friendships.

good woman and mad the esteem OF her

Work for the removal OF the school
building has commenced. 1t will prob
ably be two weeks before the house Will
be in condition for school work.
The Clarendon Baptist church will
hold services in the court house next
Sunday at Il O'Clock. Sunday school
at $50. Public cordially invited.
The condition of the court house
since its removal has made il necces-
sary to arrange a school book deposi-
tory elsewhere. That arrangement has
been made with L. L. Wells & Co., in
the Levi Block.
Mr.. W. G. King formerly OF Man
ming, oow living n Spartanburg, IS
here for the season to buy cotton. Mr..
King knows cotton, the people know
Mr.. King, and when the market gets IN
a settled condition we expect Mr..
Kings service as an independent buyer
to be stimulus for full prices. Bring
your cotton to Manning.
The damage done to the crops on the
Santee in this county is much greater
than was a. first supposed. There are
many fields of cotton destroyed and a
great loss Of stock. Mr.. S. D. DuBose
tells US his loss of hogs and cattle will
amount to several hundred dollars. The
crops around ST. Paul are IN a sadly
damaged condition, some have lost
everything.
The county commissioners OF this
county can do no better service at this
time than by repairing the bridge at
Tindal's mill. The condition at that
place is impossible, and it IS q great in
convenience to the Silver and Paxvllle
sections, as well as depriving. Manning
of lot OF business. We hope they Will
not wait another moment, but get busy
putting the bridge and road IN g tray
cling condition.
What is a political heller? A man
who has little or no acquaintance with
q candidate. but goes to the expense OF
time and trouble to electioneer for him.
AS a rule men cannot afford to give
their time and means to work for a
stranger, and not get pay. Therefore.
when there is unusual expense and &C
tivity for q stranger, nine times out Of
ten the suspicion, he is getting the can.
didates dough is correct. There may
be some exceptions, but as a rule the
hiring of turnouts, the treating 0:
voters, and devoting unusual time to a
strangers candidacy means money in
the pockets of those who do the ser
vice. This IS our dehnltlon OF a 'heet
er."
When bunch OF old women ge
away from home, they are as bad as tht
nen-they 90 on lark. The new
comes here from Hendersonville thai
three pious and dignihed danes got ga.

thing here, but when ava,
from home and, husbands and 9th

them away, but one lives IN An
derson. another in Spartanburg and "a
third here in Manning, ali formerl

ped stockings on. Amt it shocking
But then, they were away from home.
