The Oil Mill ginnery will be closed next Saturday and the Monday follow ing and account of the Christmas holi days. THE TrMS editor is a yictim of that awful feeling this week and he is una ble to give the usual attention to his duties. If you want to have your eyes opened wide with astonishment go to Rigby's and get his clerks to show you what they propose to do between now and the first. We have had several complaints of THE TrES not reaching Paxville last week. The paper left this office at the usual time, and the fault lies on the rail road, and not with us. The Mutual is the place for rare bargains just at this time. On the 1st, the company will be reorganized, and from now until then everything is ham mered down to the lowest notch. It is better to give than to receive, and we hope our friends will think of this when they are in a giving humor think what pleasure it gives .a poor editor to have things given to him. The party of hunters from this county that camped near Hell Hole, have re turned home, and so far as we know they have nothing to show for their trip. It is certain, we haye seen noth ing they brought home. Captain W. C. Davis has been chosen Deputy Grand Master by the Grand Lodge of Masons, which convened in Charleston last week. This is an ex cellent selection, one which will add materially to the Masomec cause. Cards are out announcing the coming marriage in the Methodist church at Summierton, Wednesday evening Jan uary 11th, of Dr. Robert S. Beckham, Jr., and Miss Inez Brunson, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Brunson. Married at the residence of the bride's father, near Manning, Decem ber 18th, by the Rev. M. A. Connors, Mr. E. Jackson Touchberry, of Pax yille, and Miss Virginia Riggs, daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Riggs. In callng attention to the Peruvian advertisment in another column we re gret to inform our patrons that the prices of potash and soda has advanced, and that we cannot sell any more soda and potash at the figures quoted last week. Adam James, after serving a thirty day sentence on the chain gang for the town, was brought to Manning last Saturday night to be committed to lail on a charge of burglary. Arriving at the jail gate Adam broke loose and escaped. My wife was all run down, and I feared a long illness; but one bottle of King's Sarsaparilla made a new woman of her. It is a wonderful medicine. F. J. REDMAN. Seversville, N. C. Sold by Dr. W. E. Brown & Co. Sunday night, between Silver and Pinewood, Jasper Thomas shot and killed Neptune Coley.Thomas surrend ered himself to the sheriff and is now in jail. We learn, it is claimed, that Coley was attempting to break into Thomas' house when Thomas fired up on him through the closed door. The Bank of Summerton has exhib ited an intelligent alertness by getting out for the coming year a very hand some and attractive calendar, on~e which will be a great help to any busi ness man, and an ornament to his office. Our thanks are due President Smyth for the honor of being one of the bene ficiaries of this institution's enterprise. We shall certainly prize the calendar. The "Smoker" at the Commercial Club in Charleston last Thursday eve ning was largely attended, and every body was made to feel at home. The guests from Clarendon were Mr. R. B. Smyth, President of the Bank of Sum merton and the Editor of THE TmmS. Charleston's business men have an ex cellent club, and there are no better entertainers in the world. Last Monday Aaron Priolea u was sentenced by Judge Brawley of the United States District Court, at Char leston, to three months in jail and a $50. fine. Sentence was suspended yes terday until January 2nd, in order to give time to Prioleau's attorneys to file an appeal. Prioleau seems to be having a better show for prison than for Congress. ve would urge the farmers through out the county to give attention to the call of Vice President Hodge for town ship meetings to be held on the 31st inst., to send delegates to the court house January 2nd. There never was a time when is was more necessary to. organize than now. The meeting last Saturday was poorly attended owing to inclement weather, but we hope on the 2nd, day of January to see a gathering of men with a full determination to get the farmers in an organization which: wl be benefiia to them. Arrived in Manning last Mondy morning-"Mr. "Ap." Frierson and Mrs. J. E. Fludd, accompanied by Sheriff Davis, who brought them un der requisition from Valdosta, Ga., and we doubt exceedingly if the couple can be convicted of the crime charged against them. It is almost a certainty they cannot be if they are well repre sented at the trial. Later-On vesterday afternoon a preliminary hearing was given 'Mrs. J. E. Fludd. and Mr. Ai Frierson. the evidence before the magistraLe failed to show a probable case of guilt and he dismissed the proceedings and dis charged the prisoners from custody. A brilliant man once said: Dr. King's Sarsaparilla is the most wonderful I medicine I ever saw. I was run down, nervous, weak. could not sleep---was a sick man. I took a thorough course six bottles-and am well. JNO. W. STAGG. < And it only makes men as good as I new, but women as well. Sold by Dr. W. E. Browne & Co. Sheriff Davis seems to think we un justly criticised him in our last issue, when the fact is we did not criticise him adversly, but simply suggested that he could have found an excuse which would have been approved by the people had he devoted his time to t locating others for whom he has war- 1 rants. It is the sheriff's duty to exe- 1 cute warrants, and strictly speaking, he has no discretion in such matters,but when the extraordinary arises which 1 the public would rather rid itself of, 1 then in such a case, the sheriff would not be censured for using a:discretion. The sheriff is mistaken in thinking we blamed him for going after the parties referred to, nor did we mean to criti cise him adversely in our reference to Robert Stukes, a man-slayer being at 1 large. We simply meant the Stukes' case alone would have given him an excuse to let Frierson and the woman stay in Georgia. We have no reason o unjustly criticise our sheriff, espec iallv now that he will soon go out of office. Our relations with him officially have always been pleasant, but that should not stand in the way when we express our views for what we think is the public good. The Key that Unlocks the Door to Long S Living. The men of eigty-five and ninety years of age are not the rotuned well fed, but thin, spare men who live on a 1 slender diet. Be as careful as he will, however, a man past middle age, will jcasionally eat too much or of some ,rticle of food not suited to his consti- t ution, and will need a dose of Cham berlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets to leanse and invigorate his stomach and regulate his liver and bowels. When this is done there is no reason why the verage man should not live to old age. ( rhe R. B. Loryea Drug Store. The committee who were to look into the matter of water works, are now ready to report, and at the request, of Mayor Bradham a citizen's meeting is called for tomorrow night at 8 o'clock rhis is an imuortant affair and every property-holder should be present. At this meeting it will be decided whether Dr not council is to be petitioned to 3rder an election. Under the law none but free-hold voters can sign petition to order the election, and in order that 1 everything shall be done as the law rirects it is well to see that none but t those lawfully entitled shall have a r voice in asking for the election. A free bold voter is a man legally qualified toe ote, who is the owner. of real estatet in thie town, in his own name. "Of all sad words by tongue or pen, The saddest are these: I hold for ten."

Let tis have a large and representative meeting that day. E. D. HODGE, Vice President Farmers Association. PROFIT The matter of feed is of tremendous importance to th'e armer. Wrongo edig i loss. Right feeding is profit. The up-to-date farmer knows what to feed -his cows to get the most milk, his pigs to get the most pork, his hens to get the most eggs. Science. But how about the children ? Are they fed according to science, a bone food if bones are soft and undeveloped, a lesh and muscle food if they are thin and weak and a blood 1 Food if there is anemia? Scott's Emulsion is a mixed ood; the Cod Liver Oil in it makes flesh, blood and muscle, the Lime and Soda make bone and brain.

After the material part of the feast ,as concluded Sovereign J. L. Wells old of the occasion of his initiation and *hat he thought of the Woodmen's 3oat. Joe says. "It shore does take ierve to try that Sweet William," and ie said it in a way that left no doubt LS to his earnestness. Sovereign E. C. Horton. Jr..

Sovereign A. I. Barron responded to he toast, "New Members," and in a ouching, eloquent manner discussed he sentimental and fraternal side of the >rder. Sovereign S. L. Krasnoff then told he applicants what they would get and he matter and mn -ner of his telling aused great enthusiasm. Sol. gets his ases mixed buthe talks hard sense in witty, mirth-provoking way and his >rogue adds to the interest in what he ays. Besides those above enumerated here were other short talks following vhich Sovereign Charlton DuRant, the onsul Commander briefly gave an Lccount of his office for the past year nd told of the progress of the lodge, ncluding the contest conducted n sovember by the members of the Camp or the purpose of obtaining new mem >ers. In this contest the Salem Com nittee consisting of Sovereigns S. W icIntosh, J. S. Evans, J. R. Barrow, 3. B. Mouzon and B. M.

Every truggist has it. Growing Summerton. The editor of THE TIMES was subpoena d to appear before Judge Richbourg ,t Summerton as a witness last Satur lay which prevented his attendance tpon the farmers meeting. We know of no town in the State hat has made the rapid strides Sum nerton has made within the last three 'ears. Every indication points to a ontinued growth, and if ever it has he electric line, which is a strong robability, then Manning will have o look to its laurels or Summerioa? till "get there" first. We were great y impressed with the faith the busi ess men of that town have in its fu ure. This is manifested in the char .cter of the business houses. The tores are on the modern order with rell filled shelves, bright looking ales la d ies, an da g e ne ral ir of active competition. The town as three hotels, and two of the hand omest drug stores we know of any rhere, each supplied with licensed truggists. The Capers & Co. store is a uiling made of sand and cement, raving the appearance of stone, the irst building of the kind erected in the tate, the store is equipped with all he modern improvements to make an ,ttractive drug store. The D. 0. Rhame rug store is a brick building elegantly rranged within,and a very attractively rranged place. The prescription de ~artment shows signs of great pains aking and the whole store indicates a :ood business. Summerton has a very attractive sank building, and this institution is. oing a surprisingly large business. Judge Richbourg, who by the way, as the reputation of being the best Jagistrate in the county, has a real ourt house, and all that goes to make t convenient for the court, jurors and he attorneys practicing before him. The Judge presides with great dignity .nd his court is highly respected. The ause on trial last Saturday wvas Mrs. . E. Brigs's, of Darlington, against dr. E. P. Briggs, violation of lease. W. C. Davis, Esq., represented the he plaintiff, and J. H. Lesesne, Esq., he defendant. The jury could not agree Lnd a mistrial was ordered. Then in mother case growing out of the same ause the defendant questioned the urisdiction of the court, and after a tiff argument, the court decided it did jot have jurisdiction.

Mrs. Moses was a resident of Sumter for about 60 years, and was one of the strongest adherents to the Confedera cy. It was mainly through her efforts that the monument to the memory of the Confederate dead, that now adorns the Graded School square, was erect ed. This was, probably, the first mon ument erected in the south to honor the memory of those who gave their lives for their country's cause. This was one of the many noble acts that charac terized the life of one of Carolina's most honored daughters. The funeral services were held at the Synagogue at 4 o'clock this after noon.-Sumter Item 16 inst.
