A New Store, a New Milliner and a New Stock Our Miss Coppedge who served us for the last ten seasons will be with us no more and we will start out this spring with a New Store, a New Mil liner and a New Stock. Our Milliner will be a lady from Baltimore and suffice it to say that she will be up-to-date in every re- I spect. We wish to say to our many lady friends and patrons that we propose i to put all the energy and vim at our command into our Millinery. Depart ment this spring and the ladies can t depend on it that our prices will be lower than ever. Oar Millinery Department will be ably assisted by Mrs. Beulah M. t Dinkins of Williamsburg, S. C., and Miss Ada Bagnal of Manning. Ladies, we want you all to stand by us this spring. t W. E. JENKINSON. Judge R. O. Purdy will preside at our coming court. Died last Sunday near Silver, Mrs. t John W. Rhame. t Dr. A. D. Epps of Greeleyville spent S yesterday in Manning. Mr. S. I. Till is at the North pur- i chasing his spring stock. We have just printed and put instock a new form of labor contracts. Died last Thursday at Wilson, Miss Annie Lowder, aged about 19 years. Died at Mayesville last Thursday, Mrs. Tabby Bryant, aged about 75 years. s Mrs. C. F. Williams of Columbia is in Manning on a visit to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. F. N. Wilson. One of the tidiest places in town is I the new establishment now being open- C ed by Gerald & Thames. Claude Breedin was taken Dr.Baker's infirmary last Saturday and operated upon Suniday. His condition is critical. Died at the home of his son-in-law, Mr. Robert Bodge at Alcolu, last Mon day, Mr. Lamb Boseman, aged about i Mr. W. P. Legg has purchased from Mrs. E. G. Hall the house and lot on Railroad av-enue, known as the "Con- z nor place." -St. Peter's lodge meets to-night in its regular communication. This is an im portant meeting and a full attendance ] is desired. f'Died at his home last Friday morn 'ing near Davis Station,Mr. J. L. Eadon, aged- about 45 years. Funeral at St. Paul's church. Mrs. Hugh McKelvey who has been in Manning visiting her mother, Mrs. S. Iseman has returned to her home in Greenville county. The dispensary was closed last Mon day on account of Washingtons birth day, and many a fellow carried about with him a dry thirst.a We are glad to note that Dr. M. D. Murray of Pinewood has recovered his health and has returned from Balti more to resum~e his practice. A telegram was received here yester terday announcing the death at Colum of Alma,r- five year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Fishburne.c There will be no preaching in the Manning Presbyterian church next Sunday as the pastor wili fill an appoint ment in Georgetown on that day. The force of hands working upon the streets struck for more pay, .and the council arranged with Supervisor Ow ens for a part of the chain gang to work on the streets. SIt is a healthy sign, when farmers ,ake their purchases and give checks on the banks in payment. There are more farmers with bank accounts this year than ever before. Bishop H. A. Tisdale of Summerton was in Manning Monday, and from his hearty pump-handle handshake and his solicitous inquiries after the family, it is suspected that he is a candidate. It would be a good idea to build a warehouse at the depot to stow fertili zers. The cost would be very little and when the roads are in bad condition as they usually are at this season of the year, it would be a great convenience to fertilizer buyers. Died last Friday at his home in Pri vateer, McDonald Furman, aged about 40 years. The deceased was one of the best posted men in the State on South Carolina history, and on Indian matters he was regarded an authority. He had many warm friends in Clarendon. The section forces on the A. C. L. are still on a strike for more pay, and it is reported that unless the railroad au thorities soon get forces of hands back on the roads, the engineers will also strike, because they regard it danger ous to operate upon unguarded roads. A very sad accident occurred at Tur beville last Thursday. A nine months old child of Mr. Henry Dennis was left in a chair before the fire, while the mother was in the yard washing, and a coal popped from the fire, and burned the little one so severely that it is fear-= ed it will not live. The bill introduced by Representa tie Lesesne to increase the county treaurer's salary failed of enactment on account of a rule adopted to not con sider third reading bills on the last day of the session. Mr. Lesesne tried to get the bill up on Saturday but the House refused to rescind its rule. We have in our possession a land plt, which was sent to this offce by a lady who found it. The plat is dated 1$4, and refers to 1,000 acres of land, situated on Nill branch, waters of San tee River. It probably belongs to somebody in this county, and they can have same by calling at this offie. It is against the lawv to operate slot machines that have any chance attach ments. These machmnes in the small towns were not run with a view to gam ble, but merely to sell cigars, .but mi, the wisdom of the Legislature it was deemed best to put a stop to them, which will save many a nickel that would otherwise have been spent for igrs. Mr. James J. Doggett of New Zion, one of Clarendon's oldest citizens was found dead in his barn last Saturday. He had gone into the barn to sbell some corn for mill, and he remained so long that his wife went to see about him. and when found he was cold in death, with a cob in his hand, and it is supposed while shelling corn a stroke of paralysis killed him. The deceased was about eighty years of age, well known throughout the county. He was eccentric, but a good man. Judging from rumors,we are inclined to think there will be a full crop of can didates for the various county ofices, and so far as we are concerned we have no objection to the number, the more the merrier, and the more mate rial to select from. This newspaper will not take sides. between local can lidates. it has no favorite to advance. or has it any one to oppose. We want ,he best man to win, in a free,open,and fair contest. Died yesterday Raymond Wilson, ,olored. an old servant of the Levi fam ly. The deceased shortly after the 'ar was implicated in some trouble in )arlington county, and a number of rears after he was found in Manning Lnd taken to the penitentiary. The ate Moses Levi became interested in is behalf, and made a personal appeal or pardon to Governor Richardson who .ranted it, and ever since Raymond gas been a faithful servant in the Levi amily. The citizens of Manning are called ipon to say whether or not we are to urrender our present charter and put he town under the general incorpora ion Act. Under the present charter he council is practically helpless, it rives no power to put in improvements, end it is altogether inadequate. We re virtually without a charter, because he present charter was framed for a own in its infancy, and by it council >nly has police power. the right to evy a tax, to maintain the streets, and :o abate nuisances. The matter is en irely up to the taxpayers to say 1 hether or not it will be of advantage 1 o the town's welfare to increase the >owers of council that they may levy a tigher rate of taxation, bond the town o build water works and other neces ary,improvements. We favor coming under the general ncorporation laws, because we believe he people will always guard their in erests by selecting the right kind of ouncil. When council has the neces ary power to put in improvements, the >eople will take an active interest in he affairs of the town. As it is, very ittle interest is manifested. mainly be ause it is known the council is without ,uthority to do much. Relief in One Minute. One Minute Cough Cure gives relief a one minute, because it kills the mi ,obe. which tickles the mucous mem rane, causing the cough, and at the ame time clears the phlegm, draws out he inflammation and heals and soothes he affected parts. One Minute Cough ure strengthens the lungs, wards off neumonia and is a harmless and never ailing cure in all curable cases of oughs, colds and croup.

By oder H. B. RICHARDSON, Capt. Commanding. EDwARD F.uREY, 0. S. Salt pork is a famous old Fa.shioned remedy for con umption. "Eat plenty of ork," was the advice t the onsumptive 5o and 100 years ago. Salt pork is good if a man :an stomach it. The idea ehind it is that fat is the Eod the consumptive needs most. Scott'sEmulsionisthemod srn method of feeding fat to the consumptive. Pork is too ough for sensitive stomachs. cott's Emulsion is the most efined of fats, especially repared for easy digestion. Feeding him fat in this way, which is often the enly way, is half the battle, but Scott's Emulsion does more than that. There is some thing about the combination of cod liver oil and hypophos hites in Scott's Emulsion that puts new life into the weak parts and has a special action on the diseased lungs. A sample wil be - ---- 'sent free upon request. - Be sure that this picture in the formi ot a bl is on the - . wrap.,r of every bottle of Emiution you buy. SCOTT & - - BOWNE, CHEMISTS, 409 Pearl St., N. Y. Summerton News. Editor The Manuitf Times I see THE TIMES correspondent at New Zion puts a pretty good phase to the bill introduced in the Senate to transport judges free. I see also where a bill was introduced to change the sal ary of Supreme Court Justices from $2,850 to 3500 with the excuse that it costs more to live now than when the general salary bill was passed. This bill went to its third reading at $3,000. I wonder what kind of "ism" this bill is: hope none of our delegation was in this push. Now, Mr. Editor, I believe that a large majority of the people of this county will agree with me when I say that you have fought a hard and fear less battle with your pen to maintain for your paper the high standard it now has and always for the best interests of the people, and I have no doubt that the suggestions in THE MANNING TIMES will have more and more consid eration. Won-ler if the route from the county seat to Salem to sell sewing machines will be shortened any now by way of Batesburg, S. C.? 1 see in the newspapers where there aame near being a conflagration in the all of the Legislature last week. Now these big fat fellows that feel like fight ing for the State's rights and its wrongs Sad better get outside, for if the struc :ure is in the condition the last com nittee reports, the State would not >nly lose a lot o: money, but the fight ing might throw the State House down mnd some mighty useful, brainy (?) men night be lost in the collapse.

But it is useless to expect any hing better in the future than we have iad in the past, so we come down to >ractical things and real life at home. With this pretace we touch lightly tpon some of the doings, comings and ~oings of the people who make up the ittle world around us in which we 'live, move and have our being." Intelligence of the death of Mrs. Ellis ichbourg. the venerable mother of d'r. L. N. Richbourg of. this place, has ust reached us. We tender to our eihbor and friend our sincere sympa h in his sad bereavement. The many friends of Mr. L. D. Way re not surprised but delighted with he fair bride he found in the home of dlr. . H. Johnson of Foreston, and we ish these young people every happi tess and a prosperous life. Mr. C. E. Bryant of Silver has ac epted a position in Augusta, and his any friends here wish him success in tis new home. The Valentine party at the Grange all Academy on last Friday night was well attended and a pleasant affair. Mr. 0. W. Evans of this place is now trumming for the E. A. Brown TLobacco ompany of Richmond, Va. Mr. at~d Mrs. George Lesesne of San ee paid this neighborhood a flying isit on last Saturday. Mr. S. P. Fairy still lingers in the ar West and his neighbors impatiently wait his return. We expect to see him come laden with the trophies of he chase in the wilds of the Colorado n the shape of deer, bear, wild cat, en-foot rattler and buffalo. Mrs. S. P. Holladay is preparing for he annual exhibition of the Panola cademy which we know will be an in ellectual banquet to all who are pres mt on that occasion. W. ILetter to 3. D. Gerald. Dear Sir: Would you rather have tour customers speak of your shoes as ,earing well, not running down at the ieel, as turning water, and taking a ;hine; or wag their heads and say iothing? We'd rather have have ours, at long .ntervals, say: "We want some more aint and we want Devoe" We know .t isn't in human nature to paint very ften; we don't expect them to come -ery often; we dont want 'em to. All e want is to paint what they have to aint, whenever they paint it; the .onger the time the surer they are to ~ome-back. There's business enough n the world; there are houses enough o paint; let 'em take their time. If we were a shoemaker, we'd make ;hoes to last half a lifetime, and shoe he whole town. Yours truly, F.

W. Cunningham spent sev eral days in Charleston last week. Miss Berta Pringle spent yesterday t her home in Sumter. Mr. J. F. Sule and family are visiting relatives at this place. I notice in last week's issue where your correspondent from Turbeville tells of the troubles of two old bachelors of his section. The writer wishes to inform him that his section is not the nly place that old bachelors exist. We have several at this place who exper ience a great deal of trouble in the effort to capture one of the fair sex. As the writer is one of the bachelors he would like to have some one publish his troubles, as perhaps that would have a tendency to soften the heart of some one of the many pretty girls, and thereby did him in securing a lifetime companion.

This is the month tomatoes and cabbages should be planted in hot beds. Macn of the success in truck raising depends upon getting fresh seeds that are true to name. This is certain when you get your seeds here. Every seed was grown last year and under condi i tions that insure the reliability of the variety. Among the more populary favorites for early planting in this section we would name the following: Cabbage, Tomatoes, Corn,. Radishes, Lettuce, Peas, Rhaie's Drug Store, Summerton, S. C.
