A Good Performance.

The performance given at the school
auditorium last Thursday evening was
indeed very creditable. and it deserved
the splendid audience which greeted
it. The program was carried out with
as much precision as if professionals
were on the stage, and when it is con-
sidered that the players were Manning
BOYS who had but short time to prac-
tice, their performance was a little
short of wonderful.
The jokes, singing and dancing
brought forth mirth and applause. The
first part of the program was the min
strel, and while all of them did splend-
i'd we think the role of preacher by
Charlie Wells, who is as much like
sleek country preacher.that lives
among de bredrin, OF course when
blacked up, as "nigger preacher"
ever was, and the female impersona-
ton work by Edwin johnson could not
be excelled. These two numbers to-
gether with the monologue by Her
man Bradham were features that de-
serve especial mention.
After the minstrel was drama nice

will be greeted by fully as large audi

At Rest.

Died at the home of Mr.. f. R. Watts
March the 30th, 1914, Mrs. E. J. Watts,
a true Christian and loving mother and
grandmother. God permitted her to
this earth eighty-four years. She was
always true to her church until illness
prevented her from going. She suffered
many years, but bore it patiently until
the time came for her to go up higher
where all good Christians work no
more. She was left widow with seven
little children, her husband dying IN
the war, but she worked and toiled un-
til she raised all of her children honest
men and women. She leaves to mourn
her loss seven children, sixty-two
grand children and forty.fiVe great
grand children, besides host OF
friends. All that loving hands could
do was done, but God sent forth his
angels to bear her safely home. Gone
dear grandmother to thy home above,
we miss you on earth, but We know we
will find you on the golden shore.
wait for thee, O, grandmother!
But for little while;
This night my longing eyes may meet
Thy joyful, welcome smile.
Gone, dear grandmother. but not
forgotten.

SUMMERTON.

For something like "a years, Candi.
dates for the various State offices haV-
ing been canvasing the State, from
County to County, and it seems this has
been very satisfactory TO the voters as
have heard no complaint, until re.
Gently and now comes the cry from the
News Papers to abolish the County-to
County campaign meetings, giving as
their excuse that there is Two much
expense attached thereto, and men now
in Office and seeking reelection
neglecting their duty etc.
Now fellow voters for d years these
campaign meetings have been held,
and it was alright. until now, and
why? I believe I would speak the
truth if I was to say, even with the as.
sistance of Burns, Fielder, Porter and
Dictsgrapb, they failed to accomplish
their purpose two years ago.
AS far as people not turning out to
hear these candidates speak it will be
remembered, that long before the
State campaign opened two years ago.
there was a man seeking the highes,
Office in the gift of the people, and 60
ing from County-to-C County making
speeches and those same people now
-ho are saying, people will not 20 ou'
w hear candidates speak was following
this man with The polish, and telling
what great crowds greeted him.
I can only speak for my self but IL
my humble judgment the County-to
County meeting is the only way mar
should be picked for sny State office,
because he is 4 servant OF all the peo-
pie, and they should see, hear anC
know him, and l do not think the May
convention. or the State Executive
committee, has any right to abolish
these meetings, and hope they may see
it in the same light.
But should these meetings be abol
ished l do not believe the people would
be governed by what the newspaper:
would say, for I do not think it would
be disputed that some of them haye
certainly been unfair to some mer
who have and will be candidates again
and l do not have 10 mind any partic'
ular man when I say this.
But long to see the time come wher
the whole people will accept the YER
dict OF the majority, and who ever
may be elected from the highest to the
lowest, put their shoulder to the whee
and push for law and order, and good
government.
In conclusion let me say if this glor
ious Southland, ever dear old South
Carolina, belongs to the white man
let all have equal rights at the ballo
box, aud special privileges to none
and let politicians quit riding int
office on the one gallus fellow, tht
wool hat man, and the farmer, whel
these things take place, political war
will no longer be in existence, ant
Justice will be meted out to all like

POLLUTED WATER.
Two Simple Tests by Which It's In.

TWO Simple escs py Whicn lrS tn'
purity Bay Be Noted.
Every one knows and admits the ne
cessity fcc pure water. When you are
away from home and are not sure Of
the character Of the water supply 1t
would not be bad idea to make few
simple tests. The results may prove
that it was decidedly worth while to
take the trouble, says the New York
Sun. Here are two tests that you can
make very easily:
Fill q tumbler with water, drop in
lump Of white sugar, cover it with a
saucer and let it stand overnight On
the bricks at the side Of the range, Cd
the kitchen mantelpiece or, in fact,
anywhere where the temperature will
not sink below 60 degrees. If next
morning the contents are clear the wa
ter is pure. If, on the other hand, the
liquid is cloudy some source Of con-
taminaton is indisputably proved.
The second test is to drop few
grains Of permanganate Of potash into
a tumbler Of water, cover and let It
stand for an hour. IF the water Is
still Of the bright rosy color to which
the chemical turned 1t, 1t Is perfectly
safe for drinking. If it is Of brown
ish color it is impure, although the I'M
purity may be Of the kind that boiling
will rob Of its power to harm.

Passed In The Great Beyond.

Died at his home near Turberllle
last night about II O'Clock, Hon. E. NJ
Kennedy, aged about 35 years. Mr.
Kennedy had just finished his frs,
term in the legislature when he came
home i'll with pneumonia, and it was a
struggle from the start to keep life in
him with all the skill of the doctors
and the ministrations of trained nurses,
He was good man and citizen, beloved
by his neighbors, and at the State cap
itol he made many friends by his quiet
demeanor, and sterling character. AS
a representative he had the coGnty's
welfare at heart, and in the exercise OF
his judgment he was independent and
sound. He leaves wife and four chill
dreu. The funeral takes place this
afternoon at St. James church in San.
dy Grove township. The deceased was
a member of the Baptist church, a
Mason, Woodman and knight.

nently a book word, though it is also
scattered somewhat thinly through the

Editor The Manning Times:
Dear Sir:
The Charleston Business Men
fifty strong with Cbarleston's Crack
Metzs' Band, will visit your city the
18th OF this month as per the enclosed
schedule. We have named this trip q
"Ges Together Excursion" and We
wish it distinctly understood that is
lust what it is to be. We wish to
meet your people and to talk with
YOUR Business Men. We believe that
it is to the mutual advantage OF both

With the opening OF the greatest
national undertaking in history, the
Panama Canal, all eyes are turned to-
wards the sea and our great National
Ports. We want the people TO feel
that the Port of Charleston is and
should be to much greater degree, an
asset of the entire South and especially
of the States of North and South Caro-
lima. We want to know you and your
special opportunities for trade and de-
velopment just as we want you to know
US. We believe that this aim can be
attained by no better method than by
sending our representatives to meet
your people in your home city.
These representatives will express
for US our deep appreciation of your
courtesy and sincere wish that we may
be drawn into closer cooperation and
understanding. They will extend to
your people one and all a cordial invi.
tation to visit Charleston at any and
all times and assure you that the latch
string of the city will always hang on
the outside.
Very cordially yours,

Having been without a cold for q
years, French lady, who holds this
fortunate record, attributes it to the
following process. Each morning aft,

the back Of her neck and ears with
the very coldest water she can get for
about two minutes. In cold weather
one may feel inclined to shirk, she
says, but the result Of steady applica-
ton she has found a plentiful re.
ward.
