The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1897-01-27

Clarendon County farmers are iu a bet
ter financial condition now than they have
been at the beginning OF year since the
war. Nearly every farm has its barn full
of corn and the smokehouse full of meat,
and many farmers have sufficient quantl-
" of mo.aSSes Of tncir own manufacture TO
10 their families and some to sell
We mention this gratifying fact because
we remember that but short time ago il
was common sight to see wagons loaded
down with corn and bacon passing from
the railroad depot on to the farm through
the e;tire county. At that time no one
was surprised but regarded it as a matter
OF cou1se. To-day, however, it occasions
considerable talk when a farm wagon Is
seen with sacks Of western corn upon it.
The mortgaged indebtedness is growing
smaller each year and the records will show
that more mortgages on farms have been
marked satisfied in the past two years
than any five previous years.
With such showing, the farmers Of
Clarendon have every reason to consratu-
late themselves and it should encourage
them to continue to improve their fuancia!

SAM JONES INITIATION.

Variations.

Variations.
Rome, Ca, January IA few
nights ago the Rev. Sam P. Jones
was initiated into the mysteries of a
Knight Templer. A special train
was sentto Gainesville to convey him
to this city, and he entered the hall
at the Masonic temple dressed in
grayish cavalry suit, with a gray cap
perched on his grizzly head. He had
very little to say to those who greeted
him at the entrance of the hall, and
looked as if he expected trouble.
Of course what transpired within
the closed doors was not revealed
to the uninitiated, but many remarks
were made by the outsiders concern
ing the handling of the great exhort-
ter by the Knights, who had been
excoriated so frequently by the sar-
castle tongue Of the most picturesque
orator that Georgia has produced.
About an hour and a half elapsed ard
then the Knights trooped into the
banquet hall, their swords jingling
and epaulets flashing in the electric
light, the Rev. Sam Jones, in charge
Eminent Commander John j. Seay,
Ieading the van The assembled
Knights addressed him as "Zerub-
babel" AS plain Sam Joness he
had entered the mystic portals with a
defiant air and smile of mild sar-
casm on his lips. He emerged flom
the ceremonial chamber with be-
draggled look, his hair dishevelled, a
sword dangling at his heels and a
qujzzical monkey and parrot smile
playing about his features.
The most Eminent Grand Com
marder, Bill Fleming, OF Augusta,
who succeeded Jadge Black as Con-
gressman from Tom Watson's Pop
ulistic domain, was on hand, and the
Grand Generalissimo, A. Walton,
who received an honorary blevet of
Colonel since be left tne West and
settled in Georgia, sat on the left OF
Zecobbabel Jones, his expansive face
beaming with delight from the last
notch OF his double chain around to
the uape Of his neck.
The banquet proceeded, and fol
nall an hour the jingle of the knives
ana forks kept time to the desultory
conversation carried on among the

Ffurtive eances from time to time
in tie direction Of Zer'.bbub el-as i

marks on the beautiful tenets Of the
great order of which he had been
made member be proceeded to tell
a story, suggested by his recent ex-
pecieoces. He said:
"When old DAME. refused to COM
ply with the demands of his enemies
they began to threaten him with dire
punishment. Look here. old fellow,
if You don't obey the orders of the
King we'll fling you into the lions
den, they said, but they couldn't
scare old Daniel. He realized that
he had to chose between going to
hell if he didn't do right and being
flung into the lions den if he did.
He was in a pretty bad predicamant,
I can tell you, but he didn't hesitate
long. He told them that he was 60
ing to do just as he had been doing,
and that be didn't care cent whether
their old King liked it OF not. So
they yanked old Daniel up and they
took him to the lions den, and they
pitched him into it heels over head
and they said:
Now, old fellow, we've settled with
YOU
"But Daniel was not dismayed, and
soon made himself at home with the
lions. He gave them to understand
that he was some lion himself. The
lions finished gnawing their bones
and began to stretch themselves out
for a nap. The old he lion lay down
in nice clean place and looked at
Daniel as much as to say: Here,
Daniel, you come lie down here and
put your head on my shaggy name
for pillow Daniel did so, and
the lions soon fell asleep, and all was
quiet and peaceful as Daniel lay
there with his head pillowed on the
lions name"
The audience sat breathless while
the speakers face assumed a quizzical
look, as if he was recalling his recent
experiences.

he had made, and how lucky he had
been in following the dictates of bis
own conscience, and with sigh of
satisfaction he exclaimed:
sWell, this beats hell %
The roar of applause that went up
from tue assembled Knights shook
the temple. The banquet continued
until the Eminent Commander re-
minded the jewellers that it was time
to put the finishing touches on Zerub-
babel, and they retired TO the inner
chamber. Whether the Rev. Samuel
Jones found in the rest of the exer-
cises some other things or not nobody
knows except possibly those who are
bound under those blood-curdling
oaths to eternal secrecy-Ex.
