The great periodic star shower which is seen at intervals of thirty-three and one quarter years is due November 12 or 13, 1899. But on the same dates this year a considerable display is expected of these meteors, supposed to be a swarm of cold matter until rendered incandescent by fric tion with the earth's atmosphere. The $5,000 given in trust by Benjamin Franklin in 1790 to help worthy apprenti ces and for other public objects in Boston now amounts to $500,000 and has been de cided to be at the disposal of the city.

Office open after 2 o'clock at Loryea's drug store. 9-t' E. J. Bxowxz, Clerk and Treas. The letter of Mr. A. C. Jones, State chair man of the Prohibition Executive Commit te and defeated candidate for the Legislat re in the late Newberry county primary, should have appeared in THE TImEs last week, but was crowded out by more im portant matter. We give it to our readers in this issue on our outside, and we are satisfied it will prove a disappointment to those who are earnestly advocating prohi bition as amoral principle. Judge . R. Dingle of the St. Paul sec tion had the misfortune to lose his barn and stable and cotton house on the night of the 24th of September by fire, also five or six bales of cotton in the seed, with *all his fodder, some hay and the corn from five acres of land. His carriage house was also consumed, but he saved his buggies and horses. We are informed there is no insurance and it is a great loss. The fire is thought to be incendiary. The Manning Academy will open Mon dny, October 3. Tuition, $1, $2, $3 and $4. Englisb, Latin, French, music and art taught. E. C. Ai.snnooz. It would be a good scheme if some of our clergymen would give out the following notice some fine Sunday morning: "The regular session of the Dude Club will be held, as usual, at the close of this service. Members will line up just ontside the church door, make remaa ks and stare at the omen who pass, as is their custom. Any :ember known to escort a young woman to a church like a man and sit with her like a gentlemen will be promptly expelled from embership." The Second South Carolina Regiment, of which the Clarendon company is a part, and who is now encamped at Jacksonville, ad a hard time of it in the storm of last Sunday night. The storm tore down their ents, flooded their streets and played avoc generally. The lieutenant-colonel and a sergeant major of the 161st Indiana were killed and Private George Bristow of the 2nd South Carolina had an arm broken. one of the Clarendon boys were hurt as far as has been reported. The correspond nt says when his letter was written, the storm had not abated and the worst was yet o come. When you call for DeWitt's Witch Bazel Salve, the great pile cnre, don't accept any hing else. Don't be talked into accepting substitute for piles, for sores, for burns. t. B. Loryea, Manning; L. W.Nsettles, For eston; H. L. Wilson, Jordan. Notwithstanding the depressed condition f the cotton market, Manning is doing a fine cash trade this season. There is not an advertiser in this paper who is not do ing a very satisfactory cash trade, and we' have reasons to believe that some of our erchants will make even larger invest ents in printer's ink. There is no doubt bout it, that a werchant who watches the details of his business and has the ambi tion to compete with others, sees tho wis om of thorough advertising and makes his nvestments accordingly. Watch the ad vertising columns of THE Thnrs and you will know who is up-to~ate and who does not permit moss to grow on their backs. The Republican party has determined to take advantage of its large majority in Con gress by encouraging opposition to the Democratic nominees in this State. Con ;-essman Norton is to be opposed by Ju nus H. Evans of Marion,formerly editor of the Marion Star,an d who was an ardent sup porter of Haskell in 1890. After the defeat >f Haskell, Evans joined the Republici'n party and from that time on he has been a anger-on at the pie counter, but failed to "git thar." His race now is built on the hope that a Republican majority will listen to a contest that he will probably make, nd oust Norton to help swell their major ity. Evans is a first cousin of ex-Governor John Gary Evans and in appearance close ly resembles him. A stubborn cough or tickling in the throat yields to One Minute Cough Cure. Harmless in effect, touches the right spot, reliable and just what is wanted. It acts at once. RL. B. Loryea, Manning; L. W. Net ties, Foreston; H. L. Wilson, Jordan. Elsewhere is the ad. of L. B. DuRant, of Sumter, successor to the firm of R. W. Dc Rant & Son, the well-known hardware and lousefurnishing establishment. Mr. L. B. Du.ant has, in fact, been the manarter of the concern for years and it is through his excellent business qualifications that the business has grown to its present propor tions. He keeps any and everything in the hardware line, and the housekeeper can find every article necessary for her cu linary departmeni. This establishment is headquarters for sportsmimen's goods and the material for wagons and farming imaple ments. -We can assure ouir readers that no like establishment in the State is conducted more business-like, and all patrons are treated with the utmost consideration. For broken surfaces, sores, insect bites, burns, skin diseases and especially piles there is only one reliable remedy, De Witt's Witch Hazel Salve. 'When you call for De Witt's don't accept counterfeits or frauds. You will not be disappointed with DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve. R. B. Loryea, Man ning; L. W. Nettles, Foreston; H. L, Wil son, Jordan. This morning James Boyd, a very black colored individual with an innocent and meek-like countenance, came to town from the Frank MIcLeod plantatioo, now owned Iby Mr. M. Levi, and with him came a woeful tale of trouble to the effect that about fifteen white men went to his domicile last night about midnight and called him to the door. When he made his appearance a y... was thrust into his face and he and his wife were taken out and he was held up, with :pistols and guns and was forced to stand by and witness the beating of his wife with a strap for what these "white caps" claimed was "'scandal izing a white lady's name." Boyd claims the party were white men and that he rec ognized them, but that he was not in town fr a warrant. 0- OW74 a .-.q "Come one, come all, this rock shall fly From its firm base as soon as .
