es - em Thiank you. gentlemen. We do not expect to hear any great outbursts of eloquence from our rep resentatives, although Captain Brad ham is afine speaker ; but we will bet a ginger cake that few delega tions will have more earnest workers on eommittees than ours. Our men believe in more work and less gab; so we are glad we did not become a candidate, for if we had and had5 been elected, they would have ex pelled us for having more gab and less work. The Clarendon delegation are ox the following committees: D. 3. Bradham on eminent domain an~ rights of suffrage; J. S. Cantey ox declaration of rights; J. M. Sproti on charitable and penal institutions, and 3. W. Kennedy on county gov ernent. An effort was made te have the members' aary raised from $to $4 per day, and our delegatiol to a man helped bury it. Our adle gation also to a man voted to chang the name of the new county fron Butler to Saluda. The charge in the Columbia StatE yesterday that President Evans ha~ falsified a vote in the Saluda--ButleJ matter is false, and should be rebuked by the Convention. Such a thrust i not only a reflection upon the presid ing officer, but every member of the Convention as well. A newspape editor who maliciously makes such a false charge should be taken before the bar of the Convention and ex plled from further privileges of thE floor. They should make him apolo gize or vamoose de ranche. The Columbia State is in favor of good roads, and we are glad that WE have found something on which WE can agree. Long ago we advocated~ this very thing, and we have n~ot given up the fight ; we expect yet tc sec the Legislature make some pro vision to have the roads worked and somebody held responsible for the work. Under the present system~ the way the roads are worked is a farce and a waste of tim~d money. By the way, Mr. Gonzales,bow would it do for youi to invite Coxey down here- toghelp us in the good-roadh cause ? The Constitutional convention has been at work about a week, and the deliberations are tempered with moderation. So far no factional feeling has been exhibited-Reform ers and Conservatives advocating and opposing the same measures. There is no disposition to run pell mll over matters and everything is to be considered carefully. A measure is offered for considera tion, and it is promptly referred to a proper committee; and we think Governor Evans deserves the "well done" from the entire people by the example set by him in the formation of the committees. The selections were made without considering.fac tions at all. Some of the most important com +me ma haded by Conservatives, It took about a week for the coD mittees to get organized and read for the proper handling of busines and from now on the hard work < the convention will come. We are satisfied a great many o flees will be abolished, a bran ne school system will be inaugurateo county courts will be establishe< and the government generally wi be r-n on a more businesslike basi In abolishing county offices we hol the members of the convention wi not abolish an office because the pul lie demand fewer offices, but in abo ishing offices they will wipe out sue as can be done away with withot injuring the public service. The establishing of a county COI with jurisdielon in testamentar matters is not what the people wan because the present courts, wit jurisdiction in matters testamentari are no expense to the people; thee are offices in which fees are charged and only such persons as hav business there are interested. The people want offices cut dow that are kept running out of the: taxes. If our lawmakers can devise som plan by which the present offices ea be consolidated - those which ar supported out of the taxes the peop] pay-then we can see where the r4 form and retrenchment comes in but if they simply create an offic that is to be supported by taxatio to take the place of one or two office which are not supported by taxatior their work will be nothing mor than a delusion and a snare. We see where it is proposed to ei tablish county courts with jurisdih tion in matters that are now in tb probate court. Of course, thi county court will have a judge at good salary, because no lawyer coul be induced to accept such a positio without a fair salary, and if ti measure passes a man who has n a license to practice law regardlei of his ability is qualified for tb place. It will be seen then it is not onl intended to wipe out an office whie is not supported by taxation, but is intended to create an office for lawyer, to be supported out of t1 people's money. This is a serious matter, and w hope our representatives will cari fully consider it. A WORD FOR OUR ADVEI TISERS. Men Who Believe in Pushing Bus ness-They Solicit Trade and Want the People to Know It. Among the most energetic business me in our midst is that enterprising and higl ly esteemed young merchant, W. E. Je kinson. who has only been a merchant bi a short time, and in that time he has bui up a business second to none. He adve tises the year round and we feel satlssie the Times has been largely instrumentali making his business what it is. No or can go into his storebult what they will be come inspressed with the activity displaye< and his shelves are always well arrange with flrst.class goods of every descenptiot A look at his advertisemenits will aiwa: kep yon izalveid as to what he keep and he always does 'behind his countea what he says in print. Every man to his profession is arule v should all adopt, but it is not always don< In the case of Dr. B~. B. Loryea we find ti rule strictly observed. He is a druggis and he devotes himself entirely to tha business. He keeps up with all the litera tre in his profession, and by doing so 1 has merited not only the confidence of h local patrons, but also the confidence of tt members of his profession. A iian me deceive an unsuspecting pubhic with pr tension that he knows his business, but 1 cannot deceive men who have made business a special study. Doctor Loryea knowledge as a druggist und compound of mediemnes is so well known and e teemed that he was selected by the Sta Pharmaetical Association as one of the e aminers to examine applicants for dipl mas. His constant advertisments keep ti people informed as to the stock he carrie so we will only add that he is always at h post to serve his trade. Opposite the county court house, Wo Pass, the manager of IL. Riff's bargai house, desiring to acquaint the people this county, has placed an advertisement I our columns which we want our readers1 read. His store is well stocked and MI ass will be found a plasant and dfab gentlman to do business with. He is he; to do business, and of course is taking h chances with competition. When yc cometo town goto hui and it will be pleasure for him to show you his goods. There is nothing that succeeds mo: than success, which statement is verified 1 the persistent efforts to battle with com petition on a large scale. J. W. McLec is known by every man, woman an 1child in Clarendon county, not only as merchant but as a man whose purse string are always loose to aid in a charitable< other worthy cause. He is e succossfi merchant and farmer. In both branches his business he allows no one'to excel hir hence his success in both. This year Mi Mcedwent North to buy his stock in ai ticipaton of a heavy fall and winter trad The taste displayed by him wouldc credit to a maker of fashion plates, ,lady can get anything in the dress gooi line. A gentleman can find anythingi any line that his heart and pocket-boc a for. Altogether his stock is tl et and best selected he has ever ha< and he earnestly asks his friends to cal him and give himself and polite and attei tivlerks an opportuity to show this in * and handsomie stock of goods as to show them $kae real, true meaning < "straight business?" -. A drugstore is not comglete without handsome clerk, because it is to one< these stores the good ladies go to buy a be of powder or a little rouge for a frieni and Dr. Brockinton, being a businei man with an eye to strict business, secure the services of handsome Charlie Epps mix and compound medicines. Tihis dira store is located opposite the court housi and its popularity is easily seen by th amount of business done. Everythin that a ftrst-class drug-store handles is har dled here, and Mr. Epps, who is in charg on account of the Doctor's immense on side practice, is constantly on the lookot to keep his stock up to the first-class notel At this store is one of the finest prescrii tion counters in the State, and at its mai rowed front one can have his back to tb street and see everything that goes on . the street. A visit to Dr. W. H. Brockir ton's drug store will not be amiss, and; you do not want to buy, Charlie will spa2 a few minutes of his valuable time entei taaning you. He will let you see hiu play with his kitts. One of the largest and most sucessfi merchants the American continent has ei er produce, said that he would hesitatet crdtamnwho was too stingy to adre tse. This man was H. B. Clafiin, and hi rason was, that a man too stingy to say i: col blacep type that he had goods for sal -- s Jinbiinano man, not suficiently er t- terprising to do business, was not one V build up a trade, but that he was a kind o0 a junk shop institution who preferred to d< business after every other merchant was it bed, and he did not want his place of bus iness known, only to the wharf-rats, rag pickers, and the sneaks. In other wordi heprefered to do business with question w able people in a questionable manner. The remarks of the great dry-goods prince however, does not apply to E. C. Horton and if Mr. Clafin was alive to-day and conk il procure a copy of The Manning Titues h( s would not hesitate to credit Mr. Horton for as his advertisement on another pag< ie shows he wants people to know thal 11 he is doing business, that he has a grani )- stock of goods for sale and that he does noi keep his business methods hid. The firur of Horton, Burgess & Co. built up a larg' h trade in this and adjoining counties, ani t they did it by thorough and sy.steuatic ad. vertising. Mr. Horton. the senior mem ber of that firm, having bought out the in terests of the other members, proposes t( Y keep up and if possible improve the higi standard the firm has made. His store ii fall, and his corps ot assistance is e ,ple.< to l:a'udle a large trade. e Do you ever? ever what? have a tooth. -clie? Dr. J. Frank Geiger in his dental parlors at the Manning Hotel is equippe e in first-class style to do dental work in ev. ery branch, and if you are not overly fas. tide ms, a visit to his office where he is sc comfortably arranged, would almost maki r you wish you had an old snag that yot could have pulled out just to see how il e feels. We are told that a certain yonnF lady has been picking at a hollow tooth foi two weeks and it just won't ache. Pooz e thing ! she ought to have it filled and tha e will give her a chance to see more of the Doctor. One of the prettiest stores in this town is e that of S. A. Rigby, and we venture to say a that no store in 'Charleston or Columbia can show up a better assorted or arranged stock. Mr. Rigby keeps everything and he 4 sells everything. He is another man that e is running a store for business and not for his health, and that he is succeeding is de picted in his jolly countenance and the I- sign of prosperity all around him. If- you want to buy goods of. the shoddy Cheap e John kind we would not advise you to go to Rigby's, but if you want first-lass goods, 2 the value of your money, you will find a them at Rigby's store. Mr. Rigby has won d the reputation of selling goods to create a competitors and he is as fond of competi tion as a child is of a new toy. It is such e men that make trade for a town and it is t on such men the trading public can de s pend. Were it not for men like Rigby a farmer would not find encouragment tc e bring his produce to market. Rigby's do. trine is to induce everybody to come tc Manning, give them high prices for whal Sthey want to sell, and sell them goods sc cheap they will be sure to come back. 't Owing to a lack of space notices of on1 a Sumter advertisers will appear in our nexl e issue.
