Manuine's Cotton Market.

In former seasons there was complaint
of Manning not being abreast Of the
times as cotton market, but this com
plant cannot be truthfully laid at Man
ning;s door now, because it does not ex-
ist this season. and the indications are
there will be no ground for such COM
piaint any more. Mauuing today is one
of the best selling markets in this Sec
ton of the State, from the beginning OF
this seasons marketing it has paid
more for cotton than elsewhere, and an
investigation will prove Manning has
paid anywhere IRON 25 20 so points more
than the nearby markets. The buyers
here have started off well, if thev keep
it up, as they seem determined they
will, an increased quantity of the staple
will be attracted to Manning, and the
merchants who are largely responsible
for the present favorable conditions,
will give it encouragement by Offering
good values at close figures. and keep
in their stores just what the people
want; with the farmers getting in Man
ming good prices for their principal
product. and the opportunity TO buy
what they need at fair prices there is
every Indication of this being great
season for the business interests OF this
town.

cording to Il story in the New YORK

the quick wit of prime minister once
played al important part In the history
Of the Netherlands.
William ILL.,. king Of the Netherlands,
was u man of violent and ungovernable
temper Although in generalsa clever

reason or other. to involve Holland In

with fury, jumped up and seized a
heavy silver inkstand, with the inten'

premier. Fortunately a projecting an

For q minute the angry king gazed IN

A Cla,endonian'S Carecr.

Mr. Editor:-You have always pub
lished with interest and qualification
the success Of anr sen of Clarendon who
wins fame even in the most distant
cline. None have climbed the rugged
heights TO such national and inter.rst-
innai fame as Col David DuB,se Gail.
/ lard of the engineer corps of the United
States army. Col Gaillard was 5orn at
Fulton, in this county, in the summer
residence of his grandfather Hon
David S.. Pierre DuBose. In his SIX
teenth year he clerked in WinnSboro,
and worked inGustriou>ly for his en-
| player until bed time, then he applied
himself TO his studies at Light, and with
carefully selected books he kept abreast
of any student, just at this juncture a
competitive examination was adverlis-
ed for West Point, and he won over
eight young men fresh from the hall If
their Alma Mater He forged ah-ad ut
the nations military school and carried
off one of the highest honors. He was
ordered to duty at Washington. and did
fine service in the engineering depart
nent. President Roosevelt took him TO
a huge aqueduct 10 which he wanted
some radical changes, the other engi-
neers at Washington told him it could
not be done. Gaillard modestly said he
would give it his best effort, and he
succeeded in accomplishing the task.
He won the President confidence ever
after, and was appointed Colonel of a
regiment Of engineers numbering one
thousand strong, this command went to
the front 10 the Spanish-American war.
Many prayers will be waited from Clar.
eodon to John hopkins for his recoy
cry. The following is taken from the
Chicago Tribune:
GAILLARD OF CULEBRA.
II he had held CITY againsu desper-
ate seige for month after month, h.
would have been called "the hero of
- every school boy would know
his name, and thrill would have run
through the nation when the report OF
his physical breakdown appeared in
large headlines in the press
But David DuBose Gaillard has been
engaged in task more difficult, per-
baps, and as important 10 his country,
and he has paid the penalty OF his grim
resolution, his duty, and his enthusiasm,
and now lies periIously Ill 10 Johns
Hopkins HOSPITAL just as his splendid
service is nearing its completion. Lieut..
Col. Gaillari is the man OF the Culebra
Cut. 1t is he who, day by day, has d.
rected aud personally led the fight
against the treacherous slides, master
ed their strategy, and won the fight for
the Canal
For months Col Gaillard's strength
has been yielding, it is reported. to the
strain, yet he has worked twelve hours
dav much Of the time in the stagger-
ing heat of the cut. Finally nature de-
manded her fee, and Gaillard, of Gu
Zebra, fell like commander on the field
Of victory Whether he will survive or
whether he will be restored TO health
cannot now be predcted. But no man
who ever laid down his life on field
for the Republic better deserves its
gratitude and the memory of his coun-
trymen than David DuEose Gaillard.

SEES WAY TO CUT DOWN HIGH
PRICE OF BEEF

Washington, Sept. 9.-Rep. Fred
A. Britten of Illinois introduced bill
prohibiting killing and interstate
shipment of beef cattle under two
years of age, which he believes may
help reduce soaring price of beef.
He states that during 1911 there
were slaughtered 100000 calves,
weighing 100000, 900 pounds. If these
calves had been allowed to live for
two years, figuring 1,400 pounds as
the average weight for 2-year-old
cow or steer, they would have pro-
tduced II, 200,O00,00Q pounds of beef.
