The Appeal Was Perfected.

EDITOR MANNING T1MEs:-The following
extract from your last issue is somewhat
misleading, and you will please allow Inc
space for its correction:
Primus English, who was convicted OF
obtaining goods under false pretenses, IT
the last term Of the conrt, and who gave no.
tice OF appeal, Will be turned over to the
penitentiary authorities tomorrow, owing
to the fact that the ten days allowed him by
the law to perfect his appeal has expired
without said appeal being perfected.
The said appeal is Sqnarely into the
supreme court. which fact appears from the
notice given and the order on file in the
Clerk s office; and if the prisoners relatives
pay tac attorneys fee inside of twenty days
the case will be printed and argued at Col
umbia in May. The strength Of the points
taken on motion after sentence wos passed,
may be measured, in the Judges estimation,
by the size of the bond required for the re-
lease of a prisoner under one Years SEN
tence in the penitentiary, namely, only $500.
1t was because Prlmus English failed to
give this bond. which his relatives could or
should have provided for him, that lie was
transferred to the penitentlary, and not be-
cause his attorney neglected to perfect his
appeal. Respectfully,
NJ G. GALLrcHAT.

The Sleeping Negro Preacher.

AUGUSTA March 15.-Major Perry, the
Fairfield South Carolina negro preacher,
who breaches while in a trance or sleep, was
exhibited in Augusta tonight at the Opera
House. in the presence of Drs. Ford. Dugas,
and Wright The negro is wonder and
his actions baffied the minds of the most
scientific men of Augusta. Major Perry
before falling into trance prayed to God,
and afterwards went to sleep on cot. Ia
fifteen minutes he fell asleep. and after a
few groans he commenced preaching on the
29th Psalm He sung several songs and then
delivered coherent sermon, which sur
prised and bewildered the large audience.
The doctors are satisfied that Major Perry
is no humbug, and at the same time no
wonder, and term what he passes through
as what is known as hypnotism, or what
is more famiharly called mesmerism. The
negro after arousing is unawares Of what
has trarspired, and he is unable to account
for his strange emotions. Major Perry is
an ignorant negro, and his wife tonight
said he had been preaching for the past
nine years, and is perfectly unconscious OF
what transpires during his sleep. DR.. Dugas
said. might -erhI bftfon, ee.ass Pesry
could not stand the strain long, and conse-
quently would die soon. Major Perry will
doubtless be exhibited throughout the
United States.

They have the nobbiest hats we
have seen this season. The styles are
the very latest.
We can safely say that the clothing
counters Of the Levi Brothers will
compare favorably with the counters
of tie finest clothing stores in South
Carolina, and they are selling their
clothing at very low fgules.
Their grocery department is sup
piled with the choicest of family and
plantation groceries. They get all
of their heavy goods direct from the
West in bulk and nothing less than
car load lots, saving the additional ex-
pense of packing, sacking, and boxing.
They take advantage of every oppor-
tunity to save expense, so that they
can give their customers the benefit.
We were much pleased with our visit
and appreciated the kind and courte-
Gus attention shown us by the Levi
Brothers and their polite and gentle
menly salesmen, but then the people
of this county know the Lewis, and it
is useless for us to tell them that
Clarendon people will be made to feel
at home in their store.

No need to take those big eathartic pills;
one of Dr. J. H. McLenn's liver and kidney
pillets is quite sufficient and more agreeable.

HICKORY GROVE, Mar l0.-Eltor TIE
Manning Times: l see in yonr last issue a
statement Of the game law, us amended by
by the last Legislature. \ good law it is,
but not 4 word is said about the habit OF
putting ont poison for birds, which We
think is much worse than shooting or trap
ping. We hope the next Legislature will
take some action to stop this poisoning OF
birds. When poison is put out many
il nocent birds come in contact with it and
are destroyed, which should not be done.
When poison is put out in corn, or grits as
is commonly the case, any and every bird
will eat it from the sparrow to the crow, so
the innocent are destroyed as well as the
guilty. l believe that it is admitted by all
intelligent farmers that worm-eating birds
are indispensable on the farm, and yet we
find farmers who seem 10 be determined to
destroy the last one We think when we
hear so much complaint about wheat and
oats being destroyed by insects it is time
for the farmer to begin to look about for
the remedy.
The farmers in this section seem to be
well up with their work. 4 good many are
ready to plant corn this week, but owing to
the cold snap we have had for few days
doubt if there will be much corn planted
before another week &. F. X.

How They Sell Cheap i'll Sumter.

Seldom is it that we get the chance
to leave town, not because we do not
like change, but because we do not
always have the change to 80 with,
Last Friday by tight squeeze we
managed to gather together enough
money to pay our fare to the city OF
Sumter. On arriving in this city we
were struck with the signs Of thrift
and energy which confronted US on
every turn. We also wondered at the
number of Clarendon people that
We're there, thinking perhaps it was a
mere accident. On our way up from
the depot we dropped into the store
Of the Levi Brothers: and there we
found Clarendonians again busily en-
gagged in making purchases Of spring
goods. It is not surprising when one
thinks of it, that these gentlemen do
a large business with the people Of
this county, because, first, they were
born and reared among them. The
people know them and feel that they
will be treated right Another reason
is that they have great advantage
over majority OF merchants in the
way of having not only au unlimited
credit, but cash capital sufficient to
take advantage of all bargains that
are forced on the market.
Our readers will remember that
some time ago we informed them Of
the large commercial deal that these
gentlemen were engaged in and their
being always on the lookout for
special bargains to offer the trade.
We took occasion to express our
qualification at seeing them doing a
GOOD business, when they took us III
Charge and showed US some of their
late purchases, which they made to
draw the buying public, and we were
compelled to admit that they showed
us as cheap and as pretty line OF
dress goods, such as challies, muslins,
satines, cheviots, batistes, singaams,
prints, in fact everything in the dress
goods line, as we ever saw. They
have a beautiful stock OF white goods
consisting OF lawns, nainsooks, check
ed :ssa5 &;;sTe4 sFe1!@u @uslins, and piques.
Then we looked at magnificent Sc.
lection of American and ihppu-ssesaaeinn 81 ein-
broideries, laces, lace curtains,
edgings, and insertions, which are Of
fered at surprisingly low figures
We never have seen fancy goods so
we'll assorted and as cheap. Their
lot of ribbons are simply beautiful,
and they will sell them cheaper to
their trade than most merchants can
get them at wholesale. In fact they
claim that they can and will sell cheap
er than any house in the State, and
from the prices they made lis on sew
eral articles we are inclined TO be-
lieye that they will be hard to beat.
We went all over their immense es-
tablishment, and aj every torn we
were shown bargains. Shoes of ev-
cry style and shape were being open
ci. and the Levi Brothers told Us
that they are now having all their
stock Of shoes manufactured by
special contract and only by the. most
reliable manufacturers, and knowing
from years of practical experience
that the shoe stock is very important
they are exceedingly careful, and will

A Big Voyage for a Little Child.

On board the Yemassee yesterday by far
the most stinteresting passenger was 4 Charles
ton nHS.;.- The little creature was only two
years old, and made the voyage from New
York to Charleston without mother or 4
nurse, the mother OF the child being, 1t is
said, unwell in New York.
Somehow it was found ont that the baby
wanted to come to Charleston to see its
grandma. The stewardess of the Iemassee
undertook to chaperon the waif. The purser
Of the Yemassee said yesterday that every.
body fell quite in love with Baby Bischotf.
The ladies couldn't let the child rest for at.
tertions and purser and captain and all took
turn with the blessed littla baby on deck.
1t was the only child on board and they all
made merry over the little saving grace

1C0unty Record.

The board Of equalization at its meeting
on the llth inst. assessed all lands, outside
of towns and villages, at 81 so per acre.
The effort to establish 4 bank at this place
is meeting with much encouragement. The
stock already subscribed is sufficient to in
sure its success.
We have heard Of some farmers whose
corn was up and growing rapidly when the
cold snap came upon it. Now it is killed
and the fields will have to be planted again.
Very little commercial fertilizers have
been received at the depot at this place Sc
far this season. Whether this is caused by
there being so little demand for it, or the
inability of the railroads to transport 1t, we
do not know.
The building Of a new Presbyterian
church at this place. which has been uhdel
consideration for a long time, has at last as,
sumed the shape Of reality. The plan Is
modern in style and handsome in design
The building committee have contracted
with Mr.. S. Bounds Of Florence, to do the

first of April. He expects t. finish the
building by the first Of July.
