The Judgment of Years.

a significant bit Of wisdom, to be
pondered over by the very young,
whose griefs and disappointments seem
so tragic, was that uttered by Mrs.
Dolly Madison when she was over
eighty years old and near her death.
Her life had been fortunate and beau
tiful not only because circumstances
had proved kind to her, but from the
brightness and buoyancy Of her tenn
perame1t.
She l-rbored no bitterness over past
experiences, but life had taught her the
unimportance Of most trials which
loom so gigantic in approaching.
Not long before her death one Of her
nieces went to her for sympathy in
some slight trouble.
Ny dear" she said, edo not trouble
about it. There is nothing in this
world really worth caring for. Yes"
she repeated, looking intently out Of a
window, 81 who have lived so long re-
peat to you that there is nothing in
this world below really WORTH caring

Editor The Manning Times:
Business has been good the past
week. Inman & Co., have placed Mr..
8. C. wilkins to represent them at
Sammerton and he and DR.. Anderson
who represents Sprunt & Sons, have
both given good prices for The cotton
that has been put on the market.
The Prescription Drug Store has
secured the services of Dr.. G. w. Nc
Gregor, who is permanently with them
to assist Mr.. Capers.
Or. D. O. Rhame has given out the
contract for new brick store on the
lot adjoining Capers & Co. This store
when complete will be quite an addi-
tion 70 the town of Summerton where
the business seems to be centering.
Keels' new grocery store has made a
good start and offers many catchy at
fractions.
The pioneers Rogan & Avant are en-
joying the fruits OF their good judg-
ment and hard work.
Summerton is not on q boom but its
rapid development, and from natural
causes, it now looks like live town,
and is destined to become the centre Of
trade for the splendid farming country
that surrounds it. The whole COM
munity was greatly shocked at the
death of Mrs. Burgess, relict OF the
late DR.. Thos. L. Burgess who died
after an illness of eight days.

Messrs. c. J. Rollins of Stokes Bridge
and W. A. James Of Bishopville organ
lied on the 18th inst. Grange at the
Gamble school house with % members.
The Grange will have their next meet
ing on the evening OF the 26th inst.
I would warn the membership OF the
farmers organization against taking in
those who do not farm solely as means
of livelihood. No man who is interest
ed in an oil mill should be permitted to
join, and the taking into membership
OF men who run farms as a side line,
with MERCHANDISING, milling and other
avocations as their principal business,
will injure the organization. Let us
have farmers organization pure cna
simple. This organization is for the
farmers only, not for merchants and
spectators.
1 hope when the convention meets on
the 26th resolution will be adopted
which will make it clear that no doctor.
lawyer, merchant, mill man, editor or
stock dealer is entitled to member
ship. If this movement is to succeed it
must be solely for farmers and by all
means not for trust men. 3.

The present outlook is for
cotton to go still higher, on ac-
count of the shortage in the
crop. F'rosts are reported in
Texas, louisiana and Georgia,
and the supply for the mills is
much shorter than was at first
anticipated. n Notwithstanding
this condition we would not ad-
wise any holding, because, with
the present high prices, the
grower cannot afford to take
chances: especially if he is in
debt. Get rid OF all incum-
brances first, supply the next
years wants, and then if there
is any surplus, chances might be
taken to hold.

One of the greatest problems
to solve in this State is that of
labor, and every landowner
should interest himself in the
immigration movement. We
need for the development of our
lands the sturdy Scot. the Draw
ny Irishman, and the calculating
German, and if our public men
will devote more thought and ac-
ton in this direction and less to
raising impossible issues, We will
turn the tide of immigration in
this direction.
