in the Fork at the Harvin family burn
ing ground.
The Citadel cadets will go to st:
Louis in a few days. and after stay OF
two weeks will return Tor the graduaJ-
inc exercises Congressman George >.
Legare will be the orator 1or the occa-
sion. Everett Iseman OF Manning is
one of the graduating class.
There was shooting scrape in Char
lesion last Monday night in which j..
Patrick Carroll killed George Caufeld.
The trouble grew out of Carroll accus-
| ing Canfeld of reporting his place as Q
blind tiger to the constables. Judging
from the name we think Carroll was
raised in Clarendon in the Paxville sec
ton.
Mr.. S. L. Krasnof is perfecting him
self in profession OF undertaking. He
attended the convention OF undertakers
in Sumter, and will soon take a course
of lectures in embalming. krasnof
proposes to give much of his attention
to this branch of his business, and Mr..
John W. Herriott will have the dlrec-
ton OF funerals in his charge. Ihls
concern can be depended on for prompt
and efficient attention.
The legislative ice is broken, and we
this week have the announcement OF
Hon. R. S. DcsChamps for reelection.
Mr.. DesChamps received many hand
some compliments in the last session
for some of his work in the interest OF
the farmers, and among those who was
attracted by his efforts was ex-senator
NJ. c. Butler. who wrote a nice letter
for the press endorsing the DesChamps
bill.
One of the most unique methods to
attract notice is the one adopted by
that enterprising druggist DR.. D. Q.
Rhame of Summerton. He IS adver,
tising as business proposltlon, ana
not for his health. In this issue read
ing of his well worded advertisement
will disclose an excellent chance OF
earning one of Waterman's famous
fountain pens, the best fountain pen on
the market; all that is required is to
write a few words great many times
upon postal card. This is fine prac-
tice and we suggest that every school
boy and girl make an effort to win this
valuable prive. Read DR.. D. O. Rhame's
advertisement and win the pen.
Now is the time for our business men
to begin to look about them to induce
our farmers to bring their cotton and
tobacco to this market. Last season
we gained a reputation which VII!
stand US in good stead this season II
those whose money is invested Will De
awake to their interests. The mer-
chants should begin correspondence
with cotton exporters and manutactur-
ers with a view to having upon this mar
ket active buyers. Nomarket can induce
products unless the competition has sucn
an activity as to force prices. Farmers
work hard for what they make, and
because of the active competition last
year our market was greatly benefited.
An organization has been effected to
afford faculties for people of moderate
means to own homes: by purchasing
property and paying for it on a rental
basis. This organization is known as
The Manning Building and Loan AS
sociation. The initial meeting TOOK
place last Thursday evening at the
BanE of Clarendon: stockholders rep
resenting a majority of the shares sub
scribed were present. The following
directors were elected: }. A: Weln-
berg, E. S. Erwin, F. O Richardson,
J. ". Rigby and Louis Applet. At a
meeting of the directorate the next
morning J. W. Rigby was elected Pres
ident, Louis Applet Vice President and
J. A. Weinberg Solicitor. The cleo
ton OF Secretary and Treasurer was
postponed until Monday in order to
give the directors an opportunity TO
consider applications. At the Monday
meeting Miss Hattie G. Nelson was
elected secretary and treasurer.
The executive has been called to-
cether bv the county chairman, and at
this meeting there should be something
done towards getting the club rolls ID
some kind of decent shape. There
should be a definite rule adopted Ior-
bidding the placing OF names upon club
rolls between the first and second prl-
maries. There should not be the snspl-
cion of fraud, and the commltte can, II
it will. adopt rules which will prevent
fraud. We suggest that a resolution
be passed, requiring all CLUBS IN the
county to file with the chairman copy
of their rolls by a certain date, then
when these roles are in his hands let
the committee 60 over them with care,
and whenever they find name upon
more than one roll, strike it from all
except the one nearest to the home OF
the voter. In the town clubs where
they find names duplicated strike them
off all but one. Then after this course
has been pursued, the committee can
employ a typewriter and return to the
respective clubs revised roll certified
to by the county chairmrn; this certl-
fed roll to be the guide for the mana
gers in the primary. we merely
thought out these crude suggestions
hoping the committee will be enabled
to improve upon them, that our pol!tll-
cal machinery will not continue with
the label of suspicion. Everybody ad-
mits there is something radically
wrong, the only question is a remedy,
and If an earnest effort is made by the
committee the remedy will be found.
