A very great many years ago the
Duck family belonged to the very
SWEETEST society, and every one looked
up to them a very great deal and felt
it quite an honor to be on their ac-
quaintance list. Young Mr.. Drake, the
youngest son, was the pride of the
whole Duck family, and his brothers
and sisters told him so many times
that he was the handsomest and most
stylish man in the neighborhood that
he finally believed it and grew just as
conceited as he could possibly be.
The Goose family belonged to So
ciety also, and there was a constant
strife between the two families to see
which would be the more fashionable.
Mr.. Gander was the youngest son OF
the goose family and all his brothers

It begins to looks as if the trustees OF
some of the schools are at last waking
up to the enormity of the school chart
swindle. This paper hammered on the
matter until it got tired and nothing re-
suited from it, but now there seems to
be some awakening on that line. The
last session of the grand jury was
charged with the investigation Of these
claims, how far they went we DO not
know. nor do we know what effect their
recommendation has under the recent
Act relating to these claims. If 1t is
not locking the stable after the horse
has been stolen, we hope the matter
will be sifted well before the taxpayers
are made to pay these fraudulent claims.
Mr.. E. D. Hodge of Alcolu told US last
Monday that the charts for his district
were never received, and yet, not
withstanding his protest, part OF the
money has been paid out on the claims.
He claims that he as trustee enJolned
the payment on the ground stated, and
that his protest has been ignored. We
will state in justice to the county treas
urer, that he has paid no claims, but
those which were properly drawn on
his Office, and those relating to the
charts held by others, he is being held
harmless by bono of Indemnity. Major
Levi held several claims, and he gave
Mr.. Bowman his personal assurance
that if the claims were not held to be
good he would reimburse him for every
cent collected on his claims. There
fore it is seen that the county cannot
lose a cent if the claims snould be ad.
judged unlawful.

Can't do Without it.

We were very much amused to hear
that our friend to whom we alluded
last week as having parted company
with THE TIMES becausedit criticized
Senator Tillman, was in town last Sat
urday and going about hunting up a
copy of The TINES. He was offered
other papers, but no, he wanted THE
TINES, that certain politician of the
'has-been'' variety, called his attention
to something in it and he wanted to
see it. The paper was secured for
him and he sat down and read every
line of it; when he finished he said
that he had been taking that paper
ever since it started and hated to give
it up as it was by far the best county
paper ne ever saw, but its editor ought
to write to suit his readers and not
himself. We presume the politician
referred to-, had motive in calling
special attention to our editorial: per-
haps he imagined such an article from
US would breathe new life into his
nostrels and wake him out of his po-
litical trance, but regardless of what
our future may be, if we know the peo-
pie of this county, he might as well
give up the thought of ever again
winning political prizes. When the
ball starts we think we Will be able to
show the nimbleness of the minds OF
some politicians, and also something OF
more importance to the people than
our individual views on national ques-
tions. The people are wide-awake and
if there is anything they do hate, it is
hypocrisy. They have.more confidence
in an outspoken man with whom they
disagree, than one OF these kind that
make their opinions suit the occasion.
By our unhidden conduct, we have lost
two subscribers, but our subscription
lists continue increasing all the same,
10 the extent that we are sending out
more papers now than ever, and every
one of them to bona-fde subscribers who
anxiously read the paper. The TINES
does not remain in post Office uncalled
for. nor do we send it to dead heads.
We have no clackers to boost this pa
per and run down others, but we sim
plv force ourselves to the front by
Sheer merit. If THE TIMES editor was
running his paper with view to en-
hance his political ambition he would
get astride of the fence and have no
opinions. but he is not built on those
lines. He has opinions and the man
hood and honesty to express them re-
gardless of the political effect. We
do not expect all of our readers to
agree with US, it would be wonderful if
they did, but we do expect them to be
liberal enough to grant US the righ to
do our own thinking, and as it is our
business to let the people know what
we think we will always express our
views, without regard to consequences,
for we despise one of those creatures
who are sail things to all men,"

MIR. Robert Blahely, formerly book

Mr.. Robert Blakely, formerly book
keeper at the State Dispensury, now
representing a starch company, was in
Manning last Monday, and told as,
that with all the racket being kicked
up by politicians, the people, wher-
ever he has been are going right
along attending to their own business.
EIe says that when the time comes the
people will go to the primary and vote
for who they please, and the result
will be a surprise. The day for the
political whip is over, and every man
will vote as his judgment dictates re-
gardless of what this or that politician
may think. There is another thing he
says, the attempt to monkey with the
party pledge so as to exclude white
men of divergent views will prove
abortive and the politician who tries
that game will be crushed out OF ex-
i<tance. The people want fair play,
free speech. and free action, with an
agreement to abide the decision of the
majority.

We have reasons for believing that
our editorial has had effect enough to
bring the matter of better railroad
facilities to the attention of the proper
authorities who, we are assured are now
considering the advisability Of putting
on an early morning train from Flor
ence, coming around by the way of
Sumter and connecting at Lanes with a
train to reach Charleston about 10
o'clock, then let the same train con-
meet at Lanes with the north bound
train which should leave Charleston
about $50 o'clock, that would give the
people from here several hours in Char
lesion and get back home by early bed
time. or if they wished to remain in the
city they could have several hours the
day they arrived, that night and all
day the next day without having 10
spend two nights as now. The matter
is being considered by the Coast Line,
and if they can see their way clear to
accommodate US they will do so, is the
personal assurance we have.

The darkness was of the sort which might

passages to the opposite side of the palace,

girl had drawn the curtains behind her, so
that she was entirely isolated upon the bal

to the letter and made sure that no faint

But. in spite of the intervening room and
