The Marion Editors OH the Warpath.

The two Marion papers for several weeks
have been engaged in q controversy, which
finally degenerated into personal abuse.
Last Tuesday night W. J. Mckerall and
Junius H. Evans, the two editors of the
Marion star, went to the Office of P. B.
Hamer the editor of the Marion Index, and
having called him to the door, jerked him
out, and beat him iIlScns!bIe, in which con-
dition they left him. The controversy grew
out of town elections, in which 1t was
charged thlt the Stetr editors were leaning
towards Radicalism 1t will be remembered
by our readers that about two years ago Il
white man by the name of Evans: who was
one of the managers Of the town election,
tampered with the votes in such manner
as to entirely change the result He counted
in W. j. Mckerall as a warden Of the town.
The fraudulent change, however, was dis.
covered in time to be corrected, but, as well
as we recollect, nothing was donein the way
of punishment This man Evans IS a
brother of one of the editors of the Star.
After this night attack last week, strong
petition from the citizens of Marion was
sent to the Governor, asking that Mr.. Jun
ius f. Evans, who was also q trial justice in
the town of Marion, be removed from the
Office of trial justice. The Governor took
prompt action in the matter, and removed
Mr.. Evans.

Will of John ". Wells PrObated.

Saturday, the Sth inst, paper writing
purportiEg to be the last will and testament
of john W. Wells, deceased, was presented
to tie Judge of Probate, and after being du-
ly proven ia common form was admitted to
probate. The will was executed on the 2nd
day of January 1875, and the legatees under
the will are three colored persons, viz:
Amelia Gaillard, Nathan Wells, and Edwin
Wells.
Amelia Gaillard pre-decsased the testator,
who is said to be the father of the surviving
legatees, she being their mother, and hay
ing lived with the testator for over thirty
years With the existing circumstances
Nathan and Edwin become the sole legatees
under this will.
The property devised consists of three
hundred and fifteen acres Of land known as
the Richardson place." very highly i'm
proved and said to be worth fully twenty
dollars per acre. This will also provides
that the personal property on the devised
land, such as horses, mules, COWS, wagons,
CARTS &c, should go to these boys. This is
valuable property being lands that have
been worked up to very high state Of cul-
tivaticn, and located in q section of the
county that is rapidly growing, and some
think that the relatives of the testator will
not let this property go without struggle
in law
Mr. Wells had quite a number Of relatives
who are entitled to distributive share in
his undevised estate, and unless the rest OF
the property that is left and not mentioned
in the will be sufficient to pay the liabilities
of the estate and leave something for them,
there is every reason to think that they will
be dissatisfied and . legal battle will be
commenced.
Mr. Wells was bachelor and a successful
planter, and in his lifetime was considered
quite wealthy man. He had the reputa-
ton of always having money Oh hand and
in the hands of his factor, but now since his
death it turns out that he was owing 4 great
many accoants, and his estate is heavily III
rolved 1t is estimated by some that are in
a position to know that it will take all Of the
thousand dollars for which his life was in
sured together with his undcvised property,
to pay out his Indebtedness.
Col John o. Brock has qualified as exec
utor of the Will, and has applied for letters
Of administration for that part Of the estate
that is not mentioned III the will.

News from Panola.

PASoLA, Feb. 10.-rhe topic Of CONVERSE
ton is the weather. Did you ever expert
ence such winter? A few days ago hot
and sultry; to-day sleeting. 1t is predicted
by one of our weather prophets that the
world is coming to an end. From this, good
Lord, deliver US. We are too wicked, un-
prepared for such an awful catastrophe.
What would become of this portion of Clar-
endon if this prediction prove true? Let
the brethren speak out, give their religious
experience personally, are we all ready for
the judgement day? What q time for per
sonal examination! This is the time to
scrutinize our iniquities. We are not to
know the day nor the hour when the son of
man cometh But these reflections may not
suit the readers of the TINES, and may not
accord with the dispositions of men who
have no time to attend to these things.
Therefore, what of Pamela news?
Our farmers are making headway. The
dog barks, the cat news, the boy cries, the
plow runs, the machinery whistles, smoothly
the Alliance wheel rolls within wheel. We
predict smoother waters for our people.
Capt Thos Wilson is CIarendon's adopted

How to Get There.

When honest competition shows
itself in this section of the State,
whether in Manning, Sumter, OF else
where, there is no man that is more
delighted thereby than Moses Levi. 1t
makes him feel as though he had
something to contend for and some
thing to accomplish.
The entire mercantile system has
changed, and no more is it necessary
for a merchant to add large percent
age 10 his goods in order to make up
for possible losses The day has
passed when the purchaser would
purchase anything and everything as
long as lie could buy it on credit.
All this has changed, and the purchas-
ing public are now buying largely for
cash. Since the people have changed
their mode of doing business it has
caused a great deal of competition
among merchants, each one doing all
in his power to get control of the
trade. This is business, right, honest,
and fair, and there is only one way of
succeeding, and that is to make pur-
chases from first hands in such a
manner that you can move along with
the merchants'that are striving to ac-
complish the same result.
Moses Levi realizing this changed
condition of affairs, and knowing that
our farmers are purchasing their goods
for the cash, Las prepared himself ac-
cordingly. He has placed upon his
counters and shelves the largest and
best stock of spring goods, such as
dress goods, ginshams, white goods,
sateens, lawns, prints, latest novelties
in neck wear, in fact the incest line of
ladies' novelties ever opened in this
place. He now has and is daily re-
ceiving the neatest and best lot of
ladies', gentlemen's, and children's
shoes, also mems, youths, and boys
clothing from the best manufacturers
in the United States. His gents fur
nishing goods department was never
more complete, and his hardware and
grocery departments will compare
with any frst-class establishment in
South Carolina.
Mr.. Levi was forced to buy this vast
amount of spring goods, because his
winter stock had run down to such an
extent that as a matter of business he
was compelled to fll'up. This gave
him an excellent advantage over a
great many competitors, most of whom
could not purchase in large quantities
this spring on account of having their
shelves filled up with the undisposcd
stock Of last winter. Consequently at
Lewis mammoth establishment will
be found brand-new clean spring
stock, and owing to the tight times
among the manufacturers at the North
it gave Mr.. Levi an opportunity Of
buying cheaper than he has ever
bought before, ana he says that he can
convince any lady or gentleman that
he will not only sci! to- them cheaper
than they have ever purchased before,
but will guarantee them lower prices
than any merchant in this or any other
toycn

Our Manning Merchants.

Complaints are being made by some that
the newspapers of this town do not have
enough to say for the interests of Manning.
To those we will say that as far as we are
concerned they are mistaken, and we have
only to refer to almost any issue ofthc MAN
MING TINES in order to refute this charge.
We are constantly drumming it into our
readers that Manning is a fine town, with 4
good class Of merchants, 4 bank, school,
dime savings institution, and building
anG loan association, and We DO not propose
to stop at this. We are always anxious to
do something for our town. 1t is our wish
aud desire to patronize and encourage home
industries We feel that it is to our inter
est to do so.
But how about these people that are COM
planning? Do they expect us to go out
upon the housetops and proclaim that they
are this and that: We are running news
paper, and We are not running it simply
for love. We expect to live from our labors,
and if some Of these cross-grained, pull
back merchants will step up and give US the
patronage they should give us, then perhaps
they would not complain Of our writing up
merchants that do business in other towns
Is there town in South Carolina where
the merchants advertise as little as they do
in Manning? We will answer the question
BY saying no, and yet some of them have
the cAees: to say that the newspapers are no
good because they don't say enough for the
interests of the town.
Gentlemen, the MANNING TINES will take
pleasure in placing before its many readers
the different lines Of goods that You are
handling in the most attractive manner
and at the lowest rates, but if you expect us
to give you a free ride YOU will be mistaken,
as the foundation of this paper is not built
that way. We cannot afford, nor will we
advertise merchants free and the newspa-
per that attempts to do so will meet
M'Ginty's fate and fall to the bottom of the
journalistic sea dressed in its best Sunday
clothes"
Now don't charge US with not doing any
thing for the town, but reproach yourselves
for not doing something for US, and turn
over new leaf by giving our readers in all
sections of the county chance to know
that you have bought spring goods and are
80 to t1,an

If on this paper you should C.
Take our advice, and now be wy,
