There has been successfully oper ated in this town a fertilizer factory which turns out a product second to none in the State. The farmers are delight ed with the fertilizer manufactured by the Manning oil mill, and there is more and more demand for their goods. Your attention is directed to the new advertisement of The Shaw-McCollum Mercantile Co, of Sumter. This con cern is well ktnown to the people of this county, having done business in Sumter for many years. and they have earned by their methods the confidence of the trading public The Shaw-McCollum Mercantile Co., carry an immense - assortment of goods and they are ac commodating and attentive to their 0 trade.

There has been got d ten up a very strong petition in his be y half, many signing it feeling that his punishment has been sulicient. d The county superintendent of educa s. tion extends a cordial invitation to all trustees and teachers in the county to the convention here next Saturday 4 September 30th..

Eugene McCollum, three former Sumnmerton boys, have recently opened up a swell dry goods, ready-to i wear and millinery store in Sumter; it n is one of the biggest stores in that town, g and these popular young men who are eestablishing this business will succeed there is no doubt. They carry t-. mag nificent line of ladies' ready-to-wear - goods and their millinery department is s first class in every narticular. A lady r can go to McCollutn Brothers and get r fitted out from head to foot with wear of the nicest material cheaper than she can have them made up, their laaies' under s garment department is worth a visit to see. These young men also carry men's r clothing, shoes and gents' furnishings, Stheir store is divided, the mens' goods on one side, and the ladies' on the other r with the millinery with several milli e ners up stairs. The people of this coun e ty who trade in Sumter should call on h the McCollum boys when they next vis it Sumter. ,Big Picnic. I, The Redmen of Seloc, had a great day k last Thursday, there was a large attend -ance estimated at about 600, some went Ifrom this section and there were a large ~Inumber from Lake City and the sur Irounding country. Th~e fields being white with cotton, and pickers scarce .kept a great many from going, but as it was the crowd was'lar'ge. and there was a plenty to eat. Governor Blease, who Sis a prominent Redman, and had just s. returned from the big convention of the j order was the orator of the day. The e governor was warmly received, the s. crowd wvas enthusiastic from start to finish. His address was devoted to the principles of the order, and those who s hear-d it say it was a magnificent speech. ct He also touched on his i-ecord as gove enor, explained some of the pardons that ahe had granted, and gave a r-unning ac gcount of his stewardship. The governor stated that he would be a candidate for re-election regardless of the opposition 5which might be brought against him, e that he has endeavored to do his duty in ta careful, a.t the same time a fearless to manner. He did not follow in the ruts b his predecessors always but hewed out his own course and if at times he shock l ed the public conscience it was because ethe public had become accustomed to a O milk and wvater- policy but when the tspresent administration is ended he felt esure of a strong vindication and endorse mient, from the people to whom he is re spiousible. Gover-nor liease's speech is said to have been captivating. and the egect of it was to have made for him friends of some who had her-etofore been re opposed to him. and who were pi-ejudie of ed against him from reading the daily ~newspaper that have been criticising his every act. The w-riter untended to Sbe at this picnic, but business prevent ed his going. it was his desir-e to hear dI the governor in order that he would of knowv whether or not he has been cor at rectly reported by the daily press.

TIMES EDITOR. Are the Courts a Farce? While we were at press last Wednes day the court was engaged with tb argument for a new trial in the case o the State against Willie Bethune, con victed and sentenced three times foi the murder of Mr. G. B. Mims. Sena tor Clifton represented the defendant, and we are told he made a splendie argument for his client but Judge Cope. could not. see it as does the distinguish ed attorney from Sumter, and thereforE refused the motion for a new trial and resentenced Bethune to hang on Nov ember 24th. Notice of appeal has beer given, should the appeal be perfecte it might have the effect of further de lay: it does strike us that this case has been shuttled-cocked.in the courts9ono enough, and those directly interested have been admirably patient and fore bearing. This is-the fourth time Bethune has been sentenced to die for the crime for which he was convicted, there should be a limit. The deiays in the courts is becoming a source of an noyance not to say expense to the tax payers, and they are getting awfu restless under this condition. It begins to appear that as long as lawyers can be secured, just so long will the action of the courts be delayed, and the tax pavers further burdened ivith expense. We would be the last to cry out for the life of the creature who is being held in suspense by the technical maneuver inz of the lawyers, but when will this case end? The poor devil is either guilty or innocent, several juries have said he is guilty and the judges have pronounced the penalty upon him four times. a long suffering family, and a patient public are wanting to know when the end will come.

She painted in alluring colors the ca reer of the little boy svho . studies his essons and gains the love and respect f his teachers. She went even further. She promised him that if he got good arks she would give him a whole ime all for his own Harry seemed impressed. That afternoon he returned from school fair dancing with joy. "O, mother," he shouted, "I got 100:" "Harrv:" cried the delighted mother She hugged him and kissed him and petted him and--gave him a dime. "'And what did you get 100 in?" she finally asked. "In two things," replied Harry with' out hesitation. "I got 40 in reading and 60 in spelling'." Not a Word of Scandal marred the call of a neighbor on Mrs. W. P. Spangh, of Manville.
