Buy Cotton Direct.

There are complaints among the
farmers about Manning'S cotton mar
ket, based upon the fact that the buyers
here representing exporters are IN
different about buying from the farmer
directly. They seem to prefer buying
from the merchant. The farmer sus-
poets he is not getting full price for his
cotton, because he believes the merch-
ant will not bother with it unless he
can make profit, and the fact OF the
buyers taking up at the close OF the
day. the cotton bought by the merch-
ants, creates the impression that there
is an understanding between buyer and
merchant.
There are several buyers here who
should bring an active competition;
there should be no private understand
ings, the market is injured if the idea
prevails that a full price is not paid,
and we believe it will be to the interest
of farmer and merchant and buyer to
have free, open market, and let the
one paying the most take the cotton.
AS it is, our buyers are not in competi-
ton with the merchants, and when
they do bid on bale of cotton. they
underbid the merchant, and later in
the day buy the same cotton from the
merchant. If these conditions are true,
it is not helping our market and should
be corrected now in the early stages OF
the season.

Open the Schools.

The trustees of the various school
districts, except Manning and Summer
ton, are hereby advised to open the
white schools in their respective dis.
tricts, Monday, October 2nd, and the
negro schools, except Manning, Mon
day, November 18th.
Our purpose in fixing the above
dates. which we think will readily be
seen and appreciated, is to avoid hav-
ing both classes of teachers present
their claims for approval and payment
the same day.
If it is found mpracticable to start a
school at the time above given, and the
postponement is for four weeks it will
serve the same purpose.

our School Opens On the 18th, Instant.

Professor J. c. Daniel, Superlnten-
dent OF the Manning Graded Schools,
has arrived, and we cordially welcome
him and his wife to our town. we 1eel
sure from what we have already heard
of this gentleman that our town mas
been fortunate in securing his services.
He has had several years experience II
the work. and wherever he has oeen
the authorities urged his remaining.
He is making school teaching his LIES
work. and his mind and heart is devoted
to his profession. But Professor Daniel,
let him be ever so well qualified. cannot
make a success Of his work here unless
he receives the cooperation OF the
trustees and the patrons Of the school,
and we urge upon our trustees to re-
member their Office is not merely TO
select teachers and pay them on, put
they have duty, as well as has the
principal of the school and his assist
ants. -.
We want to see this school reach the
standard a town of this size merits,
and we can have it if the school is
thoroughly disciplined. We do not
mean that all OF the discipline must be
spent upon the scholars, the teachers
should come under it as well, and If
Professor Daniel makes the right start
by requiring the teachers to teach, and
not merely hear recitations: and then
REQUIRE the children to study at home
and at school he, will add much TO his
reputation as an educator, at the same
time be doing an invaluable service to
this community.
The Moses Levi Memorial Institute
has not made the progress 1t should
have, and the fault was, in our opinion,
lax methods. The children were not
made to work. they would be given
lessons requiring bnt a few minutes to
learn and then their books would be
cast aside. They did not have to work,
they simply went through the little
task of preparing for recitation: This
resulted in many being advanced who
should not have been advanced, be-
cause all they had to back up their ao-
vancement was the recitation marks
and not because of having their studies
thoroughly grounded.
We hope new life will be Infused
into the school. and all of US should
give Professor Daniel every encourage,
ment in his work, and make him feel
that be and his wife are not among
strangers, but among friends who
gladly welcome them as a valuable
acquisition to the society of the town.
