The NV Court House Question.

On tuesday, Nov. 10, the qualified
voters OF Forsyth county will decide
at tie polls in the various pre-
cincts n the county whether or not
Forsyth shall have a new and more
comm odious Court House to super
sede the small, unsafe and incommo-
dious structure that now graces the
Court House Square in this city-a
monu nental disgrace to the county
and to her capital.
The question is an important one;
the occasion is All important one;
as the election approaches. 1t is q
question affecting the interest of
every man. woman and child in the
county, tor this building is a reposi-
tory of records. deeds, claims and
titles that should, by all means. be
safe and consequently well secured.
The present building was erected
forty years ago at a cost Of So, 900,
when the valuation of taxable prop
erty amounted to 800, 900 and when
the polls, including slaves, numbered
only 1900.
Think of it now! The valuat ton of
taxable property is So, 100000 and
the polls number 1900. The prop
erty owners taxed themselves then
over 81 on the 500 of taxable prop
erty which was over As cents more
to each hundred than the proposed
buildingto BE- voted on November 10.
The Court House then that stands
to-day was a much more expensive
building, considering property and
population, to our fathers than the
new one proposed.
Winston-Salem is always ready to
help and aid the county in the way
of public improvements. She has
contributed largely to the better
ment of the public roads and
the S5h miles of railroad that ira
verses the length and bredth of For
syth has been built largely by the
Winston-Salem township.
The voters among the rural classes in
this county should know this. They
| should be shown the Importance,
the necessity and the advantage OF
such n building and impressed with
| the significance of the occasion that
will in a few days present itself
Speakers and workers should be sent
to CANVASS every precinct in the
county and present the matter ami.
cabIy and fairly before the voters
1t viii lie a great mistake to let this
| matter go una TENDED to anothe:
day We have commenced the most
I feasible plan for new building by
calling IN election to vote on the is
suance If $4,000 in bonds, now lei
every Q, rsnn interested in Winston
Salem /, al in the good old county @
Forsyth rally to the support and lei
| the election be carried.

sociation of Manning advertises IN this IS
sue that its books will be open for subscrip-
tions in order that it may become char
.sred institution. This ASSOCIATION has been
running alittle more than year, and both
for borrowers and investors it is one Of the
best institutions ever operated in Claren-
don. To persons who have not enough
money to build house, and who in conse-
auence have been renting for years. it IS a
godsend. By paying s6 a month, the asso-
ciation will build a $500 house, and by
April /, 1896, the house will be paid for.
Such house will readily rent for S6 8
month.
To our young men and others who have
two, three, or five dollars that they could
easily Law aside each .onth, it presents q
fine field for investment. The money Will
not only be saved, where otherwise it would
be wasted for cigars and such, but it will

mum on the Investment? It not only
teaches one to practice economy and saving,
but it pays the best dividends Of any hnan-
cial institution in the county.
The books of subscription will be opened
for month from next Tuesday, and every
one who possibly can should take stock.
The association has only five years longer
10 run, and then all mortgages will be can
celled, and the money on hand will be di-
yided among those stockholders who have
not borrowed.
Money will be loaned in any part Of the
county for building, repairing. or enlarging.

Lynclling in New Orleans,

Last Saturday New Orleans furnished the
world with most startling chapter OF crime
in the nature of an indignant multitude
aroused BY the failure Of jury to convict
the assassins OF her chief of police, Een-
messy, who had been most foully murdered
by band Of Italians that belonged to q Sc
cret society. This society for thlrty-hve
wears had stayed the hands ofthe courts and
prevented convictions whenever they were
interested, and when the jury in the Hen
messy case after sitting twenty-five days and
hearing positive evidence against the prs
oners on trial, yet rendered verdict OF not
guilty, the multitude was aroused with the
determination to avenge the death OF the
chief of police.
Acall was issued and signed by merchants,
LAWYERS, doctors, and other of the most
prominent citizens of New Orleans, calling
on the peop'e to assemble on public
SQUARE in broad open daylight prepared TO
action. This call was responded to by
about Eve thou, md people, embracing some
of the best citizens Of the city, and then
led by two proLinent lawyers they went to
the parish Jail, broke open the doors, and
lddled nine Of the prisoners with bullets
and took two others out and hanged them
TO lamp posts. The officers Of the law were
powerless, aud did nothing to prevent the
angry crowd from carrying out their pur-
pose. The lynchers justify their conduct
BY claiming that justice had been cheated
by a bribed Jury. The jurymen in the case
Hed in haste and hid themselves to escape
the people.
The lynching has caused considerable un-
favorable comment throughout the Union,
and the people of New Orleans are being
censured. The Italian government has taken
action and will endeayor to obtain reparation
from the United States government, and will
want those engaged in the lynching pun
ished. Punishment, however, is out OF the
question IN such case Of popular approx
al. It would be utterly impossible to obtain
3 Jury to convict these men under the cir
cumstspces.
Lynching is wrong and should be de-
ncunced, yet in this case where the people
tried the courts, but by the use Of money
the jury was bribed and the prisoners al
lowed to escape, lynch law will have ten
dency to exert healthy influence with tu-
sure juries in New Orleans especially.
Lynching is wrong, but granting that IN
this case it was night, the people OF New
Orleans made serious mistake ID not
lynching the jury along with the prisoners.
# lynching is ever justifable it would be IN
the case of bribed jury that had, IN the
face of convicting testimony, acquitted a
person charged with high crime.

SUMTER, S. c., Mar. 10, 1S9:

Editor Manning Times:-You will
please state to your readers that We
have finished opening up our spring
stock, and that we are prepared to fur
nish all goods in our line at the very
lowest figures.
We extend cordial invitation to
the people of Clarendon to visit our
store and make a close inspection of
our goods and prices, and we guar
antee to be able to show up as fine
assortment Of goods as can be seen in
any establishment
Our stock of dress goods is the hand
soonest we have ever had, and for
beautiful designs cannot be excelled
anywhere. We have taken special
care this spring with this stock in or
der to compete with such establish
ments as make dress goods speci-
atty
In white goods, laces, embroideries
! and edgings we have an endless va
riety, and can sell them cheaper than
any house in town. These goods as
displayed by us make a magnificent
show, and it is worth a trip to Sumter
| just to look at the beautiful figures
and designs.
Gingham and zephyr suitings are
made up this year in the handsomest
designs we have ever seen, and it was
our good fortune to get into market
before the cream Of the designs were
picked over, therefore we laid in a
large stock Of these goods knowing
that the demand for these goods at
this season of the year is great, and
by buying i'll large quantity it ena-
bles US to sell them much cheaper
than those houses that buy in smaller
quantities. BY buying goods in case
lots a considerable discount is OBJ
tanned, and we always give our GUS
toners the benefit of such discounts
Now is splendid time for the ladies
to do their shopping. They can make
the very best selections from fresh
goods just opened, and at the same
time have their spring dresses with
the beginning of the season.
All of our dress goods are bought
with trimmings to match, so that
when lady buys dress she need
not run all over town trying to find
the suitable trimmings. These trim
mipgs when sold with the dress are
sold at a nominal profit.
We have magnificent line OF gents
clothing. All of the very latest styles
can be found at our store, and our
patched pocket sack Esuits are very
nobby and attractive. We are able
to sell real good business suit for
less money than any other house in
Sumter.
The shoe stock we never let run
down, and this season our stock is
larger than ever. We were forced
to buy heavily this spring in order to
meet the demands on us for our
shoes, as the people have found out
that we sell these goods cheap and
only keep u reliable article.
Our whole stock is complete, and
no one can form an idea of the i'm
mensity of our stock without giving
same personal inspection.
We have great many customers
in Clarendon, largely through the in
strumentality of your valuable paper,
and we think it is unnecessary for us
to do any more than merely announce
that our spring goods are in stock,
and that we would be delighted to
have them come in to see US.
Very respectfully,
LEVI BROTHERS.
