THE 4TIMES received from Mr. M. FR. Brun son, one of the most successful farmers of the Davis Station section, a bloom with the statement that he has a plenty of them in his fields. With a full crop of cotton and to. bacco buyers on this market the com ing season there is no reason why Man Ding should not be a busy town this fall. Both the cotton and tobacco crops are promising. and every inducement will be made to cause activity here. We understand there is in contem plation in the very near future of a big dry goods sale being put on by one of our local merchants in order to further deplete his stock before he goes to mar ket to buy his fall goods. Watch out for this sale and get prepared to take advantage of it. Mr. W. W. Loog.

We were shown about 2,000 bushels of thrashed oats in the barn of Mr. F. C. Thomas which he made on his farm, near Manning, and it isasight worth be. holding. There is no reason why every farmer cannot do the same thing and thereby save bringing this product from the West. Thomas' grain barn looks like a pile of gold.

It will help to make this newspaper nore interesting if our friends throuzh ut the county would send to it guod ive news happenings in their commun 4ies.

It is reported xere that Martin's Lake has been sold osome private parties who will restrict he fishing so that there will not be the lseemlv slaughter which has been the mle of the past. It is not right to per nit persons to catch taore than they 2ave any need for, nor is it -ight to 'ermit . wanton destruction of the fish 4dynamite and traps. According to the Sumter correspon lent of the Columbia Record, the peo p1e of Sumter are not satisfied with the wreatment they are getting from the iouthwestern railroad. As one of the iducements to get the railroad to go into Sumter $42,000 was subscribed with the expectation that the road was going from that place direct to Charles on, but according to this correspon lent, Sumter is to be a terminal for a miort line of about twelve miles. Died at the home of her daughter, drs: D. M. Bradham, last night, Mrs. Millen I. Huggins, widow of the late G.

Report reached Manning this morn g that Bright Mack convicted at the ast term of court of murder with a ecommendation to mercy, was shot iown by the chaingang guards while isempting to escape. The gang is orking on the bridge near Midway. and when Macik refused to halt the tuard fired to stop him without hitting urn he paid no attention to this bus tept right on and he was then shot lown. A doctor was ;mmediately sent or, but we have not learned the extent >f his injuries. The Grim Reaper visited this town ast Wednesday night and placed his cy hand upon "Theodore," the eldest on of Mr. and Mrs. T. M. Mouzon. He ws in the eighth year of his age, an iceedingly bright and interesting boy, general favorite with young and old. [be death of this little fellow was felt n every home, and the community sIn :erely sympathize with the parents in heir grief. The funeral took place Iursday afternoon in the Manning :emeterv. Rev. G. P. Watson, pastor f the Methodist church conducted the ervice in the presence of a large con regation. The floreal offerings were nany and beautiful. The'town was visited last night by obbers who were evidently not ex >es. They broke into and entered he office of Robert A. White, and after nuilating his iron safe by knocking he knob and the ornaments on the inges off, without gaining an entr-ance nto is, they left without getting pay or their trouble. Some time during he night the stables of Mr. R. D. Clark as entered and a horse stolen. It is ur opinion these depredations were :ommitted by some of the loitering ang which infest this town, and'hang hout the eating shops usually. They ire never seen at work and their living Rust come somehow. The activity of the tobacco buyers ho are geting ready for the coming eason ind'cates a fine market for Man ing this year. The growers through >t the counsy will be able to dispose of heir product in Manning this season at in advantage because the buyers will os fail to recognize the competition of >ther markets, and they are going to nake the effort to have Manning second o none. We hope all of the farmers ho planted the yellow weed will en ourage this market by bringing their >roduct here. To have a good market s to the interest of the growers to do heir pars, and we feel sure if the Clar ndon farmers will stand by the ware ouses here it will be profitable so them. The government is gradually increas g the parcel post service, and from he 1st of July it will carry parcels U. ). D. There is no doubt the parcel post ystem is a great convenience to the ublic, bus if we can see aright the rovernment is lending its powerful aid o enrich the great department store orporations at she expense of the home r local merchant. If the service con ~inues increasing, that is to say, carry ng more weight and larger parcels, and oecting for these big concerns, the ittle merchant who bears the burden f taxation, and the expenses of the lo l government will be run out of busi ess. Is is our opinion, the government s going pretty strong with this post ystem, and, it is doing much towards :oncentrating the business of the coun try into hands of a few in the large cit es; it is giving its aid to accomplhsh for ae country merchant what the depart ment stores are accomplishin2 in the :ite-the breaking up of the small merchant for the benefitor corporations. We make the prediction, in the course af ten years the only business that wiAl be left for the local merchant is credit, rhile the Chicago and New York con srns will take all of the cash, and hereby cripple local industries, stores. banks, and anything else dependent pon local patronage.

Judge Gage granted a motion for a new trial in the %.-6e of Joe Hogan. convieted on thirty six counts for selling and storing liquor, on the ground the witnesses had not signed the testimony taken in the city court. Several other grounds were ar gued but the Judge dismissed all of them except the one alleging the wit nesses had not signed the testimony. Then in the case of T. B. Caugliman, charged with the killing of Constable Bateman, a motion was made to quash the indictment on the ground that some of the members of the registration board are not residents of the county, and one of the members of the board was not confirmed by the senate. The Judge re fused to order the indictment (uashed but he granted acontinuanceof the case until the next term of the court. HOME BRANCH.

The fiuest coasting hill in the world Is at St. Moritz. in Switzerland. The hill Is a mile long, and to coast down It takes, on an average, sixty-seven seconds The Cresta course. as It is called. is kt-ed and runs between snow banks. its turns are dangerous, and only skilled coasters venture on it. They use the American fiat toboggan. lying on the stomach and steering not with the feet. but with lifts and jerks of the body. A few seconds from the start on this course the coaster is go. ing at a speed of twenty miles an hour. This speed soon Increases to forty miles. Faster and faster he files. swooping down the precipitous Church leap at the speed of an express train. and then on to the long, straight Shut tlecock run. To fifty, to sixty, to sev enty to eIghty miles an hour the pace grows till it is like 4the flight of the swiftest bird through a blinding blur of snow. Yet the speed still increases. and at the end of the Shuttlecock eighty-seven miles an hour is register ed. Tihese Cresta course speeds are not problematical. They are the ac curate timings of an electric clock. Say the Kind Word Now.

At Monterossa, near Spezia, Italy. there Is an architectural curiosity, a gigantic figure of Neptune, construct ed of cement and used to support the extreme end of a terrace for a seaside villa. The house is the Villa Pastine. says the Wide World Magazine. and the statue is the work of the SIgnor Arrige Minerbi. a talented sculptor of Rome.

The body. which, like the head. is built of re enforcecd cement. Is hollow and coni tains a spiral staircase.
