PuBiLISHES ALL COUNTY ANSD TOWN OFFICIAL ADVERTISEMENTS. M ANNING, S. C.: WEDNESDAY. FEB. 1, 1S99. Why Is It That W. E. Jenkinson holds his own in all these hard times? Why, it is because he sells fir-t class goods at very close prices and treats his customers right and they stand up to him it matters uot who tries to take thet away. No man can build up a permanent and lasting trade unless they sell first class goods and sell them at the right prices. Cheap, trashy goods will make a good run in the start, out in the end they will be left behind. Fifty boxes Wild Duck Plug Tobacco at 35c per pound. This tobacco is in 10 pound boxes and the feirmers will find that this tobacco is cheaper than it can be bought in Charleston. We have now in stock a large lot of Flour, Sugar, Coffee and Bacon. and those who wish to lay in their spring supply of gro ceries will do well to see our prices as we are sure we can save them money.

The communication in this issue by "Tiaxpayer" deserves more thtan a passing notice. That Manning needs a better school system no one can deny, so let all pull together for a graded school. We should not neglect our duty when it comet to such an important matter-the educa tion of our children. We invite furthet discussion of this matter through our col umn. Agitate it among your neighbors, and let us keep at it till we get a graded Moses Levi Ieati. Died at his home last Thursday, Moses Levi, in the 72nd year of his age. The deceased was born in Bosen bach, Bavaria, on August -, 12l. He came to America at the age of 20 vears and at the age of 21 moved to Sumter, where lie engaged in the mereautile business; later, he mar ried Miss Hannah Jacobs. in the city of Charleston, and the pair, happy in their mutual affection, began life in Sumter. Having but limited means, the undertaking was neces sarilv in the face of adverse circum stances, but it became the founda tion for a successful career. Mr. Levi's early career was a struggle and lie met with conditions which schooled him into the mastering of necessities. Often he contended with conditions which would have made an ordinary man heart-sick and give up in despair; often the gloom of dis appointment settled about li busi ness affairs, but as often would he, by his indomitable spirit, dispel the gloom and continue the fight. Many of the older people remember how Mr. and Mrs. Levi toiled and strui gled in their early married life, and how they mutually shared each other's burdens. In 1856, when Clarendon was cut off from Sumter, Mr. Levi moved to Manning, and still with limited means, for in Sumter his efforts ac complished but a little more than a living for his young family. He founded a business which year by year grew better, and with it his credit grew stronger and as he was about to enjoy his accummulations from his hard fought struggles, the rumblings of war began, then the black clouds hovered over the land. He had at this time established his business upon a firm footing and was regarded by the business world a safe merchant. Then came the call to arms and he respoaded for duty. The Sprott Guards was formed and he entered the army with it, leaving his young wife with his little chil dren to manage affairs while he was at the front to fight for his adopted country. His company was a part of the 53rd Regiment commanded by Colonel Harry L. Benbow, and with it he shared the privations and hard ships of a true soldier, and no great er mark of esteem can be won by any man than the esteem of broth ers in arms. All through the war, from the time Mr. Levi ente -ed the army until the rumblings of cannon died away did he stay with his com rades, and often it is said, he exposed himself unnecessarily to danger. His Colonel relates an incident, which showed the bravery and devotion of the man. Mr. Levi had obtained a furlough for a number of days to go home on a visit, and he went,and before the furlough was out, the command, while in a very hot fight, death missles were flying through the air like rain, the shrieks of the wounded and the groans of the dy ing could be heard above the din of battle, a. hand was placed upon the Colonel's stirrup, and as he looked to see the cause, there was Mr. Levi begging for a gun, that he might join the fray. The Colonel expressed his surprise at seeing him there, and ordered him to the rear, where he would be out of danger, but the or der was disobeyed and the soldier pleaded with his commander to let him fight. He was given a gun and he entered the battle with a bound ing heart. The writer wishes that he could recall the many incidents he has heard related by Mr. Levi's comrades, and he would go to th~e trouble to gather them for this sketch were he not pressed for time with his Senatorial duties. The soldiers of Co. L., 23rd Regi ment, knew Moses Levi, and when ever they spoke of him it was in words of love and esteem. Levi was a man, a soldier, and a comrade with a heart that knew no selfishness. He was taken prisoner at the battle of Five Forks and taken to Point Lookout, where the material of his composition showed itself. There in that prison, deprived of his liberty with some of his comrades, he suf fered such as only those who had like experience can appreciate. His na ture revolted at being idle and by some means he caught the ear of an official, and through him he man aged to communicate with relatives at the North and in this way he managed to procure some things that he might employ the natural trend of his mind and at the same time contribute towards relieving the sufferings of his fellow-prisoners. He opened a store in prison and em employed as his clerks W. H. Ep person and WV. H. Cole, at a salary of a plug of tobacco per week, and in this way he made a sufficient amount of money to buy things for himself and comrades that prison regula tions would not give, and he also was enabled to send help to Colonel Benbow, who was a prisoner and in a hospital at Washington. While Mr. Levi was in service, his folks at home, on account of there being no transportation, had accum mulated a considerable quantity of cotton and when Potter's army came through the cotton was de stroyed by the torches of the enemy, and when the Confederacy furled its flag, and General Lee sheathed his sword, Mr. Levi came home to find that his business was gone, property destroyed and a new beginning of life was his task. The people were impoverished by the fatal struggle, fortunes had melted away and everything was in a demoralized condition. He gath ered himself together to face the new conditions, and instead of sit ting down to grieve of his losses, he brushed aside the past, as if it were a dream, and re-entered that battle where brain, pluck and energy, in stead of powder and lead are the re quisites to master and accomplish results. Was Moses Levi a soldier in the battle of powder and lead? Then he proved himself to be a Gien eral in the battle of brain, pluck and energy. In this battle he was what Napoleon and others were to the soldier; what Washington and Lin coln and others were to State; what Claflin, Stewart and others were to commerce. They fought in their respective callings and they reached the goal of their ambitions. Moses Levi battled and struggled and he, too, reached the goal of his ambition. This he did after being repulsed numerous times. In the general run of his business, although he met many losses, he overbalanced them with greater gains, but in a business battle unexpected causes often dash a man's hopes to the ground, and if he is not courageous he will go with them. About the time in his career that he began to feel that his busi ness would be able to withstand all opposing forces, he was persuaded to endorse for a large amount of money, and as is the inevitable re sult, he had to make his endorse ment good by paying the debt, an~d as trouble never comes singly, this was followed by a fire which piled loss upon loss. This fire almost broke his spirit, and had he not been pos sessed of an iron will and an ambi tion which never learned the word fail, he would have given up. At that time Moses Levi was Claren don's prop. He drove the people from lementing over their piles of ruin and started them off into the new order of things. He looked af ter and supplied their wants, and with the magnfic-ient credit that his integrity and perseverance built, lie was Clarendon's benefactor. The widow with her infant upon her knee felt the heneficence of this man;: the old soldier, broken down in health and fortune, was propp~ed up by thi man; theornha n with noth ing went to this man for aid, and was not turned away: the bride and groom were given a helping hand to start their battle of life by this man; the sick and distressed felt the warin hand and big heart of this man; we could go on and enumerate. To-day Iany, many appreciative hearts will gaze about their surroundings and say what we have said is true; yes, from those gracious hearts will spring into many eyes tears of love and appreciation of the man now resting in peace. Moses Levi was a man and had his faults,as other ien,but his good traits rise to mountain proportions com pared to his weaknesses and frailties. He was the explorer and counselor of his own fortune. He regarded contracts, written or oral, as things sacred. His honesty and energy gained for him all the credit he wanted for his oper ations. Moses Levi was a man thor oughly familiar with imen, having been poor himself; lie sympathized with the poor, and where one showed an independent spirit with a desire to work and be honest, he could al ways count upon aid and encourage ment from him. Mr. Levi was not without ambition, but his ambit:on was to lead in his line. He took a lively interest in public affairs and in 1876, when the State was endeavoring to shake off the Radical yoke, he lent his aid and means for the work. His services were so aupreciated that when we got into possession of the government, he was urged to permit his name to be placed on the ticket for the Legislature, but he re fused. He was several times Intendant of the town and on the board of Wardens, and in the troublons days of '76, the town was fnll of drunken negroes attending a Ile publican meeting and they had listened to incendiary speeches 'till they became an noying to the citizens; Warden Levi de manded that they respect the law, where upon one of the leaders struck him, and n a twinkling, a ball from Mr. Levi's pis tl entered the fellow's body, for his in solence. Excitement ran high and a riot was imminent, and the news spread out into the country and before daylight the town was full of men, who had stood shoulder to shoulder with Mr. Levi on the bloody fields of Virginia, and they came to protect him with their lives~all through the exciting ordeal he was cool and really pre vented his friends from precipitating a riot. He leaves, besides his widow, the fol lowing children: David Levi, of St. Paul; Mrs. Rosa Wein berg, of Manning; Mitchell and Ferdinand, Levi, of Sumter; Mrs. Ellen Iseman, Spar tanburg; Meyer Levi, of Rutherfordton, N. C.; Mrs. Sallie D'Ancona, of Chicago, Ill., and Abe and Louis Levi, of Manning. The only loss by death the family have ever experienced belore, was an infant son about twenty-seven years ago. Mr. Levi was thoroughly wedded to his business and the nice fortune amassed by him speaks for his success. He was an indulgent parent, and it was his pride to provide well for the comfort and happiness of his family; they have never known de nial from him. In business he was exact ing to the cent, and away from his busi ness, there never lived a more liberal and genial soul. In his home be was princely in his hospitalities, and in it be was a king who ruled with love and affection. We would, were we able to do so, like to write a more elaborate sketch of his life, because the man had many characteristics which would be well for our young men to imitate. He was a good citizen always ready to aid in projects for the upbuilding of the com munity. He was made a Mason in Sum ter over forty years ago, and although he was one of the founders of St. Petars Lodge and was voted a life meniberehip, he clung to his mother lodge. Mr. Levi was also a member of the Knights of Pythias, and while in his latter years he did not attend meetings, he always took an interest in the welfare of the lodges. The news of his death brought to Man ning many friends to show their respect, and on Friday morning the body was taken to Sumter, escorted by Masons and Knights and was met at the depot on arrival, by Claremont Lodge. The body was laid away to rest in the Jewish Cemetery. Mrs. Wyman of Philadelphia, a sister, and Mrs. D'Ancona, a daughter, arrived too late to see him alive. Mr. Levi's estate is a large one, consist ing of many tracts of land, bank stock atnd other investments, besides his store and accounts. His life was insured for about 50,000, and he owed very little money. He left a will; besides providing for his family, he made a bequest to Mr. M. Ja abs and bequeathed to Mr. J. Taylor Stukes one thousand dlollars. He also pro vided for his taithful man servant, liay mod Wilson. Notice. Thomas & Bradham will have in 'd0 head of nice Mules and Horses the last of this week.

Editor THE TDgEs: I hive been gratified at seeing some ex pressions of yours in THE TmiEs recently advocaiting a graded school for Manning. O all towns with which I am acquainted without such an institutioni know of no one nore in nieed oif sneh or in a better condition for inaugurating one. Two ef forts heretofore have been made in that di rection, but failed, either through some slight technicality in the law or the luke warmness of its advocates. Very few who were approached on that subject failed to sign the petition or express their approval, but failed to talk for it and failed to work for it, both of which are veiy essential in pushing any eLterprise to a successful ter miunation. It is not enough to say, "Oh. yes, it's a good thing, I am in favor of it," aid then stop. Ten years ago the citizens of the town went to work with coiueinndabie enterprise ind built the Manning Collegiate Institute. That was a long step forward, but lacked a little more at the time to crown those noble efforts with coiplete succs,. Ailebt com paratively small as contracted, for which the trustes were at first responsibi, bat which nas later placi i;pon the property by the stockholders, thus relieving the trustees. These facts are fresh in your memory-how the debt rolled up until the property was sold to meet the indebtedness -how it was bought in by the present owners-how efforts were made to reorgan ize, etc. The result has been that for the past two years the principal of the school hai had to lease the property and assume all responsibilities. This state of affairs is very undesirable thut a town the size of Manning cannot lay caim upon a single piece of school prop erty as its own. Even further, the county which fosters education and provides suit able (?) school houses in the various dis tricts doesn't possess a school building for whites within the corporate limits of the town-a town of 1,500 inhabitants. Just think of the condition, fellow-citizens, and bestir yourselves for a better condition of affairs. No one qnestions the value of an educa tion, but are the best things being done to wards securing it? Private schools will do very well in some respects, but are they or will they be adequate to meet the de mands of the present as well as the fu ture? The Institute has enjoyed a good patronage, but can the school continue the work brdened as it is with the conditions set forth above? It is -only a question of time as to how long the school will continue as such. Can the other private schools, which are full already, accommodate the ones now taught at the Institute. If they can, are the people of this town satisfied to continue even as at present? Something should be done and done quickly to give the people a school founded upon some thing more substantial than a fluctuating private patronage. The present conditions are not conducive to the best work possible and I make this appeal to you in the hope that some movement may be set on foot which will place our educational advan tages on a firmer basis.
