Two Clerical Frauds.

Two strange young men, evidently
foreigners, were in Manning recently
soliciting funds for the alleged support
of an orphanagein Armenia. They wore
clerical earb and hao numerous testl-
monials endorsing them and the noble
work in which they were engaged, but
the probability is that they were serv-
inc the devil in the garb OF religion,
While talking with Rev. H. K: VIII
liams, pastor of the Mannlng Baptss
church, they became very much con-
fused when somewhat closely quizzed.
They claimed to be Baptists, but when
it was noted that their credentials were
signed by bishop, they explained that
all denominations in their country had
bishops. and under further questioning
they went so far as to say that their
church practiced infant baptism. At
other times, when interrogations ap-
peared loo searching, the strangers
would pretend not to understand. There
can be little doubt that these men are
frauds, and they are probably doing q
thrifty business 10 their swindlinG cam
paign. Something should be done to
overhaul them and put stop to their
imposition on the charity of good peo-
ple.

Long Staple Cotton Market Assured.

Following the interesting article on
the subject of staple cotton furnished
by Mr.. D. r. Coker, which-we copied
pleasure in reproducing the following
equally Interesting article from the
columns of the Columbia State:
The first long staple cotton market IL
South Carolina is soon to be opened IN
Columbia by J. Sumter Moore, who has
been 10 the cotton business in this State
for score of years. He was for num-
! Der of years connected with the Parker
Cotton mills of this city and recently re-
signed his position. He will open in an
! Office in the Palmetto Bank building on
Main street and viii actively enter the
field to purchase long staple cotton and
furnish the farmers of the State with
high class cotton seed at q reasonable
price.
He believes that there is great fu-
ture to the long staple cotton industry
in South Carolina. Last year there were
produced in the State about 10000 bales
of long staple cotton which was sold for
from II to q cents a pound. The pro-
duction this year is expected to be
doubled.
s'The situation has about reached the
stage" said Mr.. Moore. when market
is needed for the long staple cotton. l
will deal with the local mills, the East
ern mills and with the dealers in Eu-
rope. I will be in y position TO handle
just as many bales as are produced by
the farmers of the State and will give
the best price possible.
The production of long staple cotton
in South Carolina is being gradually de-
veloped. David r. Coker OF Hartsvllle,
is among the pioneers in South Carolina
in the development of the industry. II
is expected that q cotton exposition will
be held in Columbia during the fall IN
the interest of the long staple cotton
movement.

Now for the Fair.

Editor The Manning Times:-l would
like TO state to the people of Clarendon
county that I am still in the United
States Farm Demonstration work, bav-
ing received instructions from DR.. Brad
ford Knapp. Especial agent in charge, J
to resume work. I hope to make this
the best year in my territory for both
the corn club members and the regular
demonstrators.
Now we are to have county school
fair sometime in the coming winter at
which the corn club members will ex-
hibit their corn, records and histories,
and the other scholars will exhibit sam
piles of their handiwork. There will be
a long list of prizes offered and great
pains should be taken to make this fair
a success.
AS to our ability to get up a credit
able exhibit, will say that we have
the material and all that is needed IS
the effort. To substantiate this state
ment | will tell you what was done by
the public in my territory, 1.-THE Eastern
half of Clarendon county, the past year.
At the South Atlantic Corn EXPOSE
ton held in Columbia, S. c.: December
IL to 10Th. 1911, there were four prizes
offered for exhibits from the 1st Cong.
Dist. OF S. c.. of these we won three
leaving one. (third) prize which was
won by Charleston county, and one OF
our boys won the prize over the lst
Dist, for the best history of how his
corn was made. Now if one half OF the
county can lead the lst District like
that why can't we make a creditable eX-
hibit at county fair:
Let's all come together and take hold
of this school fair proposition ano make
it q success. AL of you boys and girls
ask your teacher about it, your teachers
will Instruct you and aid you ln getting
up your exhibit properly. II we Will go
ahead with this work we will be in line
70 compete more advantageously with
others for the larger or more valuable
prizes which will be offered at the ra-
tional corn exposition in Columbia, S.
c.. January 9th to February 9th, 1918.
And now fellow citizens of Clarendon
county if after all ;hat has been done IL
the past we sit still and see our county
and state fail at this national corn ex-
position next January it will be the
greatest drawback we could have and
it will be hard for US to ever regain our
present record in the agricultural line.
Yours for effort and success,

The Other Fellow.

The Columbia Record revives ''Joues
Private Argument, lone of the few
dialect poems that Sidney Laniel
wrote" and the application OF which
was never more timely. Here it is:
''JoNEs PRIVATE ARGUMENT"
That air same Jones, which lived ir
Jones,
He had this pint about him;
He'd swear with hundred sighs and
groanS,
That farmers must stop gettin' loans,
And get along without 'em.
That bank ers, warehouSemen and sich
Was fatt'nin' on the planter,
And TeDnessy was rotten-rich
A-raisin' meat and corn ali which
Draws money to Atlanta.
and the only thing (says jones' TO do
Is eat no meat that's boughten:
But tear up every I. 0. q.
And plant all corn and swear for true
To quit a-raisin cotton.
Thus spouted Jones (whar folks could
hear
AT Court and other gatherin's.
And thus KEEP spoutin' many year,
Proclaimin' loudly far and near
Sich fddlesticks and blatherin's.
But one alfred sweatin' day,
1t happened I was hoein'
Nv lower corn field, which it lay
'Longside the road that runs my way
Whar I can see what's goin.'
And alter twelve o'clock had come
I felt kinder faggin',
And laid myself un'neath plum
To let my dinner settle sum,
When 'long comes Jones's waggln.
And Jones was settin' in it, so:
A-readin' of paper.
His mules was goln' powerful slow.
Fur he had tied the lines onto
The staple of the scraper.
The mules they stopped about rod
From me, and went to feeGin'.
'LoDgside the road upon the sod,
But Jones (which he had tuck q nodl

And presently, says he, Hits true;
That Clisby's head is level.
Thar's one thing farmers all must do.
To keep themselves from goin' tew

And mustn't eat what's boughtep.
Next year they'll do it: reasonin's sound,

SIRHNGE MEM LIQUID
People Who Suffered For Years And
Who Never Expected to Get Well
Are Fast Recovering and
Whole State is Interested.

So great has been the success of
the famous new Root Juice medicine
in Atlanta during the past few weeks,
that people all over the state have
become interested and reports of re-
markable experiences are beginning
to come from all directions.
Among the latest and most remark
able eases that have been brought to
light is that of Mrs. E. Storm, a we'll
known resident of Marietta, Ga, who
mas for over six years suffered from
stomach and kidney trouble and
whom eight doctors and number of
different medicines failed to cure. In
speaking of the strange experience
with the Root Juice treatment, Mrs.
Storm said: My appetite was poor.
my food would not digest and l suf-
fered frightfully Gas would form in
my stomach Sand cause belching.
Sometimes I Would become sick st
the somach and frequently suffered
from headaches. I had severe back
aches and pains over my kidneys. I
was weak, run down and nervous
and at times I could not sleep. When
I began to hear so much about the
neW Root Juice treatment decided
to try it and now, after using only
two bottles, I find myself greatly
benefited. am beginning to feel
fine. For the first time in four years
I am able to work about the house. |
certainly do not regret my money
spent for this great medicine for the
two bottles I used have done more
for me than all the doctors and medi-
cines I tried in eight years."
Another remarkable case is that of
Mr.. Joseph Bradner of Jackson, Ca,
who signed statement says that
after using two bottles OF the Juice,
rheumatism lefc him, the swelling
disappeared and he feels better than
for years.
Reports similar to these coming
from all parts of the state seems to
prove beyond all doubt that the new
medicine is effecting wonderful re-
suits in cases of rheumatism, weak
kidneys, backache, headaches, nerv-
BUSINESS, indigestion, belching, loss of
appetite, pains after meals and other
symptoms of weak or disordered
stomach, liver, kidneys or bowels.
It can be obtained OF any well
stocked druggist and in view OF the
great benefits hundreds of sufferers
are deriving every day it would seem
advisable for home people who seek
a speedy cure to give ii a thorough
trial.
