Filthy Factories.

DAIRY en should not take with Ill
grace criticisms upon lack of cleanliness
of cans, milk, ETC., when they maintain
such ebject-lessons as the average cheese
factory. We long to see one, Just one,
model factory, whose floor is clean, whose
walls are clean, whose windows are clean,
and last, but not least, whose flies are
stricktly limited to the outside. 1t can
be done" Another authority seconds
this depreciation, and adds: There is
much latent deviIment lurking in the aver
age whey-vat." There are private diaries
conducted upon strict principles OF neat
ness: but never saw public one for
which so much could be said. The floors
of the milk-room are usually of plank,
laid ON sleepers. Planks will dry, shrink
and leave cracks; wash percolates through
to rot and tester and send its exhalations
back into the room to poison the milk and
butter. If the floor be tight, filth gets
into cracks between tho planks, and then
has the same effect. A grout floor is OBJ
jectionable because it is absorpent.
A stone floor is better, provided spill
ed milk be at once wiped up. An earth

bent; but it is also purifier. All the

Gays and scents very quickly. If heated
to 14o degrees and then cooled, it will keep
several days. If there is any scent what
ever about a creamery other than the
natural smell of sweet milk, butter and
cheese: there is something wrong, and
the, products of the factory will be effect
ed. A microscope should be as much of a
creamery implement as thermometer.
If the attendants will scrape litGle of
the filth from seams or corners of milk
and whey receptacles, or from the filthy
floor, and apply the microscope test, the
wriggling animal life brought to view will
be revelation. and potent incentive to
cleanliness. It is reported by a local
paper that some of the hogpen adjuncts
of creameries have been very properly
abandoned.-(Galen Wilson.

Diversified Farming.

While diversified farming is ap advan-

which pays the bost, it is quite certain
that neither will pay if an attemp is made

Improving Corn.

A writer in the American Agricultu-

crop as it should be improved three things
will have to be made conspicuous in grow
ing SEED: First, breed the seed corn sep

second, dry it in the fall and not permit
it to be frozen in the winter, and, third,
make it fixed rule that in culture the
roots of the corn must not be disturbed

Friendship has a noble effect upon all

fears. A friend who relates his success
talks himself into new pleasure, and by
opening his misfortunes, leaves part of

A Clarendon Inventor.

Col. R. r. Hudgins, of Foreston, was IN
town to-day with rough model OF a car
brake that has Just been patented by ms
son, Mr.. Geo. E. Hudgins. Sr. H. Al.
Dean, of this place, has been engaged TO
make for exhibition model OF the lnven-
ton.
It apparently is one Of the simplest and
most valuable inventions OF the time, oelng
simple in construction and automatic IN
action. AS soon as a train slows up, the
brakes are Immediately and automatically
applied and the train stopped. Starting
the train takes off the breaks. In case OF
shifting, the brakes may be thrown of IN
stantly, and when the train is MADE up tney
may as easily be put on again. Everything
is Simple, with no springs OF compilca'ea
machinery to get out of order, and the at
tachmept may at small cost be apphed 70
the brakes already in use on the cars;
L: covers practically the same held as tne
present air brakes, except it is Tar simpler
in construction and the cost OF manoiac1ur-
ing will be comparatively very small. In
case q train in motion should be broken tne
brakes on the detached part would be put
on at once, and that part Of the tram stop-
ped. Of course with this Invention there
will be no need Of brakemen.
There ought to be a bonanza TOR the IN
ventor in this invention.

PR1vAIEER, SUMTER COUNTY, January l6.
The Rev. Eugene E. Ayres, ali ex-pastor
of Bethel church in this township, and
more recently the pastor Of Bap-
tist church ih Hartford, Connecticut,
will preach at Wedgeiell and Summerton
this year. Mr.. Ayress place of residence
will lie Sumter. He has to leave the North,
as the climate does not agree with his
health.
A landmark of the old Privateer voting
place has passed away. 1t was the Nettles
old store, which has been pulled down.
This store was quite large plank building
and was familiar sight to travellers on the
Georgetown public road.
Mr.. Sumter Richardson had pair of fine
mules killed on Wednesday by a tree which
was cut down and fell on the mules.
An observant f-rmer Of the township says
that it will be several years before another
crop as good as last year is produced again.
He says that great deal OF fertilizer was
used and the rains were suited to bring out,
to the full extent, the strength OF the fer
tiliZers.

year II this be Il true sign, then We cannot
expect much from tElS years crop, as last
Christmas came off when there were moon
light nights.
a good crop year has one dark side-it
seems to demoralze negro labor.

able than this, there is more sickness this
winter than there was last.

There's new Sorld for them-suferirg and

from the brain of skillful physician-a
discovery-the Golden Medical Discovery"
Years ago DR.. Pierce found out that the
secret of all scrofula, bronchial, throat and
lung trouble lay-in the beginning at least
in impure blood and the weak tone of the
system; that the way to cure these effects
was to remove the cause, that human nature
being the same, the same results might be
looked for in nearly all cases. So confident
was he that the exceptions were uncommon
that he took the risk of giving the medicine
to those it didn't benefit for nothing, and
the results have proved that be was ri ght.
And Golden Medical Discovery" is the
remedy for the million! The only gataraa-
tead liver, blood, and lung remedy. Your
money back if it doesn't help you.

Notes from Wilson's.

EDITOR MANNING TIMEs:-Those who
missed the entertainment Of the Union
His,rionic Club at Wilson's last Friday night
indeed missed treat. l wish l had the
power to tell you about it as it was. IN
spite of the very bad night there was
large crowd present The program was
quite long and interesting one, and we
believe one of the best that the club has
ever had. The entertainmentwas opened
with the song, II will guide thee" and
closed with the very appropriate song, "God
be with YOU till we meet again" The fol-
lowing is the program:
In Answer Miss Hattie Nelson.
The Art Critic-aIrs G. E. Schiffiey and
Miss Hattie Nelson.
Mary Malony's Philosophy-Misses Jen-
ME and Fannie Strange.
The Old Year-AIiss Lizzie Wilson.
Think it no Excuse Boys-Mastcr Marvin
Strange
Deaf as Post-Misses Jennie and Fam
ME Strange, and w. L. Burgess;
The Last Hymn-Ntiss Lizzie Nelson.
When did they go-Miss Martha Wilson.
People Will Talk-Master Emery Strange.
Josh Billings on Courtship-A. P. Bur-
CESS.
Mrs. Tattle and Mrs. Prattle-Misses Jen-
ME and Fannie Strange.
The Train to AIauro-Miss Millie Nelson,
W. L. Burgess, and Charles Wilson.
Then followed some beautiful tableaux.
Mr.. Editor, it is not in our power to do
the program, and especially the tableaux
Justice, so we refrain from comment. We
had several splendid duets by Mrs. c. E.
Schifiey and sister on the organ, also excel
lent violin music by Messrs. Campbell and
Anderson, the noted musicians. These en-
tertainments are like some fellows are about
the girls: they think the last one they see is
the prettiest and best Just so with our
meetings, the last always seems the best
Really, Mr.. Editor, you or some of your
staff ought to come down. If you can't
come yourself, send your devil" Justfrom
the way that name sounds he ought to have
q mind full of imagination, and if you will
induce him to come to some OF our enter
tainments we guarantee to send him back to
Manning full of news and with smile on
his cheek that will last him all the week.
Well, another year is upon US, and the
farmers have begun to busy themselves for
another crop. The cry now is, "Who will
carry the head row." We say, 'Let there
be no lagsards" Don't you think Mr.. Ed
itor, that Clarendon county is able to offer,
mean to give prize of say one hundred
dollars each for the biggest acre of corn and
cotton. We believe it would do good. 1t
would do the fellow that got good anyhow.
In our humble judgment what We need is
more life and spirit, and more brain thrown
into farming. A good motto for this year
would be, "Plaut less, and make more per
acre B.

A Gallant Rider.

Mr.. Never Behal, one of Philadelphia
cavaliers, while out horseback riding last
Monday, looking at the beautiful scenery
around Manning, was so carried away with
| the grandeur that presented itself that he
forgot the hours were heeting. When he
noted that 1t was growing late be also DIS
covered that he was taking IN more scenery
and grandeur than dinner. So he turned
mis- steed honeward. and dashing forth like
one of the ancient knights be rode onward
neither looking to the right of him nor to
the left of him. Just as he approached the
mercantile portion Of our beautiful town,
still thinking of the beautiful sights he had
| left behind, his reveries were suddenly dis
turbed by a slight change of position on the
part of the noble steed, and then this gal
| liant rider assumed the role of MGlnty, and
down went he, dressed in his uncle Noses S
clothes
Proudly he rose from his change OF base,
and swearing vengeance on the horse ne
quietly and meekly took hold Of the bride
and led the noble animal back into his Sta
bic, and as he turned his back on the horse
habitation he soliloquized thus: 81 read IN
Shakespeare that some one offered klnS-
| dom for horse, but if that is the kind OF o
horse that was wanted, then L say 'wha1
fools we mortals be. ,"
A ladv who was an eye witness to the
foymnastic performance of our gallant friend
| from Ouakertown was little later IN the
store CT a relative of the gentleman, DONG
some shopping. She walked up to another
gentleman, mistahing him for the hero OF
