The State campaign speakers will be in

very lively speeches. Let everybody come.
The Cuban question and political issues
sink into insignificance with the man who
suffers from piles. What he most desires,
is relief. De\Vitt's Witch Hazel Salve
cures piles. It. B. Loryea, Manning : L.

It is about time another box was being

may not be long before we will not have an

something; so let us do something while
we have the chance.
The human machine starts but once and

We received a copy of the Waycross (G.%)
Journal, which contains a biographical
sketch of Mr. Harvey W. Mitchum, a son
of our esteemed fellow-citizen Mr. J. J.
Mitehuin of Jordan. This paper speas
very highly of the young Carolinian and
rates hia among the best of educators. We
read the account of our young friend with
pride and it is always a pleasure to hear of
our boys doing well abroad,
Chill cures injure the stomach because
of the peruvian bark extrracts found in

The people of this county will be delight
ed to learn that it has been officially de
clared that smallpox no longer exikts in
Columbia or Sumter, where the pestilence
has had many victims. They will also be
delighted to learn that Mr. W. H. Trescott,
who has been a victim of the dreaded and
loathsome monster, is getting well and will
be at his work as soon as his strength is re
gained.
Mr. P. Kethcham of Pike City, Cal., says:
"During my brother's late sickness from
sciatic rheumatism, Chamberlain's Pain
Balm was the only remedy that gave him
any relief." Many others have testifed to
the prompt relief frcm pain which this
liniment affords. For sale by R. B. Loryea,

On our desk is a cotton blossom taken
from the fertile fields of Mr. W. P. Eman
uel at Trinity. Mr. Emanuel is a typic il
Iarlboro fariner, and his plantation shows
intelligent management. Marlboro has,
through such farmers as Mr. Emanuel, won
a great reputation,and what was done there
can be and is being done in Clarendon.
Our lands cannot be surpassed in the State.
Mr. Emanuel not only has sent us the first
broom, but we expect, from reports, to see
the first bale ot cotton.
S. C. P. Jones, Milesburg, Pa., writes: "I
have used DeWitt's Little Early Risers ever

The town of Greeleyville was thrown into
excitement by the attempt of a negro
named Grant Keels to commit an assault
on Mrs. Gest, a white woman about 80
years of age. T1he fiendish attempt was
made about two miles from Greeleyville
and wats frustrated by the cries of the old
ady, r.in to her rescue her daughter
and Mr.Bradshaw. The negro had
thrown his victim down, but hearing others
approaching, ran off and made good his
escape. It will not do for the scoundrel to
be seen anywhere in that section again.
I was seriously afflicted with a cough for
several years, and last fall had a more se
veere cough than ever before. I have used
many remedies without receiving much re
lief, and being recommended to try a bot
tle of Chamberlatn's Cough Remedy, by a
friend, who, knowing me to be a poor wid
ow, gave it to me, I tried it, and with the
most gratifying results. The first bottle
releived me very much and the second bot
tle has absolutely cured me. 3 have not
had as good health for twenty years. Res

When the Confederate Veterans met in
Charleston recently, among those who par
tcptdin the festivities were five Brad
hami brothers of this county. They had
their photographs taken in a group and on
their return home Captain D. J. Bradham
turned one of the photos over to Artist
IGoldberg, who transformed them from min
iature to life size. The picture now adorns
the wvalls of the sheriff's office and it is as
ine a piece of work as we nave ever seen.
Artist Goldberg certainly excelled himself
with the Bradham brothers and we know
this excellent specimen of his work will in
duce others to have the pictures of their
loved ones enlarged.
Bad management keeps more people in
poor circumstances than any other one
cause. To be successful one must look
ahead and plan ahead so that when a favor
able opportunity presents itself he is ready
to take advantage of it. A little forethought
will also save much expense and valuable
time, A prudent and careful man will keep
a bottle Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy in the house, the shift
less fellow will wait until necessity compels
it and then ruin his best horse going for a
doctor and have a big doctor bill to pay,
besides' one pays out 25 cents, the other is
out a hundred dollars and then wonders
why his neighbor is getting richer while
he is getting poorer For sale by iR. B.

Some time about the middle of last
month two negroes, Ashby Taylor and Bill
MElveen, became involved in a diiliculty
near Davis Station, when McElveen struck
Taylor a blow on the head with a cant
hook handle, and from the effects of that
boTaordied the 31st day of May. Mc
Elven kipedout when he struck his an
taonist and was not heard from until last
ookth morning, when Deputy Gamble
toktefirst train and caught McElveen
at ;reeleville. He brought his prisoner
to Manning and lodged him in jail yester
day. McEiveen claims he struck his man
in self defense, and from what we can learn
of the ease we do rict think he will have
much trouble in proving his case.

Editor THE TIMEs:
The battalion is still at Shandon and
ikely to remain here for some time. This'
time last week we were certain that the
>oys would have the honor of dining with
the President ere this. The major is still
in hopes that we will be a-signed to Gen.
Butr's command: the men, too, are very
anxious to be under him. Just as soon as
the battalion is complete we will get orders
and not before. There are niow 5'7 recruits
that have passed the examination and 65
more ready to be exatmined. This comn
pany will be mustered in witha the required
nmber, 1006. There is no teiling who will
be the commissioned officers. You may
talk about politicians, bat those seeking
these positions beat them ten to one.
We were all glad to see .\rs. W. C. Davis
and \Irs. J. E. Kelly; their husbands being
so conident that they wo-da lave here
last week, telegraphed for theuan The calp
tan's wife is the most patriotic lady your

menced. Itf she could induce others to
join us we would appreciate it very much.
ur company will ho ieeruited to 100 and
>f course we would much prefer the boys
from home.
When the battalion leaves, a comits
sioned officer and one enlisted matn from
ach company will be left to recruit the
mpanies. Adjutant Go inzales hias been
ppinted already and the others wvill be
appointed later on.
What we wvant now is rain; the dust is
terrible and nearly every man has a cold.
The farmers in these parts are very blue.
Our water suipply is scarce: the water fort
ooking purposes is hauled here from ua
The city is very anxious for the govern
ment to make Colombia a place of rendez
vous for about 30t,000U troops. How can she
expect to get it, when our first regiment
and battalion could and cannot get from
them a place with sufficient wvater for drink
ing and bathing purposes and a place large
enough to drill on? The battalion would
ot be so anxious to leave if the merchants
would take enough interest in them by
furnishing the prop~er imptlemenotts for
a drill ground and a pool to bathe iti. It
is to their interest to keep ua here as n
as posible. None of them will deuy tht
their sales have increased. Then whyi not
keep us here and furnish those things
which are so much needed?

(len. "the breakage sqould never be

-Now, let us compare the ManIuing
dispensary with the above for the
same month, A pril.19:
Mllnning dispenisary. purchases,
:.10, breakae, .:about 7-10
per ceIt.
The following statements cover the
years 1597-!8, to June 1st, inst:
Purchases. 1897. Br k'ge.
First Quarter... 4 *.485 03 15.42
Second Quarter.. 41,161 10 17.75
Third Quarter ... :,;;8 65 22.45
Fourth Quarter.. 5.si02 !11 :'0.05
Total........... 1 72 72 12:.57
Breakage, nearly 7-10 per cent.
Purchases. 11,. Br'k'ge.
First Quarter.... :8,621 61 21.75
a y ............. 9:5; W .:5
Total.. ...... ... . i.1 1 :7.11
Breakage,little over 7-10 per cent.
Breakage occurs in the following
ways: In transit from State dispei
sary to county dispeinsary. during
which transit each case is handled
six or eight times, and as the hand
ling by railroad hands and drayien
is extremely rough it is to be expee
ted that the breakage item will be
large. Then, after reaching desti
nation and is opened 111, a change in
temperature from hot to cold or from
cold to hot, will cause die loss of sev
eral bottles that break from expan
sion or contraction as the case may
be. Then, again, a bottle of beer or
ale or porter will blow out its cork
and the contents be lost. All of this
goes to swell the item of breakage
which is eharged to the expense ac
count and is deducted from the prof
its that go to the town and county.
From my five years' experienee as
dispeiiser I don't think that break
ige, as Mr. Haselden says, should av
Crage over 1 per cent. The average
with the Manning dispensary. as
showin by statements above, is less
than per cent.
