New York, Aug. 19.-The Metropoli-
tan Street Railway company, under
Receivers Adrian H. .Joline and Doug
las Robinson, is being operated at a
loss of $S,140,00O year. This as
founding showing was made yesterday
when the receivers filed their first re-
port with Judge Lacombe of the
United States district court The
statement covers the period from
Sept. 25. 1907, when the receivers took
control of the property, to June 80,
1908, or nine months and five days.
Since the receivers have taken hold
the statement shows that the Metro
politan has defaulted on rentals OF
subsidiary lines operated under leases
and agreements to the extent of 81.
720.113. In addition other rentals foI
which the Metropolitan is responsible
have been defaulted. but these are in
court, the receivers having asked foi

faults of the Metropolitan for the full
year amount to $7.9SS,30S

Temporarily.

Springfield, H., Aug. 19.-With the
departure for home of the 1st and 4th
regiments today and the beginning of
the special grand jury's investigation
OF riots, this city saw the first step
taken toward the resumption of nor
NAL conditions. Tomorrow the 3rd and
9TH regiments leave for their homes,
thus reducing the force of militia on
duty to 1900 men. The 1st and 4th
regiments. together with the Sth, are
scheduled TO participate in the regular
army maneuvers at Fort Benjamin
Harrison at Indianapolis early next
month.
Riots still Possible.
Riots are still threatening certain
portions of the community. and il is
practically certain the cavalry will be
retained in the service of the state for
some time. The 1st infantry left on
the Chicago & Alton at 10 today. This
avoids Kankakee, where one member
of the regiment bayoneted Earl Nelson
while the command was enroute to
Spring gfield.

No official of the state was willing 10
acknowledge that the change in route
had been made because of the trouble
there, but it is broadly limited this was
one of the determining factors in the
| selection of the route to be Travelled.
The 4th infantry, whose companies are
scattered in the principal towns in the
southern end of the state. left Spring

! trains.
Effect AnNiously Watched.
The effect of the news that the
troops had begun to depart is anxious
ly watched by the authorities. Threats
as to what will happen when the troops
left have been numerous, and there is
a wei defined fear that lawless indi-
yiduals who are not yet apprehended
may endeavor TO renew the disturb
ance.

THE TINES has been yer, lenient
with it's subscribers. Some of them
are several years behind, but the pa

policy will now have to be changed,
as the postof6ce department says all
papers not paid for cannot be sent
through the mail free within the
county as heretofore, but will have
to be fully prepaid with stamps
affixed. We cannot afford to pay
the postage that would be charged
and paste stamps on papers of those

US more than we would get from such
subscribers
We will be compelled to drop the
pames of all subscribers who do not
pay up by the first of April, which is
the limit set by the Postoffce De-
partment. We would advise SUB

hope we will have the cooperation OF

among them physicians, who believe
that dry wells in a community are a

In this day and time no residence is
considered thoroughly complete If it
has not the modern conveniences which
require a sewerage depository, but II
these cOnvenier"es are ! menace to
health they must oe discontinued. as
the health of a community IS to be re-

A Platform.
Manning, S. c., March 9TH, l90$

Manning, S. c., March 9TH, 1908.
To the voters Of Manning:
AS a candidate for the office OF Mayor
of your town take this method OF pre-
senting to you my platform and, II the
same meets with your approval, asking
your support in the coming election
First. T am in favor of clean town,
morally and physically l think the
laws should be enforced so as to make
the town uncomfortable for objection
able characters, so far as possible.
Second. | believe that the business
affairs of the town should be handled
in a business-like-way. Or, in other
words, in the same manner as If 1t were
a private corporation, and as economl-
cally as possible, consistent with sound
business policy and growth.
Third I believe that the business
affairs of the town should be conducted
on cash basis, as far as possible, with
out mourning obligations in excess OF
the income received.
Fourth. In the absence OF Board OF
Trade, or other commercial organlza-
ton it devolves upon the Mayor and
Council to aid in every way in bring
ing in foreign capital for Investment
and the formation of business and man
ufacturing enterprises.
Fifth. No member of the Council
should enter into any contract to do
work or furnish material for the town:
not that this is necessarily wrong, but
it is forbidden by the law, and in add.
tion, in my opinion, it is not good
policy.
Sixth. Most OF the above matters are
dependent upon the Council, although
the Mayor can exercise his influence
towards the desired end.
Seventh. In conclusion: this is a
clean race on both sides. All OF the
gentlemen nominated for Aldermen
and also my opponent, are my personal
friends and men in whom I have every
confidence. Whether one ticket or the
other is elected, let US all join hands
and make a renewed effort to build up
our town and develop all OF its posi-
bilities. Let US all take more interest,"
in the towns affairs and spend more
time in working for its welfare, and
in any OF these things I pledge my
hearty support and cooperation
whether elected or not.
Respectfully.
