Last Sunday nighxt a horse was stolen from the stable of Mr. C. R. Harvin, and a hog was stolen from the pen of Rev. J. 0. Gough. The residence of Mr. E. L. Wilkins, was entered last Sunday night while the family were at church, and from the pantry was stolen a ham, two pounds of butter and a lot of buscuits. Probably it was the same set that stole the Harvin horse and wanted the rations tor their journey.

Large rwards have been offered and several pait.es. charged with complicity in the k.lling of Postmaster Baker, have turned State's evidence and are implicating some of Lake City's best citizens. The friends of the men under ar rest are circulating petitions to raise uou ev to help defray the expense of employ ing counsel for the defendants, and to pay their board bills during the trial. A peti tion circulated in Manning a few days ago was signed by several, and they contributed several dollars. Ex-Attorney General Bar ber has been employed to assist the prose cution. In calling attention to our readers to the announement "To The Public" by Mr. L. Levi, we feel that we but voice the senti ment of the people when we wish for him much success in his determination to found in our town a mercantile business. Mr. Levi is no ,tranger to the readers of THE TimEs, and as is well known he sprung from stock that snatched success from what appeared to be insurmontable difficulties. His name connected with a business en terprise, insures contidence at once; the people of Clarendon will be content to feel that a son of the late Moses Levi would be untrue to his fathers honored name, were he not to uphold the legacy of integrity handed down from father to son. Louis Levi was born and reared right here in Manning and the people can claim him as one of their own. He is amply able to buy his goods to the best advantage and we feel sure of his success. When you come to town be sure and give him a call. We are glad to call the attention of our readers to the announement of Mr. J. W. McLeod, published in another column. If there is any virtue in having an immense stock, bought at a lttle over half of the wholesale cost, Mr. McLeod can attract a trade to Manning such as has never been seen here before. There is no doubt about it, he is prepared to soil goods cheaper than they can be bought at wholesale, and from the fact that he has come into THE 1 IMES to inform the people is sufficient to know that he intends to give the trading public the advantage of his recently made "deals." McLeod within the past few months has bought two stocks of goods from establish ments that could not withstand the pres sure of low price cotton; they went to the wall, and by having the cash on hand Mc Leod with a far-seeing business eye, took advantage of the situation, by stepping in and buying the stocks, and there by saving them from being shipped to some other point. We have no hesitan cy in saying that J. W. McLeod can sur prise the natives with low pricesand from our knowledge of the man, he will do that very thing. Mr. McLeod did not invest his mo'ney to lay up and rust nor did he buy the goods as forage for moths, but teic in vestment was made to make money, aInd this he can do, at the same time give to his customers the biggest bargains they have ever seen in this or any other mar ket. Come to Manning, come everybody and see for yourselves what McLeod can let you have for very little money.

Manning was visited last Monday by a fock of hawyers who gathered here for the purpose of 'investigtoLg the failure of Mr. E. C. Horton. The bearing was had be fore Hon. Edward C. Hughes of Charleston, specisl referee appointed by the United States Court. and representing the claim ants were, Messrs. Marion Moise of Sum ter, George L. Trenholm of Charleston and Wilson & Duliant of Manning. Repre senting Mr. XW. B. Wilson, who foreclosed a chattel mortgage given him for money loaned to Horton. were Mesra. Fitzsimmons of Charleston and Joseph F Rthame' of Maning. atnd representing Horton were Messrs. R. 0. l'urdy of Sumter and Abe Levi of Manning. The testimony was taen in the law office of Major Levi, with Mr. L. I. Parrott as stenographer. T'he court of inquiry was not public, or rather no invitations were extended to outsiders to be present, and the witnesses were not allowed to bear the testimony of each other. From what we can gather the Horton lia bilitis are far in excess of the assets. In fact, if the mortgage executed to W. B. Wilson st;.nds, arid we cannot see bow it can poss~biy be disturbs i, then the credit ors ot Hort:'n will have a very short divis ion among the assets, because the stock was sold under the mtortgaLge at public auction and only brought about enough to pay the mortgage and e-xpenses. We took the trouble to inquire into the morgage 'given by Horton to Wilson, and find that Wilson loaned Horton the cash and the whole transaction is backe-d up by drafte, check-, and the books of the bank. The moitgage was dulv recorded, the sale properly adserti:eed in the county paper, and the sale madhe without any notice of or' jectin being made by the Horton credi tors. At the sale Mr. Wilson was the only btdder and the stock of $5,500C was knocked iown to' h:n for S'3000, the mortgage was for $2500; a tew days iater Mr. Wil'on sold the sme tek to Mr. J. W. McLeod. Tuis is the first case in bankruptey proceedings ever held in M~anning under the new law, and the R~eferee not having tinish~ed taking th testimony, a recess was taken to some day yet to be agreed upon by the attor ney s.

LEwIS, To the Public: Believing that my training in mer cantile pursuits has fitted me to un dertake a mercantile business vent ure on my own account, andl having and abiding faith iii those with whomn I h ave spent the whole of my life, I have decided to opein up a gen eral nerc'antiH lebniess in the town of Maiiining.opposite the court huise?, where it is mly purpose to establish a business which will give the trading publie every advantage that lifelong experience and a thorough knowl edge of the wants of the people can I propose to do business upon busi ness principles and in accordance with the demands of progressive com petition. I do not expect to be here today and somewhere else tomorrow, but I have pitched my tent in my na tive county to stay. In the selection of my stock I feel sure of being able to please the most exacting, both as to style and qual ity, and as to quantity, there will be no complaint on that score as the markets of the world are open to me, and my purchases already made will convince a most scrutinous public that I am prepared to meet competi tion from whatever source it may, come, and that those who have been posing before the people as "leaders" may well look to their laurels, as I do not intend to be found in the rear rank in this mercantile battle-I am not built that way. On every train my stock is arriv ing, and it comes from the very best markets. All that I ask is for the people to come to my store and in spect for themselves. It will be my earnest endeavor to bring to Man ning a trade which has heretofore drifted to other markets and to ac complish this, I realize the founda tion must be laid at the beginning by keeping up-to-date goods at up to-date prices. I cordially invite the people of Clarendon and adjoining counties to come to my store, and if I do not con vince them of my ability to sell them goods at prices to induce them to buy from me, I will acknowledge the fault to be mine. In this announcement I will not at tempt to particularize any special line of goods, but when all of my stock has arrived I shall quote prices which will compare with any mer cantile house doing a legitimate bus iness in the State. I shall not adver tise an article at a price less than the wholesale cost, and "be out of it" when the purchaser calls for it; those tricks can only work for a short time and are bound to react unon those who resort to such deceiving tactics. This is no temporary venture on my part; I have started this busi ness as my life's work, and with the advantages I am so fortunate to enjoy I feel satisfied the people will give to me all of the encouragement my fa cilities and energy will merit. I have secured the services of Mr. Preston B. Thames and Miss Hattie Bagnal to assist me; the former is a man of experience and needs no in troduction to the people of this coun ty, and the latter is a young lady well qualified and will make my lady customers feel at home when they visit my store.
