IUKLLHES ALL COUNTY AND TOWN OFFICIAL ADVERTISEMENTS. MANNING, S. C.: WEDNESDAY, DEC. 29, 1897. 1898. To My Friends and Patrons: The year 1697 is drawing rapidly to a close and we all stand upon the threshold of a new year, with all its possibilities stretched out before us, and we all .hould remember that the successes or the misfort unes of the year will largely be in accord with our own efforts; every individual must be the architect of their own fortune. Last January we all started out buoyant jy, with bright hopes and bright prospects bfore us, but the end is not as we had hoped for in the start. Disappointment has crossed many of our paths, but who can tell but an allwise Providence but what all these misfortunes have been for our good. Now let ns all put the year 1S97 behind un and think of the trials and disappoint ments of that year no more. Let us all look cheerfully to the year 1898 with bright hopes and endeavor to make the most of it that our chances and our opportunities will permit. Let us keep our banner ever stretched to the breeze, and whatever our bands find to do, do it with all our might and will. Hold the plow, the axe and the hoe with a firmer grasp than ever before, and never look back in an unfinished fur row. If we will only do our duties as we find them and direct our efforts in the right way all will be well. It matters not how dark some of the days may seem, we should remember that "Some days must be dark and dreary," and at the same time re member that "Behind the clouds the sun is still shining." And now kind friends and patrons, in conclusion I desire to extend my hearty thanks to you for the liberal support you have given me the past year, notwithstand ing the fact that the past year has been dis appointing in many respects, yet I can say ;rutLfally that I have enjoyed the largest trade the past year I have ever done since in business on my own account, and it is impossib;e for we to find fitting words to give expression to my gratitude and my thanks for the confidence reposed in me by my friends. It has been my object in the past and it shall be in the future to carry first class goods in all lines, but at the same time I will be found to carry some shoddy stuff to meet some competitors I have to deal with, but it shall be my aim, and I shall impress it upon those in nay employ, to keep noth ing back as to the quality and merit of the goods being shown, it matters not whether it gains or loses me a customer. We are all in business to earn a living for ourselves and our families, but there is a purpose which should prompt every man in busi ness which is far nobler than the raking 1 together of dollars and cents in an unscrn pulous way, and that is to merit the conn dence of those you have to deal with. How I long for the confidence and esteem of those I am daily thrown in contact with. Money isa power and has its weight in all communities, but s good name is better to be chosen than great riches. Again thanking you all for the confidence and the patronage bestowed upon me in the past ) ear, and wishing you all a pros perous New Year, I remain Yours truly, W. E. JENKINSON.

Christmas was a quiet day- in Manning, but for the exception of a few hilarious coons who seemed to think that they could not be funny without being full of "fust X." The place was like Sunday.

The public meeting elsewhere published should be attended by every farmer in tho county, and not alone the farmers, but every merchant should be there also. The object of this meeting is to devise some plan to better the condition of those who depend upon making their living from the earth. It must be very evident to all that some concerted action is necessary to in sure subsistence. Farmers and merchants, all attend the meeting next Monday, and in the multitude of wisdom there may be some benefit derived. Thin meeting has no po litical significance whatever; it is purely and solely a meeting of citizens to endeavor to shake off the cancer that is eating out their financial vitals. Politicians say the ause of our present condition may be laid at the door cf federal legisla tion. Capitalists say that overproduction is the cause, and others say that it is the extravagant mode of living tLat has placed the producer upon his knees begging for he crumbs which fall from the rich man's able. Let every man who has an interest ir, his cor.ntrv's welfare come to the public meeting, and there let us all deal candidly ith each other. Let us speal: out and ake such action as befits a patriotic and nsiness people. We are glad to learn that the warning given by Tax TIMES to those merchants .bat bought seed cotton withont a license he past season has had the effect of caus Dg some of them to go to the Clerk of Jourt and pay up. There are others that save not paid as yet, and we know whereof e speak, if they wait until court convenes hey will be prosecuted. The l:w must be espected and merchants who vio?.ete the aw, set themselves in defiance of that vhich makes up a good citizenship, and be law must handle them. Tae member >f the grand jury who is de:ermined to >rosecute every man in the county that >ought seed cotton without a license is a man hat is opposed to the license law, but as ong as the law remains upon the Statrtc >ooks he proposes to respect it, ant in an &iral capacity he has taken an oats to enforce it, which he will d.) regardless of rhom it affects. This uan has the names I those wno violated the law, together with eliable witnesses to make out the cases, erd we again warn and advise every man ho has disregarded the seed cotton law o settle up at once and avoid trouble. Some may say, '"Ob, I will not be convicted f I amf indicted," but it is not safe to bank >n such an idea; and, besides, if a man is I )rosecuted it will cost him the amount of ho license to employ a lawyer to defend iim. Then, again, no self-respecting mer rhant wants to be dragged into court :harged with being guilty of trying to beat is county out of a few dollars. We do not elieve there are many who have violated he law wantonly, as we are disposed to hink it more of an oversight. FREE PILLS. Send your address to H. E. Bucklen & o., Chicago, and get a free sample box of )r. King's New Life Pills. A trial will :onvince you of their merits. These pills .re easy in action, and are particularly ef ective in the cure of constipation and sick ueadaehe. For malaria and liver troubles hey have been proved invaluable. They ure guaranteed to be perfectly free from ~very deleterious substance and to be pure y vegetable.

Mr. Jlames Jones, of the dirug~ 11au of *Jones & Son, Cowdeu, Ill., in spinUg of Dr. King's New Discovery, says that last winter his wife was attacked with La Gr:ppe, and her case grew so serious that phyacians at Cowden and Pana cou!ld do othing for her.

Dec. 25. - There have been no new dvelopnients in the $10.000 express robbery. The money is still missing, and that is about all that can be gotten out of the matter. The express officials, who are working on the case, have nothing to say, except that they will make public whatever happens of a public nature. The men in the office are going right along with their work as if nothing had happened. It is said that several of the best detectives are here looking after matters in connection with the missing package. Arrests have been talked of. but nothing has yet been done in that direction. The officials announce that the money has been made good to the National Park b::nk of New York. It is also officialy annou:ed that the robbery was committed by one of seven men connected with, or in the office on the night of the robbery. SOCIETY CIRCLES STIRRED. Cadet Carries an Actress to a Swell hall and Is lounct by (apaerono CHARLESTON. Dec. 27.-A ball was given here by the cadets of the South Carolina Military academy, to which the society swells were invited. Hoyt's "A Stranger In New York" was on the boards at the theater and after the per formance Naval Cadet Peterson of the United States training ship Chase called at the theater and escorted Miss Char lotte Crane, the leading lady of the play, to the ball, Peterson having pre viously been invited. When they arrived in the dance hall some of the 400 proceeded to raise a furore and demanded of the chaperones that Miss Crane be sent away. Accord ing to the story told by eyewitnesses, a chaperone requested Captain Hamlet of the Chase to order Peterson to take the actress away. There was nothing for the cadet to do but obey. Miss Crane. whose real name is Miss Bose of Springfield, Ills., was very much mortified at the inci dent. She had done nothing to call forth such treatment and the gentlemen who were present are very indignant. The affair has created a sensation in society circles and the action of the chaperones is publicly condemned. Negro Shoots a Restnurateur. OHARLESTON, Dec. 27.-Morris A. Lo renzi, a well known restaurant keeper of this city, was accidentally shot and in stantly killed by an unknown negro. Lorenzi was in his establishment. when a negro came in and began talking to him. They were discussing duck shoot ing. The negro had a rifle in his hands. He raised it, saying: "This is the way to kill ducks." The rifl went off, the ball crashing clear through the Italian' head. In the confusion that followed the negro ran off and has not been heard of since. BUCKLEN'S ARNICA SALVE.

Friday, Jan'uary 28th, 1898. Taxpayers return what they own >n the first day of JTanuary, 1898. All personal property and real es tate must be returned this year. Assessors and taxpayers will enter the first given name of the taxpayer in full, also make a separate return for each party for the township the property is in, and where the tax payers .owns realty, to insert the postoflice as their place of residence, and those who only own personal property, to give the party's name who owns the land they live on as their residenee, which aids the tax payer as well as the county treasurer in making the collections and pre venting errors. Every- male citizen between the 'ages of twedty-one and sixty years on the first day of January, 1898, ex ept those incap~able ot earning a support from being maimed. or from other oauses, shall be deemed tax able polls. This does not apply to Confederate soldiers over fifty years Aof te returns that are made after the twentieth day of February will have a penalty of 50 per cent. added thereto, unless nut of the county du ring the time of listing. Not know ing the time of listing is no excuse. The assessing and collecting of taxes is all done now in the same year, and wve have to aggregate the number and value of all the horses, cattle, mules, etc., and their value that there is in the county, and have same on file in the Comptroller Gen eral's office by thle thirtieth day of June each year. And from that te .ito the first day of October each ye.: the auditor's and treasurer's duplicate has to be completed and an abstract of tne work in the Comp troller's office by that time, which will show at a glance that the audi Itor has no time to take in returns or do anything else much, between the first day of March and the first day of October each year but work onthe books and blanks. Therefore I hope that all taxpayers will do me the favor of making their returns in time, J. ELBERT DAVIS, READY FOR CHRISTMAS, '97 A Great Storeful of Holi day Goods Now Ready for Inspection.
