A Mass Meeting Suggested.

The Town Council has issued az Or
der for an election to be held July 2lst
on the question of issuing bond-40. 600
for water works and sewerage, and at
the same time, the voters are required
to elect three Commissioners who will
have the management and control Of
the money derived from the sale of the
bonds. We therefore think it but
proper that before said election is held
that there should be mass meeting Of
the property owners TO consider this
important step in the towns progress,
and nominate three Commissioners of
known ability.
We therefore suggest that the prop
erty owners of Manning assemble in
the Court House on Tuesday after
noon July 14ta. at 8 o'clock for the
purpose OF considering the entire prop
os!sion and to nominate the Commis-
siouers required. should the voters de-
eide to vote for the bonds.
Citizens OF Manning the placing of
$40. 900 on the property is a serious
matter, but we think it is for the towns
welfare that it should be done provided
it is done with view OF reaching in its
benefits the most people. Then too,
the Commissioners who are to be en-
trusted with this matter should be men
who know how to handle so large a
proposition. Therefore we think it
good business for those TO be affected
to come together and give this matter
the fullest consideration.
We further believe that every mem
Der of the town council will endorse
this proposition to have mass meeting
to nominate the three Commissioners.
Let US meet on he afternoon of the 14th
at 6 o'clock.

Soft Soap

Look here MIR So and So. I should
like TO see you run for --- Office, if
YOU will, me and mine will do all that
we can to elect you" This. dab OF soft
soap has been given to certain gentle
men living IN different sections OF the
county, but OF course, only to men OF
influence, but who were known would
not give the proposition any consider
alton whatever. The proposition was
not made with a view of getting con-
sent, but for the sole purpose OF putting
these gentlemen under obligations in
case some one connected with the pro-
poser, concludes to run for the office
they are anxious to fud opposition. 1t
very often happens that the use OF
others to pull chesnuts out OF the fire
is very comforting 10 one side of the
proposition.
The person who wants to run for Office
should have the willingness to trust
the without resorting TO all manner OF
deep laid schemes. Let him announce
his intentions, and ii the people want
him they will indicate it at the ballot
box, if they do not want him, they will
do tie same. No man is under obliga-
tions to another for political support
merely because. the one now wanting
support, at one time solicited to run
for the same or some other office-You
run for Office and I will support you
trick is So old that it will not even
fool children.

Editor The Manning Times
Ny Dear Sir: Please allow me space
in your valuable paper TO correct a
wrong impression made in The article,
signed Farmer" in your paper of
last week. The impression is made
that Mr.. Capers, postmaster at Sum-
merton, threatened me by saying that
if did not vote foSS Whaley I would
lose the post Office az Silver. Mr..
Capers is and has been my warm
friend regardless Of who vote for, for
any Office. One day last week he was
my guest and we were attending 10
some insurance business. I told him Of
my friendship for MIR. Dennis and
MIN TO vote for Dennis as he was my
personal friend. Mr.. Capers replied
that he was for Whaley OF principle
and that he could not therefore vote
for my friend Dennis, but that he
thought that I was justifable under the
in voting for Dennis. I
know that Mr.. Capers remarked to
others that he thought I was fully
warranted in voting for Dennis. Farm
er's article creates the impression that
Mr.. Capers tried to disuade me from
voting for Mr.. Dennis. This is an in
Justice to Mr.. Capers, and l would
thank you to publish this correction.
Respectfully,

On the morning of November 18th,

won for him the love of all who knew
him. It was 6:l5 o'clock when the an
Giles came shouting down from Heaven,

this dear little brother. To part with
Them was pain, but our loss are their

He had been great shfferer for
about three months, he came to nv
home on the Sth OF March, and from
that ti,: up to his death he was sure
a great sufferer. But he had said o
good while before his death, that if it
was Gods Will for him to get up again
he was willing, and if it was his Will
to take him he was willing to 60.
And the day he died, he said that be
was willing to bear his suffering here,
and urged US all to prepare to meet
him. And feel sure. and satisfied
that be was wiling and ready to 60
when the call of God came bidding him
to leave this world and go home to rest.
He leaves an aged mother, one sister.
wife and two daughters 10 mourn his
loss.
Yes he is gone, and Oh how long to
be with him there, free from all tcoub-
lie and sorrow, where all is peace and
Joy. and happiness.
He was laid to rest at Home Branch

Dearest father thou has left US,
And our loss we deeply feel,
But It's God that has berefJ US
He can ali our sorrows heal,
Yet again we hope to meet Thee:
When the days of life is fed.
Where in Heaven in j>y to meet Thee
Where no farewell tears is shed.
Precious darling. he has left Us
Left US. Yes forever more;
But we hope 10 meet our loved one
On that bright and happy shore,
Lonely the house, ana sad the home
Since our dear one is gone:
But Oh. brighter home than ours,
10 Heaven is now his own.
The dearest one from lis has gone
A voice we loved is stilled
A place is vacautin our home,
Which can never be flied

The boon, his love had given
And then The body slumber here
The Soul is safe in Heaven.

Committee On Railway Mail Pay.

June 18th. 1914 Ralph Peters.
Chairman of the Committee on Rail-
way Mail Pay. representing 264 rail
roads carrying mails on over 21S0OO
miles of line, authorized the following
statements.
The Rules Com mittee of the House
of Representative has, l am informed,
adopted recon mendation that the So
called "Moon Bill" follow the Sunday
Civil Appropriation Bill now being
considered by the House. The under
lying principle of the Moon Bill is to
reduce the pay of the railroads for car
rying the mails by about $40 900. OOO. 90.
Congress sometime ago appointed a
Joint Committee of which former Sen
ator Jonslhan Bourne Jr., of Oregon,
is the Chairman, :" investigate the
whole subject of rai,wly mail pay and
recommend to Congress the proper
method which should be adopted. That
Commission has conducted most ex-
haustive Investigation but has not yet
reported, although it intends shortly
to do so.
The railroads have, believe, prov
ed conclusively to the Committee that
they are certainly lot overpaid for car
rying the mails, but were. as we see it.
underpaid by at least $4,000. 100000 an-
nually. In making his closing argu-
ment on the Eve per cent advance rate
case, Mr.. Brandeis, as its special coun-
sci, advised the Interstate Commerce
Commission that TO him it seemed
clear that the railways mail service
was unnumerative to the railways.
At the instigation OF the post office
which has, we feel, been
grossly unfair in all questions relating
to compensating the railroads for car
rying the increased burden OF the par
eel post, and before the Joint Congress
sional Committee has rendered its re-
port. Congressman Moon has intro
duced the bill which revised the meth
DDS of paying the railroads in such a
manner as to reduce by about 20 per
cent the compensation now paid to the
railroads.
This proceeding rot only seems high
~ inappropriate in advance Ct the rec
OF the Congressional
Committee, but in it's self proposes an
imposition upon the railroads which is
without warrant and is in the highest
degree unjust. It cannot be that such
a plan will have the support OF the
people when the people real
ize what the plan actually means.

Of Coarse,

To the Editor of The Manning Times:
In my letters to the people Of Clar-
endon county, it has been ny purpose
to tell the truth and nothing but the
truth. I have fallen into one error
and will seek to make amends by apol-
oqizirg for it,
In letter No. g, in speaking OF the
two new County Commissioners, ASK
ed the Senator if they were really
county officials, if be could tell the
date the bill creating them became
law, point US to the page in the record
on which we could read the bill, etc.
I had been told by q friend that this
bill had never passed, and could not be
found 90 the records.
BY reference to the Senate journal
of 1913, dnd the full history OF this
bill, from its introduction to its ratifi-
cation. Therefore, there is no question
whatever, as to the two new County
Commissioners being full aedged OH
cials.
1 therefore apologize TO Senator
Appel for my reference to this matter,
and nope this will be satisfactory.
Yours very truly.
