A Great Roast!

Over ton of Arbuckles' Ariosa
Coffee is roasted at a time, in large
revolving cylinder, which drops the
coffee through heat again and again
until each bean is uniformly roasted.
No other coffee is in s1ffi-
Gent demand to afford such
scientific and perfect prepara-
ton.
The sales of Arbuckles' Ariosa
Coffee exceed the sales Of all osher
packaged coffees combined, and this
scientific roasting, which no other
coffee can afford, by its very 1nagni-
tude, reduces our cost to a minimum.
and enables us, with our other aelyant-
ages, to give better value in Arbuclles'
Ariosa Coffee than is possible for any
one else.
Arbuckles' Ariosa Coffee is
the cheapest good coffee in the
world, and the best Of all for
you.

Aged Lady Injured.-Mrs. Henry
Rundquist of 1909 Sixth avenue
mother of Mrs. c. I. Josephson, was
severely injured yesterday morning in
a fall on the stairway at the home OF
Mr.. Josephson, with whom Mr. and
Mrs. Rundquist have been making
their home during the last four months
while their own new residence a few
doors distant was being erected. 1t
is Mrs. Rundquist's custom to arise
early, and since she has been at the
Josephson home she has regularly
raised curtain of a-window at land
ing of the stairway. She was inten;
on raising this curtain yesterday and
the theory is that after completing this
detail she stepped forward under ths
impression that she was standing on
the landing. In reality she was OF
one step above the landing and the
drop was more than she had calcu
lated on. She fell heavily to the floor
and her left thigh bone was broker
at the hip.

We understand that the contract for
completing the road to Sardinia which
was awarded to Davis OF sumter
county has fallen through. Mr.. paws
was here last Saturday to hle his bond,
hut he claims the reason he would not
file bond, and take the contract, ne was
informed the supervisor was without
fnnds for the work, and that he coulo
only be paid in county certlncaIes
which to Get cashed would require
shaving. This road to Sardinia mas
cost the county a large amount OF
money and will cost a great deal more
In cur judgment there was no necessity
to build the road, it would have paid
better to have taken the money ana
labor used on this road and fixed up the
old roads, but it is TOO late now to take
backward step, the road has oeen
started and it should be completeo'
The commissioners are right IN con-
tracing it out, but where is the money
to do the work? There is none in the
county treasury now and no provision
made for any in the near future. The
county already has deficit OF about
$1,000 for a road engine which is useless
and for which no provision for payment
has been made, this with about SOC
more of back Indebtedness will neces
state an increase in the tax levy 0.
one mill, and if the road to Sardinia i:
to be completed it will need another
mill, making an increase in the levy O
two mills.

There is a law which makes it a mis-
demeanor for persons to kill fish with
dynamite, and yet this season OF the
wear. the violation OF this law has be-
come so common, at first started by
white men who profess to be respect
able and law abiding citizens, and the
example set by them has been followed
BY negroes, until the streams will soon
be barren of FISH. Last Friday night
about 400 dynamite cartridges were ex-
ploded in Guido Lake, and thousands
of fish destroyed. The same practice IS
at Princes pond, one of the best fish
ing grounds in the country, and yet
there is no prosecutions. II the Law IS
to be trampled thus ruthlessly, how
can good citizens marvel at other viola
tions of Jaw. These violators OF the
fish law should be prosecuted and it is
the duty Of good citizens to have the
law enforced. 1t is not right to have
the fish in the streams slaughtered IN
this uanner and every man be he white
or black, should be taught the lesson
of law obedience. The good citizens
should organize themselves into clubs
and see to it that the law relating to
the sale Of dynamite and the destruc-
tion of fish is observed, and in order to
help out the cause, any person furnish
ing US with the proof, we will go be-
| fore a magistrate and swear out a war.

have liquors shipped IN to them and
that the liquor is sold and used, the
people have to contend with the an.
noyance and the revenue goes out OF

Young Men Beware:

In this age OF fast living. and sensa'
tionalisn1. where al manner Of pleas
are invented to cover up wrong
where scientists have discovered that
the human think-boX is liable to get
tangled and snarled for any and al!
kinds ot provocation. and where the
tangled condition has gotten tho pos,
SCISSOR of d balled-up brain into trouble,
! it is called ''brain Storm" sufficient
excuse 10 be turned loose: we have SO
accustomed ourself by the reading OF
these things as happening i'll the large
towns, that we are prepared TOR any
kind of social upheaval, but when the
town OF Manning has become the VIZ
tim of 4 social sensation, we must con
feSS that it takes away our breath even
had we ius, .Iunchett on 4 limber9er

Who ever heard, who would have
dreamed that staid old Manning, It's
very atmosphere lodened with purity,
should ali at once havea social sensa-
tion sprung upon il! If the town of
Manning has reputation for anything.
it is for it's excellent morals, its free
dom from smart sets, no gay Lothario's
who give girl-pie dinners with vaude-
vile attachments, absolutely nothing
to shock the most scrupu!ously plous:
in fact. because We do not take TO the
modern ideas of society we are looked
upon as slow, going ata drowsy pace, as
SLOW as Philadelphia, but change Is
about to take place. we are on the eve
of n social outbreak that will staSger
the country with its astonishment, the
multitude will raise its hands IN nor
ror TO learn that our exemplary tcadl-
tions are blasted by one fell blow at
perhaps thoughtless moment when
Cupid took shot at two souls in this
town.
The matter has leaked out IN 4 mys-
terious way and has reached certain fem
mime sources which, therefore makes 1t
legitimate news item. On or about a
certain evening of last year, when the
leaves in the forests were turning
brown, a young lady and q young gen
tleman of this town gave each other
their promise true. and swore by the
star-lit heavens and the moon above
that they loved each other and would
marry. The couple are pro -clnent, the
lady from one of the best families, and
esteemed for her womanly qualities,
and the man popular, prominent and
prosperous, but as the young lady
claims, is tickle, he's firt, he toys
with woman's affections and he is rs
callous as steel. and his promises are
nil, she has brought suit against this
gay deceiver for breach of promise,
and the evidence promises to be start
ling. The young man, jealous OF his
reputation and out of respect for the
GRAY hairs that has sprinkled his Van
Dyke. claims that he is a victim OF
conspiracy, that his reputation and
his fortune is at stake, ne will defend
the suit at all hazards and has en-
ployed two lawyers 10 defend him The
attorneys representing the. lady Will
prosecute the case vigorously and are
confident they will secure verdict OF
damages.
On account of the heavy docket at
our next term the lawyers retained by
the plaintiff and the defendant will ap-
ply to his Excellency the Governor, to
order a special term of court for Clar-
eudon to force this case to trial about
the 18th day of April.
