Governor Heyward's message
to the General Assembly, which
convened yesterday at noon is a
we'll written expose of the States
financial condition, and his rec
concentrations are sound and
businesslike. There is no at.
tempt to deal in glittering gen
eralities, nor is there anything
in document of a sensational
character. It is a plain, frank
and intelligent business state.
ment of a condition that exists,
and what in the opinion OF his
Excellency, should be undone,
changed, amended or enacted: 1t
is a good State paper, one that
should be read in every school
house in South Carolina.

TIE d.. Chandler Clothing Company.

The clothing business of D. j. Chan
dler, which has been in existence for
more than ten years, has been incor-
porated, and will be known on and
after January lst, 1904, as "Hhe D. J.
Chandler Clothing Co."
David J. Chandler and James H.
Chandler are the incorporators and
stockholders. This is the oldest cloth
ing business in Sumter, or in this sec
ton of the State, having been first es-
tablished by Mr.. D. J. Winn, an uncle
of the present proprietors over fifty
years ago, and has always received a
large patronage from the people OF this
and adjoining counties.-Sumter Item.

Notice..
To the Farmers of Clarendon County:

To the Farmers of Clarendon County:
The Harmony Sub Protective Union,
at their meeting On Monday the llth,
decided 10 call mass meeting of the
farmers of Clarendon county, to be
held in Manning on Tuesday the 10Th.
We issue this call for the following
reason. From the best information we
can get the fertilizer companies have
combined and agreed to raise the
prices of fertilizers from 10 to 20 per
cent, thereby taking from the farmers
of Clarendon at least $4,000 of hard
earned money. And they have also
decided not to sell any fertilizers direct
to the farmers, but to place the sale of
all fertilizers in the hands of the mer-
chant, thereby giving them the privi.
lege to charge extortionate prices, and
robbing the farmers more.
J. E. Kelly was told in very
boasting way by one of the largest
merchants in Manning, on last Satur-
day, that the farmers could try to
make arrangements with the fertilizer
companies, but he would guarantee
they could could not do it.
1t is bad enough for US to have to
give what they ask when we buy any
thing, and take what we can get when
we have anything to sell. But when
it gets to the point where they tell US
from whom we must buy, we think it
is time to push off the top rail, show
our heels and raise cain enough to let
some people know that we have some
rights, and are at least little better
than slaves.
Farmers don't have your brains
knocked out before you get your eyes
open. come out next Tuesday and let
somebody see that YOU are men, The
time has come for US to 90 something.
and we have the situation in our
hands. Will we take advantage of it?
Come Tuesday January the 10th.

The Manila Times dated Nov

The Manila Times dated Nov
ember 25th, has just been re-
ceived at this Office, and it's lead
ing editorial is based upon the
verdict in the case Of James Il.
Tillman charged with the killing
of N. G.. Gonzales. This Philip
pine editor takes the position
that "a common law has crytal-
lied in the South, respecting
homicides that result from GER
tain provocations that is often
pointed out as an evidence OF
lawlessness and disregard of the
sancity of life in truely Southern
States" If he had said a rotten
jury system has become crys'
talized in South Carolina oy
which criminals with political
backing can escape punishment,
it would be the truth and moth
ing less than the truth. There
is no sentiment IN South Carroll
ma which excuses any man re-
sorting to cowardly murder to
avenge a grievance brought on
by the exposure Of a leprous
character, and when such char
acters escape the gallows it is
only because of influential con-
nections, and the corrupt manip-
ulation Of our impotent jury
system.

Dear Sir: There are several ways OF
cheating in milk. An old-fashloneo
way is to water it. Nobody waters 1t
now. A better way is to take out the
cream-rich milk with the cream taken
out is as good as poor milk with It's
cream all in.
But we needn't go into particulars.
You don't rob your milk and your
customers. :,
Paint is as easy as milk to cheat with.
Good paint is as rare as good milk; ior
human nature is much the same in milk
men as in paint men.
You are just and true with your milk;
so we are with our paint. Devoe lead
and-zinc is twice good as mixed paints:
There's twice as much butter in It..
Mr.. ]. T. Ladd, Cheraw,S. c., writes:
''When Mr.. Evans painted his house
with Devoe, he figured on how other
paints covered and had enough left to
paintthree large rooms. He was so
pleased that he has used Devoe on two
other houses"
Yours truly,

WATER WORKS.

It will be inferred from our
last issue that we are opposed to
the town investing in water
works, we are not; we are how
ever. opposed to the expenditure
of thousands of dollars Of the
peoples money, and then only
have a fire protection for a GER
tain part Of the town. Our un-
derstanding is, that it is pro-
posed to erect a standpipe in the
business portion, on the ground
that we are not able to have a
have a pipe to protect the entire
town. We take the position,
that the owner of the humblest
hut in the town of Manning is as
much entitled to public protec-
ton as is the man who owns an
immense store. more so, because
the owner of the hut, has his all
invested, whereas the owner of
an immense store is probably
well insure, and has good ac-
counts which emanated from ms
store: that in case Of fire would
keep him fromwant. If Manning is
to have water works all right,
but if the area about the court
house square is alone to be pro
tected, then we say let those
owning that property pay tor It,
and do not impose on those who
are not to be benefited. We
own property in the proposed
protected quarter, also IN that
portion which is proposed to be
left out, we are perfectly willing
to pay our share for a water
tank for fire protection without
having a tax imposed, but if the
town will put in a system Of
water works which will reach all
parts, then we have no opposi-
ton; the town is practically
helpless in case Of fire. But as
we said last week, water works
is not the only thing needed
against the ravages of fire, we
need an organization. VIII
those who are urging a system
of water works guarantee to
maintain a good fire fighting or
ganization? How many of them
will 60 into a burning building
at the risk of their lives? What
good will water do without pee
pie to manipulate it?
The income of Manning is~ssfa
fcient to lbssd the town for
.gtErf works. We received last
year from whiskey alone, S., ,293-
IS, ard we favor taking the bulk
of this fre-water income, to ex-
pend in installing and maintain
inc a first class fire protection
for the whole town, but we pro-
test against the expenditure Of a
nickle to put in a system just for
the business part of the town,
and reiterate. what we have said
before, let those in the business
portion come together and pay
for their fire protection, we are
willing to stand our share, If the
town is not able to give fire pro-
lection to all.

Crutally Tortured.

a case came to light that for persist
ent unmerciful torture has perhaps
never been equaled. Joe Golobick OF

tism and nothing relieved me though l
tried everything known. I came across
Electric Bitters and it's the greatest

A Sad Death at Wighan.

On Friday morning last, at 1890 Miss
Pawnee PEBBLES, daughter OF Mr.. and
Mrs. John L. PEBBLES of this town sue
cumbed to the ravages OF pneumonia
and departed this life All that medi-
cal skill could do for her did not seem
to lessen the attack. She was only sick
a few days.
Miss Pawnee was the second daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. John L. PEBBLES:
She was about sixteen years of age and
at the time Of her death was a student
of the Wigham High School. She was
esteemed very highly by her teachers
and schoolmates for her kind and low
ING DISPOSITION toward all of her associ-
ates. No one wore a brighter nor had
more pleasing face when meeting a
friend than Pawnee. Her parents,
brothers and only surviving sister all
loved her dearly and why should they
not, for she was an obedient and faith
full daughter and loving and affection
ate sister.
was only few minutes after the
dawn OF christmas morning when this
dear girl breathed her last. Christmas
was N cant for day of happiness but
this year it was day of sadness to the
entire town. We cannot understand
why the Almighty gave 10 this young
olrI broken life but if we love and
trust the Lord we must remember that
he doeth all things for the best.
