NONE so BLIND AS WILL NOT SEE.
We Recommend 10 tile Writer the dead
ing of Cantey'S Statement.
Editor The TINES:

Editor HE LINES.
You did right in upholding Cadet
Cantey in his stand in that most un-
fortunate affair. He is Clarendon
boy, and I believe The MANNING
TINES is the only paper published in
the county. Sad indeed would have
been the situation had his conduct
been such that his own county paper
could say 10 word of praise. But
what I wish to call your attention to
is your trying to make hero of him,
and load him down with the honor Of
his father and uncle. If You admired
the zeal of the young man and de-
sired to praise him for his keen sense
of duty and his daring to do it, even
when not on the post of duty, do ii,
OF course, give him all the credit he
is entitled to, for his own actions, but
none that belongs to others. Give
honor or blame where it is due. I
would not withhold a mite, but give
no more, as the poet expresses it,
'Neither praise or blame unduly"
The board did perfectly right il
ezpelling sixty-four refractory stu
dents, for certainly we all know they
were not expelled for trying to de-
fend their "schoolboys' code of hon
or" but for their disregard OF supe-
rior officers and teachers. They have
been sufficiently punished and de-
serve some sympathy. They never
dreamed that it would drift into any
thing more than showing a school
boys disapproval of a "tell-tale." Ger
tainly they carried it too far when
they defed authority and let anger
get the better of reason. But, Mr..
Editor, we must remember that they
were only boys, and have charity for
them. Who of US have not boys at
home that have not their own idea of
honor and loyalty? Give the boys
the same opinions we accord Cadet
Cantey, that they were conscientious
in their actions, though to older and
wiser heads they were mistaken. But
others have made mistakes. They
were not soldiers on the battlefield
that deserted ranks OF betrayed their
country; they were only school-boys,
with proud, fond mothers at home,
with fathers equally as much con-
cerned about the welfare of their sons
as Cadet Cantey's was of his.
knowing the power OF the press
and your paper being the only one
published in tie county, I beg you
not to warp the minds of your read
ers; be generous to the unfortunate
boys, and lend a helping hand to have
them reinstated.
Cadet Cantey being conscientious
in doing what he considered to be his
duty, let him show true manhood
now; prove to the world he has no
malice towards his schoolmates. Let
him urge his father to call meeting
of the citizens Of this county and ask
to have his schoolmates reinstated.
Such meeting has been held in
Laurens and should be held in every
county in South Carolina asking that
the decision of the board be revoked,
it not being as inexorable as the claws
of the Medes and Persians. Let
Clarendon have the grandest meeting
of all, urged on by Cadet Cantey and
presided over by his father; that
indeed would show ''a worthy son Of
worthy sire" R. E.

Orphanage, and the admission fee is
one of the novelties Of the occasion;
at the door you pay according to age.

thy an object, but I am like some Of
the fair sex, don't wish it to be
known how many summers I have
''trod this mundane sphere. Please
see the committee and ask them to
put a mute at the door who can't
tell tales out of school.
Last week our Woman's Foreign
Missionary Society had a social meet
ing at the Methodist church and gave
US quite treat in the way of music
and addresses to the surprise of every
ore. They sang From Greenland's
Icy Mountains" and didn't take up a
collection, to the qualification of all
present. Our pastor is natural born
singer; be has improved our church
music very much and he is a fine
preacher and a good pastor, but some
times he forgets to observe the stop.
Our merchants are holding down
the door steps, while the farmer is
planting &c cotton to buy corn and
bacon; they can't get anything to
lean on unless they plant cotton.
Don't forget to see the committee
and ascertain if we will have to pay
for fractional parts as we do to Uncle
Sans establishme ents.
