FOR A BETTER HAYTI.

The eyes of the whole country
are turned toward Southeas,
| Missouri for a place to inves,
surplus money which is in the
hands of men of enterprise, the
effect of which has already been
felt, but not as much as it should
be. Manufactures and other
public enterprises are being es.
tablished in many towns, and
improvement of farming lands is
constantly going on. AS a result
of these improvements in ad.
iacent territory, Hayti is slowly
building, but without practically
any effort to do so. What would
be the result if we put forth the
advertising and energy that other
neighbor cities and towns are
putting forth? No town in South.
east Missouri has IA better loca.
tion than Hayti. Our railroad
facilities are all that could be de-
sired. Then we also have the
advantage of the nearness of the
Mississippi river, which is about
three miles away-far enough
not to give danger from caving
banks. And Hayti is surrounded
on all four sides with as rich
farming country as there is in
the world. There is hardly any.
thing in the way of natural ad
vantages that are not ours. But
there is one thing we do lack, and
that is push and hustle. This has
always been serious handicap,
but there is no reason why this
should be permitted to
exist. 1t is TO our mutual ad.
to work for a bigger and
better Hayti. If we all join
hands as we should, and work for
our interests as hard as other
places do, Hayti would be a city
Of 5000 inside of three years, Do
we hear any responsive voice, or
shall our breath be wasted upon
the desert air?"

Mexican factional leaders are
said to have agreed that bloody
reprisals on prisoners are moth.
ing less than assassination. Thus
civilization advances in the midst
of war; but this good intention
comes rather late in the pro-
ceedings and will not bring back
tolife some fifty or more generals
slain merely because they were
so unfortunate as to get caught.

party were the cause of it all.
Now that cotton is selling for a
higher price than it has sold in
fifty years -.since the civil war
these same people have nothing
to say about the cause of the in.
crease in price. If Wilson was
the cause of cotton being low a
year ago, by the same rule isn't
he the cause of cotton selling for
a high price now? Come, stand
by your rule. Had the Republi.
cans taken hold of the reins of the
government six weeks ago and
cotton had advanced as it has,
they would have been walking
the streets saying: Look, see!
We did it! Told you SOL" And
there are a few people who believe
such cheap buncom be, and hence
that is why their politicians rely
upon such dope as their main
for vote getting. When
prices go up, they cause it: when
prices 20 down, Democrats cause
it. But their favorite argument
has them bucked and gagged
this year.

The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1915-05-26

The Times is in receipt of a
letter which we print this week,
from Rev. A. W. Timmons, pas
tor of the colored Methodist
church at Manning, and which
is full of godo sense and sound
advice to the colored citizens OF
Manning. He advises the people
to go to work, and if they can
not get one dollar a day for good
and faithful work, then work for
seventy-fve cents a day, but by
no means remain idle, because
they cannot get all they want as
wages. This is not only good
advice to colored people, but
there is much of sound thought
in it also to be considered by
white people. The South is
passing through hard times, and
things are not as any Of US
would have them, but energy
and willingness to do what
ever we turn our hands to in the
way of making an honest living.
the friendly CO. operation of all
classes, and the exercise of the
proper economy will solve the
whole problem. An idle mind
is the devils workshop, and the
man who is willing to grasp the
opportunities which are nearest
to him will never suffer for
bread or the necessary things OF
life.
