Whenever we hear G white man
saw that he has no idea that the ne

State government we come to the
conclusion that he does not know
what he is talking about, or that he

has arrived to drive those from power
who are now in, and place in their
stead the extreme element of sore
headed politicians who can get moth
ing unless they get it through the

The effort to establish graded
school in Manning resulted in a fail
ure, because the projectors of the en-
terprise made mistake in not get
ting the request to the school trus-
tees to call a meeting properly
signed. At the appointed time last
Friday quite number Of citizens OF
the township assembled in the court
house, and Mr.. NJ. Levi was elected
chairman and Capt. W. G. Davis
secretary of the meeting. Some of
the citizens living in the township
outside of the corporate limits were
very much opposed to the establish
ment of the school on the ground
that it would cause an extra levy of
taxes and that it would work hard
ship on some who are living near the
lines. The opponents Of
the scheme were much relieved when
it was ascertained that the meeting
could do nothing as the law had not
been strictly complied with. Man
ming should have a graded school
and it will yet have one.
