A Bachelor at Old Maids Convention.

Business of Importance forced us
away from home last week and to our
sincere regret we missed the 'OIo
Maids Convention" and on our return
home our regrets were the more lnten-
sitied by the many enthusiastic expires
sions of approval from those whose
good fortune it was to be present. we
knew the entertainment would be
success from every stand-point-it was
bound to be. for in no town IN South
Carolina is there better material Tor
an intellectual, humorous or social en-
tertainment.
In the place of our own ''write-up"
we take what y. H. l. sent to the
Columbia State, which is as follows:
Manning. Oct. 20.-All Manning
turned out Thursday night to enjoy
two hours of laughter and attend the
first convention of old maids" ever
held in town. Had the meeting been a
bonafed old maids convention it could
not have been more typical Of women'S
way of attending to business. The en-
tertainment was given for benevolent
purposes connected with the Presby-
terian church, and was taken part in
DN nearly <tlI lIS NOlluS iSSIhiSS IL SO"tt'
and some not so powerfully young.
The costumes were most appropriate
and caused much merriment, but the
way the women would vote on all sides
of every motion whenever they had a
chance and talk out in the meeting was
a comedy of errors. The supposed OBJ
iect of the convention was solely to
promote matrimonial interests, and
some of the quotations on man. and
the speeches were great. They took
occasion to pay off old scores against
all the young men in town, and some
of the "hits: were to the point. All
unmarried men who had ever been un-
successful in their matrimonial asplra-
tions. or who were unfortunate enough
to be red headed, bald headed or wore
false teeth. were favorite victims OF
well pointed jokes, and the audience
was kept in roars of laughter. Every
town should have an ''old maids con-
veption" to let the bachelors see how
txffing they are, and to let the wild
overs in town learn how to go at
courtship.

I was glad that you woke up things
about cotton in your town, it needed it.
and from what I cali learn, you have
made Manning a very fair. market. A
friend of mine told me Sunday that he
sold two bales in Manning on Saturday,
and his brother sold five bales at anoth-
er market, and the Manning cotton
brought within two and one-half cents
on the hundred of the other. If you
can keep this up, there is nothing to
prevent Manning from turning Claren-
don's cotton to her market. The far
mers of this section would rather go to
Manning, and will do so, if our Super
visor will get our roads and bridges in
good condition, and we can get mar
ket price for our tobacco and cotton.

USE PAINT MoN NC SATE HY:

1t is fact well known to every one in posi-
ton to observe. that Buggies, Wagons, 1mple-
mentS and Machinery go to ruin very rapidly
whenever the paint is worn Off. The iron parts
rust away and the wood checks or splits, allow
ing water to penetrate.
Almost every farmer loses many dollars every
year which he could save with few cents in
vested in paint.
The cost of painting is very slight compared
with the amount that may be saved by doing so
in time.
