Manning will have water works and
sewerage if the people will vote 1or
this improvements. This will be the
greatest undertaking ever attempted
in this town, and it deserves the most
careful consideration. $4,000 will be
spent in the enterprise, and every cit
izen should give the matter his best
thought. Read the notice Of election
from the town council printed else
where.
Eoroll on the club book in the club
district as fixed by the executive COM
mittee with your full name. Remem-
Der initials will not answer, those who
have signed with their initials should
go back and sign over again. The man
who stops to argue the why's and where
fores of the enrolment requirement IS
waistine his time in useless discussion.
The thing to do Is to comply with the
rules whether you like it or not.
Rev. B. F. McLendon after his ar
duous labors in Manning for the past
three weeks left for his home at Ben
nettsville yesterday morning, and his
singer Mr.. Marshall left the evening
before for Union, they will join each
other at Lydia where Mr.. McLendon
will conduct a series of meetings, and
already plans are being made for his
friends in this town and county to visit
him at Lydia to testify their devotion
for the man who done so much for this
community.
It is the honest duty OF every secre-
tacy to encourage every person entitled
to enroll, but it is runored there is one
club where notices have been sent TO
some persons and others ignored. If
this is true it is wrong, and it wilt be
exposed as the meeting of the execu-
tive committee, and those who have
not been able 'sto catch the man with
the book'' will be enrolled even though
it will require an order from a circuit
Judge. Let Clarendon come clean and
give to every man equal rights.
There is nothing like going after tits
motto of D. Hirschmanu. When busi-
ness begins to lag, he puts into opera
ton a scheme by which he attracts the
money out of its hiding like magnet
attracts a~mineral substance. Hirsch-
mann has put on July clearance sale
at which he proposes to dispose OF a
large proportion of his stock prior to
going to market for fall goods. This
will be an opportunity for everybody to
shake themselves loose from their cash
This sale begins tomorrow and will be
continued for 20 days, but we would not
advise the people to wait for the early
birds to get the best of the piekings.
In response to question from Alco-
In. Is man who has been paroied by
the governor entitled to be enrolled on
a Democratic club roll? We answer
yes. Provided he was not convicted OF
a crime which debars man from Cit
izenship, and the list of disquallfYing
crimes are laid down in section 6 of ar
ticle OF the constitution. We will al
so state that man who was convicted
of selling LIQUOR. or fighting and pa
rolled or even if he served time is not
deprived of his rights of citizenship
and can be enrolled and vote both in,
the primary and the general election!
We have the written opinion from the
attorney general on this subject.
Mention was made last week about
popy contest, some of our merchants
had contradiction; at the time, we had
signed contract with the representa-
tive of the concern to do the advertise
ING, but it seems the young woman had
also pivec the same contract elsewhere.
When ne came to US we told her that
we cid not care for it, but after listen
ING at her tale Of probable loss OF Job
we reluctantly consented to accept her
work, ut seems however, that she was
held to the contract signed before She
had ascertained where some OF her pa
irons desired their advertisements to
appear, and it was embarrassing to her.
When we learned of this we did not
hesitate to tell her friends she should not
consider us-at all, as We only yielded to
her entreaty to save her the loss OF her
lob, that we did not want to have q
part in the contest, and would not hold
her one minute. We did not solicit
her business, do not desire if, and glad
" release her from the contract made
with US.
