The railroad authorities are not CIV
ing much encouragement to the scheme
to induce people to go to the exposition.
Those living on the central railroad, IN
order to spend one day in the city are
compelled to undergo the Inconvenience
and expense of spending two nights
there, we hope the railroad people Will
do something about this matter at once,
because there are thousands who would
90 TO Charleston if they could run down
in the morning, and return at night:
they would make frequent trips, ana
add much to the gate receipts, but as 1t Is
thev will not, in order to get a days
pleasure, spend two nights away from
home. Manning has been bottled up
bv the Atlantic Coast Line long enough,
and it is time now that the cork be
pulled, if we cannot get some accommo-
dations. Now that the exposition IS
going on, it will be high time to take
some action when the legislature Is IN
session. Walterboro was similarly Sit
uate6 and her citizens came together
and got the railroad authorities to give
them relief. We can do the same; let
US try and persuade the company to put
on double daily passenger service. if
they will not then let US seek the aid OF
some authority which may make them
do so. In the absence of q board OF
trade, We suggest that the town council
put Itself in communication with the
railroad authorities.

Whas is Sauce for the Goose, Should be Sauce
for the Gander.

The concensus of opinion now, is
that not over so cents on the dollar will
be collected, and of course this will put
many merchants in an embarrassing po-
sition. Their creditors are pressing,
and to their demands they plead short
crops. The mercantile reports show
that many merchants are offering COM
promises, and in some instances these
offers are accepted. Now it does look
to US if merchant can ask his credit
ors to knock off one-half of his account,
that merchants should be willing to
grant the same indulgences to those
farmers who toiled hard and failed to
make the crop.
If merchant compromises, why
should he not take compromises. 1t is
as honest for farmer to get a receipt
in full by paying one half as it is for a
merchant to do so. Those merchants
that compromise their debts will press
for every cent owing to them, and II
the farmer doesn't pay up in full, why
he is scoundrel, Notwithstanding the
merchant he owed has just made a COM
promise of 25 cents on the dollar. This
is a tough year and merchant and far
mer should both be protected and help:
ed, but do not squeeze the last grain OF
corn from the farmer to satisfy your
claim against him and then take that
money to compromise with. If you
will exact the last cent from the far
mer, then iu Gods name pay the last
cent yourself. If a farmer owes he
ought to pay in full, and if a merchant
owes he ought to pay in full but when
times are like these, then we must bear
each others burdens, and not oppress
those who are helpless; neither should
advantage be taken of the depressed
condition1to make money by compro-
missing.

Editor The Manning Times:
Hurrah. Lookout! Christmas is COM
ing and every boy wants to buy his girl
present, and Manning must be the
place to get it, if the advertisements in
THE TINES mean anything, and think
they do, because 1 found things to be as
they were advertised. Manning's mer-
chants are certainly up-to-date, and
do not mind advising people to go there
to do their buying.
Miss Allie Boykin and Miss Allie
Buddin of Mayesville attended preach
ing here last Sunday.
Mr.. Willie Strange and his mother
are visiting relatives over here this
week.
We have at last gotten glimpse OF
Supervisor Owens who was seen pas
sing through this section on his way to
Florence to attend a meeting of county
Supervisors. I think from what I can
learn from this meeting the Legislature
will be asked to do some legislating
with regard to our road working sys.
tenn: the present system is farce, and
especially so since the chaingang has
come into operation. The road work"
ers do not do enough work to pay for
warning them out, and if there was
some way of collecting a tax and have
the roads worked by the contract sys"
tenn we would soon have decent roads.
This section has been damaged consid-
erably by it's roads being cut up with
log carts. There ought to be some way
to make the men who tear up the roads
fix them. They claim they pay taxes
which entities them to the use of the
roads, which is true, but if a man rents
house that does not give him the
right to knock the shingles off the roof
or pull the pillars from under the sills.
The log carts are a nuisance wherever
they are permitted to go on the public
roads.

rural mail delivery system in this county.
