FoREsroS, March 5.-Stealing seems
to be the order of the day just now.
Since the breaking of Mr.. J. A Mont
gomery's smoke-hcuse and the depot
at this place, Mr.. J. A. Montgomery
has been robbed of all his bedding,
cooking utensils, etc. A search war-
rant was issued yesterday against ce,-
tain parties suspected, and it is hoped
and believed that the guilty viii be
oyer;aken and brought to justice.
Our worthy Sheriff and Mr.. A. Levi:

purpose of giving an entertainment
on that night.
I ask YOU to use your influence III

orr correspondent at Gaf,ney City
writes us, under date of the 23th, as
follows in regard to tie matrimonial
busi less about which there has been
recently so much talk F.: Miss )I'::;le
is at this place at present. She stout
" denies that sheseve: has been mar
,ied to Mr. Nintz, and seems very in
djgnaut at tie report. She says she
has not seen Rev. Mr.. Carte: (who, it
is alleged, married herself aid Miatz)
ia ten years; aud that alihouCh M;ntz
and Carter may say she had married
Miutz, sill it is emphatieal?y rl' rue.
As 10 whether her tale be i;'ue or not,
it is not for me to say but she Ger,
tainly impresses one that she speaks
the Truth. She says DR.. Atkinson did
not want her to leave him, but she
would not do him the Injustice to live
with him willie such a report WAS
against her, or at least until she could
establish the untruthfulness of It.
This at least shows true woma7ly
spirit in her and it surely shows the
right kind Of feeling in DR.. Atkinson
to believe what she says
Since tie above was in type DR..
Atkinson has investigated the matter,
and is satisfied that Miss Little was
not married to Mintz. He has taken
her back to his home in Chester.

Caught a "ITilite Coon"

WALrEnBoRo, S. c., Feb. 24.-An
amusing incident is reported to us
from across the Edisto. Not many
days since Nh. D. Z. Howell discov-
cred that some one was in the habit
of stealing corn from his barn at
night. The building was an ordinary
pole structure and the ears of corn
we're being pulled through the cracks
by some petty thief. An idea oc-
Cured to Mr.. Howell that a good
strong "coon'' trap properly SET would
have the effect of persuading this
nightly visitor to work for corn IN
stead of stealing, so he at once put
his plan into operation. What must
have been his surprise, on visiting
the barn the following morning,
to find a white man dangling twixt
earth and heaven suspended from his
trap. The poor fellow had been
caught some time during the night
and had suffered untold agony III his
efforts to free himself from the en-
dearing embrace of the trap.-P'e<s.

ly.
Our town election for Intendent
and four wardens comes off on the
18th inst, and we anticipate a lively
time. The old board, I think, de-
clines reelection, leaving the field
open to other aspirants. I hear that
the man who holds all the other ofiic-
es except Intendent, wants that. He
is as great an aspirant for Office as D.
c. Corban was in Radical times.
He wants them ALL If no one else
comes out that the people want, there
will be a dark horse brought out on
the morning of election, as the people
think he has all that he is entitled to.
Opposition is the life Of trade.

News from Sumter.

Sumter, Feb. 24.-Last fall your
advertising agent visited Sumter il
the interest of The MANNING TINES
Very soon afterwards one entire sile
of your valuable journal was filled
with the advertisements Of Sumter
merchants We don't pretend to say
why it was, but it is nevertheless q fact
that Sumters Clarendon trade swelIed
to larger proportions in less than two
months afterwards, than it ever was
before, and her trade from that Sec
ton of country, we honestly believe,
was doubled during the last cotton
season. Indeed some of US learned
that it pays to advertise, and have not
the merchants of Manning learned it
too? Let's see. Who is it that is
now selling more goods than any other
merchant il Sumter? Where is it
that the people, from the most fash
ionable and fastidious down to the
little school girl, is rushing day by
day that they may make their selec-
tions from the largest and best ass ort-
ed stock of spring goods ever brought
to this market? Don't be surprised
when we tell you Mr.. +. Levi, the son
of Clarendons prince merchant, is the
nan, and Bogan's old stand on Main
Street in Sumter is tire place. Mr.
Levi met with warm reception here,
and he demonstrates an eye to bus,-
ness in employing Sumter clerks. II
respective If cost, he picked from Tie
numerous stores OF the city tue clerks
best calculated to handle each line Of
merchandise, and tie consequence Is,
his store is crowded from morning
till night with tie patrons OF lis en-
pIovees as we'll as lis friends from
Clarendon. Such lnen ale bouud to
succeed, and will prosper wherever
they go. Sumter looks for the old
Prince next, for he cannot content
himself to remain in as dull a town as
Manning must be now, since her en-
ergetic young men are leaving. Come
on, Sumter will receive all such men
with open arms, and give them bust
ness too. II.

Sensations in Cha. lesion.

CHARLESTON, March 3.-Tlis entire
community is much iucersed over a
most diabolical attempt to defraud
*sIhe United States Mutual Accident
Association" and the Traders and
Travellers Accident Company" of New
York, just unearthed by Pinkerton
detectives. Thomas Bond, son OF DR..
J. H. Pond, of this city, was the agent
of these two companies here. Altho
the agents are instructed to IN.
sure no negroes, in October last Bond
took risks for $4,000 III each company
on the life of mulatto man by the
name of Joseph B. Dudley. About a
week ago woman purporting to be
Mary Dudley, the wife of Jos. 3. Dud-
lev, turned over to Hon. Geo. Lamb
Buist, the two policies issued BY Bond
to Dudley, for collection, saying that
her husband was dead, and produced
the necessary documents to verify her
statement. The demand ior payment
followed, and the companies suspect
ing that something was wrong, dis
patched two detectives, one negro,
to ferret the matter out. They ascer-
tanned that the body of the man
claimed to have been Dudley was
that OF black negro, aud Cor
onor DeVeaux had it exhumed, sup
posing some innocent person had
been the victim of foul play. Upon
examination the corpse proved to be
that OF q Simon pure African, while
Jos. 3. Dudley is known to be a mu-
latto. Mary Dudley. and Bond, the
insurance agent, have shaken Charles
ton dust from their feet, and gone to
parts unknown. Dr. killoch testified
before the jury of inquest yesterday,
and stated that the disintewed body
had deep CASH on the back OF the
neck, which it is supposed caused the
death of the man. Tie negro detect
i've proved to be an expert stem
ographer, and tue coroner engaged
him to take the evidence OF the wit
nesses. At the close of Dr.. kinloch's
test monv the stenographer was taken
suddenly i'll, and the proceedings nee
essarily closed. Investigations were
resumed this morning with the detect
i've stenographer to his post. Should
lie find it to the interest of the insur-
ance companies to postpone the pro-
ceedings, of course he will have an
other attack at the opportune mo-
ment. I shall report the result to
Your next edition.

Their Business Booming.

Probably no one thing has caused such a
general revival of trade at Dinkins & Co.'S
Drug Store as their giving to their customers
so many free trial bottles of DR.. Kings
New Discovery for Consumption. Their
trade is simply enormous in this very val
liable article from the fact that it always
cures and never disappoints. Coughs.
Colds, Asthma, Bronchitis, Group. and all
throat and lung diseases quickly cnred.
You can test it before buying by getting a
trial bottle free, large size 81. Every bottle
warranted.
