/ Il. L. Scarborough was elected Clerk
Of Court in Sumter yesterday. defeat.
ing L. I. Parrot. r. B. Belser was

burg all but one of the old delegation

feated in Richland for the Legislature.
There is no telling what will occur
our readers to hunt up their registra-
tion certificates, and pin their tax re-
ceipts to them for use in the general
election, because should there be two
tickets in the field for State officers
which looks probable to US, then the
election laws will be strictly enforced.
Of course this all depends on whether
or nos q partisan committee robs the
masses of their nominee.
The death OF Hon. r. P. Hamer of
Dillon removes one of the most success:
full business men of the State, one who
has not only done much for the material
development, but be did much in many
other ways for the general good. Mr..
Hamer vas for several terms member
OF the legislature from Marion county,
and later from Dillon, and was strongly
spoken of for Governor. He was still
young man, and his death came to the
people at large as a shock.
There died in Charleston last Mon
day splendid old lady, Mrs. F. W.
Wagner. The deceased was highly
appreciated by the many friends she
had over the State who with her hus-
band Capt. +. W. Wagner never fail
ed to make thing pleasant for those
with whom they Came in contact with.
The writer and his family were the
recipients of pleasant courtesies from
the aged couple which will never be
forgotten. Captain Wagner who sur
wives his wife has the sympathy of
legion OF friends not only in this, but
in other States.
Next Saturday week 2lst.. the Jew
ish merchants of Manning will have
their places of business closed on ac-
count of the Day of Atonement. We
have been requested to state that the
stores will reopen at o'clock Saturday
evening to supply the demands of the
trade. The Day of Atonement is a
very sacred day with the people of
Jewish birth with them it is considered
the day of days, and but few refuse to
commemorate it by fasting and prayer,
therefore the son of Isreal who honors
his forefathers, whether be pretends
piety or not, will keep this one day as
holy as his circumstances will permit.
We have been asked if the registration
books will be open any more this year.
Thestatutes say the books of registration
for three successive days shall be open
in each month before general election
until thirty days before the general
election. We think the registration Of
fcers can open their books on the first
Monday in October for the registration,
as the general election comes on the 5th
and it would give them the 30 days in
cluding the Monday, October 7th, and
the election day. If these officers intend
TO open the books on the first primary
Monday ir October we suggest they
=ssaz55liSh = notice of the same so the public
may be informed. 1t is important for all
70 be registered, if they have certifl-
cate already tney do not need another,
and those coming of age this year before
the election should make application
for the certificates.
Now that we can get our minds back
TO the things which profit US most, we
would suggest to our readers to turn
their thoughts towards the school house
which is preparing the young for citi-
Zenship. In every community the pat
rons of the school should take deep |
interest in the work and give to the |
teacher all of the aid and encourage |
ment possible. How often is it we hear
complaint of such and such a teacher
not doing his or her part by Mr.. So and
Sos child, when little investigation
will lind that Mr.. So and So did abso- |
lutelv nothing to help the teacher, but
OF the contrary was an obstacle. in the |
way of the teachers work. Let every !
parent send their child to school i'm
pressed with the idea that the teachers |
rule is absolute, and there is no appeal
from it to the parents, then when the
child realizes this, there will be better
discipline in the school room and better
work accomplished by the teacher.
