President Fischer made very inter-
esting talk on the subject of carriers
organizing, in which he referred to
what had been done for the association,
the encouragement it received from
the postal authorities, and what was in
store, for the future. He was followed
by Mr.. TurbeYiile, who also stressed
the importance Of the organization.
that he is an old member and has at
tended number of the State meetings,
where he received much valuable in-
formation-s- He is member OF the ex-
ecutiye committee which makes him a
member Of the convention, therefore

Well Mr.. editor, all that the farm

to set their crops to growing, for they
are indeed suffering for it.
Miss Corrina Morris is spending q
fortnight with her sister, in Sumter.
Miss Lille Morris who has been

Mrs, J. D. McElveen, who have been
suffering from rheumatism for some
time is slowly improving.

sickness in our community, whooplng
cough is raging among the little ones.

luck at fishing these suushiny days.
Mr.. J. Il. Morris one of the ruling
stockholders in the new warehouse a,

Mo rr;o6 or Trinity nhnrch TarDOn

Married at Trinity church. Tarpor
Springs Fla, on the evening OF the
18th, inst MIR. Arthur Graham Jones
son of the late Hon. George Il. Jones
of Davis Station, and Essie Melissa Vim
son. The marriage was one OF the so
cial events of the city of Tarpor
Springs, followed with an elaborate
reception at the home of the brides
parents. The bridal couple after the
reception went on tour to Washing
ton, Baltimore. New York and other
cities North. MIR Jones is Claren'
don raised boy, and has won his way
to the front in his profession as teie-
graph operator, and for the past three
years has held a responsible position
with the Atlantic Coast Line.
Monday afternoon about o'clock the
two story building belonging to the
estate of the late Mrs. NJ. o. Burgess,
and occupied by the family of Mr.. Hen
ry Touchberry as the Hotel Mecca,
was destroyed by FIRE. The fire was
discovered on the roof, and is supposed
to have caught from a defective hue,
the family had been doing some iron
ing and it is thought from this fire the
building caught. The engine did
splendid service keeping the flames
from spreading to adjacent buildings,
but it was impossible to save the burn
ing structure, the building was very
old and the tinbers burned like tindar.
Mr.. Touchberry managed to save a
part of his furniture in damaged con-
dition. he had $500 insurance or it,
and there was a $1,000 policy on the
building.
There is one thing which impresses
US in the coming to Manning of Rev.
B. F. McLendon. The admirers OF
this man at his home where he was
reared have written letters to their
friends singing his praises, and be-
speaking for him the attention of this
community, among the recipients OF
these letters is The Times editor, and
in each one received by him Mr.. Nc
Lendor is spoken of in the highest
terms, as to his earnestness, piety, and
ability, and in each letter there was an
earnest appeal to do everything to
make MIR. McLendon's meeting here g.
success. We say We are impressed by
this manifestation, it augers veil for
the man, it also speaks in ringing tones
what may be expected from one who
has demonstrated his inspiration to
move mankind to higher purposes.
It will be pleasure to The Timec
editor, and he will regard it privi-
lege to give this gentleman what aid
be can, and to encourage him to make
his stay in our town worthy OF his
efforts.

in the state house. Mr.. Searson, the
expert accountant, in order to secure
the information asked for, had 70 60 to
the original source, the Office OF the
county commissioners, just as the dele
CATION did, with this difference, Mr..
Searson was handsomely paid for going
through the books and original
papers,and from the information he Sc
cured. he wrote his report to his en-
ployers. The delegation does not rep.
resent itself to be expert accountants,
nor was it its duty nor was it ex-
pected for it to 20 through the
records Of the court house for informa-
ton, such information Is to be sup
piled by the officers, and whatever they
furnish the delegation with, is all it
has to 60 by. This has been the prac-
tice always. and it will continue to be
the practice always. but whenever, as
has been done in this case, an expert
has been put on the books whereby
proper information is furnished, the
delegation then will have ground to
stand on when it seeks 10 provide tor
necessary taxation.

Crossed Over The Riyer.

Died at the Mcleod In6rmary in
Florence last Thursday morning, Cap
tain Isaac Ingram Bsgnal OF Manning.
The deceased was In the 4Sth year OF
his age, graduate OF the Citadel. we
think in the first class after the .feor-
,eanization of the famous institution.
His first two years after graduation
was spent ir his home town teaching.
He was chosen Captain OF the Man
ming Guards, which he made one OF
the best militia companies in the State;
at the establishment of The Bank OF
Manning he accepted position as
bookkeeper, later he organized the
Manning Grocery Co., which he man
aged for number OF years, retiring to
accept position as travelling sales
man, and built up splendid trade; we
have it from his employers and his
comrades on the road, that there was
no more popular salesman in the SER
vice, and the news OF his death cast a
gloom upon the fraternity; several OF
his fellow travellers attended the fun
eral, and brought with them magnff-
cient floral tributes.
The body arrived Thursday evening,
and was met by large concourse OF
people, it was taken to his late home,
and Friday morning the funeral took
place in the Manning cemetery with
masonic honors. Rev. L. B. McCord
pastor of the Presbyterianichurch, OF
which church the deceased was life
long member, conducted the religious
rites, as we'll as assisting in the masonic
ceremonies.
The pallbearers were: Joseph Sprott,
A. c. Bradham. Louis Levi, S. Oliver
O'Bryan, S. L. Huggins and Louis
Applet. The floral tributes were
numerous and beautiful, friends from
far and near sent their offerings to
attest their affection for the deceased;
among the floral pieces was one from
his comrades the T. P. A. and another,
q magni6cient masonic emblem from
his lodge St. Peters No. 81.
The deceased leaves wife and seven
children, and his bereaved family
has the sincere sympathy Of this en-.
tire community, for everybody had a
most affectionste feeling for their
loved one. Our readers will, we are
sure, excuse a personal reference.
Ingram Bagns] was personal friend,
it vas with his parents the writer lived
and it was in their home that he was
made to feel the kindly touch OF home
life. his father and mother were his
staunchest friends, therefore this Wis.
itation of Providence Is keenl. !elt, il
Is his earnest prayer that q loving Coo
will guard and protect those he has
left behind.

Do Not Fan 10 Enroll.

The Democratic Executive Com.
mi,tee met in the court house Monday
in accordance with the requirement OF
the new constitution; all OF the clubs
were represented by the regularly
elected members except Pinewood.
Manning and the Farmers Platform, in
these cases unavoidable absence pre-
vented the attendance. sn. their places
were filled by proper proxies. 1mmed-
lately after the organization by enroll
ing the members an election was en-
tered into for Secretary, which result
ed in the election of J. M. Windham
who has served in this capacity for a
number OF years.
The new constitution vas read by
sections and its provisions followed as
far as it was possible. The result OF
this labor is seen in the official notice
published in another column. The
committee found it extremely difficult
to arrange satisfactory all OF the club
districts, and we believe yet that it
will be unsatisfactory in many in
stances, however, we advise the people
to be patient with it for this year. and
hope that when the State convention
assemblies again it will see the wisdom
of making such changes as will simplify
the rules, so that citizen will not have
to be inconvenienced in the manner
the new rules require. =.
While it is true there is nothing IN
the neG rules to prevent a man from
exercising his right to be enrolled, that
is to say, there is nothing IN them
which forbids him to enroll the prac-
ticaf effect in our opinion, Tlll be to
cut of hundreds and hundreds from
getting their names on the books, ana
whether their fault or not, they will be
disfrapchised.
We cannot urge too strongly the
necessity OF every white man making
some sacrifice to place his name on his
proper club. II the proponents OF this
new scheme had q purpose to eliminate
q large number Of voters it Is up to
these voters to thwart them IN the
purpose, because the only way their
scheme csn succeed is tor the people
to lay down, become Indifferent, and
not make the effort to have white
mans privilege. AS we have said IN a
previous issue. this is not question OF
candidates for Office, 1t matters not
who q man favors for this or that Office,
it is his duty to himself, his family and
his community. that he have the priv
ilege OF citizen in good standing. and
surely no man will contend that he IS
in good standing when he is not equip
ped with the rights Of citizenship.
