We have not ont, off all of the delin-

quent subscribers, because there art
some who we believe are perfectl.
good, and will pay US as soon as the.
come to town. Those we did cut OF
were a class that have been here since
we gave notice, and they did not SHOW
disposition to pay this honest debt. VI
the 18th, day of November we VII
strike from our lists those VINO are II
arrears over year, and especially those
whom we believe will not pay.
Tobocco continues coming to the
People's warehouse, and the growers
are so well pleased that they say the
tobacco crop in this county will be
doubled next wear. There are as tlne
tobacco lands in the Fork section
and also in the Deep Creek section, az
there are on Puddin swamp, and they
should be utilized for this money max
ing crop. Tobacco is the thing fol
light lands. A crop that will turn out
an average of S150 per acre beats cot
ton all hollow, and this is what tobacco
is doing. The farmer who plants to-
bacco does not have to plant but few
acres to make more money than ne
viii make on a two horse cotton farm.
The Avant Mercantile Company at
Summerton find their business so large
that they are forced to make an ad-
dition to their store. They will put on
$50 feet more space, to enable them to
handle the increasing trade. This
concern advertises in The TINES and
one of the COMPANY told US that they
are selling goods to people IN all sec
tions of the county, and some VINO
must pass through the county seat to
Get to them. We do not doubt 1t, be-
cause when a concern advertlses oats
at 10 cents a bushel less than they can
be bought elsewhere, it is bound to
make people hitch up teams and come
back loaded up. Avant's oats are talk
ed about all over the county. How
did the people know it: Why by read
inc their advertisement in The TINES.

been exceedingly fortunate the past
week in having had with them that
distinguished educator, and clear
headed student, Professor 81. n. Sny-
der. President of Wofford College. on
FRIDAY evening Professor Snyder de-
Iiyered an address in the Institute
hall. 1t was an educational aGoresss
purely. On Sunday morning he de-
the Methodist church, and on SUNDAY
evening he delivered another educa-
tional address. He gave us three aG-
dresses on the same subject and each
one from a different view, and each
one carving with it a Wholesome
lesson. The first was mans relation to
the school; the second, the schools re
lation to the church and the thlro,
s:The man OF tomorrow" These ao'
dresses were an education to those who
had the good fortune to listen to them:
Professor Snyder is not only a man OF
letters, but he is a deep thinker-a
student, a builder Of men who have a
purpose to make grander citizenship,
a purer religion, and a brighter future.
We regret that we were unable TO Sc,
cure a synopsis of the addresses, and
we hope this will not be professor
Snyder,s last visit to Manning.
