get a shake at them.
A colored man leading a calf and a cou
pie of dogs biting the calf created quite a
sensation last Monday and drew a crowd
on the streets to watch the cruelty exhibited
Warden Lesesne put a stop to the frolic by

We understand that a dramatic company
composed of some of the good young people
of Sumter are thinking of producing in
Manning shortly,the play "Captain Dick,"
and we hope they will not get out of the
notion. The people here would greet the
company with a warm welcome and a
crowded house, we believe.
The fastest horse in the county is owned

did not see the horse nor the matches, but
a neighbor of Mr. Rhame told us all about
it.

A friend called on us yesterday to ascer
tain which will be the big day in Charles

will be in the street parade." We told him
that John Berryman was now out, trying
to arrange for the street parade and if he
succeeded, it was possible for the gun boats
and battleships to be paraded through the
streets.
We are glad to learn that some of our
property owners are contemplatiig the
erection of dwelling houses to rent. This
is much needed right now, because there
are parties desiring to become residents
and they cannot be accommodated with
houses. Manning is in a fair way to grow,
and will grow if her own people do not
dwarf her by allowing their building lots
to stand unimproved.

Died last Thursday, Mr. B. A. Walker,
aged about 69 years. -Mr. Walker was one
of the oldest merchants in this town and
he was a man who had the entire con
fidence of the community. He took a live
interest in public affairs and although
never an aspirant for office himself ren
dered valuable aid to his friends. Mr.
Walker's reputation as a b-isiness man was
known throughout the Union, and by his
strict integrity, he built up a credit far
above that which he used.
Taxes! Taxes! Taxes! Where does the
money go? Everything the producer makes
is getting lower, and everything he buys is
cheaper, but our taxes grow bigger aEn
bigger every year. Last year the people
complained because the levy was 103 mills
and was distributed as follows: State, 4.;,
County 3,, Schools, 3. This year the strings
have been tightened to a higher pitch and
the tune the tax collector will sing, will be,
State 5, County 4, and School 3. Total, 12
mill.. which is ]} mills more than last year,
or a difference of about $3,000.00 to sweat
for. Another shaking up is needed, and it
is bound to come. We imagine we hear
the rumblings of the mighty storm.
The meeting of the Manning Guards
held last Saturday, from what we can learn,
was a disappointment, and we fear that
unless something is done right away this
organization will fail to organize. The
number of newly enlisted is about twenty
two, considerably less than the legal
requirements. We hope this company will
not disband, as it is a protection to the
community and our citizens should feel it a
-duty to see that the company continues its
existence. At the next meeting we hope
the muster roll will be filled up. There is
plenty of good material here.
Nearly every town in this State the size
of Manning has a graded school, and we
see no good reason why this town should
:e without such an institution. An effort
has been made twice to have a graded
chool here, but owing to a misunderstand
ing of 'the legal requirements it did not
meet with success. If the matter is taken
hold of now and properly presented to the
axpayers we believe they would vote for
the measure. We need cheaper school
facilities ; it would a-lvance the material
nterests of the town to have a graded
chool, and we hope that some one will go
to work and push the scheme.

Our county taxes will be three-quarters
f a mill more this year than they were last.
The supply bill as adopted yesterday was
four mills for county purposes and last year
t was three and one-quarter. The addi
ional levy is for the purpose of paving off
he back indebtedness, we are informed.
The taxpayers will not relish this much and
they will no doubt wonder why it is that
nth thousands of dollars going into the
reasury from the Dispensary and from an
ncreaseli assessment of property,that there
sould be an increase instead ot a decrease
n the tax levies. When will the day come
hen the people will take this matter in
and and relieve themselves of being bur
ened with heavy taxes. Our representa
ives are not to blame, they have only to
rovide the means to pay off accrued debts
hat credit business methods contract. Last
ear we are satisfied the County Board
worked as economically as was possible for
hem to do. In fact, the condition of the
rads and bridges show how sparingly the
oney was used, but the county was bur
ened with an old debt, contracted years
go, and we are still endeavoring to clear
t up.

healthy body, because with approach of
spring and the beginning of warmer weather
your physical system will undergo radical
changes. All the impurities which have
accumulated during colder weather must
now be expelled or serious consequences
will result. The one true blood purifier
prominently in the public eye to-day is
Hood's Sarsaparilla. Its record of cures is
unequalled. Its sales are the largest in the
world. A few bottles of Hood's Sarsa
parilla will prepare you for spring by puri
fying and enriching your blood and toning
and vigorating your whole system.

The readers of this paper will be p leased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure
in all its stages, and that is catarrh. Hall's
Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure
known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work.

'POTASH IN AGRICULTURE'
[s the title of a pamphlet published by the
3ermuan Kali Works, No. 93 Nassau street,
New York, N. Y. This book is known to
nany of our readers from its first edition,
published a few years ago. The second
idition contains many valuable improve
nents.
The contents embody a collection of re
muits obtained with fertilizers at our experi
nent stations. It would appear from these
:onclusions that many brands of fertilizers
2ow on the mark~et do not contain as much
potash as they should for the production of
he best results. It would certainly pay
every farmer to write for a copy of this
>ook, which we understand is sent free.
Our people are growing more and :nore
n the habit of looking to for
he latest and best of everything in~ the
Irugline. They sell Chamberlain's Cough

Some folks think that advertisini
doesn't pay. I believe it does. 0
course it dosen't pay if you make tb
public wade through columns o
threadbare trade phrases and worth
less promises of "the cheapest" goods
"everything below cost" and such dri
rot. The public know that one fel.
low ought to be able to buy just a
cheap as another, and if he don't
then he's not a good buyer. Then,
if everything went at cost, a mer
chant would soon have to go out ol
business. Of course, articles are
occasionally sold at cost, but there is
always a reason, and if you will press
for it you can get it-from me. But
I believe the people are willing to put
up with about six inches of advertis
ing each week, and that's the amount
I propose to worry you with each
week for the next several months.
You already know that I keep a
Choice Line of Shoes, also Staple Dry
Goods and Notions, and a Full Line
of both Heavy and Fancy Groceries.
Regarding the prices, that always de
pends upon how cheap a merchant
can buy goods himself, and how little
profit he is willing to put up with.
As to the former I will say nothing;
as to the latter, I guess I can put up
with as small profits as anyone else.
When you plant your garden call
for Ferry's Seed. Also have a lot of

THE RANGE
OF BRAINS.
Last Sunday's turkey
spoiled- husband mad
servant ugly--the ancient
stove did its best-its old
enough to rest-what a
wood appetite it had! Ain't
you sorry that you did not
present your wife with a
wood and temper saver.
An intelligent range that
wont ruin anything unless
you let it? The Home
Pride Range rand
Cooking Stoves is
what you want. It
saves enough wood and
food to pay for itself in half
a year; winter is only half
gone, so come in and see the
stove, at
