The town presented quite an ami mated appearance Saturday by the presence of a number of pretty school mar'ms. Mr, Morris Ness and bride returned to Manning Sunday night, after spend-. ing their bridal tour in Columbia and Charleston. - The merchants are beginning to feel the effects of the movement in cotton, trade is picking up, and they believe the worst is over. The merchant who crawls in his shell by withdrawing from the public does not gain anything. It is penny wise and pound foolish. Advertise. Manning has the pleasure of welcom-. ing the family of Mr. Frank Barron of Charleston, who have moved here. There is no place like home. EhFrank ? Mrs. J. S.

JI H. H ro. 177. - The Times editor left Monday morn ing for Columsa to be present Monday evening to arrange the selection of the Senate committees. The legislative session began yesterday, and the inaug uration of the new Governor will take place on the 19th inst The Cl'arendon legislative delegation met with the commissioners last Wed nesday for the purpose of getting in formation regarding the financial con dition of the county, and found the affairs in such shape that it will not be necessary to increase the tax levy. The county board of commissioners at their regular meetig last Wednes day awarded the county printing con tract for a period of two years to Tbe Maning Times at the same rate the work has been done by that newspaper for several years, to wit: 8125 a year. Th ere is a demand being made by a certain ciass oj large cotton growers for the repeal of the cotton acreage law, which in our opinion, is a mistake. Heretofore the cry has been "reduction of cotton acreage, and now that it has been required by statute, it is being opposed. Mt A. Abrams says that he is de lighted with his move into the Legg Building, next door the Home Bank and Trust Co. His business has picked up greatly and he is getting ready to go to market to buy in anticipation of the revival of trade. In the meantime he is selling at enticing prices and will make it to the advantage of buyers to visit his store now. Notwithstanding the efforts of the big warehousemnen the tobacco growers of Clarendon do not desire legislation which will force them to place their tobacco on the market in graded form. They believe, and with good reason, the agitation is solely in the interest of the large warehouses, and if a law is enacted to force grading it will have a tendency to drive out the competition from the smaller markets. The teachers' meeting will be held in the court house here next Saturday, instead of the graded school building. This chatige will be to the advantage of all the terchers, and should be noted An interesting, and instructive pro gram has t oen arranged. Besides the address of Supt. Edmunds, there will be many other matters to claim the at tention of the Association. The gen eral public is cordially invited to be present on that occasion. The exer cises of the day will begin at 110o'clock. Read Hirschmnann's Great Clearance Sale in this issue. Mr. Hlirschmann has a very large stock of dependable mer' chandise in ail lines, and he proposes to give to the public an opportunity to get the advantage of buying at start ling reduced prices. Read the prices he offers for nice up-to-date goods in his varied lines, then come prepared to make your purchases. The sale lasts 20 days, and it will pay you to get their early so that the best selections can be made. The cash is needed, and with a little money a whole lot of excellent1 goods can be bought. Attention is called to the superviser to the manner of road working in thi s county. Complaint is being made of the roads being worked during the wet sea son which causes the roads to become impassable. One ci' zen told us that after a rainy season when work cannot1 be done on the farm the hands are put on the roads and they do more har'm than good. He invited us to go with him across Ox Swamp to see what he terms a waste of timne and money.

He was one (of the men longest in railroad service in the country, ~having started as a surveyor in December, 1852, after his graduation from the Citadel. He had a very active part in the construc tion of the Charleston and Savannah, now a part of the Atlantic Coast Line, and other railroads of importance to Charleiton. It has been estimated that fiteen hundred people in Sumter have been influenced to change the current of their lives during tbe last four weeks of the pretracted meeting which has been going on. Fifteen hundred men, women and children who are ready to stand for the right added to the large number who were so inclined before, make a huge army who will stand at the back of our city fathers in the sup pression of all kinds of vice and immo rality in the town, and it appears that now is an opportune time for the better enforcement of laws looking to the bet terment of her citizens-Sumter Herald To The Women of Clarendon: We wish to broaden out in our work this year, and so I want to enroll a few women in each community as home demonstrators. We wish to teach these some forms of demonstration work that will lighten the labor in the homes, and thus explode the old ditty that "men work from sun to sun, but wom en's work is never done." I want to visit the homes of the demonstrators and show them how to make and use a fireless cooker, and other thitigs which I as demonstrator prove to them are to be desired. A t the end of one year I will ask each one for a r eport o~f what she has done. I hope that all who are willing to be enrolled as demonstrators will write me as soon as possible.

Vill endeavor t4 re me a trial, a Pharmacist Rev. B. F. McLendon Ended a Four Weeks Series of Services Wednesday Night - Much Good Accomplished. When it was advertised that Rev. B. F. McLerdon, who has held meetings -in several of the towns near Sumter, was to start a series of meetings here some of the people seemed rather dis posed to be antagonistic to his work, which was brought about to some ex tent by re ,rts of his sayings and do ings, whic , after they had attended some of his meeting, they found in some cases to be exagerated. Those who went to hear him wanted to hear him again, and went, until the spacious hall above the Express office was by far too small to accomodate them. It is true some of his sayings were irite and some of the language used was not like that which most people were accustomed to hear from the ~acred desk, but they soon found that he words he uttered were solemn ruths, which burned into the very learts of his hearers, and the earnest ess with which they were uttered comn elled the people to listen and ponder >ver their condition. Rev. McLendon has done a great !ork in Sumter. He has labored faith ully and well. He has been fearless n his exposition of the sacred word, lething his thought in plain words, hat brought thbe tears to many a face, .nd as his reward he has seen many >ersons who before the meetings did I lt understand nor care for religious Z >atters, announce before the assem led mulitudes that they were determ- r d to right-about-face and live a better fe. It has been estimated that fully c fteen hu'mded people have reformed v uring the. past four weeks. Among n b~is number were many whom none s oald have expected to take the stand p yr right that they have. 5 Last Sunday morning he occupied c: he pulpit of the Trinty Metho.iist ti burch, and took for his theme the sub- n ,ct of Repentance. l'here were about if 300 people in the audience who listen- ti i intently to his words, and at the a ose he was gratified to see many lti >me forward and by that say they 'e ould lead a better- life. d In the afternoon he spoke to a crowd i house at the Academy of Music, and li ere were none in the audience who oi yubted his attitude regarding this tv igantic evil under whose reign he bad h; one time been a willing subject. ti Rev. McLendon is vet a young man ti 'about 36 years. His childhood and d< >uth were spent in Bennettsville, Ias here he followed the occupations of ti erk and barber. H-e was at one time rf msdered one or the worst characters te i that section, living a wild dissipated is fe to about six years ago, when he set li: is face about and commenced living a nt odly life. Feeling himself called to tc I the good tidings he attended a the- fo ogical seminary about two years and or trwards took up the evangelistic w, ork. Wherever he has gone he has th ~en very successful in his chosen call- th and his friends hope he will be fo ared to a long life of usefulness. From re he goes to Philadelphia there he pc ill continue the work. The people of in rmter are exceedingly anxious that w< return later in the spring and hold w: other meeting along the same lines pa the one he has just closed for they w( el that he will be able to do a much pu ger wvork at his second visit than be an .s just ended.-Sumter Herald, 8th. th inj Baptist Church.

The Legislative Delegation met with tbe county Board of Commissioners on Jan. 6th. All the members of both the Delegation and Board were pres ent. 1 got in late and the business of the meeting seemed well under way. Af ter listening for a while I understood from a statement of the Supervisor in reply to a question from the Senator that, the county debt, exclusive of bonded debt, was only seventeen thous and dollars. Now we all remember that the auditing of the county's rec ords showed a twenty-one thousand two hundred and eighty two 21,282, dollar debt. Now if the 4 1-2 mill levy raised a sufficient sum to pay the running ex pense of the county and four thousand collars on the county debt, cutting it from twenty one thousand to seventeen-* thousand dollars as reported by the supervisor, then the same levy will in t very few years pay off the entire; lebt. This sounds good, but we know there s a mistake some where, for the 4 1-2 nill levy will not raise enough money, ines and licenses included, to run the ounty. We find as stated by the Supervisor bat the 1-2 mill levy to pay the inter at on and create a sinking fund to re ire the ten thousand dollar bonds fort ack indebtedness, will be no longer eeded for that purpose, because the en thousand dollars has already been uised to pay this aebt. I suggested that the three dollar ommutation tax be released to two: 'hich was agreed to, then I wanted to iake it optional, that is, either work. x days or pay the tax. - I tried to ex lain that it would be very difmcult for >me to raise the money but that they >uld do the work. On this proposi on I was by myself, all the other embers of the delega tion wanted to I irce all liable to road duty to pay the ex. I hope they will not hold to that hen they realize the hardness .of tbe < mes and the scarcity of money, which ridently they have failed thus far to >t Tbe next question before us I be- a eye was the tax assessment on taking 1 returns, this costs the county some I ~elve hundred dollars each year and s sa up to present proved a. failure in e at the township assesors failed to put s5 Le property on the tax books, so we 'cided to do away with the three 5's sessors in each township and go back | .e plan of letting the auditor take the turns. I am sorry to stop this sys- b m of taking returns, for I belier-e it 8: the ideal way to get the property h ~ted for taxation, the only change S eded is, to put one man in each I wnship, then he would be responsible e the whole township, favoring no .e on which to lay any blame, the L >rk would be more thoroughly done ~ an where there are three. Then too. ti is one man could be put under bond ? r thc faithful discharge of his duties. ' I was glad to learn that the rural D lice were turning in sufficient money fir.es to pay their salaries, so that w >rk comes to without any cost in the le .y of taxes. I wish the county news- t pers would secure and publish each b4 ek copies of the reports of the rural lice. That is done in other counties Fi d I think it should be done here so it the public might know what is be r done. ['he salary of the Clerk of the county - ard was raised from two to three ndred dollars per year, and properly for there is not only more work to done in the Supervisor's office but M people are more exacting. to Very respectfully, to Bob White. is se Jigars, To .r town and irsonal it rnd deliv: ad, with a 6, and yoni preciation lease you, VI BLOCK.
