County Supervisor McFaddln IS r.


County Supervisor McFaddin is re
pairing the roadway over Ok SWAMP
near Manning. He is doing away witt
the wooden brides and replacing then
with culverts similar to those belns
used over streams on railroads. Wher
completed this causeway will be per
,nanently fixed, and while it may COS
little more in the beginning, it IS ou'
opinion that the county will save
money by the work now being done.

This is the last week delinQuents
have to keep from having their names:
stricken from the subscription lists OF
THE TIMES. There is no right IN
reason or sense to expect US to send
THE TINES without getting pay Tor 1t,
and any person that wants The paper
should be willing to pay for it. The
label on this issue will tell when your
subscription expired, read It, ana II
YOU are in arrears, either mail US the
money, send or bring it, for 1t requires
the cash to pay for material and 1t
takes the cash to pay printers. In!s IS
no idle threat, we have been as lenlen5
as we could possibly be, some nave

are many others who, either through
indifference, carelessness CT for some
other cause have not paid up, 1t Is this
class we ara now urging TO comply
with our request. IF you are IN arrears
we mean you, if you are not then this
does not apply.
Manning has new machlne snoP,
something long needed here, 1t VIII
save the SEEDING off of machinery when
in need of repair. The Clarendon
Garage and Machine Company which
has recently opened up here is equlpp'
ed with the necessary apparatus !or tne
work they offer to do, and Mr.. Lacnl'
cote is an expert in his line. He has
worked IN automobile factories and
understands the business IN all OF It's
details. He comes to Manning be-
lieving it is good point for such a
business, and he has associated with
him Mr.. Stewart Harvin OF this town
who has been connected with the auto
mobile business for several years. we
are clad TO welcome this new enter
prise TO Manning and we nope the
Young men will ind it prohtab! They
have invested considerable lot OF
money in machinery, and have renteo
the place formerly occupied by 3. /.
Leeg. Their material and machinery
is being installed and Judging from the
number of automobiles in the county
and the number CT other machinery,
there is no reason why this concern
should not be>a permanent fixture.
The committee selected to look after
the design for the confederate monu-
ment met last week and selected a
monument of beautiful white marble.
It is to be shaft q feet high, mount
ed with q confederate soldier with
musket ana trappings. On Tuesday
November the 14th, there Will aoe q
grand rail-; in Manning for the'purpose
of raising funds to pay for TINS long
neglected memorial. The whole county
should attend this rally. Senators
Tillnan and Smith are expected to
make speeches, and Col. James
Armstrong one of the most eloquent
men in the State, and himself battle
SCARED veteran has also consented to
speak tor the cause 1t should not be
necessary for US to urge the people OF
Clarendon to become enthusiastic sup
porters of this movement, the fact that
it is contemplated to do honor to those
who gave up their lives for their
eountry's cause is sufficient to arouse
the patriotism Of every man and
woman, yes, even the children to con
tribute. Let the l4th, of November
be the greatest day IN the history o.
OF the county, it should be the one da!
when everybody will lay aside thel'
affairs and devote it to this grand cause
