A delegation from Florence is at work against the passage of the cigarette bill, now on its way through the Legislative mill. Senator Tillman will send to any ad dress, some fine tobacco seed on applica tion. If you want the seed, drop him a card. Mr. Isaac V. Bardin, died at his home in Charleston last Friday. The deceased was well known to many of the people of this county. There is a dearth of news this week, par tially caused by bad weather and the peo ple being busy getting their lands in shape for another crop. The number of horses killed for con sumaption as tood in Paris last year was 23,15,; thie being exclusive of 43 mules and 383 donkeys. The brigade staff of the first brigade of cavalry have been ordered to assemble in Charieston to participate in the Washing ton's birthday parade. Liquor shipped into .this State C. 0.

The Legislature is invited to be in'.har - le'stonl to-morrow, and of course, they will gas the railroads carry them free, and they will not lose their per diezo either. The Legislature spent last Monday in slasting at everybody else's salary but their >wn, and with all the, little insignificant :nts, they make taxes get higher every year. Married this evening at the residence of the bride's parents, near Davis, Rev. WV. A. I'itts, pastor of the Santee circuit,and Miss. Sue Davis, eldest -laughter of Hon. C. M. Davis. Married last Wednesday, at Bethel 'chur'ch, near Privateer, Sumter County, Rev. Gi. T. Greshama and Miss Mabelte Beckham. Rtev. C. C. Brown, of Sumter, performed the service.

Her remains were in .erred on the following Thursday in the Oak Grove cemetery. Died at his home in Barnwell, Hon. A. P. Aldrich, at the age of eighty-three years. Ele was one of the most remarkable pubiic nen in South Carolina. Everybody knew and loved "old Judge Aldrich. If sick, delay no longer. Speedily cured it Brockinton's drug store. The supper to be given by Damon Lodge, No. 13, has been postponed from the 18th ust., to the evening of March 4th, owing :o the absence of a number of members who tre attending the naval display in Charles on. Pedro Meyers, colored, and two of his ons, have been convieted at Georgetown wpon the charge of arson. The Meyers anhily at one time lived in Manning and some of them were sent to the penitentiary ~rom here. Cards are out announcing the coming an.rriage of Miss Eiberta China, a daugh er of Dr. A. J. China, of Sumter, and Dr. J. J. Watson, of Edgetield. The wedding .s to take place on March 2nd at the First Nifethodist church in Sumter. Elsewhere will be seen a card from Mr. John t. Baynesworth, of Sumter, offering his services to survey and level lands. Mr. IHaynesworth is a surveyor by profession md parties desiring work~ in that line will jo well to communicate with him. In another column "Justice" is called 2pon to explain his strong language in last week's T~iF.S, and we are real glad that Justice ' has aroused somebody. P erhaps -nt of this controversy will comne go od to :he county. Let us wait an d see. Ga*rden seed, all varieties at IR. B.i Loryea's. WXhat we published last week as a rumor is not without foundation. We have been reliably informed that as soon as the Senate idio~urn~s Senator Raigin will tender his resignation and he will at once enter upon he duties of chief clerk in the Secretary of Our town authorities have gotteu :-ftei the fakirs and they have succeeded in put. ting some of them in the lock-up. We think it Would be a good idea when any more of these chaps are arrested to turn them over to Judge Dickson and let him 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 ordering the offender to appear before the intendant, who imposed a fine of two dol lars. 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 by by Mr. John W. Rhame, of Silver. The horse recently trotted so fast that a dozen boxes of matebes which Mr. Rhame had in his buggy caught on tire and the blaze only succeeded in burning off the heads. We did not see the horse nor the matches, but a neighbor of Mr. Rhame told us all about it. Red and white onion sets at 1. B. Lor yeas. In the State Supreme Court an order was issued dism;ssing the appeal for want of prosecution, with costs, in the case of A. F. C. Cramer of Charleston, plaintiff, respond ent, against 8 J. Clark of Manning. de fendant, appellant. This is the case in which the brick store next to Loryea's drug store was involved. A friend called on us yesterday to ascer tain which will be the big day in Charles ton and whether we knew "if the gunboats 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. Come to the Times office and buy a Websters unabridged dictionary cheap. 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. Red and white onion sets for sale at R. B. Loryea's. 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. P'ACKSVILLE NEWS. Mr. James F. Richbourg, our new nagistrate, has opened his office in ur lown next door to Troublefield rothers. We are glad to have the udge so ziear us.

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.

THREW AWAY HIS CANES. Mr. D. Wiley, ex-postmaster, Black 3reek, N. Y., was so badly afflicted with -heumatism that he was only able to hob >le around with canes, and even then it :aused him great pain.

C, Manning, S. C., Feb 1st 1897.1 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.
