A BANK FOR MANNING.

Manning needs and is now in a fair
way of having bank. Capt. Levi a
few days ago took subscription pa
per around with him, and in a very
Short time he had nearly $4,000 sub
scribed. Twice that sum will be cap
ital enough to begin on. The bank is
an assured fact, and will be in opera
ton in time for the cotton trade next
fall. The following from the Charles
ton World of yesterday viii be of in
teresS in this mater:
Captain A. Levi. q prominent lawyer Of
Manning, was registered at the Charleston
Hotel last night Cartiiin Levi is in the
city partly on private business, and partly
5or the purpose of looking after the interests
,of me bank heis seeking to establish at
Manning.
He was seen last night by q WW7d report
.er, to whom be spoke quite freely about the
5rospects Of the proposed new bank, and
aos the prospects of the growing county-seat
-of Clarendon generally.
ave are pushing right ahead tc organize
ishe bank, said the Captain in response to a
query, tsan6.our prospects are Just as fine
as we could wish. Although we have been
working is up for bat short time, nearly
oae-haE of the stock has already been sub
scribed by the citizens of Manning, and we
ore working for other and larger subscrip-
tons from the monied men of the country
at large. We have not tried to dispose Of
any Of the stock in Charleston yet, although
have no doubt there are large number of
capitalists here who would take big blocks
of the stock without hesitation, and be glad
10 get IL. Manning is live, growing town,
and needs bank now more than anything
else, and it would be an institution that
would pay handsomely. We are anxious,
however, to keep the controlling interest at
home, and consequently are trying to get
considerably more than half Of the stock
saken ct Manning and in Clarendon county
before seeking subscribers abroad.
AT present" he continued. "the mer-
chants of Manning and the farmers of the
whole county ere compelled to ship all their
cotton 70 Charleston, which is the only mar
ket they have, as they have only one rail
soad, that one leading to this city. But if We
had bank at the county seat. it would at
tract cotton buyers, who could afford to set
Tie in the town, bringing will them reviv-
al Of trade, and helping US very much in q
number of other ways. Atpresent Charles
ton and Sumter get very nearly all the trade
of the county, either directly or indirectly,
but with a bank We could centralize it the
court house, and the result would be that
Manning would take start IN growth that
she has not known for years"

The Horny Advertiser has suspended pub
lication. It was not established ito supply

The Greenwood atlas has also suspended,

to be al improbable enterprise" We
would be glad to shed few tears over the
demise of these papers, but our fountain is

born without q mission, and never becam e
old enough to find one for themselves.
They sprang into existence without pros

Monthly Pay Roll-Raises His own
Corn.
Clarendon county contains proba-
bly, more lumber mills than any other
county in the State, and no mills in
the State are better equipped with
frst-class machine cry. One of the
largest is that of D. ". Alderman &
Co., situated about four miles north
Of Manning, on the Central railroad.
Alcolu is new post Office, and con-
tains history in It's name. The three
syllables, Al CoLu, are respectively
the first sylla5les in Alderman, Col
we'll and Lula Messrs. Alderman and
Colwell are the proprietors OF the
mill, and the christian name OF the
wife of each is Lula. Alcolu is mail
and telegraph Office. The express Of
fee for that mill is Manning.
-Four engines are employed a. the
mill to run the machinery. Two saw
mills and planning machine are kept
bnsy all the time. Mr.. Alderman
claims that his planning machine is tie
best 10 the State. A fooring-board
machine, specially adapted for max
ing flooring, ceiling, wainscoting, and
weather-boarding, is kept busy all the
time to fiji orders from the North.
MIR. Alderman is the pioneer in dry
kilns, and has three at his mill. These
kilns thoroughly dry and season the
lumber, by means of a continual blast
of hot air. His own mill does not
furnish enough lumber for his dry
Eilns and planning machines, so that
he gets large quantity of lumber
from neighborins mills to keep these
machines going.
An iron railroad ten miles long, on
which run two locomotives, is used
for hauling the timber to the mill.
Thirty-seven mules are Kept in the
woods, hauling the timber to the rail-
road. About one hundred persons
are employed around and about the
mill. The monthly expenses are
about S25O0 to $4,000. Nh Alderman
runs commissary in connection with
the mill, but, in addition to what he
takes in, at least $1,000 cash is paid
the hands at the end of every month,
which finds it way to Manning and
Sumter.

BAD BRIDGES AND ROADS.
County Commissioner Way not to Blame
for the Condition Of Pocotaligo Bridges.
PASoLA, S. c., March 1G, 1889.

L ANOLA, >. ", N1aICu lO, lOOU.
Mr.. ED1roE:-I have carefully read
your article headed "Only a Mule"
The article is timely and suggestive,
It points directly to the county COM
missiouers. I admire your frank,
bold criticisms. 1t ought to do good.
I regret the damage to Mr.. Higgins,
deplore the loss to Mr.. Sprott. But
who is to blame? You say the s'coun-
ty commissioners" But are all of
them to be censured9 1t is the duty
of the people to hold strictly to ac-
count their public officers. It is
furthermore the duty of the press to
call attention to evil, and warn the
people of any approaching danger.
-! this is right and proper in its
place, but is there not more or less
danger Of producing prejudice in the
minds Of individuals, even when an
officer does all he can, as he may think
best for the public good.
In speaking of the recent damage
done to Mr. Sprott you state your
proposition very forcibly: "The
county commissioners possibly can
answer why poor horses must endure
such cruelty, and the peoples prop
erty be put in such jeopardy" only
propose to answer for myself indi-
vidually.
At an early meeting Of the board the
county was divided into three sections,
each commissioner having so many
townships. The townships that fell to
my care and supervision are as follows:
Concord, St. Pauls, Friendship.
Calvary, Fulton, and Sammy Swamp
north and west of running stream.
This embraces my work with road and
bridge duty. I have nothing to do
with roads and bridges beyond this
line Of duty. While I regret any ac-
cidents which may cause the damage
of horse Or mule on the public high,
ways, and the necessary loss ii money
to the county aecruing from neglect,
ut the same time I do not think it
just and right to give such publicity
as would include the whole board.
The first thing on assuming the du-
ties OF the Office elected to by such a
complimentary vote of the people Of
Clarendon, was to see that the bridges
embraced in my townships were safe
and secure | took an experienced
contractor and examined them care
fully. Where l found work needed,
contracts were given out, and repairs
made promptly. You can travel here
day or night, with perfect security to
property, and without the danger of
loss of lfe. Even with all the dill.
gence and care, trouble sometimes
come, and I do not think the county
commissioners should be blamed for
everything, things gsimpossible for them
to foresee. Criminal neglect is mex
cnsable. Was this damage and loss
of mule of such a nature? If so I
have no more to say. But let the
responsibility rest where it belongs.
AS to the public roads there is much
unnecessary clamor. The condition
of the roads are bad, will admit.
They are in bad condition through
out my townships, the worst I ever
saw. But who can suggest a remedy?
It rains necessarily. No work can be
done, for the water covers the whole
face Of the earth. We hope for bet
ter thirgs.-to give the people good
roads. T. Il WAY.

THE ORPHANS HOME.

of the Orphans Home at Macon,
Ca, Writes Letter Dated


Ga., Writes Letter Dated
February 5th, 1889.
II have been using Swift's Specific
with the children of the orphans
home under my charge with the best
results I began its use between
nine and ten years ago, and have seen
many remarkable results.
Quite number of the children
had constitutional blood diseases re-
sulting from the sins of their parents
and every one of these children were
cured of the horrible taint by the use
of S. S. S.
There have also been scores of chill
dren in the institution whose systems
Uhey have been mostly without the
benefits of parental carey were ener-
waited by dirt eating and other foul
practices. Every one of these chill
dren have taken S. S. S. and all have
been signally benefited by it. All
have been cured who have taken
enough of it. We have also two in
mates of tile home, subject to painful
recurring attacks of erysipelas.
Neither one improved under the
treatment usual for the disease.
When all other medicines were dis
carded and they took S. s. S. the cue
in each case was quick and perma-
nent, for they have been we'll for five
wears and there has been no return
of the disease. I could tell much
more of the remarkable cures Of
blood disease by S. S. S., for I have
seen it used and know its value.

days in the week. something which he
thought needed attention.
The liberal ministers met yesterday
morning in Dr.. Simmons study. The
meeting was more social than other
wise. and the talk drifted off into sec
tarianism in medicine as compared with
SectaTianism in religion. There will be
another meeting in two weeks, when

GOODNESS of the winters made it neces-
sary to build houses as small as the re-
quirements of the family would admit.
Bishop Walkers time extended to l
o'clock. when the board took recess
for an hour. AT the afternoon session,
Bishop Clarke. of Rhode Island, pre-
sided. The first speaker was the Rev.
Robert Shaw Locke, who for the past
fifteen years has been missionary IN
China. He said that the only hope OF
converting the Chinese, the Japanese,
or the natives of India, was by having
native missionaries. To think of con-
yerting China by means of one bishop
and five missionaries was absurd. The
next speaker was eOlored man, Rev.
Paulus Mort, of Cape Palmas, Africa.
he suggested that the United States
should
SUBSIDIZE A LINE OF STEAMERS
to Liberia. This he urged would benefit
the commercial interests of the United
States and benefit the interests of the
church in Africa. Christianity. he
said. was a practical question. and it
should be found in commerce, in trade,
in politics, as we'll as in religion. He
concluded by asking that Sl50,00O be
given TO the Liberian mission to build
churches and schools. and sustain mis-
sionaries. Missionary Bishop Talbot,
of Wyoming and Idaho. spoke of the
work progressing in his diocese.
and said of its needs, both in
money and men. AT the conclu-
sion of Bishop Talbot'S address
Rev. Or. Beattle, of Kansas
moved that the Board of Missions adj
lOurn. as a token of respect 10 the MEM
DRY of Bishop Vail, of Kansas, who
died yesterday at Bryn Mawr, Pa,
while on his way TO the convention.
Before the motion was adopted 1t was
resolved that resolutions of regret for
the death of Bishop Vail should be
adopted, and that deputatiOn should

PHASES OF LIFE.

Now is the time that the rental agent
gets in his work. Nearly as many peo-
pie seem to be moving as in the spring
time. A prominent agent in speaking
of his business said: ut is enough TO
drive man crazy to attempt to satisfy
the wants of some people. Every one
wants good, warm house, all modern
improvements, either within short
walking distance of their bust
ness or convenient TO street car
lines, and It must be very
low rent" All of the agents are not
like this particular one, as several
prominent agencies look upon CUSTOM
els as beneath their notice. and rest
satisfied with presenting the applicants
with list and leave them to wrestle
with the problem. The wife of q we'll
known gentleman, VINO has secured
the city for the past week
in search OF a house with
all the comforts oDtainable. was
the heroine Of an accident on Washing
ton avenue one day last week. She had
Just started with an agent IN search of
pastures new when the carriage got
mixed up with divers street car tracks,
with the result that one OF the hind
wheels parted from Its mates, and the
occupants Of the carriage got so mixed
up in ten seconds that a divorce suit is
liable to ensue. The horse knew
his business. though, and after
taking a birds eye view, quietly
stopped and went TO sleep. A large
crowd assembled and quickly helped the
lady cut OF the wreck, VINO coolly walked
