To Delinquent Subscribers.

From business principles and
from past experience in the news
paper business, we are fully con-
vinced that the indiscriminate
credit system is very pernicious
in its effects. The MANNING TINES
will consequently, after July 4th,
be run. on cash basis, or very
short credit. On July 9Th, 1889,
unless satisfactory arrangements
have been previously made, the
names of all subscribers who are
in arrears as far back as March l,
1883, will be stricken from our
list. We have about a hundred
such names, and while we dislike
very much the idea Of losing so
many subscribers, yet we had
rather lose them than run the risk
of losing three or four times as
many hundred dollars. If the
TINES is worth anything it is
worth $50 a year; and any per-
son who during the years time
cannot pay this small sum had
best not take the paper at all.
We are endeavoring to publish
a good, readable, lively paper. If
YOU think we are worthy of being
sustained in our effort, pay us the
small sum you owe us; if not, we
shall be compelled to discontinue
the paper to your address after
July 18th.
After July 4th, 1889, all sub
scribers to The MANNING TINES,
who are in arrears for more than
sixteen months ($2) will cease to
receive the TINES. Don't you
think it would be fair and just to
pay us this balance now, when we
need it so much?

The physician who held the autopsy says
life could not have lasted 60 seconds after
the artery was severed There was . closet
in the Office beneath q staircase the floor Of
which was ripped up. 1t was whitewashed
over head. A pit 6 or 8 feet long and about
Is inches deep was freshly dug in this clos
ct with spade in it stained with blood.
Tracks were in the pit. Pieces of the floor
ing which were ripped up had stains OF
blood on them. A damp towel stained also
with blood, was found on washssand be-
hind basin, in o rubbish room adjoining
the Office. The physician thought there
was m effort made to wash away the blood
from Dawson's face and shirt-front. Stains
of blood were on the little closet door and
door posts The door to the closet was
nailed up with small nails and had to be
forced open. Dawson's shoes had white
wash on them. Money, lead pencils, pa
pers. private letters. andt,'o 'otfcial reports"
signed by Sergt Dunn of the police force,
were taken from his pockets and read by
the coroner. The defense gave notice that
the State would be required to produce
these "oficial reports" and the courtadjourn-
ed until 10 A NJ tomorrow. The jury were
discharged and allowed to comingle with
the populace, as is usual when counsel
do not object, but not until they are warn
ed by the judge to talk about the case with
noone. 4.

FIVE coaches going to Columbia from VIII
mincton, n. C. The railroad company are

along. Some one hurriedly sign ed 1t down
The fireman jumped from the engine, but
the engineer stuck to his post and stopped
the train just eighteen feet from the open
draw, aad these five coaches with their load
of human freight would have been run into
the river and terrible indeed would have
been the loss Of life.-Sumte' Hdtc'Hndn.

Every subscriber to the TINES, who
fails to pay up or to make proper ar

Killed by Jumping off The Train.

COLUMBIA, June 22--Two negroes this
morning jumped off a moving freight train
when it was about two miles below Eastorer.
1t appears that they had heard that they
were both to be arrested at Sumter upon the
arrival of their train, and to escape arrest
they jumped of the train while in motion.
One of the negroes, the elder OF the two,
was instantly killed, while the other, who
YVES boy. is sreported as being severely in
jured, having broken his arm and received,
probably internal injuries. Trial Justice
Taylor is holding the inquest to-day.

How They Paw.

Some post Offices pay up much bet
ter than others. For instance we take
six of the largest post Offices IN the
county, namely, Foreston, Jordan,
.Summerton, Pamela, Packsville, and
Fulton, and we find that at Foreston
all have paid up in advance, except 5
persons, white men and 8 colored
men. At Jordan there are 13 IN ar
resrs, namely, 10 white men and 3
colored. At Summerton there are 26
in arrears, namely, 20 white men and
6 colored. AtPanola there are 6 white
men in arrears. AtPacksville there are
20 in arrears, namely, Is white per-
sons and 5 colored men. At Fulton
there are II deliuquents, namely, 5
white men, and 6 colored. Thus at
these six post Offices we see there are
eighty-one persons in arrears. If they
would each pay up it would help us
to the amount OF more than 5000.
How many will pay up before next
week? We are in need OF every cent
of it to pay for our press. At least
half of these eighty-one are so far in
arrears that if they do not pay before
July 4th, we shall be compelled to
| stop sending the TINES to them: Pay
mp, and get your names on the HON
! OR ROLL. We need every cent we
can possibly collect. Help US, and we
promise our best efforts to publish a
readable paper.
What about Manning? It is in the
soup too. There are 4S Manning sub
scribers in arrears, namely, 43 whites
and 5 colored.
Gentlemen, pay up; get ticket for
the drawing, and your name on the
HONOR ROLL. Only one more week

EDUCATTONAL CENTRE.

Very soon the place became thick
ly settled and the site of a fourislllng
school under the principal care Of the
late r. H Rutledge, who was succeed
ed bv other feathers, until, under the
management of the Rev. Nh. Thomas,
Methodist minister from Canada, it
grew into an academy with three reg
ular teachers and over one hundred
students Such was the sanitary con-
dition of the location, together with
the moral character OF the community
of Summerton proper, that parents
and guardians from the whole sur
rounding country were pleased to
have their children under such favor
able influence.
But the civil war with its terrible
agencies and results gave to oSummer-
ton and surrounding country a
shock, from the effects of which she
has never but partially recovered.
During the wal, however, many of
the best people from Charleston
sought and found a quiet and peace
ful refuge in Summerton, and remain-
ed there for some length Of time.
Since the war, the school has never
regained its former size or prosperity.
During the past eight years we have
had some very efficient teachers, but
the financial condition Of our patrons
is so reduced that we find it impossible
to employ a full corps of teachers,
and consequently must yield to the
stern necessity OF stopping our chill
dren short of regular literary or
classical course.

JoHSsTowS, Pa, June 22.-All the local
physicians met accidentally at the Bedford
Street hospital last night. They represent
ed all parts of the stricken city, and after
discussing the calamity joined III the con-
clusion that not less than ten thousand peo-
pie were lost in the flood. On account OF
the general knowledge OF the people pos
sessed by the physicians, this estimate IS
looked upon as reliable.

In 1861 it took just one bushel of
corn to buy one pound OF nails, now
one bushel of corn will buy ten
pounds of nails. Then it required
sixty-four bushels Of barley to buy
one yard of broadcloth, now the same
amount of barley will pay for twenty
Yards of broadcloth. It then re-
quired the price of one bushel OF
wheat to buy one yard of calico, now
one bushel Of wheat will buy twenty
wards Of calico.
