Clemson College opened last Thursday with 130 scholars, and among the new entries is Mr. Oddie Stukes, a son of Mr. J. T. Stukes of this place. The cash sales of this town are good con sidering the size and the time of year. One of our advertisers told us that his cash sales are very satisfactory. Ladies, have you tried a pair of Brock inton's fine scissors? If not, why not?. The United States Court, which meets in Charleston the first Monday in A pril, has drawn Maj. C. S. Land, of Foreston, on the grand jury and Messrs. W. M. Plowden and F. M. Benbow, of Manning, on the petit Jur-y. The Governor has appointed the town ship commissioners, but who they are, we do not know, as the Supervisor has not been offiially informed.

Our Sapervisor has not long been in office, but instead of complaIning to us, he is the man and we are sure he will appreciate it if the parties will go tohim when there is cause for complaint. There will be services in the Baptist church next Sunday as follows: 11:30 a. mn., the pastor will preach a sermon on -'Sanctification or Holiness;" 5 p. in., an object sermon to the young people (all); 7:30 p. mn., sermon, "'Drifting from the Church." The public are cordially wel comed. The property owners of this town will find it to their interests to come together and devise a plan for Manning to have a graded school. Such an institution is sadly needed here and those who own property should interest themselves at once, because if they wait until the dull season has passed, then another year will roll ~around and we will still be without the school. Bed and white onion sets for sale at R. B. Loryea's. The many friends of Mr. Louis Levi will regret to learn that he has severed his con nectien with his father's store, where, we may say, he was raised and highly esteemed by everybody. Mr. Levi has determined to enter into the agricultural pursuits on the Santee, and if Farmer Levi makes as great a success as Merchant Levi, his going into the farming business wilt be an incentive to more young men. There is a disposition among many of our young men to seek em ployment away from the farm, and mer chandising is generalily the attraction, but here is a young man with every induce ment that the mercantile business holds out. who believes that farm life is the happiest of all pursuits, and by example he says : "Boys stick to the farm." Onion sets at B. B. Loryea's. Our friends are doing the postmaster of this town an unintentional injustice by signing a petition for the appointment of someone gelse, unless they really want a change. 'We have reason to believe that the post office at Manning will remain as at present, for at least one year, unless the patrons of the office want a change. It is simply ridiculous to see how easy it is for some people to be gulled into sigaing peti tions. If those who have signed a petition, matters not how it is worded, do not mean to ask for a change, it is their duty to have their names taken off at once. The word ing of a petition is never read, and when the new administration takes charge, those urging the appointment of a Republican *wil show the number of names and the character of the petitioners who are asking the applicant's appointment and thereby creating an impression that a change is wanted. The postmaster knows full well the patrons do not want him displaced, and he also knows they woula willingly sign a petition for his retention, but by signing the petition now in circulation, they are not doing themselves nor the postmaster justice. In a few words we will ask those who have signed the petition with ieference to the post office that do not want a change to go and have their names erased and see that it is done. Oar people are growing more and more in the habit of looking to....for the latest and best of everything in the drugline. They sell Chamberlain's Cough B'emedy, fa'nons fot its cures of bad colds, croup and whooping cough. When in need of such a medicine give this remedy a trial -and you will be more than pleased with the esut Sold by R. B. Eorvat the druggist A P.istor's Tribute. Mrs. Susan Emily Rowe, wife of Mr. J L. Rowe, was born in which is now known as Clarzndon County, S. C., in 1827. She joined the Methodist Church in 1844, and was married to J. L. Rowe in 1845. She died January the 12th. 1897. It was not the writer's privilege to see her during her last sickness, but in all of his previous pastoral visits he found her cheerful and seemingly contented and happy. Some days before her death, she seemed to realize that the time of her departure was near at hand, and spoke to the daugh ter, who waited at her bedside about it. There was no fear, but trusting in Jesus her Savior, she was ready to go. "Blessed are the iead who die in the Lord." W. H. HODGEs. Manning, S. C., Feb. 22, 1897. TONES 'UP THE SYSTEM. Neva, S. C., Dec. 30, 1896.-"I have taken several bottles of Hood's Sarsaparilla, and it has given satisfaction. I recommend it to anyone who is run down in health and troubled with tired feeling and impure blood. It tones up the system and puts it in a natural condition." G. H. GAssAwAY.

Stopplebein-Command ing South Carolina Cavalry-Summerville, S. C. Sza:-On behalf of the Executive Com mittee and the Military Department of the Tennessee Centennial Exposition, we ex tend to you, and through you to your mili tarv command, a most cordial invitation to visit our Exposition in Nashville, Tenn., which will be open on May 1st and con tinue until October 31st of this year. It k intended that extra special railroad rt -- ,ot to exceed one cent per mile, will be given to all military organizations be longing to the National Guard of the dif ferent States. The Committee desires to make the Mili tary Department one of the principal features of the Exposition. The military camp will probably be lo cated within the grounds and supplied with excellent filtered drinking water. It is intended to supply tentage, the organiza tions to provide all other necessities. Commands can come prepared to do their own cooking and messing, or arrange ments will be made at very reasonable rates in or near the camp for messing. We trust that your command will be able to hold its annual encampment with us. There is a suitable field for military ma neouvers near the camping grounds, and every assistance possible will be given you. Timely notice should be given the Mili tary Committee of the date your organiza tion will arrive and how long it will be present. A military detail will meet your com mand on its arrival and escort it to the camp. For further information, apply to the Military Committee. Tery respectfully, Cmanx STES, Adj. Gen. of Tenn., Chf. of Mil. Depmt. HEmx C. WaDz, Capt. U. S Army, Sec. of the Mil Dep'm't. ELECTRIC BITTERS. Eiectric Bitters is a medicine suited for any season, but perhaps more generally needed, when the languid exhausted feel ing prevails, when the liver is torpid and sluggish and the need of a tonic and alter ative is felt. A prompt use of this medi cine has often averted long and perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No medicine will act more surely in counteracting and freeing the system from the malarial poison. Head ache, Indigestion. Constipation, Dizziness yield to Electric Bitters. 50c. and $1.00 per bottle at It. B. Loryea's drug store. Things Worth Knowing. There is nothing so good for burns as a mixture of baking soda and lard or soot and lard, applied immediately. Of the two, the preference is given to soda and lard, as it seems to draw out the fire more quickly. Rust and ink stains should be rubbed with juice of lemon and the spot then cov ered with salt and the cloth placed in the sun. A loaf of tale bread can be miade~ quite fresh by being dipped quickly in hot milk, end then baked until dry in a quick oven. All green vegetables growing above ground should be cooked in salt water. Those growing below ground in fresh water. Try doing up a bad cut in varnish, wash ing it well first. It will care a out the quickest of anything I know. In order to have plenty of eggs, fresh blood should be introduced into the flocks every year, Rubbing silver or plated spoons with a little ammonia und salt will remove dis coloration. Bone dust and wood ashes are a good fertilizer for strawberries. It is best to cover all wounds made in pruning with paint or oil. Fresh cut bones as a poultry feed .are gaining friends every day. Twenty hens will give as much yearly profit as ascow. - BUJCKLEN'S AR1ICA SALVE. The best salve in the world for cute, brnises, sores, ulcers, salt rheum, fever ores, tetter, chapped hands, chilblains, corns and all skin eruptions, and positively cures piles or no pay required. It is guar anteed to give perfect satisfaction, or mon ey refunded. Price 25c. per box. For sale by R. B. Loryea. P'hnnygraphs. The religionis dude is a good thing. Yes, you can tell dogwood by its bark. The sleek, slippery old skate doesn't cut ice. As a rule, we estimate a man by his inches, The men with the to-rent expression of face is full. It is noticed that in sitting on a tack, a man will swear off. T1he far-sighted men save money by see ing their creditors first. The punishment fits the crime when a man has nightmare in church. A man may serve two masters, providing it be a ship of that rigging. Man notices this isa hard world as the taps of his shoes wear thin. The marriageable young woman an d the thug are strivit:. to do the best they can. The man is to be pitied who doesn't know music enough to sing in self-defense. Envy is a system of leveling .down, in making light of one you think a heavy weight. How happy we would be if long-winded people would only puncture their tires? Some men are like flannel shirts, the more they indulge the more they shrink from water. Thomas & Brad ham are gcing to pu every farmer in the county in a position to buy a wagon and a bc ggy.

Friday afternoon abont 1 o'clock Mr. James Danbar walked into the lobby of the Spartan Inn, and walking up to Mr. James E. Hart, who travels for a Baltimore house, said, "1 have caught you at last, "at the samte time pulling his pistol and firing three times. The me n were within five feet of each other when the first shot was fired. The other two shots followed in rapid suc cession, while Mr. Hart retreated to the rear of the hotel as rapidly as he could. One of the balls barely grazed Hart's hand, but he escaned almost miraculously. Sev eral of Col. Brubaker's chairs and furniture now contain bullets from Dunbar's bad shooting. The particulars as to the origin of the difficulty are not known,but will brobably be brought out in court, as a warrant was sworn out for Dunbar's arrest and he was placed under $500 bond for appearance at court. It is said that Mr. Dunbar, who lives at Newberry. was stopping at Wright's hotel in Columbia with his wife. On Sunday last Mr. Hart, who was a guest at the same hotel, while under the influence of liquor, insulted Mrs. Dunbar. W.hen iLr hus band returned to the hotel B.:rt was gone and since then Dunbar has been hunting for him. Hart says he has no recollection of bav ing been guilty of any improper conduct, but if he did anything wrong he humbly apologizes and it was due entirely to the liquor.-Spartanbnrg Herald. The News in Jordan. Jordan, Feb. 23.-On last Wed nesday evening, Rev. W. A. Pitts was married to Miss Sue Davis at the residence of the bride's father. Rev. W. P. Meadors, P. E., of the Charles ton District, and an uncle of the groom, performed the ceremony. It was a very quiet wedding, only the relatives and a few friends being in vited. A splendid supper was served during the evening. Rev. and Mrs. Pitts have aheady taken possession of the parsonage, where several im provements have been made. At the last meeting of the Epworth League, the following officers were chosen for the coming year : Gist Gee, president ; W. A. Pitts, first vice president ; Miss Annie Sprott, second vice president ; C. R. Sprott, third vice president ; Miss Janet Wells, secretary ; Miss Pauline Davis, treasurer. The league is now doing a good work among the young people of the community. Jordan Academy will be chartered now in a short time and as soon as this is done an effort will be made to have this school district set aside with special privileges, as this will be better for our school, for they will receive more money with a small ad ditional tax and then the ~free school can run for nine months. Cor. New Zion Notes. New Zion, Feb. 23:-The grip has about lost its "grip" upon the people. The farmers are at a standstill on account of wet weather. I see that "Justice" has struck my plan as to the County Government law, this is my plan and has been for some time. I hope that this plan will be adopted. This is the only way that we can have good roads, and I hope that the people will take hold of this matter and make it a law. Messrs. R. H. Green, T. J. Gibbons and J. D. Gowdy caught five fish at Gibbons' mill, which tipped the scales at thirty-three pounds, the largest weighing ten and three-fourth pounds and one nine and three-fourths. Who can beat that for this season. Salem is the place to make good bright tobacco and catch large fish. A Fau:ND. THREW AWAY HIS CANES. Mr. D. Wiley, ex-postmaster, Black Creek. N. Y., was so badly affhected with rheumatism that he was only able to hob ble around with canes, and even then it caused him great pain. After using Cham berlain's Pain Balm he was so much im proved that he threw away his canes. He says this linimnent did him more good than all other medicines and treatment put to gether.
