Bunsen has explained the periodical
eruption Of geysers in such a satisfac-
tory manner that doubt is no longer
possible. A cavern filed with water lies
deep In the earth under the geyser. and
the water In this cavern H. heated by
the earth's internal heat far above 212
degrees, since there Is a heavy hydro
static pressure upon II arising from the
weight of water in the passage or nat
ural standpipe that leads from the sub
terranean chamber to the surface of
the earth.
After n time the temperature of the
water below rises, so that steam is CIV
en- Off in spite Of the pressure, and the
column In the exit tube Is gradually
forced upward. The release of pressure
and the disturbance of the water then
cause the contents of the subterranean
chamber to flash into steam and expel
the contents of the exit pipe violently.
These eruptions may also be provoked
by throwing stones or clods OF turf into
the basin Of the goyser. The water In
the cavern below is disturbed by this
means.

The Only Of1icial Paper Of Winnesheik
County and the City of Decorah.
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1902-09-10

Let us get down to business and think
about something Of material value to
all of US. The people have every rea-
son to feel thankful for the way Provi-
dance has watched and taken care of
them this year. The health OF the
country has been comparatively good,
we have had no pestilence, nor any
contagion, the seasons in most sections
we're excellent. and the crops good.
There will be an abundance Of food for
man and beast, and the money crops
does not Justify complaint. The tobac-
co farmers have coined money and the
cotton farmers are realizing fair prices.
These blessings should caution Us to
think that those of US who are burden
ed with debt should now while we can,
take eff as much Of the burden as poss-
ibie. and those Of US who have cash
should remember, that money hath
wings" and if not carefully managed 1t
will fly away and leave US stranded on
the shoals of dependence. Our advice
to every farmer is, to take his money,
pay his debts, and if he has any money
left, buy for cash his next years sup
plies. He can right now make arrange
mentS for his guano and groceries for
future delivery, and if he will 90 it he
will. next spring, rise with the lark,
and go to work whistling merrily, but
if he throws his money away fool
ishly, he will have to give lien on his
crop, mortage on his mule, and before
his crop is in the ground it will al
ready be owned by the man who furn-
ished him. Look ahead, and lay in
your supplies while the money is yours
If you want to feel the benefits of free
dom and independence. By all means
pay your debts first, because your cred
itors were the bridges which carried
you over surging stream safely, and
then take your ready money and strike
the best bargains for the next year.

When we wrote series of articles
last year and the year before, about
the Importance Of our merchants be-
coming aroused to the necessity of do
ing something to stimulate our cotton
market, some Of them were disposed
to think harshly of us, because they
regarded our editorials calculated to
iniure the town. We differed from
them, and took the position that agita-
tion would have good effect and in
stead of hurting it would help. The
result has proven the correctness Of
our position. and today Manning in
stead of having one active cotton buy
er, it has four, and each one buying on
the market from anybody who has cot
ton to sell. The prices very frequently
excelling that of Sumter, and as rule
equaling Sumter. We pride ourself on
being somewhat responsible for this
desirable condition, and we propose to
keep the good work agoing until Man
ming will be noted far and wide as the
best market for both cotton and tobac-
co in the State.

Before the tobacco crop is all sold,
what's the matter with having "a
Tobacco Day" for Manning? The
growers of the yellow weed are peo-
pie who are constantly on the lookout
for the best place to carry the product,
and if Manning will get hump on
herself there is no reason why we can
not bring here 100000 pounds in one
day. With such an amount upon our
market, buyers from all over the coun-
try would come here and the competi-
ton would be lively. It would indeed
be a race where only the heaviest
purse can win. AS an attraction to in
duce people here from all sections OF
the country and adjoining counties, a
street carnival with all manner of
amusements could be put on. 4 thing
of this kind will be money-maker for
our merchants, and in fact, every body
else. To do this however, everybody
in the town, men and women, white
and colored, all must join in and push
the project. They all must enter into
it with enthusiasm, and begin talking
it up from the moment the scheme IS
agreed upon.
If this suggestion meets with approx
al, we can assure the business men that
all in our power whether it be adver-
Using, personal labor, or money con-
tribution or all, will be done to make
the occasion a grand and never-to-be-
forgotten success. Whatever is to be
done must be put in operation at once,
as the crops is fast being sold. Ina
Gin Z parade OF wagons bringing 100,
600 pounds of tobacco, headed by a
brass band. committee of ladies and
gentlemen on horse back, and banners
and flags flying, wouldn't it be sight
TO inspire additional perseverance to
win trade for Manning? Then let US
make this picture real, and everybody
hurrah for tobacco carnival.

we cannot afford tc supply a newspaper

Our Market.

We want to see this town boast of q
market unexcelled, and the way to
have it 50. is for every business man
here to pull together with view to
draw people here. Some Of our mer-
chants are doing their part, while 9TH
ers are not: the ones dragging behind
want to get the benefits of the enter
prise of the others, but if they would
put aside their short sightedness they
would see the far greater benefit to all
of the merchants. if all would go earn
estly together to make it an induce
ment for the farmers to bring their
products here. The first thing to-
wards making a market solid is to
inspire confidence, and the next to give
full market price. and sell goods with
a money saving view. The market
that has for its motto Confidence,
Full Value and Competition, is bound
to 60 toward and bring in trade.
In this day of active commerciallsm,
where the dollar is rolling down hill
and the human race is chasing after it,
the people are posting themselves, and
to-day are better post on the values OF
merchandise, and the products of the
soil, than at any period in their history,
and this being the case the drone in
business, must get out of the way to
give room for activity. We hope that
every merchant in this town will make
some effort to induce our railroads to
give this place freight rate the equal
of other points: it can be done and will
be, if our bushes men will go at it
right. There is no reason or justice
for Sumter to have advantage over
Manning on cotton rates, and this i'm
portant difference has beer permitted,
by our merchants quietly submitting
to it. without a r1urmer. If they will
take hold of this matter IL business
way, 60 or send a representative to the
railroad commissioners to present this
matter, we believe the farmers would
get the benefit of the ! added to their
price of cotton, and that additional IS
so much more cash to be handled in
the purchase of goods.
The farmers want to come here. 1t is
as natural as for ducks to go to water,
but human nature is the same the
world over: where the greatest induce
ments are, there is where you will find
the people who a"e wanting to buy
goods and if our business men will act
with intelligence they will not allow
another market to draw our trade.

town was benefited thereby. The
Peoples Warehouse had upon its floors
about $4,000 pounds, and would have
had more but some got impatient to be
unloaded and would not wait, cause
which will be remedied in the future
as the management is determined to
not let anybody go away for want of
prompt handling. The floor of this
house was an inspiring sight, the piles
OF yellow weed representing piles of
golden coin, and also representing the
toll and sweat and, enterprise of our
farmers. The sale begun about mid
day and the prices ran from 6 to is
cents per pound. Everybody was de-
lighted and as long as the product lasts
the Peoples Warehouse will be popu-
lar. Why? Because the management
are trade builders and is not expecting
to get rich in day.

A telephone message from New Zion
came to Manning yesterday to Sheriff
Davis notifying him that house be-
longing to Mr.. a. 0. Hudson was burn
ed, and asked him to go over there with
hounds to trace the perpetrators Of the
deed. Sheriff Davis did not have the
dogs, and tried to get some from other
places but did not succeed. In the
afternoon he received another message,
and he with Deputy Heriott went over.
The house that was burned was unoccu-
pied, and there is no doubt that it was
set on fire.

We want our readers and the friends

confer special favor upon the paper
they wish to see prosper, if they will
buy from those who are offering to sell

to sustain newspaper, is through its
advertising patronage, and where the

cripple their paper by withholding
patronage, it is a poor rule that does
not work both ways, and the compli-

words patronize the advertisers of The
