Gone to Her Reward.

Manning was deeply saddened New
Years morning by the sudden death of
a most estimable lady, Mrs Annie Du-
Rant Ingram, wife OF Mr.. S. E. Ingram,
aged about 63 years. The deceased had,
Us is quite natural for one Of her years,
been complaining of not feeling well,
but her symptoms were not alarming,
and she continued right on attending to
her duties with that energy which was
characteristic of her. When she retir-
ed their was nothing to indicate any
thing serious, but about $50 in the
morning Mr.. Ingram was awakened by
her heavy breathing and falling to re-
spond to his call, he called to his daugh-
ter. Mrs. E. c.. Horton and she hurried
into the room only in time to lift her
mothers head and see her pass into
eternal bliss.
Mrs. Ingram was member of the
Manning Presbyterian church and a de-
voted worker for it, kind neighbor
and good friend. The funeral took
place in the Presbyterian church Sat-
urday afternoon, the services were con-
Quoted by the pastor, Rev. A. r. Wood
son. The church were we'll filed not
withstanding change made in the
place OF burial,-many out of town
friends had heard the burial would take
place at the family burying ground near
DuRant's.
The burial took place in the Manning
cemetery where the religious service
was concluded. The grave was covered
with many beautiful and costly tributes
of affection. The pail bearers were:
Messrs. J. T. Stukes, Louis Levi, I. NJ.
Loryea, P. B. Thames, }. H. Rigby and
Louis Applet. The deceased leaves two
children, Mrs. F. E. Harrison of Able
vile and Mrs. E. G. Horton Of Manning.

alleges bad business management, OF
the people preyiDg on the county treas
ury we know not, our finances are in
bad shape, and Clarendon Representa-
tives must face the music and provide
proper legislation. This is no time tc
think OF popularity-thcre is Q condl-
tion which must be met.
Mr. G. NJ. Hicks OF New Zion address
ed the meeting in plain practical man
ner: he made no complaints, was not
seeking Office, but as practical man he
thought the increase OF taxation was
due TO natural conditions, rather than
to extravaganza. The people must not
forget that there are twice as many
public roads in the county than was
here ten years ago, they must not lose
sight of the fact that every thing has
more than doubled in price and there
has been much permanent work done.
Mr.. Hicks is farmer and is not fond OF
paving any more taxes than he can help,
but saws he, we cannot have our de-
mands complied with and not expect to
pay. He says the county commissioners
get much abuse uniustly, they are good
honest men doing what they can for the
county's benefit. but they cannot do it
all, utterly impossible. the citizens
should help them. II a man is taX-dodg-
ing. or fails to work the road or pay the
Communication tax, or imposes on the
county in any way it is the duty of q
good citizen having the Information TO
report it to the commissioners and then
if they DO not do their duty, report them
to the grand jury, hunt remedy. It is
easy to criticise, help your officers. The
Representatives cannot help themselv-
yes, they must increase the tax levy 10
get the county on business basis.
Mr.. Hicks talked like man who could
appreciate the results Of attempting TO
run the county on q niggardly basis He
wants an economical! government, at the
same time he is convinced that cheap
John methods is the most costly in the
end. His talk was much appreciated.

specified can be dispensed with. The
only solution is to issue Bonds TO cover
the needed amount.
To do this second election is neces-
sary, and as the I per cent Limitation
allowable under the general Act will
be exceeded. special act authorizing
the issue, if voted, is now being prepar-
ed for presentation to the General AS
