There is a large well at the depot which

after reaching a depth of 573 feet, he struck

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

We think it would be a goo1 idea if the
merchants of this town who do not adver

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.

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.

convince you of their merits. These pills
are easy in action, and are particularly ef

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.

under the late Act of the Legislature. It
will be necessary to have ex-soldiers present
from each of the eighteen townships in the

made t) all the Suirvivors,or as many a; pos

Monday, 5th day of April.

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.

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.

it lived a short time after it came into the

at the same time, four of whichi are still

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

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

reached its columbary. Three other bees
arrived before the second pigeon, and

"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

rither end. The drums were suspended

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

; 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

tach composed of five small, round,
ried wild fruits with noisy, rattling
eeds. These were threaded en brochette

ield in each hand and kept time with
