existed between the white and colored peo-
pie Of this community that anything like

BEAUTY SAVED HER.
4 Case Something Like Mrs. Maybrick'S.
Except the Ending-Story 0fthe Charge
against Mrs. Norris, Whose Lawyers
Set Up No Defense Whatever.

RALEIGH, n. C., Jan. 27.--rhe trial OF
Mrs. Cora Scale: Morris for the murder Of
her husband last August, which has been
in progress =. Wentworth, in Rockingham
county, several days, ended to-day in the
acquittal of the accnsed.
The case has attracted scarcely less inter
est throughout the State than the Maybrick
and KniAin cases. Mrs. Morris is niece
of ex-Gov. Scales. and is a young woman of
unusual beauty. Mr.. and Mrs. Morris re-
sided at Reidsrille, aud had been married
only about eight months at the time of his
death. They did not live happily.
Tie fact came out during the trial that
Mrs Morris, few days before her hus-
bands death, bought two on ices Of chloro-
form from = druggist in Reidsville. Two
weeks before Mr.. Morris's death, his wife
proposed tn,rrss trs lie will her all his property
and insure his life in her favor for $4,000
So desirous Was Mr.. Morris of winning her
affections that he acceded. The will was
executed and the policy for $4,000 taken
out with the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance
Company, of Newark, n. J.
On the morning of the death of Mr.. Nor
ris an empty chloroforn bottle was found
in his room, and also handkerchief satu-
rated with it. Strong evidence was given
against the accused, and the defense offered
no evidence whatever.
There was general conviction, however,
that a verdict Of mot guilty" would be
brought Argument was closed to-day at
noon, and the jury was only out five min
utes and brought in a verdict OF mot
guilty"
Mrs Morris was perfectly calm and com
posed, and seemed to expect the verdict to
be what it was. General qualification at the
result is reported to exist at Reidsville.

Our Charleston Advertisers.

The MANNING TINES is one Of the very
best printed papers in the State. Its adver-
tisements are tastefully set, attractive, easily
| read, and are read by almost everybody in
the county. The best and most enterpris-
ing and progressive advertisers see this
great advantage, and as a natural result the
TINES contains the advertisements of the
leading business houses that desire the all
year-around trade of Clarendon. If our
! read. d.rs will, in trading with these houses,
remember to mention the fact that they saw
their advertisement in the TINES it would
be doing US a valuable favor. But most
people never think Of this. 1t would help
US. and CRAFTY the advertiser.
Last week we mentioned several promi-
nent Charleston houses, and this week call
attention to the following sterling Charles
ton firms:
Just now everybody is making arrange
ments for the year, and few firms are more
popular in Clarendon than that staunch old
house, Smyth & Adger. They have very
large capital invested, and, as far as We
know, have given satisfaction to our people.
They wish to increase their trade in Clar-
endon, and will offer as great inducements
as any house in the city. BY all means
give them chance.
a very popular house with our people is
that firm OF young and enterprising whole
sale grocers. John F. Werner Il Co. They
sell all kinds Of choice family groceries and
claim that they cannot be undersold. They
already have good trade in this county,
but desire to increase it. Give them a
showing.
Another first class grocery house IS {.
Wulbern Il Co. They make specially Of
-four This house is firmly established, has
a good patronage in this county, ana have
made a reputation of which they may well
feel proud.
Guanos are necessary to make big crops,
and the Wilcox j. Gibbs Guano Co. manu-
facture and deal in q number of high grade
fertilizers. They will quote low prices. BE
sure to get their prices.
But dry goods must also be bought, and
johnson, Crews, l. Co., is one of the Oldest
wholesale houses in Charleston They
wish the trade of our merchants, and Of our
large farmers who buy dry goods by the
wholesale.
In jewelry, Darlington. Thomas, & Co.
will be found an excellent house to deal
with. An old house with fine business
and very large stock of jewelry,
silverware, fancy goods, etc, customers may
rest assured of fair treatment at their
hands

WEDNESDAY, January 2s, 1890.
BRIGHT OUTLOOK.

If we are any Judge of the signs OF
the times, Manning is about to begin
new lease on prosperity, and the
deadness that has prevailed for some
time will be a thing of the past. Pro
gress and enterprise have for some
time been in the distant background,
but for the past few months things
have been Frightening up, and now
the prospect for success and prosper
ity is very dattering. Our people are
coming to realize that success de-
mands effort, and that prosperity
smiles not upon the careless. A few
months ago the Bank was started.
Some had grave doubts of its sue
cess, but it has succeeded, and is a
boon to this town and county. An
other enterprise, small but calculated
to do good, is the Dime Savings Asso-
citation, which was organized two
months ago. 1t, too, will do good,
for while it is small, handling only
5000 or $3.50 each month, yet it will
have its influence in bringing the in
terest on money to its normal state,
and in getting our people to have
confidence in joint stock institutions.
We must learn the lesson from the
fable of the bundle of sticks, and by
united effort build up our commercial
interests. Every man working for
himself, and the devil for all, will re-
suit in disaster to any town.
Manning has many natural advan-
tages. Our climate is fire; our water
cannot be excelled this side the noun
tain springs; the drainage of the town
is all that we could ask for; the health
OF the town cannot be surpassed by
any town in the State; wood is very
cheap, costing only $3.50 cord for
oak or pine; our meat and vegetable
market is well supplied, for while the
county does not by any means furnish
all we need, yet fat chickens from
North Carolina, and fresh fish and
oysters from Savannah, Charleston,
Georgetown, Wilmington, and Ports
mouth, and other things III the same
way, furnish, with pork, beef, eggs,
ETC., enough to satisfy the wants OF any
ordinary man. Our fruit market is
also well supplied, and the fruit is sold
at low prices. Our lands are fully the
equal of any in the State, needing
only cultivation and improvement.
We might go on enumerating many
other advantages Manning he's, but
what is the use? We all know of
them. But we have not been putting
our shoulders to the wheel, and push
ing forward. Manning and Claren-
don only needs to be developed, and
bright future is near at hand.

ToLelO Bee !
+ Toledo Bee.1

Few people IN the city have knowledge
Of the magnitude Of the enterprise handled
by Col. Frank J. Cheney, and;.:what he has
made of Halls Catarrh Cure, which he man
uiacturts.y 1t is one of the many business
affairs OF Toledo which has multiplied and
grown under careful management until it
has assumed 4 standing in, the financial
world second to none Readers of the DD5e
will remember that a, few years ago Col.
Cheney was seriously embarrassed, especial
ly after making the race for county treas
urer. With a load that would stagger the
bravest, Mr.. Cheney settled down to hard
work. and the result is that every claim
against him was settled dollar for dollar.
This was not done by lucky speculation,
but by persistent, energetic pushing of an
article which he believed to possess merits,
and be so stated in the liberal use of print
ers' ink.
Twelve years ago he secured the business
which he now holds, and has carried on in
the building near the corner Of Adams and
Huron streets, which was erected for this
special purpose. That it has gained a Won
derful and deserved reputation is evidenced
in the fact that yesterday an Eastern syndi-
cate put in an appearance and offered Mr..
Cheney $3.50, 900 cash for his plant, which,
after short parley, was refused.
In this connection it is proper to say that
among the great advertising firms Of the
country Mr.. Cheney stands at the front-ln
fact, at a recent meeting of the Connecticut
editorial association the president in his ad-
dress classed him among the best three in
the United States. His advertising depart
ment is in itself a model, q corps Of clerks
being constantly engaged in checking up,
ETC., so that the slightest error does not pass
unnoticed
ToicdoanS in general will be gratifed
with the good fortune that Las come to Mr.. |
Cheney. No other gentleman in the city
ran count q larger number of friends. His |
stern busIaess en- erSv, compiled with happy |
social qualities, has made him general ia
rorite and he will have their best wishes
Tor continued success. His work is another
ellins example that Toledo is a good place
n which to do business when conducted on
proper principles. This is proven with

THE BUILDING AND LOAN.

a building and loan association is
one of the best institutions for devel-
oping and improving town. 1t ena-
bles any one at very small expense
to own home OF his own, and any
man who owns his own bone, is, all
things equal, better citizen than the
one that rents. Sumter owes much
OF her progress to building and loan
associations, and to the good work
done on the building and loan plan
by some Of her progressive citizens,
who had the capital to do so. And
so with Florence, Marion, Anderson,
and many other growing towns in the
State.
Manning has felt the need of
building and loan, and efforts have
been made to organize one, but with
out success till now. One was organ
lied in this place last week, styled the
Young Mems Building and Loan AS
sociation. 1t is under excellent man
agement, and will prove blessing to
our town. The association will be
able to loan out about $500 each
month, to be used in building in the
town Of Manning or in some other
part of the county of Clarendon.
We sincerely hope that the spirit
of opposition frequently manifested
in this place will, in this most excel
lent enterprise, be allowed to remain
quiet. Help it all you can. If you
cannot take twenty-five shares, take
two or three, or even one share. 1t is
good investment viewed in any
light. It will enable the borrower,
by paying monthly but little more
than his usual rent, to own IN few
years a home of his own. Owing to
the plan of collecting principal and
interest monthly, and Immediately
putting it out again at interest, and
keeping up this plan every month fol
the life of the association, the in
vestor will, by careful calculation, be
able to realize in seyenty-6ve months
double his investment. It thus bene-
fits on every side and in every way
We hope our citizens will give thi:
most worthy enterprise their hearty
cooperation and support.
