The Word Jew.

\ gentleman writing to the Jetcish E-rpoil-
eTt, Of Philadelphia, says:
Several years ago l commenced writing
for the daily papers making a specially OF
Jewish news. For several weeks, when
one Of the copyreaiers would handle any
copy for the first time, would be called to
the front and warned not to use the word
Jew, as some Of our leading Jewish resi-
dents had frequently taken the paper to
task for using the word, viewing its usage as
an intended slur, and this was said to pa
per whose advertising columns TEEN with
the names Of representative Jewish mer-
chants
The readers of the Things will observe
that this paper does no: hesitate to use the
word Jew whenever occasion demands. In
fact, the word is infinitely preferable to
that Of Hebrew, and implies a great deal
more The word Jew has come to be re-
garded as referring to religion, and the word
Hebrew to language.
Those Jews who Object to reference to
them as Jews are a sorry set and deserve
sympathy. Rochester JetciSh Itdiys.

William James Clark.

William J. Clark died suddenly at his
home in this place this morning, aged fifty
five years. He attended the play by the
comedy company, last night at the school
building, but complained Of feeling unwell
and sat in the rear Of the hail. After the
play was over, he could not be found.
Search was made at his house and at the
houses Of several of his children, but with
out success He was finally found back OF
a small building i'll rear Of the school house,
in al iusensible condition. There were
signs that he had vomited, and it is suppos-
ed q stroke Of apopleXy or heart disease had
rendered him insensible. In falling q cash
was cut under his eye, on the cheek bone.
He was carried home, and died about six
o'clock this morning.
Mr.. Clark was born in Charleston
in 1881, and came to Manning in 1858.
He entered the war with Co. l., 23rd
S. c. v, (Sprott Guards,) and for most Of
the time served as hospital steward. He
was sheriff Of this county from 1870 to 1876.
He was intendant OF the town in 1880, and
was warden for several terms. He was
prominent in Masonic circles, and was, we
are told, the only Knight Templar in this
county He was Chancellor Commander OF
the H. Of P. for several terms, and was at
the time of his death holding that office.
He WAS president OF the County Survivors
Association. For the last fifteen years he
has been book-keeper for Louis Loyns.
The funeral services will be held at the
Presbyterian church tomorrow afternoon
at 3 o'clock, and the body will be inferred
in the Manning cemetery with Masonic and
Pythian Lonors.

Success in Sumter.

Mr.. Mitchell Levi, of Santee, and
formerly OF Manning, has moved to
the city of Sumter, where he has en-
tered into copartnership with his
brother Ferdinand. The style of the
firm is Levi Brothers. These gentle
men are thoroughly known to the
people Of Clarendon, having been
born and reared in their midst, there
fore any words Of praise would DE en-
tirely unnecessary from us. AS busi-
ness men these young gentlemen have
had the very best OF opportunities.
Having received a fine business train
ing they are fully equipped to COM
pete with any set of merchants in
Sumter or elsewhere. Both Of them
are thoroughly acquainted with the
leading business markets, ard having
the necessary qualifications to conduct
a first class mercantile establishment
they propose by their push and ener-
gy to be leaders in their line.
The Levi Brothers specially invite
their old friends of Clarendon to Wis
it them and give their immense stocks
a thorough inspection. They have
on hand and are constantly receiving
large stocks of general merchandise
which they purchased to suit the
times, and they propose to give their
customers the advantage of purchas-
ing first class goods at "hard pan
prices.
The people of Clarendon would do
well to give their young friends cali
whenever they go to Sumter, and By
doing SO we feel assured that their
visits will be often repeated, and they
will receive that prompt and courte-
Gus attention that is characteristic of
the Lewis.

The Alliance caches Honesty.

\ business man in Grecnville who sold
over SIS, 900 worth Of goods to Alliance men
the past year on time has been paid all ex-
cept about 500, and it is perfectly good.
Throughout the State members Of the order
have shown great promptness in settling
accounts, and except in those counties
where crops have been complete failure,
their Indebtedness is all settled or will be
soon. Does this look like the order is Or
ganized to break down mercantile and other
interests? True the merchant has had to
sell his goods at small profits to Alliance
men but his pay IS certain. Small profits
and no losses are certainly better than eXor-
bitant profits and heavy losses for the mer-
chant. Instead of kicking against the Ali
ance, merchants had better encourage it. 1t
is better for their souls, their minds, and
their bodies. Better for their souls in that
their consciences will be clear of exorbitant
prices and their hopes Of Heaven fair; for
their minds in that they will not be worried
every fall about collections; and for their
bodies in that their collections will be good.

played in Manning Monday AID Tues
day nights, and expected to play again
tonight, but owing to the death of
Mr.. ". J. Clark they decided to leave
and come back again in about three
weeks. This is good troupe. They
played Miss Monday night to good
house, and their performance so pleas
ed our people that last night they
were greeted with a larger audience
to see East Lynne, which was finely
played. The conduct of the troupe
while here was genteel, and we are
satisfied when they come back they
will receive large audience.
We have just received, direct from the
manufacturers in payment OF advertising
bills three SEWING MACHINES. We wish
the money for them, and offer them at very
low figures. First come first served. Call
at the TINES Office.
1t will not be long before the citi-
zens of Manning will be called upon
to elect officers to govern the town
for the ensuing two years, and 1t will
be well to look about us for council
that are progressive in their ideas.
We need men that will not only keep
order, but men that will also work to
beautify and improve the town. I'm
prove ments are going on daily in
other towns, and there is no reason
why Manning should be held back. 1t
is true that it takes money to build a
town hall and open streets, but we are
convinced our citizens would willingly
be taxed if they can be assured that
their money will be spent in such a
manner as will give them pleasure to
point out to strangers the progress
we are making.

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.
The Cotton Leaf Worm

During the seasons Of 1888 and 1889
the Mississippi Agricultural Expert
ment Station made a number OF tests In
order to determine the cheapest and
most effective method for destroying the
cotton leaf worm, and in all cases it was
found that IL Paris Green was busted
over the leaves, even very lightly, the
crop was fully protected.
For a small ARA we have found no
better method than that described in
Bulletin No. of this Station, which is
as follows:
Make two sacks of heavy cloth, each
about four inches long and four in diam
eter, open the whole length Of one side
and firmly sewed at the ends. We have
found "eight ounce Osnaburg" the best
cloth for the purpose. Take strip OF
oak or other strong wood about one and
half by two inches, and five feet long,
and bore a one inch hole five inches
from each end. Tack one of the sacks
to each end of the pole, fastening one OF
the edges of the opening to each of the
narrow sides of the pole, so that the
sacks will be in a position as shown in
the sketch.
The Brookhaven leader., 1890-07-31
POLE.
SACK.
SACK.

The sacks can be filled by pouring the
poison through funnel inserted in the
holes through the pole, and distributed
by riding on horseback through the cot
ton rows, dusting two rows at time. A
little practice will enable one to do this
work very evenly, and care must be
taken not to allow the sacks to touch
the leaves when wet or the poison will
not pass through. When tho sacks are
freshly filled very slight jarring will
shake out sufficient amount of the poi
son, but when nearly empty the pole
should be frequently and sharply struck
with short stick, or spaces in the rows
will be missed. When used in this way
we have found it best to use the poison
without any mixture of flour, and If
flour is to be added lighter cloth should
be used in making the sacks.
With pole and sacks as described
one man and mule can poison from fif'
teen to twenty acres per day.
1t Is best to do the work in the even
ing or early in the morning when the
leaves are wet with dew, as the poison
adheres much better at that time, and
often it will be found best to work all
night when there is sufficient light.
1t makes but little difference how
much of the poison is used, prortded 1t Is
1ceU distributed so as to coUer ecery ledf If
busted over the leaves evenly, we have
found half pound to the acre to be
sufficient, but as few workmen are as
careful as is necessary in using so small
an amount, we have found it best to use
about two ponnds per acre. The work
man should be careful to keep the poi
son from blowing over himself more
than can be avoided, and when the
work is done he should shake his cloth
ing thoroughly and take bath. A few
buckets of water should also be poured
over the mule. With these precautions
we have never known either sickness or
injury to follow the use of the poison.
Whatever plan may be adopted for de-
stroying the worms, it should be deter
mined upon and prepared for in advance.
A liberal supply of the poison should be
purchased, and the apparatus for dis
tributing it all ready for work, as "time
is money" in dealing with cotton worms,
aid delay of day in applying the
poison may make difference of hun
dreds of dollars in the crop. The fields
should be closely watched and work
commenced on the very day the worms
make their first appearance. A single
application of the poison, if not followed
too soon by rain, is usually all that is
necessary to fully protect the crop, and
the expense of this need not be more
than fifty cents per acre.
In dealing with the worms, more than
in almost any other farm work, prompt
ness and care are essential to success,
and with these there need be but little
fear of loss from what has been the most
troublesome enemy Of the cotton crop.

BITTER POLITICS.
south Carolina on the Verge of Bloodshed
Over fractional Politics.

WASHINGTON, July 26.-A special
from Columbia, S. c., says: 1t seems
that politics in this State has now
reached its highest pitch of bitterness
and that the simple crook of finger
would now result in bloodshed. And
indeed it would appear as a special
act of Providence If another
week might pass without some fearful
riot being recorded. The anti-Tillman-
ties see defeat staring them in the face
and the medicine is just deal more
than they have bargained for, or
propose to swallow gracefully, to say the
least of it 1t is also now feared that a
split in the party will result in the event
that Tillman is nominated for Governor.
A gentleman we'll posted on affairs
throughout the State tells that there
are thousands of Democrats in the State
who will vote for the most objectionable
Republican before they will cast their
ballots for Tillman. Great interest is
centering in the meeting at Manning
Something sensational is expected.
The Brookhaven leader., 1890-07-31
The Patrons Union.

NEWTON, july 4.--The Patrons Union;
which meets annually at their spacious
grounds near Lake, has done much for
the agricultural interests of Mississippi,
but has especially made farming more
profitable in the counties of the east
When the farmers meet at Lake after
crops have been laid by, it is more like
the reunion of large family than any
thing else, and they freely and openly
relate their varied experiences and con-
suit and advise with each other in q
manner calculated to be of inestimable
value to themselves inasmuch as it
brings to light the best known methods
of farming. The union this year is at
tracting widespread attention, and not
only the whole of our own State is to be
represented, but visitors are expected
from macy OF the Southern States. Ar
rangements for reduced rates have been
made with all railroads, and vast i'm
provements have been going on at tho
grounds for the past two months.
