Mr.. ". f. Jenjlinson reached home
from New York, Philadelphia and Bal
timorc last Sunday morning, complete
ly worn out from his labors in selecting
goods for this seasons business. To
buy for such u large business. takes
mental and physical labor, and from the
way goods are rolling in, Jenkinson
must have put it in. He claims he has
his competitors skinned on prices ana
that when he gets rested up, he VIII

The trustees of the Moses Lew Me-
snorial Institute, 1T her request, ha!e
released Miss Mary Stewart bfunso!'
as one of the teachers to accept 4 posi-
,ion in Sumter. Miss Brunson 1ofhlet-
I " taught in Sumter, and wheh net
parents moved to Manning she appleo
and was elected for this school, and
when the last session closed she was
reelected, but since then, her parents
moved back TO Sumter, and on that ac-
count she requested the release. Her
successor will be selected in a few days.
We would direct attention to the
new advertisement OF ". ?. Hawkins &
Co.. in this issue. This firm has made
every arrangement to handle horses
and mules. and they will wait until the
weather is cooler before going into
market, but they have on hand and
daily receiving fine stockof wagons.
harness. etc. W. 2. Hawkins & Co.,
do not sell a shoddy article covered
with paint. Their wagons and buggies
are of standard build and everything
they handle is first class. The public
can feel assured of honest treatment at
their hands.
We have been informed that the
county commissioners will soon publish
q statement OF facts relating TO the
things for which they were criticized
bv The TINES, and the grand jury.
One of the commissioners told Us that
they would make a complete and salts
factory showing. We shall await the
statement, with the hope that when it
is made we can give to the board the
eXoneration they crave. There never
has been any dishonesty charged or
even intimated, unbusnessllke methods
and extravaganza was the charge, and
we are sure if the commissioners can
show the charges were not merlted. 1t
will be pleasure to us to set them
straight before the public.
We understand that in all probability
there will be nothing done to remedy
the trouble with the heating facilities
in the school building this season, and
we hope it is not true, because itwould
be a great mistake to again subject the
teachers and children TO the danger
and annoyance of a poorly heated and
smoky building. There were severa!
DAYS of the last term that the school
had to be dismissed, on account OF the
smoke, and at other times the rooms
were SO badly heated that away from
the stove. water would freeze on the |
floor. Such condition as this IS
dangerous to health, and our authori-
ties Should remedy it. We understand
the remedy lies in tearing out the
present flues and making them larger,
and it will cost about 500. Asa mat
ter of safety and humanity spare not
few dollars but 60 ahead and put the
building in healthy and comfortable
condition. 1.-THE town authorities Will
not do this very necessary work, then
we say the trustees will be justified IN
having the work done anyway and pay
for it out of the school funds, even II 1t
has TO cut the session short. Its better
70 have short term in comfort than |
long term with chances Of pneumonia.
