We regret to learn that Miss Minnie Curtis of Paxville has been ill with typhoid fever. Miss Belle Holladay of the Fork has secured- a position as teacher in the St. Paul school. Those desiring trespass notices to post their land can now secure them at THE TmES office. Dr. W. H. Reynolds of Paxville was in Manning last Saturday, and his re cent illness showed plainly upon him. The county treasurer says that al though the tax books are open for the collection of taxes, he is not. being over rushed with collections. We would ask our subscribers- who formerly got their papers at Sardinia, -and are now on the -New Zion rural route to drop us a card notifying us of :the-change. Mr. A.

Ragin of Columbia, for merly of Summerton was stricken last Monday with a mild stroke of apoplexy at his home on Lady street. The at tack is not regarded fatal. The dwelling and kitchen of James Simmons, colored, near Davis Station, was destroyed by fire last Sunday night~. The fire is supposed to have been set by rats igniting a match in the loft. It is to be hoped that there will be a representation at the mass meeting December 3rd. from every township in the county. Those who feel an in terest mn the welfare of the county should aid in securing a large turnout. Cards are out announcing the mar riage of Miss Arriella Rose to Dr. Arthur F. Doty, at Sumter,.Thursday, November 29th. Miss Rose is a~ daugh ter of Mrs. W. T. Rose. formerly of Sardinia, but now residing in Sumter. A new postoffice has been established in Clarendon county, to be known as Bloomville, with W. C. White as post master. The office is situated at Thomas' mill on the North Western railroad, about five miles from Man ning. The evidence is strong that the depot at Jordan was burned last week for the purpose of robbery. A postoffice in spector appeared upon the scene the next day, and he is satisfied that steal ing from the depot is the cause of the fire. There is a man in this town to be married in the near future who has a great many friends, and he thinks if they are going to give him a weddirig present, the times being tight, they might make the purchase at the Jen 4inson department. store. Nothing has yet been heard from Columbia about the money to pay off the managers of election. The writer will go to the capitol tomorrow and try to get the matter pushed along as an accommondation to those who are clamoring for their money. Mr. Lewis E Wood, Court Stenog rapher for this Circuit has been ap pointed a member of the Executive Committee for. South Cai'olina in the National Shorthand Reporter's Asso ciation, and will* in the near future hold an examination at Sumter for membership in the Association. *Any stenographer wishing to take this ex amination will please communicate with Mr. Wood.-Sumter Item. The citizens of Bishoprille held a a mneeting.Monday to take steps to im prove their cotton market, they allege that cotton in Bishopville is net fetch ing its value, and on some grades about 125 points difference between that and other markets. They sent representa tives to Norfnlk and Savannah to in vestigate. Perhaps Manning might wake up and remove the rope which is choking out her commercial pros perity. We are informed that Mr. S. J. Chandler has been appointed post master at New Zion, in place of W. D. Gamble, deceased. The friends of Mr. Chandler, as soon as they learned of Mr. Gamble's death took immediate steps to secure this appointment. Later however another element came into the field for a Mr. Bu'dldin and this element claimed that the appointment oi Mr. Chandler would necessitate moving the ofiice from Gamble's to Doggett's X Roads which would work on inconvenience to a great many. Itits our impression that no postoffice can be moved without first obtaining permis sion from the postotice department, and if it can be shown that the removal of the office would inconvenience the patrons we are satisfled it would not be rmoved. Postollice inspector J. 1M. Irving o[ Richmond, Va., was in Manning Mlon day, and inspected the local office. He instructed the postmaster to carry out strictly the order of the Postmaster General with regard to box rents. To wit: All box rents remainiug unpaid at the end of a quarter must be closed, and the mail placed in tbe general delivery. The postmaster has abso lutel no discretion in the matter. We mention this in order to make those who rent boxes understand that their box rents must be paid not later than than the end of the quarter. The pres ent quarter end; December 31-st. The Mutual Dry Goods Company is out this week with an announcment to the trade that our readers will do well to read, and then come to Manning and give the excellent stock in tha. etab lishment a look. Mr. McIntosh the manager, realizes that conditions war rant a strong movement of goods, and the only way to bring this about is by offerina extraordinary bargains. Tie stock in The Mutual is not one of odds and ends or job lots picked up for spec ulation, but it is a clean up-to-date of regular standard goods selected with a view to style, comfort and durability. Be sure and take advantage of the good offerings now presented by The Mutual. Read the big ad. Some of our correspondents complain )ecause we do not publish all they write. If they just but knew the value of advertising space, and would dis criminate between advertising and news. they would not have cause to complain.' We do not object to adver tising free of charge for benevolent objects. schools, churches, etc., but we must draw the line at moving pic ture shows or other travelling institu tions that happen to pitch their tents in a locality. We separate our news columns from our advertising, the former, we gladly publish free, the latter we must get pay for, therefore when a correspondent wants to adver tise something that is not for a church or a school, he must seek our paying advertising columns. We want news, and it is a pleasure to us to publish all leaitimate mattir a correspondent writes, but the correspondent cannot work off advertising matter which is subject to pay for legitimate corres pondence. The Carnival. The carnival is a thing of the past. The court house square has assumed its quiet peacefulness and, young and old have once again settled down to calcu late the benefits derived from the hurly burly of the past week. . The Smith Carnival Company had a clean lot of shows, and.the people con nected with it were far 'above the aver age traveling fun-makers. There was no gambling of consequence: the cane racks and the baseball throwing came nearer to chance games, but these were the most innocent species of gaming. The man behind the rack of course came out first best, and the man behind the rings got his money's worth of fun. The most popular place on the grounds was Gran' Pa's candy booth, where the purest and best of candies were manu factured and sold at reasonable prices. Gran' Pa's family consisted of his wife. son and his wife; and grandchild and they were indeed an interesting and happy family of respectable people. The jolly songs of gran' pa and his son were much enjoyed and it had a whole lot to do with intensifying the sweet ness in the teeth of old and young. The lunch counters were also popular resorts and here could be seen almost any time all classes from a bank presi dent down to Henry Smith making in dentures in his face with a Hamburger sandwich. They were hot ones, clean, well seasoned and well cooked. The Ferris wheel and merry-go-round were a mecca for the kids and some who were kids before- the civil war. The wild animal show was good, so were the moving pictures. The minstrel, "the colored aristocracy," afforded much amusement. But the show of shows. was "Zora's theatre." We have seen many beautiful reproductions: upn canvas, but the -living flowers in ts show and the electrical mirror work in turning a living woman into a statue, was simply artistic and grand and worth several times the price of admission, even if the other features had been cut out. Mr. Meredith and his wife (Zora) we found to be people of refinement, a class rarely ever in car nival aggregations. - There was, of course, the fortune tell .ers who could read your past, present and future, tell you how many times you have been married, when you are going to get married and who you are to marry and many other mysterious things that may never happen and hardly will, but they tell them and get their~ pay and it helps out the fun. Madamie Coleste who knew her busi ness, and was standing in the entrance of her domicile telling the rubber necks whatshe could do in the way of palmistry and mind reading, when Mdr. W. M. Turner, with a credulous smile on his face made a doubting remark. The Madame quickly offered to prove IEvery [ Two Minutes Physicians tell us that all the b lo od in a healthy human body passes through the heart once in every two minutes. If this action be comes irregular the whole body suffers' Poor health follows poor blood ; Scott's Emulsion makes the blood pure. One reason why EMULSION is such a great aid is because it passes so quickly into the blood. It is partly di gested before it enters the stomach ;. a double advan tage in this. Less work for the stomach; quicker and more direct benefits. To get the greatest amount of good with the least pos sible effort is the desire of everyone in poor health. Scott's Emulsion does just that. A change for the better takes place even be fore you expect it. we will send you a samole free. 'Be sure that this p cture in the form of - Iae is on the wrap - e f every bottle of u.sion you bu:y. Sco-- & Bownt Chemugists she could irake good, asked M-r. Tur ner to let Ier examine his hand. the hand was given to her: selecting a deep line, asked Mr. Turner if he had ever hbad much to d- with horses. ie replied in the negative, then, says the Madame ;this line indicates that You would make a first class chambermaid 'for a livery stable." The boys gave Turner the horse laugh, and he wa)ked off to see the snakes: it was all right, such things ar- always liable1o happen when we butt-in to a carnival speil. and adds to completing the phantasiavoria -the many colored lights, the whirling of the flying-jenny, the si7zincg of the lunch counters, the loud and drawling sounds of the spielers voices, the barkers, the cane rack and baseball artists, music playing, laughter of the multitude, the fashionable dressed com mingling with the ragged: white and colored; buckra and niggers, all in one conglomeration of fun-having mixup. It was an interesting sight. The free acts were splendid. Mat Gay makes a most wonderful backward high dire. It makes the onlooker hold the breath. Then there is Melle Boni,who performs on the trapeze and has some very intri cate features. Her whirl around a rope is a very difficult piece of work From a financial standpoint we doubt if there was much profit fQr the management, as it takes a whola lot of nickles and dimes to make up the enormous cost of maintaining such an aggregation. The tented city vanished in a single night, and by daylight Sunday morning there was nothing left on the square but a lot of loose paper and some little "niggers" hunting for what they might find. The management we found to be gentlemen, courteous and polite, ever ready to aid in keeping order, and they seemed anxious that nothing would oc cur to hurt their reputation. They. left Manning after midnight Sunday night for Georgetown, where they are showing this week. Honor Roll Moses Levi Memorial Institute.
