A Fork Suggestion.
Editor The Manning Times:

Iu the Times OF November 25, 1908,
you ask for suggestions as to how the
county c,n be gotten out of its present
bad condition. Surely the present tinan-
cial condition of our county is not un-
satisfactory:
At the last session OF the legislature
arrangements were made TO bond the
county for ten thousand dollars TO pay
off back Indebtedness and place the
county on cash basis. Having the
county 90 q cash basis, delegation
which has been properly attending to
its duty and board Of county commis-
siouers who have long since been fanlll-
lar with the county's financial manage.
meut how could the county he other
wise than in creditable condition?
Now what we need is that the county
board be required to publish a complete
quarterly repor: setting forth all money
collected for different purposes and foot
up so that any one can see at a glance
just how the county is getting on The
kind of report that has been published
is no good TO the public.
If the county beard cannot geta list
of the collections so as TO publish com
plete report, then why make a report at
all? I hope that at the uext session OF
the legislature our delegation will es-
tablish an office Of magistrate in the
Fork of Black River as recommended
by the Democratic Executive commit
tee. II it. can be done we would like TO
have the lien law repealed.
What we want is that all liens drawn
before the crop is planted Except for
rent be made no good, not collectlble
by law. AS TO raising The tax levy thel
are no objections to the levy being rails
ed provided the money is properly used.
Look at the number of school districts
in this county that have voted special
levy. Roads are as important as schools
and | believe this county would favor d
five dollar Communication tax if it were
krown that it would be iudiciously used
The Communication tax was doubled
this year but we do not see where the
roads have been benefited thereby.
Respectfully,

University of South Carolina.
Columbia, S. c., December !, 1908.
Mr.. Louis Appelt, Manring, S. c.
Dear Sir--Please publish the follow
ing notes in the Manning Times.
1.-The need of Studen: Secretary at
the University OF South Carolina
The duty is placed upon me to show
to the people of Clarendon county the
need of student secretary at the Uni.
rers;tv of South Carolina: and the steps
we are taking in the movement.
In the University there are about
three hundred 1907 young men most OF
whom have come from christian homes,
and as they enter the University should
they not be placed in christian environ
ments? AS it is today we have small
band OF about thirty 1907 cr about one
tenth of the student body who are faith.
ful members of the Y. NJ. c. A, Young
Meu's Christian Association.
The Y. N. G. A., holds its meetings
every Sunday afternoon. And at these
meetings we secure speakers who are
we'll prepared for the occasion. Should
we aot have more men to hear these
able speeches? II there were student
secretary here whose main duty would
be TO get the men to take active part in
this noble work. can assure you that it
would mean much for the state in years
to come. I wish had words to express
the needs as they now exist.
In several colleges OF 5Eis state such
a secretary is at work and reports show
that they are doing q great work for
the advancement of Christianity IN the
state colleges from whence will come
most of our leading men of the state.
At Clemson there are about three hun
dred (300l enrolled in Bible study, which
is about one half of its student body.
Could we not have one half Of our STU
dent body enrolled? say we can II we
could obtain a secretary to spend his
whole time in work along this line.
How are we to secure this secretary?
1t will take at least 81, coo to get a well
equipped man for this place. The mem
bers OF the Y. NJ. G. A, last year realiz-
ed the peed of secretary and the iol-
lowing plan was partly carried out The
small handful of members raised about
100 among themselves. Then commit
tee was appointed to canvass the whole
student body, the faculty and some
alumal for subscriptions. This plan
worked well. We secured pledges for
about S4O0. 1t was then our purpose to
ask the legislature for $500 making the
required amount. This proposition was
placed before the legislature and as l
understand, it was killed in the COM
mittee room, probably for the lack OF
knowledge of our CONDITION here.
This same plan is on foot again this
year, and I sincerely hope that 1t will
succeed, we will ask the legislature for
only $780, And I do think this is a
small amount for such noble purpose.
Hoping this will meet the approval
of the people of Clarendon county. re-
main Very truly yours,
PERRY W. JAYROE

disappointment to good many who ap-
preciate his piety. and his labors as
pastor. There is nothing OF the ELUSIVE
or demonstrative about the man, nor IS
there anything about him OF the polite
