We would suggest to the Town coun-
Gil to publish notice declaring what is
intended by the town license ordinance
so far as beef, pork and other country
produce IS concerned. There are many
people in the country afraid to bring
truck to Manning for fear OF being held
up for license. Council should make
this matter clear as it is hurting the
town.
The christmas shoppers, the young
men especially can find d line OF lne
candies put up in beautiful boxes at
Nimmer's. Mrs. Nimmer takes spec
iaI pride 10 the fancy boxes and with
her characteristic fine taste she has ar
ranged these pretty boxes ina very at
tractive manner. Boys, have you
sweetheart: If so Mrs. Nimmer says
box of Lowney's is a winner.
On last Monday Syrian and Charlie
Smith were ND before Council on the
CHARGE of selling liquor. The parties
were adiud ged guilty The Syrian WAS
given g sentence OF S50 me or 81 DAYS
on the chaingang. Charlie Smith was
given Is days on the gang or $40 hne.
Blind tigers will get all that IS coming
TO them in this town, if they are caught,
and the police are without doubt quite
active in trying to catch them.
The work OF re-indexing the records
of the clerk of courts office has been
completed and accepted. Mr.. A. Plumer
Burgess of Summercon did this M
mense and tedious work in e most IN
telligent and satisfactory manner; the
compensation allowed by the Act autho-
rizing this work was not at all adequate
to the work, and there is probability
that the delegation will be asked TO
authorize the commissioners TO pay Mr..
Bnrgess just sum for his labor.
Read the semi-annual clearance sale
now going Oh at The D. J. Chandler
Clothing Company, in Sumter. When
ever s'Jim" Chandler makes clearance
sale it is an open declaration that his
goods must go, and the price will be
plainly marked SO that he who runs

first class place to buy your clothing
and gents furnishings, and 1t IS be-

house for many years done an immense
business in Clarendon. Anything bought
from The D. j. Chandler Clothing Com
pauy must be as represented and give
satisfaction.
The town authorities are quite active
in keeping watch on blind tigers. Last
Charlie Smith was caught by
Policeman higgins selling liquor to
Daniel Driggers a white man, A trap
was set for Charlie and he walked anto
it. Monday morning a Syrian who it is
said was boarding at the Rhodes res5au-
rant, was arrested for selling booze
through negro walking tigers.
The express company brings to Man
ming large quantity OF liquor every
day, this IS marked ''for personal use,
and perhaps it is, but if every express
Office does as big ''tor personal use" bus
mess, there is lot of drinking in this
prohibition (?) County.
