Loryea, the druggist. Mr. J. D. McDowell is now a medical doc tor, having graduated at the Bellevue hos pital college, of New York, last week. The town and county received last Mon day *50.12 each as their share of the dis pensary profits for quarter ending Decem ber 31st 1896. The County Supervisor has now a full supply of blanks for the Magistrates, which no doubt will be most welcome news to those oscers. Chocolate for cooking purposes 1-4 lbs 10c. R. B. Loryea, the druggist. Miss Eitelle Connor. of Charleston,whose visit has been enjoyed by her friends in Manning, left last Monday night to spend a few days with friends at Greeleyville. One of the best artesian wells in the county-is located on the place of Mr. G. T. Worsham, of Seloc. The stream flows at the rate of about 30 gallons per minute. Watch for prize numbers in next issue at Bekinton's. Only 25 more chances. There is a large well at the depot which ought to be filled with dirt. We under stand that the railroad company have said they would not fill it, but the council should require it done before warm weath er sets in. Weare informed that Mr. LeGrand Ged dings, while driving across Tindal's mill bidge one day last week, had the misfor tune to drire-off of the bridge and get his aules crippled. The bridge is in good coodition and there can be no blame at tached to-the county. Wood'stesdd arden seed for sale only by R. B. Loryea, the druggist. A citizens of 8eidy Grove, by the name of Bush McKenizie,bas been quite sick for some time. A fewdays ago his physician cut into him and drew eabout a quart of pus and later another incisi on was made anifabout a gallon was taken from him. Tfhe last accounts say that he is improving. 'The people of Salem deserve great credit for the interest they show in education. lIn the Douglass district an extra two mill tax has been levi. for :sonme time and the amount raised being insufficient,a vote was taken last Saturday for another special tax. The election resulted in favor of the special tax by a vote of 16 to 2. They now will pay four extra mills. Try International Stock Food, the best Swdae for horses anid catle. For sale by B. Loryea, the druggist. Mr. R. F. Turner, of Davis X Roads, has ~st finished boring a well on his place. boring he passed through 43 rocks and after reaching a depth of 573 feet, he struck a stream of elegant water. Mr. Turner did the work himself and with his usual persistency did not let the many obstacles prevent him from carrying out his purpose of getting good water. Fertilizer Inspector Croswell has seized at Bennettsville eighty tons of cotton seed meal shipped to a merchant in that town, which did not have the required tags on it showing that the privilege tax of 25 cents per ton had been paid. The strange part of it is-that the meal is said to have come from New York, while there are oil mills all over the State which could have furn ished it. Only 25 more tickets to be given away at Brockinton's before the lucky numbers will be published. We think it would be a goo1 idea if the merchants of this town who do not adver tise will take up the newspapers pulblished elsewhere; they will see that Manning drags away behind in the advertising line and that this paper is far superior to many published in larger towns. Nearly every newspaper in the State has its columns well e~lled with attractive spring advertisements - and a pushing spirit is exhibit which is bind to have its effect on business. Mr. S. R. Tobias, of St. Marks Township, ealled on us yesterday morning and in. formed us that his daughter, Miss Eliza A. Tobias, had just left on the train with Elder Job H. Whitney, for Salt Lake City, where they go to be married in the Temple of the Mormian church. Eider Whitney has been working on Santee for several mnonths.He represents the "church of Jesus of Tarday Saintswand it is the custom of that se~ct to marry in the Temple. After ?hemnarriage the couple will make their homeinselorado, where the Elder will entinue his rehigious work. What agbe people of Msanning going to do aboa&% graded school? A newspa per can do nething but make suggebtions; It takes the people to say whether they want to get out of the old beaten ruts. A graded school would be of great advantage to this town and if the ppe do not trake m~ninterest in thepa .er we wont have at.We know there are some who op gethe scheme, but it matters not what wznema' some will give it opposition; all of u48 not think alike. In our opinion, a magutity of the free-holders of this town. ship would favor a graded school and there should be some way of putting the question to a teat. Who will take the mat ter in hand? For fresh, delicious fancy candies, go to B. B. Loryea, the druggist. The Anderson Journal says: "Young girls can't be too particular as to how they deport themselves on the streets and in public places. However -innocent, they may suffer lasting detriment by some thoughtless act that others may wrongly and possibly strongly, misconstrue." We are thankful that the young girls of this town do not need any such admonish. ion from us. Our girls are trained to com mand respect and they live up to that train ing. We have lived in this town the best part of our life and proudly say tnat the atmosphere has been clearer of scandal than any town of its size we ever heard of, Not only are the young ladies pure, but their influence has had its effect on our young men. Manning is without doubt, Owing to the force in our office bein suddenly cut short this week, 1.we have no been abie to give our readers as much edi torial matter as we would like. There ar several subjects we would like to discuss and we hope soon to be &able to do so. Under the law the board of health mius have made to them at least once a month the births and mortality of this town. Th board met yesterday afternoon to take step towards seeing that the law is complic with. THE TRUE REMEDY. W. 31. Repine, editor Tiskilwa, Ill. "Chief," says: "We won't keep house with out Dr. King's Kew Discovery for Con r sumption. Coughs and Colds. Experi mented with many others, but never go the true remedy until we used Dr. King' New Discovery. No other remedy cat take its place in our home, as in it we hav a certain and sure cure for Coughs, Colds, Whooping Cough, etc." It is idle to ex periment with other remedies, even i: they are urged on you as just as good a SPr.King's New Discovery. They are noi as good, because this remedy has a record of cu:es and besides is guaranteed. Ii never fails to satisfy. Trial bottles free at R. B. Loryea's Drug Store. It will be remembered that Mr. M. A. Harmon, of Lexington, was recently con victed of manslaughter. The defense set up on the trial, was that he shot and killed young Caughman for seducing his sister. A strong Pptition was sent to the Governor, asking 'or the yonng man's pardon. in which r. number of the jury joined. Gov ernor 2!lerbe gr.anted the pardon and vour.e Harinon is now free. In granting this pardon the Governor has done right and tbe.ant should strike terror into the hearts of men, who will invade a home and destroy its sacre.iness. FREE PILLS. Send your address to H. E. Bucklen d Co., Chicago. and get a free sample box of Dr. King's New Life Pills. A trial will convince you of their merits. These pills are easy in action, and are particularly ef fective in the cure of constipation and sick headache. For malaria and liver troubles they have been proved invaluable. They are guaranteed to be perfectly free from every deleterious snbstance and to be pure. ly vegetable. They do not weaken by their action, but by giving tone to stomach and bowels greatly invigorate the system. Reg ular size 25c. per box. Sold by R. B. Lor yae, druggist. The Survivors of the late war between the States are requested to meet in the Court House, at Manning on Monday 5th day of April, 1897, for the purpose of reor ganizing Confederate 'anps and to assist those of our number and widows of de ceased soldiers in secuiing pensions under the late Act of the Legislature. It will be necessary to have ex-soldiers present from each of the eighteen townships in the county, that they may be instructed in forming the Townsnip Pension Bor-rds as required by law. An earnest appeal is made t) all the Suirvivors,or as many a; pos sibly can, to be present at 12 o'clock, on Monday, 5th day of April. C. S. L~AR. A POINT TO REMEMBER. If you wish to purify your blood you 'should take a medicine which cures blood diseases. The record of cures by Hood's Sarsaparilla proves tiat this is the best medicine for the blood ever produced. Hood's Sarsaparilla cures the most stub born cases and it is the medicine for you to take your blood ts impure. Hood's Pills are the best after dinner pill; assist digestion, cure headache. 25c. For Rent-Two dwelling houses; one at $15, the other $6. Also rooms turnished or unfurnished, with or without board. Ap. ply to Mrs. E. C. AM~snnooL. Attention Guards. Headquarters Manning Guards,) Manning, S.

Under special orders, No. 8., of the Com manding-Chief, the annual inspection of the Manning Guards will be held on April 30th.

By order of W. C. Divis, W. W. Jom~soN, Captain. 1st Sergeant. Not one unmarried woman in a hundred tells the truth when she is asked why she never married. People buy Hood's Sarsaparilla year after year because it does them good. It will do you good to take it now. FROM CRIPPLE CREEK. After the big fire in Cripple Creek, took a very severe cold and tried many remedies without help, the cold only be coming more settled. After using three small bottles of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, both the cough and cold left me, and in this high altitude it takes a meri torious cough remedy to do any good.-G. B. Henderson, editor Daily Advertiser. For sale by R. B. Lorye-a, the druggist. E. vo RI Wais For 1896. E~rnMANNING TntEs.-In the local column of your issue of the 17th inst., I noti<-e the following statement: "The net profit of our local Dispensary since its establishment is $2,118.5-4." This is an error, the above amount is the net profit for the year 1896. The Manning Dispen sary was opened the 24th day of July, 1893. During the months May, June and July, in the year 1894. the Dispensary was closed under an adverse decision of the State Sn preme Court. The following statement will show the net profit for each year: Net profit for five months in year 1893, $1,163.12. Net profit for nine months in year 1894, $1,3'21.92. Net profit for the year 1895, $1,117.35. Net protit for the year 1896, $2,118.54. Total net profit siuce establishment to December 31st, 1896, $5,720.93. It will be noticed that the net profit for the year 1895 as compared with parts of year 1893-94 and the year 1896, is small. In this year, the percentage was largely - duced in an attempt to discourage illheit dealers, which proved very effectual. E. S. Envis, County Dispenser. Manning, S. C., March 18, 1897. BUCKLEN'S ARtNICA SALVE.

He who will not reason is a bigot ; he who cannot is a fool ; aud he who dares not is a slave. A sound discretion is not so much in di. cated by never making a mistake, as by never repeating it. RIHEUMATISXI QUICKLY CURED. After having been confined to the house for eleven days and paying out $25 in doc tor bills without benefit, Mr. Frank Dolson, of Sault Ste Marie, Mich., was cured by one bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm, costing 25 cents, and has nc t since been troubled with that complaint.

Lexington county haq produced her pet rified man. Edgefield her man with a tail, and now comes Clarendon to join the pro cession with a curio in the shape of a pig. Mr. Patton McLeo3, a yo-ing farmer living a couple of miles froum town, brought in yesterday a pig which first saw the light yesterday morning on his plantation. The pig has one head with four ears, two tongues, two bodies and eight legs and it lived a short time after it came into the world. There were five other pigs born at the same time, four of whichi are still living. The curio created considerable interest while it was on exhibition at Dr. Lorvea's drug store. Mr. McLeod turned it over to Di-. C. B. Geiger; who has placed the singular freak in -alcohol to preserve.

Paraffin is oue of the most valuable products of petroleum, and its manufac turc has been brought to such perfection that it is scarcely possible to improve upon it. By the most approved processes the wax is redistilled for the purpose 'of reducing to the desired gravity and crystallizing the wax. Then the oil is frozen by processes similar to those em ployed for producing artificial ice. The apparatus for this work is of the most complete and scientific construction. Enormously powerful pumps force the frozen oil into filter presses and convert the wax into a solid cake. The uses of paraffin are manifold, and every detail of its manufacture is of the greatest in terest to all scientists.-New York Ledger. The Way of Orators. "I wonder why orators always have te drink so much water?" asked the in nocent looking boarder. "On account of their burning lan guage," said Asbury Peppers promptly. "But the fellow I was thinking of," said the innocent looking boarder, "was dealing solely in figures." Then the innocent one looked tri umphant until Mr. Peppers came back with the statement that they must have been dry statistics.-Cincinnati En guirer. _________ Bees Against Carrier Pigeons. An agriculturist of Westphalia made a bet that 12 bees, released at a distance of three miles from the hives at the same time as 12 pigeons, would travel over the ground as quickly as the birds. The first bee entered the hive one quar ter of a minute before the first pigeon reached its columbary. Three other bees arrived before the second pigeon, and the remainder of the competitors reach .. ^..ne simnultaneously. Like a Boy. The son of a down town merchant was found crying when his father re turned home last night, as that gentle man told a reporter this mnorning. "What's the matter, Tommy?" asked the merchant. "I had a light with Charlie," was the tearful reply. "Well, you ought not to fight. It served you right to get whipped, I guess, " said the father. "But I didn't get licked. I licked him, " sobbed the boy. "Well, what are you crying about then?" "Why, if I had let him lick me, he couldn't hurt. And I never thought about that, so now I have to fight his big brother, about my size, and I can lick him, and I'm going to, because I'm mad at him. Then I've got to fight the biggest brother, and hie's three sizes big ger than me, and won't I catch it!" And Tommy refused to be comforted. Washington Star. They Were All Losers. "Oh, I wonder whose pocketbook this is?" said a man, stooping down and picking a wallet out of the gutter. Immediately a crowd gathered. "Who lost a pocketbook?" he asked. "About 10 out of a crowd of 20 im mediately spoke up and said that they had been so unfortunate. "Then what kirid of one is it?" asked thie finder of the man nearest him. A detailed description followed, and still another and another, but the real owner did not materialize. "It's a funny thing," finally said the man who had found the pocketbook, "that there should be so many people here together who had lost pocketbooks.'" -Louisville CommerciaL.

The dancers seen at .Kambuidi's were Bisa and Luangeni. There were four Irumnmers and one old man with rattles, ~vho gave a very picturesque perform mnee. The drummers had small, barrel ;haped drums, with tightened skin at rither end. The drums were suspended :y rope from the left shoulder. The lummers played to any crude, untrained longs in splendid time, and while play .ng and singing danced about most 7racefully, some steps resembling close y the waltz. All wore long loin cloths >f bark, reaching from the waist almost ; the ground. They were wonderfully ictive, dancing and singing vigorously, rhirling round on one leg and spurring :he ground with the other foot. They ;ang, drummed and danced in perfect -me.
