Just complaint by the citizens, who feel

laws in the two items l have explained
above. These may not be valid reasons,
but they should be pointed out and
considered so that a remedy may be
applied before this or any other section
of our county may think it has / griev-
adce sufficient to effect change so
radical as the one that Is said 10 be IN
contemplation.
The splendid work done on the
swamps of Black river, Is evidence OF
what can be accomplished by the chain
gang. The people of this section con
cede that the work there was properly
the first to be attended to. and are as
much satisfied at its completion as those
who enjoy the use of those highways.
Now that this has long since been fin
ished. we had hoped that before this the
supervisor. would have given his at
tention to roads in other sections of the
county equally dependent on his exer-
tionS. 1t is absolutely necessary for
frequent visits from this official for
more reasons than one. The public
highways have been encrouched upon
in some instances to such an extent
that two vehicles cannot pass each
other without one of them going over
plowed ground. This should be pro-
hibited-I mention this matter of de-
fective highways, and dwelt somewhat
on it, because it was assigned as one
reason for the contemplated change,
and with no railroad accommodation.

from the county seat to travel across

aid in securing a good schedule, our
combined efforts may accomplish much.

latter's frantic efforts to get light.

Editor The Manning Times:

It's been a good while since l had
time to let YOU hear from this part OF
the world. The fellows around here
amt making no big blow, but they are
going ahead, scratching for another
crop. I am mighty glad to see that
nearly all the farmers are making bet
ter preparation and are going to fix off
the corn crop better than usual this
year. 1t takes year like last year to
bring we wool-hatters to our senses and
if last years experience in short corn
crop. and bad crop year generally
will have the effect of making US plant
more grain and less cotton, it will be a
god-send. the greatest blessing we have
had since freedom. And now just look
ahere. Brother Wool-Hatters, let's
make some corn this year. l know that
bad seasons often cut US out OF full
corn crop, but bad seasons never has
and never will cut US out of as much
corn as the lack of little manure and
elbow-grease. A crop with plenty OF
stuff to it will stand more dry wether.
more wet wether and more OF anything
else that can come than crop without
ANYTHING to help it along. AS a gen.
eral thing we farmers have been Just
letting the corn crop take care of itself,
but that won't do any longer. We will
never be worth anything and will al
ways be toating around the tail end OF
creation and will always be the dump
inc ground for the Western corn spec
dlator if we don't make our own corn.
We can do it. Why don't we do it:
Let every farmer take FIVE acres OF
good land, plant it in corn and work
and manure that one piece OF corn every
time it needs it and see what differ
ence it will make in your corn pile next
fall. Manure all your corn If you can,
but there amt many that does that. so
that's why l say manure FIVE acres.
There amt a farmer in Clarendon
county but what can make enough corn
to do him if he will only try right.
Brothers, if we can and won't. what
ought to be done to US? Just let US
alone and don't pass sentence, judge,
them Western fellows II do that.
All US farmers is in the same boat
and there amt one in fifty that will
take good. sound advice, if it's free:
but YOU Just let some smart fellow go
aronnd through the country offering
good advice to farmers and charge a fee
for it. How many would bite? Every
one that bites ought to be told, go
home, mind your own business and
make plenty of corn"
We have new enterprise in our COM
munity this year in the shape OF large
saw mill plant, planning mill and dry
kill owned by Messrs. D. NJ. Bradham
& Son. They bought the old Pack
place on the eastern banks of Beer
Creek and at once proceeded to bust
ness, and business with them fellows
means an enormous quantity of push.
Amt it wonderful what good size pile
of push and energy with little money
scattered along can do. From the way
them fellows is saving logs, and scat
tering cotton seed meal and ascid
around, that dead poor old place amt
going to be a dead poor" place much
longer. Listen out for a new town by
the name of ''Bradhamville" to be in
corporated in the next legislature. II

The following is one Of the many
stories told about Charles James Fox.
the English statesman and orator:
Mr.. Hare, envoy to the court Of Po-

friend and indeed man Of very sim
liar tastes. They were each the OBJ

Fox, looking out Of the upper window,

The chairman of the National
Democratic Executive committee
Senator J. K. Jones, the man
who Senator John L. McLaurin
refuses to be led by, has been
defeated for reelection in the
Arkansas Democratic primary.
Chairman Jones was made the
leader for the Democracy by the
combined votes of Democrats,
Populists, and Silver Republi-
cans, and by his hypocritical pro-
fessions against corporations,
trusts and combines the party
was twice beaten. Jones and his
versatile political comrades used
their power to discredit Senator
McLaurin with his people, be-
cause he has the manhood to fol-
low his own honest convictions
and not be carried about in the
vest pocket of a leader whose
politics is questionable. Nc
Laurin refused to follow Jones.
and now comes the Democrats Of
Arkansas and by their votes in a
Democratic primary refuse to
again follow Jones also. These
white Arkansas Democrats by
their action, confirm McLaurin's
opinion of Jones, and so will the
Democrats in every State, if thev
are not buncoed out of the privi-
lege of giving an expression. If
our coming primary is free and
fair we will then know what the
people think.

and freight cars are wagons. The
British always say station instead Of
depot, and in that they have the bet

Yours truly,
THOMAS WILSON.
President.

Now, why cannot a few public
spirited citizens of Clarendon
come together and make this
scheme a success. It can be
done and will be done if we will
only give the matter proper con-
sideration. There are some pep
pie constantly talking about
furthering educational interests,
and if these people do not take
some active interest in the mat
ter of getting Clarendon's chill
dren to Charleston, then we
shall ever believe their interest
in the children is a lip-service,
and not in response to the dicta-
tions of the heart. Fellow citi-
zens: here is an opportunity to
lend aid to a worthy cause. This
is an appeal to you to do some
thing which will leave it's mark
for good on the rising generation.
This is to urge you to unite your
purse strings and contribute to a
cause for the bettering of the
coming manhood and woman
hood, who are to fill our
places in time. If we can
get sufficient responses we will
not only contribute in cash, but
we will make a personal appeal
to the railroad authorities for a
special train at a very low rate.
