Mrs. Geo. P. Smoote, highly cultivated
and estimable lady of Prescott, Ark, writes
under date of April %, 1889: During the
summer of 1877 my eyes became infamed
and my stomach and liver almost hopelessly
disordered. Nothing I ate agreed with me.
I took chronic diarrhoea, and for some time
my life was despaired Of by my family. The
leading physicians of the country were con-
suited, and the medicines administered by
them never did any permanent good, and I
fingered between life and death, the latter
being preferable to the agonies I was en-
during. In May, 1888, became disguised
with physicians and their medicines. I
dropped them all, and depended solely on

Advertisements Are Read.

It is fact that newspaper readers do not
slight the advertisements. They have
newspaper represents the goods which the
merchants have for sale, and they take
pains to familiarize themselves with what
merchants have to offer. Moreover, the
constituency of paper are very apt to be
governed by what they read in their own
paper. If a paper is accepted in its politi-
cal, moral, and intellectual tone, as our
home paper, its advertisers share the re-
spect and confidence bestowed upon the pa
per itself. This is an important fact for
advertisers to remember; at the same time
it calls for the exercise on the part Of the
newspaper publishers of great care in the
admission Of lnents.-American Ad-

Sound Political Advice.

The n. Y. Herald, the ablest conducted
newspaper in America, in commenting on
the great speech delivered by the late H. W.
Grady in Boston, few days before his
death, says:
a remarkable phenomenon demands the
attention of the leaders of colored public
opinion in the South and North. They can
not prudently shut their eyes or the eyes OF
their constituency-th colored people Of
the Union-to the sympathy and applause
given by ell New England and great part
of the North in the recent speech Of Mr..
Grady, OF Georgia. at a Boston banquet.
"Scheming and reckless politicians in
Congress may contrive Federal election
bills--they cannot pass; and if they do they
will be repealed under stress of public in
dignation in the North The colored leaders
in the South who tell their people that there
is help for them in Federal legislation mis-
lead them, and are either ignorant them
selves or reckless demagogues. The colored
people of the South must help themselves
out of any troubles they may have. They
must become part Of the Southern body
polite and not an extraneous mass, cohering
for purposes foreign to the general objects
Of their fellow citizens.
1T is the duty of the intelligent and con-
scientious leaders of the colored South to
tell their people all over the South plainly
that they have no help to expect from North :
ern sympathy; that Federal election laws,
even if they should pass, would not benefit
them, and would be repealed in two years
under the stress Of Northern indignation
and opposition, and that they ought no Ion
ger to allow themselves to be banded to-
gether in their States in a solid mass, not
forming political party, but only politi-
cal mob. 1t is their duty to teach their peo-
pie that they must vote rs they think and
not rs Republican demagogues urge them
to.
''rhe solid South consists of two parts,
the solid white voters and the solid black
voters. But what do the blacks gain-what
have they gained by this solldity? Nothing
except here and there postoffice or some
other petty Federal place flung to them by
their Republican friends as bone is flung
to dog. 1t is time for the colored voters
to consider their situation and to abandon
the false course which has brought upon
them, as many of them assert, maltreatment
in the South; but, what is far more serious
for them, indifference and contempt in the
North, and in the house of their friends"

Legal Rate of Interest.

The last Legislature changed the maxi
mum rate cf interest from ten to eight per
cent. The following is the text Of the act:
Nc greater rate of interest than seven per
centunl per annum shall be- charged, taken,
agreed upon or allowed upon any contract
arising in this State for the hiring, lending

eight per cent. may be charged. No person
or corporation lending or advancing money
or other commodity upon greater rate OF

Lewis a. Benbow, colored, of the
Summerton neighborhood, died Jan
uary 5, 1890, Of heart disease, aged
about ffty-seven years. The deceased
was school commissioner for many
years during Radical regime, yet dur
ing all that time not one blot was
placed upon his official record. Con-
servative III his life he exerted an in-
fuence for good that will be felt By
generations yet unborn. Thus has
passed away, in the full vigor OF man
hood, one who enjoyed the respect
and confidence of both white and col
ored. His life and character remain a
living and legible epistle, which can
be read with profit by his race.

We publish in this issue of the
TINES a sworn statement of the con-
dition Of the Bank of Manning. The
statement demonstrates beyond a
doubt that the Bank is a fixed insti-
tuition in our town, and will prove a
paying investment to its stockholders.
The bank commenced business on the
second day of September last with q
paid in capital of about six thousand
dollars, the balance of the subscribed
capital ($30,0OO) was made payable in
four instalments: the first on the first
of October and the last on the first Of
this month; so it will be observed that
the bank has been working on very
little capital during the four months
of its existence. The people of Clar-
endon should patronize the bank, not
only because it is home institution,
but because it will be to their advan-
tage to do so. Money can be had on
as good terms as can be got anywhere.
IF you want to send off money 60 to
the bank and buy a check: it is the
safest and cheapest way of sending it.
The bank also cashes checks and
drafts at a small rate of exchange.
Collections made on good terms and
money forwarded promptly.

How the Chinese Trace the Origin of Man.
Popular Science M0ntIM1


The rocks are the bones Of the divine
body the soil is the flesh, the metals are the
nerves and veins; the tide, wind. rain,
clouds, frost, and dew are all caused by Its
respirations, pulsations and exhalations.
Originally the mountains rose to the frma-
ment, and the seas covered the mountains
to their tops. At that time there wasin the
divine body no life besides the divine life.
Then the waters subsided; small herbs grew,
and in the lapse of cycles developed into
shrubs and trees. As the body of man, un-
washed for years, breeds vermin, so the
mountains, unlaved by the seas, bred worms
and insects, greater creatures developing
out ofHlesser. Beetles in the course Of ages
became tortoises, earth-worms became SER
pents, high-fying insects became BIRDS
some Of the turtie-doves became pheasants
egrets became cranes and wildcats became
tigers. The praying mantis was by degrees
transformed into an ape. and some OF the
apes became hairless. A hairless ape made
fire by striking crystal upon rock, and,
with the spark struck out, igniting the dry
grass. With the fire they cooked food, and
by eating warm victuals they grew large,
strong and knowing, and were changed into
men.

Welded Love.
TO MRS. 1NEz THAMES, MANNING, s. c

Pledged is the faith, inscribed the VOW,
Another's life thou must endow;
BY sacred word thy fate is bound
By Hymen's silken tie.
Thou'lt cheer his home, and guide his way,
And cause to tall the brightest ray
That lights him on his journey here
In true felicity.
Thy souls like Heavens aerial bow.
Blend every light within their glow
While journeying up life's rugged steep
Midst joys and sorrows known.
For grief divided with thy heart
Were sweeter far than JOY apart
Through fortunes rise, or her decline,
Thy hearts shall beat as one.
May naught thy joyous hearts divide,
But on thy years serenely glide
With prospects Frightening as they speed
And all to love be given.
And when life's happy journeys DER,
Thou1t part to meet and part no more
On that '.sweet celestial shore"
There live and love in Heaven.
