Brogdon. S. c., July 2S, 1911.
To the editor of The Manning Times
The article appearing ia The Manning
Times Of the 2Gth instant stating thai
some one had 'placed nails in the public
road for the purpose of injurinG auto
mobiles just above my residence anC
on the same day near and below my res
idence in the same road is a direct ,im-
plication that /, or some ola ut my
home, o. on my place or near by did
such and is responsible for same.
In behalf Of myself, my family and
the good people who reside in this com
munity, l wish to inform the Editor OF
The Times that his charges are unjust
and totally uncalled for All who know
me and mine, are fully aware that we
would not for one moment countenance
such an act. We entertain no Ill will to
anv one. On the contrary. live a sim
pie life, and have always entertained to-
ward my fellow traveller the most kind
". fraternal. neighborly feeling that IS
possible for u fellow being to feel and
dispense to fellow traveller. not only
from the standpoint OF civic virtue, but
because it is the proper Christian spirit
50 beautifully expressed and embodied
in the Golden Rule.
As evidence OF my iriendliness to the
automobile and those who are so forcu-
nate TO be able to own and operate them,
W.. the past two weeks, on one oc-
casiC party Of tourists from Charlotte.
\. c., stopped at my place. and | sup
piled them with gasoline necessary for
the successful continuity of their jour
ney. Tie same is true within the time
stated OF an auto party from Columbia,
S. c.. whose cars became hors de com
bat near my home.
Less than q year ago I entertained
FIVE gentlemen whose cars gave out on
them near here, and I found much pleas
ure in dispensing my simple courtesy,
feeble assistance, but generous hosplt-
alitv to these gentlemen, who from their
polite demeanor apparently deeply ap-
preciated my gratultous bread and
boarding. Ny 500, Mr.. J. E. Brogdon,
of Montgomery, Ala, owns an automo-
bile, so does my Younger son. Mr.. julius
L. Brogdon, who resides with me at my
home, my neighbors own automobiles
and so does my brother and my two
nephews who reside in the same con-
nunity in which l live. In the light OF
this information, Mr. Editor, do you for
one moment tcouscieutiouSly believe that
|. or nv neighbors or any member OF my
family would wilfully and Intentionally
place pails in the puolic highway cr
road 'for the purpose of injuring auto
mobiles?" TO those disinterested it IS
quite apparent. Mr.. Editor, that your
Implications and insinuations are totally
uncalled for and unjust and in behalf OF
myself, my family and the good citizen
ship of this community, request that
you publish this refutation of your un.
lust criticism of a people who live the
simple life and try to practice thereby,
the Golden Rule: ''Do unto others as
you would be done by"
Respectfully.
JOHN l. BROGDoN.
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1911-08-02

The above proves how easily mis-.
construction can be placed upon that
which appears in newspaper. The
writer had not the remotest thought OF
even limiting that the people at or near
| Mr.. Brogden's had knowledge OF, or
countenanced any injurious mischief
that should occur in their neighborhood.
There is no section or community which
has people for whom the writer has
higher regard, and it grieves us to know
that the comments made by US with re-
card to the two accidents which befell
the party of which we happened to be
one, should have been construed by Mr..
Brogdon as his letter indicates. What
he saws about his communlty's hospital
itv we most heartily endorse, there IS no
higher citizenship anywhere, but if
some boy on mischief bent, puts nails IN
the road to catch automobiles, 1t would
be foolish indeed to hold the people OF
the community responsible for it. We
know TOO, that if Mr.. Brogdon or any OF
his neiehbors could see any one engaged
in such mischief they would likely make
such an impression upon them that they
would not forget it soon. No, no, Mr..
Brogdon, dismiss from your mind there
was the slightest thought OF connecting
the good people of or near Brogdon with
the incident, and we are sorry that YOU
for one moment entertained the thought
that we intended to so imply.
We cannot say positively the pals
were placed in the road Intentionally,
but on examination it had such an ap-
pearance, and too, one of the colored
men who kindly helped US to get off,
told US that he has seen children putting
nails and other things in The road and
would make them stop it, and promi-
nent business man told US that he TOO,
has seen children putting obstructions
in the road for mischief. Surely no one
would hold the parents or the commun-
itv responsible for this conduct, and so
far as the Brog6on incident is concern
ed, we desire to say that when 1t occur
ed the remark was made that 1T would
not be we'll for the chaps to let the Brog-
dons find them out"

Not a Money Making Scheme.

The Manriug Warehouse Co. held
its annual meeting last Friday in the
court house with q good attendance:
Charlton DuRant, Esq. presided and
Mr.. F. L. Wolfe made the secretary's
report, which showed, besides the
mortgage debt of $1,000, an additional
indebtedness of about 5000. No monies
were carried over 10 the surplus ac-
count and no dividends were declared.
This warehouse was not built with a
view to making money. OF course,
profits are not undesirable, but the
main reason FOR the Institution was to
protect the farmers when the price of
cotton got too low for market. they
would have place 10 store their cot
ton and be able to borrow from the
banks. The old officers were reelected
without opposition. The following is

The Judge of Probate had an inter
esting hearing before him Yesterday IN
the matter of proving in solemn form
the last will aud testament OF the late
Mrs. E. N. Briggs of Summerton. The
testimony was conflicting, and the court
took recess to view the residence to
locate the room where the deceased tes-
tatrix is said to haye seen the witnesses
when the will was signed by them. The
question involved as we understand, is
whether or not the will was lawfully en-
ecuted, the testimony showing that
Mrs. Briggs signed the will, was immed-
lately taken i'll, and the witnesses had
to retire from the room before aflxine
their signatures, they signed in a near
bv room. 1t is for the court to decide
whether or not they signed in her pres
ence.

Patiently Nearing the End.

News comes that Clara Barton.
president of the American Red
Cross Society. is nearing her
end. Her death will remove
from a sphere of usefulness one
of Americas most notable wo-
me n. In the S5th year OF her
life she is still buoyed up with
the hope Of beneftting her fel-
low being.
She represents the true mean
ing Of til e humanitarian.
Throughout her useful career
she has worked and toiled for
the alienation of suffering in
others.
Born in North Oxford in 1926,
Clara Barton, as a child, mani
tested a kindness toward man
and beast alike. She could not
bear the sight of pain. Coming
from old revolutionary parentage
the idea of war and its dangers
filled her heart, at all times with
apprehension. Her father SER
we'd under General Anthony
Wayne and from them she inner
led that fearless determinsti n
to face danger, if others could
be saved or defended.
When the Civil War was de-
clared she went with the army
! of the Potomac and nursed the
sick and wounded throughout
! the bloody strife. She was on
the field Of battle at the second
Bull Run, Cedar Mountain, at
Fredericksburg and the s-orming
| Of Fort Wagner. She was in
the thick of the battles at SPOTS
vania and the Wilderness
Throughout she was known
Those she nursed to health never
forgot her. Those who died,
some in her arms, died with her
prayer whispered in their ears.
It was in 1864. at Geneva.
Switzerland, the Red Cross So
ciety was first organized, but its
defined mission was only to
nurse and care for the wounded
on the field Of battle and all ma
tons agreed to recognize the
red cross and respect it.
It vas in 1867 that Clara Bar
ton first visited Europe. It was
then for her health, but when
| the first guns sounded in the
Franco-Prussian war she joined.
at once, in the work of the Red
Cross. She was a CONSPICUOUS
figure at Strassburg and Metz.
When Strassburg capitulated and
20. 900 was rendered homeless
and starving it was Clara Barton
