Sunday being the appointed day for the fourth quarterly Conference of the Metho dist church here, the Rev. T. J. Clyde, Presiding Elder of the Sumter District, will preach in tbe Institute both morning and night. Miss Fannie Haynsworth, of the Brew ngton section, was in Manning last Thurs day shopping, and while looking at goods in McLeod's store, a sneak thief managed to steal her purse containing about $34. Miss aysworth had laid the purse down on the counter but a moment, while her atten tion was directed elsewhere. Who ever the coundrel was, is certainly no novice at the business. In the retirement of Mr. Jacob W. Mc Leod from the general merchandise busi ness of this town Manning loses from her commercial circle a man whose business was in the zenith of its glory, with every promise of a continued profitable patron age, and who by his attention to business largely aided in giving Manning a rating which places her among the best towns it hoath Carolina. One of the main reasons for this retirement was failing health, due principally to close confinement and over work. Mr. McLeod will not leave us, but will open an office in the rear of Harvin d Barrn's store, where he will devote his at. tention to his cotton and other business. A few days ago Manning was the field of operations for a slick swindler. who came to the post office, calied for a letter addressed "Chicago Portrait Comnpany. The letter was delivered to him and from it he took a bill of lading, went to the .le pot and secured a lot of pictures which the Chicago Portrait Company haa enlarged for the people of this town. The scamp hired a carriage, delivered the pictures collectec the charges and left for parts unknown. Nobody dreamed of anything wrozng about the transaction until last night when the postmaster received a letter from a .ir. J. Jewell, of Columbia, who has the manage met of Company's affairs in this State. This letter told the whole story of how the Company had been duped by a smnooth scamp. SOMETHING TO KNO W. It may be worth something to know that the very best medicine for restoring the tiied out nervous system to a healtny vigo: is Electric Bitters. The medicine is purely vegetable, acts by giving tone to the nerve centres in the stomach, gently stimulate the liver and kidneys, and aids these or gans in throwing off impurities in th blood. Electric Bitters improves the ap petite, aids digestion. anid is prenonncee by those who have tried it as the very bes blood purifier and nerve tonic. Try it Sold for 50c. or $1.00 per bottle at Bt. B Fire. This town was again visited by fire and where it was least expected did the demon put in his work of destruction. Last Thursday morning btwee:: th hours of 5 and 6 o'clock 1'olicdman llug gins discovered flames eating th-ir way oat of the western upper story w:ndow ol iur yin & Barron's store. Immediately he sounded the alarm and before an entrance to the building could be etieted the fire had gained such headway that it was aa gerous to life to attempt the work of saving the goods. Mr. Archie lB.rron, the jan:or member of the farm, attempted to reach money till where the night before Le had left about two hundred dollars in cash, bat he was driven back by the Intense heat and I smoke. A second attempt would have ic-n made, but the falling in of the upper dor near the place he was seeking to get pre vented him, and very fortunately, too, be cause had he reached his money drawer the probability is that he would have been caught by the falling timbers and killed. Very little goods were saved-not as much as twenty-five dollars wirth. Policeman Huggins says that some time during the night or early morning he heard a noise like the breaking of glass and he made a careful hunt in the store lots and about the fronts to ascertain the cause. His search was fruitless and he came to the e.n elusion that a piece of glassware had failen from a shelf. He secreted himself among some bales of cotton in McLeod's lot and watched for over an hour. At the same time Rush Ingram was on the lookout in front. Hearing nothing more and seeing no signs of any one moving about, he caine out of hi, hiding place and took a seat on the door sill of Harvin & Barron's store, when al: at once he heard a cracking noise, and look ing up. discovered the fire The building and contents were entirely consumefand the store occupied by .\r. L. W. Kendall was very badly damaged. The adjoining wall will have to be taken down and rebuilt. At one time the whole block was in great danger of destruction and what kept the fire from spreading, is due entirely to a merciful Providence and the herculean efforts of Mr. John Meier. Mr. J. H. Le sesne's stocti was somewhat siaagei from the handling in moving oat and in; 'o wcre the stocks of Messrs. Kendal, R:ff i Krasnoff. The property burned belonged to B. A. Waiker and was insured tor $1,550. which w:ll net cover tue loss. Harvin Barron's insurance on stock was $S,5U0 and they had on hand over $13,000 worth of goods, some of which had only arrived in the store the day before the fire and was opened up for their -special sale" which would have taken place had not the fire prevented it. Everybody felt sad when they saw this property being consumed, because the firm of Haryin & Barron had brought about a condition in this town which quickened the mercantile pulse and put ali of our iner chants on their mettle to not be outstripped in tae competition for public favor and pat ronage. The blow at first was so severe that it al most made the members of this firm heart sick, but with that determined spirit exuib ited so far in their short career, they ralled and before the smoke d:ed away from the burning embers they began negotiating for the mercantile business of Ur J. W. Mc Leod. The negotiations resulted in a deal, and they bought out Mr. .tcLeod where, in the future, they will be found catering to the publc for confidence and trade, and they teel that the misfortune which came upon them will have the effect of making them redouble their efforts to draw to tie town of Manning a still larger portion of the al ready Lcreased trade due to thrift, energy and up-to-date methods. Court. The Court of Common Pleas continued until last Saturday afternoon. The cases tried during the week were as follows: Moses Levi, plaintiff, against John J. Gardner. William P. Gardner, Elizabeth Gardner, Isaac Bennett and Paul Dickson. defendants, for recovery of land; verdict for the defendants. S. W. Gowdy, plaintiff, against Mrs. El len Gowdy and otheis, defendants. This case was started and after hearing some of the witnesses, by consent, the case was withdrawn to come up at the next term of court. A. A. Tindil, plaintiff, against Gus Dixon, defendant, resulted in a verdict for the plaintiff. In this ease WV. C. Duaant, E-q., made his maiden speech and it was an ef fort worthy of an older member of the bar. M.r. Du~ant made a capital argument and his review of the testimony shows him to be a'young man with a fine future in his pro fession before him. 'The last case tried was Louis Appelt, plaintiff, against John Thames, defendant, for the recoovery of that store and lot situ ated alongside of the bank, and resulted in a verdict for the plaintiff. The raembers of the Bar took out a num ber of deczetal orders and the court ad journed sine die. A Deserved Credit. A few months ago when fire destroyed the valuable property of Messrs. Thomas & Bradham, the fire was prevented, in a large measure, from extending to other property near by, by the heroic efforts of Mr. John Meier and some of his employees. Fire has again caused a loss of property in our midst and again Mr. Meier and his men were on hand and did good service, which efforts probably helped to save ad joining property. 1 think it only fair that the community take proper notice of their efforts to save property belonging to others and thus show honor to whom honor is due. AN OnsEnvER. A Good Citizen Gone. "In the midst of life we are in death." Died at his home, near Summerton, yes terday morning at 5 o'clock, Mr. William W. Coskrey. The deceased had the day be fore passed the forty-first milestone in tuis life and behind him he leaves a most ex emplary career. Clarendon County has lost in his death a substantial citizen, modest and retiring in manner, but a man of ster ling worth. isa death has cast a gloom in his family connection and also among his host of friends. He leaves a widow and six children. Manning Acadenty.

There is more catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put to gether, and until the last few years was say posed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronon)uneed it a kccal disea-, and prescribed local remedies, and by eon stantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable.

Ala., O:t. 80. - Ella Barnes and Dessie Thomas, two 10-year old cotton factory operatives, met at a friend's house at a social and quarreled over their mutual regard for the same youth. The Thomas girl advanced on the Barnes girl with a nair of scissors. Miss Barnes threw a lighted lamp at her adversary. The lamp exploded and the burning oil enveloped Miss Thomas. The gathering fled in horror. The Barnes girl walked out quietly. closed the door on her antagonist and laughed as her agonizing cries pierced the air. Miss Thomas was burned to a crisp before succor came. Her murderess is in hiding. Alleged Murderers acquitted. ASHEVILLE, N. C., Nov. 1.-The cir cuit court jury, in the case of George Hall and Abe Davidson, negroes, charged with the murder of Harry Slagle, returned a verdict of acquittal, after being out 8 minutes.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-Consul Tin gle, at Brunswick, Germany, says that the importation of American products in that district is insignificant in amount, due more to the lack of enter prise on the part of American manu facturers than to any indisposition of the people to buy foreign made goods. An rnteresting' vase Argued. RALEIGH, Nov. 1.-A case at once interesting and important was argued before Associate Justice Montgomery of the supreme court, under habeas corpus proceedings. It was that of Miss Sallie Ferguson of Henderson, who was arrested for selling pianos, as the repre sentative of a Norfol1k firm, without lcense. Justice Montgomery discharged Miss Ferguson, saying that this provis Ion of the revenue act was void and un constitutional, so far as it applies to persons outside of the state who sell by sample, catalogues, etc., in that it is violative of the interstate commerce act.
