| Editor The Manning Times
Please allow me space in your jour,
| nal to relate to the public what q
grand day last Thursday (Thanks.
giving Day was, the writer being &
recipient of on invitation to dine
| with Mr.. S. W. Mcintosh, in the
Salem section. After drive of 1C
| miles with my family l Was there
was aereeably surprised to find q
goodly number collected, with q
beautifully decorated stage, rehears,
ing for the coming entertainment
gotten up by Miss Maud Garland
principally by students of her school
| Miss Maud is model girl and is
famous for school entertainments
About 5 o'clock the people began tc
come and continued until about
three hundred had arrived. The ex-
ercises commenced at 6 O'Clock p. II.
The large audience was composed OF
ladies' and gentlemen OF profound re-
fnements, judging from the orderly
conduct which prevailed. During
tue exercises the crowd was quite So
lici.ous, but I imagine it was owing
to the eloquent, interesting and in,
structive program that contained rec
itations of both natures, reading and
musical, which were delivered su-
blimely. The dialogues were acted
with much stress, and SO impressive
that think all present must coucede
that it was feast to their eyes aud
also to their mental capacities.
Now | wish that I could narrate
tue entire details of the occasion, but
am afraid it will take too MICH of
your time aud space, therefore will
conclude by saying every feature OF
the program was quite interesting
and gratifying to all present, and
more especially the writer, who met
SO many OF his friends and relatives
there. The greetings and reminis-
canoes OF the past were quite plain
and meditative. Oh, could we recall
the past or buy time, what differ
ent people we would be. Neverthe-
less, we should be thankful, and suf-
fee to say that we all were thankful
to the Great I Am for permitting us
to meet on such an occasion to min
gle together with relatives, friends:
and strangers, in social intercourse
and friendship, discussing the topics
OF the day and in every way pertain
ING to the interest and welfare of our
fellow-mau.
Now, Mr. Editor, I will reiterate by
saving 1 felt ti,anSful first to the
Great l Am AID lastly to the good
people # the community for the
courtesy and hospitality rendered me
and ny family daring my sojouru.
5. W. McIntosh's place of abode is
always open to good people and they
realty ealize that they are welcome.
A .suob!e, generous hearted::" that's
tue kind OF makeup he is. Now, if
yoa don't know it, go there.

Tie coming session OF the General
Assembly will lave its hands full Of
dispensary problems TO solve. There
will be determined effort made by
some to abolish the system entirely
and by others the law would be
changed so as to prohibit the sale Of
spurious liquors except for sacramen-
tai and mechanical purposes only.
We believe the dispersary system
as a good solution OF the liquor prob
lem, providing the same is eliminated
from politics entirely. Under its
present management this appears to
be the case, aud we see no reason
for any modification of the law other
than to fix some way of preventing
shortages, most Of which are caused
bv the intricate systemof book-keep
ingThere is class cf people who will
work to make South Carolina pro-
hibition State, and they are organic
ING with that end in view. If pro-
hibition could be enforced it would
be a great thing, but we do not be-
lieve that any law can be enacted by
which such a result can be had.Theo-
re:ically prohibition is all right, but
practically it is u failure, or rather
such has been the experience OF
States that have given it a fair trial.
We do not think that anyone will
deny that the dispensary works more
satisfactory to the masses than the
barroom system. Should the dispen-
sary be abolished, the bars will follow
as sure as night follows day with all
of their obnoxious attachments. I'm
der the present constitution the Gen
eral Assembly can permit return of
the old order OF selling liquor, but we
hope before taking such step they
viii submit the question to vote of
she people and not be guided by the
.slamorous demands of few who are
snterested.
Il any changes are to be made in
Js law, there should be some lnodi-
1,stion BY which large cities with a
. smopolitan population can be made
, listed. Take Charleston for in
e aace; we do not believe the present
h n can be properly enforced there,

President Cleveland has sent to
Congress his last message. It is a
voluminous document in which he
deals with the Armenian and Cuban
troubles in an non-committai manner.
He defends the present tariff and
makes suggestions on finances and
advocates strict economy IN running
the government. It is an able State
paper aud an eioqnent farewell.

Don't You Cry for Ne. MIR. Smith
Has Returned from Alabama.
The following paragraph was taken
from the Hopkins, S. c., correspon-
dence to tlie Colunhia Register:
Mr. J. Francis Smith, a leadiag country
gentleman of this section of Richlani, left
bere last Thursday for Mobile, Aa. His
intention was to Wed 4 lady living there
whom he had never seen--cnly saw her
photograph : and she refused to marry
him after he had travelled distance of
over 500 miles. hope this will be cau-
ton to men of his age. which IS about GO
years.
Mr.. Smith is quite we'll known mere
and has many friends in the country
whom he often solicited to insule
their lives; some of them were aware
of his romantic intention to play
matrimonial blind mans buff, and
of course they want to learn how be
! came out with his venture. It was
known to some that Brother Smith
was in correspondence with what
purported to be a Miss Ophelia
West, of Mobile, Ala, and her photo
graph showed her to be young and
beautiful; after it was agreed that a
marriage was to follow this CORES
pondence, time was fixed for the
swain of three score years 10 go to
see bis loved one She wrote him
that she would
''Meet him in blue.
And kiss him true"
And the old gent went, but Oh!
what difference when they met; she
saw him, and told him to "sit." The
blissful dream of Brother Smith was
knocked into smithereens, and sor-
rowfullv he pulled his freight fo1
South Carolina.
This fair Ophelia cruelty triAed
with our friends affections and she
should be ashamed OF herself, for it
was very naughty in her to do the
old gentleman that way.

again we hope he viii give lis an es-
say entitled, 'swhat kind OF a TOO, is
an OLD fool any way" SO that in the
future the sight of a feminine hand
writing on piece of paper, or the
photograph of an object in skirts will
not turn the lead OF an innocent
youth OF sixty years.
Why the Alabama beauty refused
to marry Brother Smith, when she
laid her lovely and bewitchins eyes
upon him is open only to conjecture,
for We ave sure he is q nice old nan,
and displayed lots of nerve in travel
ing 500 miles to marry a women he
had never seen. Fortunately for him
the girl owed nobody u grudge aud
was not red-haired Mr.. Smith is
entertaining to the unemployed Jobs
and he is not of the worldly kind; his
piety no doubt will stand him in good
stead at this time, for other men
would cuss and have no sy9pathy
with the fellow who sings: %.Yhe girl
