Blind Tom gave a performance in Manning last Friday evening to a very large audience, and those who heard him were amazed at his talent. Tom has been before the public for 47 years. During that time he has traveled the world over. A great opportunity. Jenkinson is selling out his Clothing and Hats at 25 per cent. discount. It is being daily demonstrated that short crops, bad collections, big stocks fall notes and heavy insurance is a coin b' a'- be to ignite and cause a ~conlagration almost any night. ..eis tobe hoped debt will take on a 'torch craze in this town. D. Hirschmanin is going out of the clothing business. Go and get what you want at a very low price. We have had a number of anxious inquiries about "Buster" our Pinewood correspondent, and on making a search for him we discovered him in a cotton field picking for all he was worth. He will come back to us as soon as he gathers enough to pay his lien. Jenkinson will retire from the Cloth ing~ business and is selling out his stock of Clothing and Hats at 2.5 per cent. discount. Parties having lands for sale are in vited to confer with THE TrMES editor, as he desires to pick up a few real estate bargains, and he has some friends with an appetite for the same kind of a relish. It might be to the interest of parties wanting to dispose of their prop erty to keep this in mind. Do you want a nice Suit of Clothes? Well, Jenkinson's is the place to go; he is selling out his stock of Clothing and Hats at 25 per cent. discount. We fear very much that we will have very little court work on account of the jury trouble. Lawyers who are not anxious for their cases to come to trial will raise the point decided by judge Gary. This is an unfortunate condition, and the tax payers are the sufferers. If the point is raised the first day, the juries will be dismissed, but in our opinion, the juries will be held until the county has had to pay for several days. The County Commissioners met last Saturday to conduct routine business. They have instructed their clerk to go before the State Sinking Fund Com mission to make claim for some money belonging to the county which had been paid to that board. Mr. Lesesne has completed the report of his investiga tion of the county offices and it is now on file in the Clerk of Court's office. It is a voluminous document and shows a tremendous amount of labor and intelli gent care. -We have received letters from friends asking us to draw up petitions to have the stock law exemption repealed, and the-impression has been created that we we personally want this exemption done away with. In order that our friends will understand, we take this opportunity to state that as a member of the delega tion we have no interest in the matter waatsoever, but if a petition is sent to the delegation signed by a majority of the peple living in the section where the lw permits stock to run at large during certain months, we will lay the matter before the delegation and can give our assurance that their wishes will be respected, but we cannot take an active interest in the gettingf up of petitions because that would make us a partisan. If there is objection to the law all that is needed, is for those op-, posing itsto get up a petition asking the* delegation to have it repealed, and if a majority sign it. the delegation will be duty bound to see that they get the law Our thanks are due Mr. J. W. Mc Leod for a fine lot of turnips and also for two mammoth sweet potatoes. one of which weighed seven pounds and nine ounces. We saw Mr. MeLeod bringing these things to town, and we also had our eye on his pastor who was near at hand, and when we were called and given the 'taters and turnips we turned to the preacher and twitted him with being a secondary considera tion when editors are around. The parson set up a hungry grin and said "it was not the first time people have gone to extremes." The news of Mr. Louis Loyn's mis fortune in being burned out by the recent fire at Timmonsville anud not having any insurance is very much re gretted here by his man'y friends who sympathize with him in this calamity. Mr. Loyns was one of Manmug's mostI respected citizens, and at one time he was among our most prosperous bus ness men, but the hand of misfortune laid hold upon him and seems to be fol lowing him where ever he goes. We hope he will yet come through alright and that this last misfortune will be the dark cloud before the breaking of a happy and bright sunshine for the future. The State Sinking fund commission in its settlements with our ex-sheriff. collec-:ed from him monies that it was not entitled to, as was discovered by the recent examination of the books of the treasure, auditor and sheriff, and the county commissioners instructed their clerk, Mr. J. H. Lesesne. to en deavor to have this money put back in to our county treasury. Mr. Lesesne went to Columbia and appeared before the Sinking fund commission: he suc ceeded in convincing that body that the monev collected from the ex-sheriff on deliniuent tax executions, belonged to the county and not to the State. The commission adopted a resolution order ing the return to Clarendon county of this money, amounting to several hur. dred dollars. The:-e is on foot the organization of a buildiug and loan association in this town. which if consumated will not only be a paying investment for investors, but will be a boon to people of limited means who desire to build hcmes. A party can buy a lot, and to build him a home he can procure the cecessary monev from the association on such terms as will enable him to pay month lv in small amounts. the very thing for a person dependant upon a salary. We hope those who are interested in this project will not delay in perfecting their plans, because with such an in titution we look forward to the open ing up of new streets and new building lots. As we are now situated the town annot grow because building lots are scarce and held at driving-away prices. No town can build up and grow if the lot owners imagine their property con tains oil or gola in its soil, and until aertain property can become developed by enterprising citizens we must stand still. There are several pieces of prop erty, which if developed by the cutting of nice wide streets through, would be rome desirable locations for dwelling's and once started with a good class of buildings, in a short time the lots wuld become as valuable as lots in er portions. The way to bring ut this happy condition, is for our itizens to encourage the organization of a building and loan association, so that our young men can, upon easy terms get homes, and people who have money to invest can find cheap lots upon which they can build houses to rent.

Price 50 cents.* No Reflection, but a Warning Against Easy Access to the Treasury. We have been told that our comments on the action of the County Commis sioners paying the claim of Hon. J. M. Richardson for his mule getting hurt in a bridge, has created the impression that we were opposed to the payment of the claim, and that it is regarded in the light of a reflection upon Mfr. Rich ardson who made the 'claim. If such is the impression we regret it very much; for there is no man in Clarendon county for whom we have a higher regard than we have for Mr. Richardson, and we know he would not think of permitting a false claim to be made in his name, nor would he become the beneficiary of a false claim. The point with us was, not that Mr. Richardson should not be paid for the injury to his mule, but as a proper caution in the disbursing of pub lic funds the commissioners should place the decision of such matters in the hands of a jury in order to deter those who may, by their own reckless ness, get their stock injured from mak ing the county pay. Mr. Richardson's fine mule was injured ina public bridge and we haven't the slightest doubt 'out Barnum's Monkeys "All well-all happy-lots of fun". That is the regular report from the monkey cage of Barnum's Circus ever sinlct the keepers began dosing the monkeys with Scott's Emul sion. Consumption was carry ing off two thirds of them every year and the circus had to buy new ones. One day a keeper accident aly broke a bottle of Scott's Emulsion near the monkey cage and the monkeys eagerly lapped it up from the floor. This suggested the idea that it might do them good. Since then the monkeys have received regular doses and the keepers -eport very few deaths from consumption. Of course it's cheaper to buy Scott's Emul sion than new monkeys-and that suits the circus men. Consumption in monkeys and in man is the same disease. If you have it Cr are threaten ce ed with it can you take the hint? - Thiis picture represents the Tlrade Mark cf Scott's Ernulsion andl is ont the wrapper of every bottle. I ~ Send for free sample, SSCOTT & B3OwNE, 409 Pearl St.. New York. that a jury would have given him a ver - dict against the county, but if the coi missioners make a practice of paying such claims without suit, they will lay themselves liable tc have claims pre sented that the county should not be held liable for. In this particular case we were in formed that the bridge in which the Richardson mule was injured had only been recently repaired and that it was in good condition. Upon this informa tion we took the position. if the bridge was in good condition then the county was not at fault. hence not liable: but since, we have!]earned differently, and that the commissioners before approv ing the claim investigated the matter and were convinced that the county would have had to pay the claim, and in order to save the expense of a law suit they paid it. We dcsire to say that we had no in tention of reflecting upon Mr. Richard son or the commissoners, but merely to urge the wisdom of keeping the county treasury from being run on by claims that the county is not compelled to pay. A nau's mule may get hurt in a bridge by reckl.ess driving or the removal of a plank. but if the commissioners can show that the bridge was in good con dition, :he party cannot recover dam ages from the county.

The condition of the county is in deed. distressing. We have had talks with a number of men whose business bas taken them to the homes of many people in this county for the purpose -of ollecting debts, and they tell us that a very larze number of people are in a lestitu A- condition. They did not make nough .o pay their debts, and many Farmers. colored and white. are right 3ow without corn enough to last them ,o the end of the year: in some ases rct enough corn to last them :hrouglh this month. The result of this ondition is causing many to hide out what little they have made to keep heir debtors from taking it for ad ances made during the summer: some .iave become so demoralized that they iave lefv their homes and crops, to seek mploy rent in order to keep the wolf of starvaticn from their doors. If what we ,vere teld is true, it is a lamentable con lition, a 2d one which will take the most :areful raanazement to stave off a fam ne. Thesquestion to solve now. is how :o tide o':er this fearful condition: the nerchants must necessarily be in des perate straits, if they cannot collect rom those they advanced, they can 2ot continue advancing because their ,ontinuing to advance depends en ;irely uon their collections to meet ,he demands against them. If they ail to meet their obligations those rom whom they secured the means to Odvance will discontinue, and leave the nerchants in a helpless condition. We therefore urge every one of our 'eaders to strain every nerve to help >ur merchants meets the demands upon hem, fo;' it is the only hope of keeping )ff a famine. If you cannot pay all you )we, do not become demoralized and iommit the folly of running your crop, ake wh.t you have made and g-ive it .1p to those who furnished you this sum ner, and some means will be provided :o aid the honest man. The man who :uns his er'op and leaves his merchant n the lurch may tide over for a few las, but starvation will stare him in :he face next summer. because if he as not acted honestly in this, a time of 3eed, then he cannot get help later on. )ur advice to every man is to pay what 2e can on his debts. and by doing so he vill enable those from whom he got elp the past summer to make arrange nents to hmlp them next summer, which we look forward to with appalling. liight Was Her Terror. -"I would cough nearly alt night lone." writes urs.
