Editor The Manning Times:
Mr.. S. C. Turheville OF Turbeville
spent Saturday in Manning.
Mr.. II. O. Jackson of Elloree and
Lawyer Woods of Manning spent few
days last week at Turbeville. Tee
visits of these Young men is giving u
certain old widower-one of these has
beens you know, much anxiety. He is
very much interested in the school at
Pine Grove, and he has no hankering
for these young sports trespassing in
these parts. That fellow Jackson has
the appearance of kidnapper and the
widower is keeping sharp watch to
protect the charming teacher.
Miss 1aude Gregory of this place
spent last Sunday at Turbeville.
Misses Lily and Eva McElveen spent
a few days down here.
The people of this section second
Hon. Geo. r. Jones' endorsement of
THE TINES editorial about bonding the
county for a new court house.
Your determination to unload dead
heads from The TINES subscription
lists meets with the approval of every
honest man who appreciates your
efforts to give the people first class
newspaper. The man who takes: ofense
at you for striking his name from your
lists because he has not paid you in
over year. should be a happy riddance.
Let such 60, and keep your lists filed
up with a class Of subscribers who will
pay for what they get. Ir this section
I have no doubt there are many be-
hind, a majority, behind not from q
lack of ability to pay, but through care
lessness. They would not do without
THE TINES, and if you cut them off,
they will get back on, and that quick.
Mr.. Editor, I see where the: :legisla-
.ture is in session, but I do not ss::, yet
see anything of consequence from Clar-
endon's delegation. Friend DesCnamps
I believe wants a law passed to require
the public schools to be furnished with
registers, thing the SCHOOLS nave had
for years, but then he may think two
laws providing for the same thing can
do no harm and then bis name gets
into the newspapers. He also wants to
put a stop to the practice of dispensers
receiving presents from liquor houses,
which is all ri sht as far as it goes, but
Why dees:beuot extend the courtesy,ac-
commedation or. favor-business, to the
Representatives also. I am told that
those members who drink are always
kept supplied with bottles OF coartesies
and those who do not drink get boxes
of cigars: or:ryarious ':courtesies.''
Therefore I..think this bill to inject
morals into a dishonest carcass would
be better. if it scooped in the whole bus
iuess,
IS our friend Green locked up in the
dispensary committee room? He does
not seem to make any effort to get his
name in the newspapers, as one who
introduced bill," and in this I think
Green is displaying wisdom. What is
the use of loading the books of the
House, or the table or whatever you
call it, with a lot of tommy-rot just to
get your name in the newspapers?
think it would be better to wait until
there is something to be CT general
benefit
/. T see where Captain Bradham wants
to make some change in the pensions,
something about reducing certain
classes. I must admit from the little I
see OF it in the papers I do not fully un-
derstard it. Does he mean to take the
classes as they now stand and change
the amounts so as to admit more people
to the distribution Of the appropriation?
l wish be would send letter to The
TINES to explain his measure. I know
when he speaks to the bill he will tell
a number of pathetic incidents that
happened in the. war during and after
his service, but what his constituents
want TO know is, what will be the prac-
ticai effect of the measure he is cred
tied with introducing. 1
The guano movement has begun-over
here and our farmers are beginning
their operations with good cheer.
I think Salem will be well repre-
sented to hear the famous Sam Jones
on the night of the 10th of February.
Many would hare attended the min
strels but the weather was too tough.
