The Times has received some bronze
pocket pieces medals from the South
Carolina Exposition Commission, and
it is authorized to give @one OF these

hibit at the Panama-Pacifc exposition
st San Francisco next year.
The county executive committeeman
have not as yet sent in the names OF
the managers for sheir respective clubs,
and it is important that it be 6oue
right away. Send the names to Coun-
sy Chairman S. 0. O'Bryan at once, in
order that he may give the proper no

party.
We received from Mr.. J. F. Brad

ne sets up as an example for farmers
to be guided by for big corn. It meas

The federal government is in position
to issue money and from the press dis
patches it will put into circulation a
billion dollars IL it is necessary to pre-
vent panic, but the state legislature
has no such power, and the suggestion
TO call an extra session TO our mind is
hysterical, if not for q sinister purpose.
Any one knowing of q needy. home
less, deformed, or crippled child un-
able to pay for a surgical operation
should communicate with The South
Carolina Children's Home Society.
Greenville, s. c. They find homes for
the homeless, and through their efforts
many crippled children have received
the necessary surgical attention. In

The many friends OF Rev. B. F. Nc.
Lendon who is now conducting series
of meetings 10 Darlington County, will
visit friends in Manning for week.
He and his family will be here from the
10Th to the 10th, and On Thursday
night OF the 18th at $50 o'clock he will
preach in the graded school building.
It is needless for US to say the building
will be filed TO capacity, and we would
suggest to those desiring to attend, to
go early to get good seats.
In reply to our friend who asks US to
tell him something about B. F. Kelley
q candidate for lieutenant governsr.
we will say that Mr.. Kelley is we'll
qualified tor the position. having serv-
ed in the Senate. We regard him thor
oushly competent to preside over that
BODY. The Times editor has served
with him in the Senate, and will vote
for him for lieutenant governor. Mr..
Kelley is from Lee County. and he has
MANY friends in this County.
There is a considerable amount Of
pumshoeipg going on these DAYS, but

cry move that is made on the political
checker board is known. Good strong
and faithful eyes are Watching Sumter,
Summerton, Manning, Fork, and other
points. and reports are being made
from places where few would suppose.
Therefore the political manipulators
NAV lust as well come out in the open
TO do their work.
William Nelson while on his way
home from Kingstree, was startled

Cedar Lane. He had no gun with him.
and the only weapon he had was a
Quart flask, this he picked up and was

he concluded net to, and the deer got
away. Had Nelson hit the deer the
animal would have had good reason to
feel that he had been struck by light

filed with Kingstree dispensary liquor.
