When do the Prohibitionists propose
for prohibition 10 Clarendon county to
begin9 There has been q great deal OF
drunkenness since the dispenSary clos
ed. but then things have not hao time
TO adjust themselves. Perhaps not.
Mr.. J. W. R,gby left Monday for the
St. Louis horse market TO buy horses
and mules for Coffey and Eigbv. In
few DAYS their stables will be supplied

Ga and after January 18th al! notes
il our possession for back subscriptions
will be turned over 10 cur lawyer l'r
collection and suit. There are some OF
these notes We are tired OF Looking Az
but BY putting them IN Judgment we
may be able 70 convert them 'nto ma
yuma.
AS passengers on the trains pass Man
ming or alight at the station, the hrst
thing which attracts their attention IS
a large sign board, the center piece
Goddess of Liberty is a work OF art, on
either side of this picture are squares
for advertisements OF the business con-
cerns OF Manning, and each and every
one OF these squares should be TILED.
The work is being done by Messrs.
Brown and Young and they deserve to
have their efforts to advertise the busl-
ness houses encouraged.
1t will not be long before THE TINES
editor must be away to attend his duties
as Senator. and as this is the last issue
of the year, let US beg the aid OF those
who want THE TINES kept up TO the
usual standard We want The news from
every section, and while we promise
when legislature meets TO nave an inter-
estine letter from Columbia, we want
interesting letters from each section OF
the county, IN order to make IHE
TINES the readable paper its manager
is striving for. Friends help US out.
Send US the news.
It is with sorrow that each week we
must cut names of good people from
our subscription lists, people who are
as good as gold, but the law colnpels
it. But what grieves US IS. TO ind
some few when they are dropped, get
angry. come 10, settle up: and do not
renew. They ought not 10 do this,
they are hurting themselves. The
TINES subscription list is larger now
than it has ever been, and will continue
to grow because it merits the patron
age, but we do not like to lose a sub
scriber. and when they quit because
we are forced to comply with the law,
it is too bad.
The county Auditor has been request
ed to prepare list of township assess
ors for the governor to appoint, as next
wear will be the time to return real es-
tate. It is to be hoped that three men
in each township will be selected who
will do their full duty by assessing
property in an equal and fair manner.
The past assessments has simply been
ou.raSeouo, the owner OF {. ;rooll noaouns
of property paying almost full taxes,
while the large land owner gos OFF light.
There is no desire to be unjust to the
large land owner, b2u he should be made
to paw according 10 valuation. We know
of lands in this county which On the
block would easily bring $50 per acre
that are assessed at about s.. AT the
same time there are lands which will
not briug over SO an acre that are as
sessed at S., the same as the $50 land.
This is wrong and the township boards
are responsible for it.
We do sincerely hope the next set of
men will manage the property assess
ment and equalization so that there will
be more equal payment of taxes. ln
selecting these township boards tbe
Auditor should have no regard for
friend nor foe, the man who will do
duty consciertiously is what is needed.
