Oar merchants age ,xpectinGa good tra,ie
this fall Mauaine IS low 4 tiUe retail
market and there is no need Of people &c
ing tc other markets 10 make their par
chaSeS. 4 few Years ago there was grea;
rush every fail of Clarendon folks TO other
markets because they coUld not get what
they wanted II Manning, but now there Is
40 use Of th;s since our merchants carry
full lines and n2aay hundreds OF dollars OF
MaDnins's legitimate trade has been turned
back to our town. And what has done this:
Advertising in THE TINES.
Ices, Shakes and CocS-Cola and Soias al
Brockin;ons.
The proposed large brick vault IS being
built IN the Clerk OF CoUrt s Office, under
the supervision OF tie McIver contractors.
Of Sumter II IS found that the vault will
cost much more than was al first estimated
and that the brick and steel work with the
necessary furniture Will cost something
over s., 800. This seems like an enormous
expense and yet the records were almost
! totally unprotected before. Il VII! rro6-
ably be necessary for our representatives
TO create sinking fund to be cal!ected out
of the taxes fer the next two years 10 meet
this expense.
Ladies, 80 to f. c. Horton for bargains.
Il makes us laugh to hear some our local
political critics talk; they know just how
every man IN this County vii! vote and
their wonderful minds extend beyond the
| County lines, too; bT some mysterious
grape vine telegraphy, information
reaches them and, OF coarse, their favolite
candidate IS away ahead of everybody else.
But it does seem strange that with this
wonderful faad Of information about the
Congressional situation, they Seem to
vince when they tinda man who differs
with them and expresses that difference OF
opinion.
Last summer one Of our grandchildren
was sick with severe bowel trouble, says
MIS-. L. N. gregory, oi FREDERICKSBURG,
Mo-, '.our doctors remedies had failed,
then we tried Cham berlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrkoea Remedy, which gave very
speedy relief" For sale BY r. s. Loryea,
the druggist.
ga home paper is in no sense child Of
charity; it earns twice over every dollar 1t
receives, ard IS second to no enterprise in
contributing to the up-building Of a town
OF community" says a Western weekly.
Its patrons reap far more benefits from It's
columns than DO the publishers: and IN
calling for the support OF the people of the
community in which it is published, il asks
no more than in all fairness belongs to it,
though it sometimes receives much less. ,"
No greater truth was ever penned, and yet
| the local patrons Of a home paper do not
appreciate it. Some of them seem to have
an idea that when taey patroaize q home
paper they are contributing to charity or
doing personal favor; they do not give
their patronage because it is a paying busi-
ness investment. 4 home paperis one Of
the most thankless institutions in COM
ra0ity.
