The closing exercises of the Moses

Marion Noise of Sumter.
Clarendon is making streneous efforts
to establish brick industry. Mr..
Richard Belser is having the clay OF
Summerton examined, with q view OF
putting up a large brick plant on the
Wilson s. Summerton railroad.
The Rev. W. N. McPheeters. D. D.,
Professor of Ole Testament Literature

locical Seminary, will preach in the

DR.. I. NJ. Woods of Sardinia met
with a great misfortune last Sunday
NIGHT. at the hands of what is believed
to be an incendiary, whereby his barn
and stables were destroyed by fire. he
lost two mich COWS, corn, forage anc
farming implements to the value OF
about $500, and no insurance.
A few weeks ago the public cotton
weieher Question was freely discussed,
but we do not hear anything OF 1t now.
will public weighec add anything TO-
wards attracting more cotton to this
market? If it will, then by all means
one should be had. 1t will not do to
wait until cotton begins to be market
ed. If we are to have a public weigh
er, steps in that direction should be
taken now.
Which is more benifcial to the peo-
ple's interests, to use ghe dlspensary
profits for the education OF the chill
dren. or building modern jail to make
comfortable, contract breakers, cattle
thieves and other violators Of the Law:
The tax levy has been increased, and
$1,000 a year for FIVE years is to be taken
from the dispensary profits to build a
iail. This may be good Judgment, put
we do not think So.
Our business men cannot do better at
this season OF the year, than by getting
together and make an effort to secure
an EQUITABLE freight rate for cotton.
We believe if an organized effort IS
made Manning can secure rate that
will make this market to compete
with others. There is no business
sense in quietly permitting our cotton
to 60 to other markets. Every bale OF
cotton sold elsewhere means loss OF
the sale of goods.
Mr.. Joseph Pominville of Saltwater,
Mimi, after having spent over Sz,OoO
with the best doctors for stomach trou-
bic. without relief, was advised by has
druggist. Mr.. Alex. Richard, to try q

Liver Tablets. He did SO, and is a well
man today. If troubled with indlges-
ton, bad taste in the mouth, lack OF ap-
petite or constipation, give these lab
lets trial, and you are certain to De

The friends OF Prof. J. F. Thomason
of Greenville, formerly assistant prlncl-
pal of the Moses Levi Memorial Insti,
tute has been elected principal OF the
Bishopville graded school. Professor
Thomason is fine teacher. Manning
regretted to part with him, and only
because of the plea OF promotion. dlc
this generous people give him up: Inc
Bishopville people have not only Sc
cured good teacher, but man whose
impress on the young will be worth
many times the salary ne will receive
Mr.. Thomason is a gentleman and any
community so fortunate to get his SER
vices is indeed to be congratulated.
The seasons have turned backwards,
some people think, because October
flowers are blooming in May, and cock
leburrs are matured. There are some
who regard these things as ominous
and one man told US that he feared II
meant a long continued drought, that
crops would be burnt up and great suf.
fering would result. Another took ar
opposite view: he said fall vegetation
blooming in the springtime was an in
dication of late fall, big top crop o.
cotton and double quantity OF every
thing else to those who worked anc
STAYED away from the fish ponds ane
the dispensary.
Mr.. Robert Alderman Of Alcolu came

we could only have one of these ma
chimes we would be happy. AS Mr.
