The Parting Eas Come.

The Rev. F. q. Shuler preached his
farewell sermon last Sunday in the
Methodist church. and at the conclu-
sion OF the service he was presented
with beautiful silk umbrella by the
officers of the church. The presentation
speech was made by Mr.. Joseph Sprott
and those who were present say it was
q most affecting scene. The preacher
was taken altogether by surprise, he
was not prepared for the manifesto:
ton OF love and friendship, his response
therefore Was full Of emotion. TO express
it In street parlance, his people "go,
his goat" Mr.. Shuler has been the
pastor of the Manning Methodist church
for four yesrs, and under the rules OF
the church he will have to 90 to some
other Geld. this is one Of the hardships
Of Methodist preachers life, especial
ly 80 when they have, like MIR. Shuler.
entwined themselves il the affections
of q people regardless of denomination
or creed. There never has been man
seut from the conference whose labors
have been more loyal to his church
Mr.. Shuler has rubbed up against hu-
manitv, and is therefore qualified to
|sympathize with humanity in all OF its
fraiities, being possessed Of this atsrib'
ute he reached the old and the young
and bouod them al! to him with hooks
Of steel. Every body in this town gives
him up reluctantly. but it is our hope
shat the parting will not be for long,
and that wherever the conference seud-
this Plus s-rvant Of God bis labors will
be enriched with many blessings.

School Improvement Association.

The local School improvement Asso-
ciasion Of the Manning graded school
has made progress in the past, and the
present outlook promises much great
or development this year. From the
school entertainment of few weeks
aso, eighty nine dollars was realized.
A part OF this sum is now being used
by the exterior committee OF the asso
citation for the improvement OF the
school grounds. The front campus has
been made ready for planting oats and
vetch in order TO have the grounds
green and attractive during the winter
months. Next spring lawn will be
planted TO tske the place Of the vetch
Pansies have also been planted in the
beds around the building.
Perhaps the greatest attraction that
has been added TO the campus is the
cenent waik, which is now near com.
pletion. AS our association has made
such q splendid beginning, let US keep
toe good work going. Let US not be
satisfied with what has been accomplish

A Tribute.

Mrs. E. c. White, inee Miss Carrie

b-:ng u daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs w.
q. Boswell, died at her home n Sum

corridors sometimes lead t" the bright

TOO EARLY YET.

Already the politicians are
casting out their lines for the
senatorial contest two years
hence. The names OF severa'
have been mentioned, among
them are the present Senator
Hon. E. D. Smith, Governor Cole
l.. Blease, John Gary Evans, N.
B. Dial and others, but it is too
early to make predictions as who
will succeed Smith, it will take a
convincing argument to cause
the people of this State to turn
down a man whose record is
above reproach. Smith has fol-
lowed the pledges of the Demo-
cratic platform as a mariner fol-
lows his compass, therefore, IN
order to get the people to turn
him down they must be shown.
Governor Blease is at present
the idol of the masses, he will no
doubt command more votes than
any other who many enter a con
test for senatorial lonors, but
his popularity depends upon his
career from now on, if he exer-
cises a proper Judgment, and
convinces the masses that he is
better qualified to represent them
than they are being represented
then his chances are good. We
have no idea that the candidacy
of John Gary Evans will be
seriously considered by many,
surely not enough of them to
justify him in attempting to
make the race. He is a has-been
and the executive committee Of
which be is the head drove d nail
into his political coffin and clinch
ed it so hard that it can never be
drawn to let him get into the po
litical counting again. The 9th.
ers which have been mentioned
are not sufficiently known to be
considered in this connection.

that Captain W. E. Gonzales is

of the old maid who had the all

and she exclaimed: "This is so

United States deserving of recog
nition by President-elect Wood
row Wilson, that man is William
Elliott Gonzales, for there was not
a moment from an early start to
the counting of the votes but that
ne was hammering away to get
votes. Gonzales deserves some
thing at the hands of the Nation

does not have it offered him we
shall always believe that party's

Congress will convene next
Monday, but there is no danger
of any legislation which will have
a bearing upon business. When
the new administration takes
charge there will be something
doing among the tariff thinkers,
we will then see whether or not
there will be cause for rejoicing;
If those in the leadership do not

The popular vote for President
in the recent election was Wilson
6,156,748, Roosevelt 1928, 140,
Taft 3,376,422. In 1908 Bryan's S
vote was 6. 1913, 1872, Taft 1886, 676.
Wilson received 1:537,814 less
votes than Taft and Roosevelt,
which shows that the Democratic
party to be in the minority, not
withstanding the fact that it has
full control of the government,
and that it was due entirely to
the split in the Republican party
the Democrats have control.

WE WANT A JUST TAX ASSESSMENT.

Governor Blease according to
the Columbia correspondent of
the News and Courier will
recommend to the general as
sembly the passage of an Act to
require the railroads to adopt a
two cent passenger rate In the
States of North Carolina and
Virginia this same proposition
was considered and made the
law, but if our memory is not
faulty the courts declared the
two cent rate confscatory and
therefore null and void. There
IS a tendency on the part of pub.
lie men to harass the railroads,
especially about the matter of
rates, this we presume is done to
crafty public clamor, but when
thinking people stop to consider
these constant demands upon
public service corporations they
readily see that if every demand
created by shrewd politicians
we're acceded to the public SER
vice institutions would be knock
ed out of business.
We are opposed to legislation
which has for its purpose the
the regulation of the business
department of any corporation.
The railroads have rights as
we'll as private individuals, and
they must obey the law as well
as private individuals, but it is
not right for our public men to
be constantly building up the
fires of prejudice against rail
roads when they know that it is
prompted by sinister motives.
We are friendly to the Governor
and favor most of his policies,
but we are not with him when
he undertakes to advocate that
which has in other States
where the passenger traffic is
triple that of this State, been
declared null and void. The
masses in this State have other
problems needing to be solyed,
the tax assessment of property;
if Governor Blease can devise a
scheme whereby the tax assess
ment can be made so that the
rich will pay their just proper
ton, and the burden made lighter
for the poor, he will be doing
something for the many without
prejudice to the few.
