Its open now in full blast, what'? The Bazaar. Mrs. Ferd Levi'of Sumter is here for the bazaar. The new Presbyterian church will soon be completed. Even the weather is playing into t-he hands of the bazaar. Mr. H. B. Tindal of Greenville was in Manning yesterday. J. Gordon Belser. Esq., of Columbia spent yesterday in Manning. Miss Estelle Connor of Greeleyville is visiting Miss Gussie Appelt. The great baby show comes off next Friday afternoon from 4 to 6 o'clock. From 4 to 6 o'clock the babies will be th'e centre of attraction at the Bazaar next Friday. Mr Stephen Thomas of Charleston is here-visiting his daughter, Mrs. W. S. Harvin. They say it comes off in June. and if it is true, then "Salley put the kettle on, and we'll take tea." The store fronts of J. L. McLeod and The Mutual have been greatly improv ed by several coats of paint. E. C. Haynesworth, Esq., of the Sum ter bar was here yesterday on business with the county board of equalization. Equalization boara met yesterday received comnlaints about the raise in valuations, and reduced in a number of instances. Harmony Presbytery meets next Tuesday at Wedge'.ield. Mr. C. R.

Brunson of Manning will lecture to Bethlehem Sunday school on Temperance next Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Public cordially invited. There will be preparatory services for Communion on Sabbath, held in the Institute Hall next Saturday at 11.30 A. M. Preaching by Rev. R. L. Grier Two, tickets have been shown to us as a suggestion for the municipal elec tion. They both have the same mayor, but differ some as to to the personnel of the Aldermen. Rev~ S. A. Nettles of Spartanburg' was here yesterday. Mr Nettles seems very confident of the Southern, Chris tian Advocate's success, and the read ers of that paper are delighted with its great improvement. ''In the spring time you renovate your house. Why not your body? Hollis ter's Rocky Mountain Tea drives out impurities, cleanses and enriches the blood and purifies the' entire system. 35 cents. Dr. W. E. Brown & Co.. Rev. Jas. McDowell will be installed pastor of Midway 'church Saturday morning. Preaching on Friday morn ing and afternoon, Saturday afternoon, and Sabbath morning.' Rev. W. J.Mc Kay and Rev. J. M. Holladay are on the committee to install Mr McDowell. Frank Willlams, colored, was shot last Saturday night from the effects of -which he died Sunday -night. There is some mystery about this shooting, as . itis not known who did it. Several negroes have been arrested but the evidence against them is not at all certain.. The best safeguard against headache constipation and liver troubles is De Witt's Little Early Risers. Keep a vial of these famous little pills in the house and take a dose at bed time when you feel that the stomach and bowels need cleansing. They don't gripe. Sold by The R. B. Loryea Drug Store. A very deplorable shooting occured in Sumter last Friday afternoon in which the well known architect Mr. D. G. Zeigler, was badly wounded. Eugene Hogan. Jr., formerly in the employ of Mr. Zeigler did the shooting. The wounded man is a brother-in-law of Mr. A. 0. Antly of this town. The Bazaar Bulletin has- been issued, and distributed throughout the county. It contains an article from the pen of 3. H. Lesesne, Esq., which is of great value, and should 'be read by every scliool child in the county. The arti cle should not only be read by the children, but it should be preserved for its historic value. Read J. L. McLeod's half page ad. in this issfe, and be sure to visit his store, you will see a marked enlarg ment to accommodate his immense stock and there's a vast improvement throughout. Attend his millinery open ing. Miss Purvis is anxious to display her skill and invites a critical inspec tion of a most beautiful line of bats. If the business men of this town will pull together as well as the ladie have1 for the bazaar. Manning would soon be able to have something tangible to jus tify the prices asked for real estate. The greatest drawback to the progress of Manning is the selfish spirit of not wishing to act upon the suggestiun of another, and the trembling manner in which the hand goes down into the pocket. Every fellow waits to see what his neighbor will do. in the hope that the neighbors will do it. and give him a free ride in the progressive car, and the consequence is, the car rushes by, only to wake our people up to realize that the car has stopped at another sta tion where the people bought their tickets early and were ready to get on board at the blow of the whistle of en The drug business of The 1. -3. Lor yea drug store. which has for many years eujoyed an excellent reputation -has been sold to 31essrs. W. G. King and Dr. .. F. Avrant. Mr. I. M. Lor yea, the recent proprietor of this busi ness has bme;j in failing health for the past. year. and1 has decided to retire.He turns over to his saceessors an est-ab lished business. with a good stock of goods. and it is now up to them to keep it up to the standard of exeellence which made it a housebold word in the countv. Dr. J. E. Arant is a pharmacist who has lived here before, and we feel sat isfied he will give che public a compe 'ent and accommodating service. Mr. C. King who is D1'r. Arant's partner will not have any active counleution with the business. but he will use his financeering ability to make the con cern a success. He proposes to make the R. B. Lor yea Drug Store first class in every par ticular. and if keeping everything in the drug store line. with a polite and comnetent service will accomplish suc cess, it is already assured. The railroad authorities have sent material fdr the enlarging of the depot. We had hoped they would have seen it to the town's interests to erect a decent depot, and passenger station, but from what we can learn, they only propose to enlarge the pres ent structure. It will always be thus, until the business interests absorb some get-up, and get to pulling together for additional railroad facilities. We can have another road into this town by simply putting our feet under the table with the Alderman's of Alcolu. and giving them apractical assurance of a money support if they will come here. Just let the Alcolu railroad blow one of its locomotive engines in the town of Manning, and the A. C. L. will sit up and listen. That company will realize, something in the consideration line for these people is due. and they will not let us go lacking for decent stations, good schedules, and just rates. The Alcolu railroad is heading in the direction we are anxious to reach, and if our business men will just arouse themselves. do away with little selfishness, come together with a deter mined effort,this town will be unbottled within one year. Three little rules we all should keep. To make life happy and bright, Smile in the morning, smile at noon. Take Rocky Mountain Tea at night. Dr. W. E. Brown & Co. Resting Under the Shade of the Trees. Mr. W. C. Chandler was stricken with paralysis at his home on Harby avenue about 8 o'clock this morning and died two hours later. He noticed the first symptoms of the seizure while walking in his garden. Making his way into the house he seated himself in a chair and told members of his fam il that he was feeling extremely un well. A moment or two later he fell from the chair. He was unconscious from the time until death ensued. Mr. Chandler has been in failing health for several months apd this par alytic stroke was brought ohy Bright's disease, the malady from which he was suffering. Mr. Chandler, who was a native of Sumter, was, in his 46th, year. He leaves a wife and large family, two brothers, Messrs. J. M. and S. R. Chandler, and many friends to mourn his death. He was a substantial citizen, a sincere Christian and upright man, whose removal by death in his prime is a loss to the community.-Sumter Item 24th inst. W. C. Chandler lived in Manning a number of years. He was a steward in the Methodist church,was a member of our town council, and was look-ed upon as one of our most progressive citzens. He was highly esteemed for his manli ness, and piety, and when he moved away, it was with the regret of our community. Mr. Joseph Sprott, a very close friend to the deceased, and others at tended the funeral in Sumter Sunday. Honor Roll for February of Moses Levi Mem orial Institute.

SCOTT & BOWNE, CHErISTS 4o9-41 PEAnrL STRT, N~w YORE THE BAZAAR. A Brilliant Social Event-It is an Exposi tion-The Women Wrought and Executed Well Their Part. Ths much discussed and n';; hJOp1Cd for event is here. The dream of many is at last fulfilled. The bazaar, the so cial event of the season, and from which much in a financial way is ex pected, is in full blast. The women de vised it, and the women are ruuning it. Have thev done wellY Come and see what they did in transforming the Peo ples Tobacco warehouse from a cob webbed betaken rookery into a bower of lovliness. It took toil and patience to accomplish this, but it was done, and the women did it. The skill displayed in the decorations alone is worth a visit to the bazaar. and there is no use to gainsay it the ladies of Manning cer tainly 'did themselves proud in their noble efforts for a cause that is to be everlasting. The bazaar opened last night. and is now in full blast, and a weleome awaits those who visit it. The merchants, have all around the immense floor space, booths to adver tise their goods and wares, and some of these booths are indeed very elab orately and skillfully arranged. The house is lighted with many incadescent lights and several arc and Kit son lights, presenting a most brilliant spectacle, and this, min gled with the green makcs a most en chanting effect. The sales booths where the many do nations all put on for sale are presided over by ladies whose never lagging in erest in the cause is an incentive to induce patronage. The various de partments are divided into separate booths and compartments. Flower booth decorated in gre'n and flowers, and ladies in appropriate costumes preside. Besides there is a cabbage patch where prizes are offered. The children are in ecstacies over the Doll Booth. where beautifully dressed (olls are for sale,and its "Mama buy me this one" all the time. Tihe Candy Booth, decorated in red and white, where, all kinds of tooth sweets are sold. Home made candies specialty and there is also lots of french mixtures and fruits. The Fancy work Booth, decorated in pink. Here is the mecca for the ladies. If a woman ever gets lost first hunt her about a fancy-work table and she will how uin. At this booth, there is beau tiful eedle and fancy work. some of which is indeed works of art, many or ticles were contributed by friends from broad, and some real magnificent work was done -here at home and some too, by boys. The work of these boys s surprising. Decorated in blue is the booth where hankerchiefs. kimonas and aprons are displayed, and here also is a great ren dezvous for the lady folk. Do they buy? No. they make their husbands do that. he Japanese lanterns, parasols, etc., is the booth served by beautiful Jap mnese ladies, where drinks are served ind where much pleasure is obtained. Then there is a general merchandise booth, where sewing machines, cook ;toes, clothing, shoes, lap robes, har ness, bale of cotton, buggies, and a hundred or more things are displayed. The grocery, decorated in the colors >f the nation and oat straw, contains a magnificent display of canned goods and all kinds of fancy table groceries. We cannot undertake in this article o give a full account of this affair, re erving our force for a full and complete tory "after the ball is over." Speak ng of the ball reminds us that there is i nice orchestra lending much to the ttractiveness of the occasion. Everybody should visit the bazaar, and before it closes next Friday night e feel sure it will be voted the great st event that has ever taken place in anning. The baby show, which promises to e of exciting interest comes off Fri ay afternoon from 4 to6o'clock. There will be the finest lot of "tots" that ever ~ooed at the sight of a red striped stick f candy, and every son or daughter of them will be heroes and heroines. Do not fail to see this batby show. The crowd last night was imfnense, od everybody was disposed to make his a gala occasion. The game booths did a land office business, and business rom start to finish was good. The ba aar, is indeed an exposition, equalled, if not better than many of the depart ents at the Charleston, Atlanta, and ashville expositions. This is no over ~tateent. come in and see it. The Minstrels. The performance given by the young ladies, last Thursday evening was a uge success in every way. It put into the Library Fund treasury $136.35, and the large audience enjoyed every mo nt of the two hours entertainment. When we say the performance was far >eyon~expections we are not throwing ny undeserved bouquets. The cur tain rose, gna the opening number was atamborine drill by school girls in uni form. Their movements were grace ful and in rhymthic measure to the piano music performed by Miss Ida Bradhami. This number occupied about thirty minutes, land there was not a single false sten or discord. The next niumber was an Indian Club Drill, by a company of students, two being young men. The company was directed by Professor Daniel. It was indeed an 'excellent exhibition of calisthenics. Evexg; movement was made with arcson*nd grace, and some of the inarchitistheels, were as perfect as the best disciplined soldiei-s. These two opening nutubers were re eived with applause,:a nd high comn mendation, and it wasinerited. When thie curtain rose again, instead of a pretty bevy of girls beautifully uniformed, there was upon the stage in a semi-circle~a ilock,drove, or bunch of-the blackest.. clumsiest and ugliest coons that ever donned a bandanna -kerchief" or a calico frock: the blush upon their chimne'v-back faces, would have darkened thel:heavens. and put the chickens to roost at midday. They were black, but their color had no de terent etfect upda. the songs, skits and jabs. They kept theaudience in a rip roar from beginning0 the end, and when the cu taid:Kinti down, the audi ene w.s loa etto leave. The "gmeks" made upon almost everbody~ in town were enjoyed hearti l ad most of them were real good, muh better than the average"cracks" made by viiting minstrels: very few of tfle younien escaped the humorous darts ML~ise funmnakers, and too,there was a studiied effort to reach the visi bilities of t1-e audience, and it succeed ed: especially did the minstrels set the audience to roaring when a telegram addressed, to the company was opened and read as follows.
