The marriage fever has become some what of an epidemic; every paper we read has numbers of marriage notices. The preachers are certainly doing a good busi ness and this should be encouraging to other professions. Many a household is saddened by death because of the failure to keep on hant a safe and absolutely certain cure for croup such as One Minute Cough Cure. See that vour little ones are protected against emer Seney. R. B. Loryea. Mr. W. B. Wilson, the genial secretary and manager of the Carolina Grocery Com pany, spent last Friday in Manning. Mr. Wilson is always a welcomed guest in this town and his many friends are always pleased 0 have him come among them. The merchants had their hands full in this town on Christmas eve. Every store that hade an advertisement in THE TiMEs was kept busy from early morn until late at night, and the other fellows sold goods,too. to those that were not waited on by the ad vertist-rs. The flying jenny on the court house square has enticed a little coon into trou bie. The little darlkty became so infatu ated with the free rides that he went into a store lot and cut the rings from harnes.. He was caught up with and placed into the closet of repentance. A very painful accident happened to Johnnie Breedin la-t Thurnday morning. The little feilow stepped out of his broth er's store and as his loot struck the ground is knee twisted and the c ip slipped trom its place. Dr. Brown was sent for and he pushed the cap back in almost a twin.ing. This is the second time such a misfortune has happened to the boy. Pains in the chest when a person has a cold indicate a tendency toward pneumo. nia. A piece of flannel dampened with Chamberiain's Pain Balm and bound on to the chest over the seat of pain will promptly relieve the pain and prevent the threatened attack of uneumonia. This same treat ment will cure a lame back in a few hours. Sold by R. B. Loryea, druggist. At the residence of Mr.W. E. Jenkinson. a brother of the bride, an early morning marriage took place last Thursday. The contracting parties were Mr. R. D. Clarke and Miss Janie Jenkinson. Rev. S. A. Nettles performed the service, after which the bride and groom left amid showers of good wishes for Danville, Va., to visit the groom's relatives. Married last Thursday afternoon at the home of the bride's parents, by Rev. James McDowell, assisted by Rev. W. T.. Mills, Mr. William M. O'Bryan of Williamsburg and Miss Tora Bagnal, second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. I. M. Bagnal. After the cer emony a delightful collation was served to the guests. The groom is one of Williams burg's substantial citizens and well known in this county, and the bride is one of Man ning'., precious jewels which she gives up with the consolation that she goes into worthy hands. It is foily for people to subject themselves to attacks of chills and fever and malarial troubles, when by the timely use of Ra. mon's Liver Pills & Tocic Pellets and Ra mon's Pepsin Chill Tonic they can so 7or tify their systems as to entirely prevent them. Every one knows these famous remedies, but for fuller information ask yor.r druggist for pamphlets and sample dose. For sale by Dr. WV. M. Brockinton, Manning, S. C. The Presbyterian Sunday school schol ars were made to feel happy last night in the Institute hall by Santa Claus plucking presents irom trees and presenting each scholar with two presents. When all of the presents were distributed the chimney in the back end of the stage was torn down, and the bricks, which were boxes of candy, and so arranged as to form a perfect look. ing chimney, were also distributed to the little ones. During. the distributions there was considerable mirth, especially as some of our hair-parted-in-the middle-young-men stepped forward to receive a little tin rattle or a mouth organ. There is no reason why a crop to take the place of cotton cannot be found, if our farmers can do as well on their lands as did Mr. J. W. Mims. This farmer plant ed eleven rows about forty-five yards long and the cane cut from that strip of land gave him 110 gallons of first class syrup; and the beauty of it is, Mr. Mims is not ashamed of his syrup and will send the ed itor some, whom he knows has a sweet tooth in his mouth. Seriously speaking, if our farmers would raise less cotton and hell and devote their attention to cane, grain and meats, there would be no excuse to ask for'an extension of the tax collection and the "hard times" cry would cease. The colored people are going to celebrate emancipation day Monday, 2nd day of January. Edward J. Dickerson, a colored lawyer of the Aiken Bar, will be the orator of the occasion. The program will be quite an elaborate affair. There will be a street parade with a band of music. All of the colored societies and lodges in the county will be in the procession. Then there will he choir singing, reading of po ems and the emancipation proclamation, and refreshments. These annual demon strations are usually conducted with much jubilation. This event is in commemora tion of the thirty-sixth anniversary of Lin coln's proclamation setting the negro free. St. Peter's lodge A. F. M., No. 54, had a most enjoyable communication last Wed nesday night. The newly elected officers were impressively installed, after which the craft and their guests sat down to a magnificent collation. There was a flow of stew and wit until nearly midnight and all who were fortunate enough to be pres ent voted inward thanks to the untiring zeal of Worshipful Master Dr. C. B. Gei ger and Messrs. Ervin and Rigby, Stew ards. i'he feast was prepared and served by Mr. F. M. Benbow, and withont the slightest exaggeration, we can say his oys ter stews could not have been excelled in the finest cafes in the largest coast cities where special attention is paid to the cook. ing of these luscious bivalves. One night last week Mr. Joe Wells had quite a thrilling experience. He had been out calling, and when he returned to his boarding house, just as he entered his room he saw a great big burglar jump out of the window with a bnndle of clothes un der his arm. Mr. Wells at once gave the alarm and aroused the household, and when they went into his room they found the bedding turned topsey-turvey, clothes of every description and in all conditions scattered over the floor, and a trunk gone. This was a very serious dilemma for a young man to be in, but fortunately Mr. Wells had on his best suit of clothes and his pretty patent leather shoes which the burglar failed to get, and this fact was the often repeated expressions of consolation this unfortunate young man gave utterance to. While the household were standing in the room like as many statues in an art galler, a sound came from without and one of the sympathizing friends was re quested to look out of the window to see if the cause could be ascertained. So glad was Mr. Wells that he had saved his patent leathers that he was content for others to look out of the window. After awhile when the excitement cooled down, a search of the premises, with Mr. Wells keeping the rear, losely watching that the burglar should not dode the crowd and get back into the ouse, they searched high 'nd low; tracks were found and they were followed to the lace where the trunk was secreted. Mr. Wells found the lost propeity and was nat urally proud of the discovery, but imagine is surprise when he returned to the house to learn that his fellow-boarders had played a practical joke and the ladies of the house were wickedly conscious of the whole bus. business. Rev. P. B. Wells, the new pastor of the Mlethodist church, delivered his introduc tory sermon last Sunday, and it was the ed itor's privilege to bo one of his hearers. The sermon was well prepared and nicely delivered, and those who knew the lament ed father of Mr. Wells c3uld see the hered itary traces of the orator. The message de livered on last Sunday was bristling with spiritual thought, and the speaker exhib ited a fine command of Englisb. and he also displayed a pulpit training which makes him a gracettil exponent of the gos pel. We have had the pleasurc of meeting Mr. Wells and find him a most agreeable gentleman and one whom we feel will make a lasting impression on this commu nity. We, in behalf of our town and eom mnnity, (itend to him a hearty welcime, and can assure him that the latch-strings to all of our nomes will be found on the outside. The entertainment that was to have taken place at Sumuerton last Thursday evening under the an-,picc of the ladies of the Sunmerton Baptist church was postponed on account of the inclement weather and will come off next Monday evening. The ladies have arranged an elaborate and novel program which will af ford an evening's entertainment and pleas ure, and the proceeds will be used for a be nevolent cause. One of the attractions will be a Japanese wedding which is said to be a spectacular oerformance not often seen in these parts. There will be pretty stage deco rations and costumes. Refreshments will be served and those who have attended enter tainmentq at Summerton know what it means to have refreshments served by the ladies of that section. The editor appreci ates the invitation extended him t, he present and hopes that Manning will be well represented. A murder was committed at Fort Motte last Saturday. Mr. Ed Pauling, a young whitA man. was the victim, and it was as certained from a negro boy who was arrest ed that the murdnrers were four negroes, Worby Wind. Major Green, Dick Duncan and Joe "aylor. The murderers escaped and latec Tnncan and Wind were appre hended, who corroborated the tale told by the negro boy. A telegram was sent to the sheriff of Darlington to ascertain the whereabouts of Green and Taylor. whose reply pointed the searchers to Manning. The authorities at this place were wired and as a consequence Green and Taylor were located and shadowed until Messrs. Kerrick and Adams came here and pointed the men ont and they were immediately ar rested and lodged in jail. Green, when searched, had on his person the dead mian's watch. They were taken to Orangeburg yesterday morning. Green and Taylor are notorious characters and we believe they belong to a gang of robbers. When Gus Deas was to be tried for the burning of Harvin & Barron's store these two chaps were called as witnesses for the defense, but were not used. The evidence against them for the murder of Paulling is very strong and they will probably never re turn to this place again. Last Sunday night being Christmas, there were no regular services in the Bap tist or Presbyterian churches and a large congregation assembled at the Methodist church to enjoy a Christmas entertainment in which the Sunday school children took the leading part. Quite a crowd of sweet little girls attired in pure white and several boys crowded the rostrum and altar and guded in the music by Mrs. Lima Hug gins, who presided at the organ, rendered many beautiful songs and recitations frotu a special Sunday school program prepared for the Christmas occasion. Near the close of the program Rev. P. B. Wells was intro dnced and made a nice address to the chil dren which was very timely and appropri ate to the -occasion and much liked by the audience. Mr. Wells is a fluent speaker and has a pleasant min-irer of entertaining his heaters. At the close of the program Mr. Joseph Sprott, the superintendent, an nounced that the collection would be espe cially for the benefit of the Epworth Or phanage at Columbia, and that contribu tions need not be confined to money, but that any articles which could be used by the orphans would be accepted and appre ciated. Several little boys passed among the audience with hand baskets and a mis cellaneous collection of money, books, .doll babies and presents of all kinds were given that wvill please the many little fatherlsa and motherless children at Columbia. Several slips were dropped in containing such val uable contributions as a barrel of flour, a bolt of canton flannel and such useful arti cles. The whole affair lasted about an hour and a quarter and was enjoyed by all pres ent. Robbed the Grave. A startling incident, of which Mr. John Oliver of Philadelphia. was the subject, is narratted by him as follows: "I was in a most dreadful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain continually in back and sides, no ap petite-gradually growing weaker day by day. Tihree physicians had given me up. Fortunately, a friend advised trying Elec tric Bitters; and to my great joy and sur prise, the first bottle made a decided im provement. I continued their use for three weeks, and ami now a well man. I know they saved my life, and robbed the grave of another victim," No one should fail to try them. Only 50 ets per bottle at R. B. Loryea's Drug Store. 6 Henry Appelt. Perhaps the "kickingest" quartermaster sergeant of the regiment is Henry Appelt of Company I. The regimental quarter master hates the sight of him, which makes him all the more popular in his company, because it's on account of his everlasting "growlng" in~ behalf of his company that makes him unpopular pith Capt. Sullivan, the regimental quartermaster. Sergt. Ap pelt was born at Greenport, L. I., just thirty-seven years ago, and moved to 1)ar hngton in 1801. He is a brother of "My Dear Appelt," who is now Senator from Clarendon county. Sergt. Appelt enlisted as a private in Company A on 31ay 5 last, but was rejected on the physical examina tion on account of a defect in the sight of one eye, but by persistent effort on the part of Senator McLaurin he was accepted by special orders from the war department. Sergt. Appelt was among the very first to offr his services to Captain (now Lieuten ant Colonel) Thompson as a volunteer in the Darlington Guards, and did his duty as a private faithfully. The writer was in a position to know of the service of Private Appet. He never sought promotion, but when company I was formed from the sur plus men in thie independent battalion,and Adjutant Gonzales was appointed its cap tain, he asked for Private Appelt to be transferred to his company, so that he cold appoint him quartermaster. Sergt. Appet possesses all the qualities necessary to make a first class quartermaster ser geant, ar.d he is one of the best in the regi ment. He is thoroughly disliked by every other quartermaster in the regiment, which is a glowing tribute to his ability to receive the best of everything for his conipany. Then, too, he never tires. Even at night he is on the alert around headquarters, anrd when he hears of anything that is to he is sued he is up early the next morning, and when Capt. Sullivan reaches the quarter master's department he finds Sergt. Appelt there. His men all think that his equal as quartermaster cannot be found in the Sev entn army corps-and they are about right.

We will sell our entire line of Clothing at cost now. Everybody knows very well that we have to have some profit on what we sell, but now.as we are overstocked on Heavy Clothing we will sell it out at a sacrifice, rather than carry it over until another season.

Not that we are going out of the business, but we want to get clear of our Fall Goods so next spring we will be able to offer NICE, CLEAN, New and Attractive Goods and not something that is five years out of date, or any old stock that has been packed away for ten years. Our Milliner has gone back North to select and study the fashions for next spring. When a lady comes in our store and says she buys five hats from us (for the whole family) for the same money she paid for one or two not as good as ours in other milli nery places in town before we opened, I think that sounds like we are selling $5 hats for less than $2.50. We have about 200 ready trimmed hats on hand now that will be sold cheaper than ever. If you need one come and get it now AT WHOLESALE COST.
