I Died in Columbia on the 8th, inst., Mr. Frank McGrath, the piano tuner who frequently visited Manning. 1\ c Grath died under distressing circum stances. He was taken sick and was not able to pay for proper medical atten tion. Admission to the hospital was de nied him, and although against his pro test he was taken to the poor house where he died. The deceased was a native of Ireland, and a member of the famous Louisiana Tigers, a piano tuner by profession and in religion a Catholic. McGrath was a heavy drinker, but quiet, and always gentlemanly in his manners. It was not creditable to the citizans of Columbia to close the hos pital doors against this unfortunate man, and in a city where there are churches, a Door of Hope, and other charitable organizations, together with a Veteran's Camp to have permitted this Confederate Veteran to die in the poor house is a sin and a shame.

He married Miss Fannie McFaddin, who with six chil dren he leaves surviving him. Mr. Sauls was a good citizen, progressive and industrious.

Read GDonnell & Company's adver tisement, and thent when you go to Sumter, go there and you will see what thorough business methods can accom plish. Mr. Neil ODonnell, the gentle manly proprietor of this mammoth store is well known to the people of Claren don, for he has done business with them many years. Commencing with a small beginning he has with years of hard work built up one on the largest gen eral mercantile businesses in the State.

Reserved seats 35cts., Admission 25cts. Manning's Market. Those who h e been keeping up with our comme...s on Manning's market will remember that we gave our busi ness men some advice that if followed would injure to their interests. We told them what they would have to do to build up our commercial relations with the producers of the county's pro ducts, and we believe that most of them appreciate the motives which prompt us. Now to make Manning a first class market, should not be left for-the mer chants to do it all. Every farmer in Clarendon county is interested in mak ing the county seat a first class market. Why? Because the county seat is the hub on which the rest of the county revolves, and if the county seat is pros perous and growing, the county like wise prospers and grows. If the town of Manning was to increase in popula tion and business importance, every foot of land in the county would en hance in value-proportionately; there fore, it is essential for our farmers to lend a helping hand in the work of building up. How is this to be done? The merchant must see to it that the market is the equal of any, and the far mer should take pride in bringing his products here to increase the market's importance. The more cotton and to bacco brought here, the more buyers will seek it, and the more buyers, the more active will be the competition. If our farmers will bring their cotton and tobacco to Manning, necessity will drive out anything which may have a semblance of monopoly. There will be no monkey busines in tobacco, and the cotton buyers will always have their "limit," and they will only be too glad to buy direct from the wagons. If the farmers give this town an earnest trial this season, and they do not see an im provement, then before the next season rolls around, steps will be taken for the necessary relief. The more cotton taken from here and sold on other markets, weakens us, and as we become weakened we cannot compete with the strong markets, what gives a market strength, is the quantity and quality of it's products and when the streets are white with cotton, it quickens the pulse of the commercial body and the demand be comes greater. Farmers bring your cotton and tobacco to Manning, and you will find that our merchants are only too anxious to build up yours and their own interests. There is no risk to run in bringing it here, if the buy ers wont buy, because of not having received their "limit," then you can whisper a deal over the teiephone. Remember that Manning is your natur al market and what helps this town helps the county; if you give our busi ness men the encouragement they should receive, we are satisfied it will result in your and their benefit. Business men you must in order to encourage our farmers, see to it that this market is made as strong as con ditions will warrant, and for may as will make up your minds that cotton must be bought and not be driven away. Build up the market, by paying full prices, be satisfied with the profits on your sales and do not expect to make profits on the cotton. Buy the cotton with a view of selling goods, if this is done our market will be good healthy and strong and Clarendon's farmers will come to it. The ethics of pharmacy is not alone competency, but the desir3 to be cour teous, obliging, attentive and prompt to the wants of those who are desirous of having prescriptions compounded. Mr. Plumer Clark, Ph. G., second honor man, realizes this, and our pair rons can rest assured that he will ac curd them the most kindly and consid en 'te treatment. He is in charge of our prescription department. While we do not rest on past laurels still we, can, with pardonable pride, point to over a quarter of a century of reliable and reputable business methods comn 'ined with courteous treatment to all without discrimination. It is hardly 'ecessary to say that this reputation will be maintained by the present man 1gement. The R. B. Loryea Drug Store, Isaac M. Loryea. Prop.

The LEVI BROTHERS of Sumter, in order to meet the demands of our growing and expanding business, were forced to seek more commodious uarters. Accordingly we contracted for and leased the old J. T.
