More Plans For The Fair.

We are all working for the same
end, q Better State through a Better
County, and believe the place to begin
is with the babies, as Better Babies,
make Better School Children and Bet
ter School Children make Better Men
and Women, Better Citizens who IN
turn make the State.
So at 10 o'clock on the morning OF
December 18th, We expect to begin the
Better Babies Contest IN the schooi
house. The Manning babies will be
examined first thereby giving those
from a distance time TO arrive.
The Clarendon physicians will be
assisted in the examinations by trained
nurses and by DR.. E. r. Wilson from
Sumter
About IL O'Clock in the school audi
.orium there will be short talks bp the
physicians and cradle songs by some OF
the ladies of the town.
At this time we will distribute leaf
lets, "Hints to Mothers" sent out oy
the Wouan's Home Companion and
announce the prize winners. We have
eight certificates of AWARD and Two
beautiful brouze Better Babies medals,
also sent by tie Companion.
Mr.. Winbur, the photographer.
from Sumter, will be present ahd tske
pictures for those who wish. ] hope
that the mothers will have the Better
Babies taken, as wish TO send them to
the Companion.
We want to have the parade st 1880
O'Clock. This will be led by Schu-
makers band from Sumter, II plecs.
While standing arouno the court
house we expect to have the county
veil, then march to CIark's Tobacco
Warehouse where We will sing America
and have short prayer before dis
banding.
The Booths will be in the warehouse
Come and see what Clarendon boys and
girls are doing. We hope that every
white man, woman and child in the
county will be present and show an
interest 10 what is beingdone.
Not as a money making scheme but
to help defray the expenses, We expect
to sell oysters, crackers, sandwiches
and coffee. So it will not be necessary
to bring dinner.
Let's have for our slogan-Meet me
at the Fair December II.

Explanatio.

Since the publication of Lne Cantey
Letter in The Times last week. we
have been greatly mortified, and can
assure our readers had we conformed
70 our usual custom, this letter would
not have appeared as it was written.
We make it rule to read articles,
whether signed by the name OF the
writer or not, before they are given to
the printers, for the very purpose OF
editing out anything calculated to give
offense, but in this instance, being in
disposed, we gave the letter to the
printers without reading it, never for
moment suspec,ing thee were any,
thing IN it of q personal or offensive
nature until we received letter from
a citizen OF Summerton; 1t was then for
the first time we read it. We assure
our readers after reading parts OF this
letter we feel greatly mortified and
imposed upon. We would not nave
permitted the offensive portions OF the
letter 10 these columns had we known
OF its contents or nature, words WILL not
express our regret for this unfortunate
incident, and while we realize there is
good ground for the indignation the
people feel. we hope and trust they will
overlook it this time, With our assur-
ance that it cannot be repeated as long
as we are conducting newspaper.
The people Of Summerton should
know We would not purposely lend our
self 10 an individual or individuals to
give them o1ense, we have warm per-
sonal friends among them, and there
are DO people for whom we have a high
er esteem, feeling as we do in this
matter, on receipt of letter yesterday
morning We replied to it explaining g
our situation, and asked the writer to
not judge US harshly The humiliation
and modification this incident caused
us should be sufficient punishment.
MIR. Cantey has in this issue letter
of explanation which may or may not
be satisfactory, but this much is cer-
tain, be, nor any one else, will never
have letter published in these col.
umns again without our closest
scrutiny.

The newspapers throughout
the State are criticising Gov
erner Blease severely for his
exercise. of the pardorilg power.
but they do not have anything
to say about the petitioners who
petition him to grant leniency.
We presume the governor based
his action upon largely signed
petitions, and the recommenda.
tious of the trial of6cers-Judges
and the solicitors, therefore, it
would be only fair before we
form a judgment to know his
reasons before we criticise him.
The trouble with many of the
newspapers is that they censure
him right or wrong, and because
of this attitude, it is difficult to
know when their criticisms are
justified.

County School Fair,

The County School Fair is an as
sured success so far as all indications
now point. A large majority of the
schools o. the county have engaged
one or more booths in which they will
display their exhibits. Clark'S large
tobacco warehouse has been secured,
and arouud its sides the booths will be
constructed. These latter arrange.
ments are now being perfected. The
next teachers Association meeting will
be held at the arehouse on Saturday,
December 9Th, on which occasion, the
teachers will busy themselves in max
| iny advance preparations on their re-
spectve booths. The Flushing touches
can then be added the following week.
leaving very little to be done on the
morning of the 18th.
A fne band of music will dispense
lively music to the crowds during the
day the fair is in progress.
Some few schools have reported that
it vii be impossible for them to have
an exhibit, but that they will be here
and have place in the parade. There
are at least 2500 school children in ihe
county. and we want every one OF them
in this grand parade Let them be
here and keep in touch with their re-
spective teachers.
The parade will form at the graded
school building, march down town,
aroud the court house. thence to the
Fair grounds. Headed by good band
of music, this should prove an inspir-
ing sight. Let every family in the
county so lay your plans as to be here
on that occasion, thus giving your
children an outing that will be both
pleasant and profitable.
Respectfully,
F. J. BROWNE,
County Supt. of Education.

Bow Sad?

A deplorable accident occurred last
FRIDAY afternoon near Jordan, in which
Ollie Rawlinson the fifteen year old
SOD Of Mr.. W. J. Rawlinson, Jr., was
killed. The victim of this accident
was az exceedingly bright boy, great
help TO his parents, often taking his
fathers place to attend to the business
of the place, and while the father was
away from bone on business, Ollie
went into the field TO weigh and haul
in cotton, CARRYING wish him a newly
purchased shot gun, arriving at the
place where the haods had thelrtcotton,
be placed bis gun against post. and
Felix Bunyan a colored boy took bold
OF it and it discharged, striking young
Rawltnson in the face, killing him IN
stantly. Coroner Gray held an inquest
and the jury rendered q verdict that
the deceased came to his death from 3
aunshot wound from gun IN the hands
of Felix Bunyan, aod upon this verdict,
The Coroner c0mmitted Bunyon W JAIL.
A pathetic feature of this very sad
tragedy is the fact that MIR. RaWlln-
son, the father got the gun for his boy
only 8 few davs before, saying at the
time that he did so with misgivings, as
be thought his son was really too
young to own gun, but the little fel-
low seemed to have bis heart so SET on
it that be reluctantly gave him his
promise he woulI get him gun for
Thanksgiving day. BE came TO Man

Ollie came to Manning himself and
paid for the gun, then went back home,

forfeit for the pleasure Of owning. q

this bereaved parent will prove a !sst-
lug lesson To other indulgent parents.
