A Manning Boys Wonderful Career.

We have a letter from Mr.. Marion
NJ. Clark, Manning born boy, now a
prominent citizen of Los Angeles, Cal
ifornia, and who has demonstrated
what can be done if there is the right
kind of stuff in the boy. Marion Clark
lis a son of Mr.. W. H. Clark. a nephew
OF Mesdames Louis Appelt and P. B.
Thames. Messrs. S. j. Clark. H. D.
clark and DR.. Plumer Clark. He was
connected with newspaper at Lake
CITY, about the time of the postofice
trouble at that place, and when the
Spanish-American war broke out he
enlisted and went to the front. later,
he Joined 1he regulars. and after some
service. contracted tuberculosis, was
placed in a hospital in the city OF
Washington and his arm was saved
from amputatlon through the kindly
interest OF the late Mrs. Mckinley,
who became acquainted With Marion
while visiting the sick. He was sent
from Washington to government hos
pital in Arizona, and finally was honor
ably discharged. The climate in the
far west agreed with him, and MS
health is fully restored. He secured
employment with the Los Angeles
street railway, and worked his way ur
to be superintendent, a position he
was holding when the South Carolina
press association visited that city, and
that party received courtesies from
him. The young man has an ambitiou:
nature. and now ne is President of e
Crescent Gold, Silver and Copper Com
pany, capitalized at Sl,0O0,000 He
writes US ''we have very fine mining

Tax Increase q Bitter Pill.

The increase iu the town tax levy Is
not relished by some who assess their
property at prohlbitlTe valuation
everywhere except on the tax books.
We are not in ! position to know
whether council is justified in making
this tremendous Jump in the tax levy,
because the financial report gives such
meagre information. but it does strike
US q raise Of Two and one-nulf times as
much as we have been paying IS
jumping it some, and might be pre-
vented by little financial head-work.
II council would publish an itemized ac-
count OF receipts and disbursements
quarterly, showing the source. and
amount of receipts and for what, to
whom the money was paid the people
would be in better position to swallow
the medicine. AS it is, they are max
ing ugly grimaces and whispering all
manner of things for someone else to 40.
some want to get up mass meeting TO
protest against the increased levy, and
employ an expert to audit the town 5
books for the past ten years. but those
wanting these things 60 aboatltln thelr
sock feet, and do their murmurlngs IN
an under breath, lest those in authority
might hear them This class OF dlssat-
istied own large amount OF the prop
erty in the town. but instead Of com
ing out square and make an open call
mass meeting to protest, and to inves-
tigate where the large income OF the
town for the past ten. twelve, or four
teen years mas gone, they want US or
some other than themselves to take the
lead. This newspaper has on two occa-
sion called for mass meetings in the IN
terest of the towns citizens, appointed
the time and place, and both times we
went to the place at the appointed d time
to find no one to meet US, not, even one
of those who were having grievances;
therefore this paper does not feel
called upon now to furnish the balm TO
soothe those who are anticipating great
pain at having their legs pulled by the
taxing power Of council.
