CHRIST CHURCH CELEBkATION.-CON
 TINUED FROM PAGE EIGHT.
 part: This old hill town is distin- gufshed for the long passionate of that eminent divine, Dr Bellamy, who rounded out a half century of Chris tian labor here. You are now round morrow we are to offer up our thanks to God in the Holy Eucharist. It is my duty and pleasure to express my congratulations to this parish and to suggest that we let the anniversary hour tell the great story that God may be with us as he was with our fathers Brethren we must not rest in the ac- complishment of the past. Privilege in the past involves present, effort. Some of us are content with the back ward look. A genuine conservation is to be the safeguard of true progress. The church of God must manifest growth. We are not to cling to a petritied ecclesiasticism which has no relation to growth. These precious things of the church are permitted to us in trust We are stewards for the sake of our fellowmen. These hill towns meet many things to discourage them, but they must hold on today for the incoming tide of people who are to make their homes on these hills. The lesson we have to learn is a lesson of responsibility for the trust com- mitted to us. We ought never to be content with any mere parOchialism. We ought to remember what is to be possessed for Christ. Let us all be awake as never before to extend the kingdom of Christ.
 THIS IS A GREAT MISSIONARY AGE,
 Right at our doors there remains l work to be done. See to it that those | who go out of these hill towns are honest, pure and true. The church o1 God ought to make its influence felt for righteousness. There is mission l for us in all the social movements o1 the time. If this be day of increas ing lave for humanity may we not alsC look for an increase of faith? We must not be afraid of enthusiasm, provided it means what enthusiasm ought t( mean, Gods spirit within us. So the lesson would leave with you is paro chial responsibility for the present ant an individual responsibility, that Go( may be with us as He was with ou fathers.
 The hymns sang at the evening serv ice were: "The Son of God goes FOrtl to War" "Fling out the Banner, Le
 it Float" 70 Son Haste Thy Mission
 High Fulfilling,' 70 Brothers, Lif
 Your Voices.'' The singing of tn choir boys from Watertown was great
 ly enjoyed.

DEATH OF WILLIAM HUNTER.
 The death of William Hunter at his home in Animosa, Ia., came very un- expectedly, though he had been in i'll health many months. He leaves a widow, Mrs Amanda Peck Hunter, and one daughter. Miss Mary.

Editor The Manning Times:
Mr.. Editor:
With one half of our people, white
and black, rocked and tossing upor
their beds with burning fever, it is q
! most opportune time and an all impor.
tant question to ask, how is it we have
no resident physician?
From Pinewood to Summerton via
Pamela is about fifteen miles; from
Paxville to Summerton via Silver it is
about the same distane; from Manning
on our east to the Santee river on our
west is twenty-five miles, and in all
this large compass of country, the''gar-
den spotn of Clarendon, the home OIL
wealth, culture ond refinement, no doc.
tor locates, for he prefers the conven.
fences held out by the little hamlets OF
Summerton, Pinewood and Paxville in
the matter of schools, churches, ice and
veal outlets. And underlying all Of
these reasons, is another potent of ac-
tion, the mileage, the marrow of ply
sician's practice. To get the distance
of Summerton from US FIVE miles means
the neat little bill for mileage alone, ,oi
two dollars and fifty cents, with ply.
sician in our midst about three miles
limit of practice our mileage bill would
be one dollar less on every visit. With
hundreds and hundreds of doctor bills
made during this epidemic W b a
a saving to the poor, many of whom
know today they can't pay their
rent and lein; but expect to pick out
the doctors bill and with that one dol
lar mileage less, it means just two days
of hot September sun less. Another
kick, number two, is precisely akin to
the above and equally contagious. 1t
is the custom OF these village doctors
when they come to the country pa
tients to adopt the city style OF carry
ing no medicine, but only pencil and
prescription book, and after eXamln-
ing the patient, he coolly writes a pre-
scription and tells you TO send 1t to
Summerton, a distance OF fYe miles,
and does not propose to pay you cent
of mileage for your mule and plowman
to trot back over the same road over
which he has just travelled at a cost Of
fifty cents mile to you. The outcome
of it is that there is continual stream
of mule and Niger going to Summer
ton. A planter, working number OF
negroes has to take care of the sick,
and to be called upon in busy seasons
to stop plow and lose a half days
work that is perfectly uncalled for if
the doctor who could so easily have
done so had brought his medicine. l
can remember the olden times when
doctors practiced on horseback and
carried behind them saddlebags that
would weigh Is pounds, contain
inc their medicines. And in addition

WORK WITH MIGHT AND MAIN.

AS an incentive for more ef-
fectual work in the rural schools
prizes of 500 each are offered
by the South Carolina Woman's
Association. The educational
problem of this State is one
which is taxing the minds and
hearts of all good men and wo-
men, and we know of nothing
which is in need of a more fos-
tering care. The white people
of the State can no longer afford
to be indifferent to the matter of
education, tits of the most vital
Importance that this, the main
feature of our advancing civili-
zation, shall receive the most
enthusiastic and serious care,
and we believe that if the people
in every community would make
their local school paramount, the
problem of education would soon
be solved.
The prizes offered by this as
sociation Of noble women should
be an inspiration to every par
ent in the rural sections, because
of the effort to spread the cause
Of education where opportunities
heretofore has not been had. We
hope to see the day when the
country school will be the equal
in facilities of the town school,
and it can be if those directly
interested will manifest a dispo-
sition to encourage with their
might and means, the patriotic
souls who are daily laboring for
them. The 5 c h 0 ols in the
towns are not in the con-
test for prizes, it is for
country schools alone, and we
sincerely hope to have a good
showing made by the rural
schools in Clarendon. Teachers,
much depends upon you, it is to
you the parents look for advance
ment OF their children, and if
you will do your full duty it will
have a strong influence upon the
parents to urge them to do their
duty. We herewith reproduce
the prize proposition, and ap.
peal to the parents and teachers
to labor and win.

THE WISE MAN OF THE WEST.

Those who had the good for.
tune to listen to he:;Great Com
moner' last Wednesday, heard
a most stacesmanlike utterance.
William Jennings Bryan, the
twice defeated candidate of the
Democratic party is today head
and shoulders above any other
man in that party, because he Is
greater in defeat than the poll,
tician is IN victory. The speech
he delivered cpon the university
campus was not only a grand
display of oratory, but it was an
educational lecture which dem
onstrated clearly to receptive
minds that Colonel Bryan is one
of the greatest leaders of men
America has ever produced. We
confess our inability to do full
Justice to Bryan's great deliver
ance, but we can freely state
that it was the greatest and most
effective speech we have ever
listened at. To find politicians
of the Bailey, Williams and Till
man type throwing cold water
upon the utterances Of so great
a man, is in keeping with our
modern Democratic statesmen
whose political salvation is tuc-
MOL and strife, whereby the
masses are kept in q. state Of IN
certainty and confusion. The
very men who are now critislz-
ing Colonel Bryan, because of
his belief in government control
Of railroads, should be the very
last to set up antagonism, be-
cause their own entry upon the
political stage was heralded by
the Ocala platform, which not
only demanded money stand
ard, but insisted on government
ownership of railroad and tele-
graph lines. The Ocala plat
form was theAlliance platform
ZIG to l or bust" and when this
was the shibboleth Of the South
ern and Western statesmen, all
of them were looking for a
light in the West" Tillnan
went galvanting all over the
wild and woolly West to capture
this light to show him the way
to the white house, but when he
discovered that he stood no
chance for a presidential nomi-
nation it dawned upon him
the light he saw in the West was
a jack o-lantern, and ever since
he and the other statesmen of
his mould have been finding
moats in Bryan's eyes. The diff
ference between Bryan and the
noisy statesmen who would OBJ
struct party progress, is, Bryan
unselfshly gives to the country
what he has studied out to be
wisdom for it's future welfare,
and the others simply give to
the country that which appeals
to the thoughtless, is plausible
and popular. One is statesman
ship, the other is demagogry.

ENFORCE THE vAGRANCY LAWS.

Atlanta, are without doubt the
results of very lax enforce
ment of the law of decency. The
authorities are responsible for
the recent race riot for the rea-
son they permitted the vilest Of
dens to exist. and it was in the
neighborhood of these dens OF
iniquity that white women were
assaulted, and the Indignation Of
the community aroused. Had
the city authorities forbidden
these pestiferous microbes, ,drlv-
en- them to the prisons the mo-
ment one showed it's head, there
would not now be any necessity
for innocent people to be sleep
ing upon firearms. AS it is in
Atlanta, so it is in many other
cities in the South; loafing ne
groes and white men and women
are tolerated because there
seems to be no one to take hold
officially, and the private citizen
holds aloof because of the un-
savory notoriety it will bring
him into. We have not got to
go into a big city to find dens of
iniouity permitted by the non
action Of the authorities; the
small towns in the State have
them also, and to them a
large part Of the crimes commit
ted can be traced.
The State has upon its statute
books a law against vagrancy,
nearly every town has also an
ordinance on the same subject,
and yet go where you will, you
will find hanging about these
restaurants and cool drink shops
a gang of loafers, male and fe-
male. These creatures spurn
work, labor cannot be had, and
yet these trifing beings are
permitted to loiter away their
time in idleness. Is it any Won
der then that crime results?
"Ldleness is the devils work
shop" and as a result of it a
large portion of the nameless
crimes are committed. These
doless creatures are made of
flesh and blood, they must live,
if not by the sweat of their faces,
it must be by the craftiness of
their minds, and the nimbleness
of their fingers. They must be
forced to honest toll as a pro-
lection to those who do live by
honest means, and it is the duty
of those put in authority to see
to it that there shall be no va
grancy- We can safely guaran-
tee, if our city and town authori-
ties will turn the screws on, and
keep them onlthe vagrancy laws,
the various crimes now so COM
mon will be decreased hun
dred fold.
A crime is committed in Sec
ton that arouses the indigna:
ton and makes the blood boil,
the people become frenzied and
seek vengeance, in their mad
ness they trample upon the law,
but if they will think they will
agree with US, that it is not the
law at fault, but the fault lies in
the non enforcement by those
entrusted with it, and the utter
disregard of the oaths many ju-
rors take. What this country is
sadly in need Of is q purging of
our jury boxes and strict ac-
countability of our officers of the
law. Then we will have fewer
white or colored women assault
ed. fewer murders and less steal
ing. No race riots, and labor
in field, forest, and kitchen will
be better and more plentiful, and
the two races will live in har-
mony.
