In the first opening of Oklahoma to
settlers in 1889, the editor Of this paper
was amcrg the many seekers after for
tune who made the big race one fine
day in Aoril. During his travelling
about and afterwards his camping upon
his claim, he encountered much bad
water, which. together with the severe
heat. gave him q very severe diar-
rhoea which 1t seemed almost impossi-
bic to check. and along in June the case
became so bad he expected to Gle. One
day one OF his neighbors brought him
one small bottle Of Chamberlain's Coiic,
Cholera and Diarrhcea Remedy as a

while he was rolling about on the

minutes the dose was repeated. The
good effect of the medicine was soon
noticed and within an hour the patient

feel grateful. The season for bowel

Wedding Bells.
Editor The Manning Times:

Editor The Manning Times:
The Presbyterian church at this
place was the scene OF a beautiful we'd
ding on last Wednesday evening the
3rd inst, when Mr.. Walter D. Epperson
and Miss Leonora 8. Lawrence, daugn-
ter Of Nh Jas. P. Lawrence OF Fulton,
were united in matrimony. Before the
church doors were opened the friends
of the bride and groom elect had begun
to gather, and at 8 O'Clock, every avail
able foot OF space in the building was
occupied.
At the appointed time Miss Leila
Geddings, beautifully attired, entered
uDon the arm Of Mr.. Nap Broughton,
bv whom she was escorted to the organ.
As the first strains of Mendelsohns
wedding march foated out on the air,
the ushers entered followed on the left
bv the bride on the arm of her father,
and attended by her sister Miss Decca
E. Lawrence. and on the right by the
groom with Mr.. Alex McGill his best
man. The bride and groom met at the
altar. where Rev. W. l. Porter in the
beautiful ceremony of the Presbyterian
church made their lives one.
The brides costume was white organ
die and neil, and that OF Miss Lawrence
white lawn. The groom and his walters
wore the conventional black.
The ushers were DR.. G. W. B. Smith
Messrs. Ralph DesChamps and Arthur
Brailsford. The church was tastefully
decorated with evergreens, flowers and
potted plants.
The popularity Of this young couple
was attested by the large crowd that
attended the wedding. and by the num-
Der OF handsome and useful presents OF
which they were the recipients.

profits of the county dispensaries go to
the towns and the other half to the
county in which it is located, and the
profits from the State dispensary is By
special Act turned over to the State
Treasurer, and it is paid out for public
school purposes by warrant of the
Comptroller General, paying first to
those counties where the average schco!
term is less than three months: and
then the balance, if any. prorated to
the several counties according to the
enrolment OF pupils in each county.
So YOU will see that taking $1,000 a
year from the dispensary to help build
the iail does not interfere or take one
cent from the public schools, as "oul"
appear from the reading OF yonr arSl-
Gle. The dispensary profits as we W.
derstand is increasing every year an"
we thought it a good idea to maze u"
d:spensary help pay for new jail Is II
furnishes q goodly number OF persons
for this institution. We doubt ve:!E
much the wisdom of putting al OF the
dispensary profits to the support OF pao-
lie schools, as you suggested IN yGur
article to the school trustees OF the
county, and we believe that a Dill intro
duced 10 this end would have an uphill
business in the General Assembly.
The plan adopted for building new
jail we believe is on the right line. and
if YOU knew of a better one you should
have given the county the benefit of it
when YOU were in the General Assem-
bly,. | am satisfied, Mr.. Editor, YOU
have not studied Or posted yourself
fully on this matter OR you would not
write as you do, making it appear to
the public that the Act authorizing the
building of new jail would take money
from the school furds.
Very respectfully yours,
G.. NJ. DAVIS.

stead of Manning shipping 5000
bales a season, our shipments
should be at least 10000. We
have friends all over this county
and we know many Of thelo have
confidence in what we assert IN
these columns, they know we
have always advocated the inter-
est of the farmer, to do other
wise would be the basest ingrat-
itude on our part, we want to
urge our farmers to bring their
cotton here, we want to be able
to advise them this is q good
market, we want to say to them
there is no collusion, and they
will get full market value for the
crop not made in the shade, and
on cushioned revolving chairs:
but beneath broiling sun, from
a plant noistened with the
bloody sweat of a people, with
out whom, this town would oe a
forest.
We want our business men to
understand now, and in time,
that unless something is done to
help this market, We will not
stand for it. Organize now,
show a disposition to do some
thing to help yourselves. let the
people see you are trying to Sc
cure a freight rate SO that you
can pay as much for cotton as
| elsewhere. Do this. invite buy
ers here, make arrangements to
buv for mills. and wipe out the
idea that Manning is a monopo-
lized town. Pay the farmers
what their cotton is worth-its
full market value and they will
be satisfied. But says one
I'most of the cotton is under
lien" We do not care if it is,
the lien merchant can we'll afford
to pay full market value, because
he has already made his profit
on the goods he sold, and a man
is not forced to sell his cotton to
the one holding the lien. 1t is
his right to sell his cotton where
he can get the most money, he
can pay his lien in cash.
Manning is the county seat,
and should be the main shipping
point, but it is not, and we at
tribute it to the il-take-care-
of-the- -hindmost-policy of our
merchants; they have not here
tofore sought protection for their
patrons, and the result is David

ships as much cotton as the en-
tire market at Manning. 1t is
time action is taken, it is right
that our farmers should be pro
tected, aud the merchants whose
interests are linked with the
farmers are the proper ones to
take hold.

Hon. c. M. Davis Replies.
Editor The Manning Times:

Editor The Manning Times:
I was somewhat surprised at your ar
ticle in the last issue OF your paper crit
icising the county delegation for max
ing provisions to build a jail, when al
most every grand jury presentment for
the past eight or ten years stressed the
fact that the old jail was disgrace to
humanity and shame to the county.
When our delegation came together to
discuss this jail matter the sole ques-
ton was, How could it be done so as to
erect a suitable building at as little cost
to the taxpayers as possible: as you
know that it was utterly impossible to
provide funds for this purpose without
levyiug small tax. We therefore
made provisions to borrow the bulk of
the money from the Sinking Fund Com
mission at a per cent. rate OF interest
to be paid back by the taxes arising
from half mill levy of four equal an
nual payments together with 1000 to
be taken from the county's part of the
dispensary profits for four years. You
are mistaken when YOU say the levy
was for FIVE years and certainly must
have not read the Act carefully or you
could not have made it five years.
Now had we provided for raising the
money by issuing bonds, the plan you
advocated sometime ago in your pa
per, I doubt very much if they ever
could be foated at per cent. interest,
which is the rate to be paid to the
State Sinking Fund Commission, as
now provided. There is no one who
knows better than yourself, had your
plans been adopted Ito issue bonds the
people would have to be taxed some
day to pay off these bonds together
with accumulated interes5, and it was
the opinion Of the delegation that this
county has had sufficient experience
with bonds in past years, when she was
top-heavy with debt to steer clear from
this bond business.
Now in regard to what you say about
putting the dispensary profits to the
support of the public schools, you GER
tainly have not posted yourself on the
dispensary law and it may be possible
that YOU helped to make the law as it
now stands, to wit: One-half of the

Will Hold Summer Carnival.

Waterloo. May 26.-The citizens of

mer carnival and to this end have
closed contract with the Patterson

for a six days carnival, July to 13,
inclusive The show Is guaranteed 10
be strictly moral in every respect ana
the idea has met with the approval OF
a large majority of the retail mer-
chants of the city, The carnival Will
follow the summer race meet and the
Chautauqua assembly.
When it was first announced that a
carnival was to be held. 1t brought
down a storm Of protest, from the W.
C. r. U. and kindred organizations
but since the character of the carnival
has been fully established by correspon
dence thru these organizations with
oth.s towns where the attraction has
appeared, the opposition has Waned,
and 1t is believed the carnival Will meet
with the approval Of all and VIII De
a great success.
