Alliance Picnic.

The people of the Deep Creek section
spent pleasant day last Friday, at picnic
given under the auspices Of the Doctor
Swamp and Oak Grove sub-alliances.
The weather was very threatening in the
early part of the day, and great many
were prevented from attending on that ac-
count, but about one hundred persons were
present, including many ladies.
Captain D. J. Bradham entertained those
present for about three-fourths of an hour,
discussing the important topics of the day.
His remarks were full of wholesome instruc-
ton, and were we'll received.
Speeches were delivered also by Messrs.
L. Applet and J. H. Timmons. after which
the picniclSers gathered around well:la-
dened table, and all enjoyed dinner which
for quantity and quality would be hard to

Cloud Burst.

A regular, new fashioned, genuine cloud
burst, of the most approved pattern, del
used the face of the earth few miles to
the northwest of Manning last Friday
night. It seems to have spent its fury be-
tween Mr.. j. c. Johnson's and Mr.. j. F.
Bradham's. The downpour began shortly
before dark, and continued for fully three
hours. Mr.. Furman Bradham tells US that
o small stream, two or three inches deep,
that he crossed in the afternoon, was. at ten
o'clock that night, roaring torrent run

tance Of {. mile and half along the public
road, with the exception of one place, for q
distance of about two hundred yards he
could easily have padded canoe. Light
ming and thunder was often and severe,
and number of trees were struck. Roads
were so washed as to be almost impossible,
and Gotten four feet high, growing upon
hillsides, was washed up and away, the field
being left ridged with gullies.
The rains during July were probably
heavier and more frequent taan ever be-
fore for the same length Of time.

Silver News.

SILVER, Aug. 3.-One of the most enjoya.
able picnicS of the season it has been our
privilege to attend this year, took place on
August 1St, at the residence Of Mr.. B. W.
Cutters
The Calvary Alliance pat the big pot in
the little one. The brethren and friends Of
the alliance ontstripped themselves. 1t
was an awakening, stirring, thrilling occa-
sion, in keeping with the good people in
this section of the county. When they say
q thing they mean it; when they undertake
q measure they succeed at it.
The occasion had no politics in it, for you
know this is an off year. Itwas q gathering
for amusement and pleasure; it was a socia-
ble union-a brilliant happy day. The
aged and the young, married and single,
seemed to enjoy the very bloom of content.
Nothing marred the pleasure, no dispute
tude rested on tLose bosoms. From early
morning vehicles of various kinds, freight
ed with some of the handsomest ladies I
ever saw arrived on the ground. There
was sufficient evidence that cupid's part
would be we'll played, and from what saw,
judged correctly, though it has been said
the eye is never satisfied with seeing. But.
Mr. Editor, had you been there, with quill
in hand, placed at the table just as Tom
stood, surrounded with such fair attention,
you would have done just as did.
Hon. James E. Tindal, secretary of State,
was present. Mr.. D. F. Lide, president of
the Alliance, in his humorous and pleasing
way introduced Mr.. Tindal to the audience,
who responded as he usually does, and
made one of the plainest and most sensible
speeches Of his life. His speech was re-
plete with Alliance doctrines, and he inter-
ested his audience solely in matters apper-
tanning to the farming interest of the coun-
try. / noted the principal points discussed
but for fear might do Mr.. Tindal injustice
I forbear comment. All who know him
agree with me that Clarendon never pro-
duced more brilliant mind, and that he
ranks equal with her ablest and best orators

Ugly Girls With Pretty Hands.

Speaking of pretty hands I asked a
girl in a glove store the other day if
the old saying that ugly women have
pretty hands and feet was true 81
don't know about the feet" she re-
piled, "but it's usually true that our
homeliest customers have the pretti-
est hands, and vice versa" She cited
Mrs. Langtry as an instance of the
latter fact. The Jersey Lily's extrem-
tiles are slender but extremely long
and English in size. And Mrs Cleve-
lands feminine enemies could always
say the same of her when the subject
of her unquestioned beauty came up.

THE BEAUTY STANDARD.


The standard Of female loveliness varies
greatly in different countries, and with in
dividual tastes. Some prefer the plump
and buxom type; some admire the slender
and sylph-like, and some the tall and
queenly maiden. But among all people of
the Caucasian race, one point Of beauty is
always adnired-a pure, clear, and spotless
complexion--whether the female be Of the
blonde, brunette or hazel-eyed type. This
first great requisite of loveliness can be as
sured only by pure state of the blood, ac-
tive liver, good appetite and digestion, all
of which are secured by the use of DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It is
guaranteed to accomplish all that is claimed
for it, or money refunded. If you would
have clear, lovely complexion, free from
eruptions, moth patches, spots and blem-
ishes, use the Golden Medical Discovery"

NERVOUS INDIGESTION.

The prime cause of most of the
nervous disorders and ailments with
which humanity is afflicted may be
trace to indigestion. The irritable
man, the unhappy woman, the fretful
child, contrive to make all around
them miserable. They dose them
selves for nervousness, and perhaps
find temporary relief, only to grow
more nervous when the inevitable re-
action comes. It is in such cases that
S. S. S. gives almost immediate relief.
It builds up the entire system, puri-
fes the blood, gives tone to the diges-
tive organs, restores the functions of
the stomach, gives activity to the liv-
er, and puts all the nerves in tune
with health and good humor. 1t is
natures great remedy, and never
fails to give relief.

)FFICE OF RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS,


COLUMBIA, S. c., Augustl, 1891.
To the Railroad Companies of South Car
olina: Complaints received at this Office
from time to time indicate that Sections
1,475, 1,476, and l,477, General Statutes,
in regard to running of freight trains on
Sunday, have been violated, and it is deem
ed best to call attention to all the railroads
in the State to such violations, and request
that strict instructions be issued to prevent
for the future the running Of freight trains
on Sunday otherwise than provided for
by law.
At many of the stations, more particular
ly the smaller ones, it is the practice of idle
persons to lvitel around the waiting rooms
and platforms, thereby Serionslv incon-
veniencing passengers getting on and of
trains. Your attention is called to Sections
ISIS and 1,516, General Statutes, and you
are requested to have copies of these Sec
tons printed and posted in conspicuous
places at each station, and see that the pro-
visions of same are strictly enforced.

FORESTON AGAINST THE STATE.
4 Citizen of FOvest0n is Willing TO Stake
His Home and Cotton Crop That He
Has the Best Cotton Crop in the State.

ED1roE MANNING TMEs:-In your last is
sue yon gave me license to brag on my cot
ton crop until some one turned me down.
It will take some cne from some other State
than Sorth Carolina
Foreston has lang enjoyed the reputation
Of making more corn per acre than any
other section of the State, but it was claim
ed she could not compete on cotton, so this
year several of our citizens decided to put
an end to that accusation. And all have
to say is. if any one IN the State, Marlboro
not excepted, thinks he can produce,
say, from 5 to so acres of better cotton than
we can in Foreston, when gathering time
comes, they can send representative to
superintend the gathering, and we will do
the same, and the one making the most lint
cotton shall hanl the others home.
Ask your exchanges to pass it around.
Nobody in Foreston is scared.

great purifying powers of Hoods Sarsapa-
