Drs. Brown and Dickson were called and they set the broken limb. Mr. Thames is getting along very nicely. Mr. A. C. Davis who enlisted as a private in the United State-; army, has had the good fortune to get into company .E. 38th, Infantry, commanded by Captain Claude E. Sawyer of Aiken S. C.. and shortly after Captain Sawyer took command Mr. Davis was promoted from a private to 1st Ser gean. He - expct too to the Philippines There wi*l soon be a movement on foot to organi%,, a cotton factory on the mlutual plan. It has been fully demonstrated that it is to the interest of every farmer to take stock in a cotton mil!, and when the share's are placed within.their reach as is proposed, we feel sure that our farmers and merch ants will take hold of the project and push it on to success. Now is the Season when the small boy fills himself with green fruit, which invar iably leads to cramps, diarrhoea or dysen tery.

Kalamazoo, AMich., says: "Kodol Dyspepsia Cure cared me of a severe case of indigestion; can strongly recommend it to all dyspeptics." Digests what you eat without aid from the stomach, and cures dyspepsia. D. 0. Rhame, Sum merton; Dc. W. N. Brockinton, Manning. Iere is another case of misplaced educa tion, John Benbow, colored, was arrested list Monday for forging the sgnatures of Messrs. C. M. Mason and. J. P. Moore to two orders at the store of Mr. J. W. Heriot. One order was for $S1.50 and the other for $.50. When Mr. Mason went to have a settlement with Mr. Heriot he discovered the forged orders and lost no time in hav ing Benbow arrested. Benbow will be tried al th.e coming term of court. E. E. Turner, Compton, Mo., w".s cured of piles by DeWitt's Witch Ha -1 Salve after sutffering seventeeb years ana trying over twentv remedies. Physicians and surgeons endorse it. Beware of dangerous counterfeits. D. 0. Rlhaine, summerton: Dr. W. M. Brockinton, Manning. Last Thursday was "opening day." at Jenkinson's, and quite a crowd of ladies went there to see the sights, and they saw them. The store was nicely arranged with beautiful millinery and dress goods, and everything to attract the eyes and wishes of the ladies; from quite early in the morn ing until after sundown there was a con stant stream ot people going in and coming out of Jenkinson's and everybody was pleased with the beautiful display of goods. W A Dyches, Whaley, S C. writes: Have used Dr M A Simmons' liver medicine 10 years for indigestion, bad colds and tired feelings. One dealer sold me Zeilit's. say. ing it was the same, but I will not be fooled again. Sold by Dr W M Brockinton. Kendall is not to be downed by "open ings" or "closings." He does not permit a competitor to gain one step ahead of him, as soon as he picked up last week's TinEs and read where there was to be an opening in town, he didn't do a thing but addressed a lot of cards to customers in the country and had an "opening" on Thursday too, Kendall's millinery department was put in holiday attire, and it had the effect of at tracting a big crowd of ladies who were iighly pleased with the new designs for the coming seasons. There's always hope while there's Jne Minute Cough Cure. "An attack of penen monia left my lungs in bad shape and I was near the first stage of consumption. Onc Minute Cough Cure completely cured me." Writes Helen McHenery, Uismark, N.D. Gives instant relief. D. 0. Rlhame, summerton; Dr. W.M. Brockinton, Man ning. Another case of the careless -leaving of poisons resulted in death last 'Thursday af ternoon. Ben F. Jhekson, colored, living about 2 miles east of Manning went off from home with his wife picking cotton; they left a 15 months old child in charge of a six year old boy. While they were away the boy got to rumaging about the house, and finding a bottle on a shelf he concluded i dose the child as he had seen its parents do on severn! necasions. The bottle con taned le.adanuum and the dose given to the child resulted in death. A coroner's jury was summoned anid they rendered a ver dit in accordace with the facts stated. For wounos, burns, scalds, sores, skin diseases and all irritating eruptions, noth ing so sc.>lhing and healing as DeWitt's With Hazel Salve. Mrs. Emma Bolles, Matron Engiewood Nursery, Chicago, says of it: When all else fails in healing our babies, it will cure." D. 0. Rhame', Sum merton; Dr. W. M. Brockinton, Manning. On the People's Warehouse floors yester was some tobacco that had been on the floors at 'Timmonsville, the price at that point was not satisfactory so the party brought it to Manning and was well pleas ed with the result on Mr. Mason's dloor. There is nothing like a good, clean, straight forward methods of doing business. At the People's, every body is treated alike. Mason has no favorites to give special prices that they may drum in their sec tions, but every man on his floor receives a fll and square price for his tobacco, and this sort of business will win in the end. Watch! DeWitt's Little Early Risers iormaanently cure ahronic consti pa?tion, biliousness, nervousness and worn-out fe-eling; cleanse and re-gulate the entire system. Small, pleasant, never gripe or sicken-"famous lettle pills." D. 0. Rhame, Summerton; Dr. W. M. Brockinton, Manning. The B. F. Johnson Publishing Company of Richmond, Va.. favored us with some of their school books, which we have ex amined and find them far superior to the books in use heretofore in our schools. They are beautifully printed and illnstrat ed, and they are at least 25 per cent cheap er than other books. We understand this company has offered to take old books in exchange without charge and we hope our trustees will take advantage of the offer. This company's histories are not sectional; they do all sections justice, which is not the case with a great miany histories. We have no hesitancy in recommendirng B. F. Johnson Publishing Company's school books. "I wish to express my thanks to the moan ufacturers of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, for having put on the market such a wonderful medicine," says W. W. Massingill, of Beaumont, Texas. There are many thousands of mothers whose children have been saved from at tacks of dysentery and choicra infantuma who must also feel thankful. It is for sale at the R. B. Loryea drug store. There is hardly a day but that somebody reports having seen Bill Dixon the night before, and yet Dixon manages to elude those who are on the lookout for him. We do not take any stock in the oft repeated rumors about Dixon and believe he has left these parts altogether. It would not sur prise us if the alleged seeing of Dixon is not for the purpose of putting on him dev ilment that is being done by others. On last Friday night Mr. D. M1. Bradham caught Wilhae Fraser, a-colored boy hereto fore bearing a good reputation, in his cow stable. It was betwten U and 10 o'clock and Mr. Bradham had just returned home from Atlanta and was looking about his premises, when he e-spied some one go around has cow in the lot and drive her into the stable and close the door. Mr. B~radbam rushed up to the mnn, caught hold of him, discovered who he was, and brought him down and turned him over to the police. Now had Mr. Bradham's cow been taken, the theft would have been pace on Diyon sure. Did They Do It Z One day last week a Mr. Oppenheimer, traveling salesman for the firm of Fincken & Jordan, grocers of Charleston, was in town and verv evidently not pleased with the progress that is being made by the Manning Grocery Company, because, in a conversation with Mr. Avant, manager for the firm. Oppenheimer predicted the early demise of our local wholesale grocery, and then proceeded to inform Mr. Avant that the wholesale grocery merchants of Charleston, at a meeting, resolved to de cline to sell the merchants of Manning un less they first signed a written agreement to bur from the Charleston merchants the year round, and not turn their fall business into the hands of local grocers. Mr. Oppenheimer may or may not have authority to make such an extraordinary threat, but if he told the truth, that the Charleston grocery men had resolved to re qnire of our Manning merchants a written agreement before selling them goods. then we have lost all confidence in the business judgment of Charle;ton's wholesale gro cery dealers. It strikes us that Charles ton has suffered enough already by the re quirement to sign papers. We remember when it was a common practice in that city to require a written agreement to ship a I certain number of bales of cotton and in ease of failure to ship the required num bvr. a commission was charged; it was this that helped take away a good deal of the cotton business from Charleston, and now if Charleston's wholesale dealers propose to tie our merchants with written agree ments they will simply kill the goose that laid the golden egg. The Manning mer chants can and will buy where they please, and certainly wherever they can save money, as this is a day of competition, and in order to keep up with the pro-ession every cent must be saved. If Mr. Oppenheimer has misrepresented the Charleston business men, then it is but simple justic-e t.) them that his threats should be made known to them, that they may know what manne- of man they are sending ont to sell goods ir them. We are well acquainted with a num'ar of East Bay merchants, and we do not believe that Mr. Oppenheimer does them justice; in fact we honestly believe that such talk is a great injustice to such an establishment as the Carolina Grocery Company, a house that we know is made up of business men who do business on business principles. The Carolina Grocery Company woul- not care to do business with a merchant who was not watching his business close enough to keep abreast of th-e markets, and who was not trying to save every cent possible, for it is only those men who are abreast of the times that settle promptly. Several of our merchants were incensed at the threat made by Mr. Oppenheimer, and they did not hesitate to express their entire independeLce of Charleston. In fact some of our local merchants have about as good or better commercial standing than some of the East Bay merchants, and if Charleston has resolved not to sell our mer chants because they patronize the Manning Grocery Cow pany and thereby save freight, she can continue to stiek to her resolutions and our merchants will continue doing business at the same old stand, and buy when and where they find the best induce ments to buy goods, in spite of Charleston or any other seaport town. Oa the 10th of December, 1897, Rev. S. A. Donhahoe, pastor M. E. Church, South, Pt. Pleasant, W. Va., contracted a severe cold which was attended from the begin ning by violent coughing. He says: "After resorting to a number of so called 'specifics,' usually kept in the house, to no purpose, I purchased a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, which acted like a charm. I most cheeifully recommend it to the public." For sale at the R. B. Loryea drug store. A sweetheart with a sour disposi tion is apt to spoil the honeymoon. Kodol Dyspepsia Cnre is a scientific com pound having the endorsement ot ominent physicians and the medical press. It '-di gests what you eat" and positively cures dyspepsia. M. A.

We sell the GOLDEN MILL, which is one of tihe best made. Why? Because they are constructed of the very best material, and are made as cornp act as possible to secure Strength, Durability and Easy Running, and their capacity must not be judged by appearances, but determined by the size 1of the larger rolls which have greater diameter than in some mills with larger exterior measurements. They press the cane dry, as only strong mills compactly built and with lathe-turned rolls will do. The gears are detachable from rolls, and with improed relutch for thes p arts, tere can be no slipping.C, nsc h Ebreaking of a single cog or the wearing out of any or all of them necessi tates te purebase of an entire nw roll and gear.fsue n hs Mls They will not bend or break like iron, and will wear longer with less frie Etion; they run in babbitted boxes which, when worn, can be renewed by any machinist at a trifling cost. Steel shafts and babbitted'boxes produce Ebut little friction, hence great durability and easy running. They are fit ted with steel bolts and lock set-screws and other improvements suggested by experiece necessary to the completion of a perfect Cane Mill.aemd Eof heavy rolled Copper or Galvanized Steel instead of iron, both of supe rior quality.
