Some fellow who was cut out of his night drink reported the Manning dispensary for closing too early. The dispensary closes here at 6 o'clock, and the hour is very ac ceptable to the people of this community. We guess the fellow who made the kick, wanted a bottle of liquor to run him and his friends that night, and we will wager if he could have found a blind tiger here he would not have patronized the dispen sary, and we will turther say, that the fel low does not belong here.

The new tobacco warehouse is almost ready for business, and the old one is hav ing a new roof put on it. With two ware houses in Manning we see no reason why this town should not have sufficient in dc.ments to bring Clsrendon's tobacco crop here. The whole thing depends upon the management, if those in cherge of th' warehouses put forward the proper effoi - they will bring the tobacco here, and if they will give full market prices they will keep it here; all that the growers want is fair treatment, and this we are atisfied they will receive in Manning. Last fall I spraisaed my left hip while handling some heavy boxes. The doctor I called on said at ti:5t it was a slight strain and would soon be well, but it grew worse and the doctor then said I had rheumatism. It continued to grow worse and I could hardly get around to work. I went to a drug store and the druggist recommended me to try Chamberlain's Pain Balm. I tried it and one-hzalf of a 50-cent bottle cured me entirely. I now recommend it to all my friends.--F. A. Babcock, Erie, Pa. It is for sale by Rt. B. Loryea, druggist. There are hustlers; and such things as hustlers, on this busy mundane sphere and C. WV. Kendall the yellow front Racket man, not the yellow man with the racket front~is a hustler as will be estimated by the amount of perspiration it must have taken to get up such a wonder inspiring adver tisemenit as his whole page supplement signify's. Look at the prices he offer. and it is enough to induce a man to s.ell the cast off garments of his mother-in-aw to raise the "mezuma" to take advantage of Kendall's bargains. Somnething is going' to drop about the Racket store, because when you see a mana throw away his fan these ~hot days, and roll up his sleeve to work night rnu dnay to mark cut prices on his goods, and without fear and trembling take a page in his county newspaper to let its readers know that he means to get rid of his summer goods, and to do so, the prices are slaughtered, the bottom is about to d rop out; all the people have to do is to stand by to catch things as they come tumbling down. Kenniall is going to the northern markt to buyhn his fall goods, and before he leaves he proposes to clear out his im mense stock at price-. a glance at his ad vertisement will astound any bo.ly who is posted on prices. Some merchants claim it is not legitimate to slash prices, but Kendall claims that he came to Manning and instituted new methods in the nature of out prices and he proposes to be the judge of what is a 1gitim-ite method to get clear of a summer stock when he wants to get ready for a fall stock. He says that he Cannot afford to keep his goods to feed moths. and that he would rather loose a that his customers muy get the benefit, than to keep his goods for another season and run the risk of mioths and out-of-date fashions. Would not Suffer so A.-ain for Fifty Times Its Price. I awoke last night with severe pains in my stomaei. I never felt so badly in all my life When I came down to work this morning I felt so weak I could hardly work. I went to Miller & McCurdy's drug store and thcv recommended Chamber lain's Colic, Cholera and D.arrhoea Rem edy. It worked like magic and one dose fixed m) all right. It certainly is the finest thing I ever used fir stomach trouble. I shall not be without it in my home here after, for I should not care to endure the sufferings of last night again for fifty times its price.-G. H. Wilson, Liveryman, Bur gettstowu, Washington Co., Pa. This rem edy is far sale by R. B. Loryea, druggist. Every Voter Must Vote. The trustees of school district number 9. or better known as "Manning district" have ordered a special election, a notice of which Is published elsewhere, for the pur pose of confirming the action of the meeting of the free holders held in the court house on May 30th, when it was declared by a vote of 14 to 60 that a special district shall be formed, and a special levy of four mills be made to maintain a graded school in the town of Manning. Under the law a vote of the analified voters must be had confirming sa'id action before the same is legalized. This vote will be taken on next Wednesday, polls opening at 7 o'clock A. M. and will close at 4 o'clock P. M. It should not be necessary for us to arouse the people to the duty they owe in this matter, nor would we do more than to re mind thei of the date, and hours of the election, were it not for the fact, that the trustees will provide a separate box for the voters to express their preference on the subject of trustees. We regard the seleo tion of the board of trustees a most im portant step, and every man selected should feel highly honored, because it is an expression of confidence from the peo p!? of the community who know him best. When the people of a community by their ballots select men to take charge of the men tal training of their children, it is a confi dence expressed more to be appreciated than political honors. Taz Tzxxs has no axe to grind, nor has it any special favorites for the posi tion of trustee; what it wants is the selection of men with a sufficient amount of inteligence to be able to judge of the qualifications of teachers, to be men of broad and liberal minds, without politi cal and religious prejudice, and have such business ability as to be able to manage the finances for the interests of the school. Is would indeed, be a most unfortunate beginning were the new school system to get into the hands of "popular met," with out the requisite qualifications to make good trustees. The writer would vote against his own brother were he not properly qualified for the place, and would vote for a man he did not speak to, if that man had the prop er qualifications, in other words all per sonal feeling and favoritism must be sidetracked, and let reason guide the voter is his selection of men to gov ern the school. A man without busi ness ability is not the proper person for the place, one who is lacking in moral charac ier is unnft and would prove an obstruction; one who is so narrow that he sees no good to be derived from outside of his own religious reed or denomination, should be avoided; because, his narrowness of mind would tend to offend, and engender controversies and sooner or later disrupt the institution. It must be borne in mind that the trus tees to be selected are to select t->achers and to make rules for the government of the children who attend the school; the position is not only very important btt a delicate one; there is only one mo tive to prompt a man to accept, that is the pious duty he owes mankind; it is as much his duty to aid his people to become edu ated as it is his duty to foster religion, for the one must necessarily be the co-worker of the other. We have in mind men whom we believe would make a fine board, be ause we believe they have the qualifica tions already mentioned, and will take the liberty to mention their names, with the distinct understanding that it is without their knowledge or consent, and without disparagement to any others who may be mentioned or fhouight of. The gentle men whom we have selected as our personal choice are Major Abe Levi, Dr. J. Frank Geiger and Mr. E. L. Wilkins; this is, in our opinion, a board possessing the intellectual, moral and bus iness ability, and their names are not men tioned in a spirit of dictation, but more from a desire to put the people to think ing. Next Wednesday is the day, and every man entitledi to vote cannot perform a more important duty than by laying aside every other duty,and attending to this one. A Woman's Letter.

Dr M A Simmons' liver medicine has a national icputation, extending over about sixty years, as a most succesful liver regu McLauiin at Wefford. United States Senator John L McLau rin delivered an address at the Wofford commUencemeut which will set the politi cians on him with vengeance, and when the popular feeling is considere.1, his ut terances not being in full accord with pub lie sentiment, is proof conclusive that Mc Laurin is a man of individnal ideas with the bravery to express them, regardless of consequences. If MeLaurin was a politi cal trimmer, looking out for office, he would join in the popular clamor and receive the applause of those who are opposed to ex pansion. but he prefers being a student of Statecraft and leave the art of demagogery to others. The following is a synopsis of his speech taken from the Spaitanburg Ilerald: Senator McLaurin delivered one of the finest efforts that has been heard for a long time in Wofford chapel. His audience was attentive and appreciative, for the message he brought was worthy of it. The Senator gained many friends in the city by his elo quent address, and his visit will be remea bered with pleasure. He thanked the two literary societies for the honor they had conferred upon him, and hoped they would be charitable in their judgment, succeeding as he did so many estimable men on that platform. Then in a few well-chosen words he paid beautiful tributes to Calhoun and Preston, the pure statesman and the unrivalled ora tor. In speaking of them he said that the statesman and orator are never the pro duct of despotism, but are the incarnation of the genius of patriotism. He spoke then of our high civilization, how we have advanced to it, its dangers, its great responsibilities and its obliga tions. Civilization seems nothing but the unfolding of God's plans for the human race, and history is but the epitome of these plans. A stable civilization must make great moral progress as well as intellectual and poltical, and it takes ages to produce it. Egypt, Syria, Rome and Greece had noth ing but the civilization of the ages behind them and they lacked the most important element, moral progress, and so passed away. How can the dark ag-s which succeeded these nations' decay be accounted for? It seems that the divine ruler meant to roll back the progress then, for the great civIli zation of the nineteenth century, as effect ed by the Christian religion, which at that ti . e was hailed by a bewildered race. It is a question whether our civilization could have been evolved from the civilization of the ancient nations. There is a remarkable connection be tween the progress of civilization and re ligion. The Puritans stood for both civil and religious liberty; the Wesleyan refor mation not only caused religious liberty, but gave us democracy. The speaker then told of Washington and Lincoln praying to God after battle. This official recognition of the God of bat tle illustrates the rule of God over our country. He said the present was a time of tre mendous transition, and the nations which did not keep abreast of the time would be certainly overwhelmed. Science has made great progress, but that enchanted land is only half-known. We cannot peer into the future and it is useless to speculate, but it is safe to say that the twentieth century will be as great a improvement on the nineteenth, as the nineteenth was on the eighteenth. America has lead in the progress of the nations and will continue to do so. The most potent factor in effecting this is the common school system of education; the diffusion of general intelligence. Our ed noational level is above that of any other nation. The Senator then took an instance of our superiority the late war with Spain, the illiteracy of Spain being 68 per cent., U~nited States, 7 per cent. He said some one had made the statement that it was the man behind the gun who won the war; it was more, it was the common school behiad that man. America not only leads In scienee and industrial development, but also in the scI ence of government: in new pnineiples and new forms of government. The speaker then reviewed shortly the political growth of our government; how happily the banners of Spain and France, the countries of tyranny and despotism were driven out: how the persecuted and oppressed of other nations made the land of power, and established a government of freedom; how many crises had been safely passed through... In speaking of the crisis of the civil war, a unique struggle in history, the Senator said, ''The right of the Caucassian to gov ern came from God. Race instinct has pre served and is preserving the South; this is a white man's country and a white man's government." He said that our country would never be injured by outside forces, but from those within. One of the most dangerous of those just now is the American trust, which had taken for its motto what the Delphic oracle told Philip of Macedon, "Make coin thy watchword, and you will win all-" But this modern form of evil will be counter acted as feudalism was by the crusades, or overthrown as the doctrine of the divine right of kings was overthrown by Crom wei. When they become unbearable, trusts will be governed by public laws. There have been two great crises in Eng lish history which differently settled,would have changed the history of the world, the battles of Hastings and Waterloo. We are rapidly approaching another crisis. Napo leon said before his death that the next hundred years would see the world Cossack or epublican. To this crisis there is no compromise; there must be either the one, ignorance, Romanism, bigotry. or the other, intelli gence, Protestantism, freedom. The Anglo-Saxon race has led for uni versal freedom. The question is, will our nation, the sponsor of a Christian civiliza tion shrink from the obligation imposed upon humanity of helping other nations to freedom, after having gained its own? But what are oer obligations? One of hese is to preserve th? fr:.a institutions so that future ages may enjoy them. i'his responsibility will soon rest upon the young men, and they should fit themselves for it by education; the highest civil virtue is the result of education. There are no born statesmen; they are the product of cir cumstanes, great ambition and consum ing patriotism. Another obligation is to seek for the bet terment and elevation of all the human race through establishment of political in ttutios5 and the enlightening influence of our Christian civilization. One of the best means we have to establish this is through commerce. This country has met one of its respon sibilities when it established a land of free dom in America; it met another responsi bility in established free public institu ions: it meets another responsibility in the question of' extending our borders. In the East there is to be a last final struggle between the two forces, freedom and despotism. The czar has proposed disarmament, but he has plans for the en slavement of the East and tne expulsion of England. The time for disarmament will ot come until the designs of God have been fulflled; so we should prepare our selves for the struggle of universal freedom. The late war was for humanity. So president and congress say, and not for conquest. Cuba and the Philippines are o our hands as a sacred trust; let us use tem in giving to the world an answer to how to govern; to establish freedom; and to elevate their population and magnify our nation in the eyes of the world. The events of '98 have been pregnant. We have taken our place among the fore most nations of the world, and must now assist in deciding the questions of the We cannot afford to shrink from our .Istin. '[he Hebrew nation was recre ant to hr responsibilities, and it was scat tered throughout the earth. Ve have a divinely appointed task, which we are fulfilling; wherever the American ciiizationi has gone, it has fructified the nition and established political and re ligious liberty. T1he statesmen who deny this task, this obligation is a demagogue, and the Christian who does so is a trai tor to his God and to his religion. cste hainYuHaeAlways Bougdt Quick Results.

A glycerin man in conversation with a reporter the other day said that the majority of those who are engaged in the business of shooting wells believe in foreordination. "I think that a man will not die till his time comes," he said. "A man is liable to die at any calling, no matter how safe it may be considered. He will pass through all kinds of dangers and never sustain the slightest injury. Then he is knocked out of existence when he least expects it. "Glycerin men have to be quite nervy, but there is not one cf them who does not feel that he is in no great dan ger. They think they will live out their allotted time and will not be blown up until the predestined event is due. We are handling death every day and know it, but by the exercise of caution and common sense there are but few of us comparatively that are killed. The rail road men are much more liable to acci dental death than glycerin men are." Bradford (Pa.) Era. Cheerful Antipodean Truth Teller. An ex-sea captain, now living in Syd ney, many years ago was in charge of a ship carrying some convicts. The con victs mutinied, murdered the crew and ordered the captain to navigate them to the islands, and, being a prudent man, he did so. When satisfied as to their course, the convicts deliberated, decided that he had behaved himself well and put him ashore on the first large island they came to. He was a musician and took his violin with him. A threatening crowd of savages greeted his arrival, but Orpheus played to them till they thought him a god, brought him unlim ited pigs and yams and bowed in adora tion. Finally he married the chief's daughter, succeeded him and ruled the island for years, till a ship called in and he sailed away-Sydney Bulletin. Must Have Been a Cannibal. The writer of a book of travels, tell ing of the insect pests encountered in British Guiana, makes a statement of which the best that can be said is that is is probably not so bad as it sounds.
