Everybody withii reach of Manning is earnestly invite( to attend. News reached here last night tha Capt. I. I.

It was known tha he bad a stomach ailment and was it the infirmary, but it was notconsiderec seriuors. Mrs. Bagnal took an earl3 morning train at Sumter this mornins and is now in Florence. About 8:20 this morning we heard that he had ralliec and was some better. An announcement of interest to their many friends in Manning and Sumter is that of the engagement of Miss Lucile Iseman of Manning to Mr. W. Graham Moses of Sumter. Mr. Moses is a well known young business man o Sumter president of the firm of Geo. D. Shore and Bro., and Miss Iseman is a popular member of Manning society She has often visited in this city and has numerous friends here.-Sumter Item of Monday 25th. The news of the death of Mrs. Evandar G. Stukes at Davis Station last Sunday was received in Manning with deep regret. Mrs. Stukes was formerly Miss Placedla Shorter, and at one time before her marriage held a position with D. Hirschmann. where she developed fine business ability, and was popular with those she came in contact with. This community sin cerely sympathizes with the grieved husband and the four little children. Evangelist B. F. McLendon is soon to come to Manning to conduct a series of meetings. We have never heard Mr. McLendon, but from his reputation we believe be will do a great deal of good here. His work at Pinewood, from all accounts, is little abort of wonderful, and while Manning and its surround ings is far ahead of many places moral ly. yet there is always room to be bet ter, and we feel sure those who would like to see this community as good as the best will give every encourage ment to Mr. McLendon by atteniing his meetings. The canning clubs of this county will soon have a rally to determine two young ladies who will be sent to Rock Hill to take advantage of the special course that will be given at Winthrop college. The expenses of the young ladies will probably be not less than 20eacb, and Miss Richardson is some what worried fearing the expense though small, may prevent some from vigorously contesting for. the honor: The Times editor assured Miss Rich ardson Monday she need have n,, fear on that score, the young ladies can throw their whole vim into. their en terprise, and the successful contestants will have their expenses paid by the patriotic and public spirited citizens. As a token of the faith we have in our people encouraging a worthy under taking The Times editor will assume the responsibility of raising a sufficient sum to defray the expenses of two young ladies to represent Clarendon county at Rock Hill. 3moddabmm The following invitation has been issued for ~an event in which this and other parts of the State is Interested Dr. and Mrs. Warren Muidrow Brock inton request the pleasure of your company at the wedding reception of their daughter, Mary Louiser and Mr. James' Warren Wideman, on the evening of Thursday the eleventh of June, from six until ball after seven o'lock at their home,.

The Turbeville traded school closed the year's work last Friday. The com mencement exercises began Friday evening with a play, "The Hidden Treasures," by eight of the larger Saturday morning the annual lit erary address was delivered by Thos. G. McLeod of Bishopville. The speaker spoke along the lines of prac tical education, calling attention to the progress that has been made during the past few years and dwelling at length on the cost of ignorance. The Rev. Walter I Herbert of Sum ter preached the commencement ser mon Sunday morning, using as his text the following words: '"So this Daniel prospered." He spoke of the early decision made by Daniel'-his absolute faith in God and his faithfulness to God. The past session has been a very successful one. The enrollment has reached 143, the largest in the history of the school. The present corps ol teachers, consisting of Geo. W. Green, principal, and Misses Aurelia May and Sallie Jones, assistants, has been re elected. The trustees expect to add the fourth teacher for the coming year. The County to be Sued.

I. TILL. - There can be no better proof of the culture and refinement of a nation than its taste for a fine quality -of music. In the more thickly populated cities and towns, these features are prominently discernible. The axe and the plough have had their day and done their work so far as cities are concerned. The gloom of t~je forest has given way to magnificient cities, with substantial and imposing structures, well paved streets to industry, commerce, educa tilon and refinement. The leisure and opportunities which wealth affords, have offered opportunities to the sons and daughters of our common inhabi tants for the acquisition of those branches of learning of the higher kind, giving scope to the cultivation of native talent that would have other wise remained dormant or lost. Music while it is said to "Soothe the savage breast" is elevating and refining In its tendency and therefore the finer the music, the more beneficial must be its effects. The City of Sumter and South Carolina in particular is deservedly en titled to the distinction of being re fined, as is evidenced among other things, by its music establishments, and suffice it to confine ourselves to the best in this article namely the estab lishment of Mr. S. I. Till, which is eligibly located at No. 23 West Liberty St. This business was established in 1911, and has ever held a high reputa tion througbout the state, and the counties of Sumter, Ciarendon, Lee, Orangeburg, Calhoun and Florence. The premises occupied for the business are very extensive, being 26x80 feet in dimensions. These are magnificently fitted up in consonance with their pur pose of being a temple of music. A large and fine assortment of pianos, self-plaving pianos and organs is at all times oni hand, Mr. Till handling the celebrated pianos of the Hallett &. Davis, which is Boston's leading piano and has been for 75 years. It is the only high grade piano being sold direct from the factory to the home at factory prices on convenient terms. It is used in more than 50 of the leading musical colleges in America. Mr. Till makes a specialty of the "Virtuolo"-it is the new instinctive player-piano that does not produce mechanical music. ~ Hear it. Compare it, try it, 30 days in your home free; and the organs of Shipmnan, of High point, N. C. He also has a complete stock of sheet music.. Mr. Till carries one of the largest music trades in Eastern South Carolina and it will be seen from the list of pianos, player-pianos and organs which he handles that he only deals in first-class goods, and same is to be said of every department. Mr. Till is a native of Orangeburg county, a member of the K. of P. and is an energetic business man, who has a thorough knowledge of the instruments in which he deals, is widely popular and i.s eminently quali fied to carry on a business of this kind, and is proved by his singular success.

Summertoa, May 24-The entertain ments usually attendant upon the closing exercises of a high school have begun here. On Friday evening last at the home of Mr. and Mrs. O. C. Scarborough the members of the grad uating class of the Summerton high school, consisting of Misses Noddie Briggs, Edna Davis, Helena Fischer, Martha Walker. Tiny Rogan and Joseph Cantey and Rodgers Mood, were tendered a reception by the ninth grade. Decorations of garnet and gold, the class colors, were used in the front parlors and reception hall, and the punch bowl which stood in the rear of the hall was lovely in its profu sion of roses and daisies. One of the chief features of the evening was the number of excellent toasts given. Music was rendered at intervals during the evening, as the 60 odd guests min gled together in conversation, except when interrupted to take part in a few amusing contests prepared for the oc casion. Besides the members of the graduating class and the ninth grade, consisting.of Misses Virginia Nelson, Vivian Eadon, Fl.sie Martin and Pressley Brailsford, Lonnie Carrigan, Earnest Walker and Henry Felder, there were present other guests from in and out of Summerton, several hav ing come over from Pinewood and St. Paul. The ninth grade proved itself an admirable host and the evening was most pleasantly spent Complimentary to Miss Noddie Briggs, who has the honor of being president of the graduating class, Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Richardson gave a dance Thursday. evening. Numbered among their guests were visitors from ummerton, Pinewood, Manning and Sumter.

De Quinoey's habits were so simple as to be almost ascetic, and he subsist ed upon the lightest possible diet. His digestive trouble and neuralgic suffer ing, which first led to his taking opium, caused him early to lose his teeth, and from the extreme delicacy of his system he could eat nothing less capa ble of mastication than bread, so that article with a little soup or coffee was apt to comprise his whole dinner. In reference to his manner of dress his daughter has said: "His dress, unfortunately, he neither cared for himself, nor would he let others care for it. I say unfortunately, because his carelessness gave rise among punctilious people, unaccustom ed to eccentric habits, to an impres sion of poverty for which there was no foundation. It might be that a thought occurred to him in the midst of some of his irregular processes of dressing or undressing (I should say some thought did generally strike him at that time), and he would stop with his coat just taken off, or not put on, with out stockings at all, or with one off and one on, and becoming lost In what grew out of this thought, he would work for hours, hardly even noticing the coffee which was his- chief support at such times. "in the midst of this absorbing work would arrive visitors, of whom there were many. probably from such a dis tance that they could not be turned back without sight of the object of their long pugrinmage, upon which my father, with the unaffected courtesy which was one of the great charms of his character. would appear at once rather than keep them waiting while he put on his stocking, or whatever may be wanting or which was just likely in the wrong place. giving rise to awed impressions of poverty with some, while those who could withdraw their unaccustomed eyes from the na kedness of the land, as exspounded by his feet, might have seen In his sur roundings signs of scrupulous neat ness, sufficent comfort and refinement enough to reassure them on this point. "His presence at home was the sig nl for a crowd of beggars, among whom, borrowed babies and drunken old women were sure of the largest share of the sympathy he refused to none." - From Carolne Ticknor's "Hawthorne and His Publisher." PRONOUNCING ENGLISH. Going Astray on the Correct Use of "u" and "ow" Sounds. A curious feature of the English lan guge as It Is spoken in this part of the United States Is the prevalence of a dual system of pronunciation. The dictionaries tell us unequivocally that we should pronounce "dew," "knew" and "stew" as we do "few," and that "student," "stupid" and similar words should be enunciated as If they were spelled "stiendent" and "stiupid." Nobody, apparently, disputes the cor rectness of this manner of pronounc ing "ii" and "ew"--yet here is a rule very much more honored in the breach than In the observance. Except for stage folks, the faculties and some of the students of schools and .colleges and a few persons who make a point of precise spaking, the academic sound of "u" is disregarded almost univer sally. It is by no means through ignorance that people say "stoo" and "stoopid." There are worthy persons who seem to feel that a good American really ought to say "stoo" and "stoopid." They think, apparently, that the ortho dox "u" and "ew" are Anglicisms and are used in this country only by per sons pedantic or "affected." Of course, for all practical purposes one way of pronouncing is as good as another and usage has made both forms correct. Nevertheless, the right use of "u" and "ew" adds musIc and variety to the English language, and the younger generation might do well to pronounce according to the diction ary and gradually overcome an "Amer ianism" that has no real good excuse for being.-Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. Spoiled Musicians. Rubinstein disapproved of marriage for musicins. Just before his death he spoke sadly of his. Russian lady pupils. "What have I wasted all my time on them for?" he asked irritably. "Every one married! It's too provok g! Here they are, spoiled forever for art life. What did they study for?' The London Musical World remarks that "thosc who ask why we have no great lady composers may be left -to think of these things." A Narrow Range of Choioe.
