FARM FACTS

He who plows can produce
anything, including health and
happiness.
The magic influence of the
pillow will make a desert bloom
and blossom.
The problems of farming are
as serious as the multiplication
tables.
Successful farming and mar
keting are the basis of all human
progress.
Farming is successful only
when the crops have been prof
itably marketed.
Good roads broaden our sym
pathy, lessen distance and in
crease our usefulness.
It's the man who really counts
in farming. Fertile land is nee
essary, but a master mind must
solve the problems of production
and marketing.

Russia is bound to be the ma
terial winner at the close of this
war. Russia is the only one of
the five nations of Europe engag-
ed in war that is self-supporting
in the matter of foodstuffs. 1t
has an area of nine million square
miles or three times that of the
United States. The Manufact-
urer's Record points out that the
distance across Russia from its
western to its eastern confines is
about 5000 miles or 3 times the
distance from New York to San
Francisco. Russia cannot be bot
tied up. To destroy Napoleon
and his armies Russians applied
the torch to their own cities.
Their car is the god-head and
the king-head. His soldiers fol-
low blindly and execute his or
ders.

Gus, the Most Wonderful
of All Exhibitions,
Coming.

To suit the young and the old
the modern exhibition must COM
bine education with amusement
and present something that will
make a lasting and favorable
impression on the public. Owing
to the rapid disappearance of the
Indian and the astonishing adj
vance of the west towards civil
lization, the history of that large
and important portion Of our
country is yet an unwritten book
to thousands of our people.
The Kit Carson Buffalo Ranch
Big Three-Ring Wild West Cir
Gus faithfully reproduces life OIL
the frontier, showing Indian
sports and warfare, the skill of
the Cowboy with six shooter,
lasso and pony, the discipline
and training of the western girl,
the clever work of the bolas
throwers of the South American
plains, the Arabs in their won
derful riding and shooting, the
Mexicans as marksmen and
horsemen, the Cossacks of the
Russian steppes and the innum-
cradle other features of this I'M
surpassed entertainment.
The military tournament IN
troduced is something never
equalled either in magnitude or
picturesqueness. Engaged in it
are Famous American Zouaves,
u. S. Cavalry, English, German,
French and Mexican soldiers and
many other interesting people
who will be strangers to many
hundreds who see them here.
Kit Carson's Buffalo Ranch
Big Three-Ring Wild West Cir
Gus will have five bands of mu-
sic, the most famous of which is
the cowboy band. The great
| street cavalcade will be witness
ed By thousands on day OF exhi-
bition. Excursion trains will ar
rive throughout the morning and
our city will have on her gala
dress.
Impress the date of exhibition
on your mind. Will exhibit at
Mt. Sterling on Saturday, Octo-
Der II, afternoon and night.

FARM-To-CITY
PARCEL POST


designated by the Post Office
Department for trying out the
parcel post as a medium of ex-
change between producers and
consumers.
Postmaster General Burleson
has made public reports from
these cities. The reports are gen
orally favorable and Mr.. Burle-
son says they demonstrate that
the farm-to-city service has-come
to stay. In some localities the
system has become a potent fac
tor in reducing the cost of living.
In few instances the producers
are preventing the expansion OF
the service by asking too much
for their products. There is
some complaint of damage to
shipments though the average OF
such damage is exceedingly
small.
A summary of the report from
the ten cities is interesting. The
postmaster at Atlanta says the
service has grown rapidly and
has compelled the express COM
panies to make better rates and
improve their facilities. During
the summer the post office han
died an average of 100 farm-to-
city parcels a day. The post
master at Birmingham reports an
average of seventy-fve such par
cells a day and says the service
is looked upon with general fa-
vor. The postmaster at San
Francisco predicts the new serv-
ice Twill become an important
factor in the commerce of Cali
fornia."
Lynn, Mass, reports a weekly
average Of $50 parcels of farm
produce. The postmaster at
Boston thinks the plan is Sue
cess and is of great benefit. The
postmaster at Washington says
there has been an increase of Is
per cent in the receipts of farm
produce. The postmaster at BAL
timore reports that he is receiv-
ing from 90 to 100 parcels of farm
produce daily. He gives two rea-
sons why the growth of the sys-
TEN is hampered. Housekeepers
he says, prefer to see farm pro-
duce before purchasing and have
found that the producers expect
to sell at the middleman's prices,
thus eliminating the inducemenr
of economy. The producers fear
the uncertainty of payment and
object to the cost and trouble.
During May and June the post
master at St. Louis handled near
lily 10000 packages of produce.
He says the service is "a popu-
lar and useful adjunct to the mar
keting facilities of St. Louis"
The two smallest cities in the
list, Lacrosse, Wis, and Rock
Island, ILL.,, send in the least ia
vorable reports. The postmaster
at Lacrosse thinks the plan will
have a tendency to keep local
prices right" The postmaster
at Rock Island says: Unit! the
producer and consumer can be
educated to the necessity of shar-
ling the middleman's profit with
one another the system will not
meet with success"
The action of the Post Office
Department in extending the
campaign to other cities shows
that it is pleased with the results
so far obtained.

LIQUOR NOT AN ISSUE.

Every whip stitch candidate
for governor attempts to drag
the liquor question into the cam
paign, we had hoped this measly
question would sleep on until the
time would come when the peo.
pie could realize that such laws
cannot be enforced without a
healthy public sentiment to sus-
tain them. There is no need to
conside, the liquor question at
this time-it should not be per-
mltted to be made an issue, but
if this question is to be consid-
cred, it should not be in connec-
ton with the candidacy for gov
ernor, as that official has abso-
lutely nothing to do with making
laws; it is his business to enforce
such laws as the legislature en-.
acts, and all he can do is to
promise to use his great Office to
encourage the enforcement of
the law. ANY Of the gentlemen
running for governor would en-
deavor to enforce the law wheth.
er it be the liquor or any other
law, therefore we say it sounds
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1914-07-08

We note the tendency of young
college graduates breaking into
politics as starter to a career,
especially IS this the case with
young law graduates. A young
man just emerging from a law
school does not wait to get &C.
quainted with the people or their
needs becomes obsessed with an
idea that to run for the legisla-
ture is an advertisement for his
profession. One of the greatest
complaints of the people is that
we have too many laws and too
FREQUENT changes in the laws
that we have, that before the
people learn the provisions of a
statute, it is changed with the
result that it keeps the masses
in ignorance of the laws of the
land, and the election of these
young chaps to the legislature is
largely responsible for the con,
fusion, and the complications.

The system of heckling such
as took place at Florence, Col:
umbia and Spartanburg does
not take we'll with the masses,
and the chairmen of the meet.
ings should not permit it, even
though they have to resort to
refusing to permit the candi'
dates to proceed with their
speeches. This is a free country
and free speech, and, whenever
the crowds refuse to give re-
spectful attention to who address
them, it is a source of intoler.
ance that good thinking people
will not endorse. When people
do not care to hear a candidate
they can retire and leave him
to those that wish to hear
him, but when they remain and
resort to heckling it is an lndi.
cation of a "frame up" which
has, or should have the effect OF
a boomerang.

There is one thing we admire
about Hon. Charles A. Smith
candidate for governor, and the
gentleman we expect to vote for,
it IS his manly speeches, their is
none of the demagogue in what
he says, nothing of the glittering
bait to catch votes but there is a
frank statement, and throughout
his speeches Charles A. Smith
gives his hearers the impression
that he is prompted by patroitlc
motives in seeking the high
office of governor. He approaches
it as one who has served in the
ranks and is entitled, on merit, to
promotion. He has served in
the lower house, then presided
over the Senate with distinction,
in these two positions he served
an apprenticeship for the guber-
material chair. If Charles A.
Smith is made governor of this
state we feel sure be will give to
the people a wise and an eco.
nomical administration.

Clarendon County is freer to.
day from factional bitterness
than it has been for many years.
The people are going to vote as
they see fit regardless of the ef-
forts to create prejudice by cir
culating all manner of tales.
Those who vote will do so with
out having their minds prejud'
iced by travelling yarn distribu-
tors. The fact is, the day has
come when man that under.
takes to go about prejudicing
voters against a candidate, has
got to show more than they
say" to make the people place
any confidence in his efforts.
The day for misrepresentation
is no more we nope, and we
hope too, the people will not
permit themselves Influenced BY
those who have axes to grind.

indeed to have with US, May 22,
Messrs D. W. Alderman and R.
J. Alderman of Alcolu. We cele-
brated on that day the twenty
second anniversary of the ad-
mission of the first child into the
institution. Brother D. W. AL
derman was for five years trus-
tee OF the institution. Brother
R. J. Alderman is a generous
friend to the institution, and
their presence was very encour-
aging to the children and officers,
and their addresses were both
very much enjoyed. Members of
their family accompanied them
to Greenwood, and it was a de,
light to have them. Connie

1t is with great difficulty to
reach anything like a defnate
conclusion with regards to the
gubernatorial contest, the main
reason being because the reports
in the daily newspapers are so
megre, and unreliable that to
get anything of a semblance of a
fair report personal attendance
would be necessary. The daily
newspapers could if they would
give to their readers reports
which would give them "a fair
idea how things are running but
our newspapers seem to think
the campaign news of little con-
sequence.

The compulsory education ad.
vocates will do much towards
enlightening the people if they
will show how the work of fore
ing the children into the schools
can be accomplished with the
present school building facilities.
The statistics show that all of
our school houses are crowded,
and in many communities the
people are adding additional tax
alton to increase the building g
capacity for the children, with
this condition, the question aris-
es how are we going to enforce
compulsory attendance in the
schools.

are against Huerta have him on

HE IS A GOOD MAN.

Among those who have an.
nounced t h ir candidacy IN
Williamsburg we note the card
of Senator E. G. Epps, of King.
stree, who Will stand for re.
election. The Times does not
wish to be regarded as ''butting
in'' on Williamsburg politics, but
it will take the liberty to say
that it's editor has been a co.
laborer with Senator Epps for
the past four years, and he has
the highest esteem for the man.
Senator Epps is regarded in the
Senate as one of it's most con:
scientious workers, a man who
does not permit prejudice to
blind him from doing that which
is right, nor cause him to dc
wrong for petty advantage. He
was among that class OF. senators
who did not approve of convert,
ing the senate chamber into a
factional convention. He is pro.
gressive but always within rea'
son, and the people 'ot Williams
burg have never had a Repre-
sentative who was more pains
taking in looking after their in.
terests. If the voters of that
county will inquire closely into
Senator Epps' record they will
return him with a flattering vote
we are sure.

The more We think about the
entrance of Messrs. Pollock and
Jennings in tie senatorial cam
paign the more do we wonder
what they 'expect to get out OF
their efforts. Surely neither OF
them believe they stand achance
of winning, nor can they believe
they are deceiving anybody
when they ridicule the record OF
Senator Smith. The race for
the senate is between Blease and
Smith, and if forty Jennings and
forty Pollocks were in the race
the result will be the same.
