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.

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. One Minute
,ough Cure is pleasant to take, harm.

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

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

that puts new life into the

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

ndeavoring to draw a long breath be
ore taking up the pen again and wait
ng to hear something cheering from

Dear Sir: Would you rather have
tour customers speak of your shoes as
,earing well, not running down at the

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

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.

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. Who will take the first
step toward giving assistance?

For the Early Market. m
If you want to make the most money out of your
garddn this year, it is time to begin thinking about
planting radishes, lettuce, corn, cucumbers. peas and
onion sets. 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.
We have a full line of these and all other varieties
ever grown in this section.
Problemis Soked, Not Guessed At.
Illegible writing and perplexing problems often con
front the prescription clerk. We have devoted much
time to the scientific study of prescriptions and many
years to practical experience.
We Are Seldom Puzzled,
but when we are we do not compound until we know
just what is required. The fact that our business con
stantly grows is evidence that our service pleases. You
are safe in bringing prescriptions to RHAME'S.
LITTLE THINGS AT
A SAVING.
Doing little things well is a characteristic of this
66 1 store. We recognize the fact that a transaction that
may seem small is often of great importance to you, and
our methods and service are such that we care for the
smallest sale as carefully as we do the larger ones.
There are hundreds of little articles in a drug stock for
wanted it is to fill a need which nothing else can fill--it
is our constant effort to supply these trifles. This same
attention to detail is carried throughout our business.
In selecting goods, each article is purchased with regard
to quality. Each price is as low or lower than the same
quality is sold for elsewhere.
