Manning has made one or two efforts
to grganize a second .bank, and now
another attempt is being made, with a]
fair promise of success. Those who are
interested in the second bank move
ment believe a second bank in this
place will increase business and be a
paying investment. There is no an
tagonistic spirit towards the present
bank,as there cannot be any just ground
for complaint. The present bank is
well officered and serve the public well,
but the projectors of the new institution
believe that there is room for another
institution of the kind, and if managed]
upon business principles, the increased
banking business done here will make
both anspay. We are informed the
new bank proposed to have a capital of
*25,000, the major of wh-ich has already
been subscribed, and il the charter is
applied for, it will begin operation in
time for the present ifal business.
We would call our readers attention
to an advertisment in these columns
from the Dr. D. 0. Rhame drug store
in Summerton. Dr. Rhame is the
founder of a first class drug business in
that -progressive community, and like
all men of true metal, opposition acts
upon him as an exhilarant.. We do not
think that we over state it, when we
say that Rhame's drug store is the
equal of any similar iustitution in large
towns. Anything in the drug and med
icine line can be found there, com
pounded by only first class pharmacists,
and are ever ready to serve with a corps
of attendants. His store besides carrying
a full and complete line of medicines,
also handles fine toilet goods, perfumes.
fancy goods, fine candies and everything
that can be found in any first class
drug store in a city. Dr. Rhame has
built up a magnificent business, by his
thrift and unswerving integrity, and
the readers of this newspaper no, doubt
have been impressed with his intelli
gent and forceful manner Qfadvertis
ig. Dr. Rhame's drug tore is a
household word in Southwestern Clar
endon, and his advertisments are often
quoted at Manning and Sumter.

SOME QUEER NOTIONS.
Odd Beliefs About Animals Tha
Were Held by Our Ancestors.
Our respected ancestors had som
queer notions in regard to natural hi,
tory. Old Sir Thomas Browne, in hi
"Inquiries Into Vulgar and Commo:
Errors," discusses many of these. "Tha
a brock or badger hath the legs on on
side shorter than on the other," h
says, "though an opinion perhaps no
very ancient, is yet very general." Thi
belief was received not only by thec
rists, but by most of those who hai
daily orportunity to behold and hun
them: yet Sir Thomas could not ac
cept this belief, because it seemed "n
easy affront into reason and generall;
repugnant unto the conrse of nature.
Wherever he looked he saw that th
limbs of animals on the opposite side
of their bodies were of the same lengt
and number and that none of them ha<
an odd leg. One would think that th
question might have been put beyon
cavil by simply measuring the limb
of the animal, but perhaps they neve
thought of that
The worthy knight, however, couli
accept the basillsk, though It does no
seem that be ever saw one and did no
question its power to kill by "inflictin
its eye," as old Dr. Parr would hay
expressed it, upon its enemy. Ani
why not? "For if plagues or pestiler
tial atoms have been conveyed in th
air from difterent regions, if men at :
distance have infected each other, i
the shadows of some trees be noxious
if torpedoes deliver their opium at i
distance and stupefy beyond them
selves, we cannot reasonably deny," hi
says, "that there may proceed fror
subtler seeds more agile emanation
which contemn those laws and invad
at distance unexpected." But ther,
was a limit to the credulity of Si
Thomas, and as for the generation o
the basilisk, that "it proceedeth fron
a cock's egg hatched under a toad or.,
serpent," he thought it a conceit a:
monstrous as the brood itself.-Fores
and Stream.
PITH AND POINT.
It may be hard to be good-it is no
hard to be kind.
Genius has always received more ap
plause than money.
Presumption lies at the bottom o
much that we call success.
It requires no strength of mind t6 bi
mean-it does to be generous.
True greatness lies not in never fall
ing, but in rising every time we fall.
Keep your business to yourself o:
some other fellow will keep it for you.
The public is a baby, dependinj
largely upon the nature of the indul
gence of its nurse.
The higher a balloon rises the small
er it looks, and is this not true of man:
ambitious members of society?
Failure in life is not loss of capita
or the catastrophe of a business ven
ture. Such things are accidents tha
may happen to all.-Schoolmaster.
A Costly Mistake.
Blunders are sometimes very expen
ie. Occasionally life itself is the pric
f a mistake, but you'll:1ever be wron,
if you take 'Dr. King's New Life Pill
for Dyspepsia, Dizziness, Headache

t To the People of Clarendon County,
Greeting:
t 3 "Fine feathers do not make fine birds, fine
talk does not make fine goods," but D. 0.
RHAME proposes to back up the talk with
the goods and the service; we wish to build
permanently. We hope to remain in busi
ness in Summerton many years; we want
ii them to be years of widening friendship and
increasing business-we want your trade
and your friends' trade. We want to gain
the trade by deserving it, but in order for
you to find whether we deserve it you will
have to test the matter.
t This is a personal request to make the test.
If already a customer, we ask you to note
the service you get-not how cheap, but
how good.
As to the prices, we do not wish to insult
your intelligence by telling you that we
work for nothing-' 'The laborer is worthy
of his hire," but the druggist is both a mer
chant and a professional man; the better it
is for his customers if he excels in both ca
pacities. He has a stock of goods to han
dle which is in many respects peculiar; he
must give service which demands the exer
cise of knowledge, judgment and caution
note this carefully-he must protect the in
I terests of his customers in hundreds of in
stances where they cannot do it for them
selves. We make an earne'st effort to do
that-in the buying of drugs, in the proper
care of them.
We do not intend that it shall ever be said
that our drugs get stale-for we are able to
judge when they are-and throw them out.
Long and constant experience enables us to
do this. Should it happen that any one
doubts, why we have credentials to show for
our training, and will be glad to show how
we have been engaged for the last fifteen
years.
Let us fill your Prescriptions-our drugs
are the best obtainable. We double check
every prescription to make it almost impos
sible for a mistake to occur. Our profes
sion is the preparation of medicines. We
certainly charge you no more.
Very respectfully,
D. 0. RHAME.
