ORANGES AT AUCTION.

A statement from the Local Manager Of
the Concern.
p. E. Platt. of the Judson-Platt Fruit
company OF Los Angeles, and Judson
Fruit company, San Francisco, was in
terviewed regarding the establishment
of the Fruit Auction company in San
Francisco, an account of which was pub
lished in the HERALD OF Saturday.
Mr.. Platt said that misapprehension
of the objects and plan OF the auc-
ton company might result from the re-
port of the company as telegraphed.
This auction plan is not by any means
an effort in the direction of controlling
or cornering the orange crop. 1t is
simply an organization of the fruit and
commission houses of San Francisco for
the purpose OF harmonizing the method
OF handling fruit, and ia in line with the
wishes and plans of the Southern Cali
fornia Fruit exchange. 1t is proposed
that all dealers may avail themselves OF
its privileges if desired.
The fret auction sale of oranges was
held Yesterday, with upwards OF 1000
boxes of fruit. Mr.. Platt received tel
egram from his San Francisco house last
bbhtluS bAab w nANci
oranges sold from 50 to 1925, with some
of rather poorer quality at 81 rs to So,
and seedlings from $l.l5 to $l.35. cover
ing all grades. The dispatch further
stated that everything was sold within
an hour and universal satisfaction given.
This would seem to disprove the dissat-
isfaction that was predicted, and will go
to show that the new venture is in the
right direction. The prices realized Mr..
Platt regards as very good under the
present condition of the market and
much better than would have been OBJ
tanned under the old plan.
Mr.. Platt stated that his company,
both here and in San Francisco, were
working in hearty accord with the
Orange growers exchange. His house
had already sold quite large number of
cars of exchange fruit and during the
last few days had been able to turn in
orders for shipment to points as far east
as New York and Boston. This he re-
garded as most favorable symptom,
and it is believed that these shipments
are the first OF the year that have gone
east of Chicago, and prove that Cali
fornia oranges are wanted, even in COM
petition with the Florida product when
at its height. Regarding the cold
weather of the last few days Mr.. Platt
did not believe that any very serious
damage had been done.

Senator Ragim's Statement.

EDITOR The MANNING 1'IMEs:-1 see
from the Manning Times that Messrs
W. C. Davis and J. H. Burgess, in
their discussion over the Taw Cav
bridge, have brought me into it. |
desire in justice to myself to say IN
as few words as possible, what know
about it.
The Clarendon delegation was
called to Manning by county com
missioners last fall to consult our
county affairs, and to take into con-
sideration the replacing the bridges
in the county swept away by the
August storm. It was agreed that
they be allowed to expend $1,000 il
SO much be necessary then and
there urged the commissioners to
bridge across Taw Cav, telling them
that the crossing was dangerous in
high water, and citing the fact that
Mr.. Burgess came near losing his
horse in attempting to get to his
farm, said crossing was swimming.
I stated 10 Mr.. Burgess what I had
done, and told him further that at
subsequent meeting the commission
ers reported having expended s1,025
and the bridges in good condition;
that The annual amount allowed the
county for bridge repairs was $500;
that the county commissioners asked
the Legislature for an appropriation
of $500; that the delegation appro-
priated s400; that when 7 came home
I saw Mr.. Holiday and urged the
matter, telling him that he had mon
ey enough, in my judgment, to do
the work, as I thought it could be
done at a cost of 500 or $3.50; that [
also spoke to Mr.. Geddings and that
they both told me they were in favor
Fof doing the work and thought it
ought to be done. I said then and
say still, that those gentlemen, being
taxpayers, are entitled to and should
have the crossing made safe.
Now, Mr.. Editor, I mention these
facts in justice to myself as my name
was brought into the controversy.
Having done so, I am done with it.

4 Card from DR.. Woods.

EDITOR The MANNING TIMEs:-Dear
Sir:-That you saw fit in your last
issue of the Times to place me in an
anomalus position before the reform
Democratic voters of Clarendon by
an innuendo leveled at me when
commenting in reference to cheering
others than those composing the con-
vention is self evident fact and just
here-AIr. Editor I take the liberty
of saying that you cannot convince
any we'll informed Reformer Demo
crat that I am any the less the same
reform Democrat that I was in 80,
but that I am a Democrat is the
place where the shoe pinches. I
hear also through my friends that
some low, degraded sneak and boot
lick reported that I was drinking
whiskey in Manning when over there
which I positively deny, and de-
nounce the perpetrator as a malicious
falsiher and slanderer.

little interest is taken in the ap.

candidates have no opponents, but
some have, and it is the duty of every
voter to cast his ballot, and for ths
most competent man.
There are two candidates for State
Senator, and four fo: the Legislature
These are important positions, and
we should vote for the best men
The probate Judge, treasurer, and
auditor have no opposition, but vote
for them to show that their services
are appreciated. For school com.

The Legislature has abolished the of.
fee Of county commissioners, and
wisely, TOO, as they got little pay an6
did nothing for the honors. If they
went to see a piece of road they were
charged with doing SO to get the
mileage. The supervisor gets nc
mileage as the salary is sufficient tc
pay him for his full time, ard he
should be required to give it. Lool

new law is a wise one, and if proper.
ly carried out will be CT great benefit
to every citizen in the county There
are six applicants for the office, al
good men, and the question is, which
one of them is most competent to fiji
the Office. Give it to the most com
petent, laying aside all personal pref
erences If there is one that yor
know is better qualified for the posi-

Sr Paul, Aug. 20.-As the 26th OF
August approaches we find ourselvc;
bountifully blessed with plenty O

harvcsts to South Carolina, and char,

We are sorry that the president oI
our State Alliance was stung with the
Governors bee and salved it over
with resolutions to support no can
didate for United States Senate but
those who stood all fours on the
Ocala platform, because Tillman was
not dead in love with the sub treasu-
ry plan. I have had the honor to
hold Official positions in the county
and sub-ulliances of the county from
the commencing of its organization
10 the present time, and ! Will wager
felt hat to any one that every Alll-
anceman that is a true Rcformor vii!
vote for Tillman for the United
States Senate, excepting the so-cailcd
Reformer who has his hopes tied TO
the Anti Tillmanitcs. The masses OF
the people will never prove traitor
to Tillman after he had rendered
such noble services to our people for
the upbuilding of the State, with
the trials he has endured for iielorm
kindles the fires of admiration in the
breast of every lover Of the statesman
who did his duty when the bravest
of the brave faltcrea, whose name IN
South Carolina is the electric spark
that illuminates the sacred fires OF af-
fection that signals applause like the
heroic shouts Of those who followed
tie starry cross at the Gibraltas OF
the Confederate war. May he rout
the traitor, Cleveland, that the people
may reigu at the national center OF
the peoples rights.
All honor to our gallant Congress
man, John L. McLaurin, the cham
pion OF the peoples rights of the 9th
Congressional District. Johnnie has
the coon and gone on, and will go
higher still, for it is impossible to
stop the leaven that is ieavening the
peoples rights. True men like him
is the need OF the hour, that will not
sell the interests of his people or be

grant more like John McLaurin.
