citizens of Manning will never
forget this beautiful spirit OF
the part of the people of her sis
ter city, Sumter.
On the night Of the storm the
town was IN darkness, and the
electric current could not be
turned on, as fallen live wires
would only have added horrors
to the already heavily stricken
community, but Mr.. L. E. Rar'
vim, the electric plant manager,
was equal to the occasion, and
by the next night the wires were
up and the town lighted as
usual.
This cyclone was the most
panic striking disaster which
has ever happened in the history
of Clarendon county, and since
Friday hundreds of sight seers
have visited Manning from ad-
joining counties to look upon the
ruins. The papers report that. a
storm visited Elloree on the
same afternoon, and also one in
Marlborough county, killing four
people in that county. We have
not received reports Of any
great damage being done elsess
where in tile county. except that
some damage was done on the
Wilson place near Summerton,
where q barn and some buildings
were blown down, and some lit
tie damage near S.. Pau. 1t is
possible that the cyclone made
a leap from Eiloree to Summer
ton, at the Wilson or Benbow
place. then another bounce TO
earth again, striking at Man
ming, and then leaping to the
Darlington and Marlborough
sections. in as much as when it
reached the depot section in
Manning it seems to have arisen
over Ok Swamp and went high
in air in a ENTHUSIASTICALLY di-
rection.

escape. On the other corner of
the block in the Katzof store
the scene was also a hesrtrend-
ering one, as Miss Clara Bag
gett was killed or died as she
was being taken out. while her
sister Miss Julia Bagget, was
found helpless close by her and
Miss Annie Thames was taken
out of the wreckage badly in
'iured. When the gust of de-
|struction came, Morris Ness,
the manager Of the business was
in the second story closing the
windows, and how he escaped
nobody can explain. but as he
got to the ground his cries were
Immediately heard calling for
help to save the ladies from the
ruined building. Over at the
Davis building it was equally
touching to see the soliatude on
the part of Messrs. DuBrow and
T, NJ. Davis in wanting the 9th
ers covered under the wreckage
to be rescued first. Over at the
Cofey and Rigby stable MIR.
Maynard Davis had just gone in
and was badly injured by falling
tlmbers striking his face and
back, and scrambled out in, a
dazed condition and was trying
to get home in the torrents Of
rain as he was called into anoth-
er building. DR.. Ned Barron
had also dashed into the stable
with his horse and buggy and as
the building fell IN be managed
to back out unhurt. Mr.. j. W.
Rigby had gone in the country
and Mr.. Coffey was up street
when the building collapsed, so
that none of the regular occu-
pants of this building were in
when the crash came.

TEE EUROPEAN War.

The end of the European war
seems further off now than it did
last winter. Lord Kitchener said
that when the spring opened up
and his great army Of million
men landed in France, that they
would speedily break the Ger
man lines and drive the Germans
back into their own territory,
forcing them to sue for peace.
The fall of Premsyl, in the Car
pathian Mountains, in March,
was heraided as the end OF
Austria.
The Germans in the western
area have broken the French and
British lines and fortified them
selves on the other side of the
Ypres Canal, and all the efforts
so far have been unavaiiing to
dislodge them.
The Germans seem to have
employed their time during the
winter in making themselves as
comfortable as possible and de-
vlsing new methods of warfare.
By the use of an asphyxiating
gas they drive the allies out of
their trenches and occupy them
themselves.
On the Russian battle lines

genius has been developed

that the entire stocks Of goods
were absolutely destroyed, but

ings that were totally DESTROYED
has been damaged very little.
The business portion Of the
town has been practically wiped
out, but all merchants have
opened up in temporary quar-
ters and are endeavoring to dis.
pose Of the merchandise that
was left.
We are sure that throughout
the county there is profound
sympathy for the stricken mer'
chants. Sympathy cannot re-
place the enormous damage sus-
tanned, but every citizen OF the
county can in a measure help in
a financial way, and at the same
time obtain value received.
We desire TO make an earnest
appeal to all citizens of the
county to come to Manning and
do their shopping. If yon have
never traded in Manning before,
DO so NOW. Every dollar spent
hare will be that much help.
Even if you do not find exactly
what you want, but find an arti-
Gle that will serve your purpose,
purchase it. Some varities Of
dry goods is not effected by get
ting wet, so do not refuse to
purchase on that account. A
little water does not hurt shoes.
The same applies to medicines
and all goods put up in pack
ages. The carton may be in
iured, but if the contents are
not effected the article is worth
as much as it was before.
The property loss is estimated
at over two hundred thousand
dollars. That much of taxable
property has bean destroyed.
II must be replaced. 1t is the
duty of every citizen Of the
county to come to the aid OF
their fellow citizens by making
their purchases here.
A larger and better Manning
will arise from the ruins.
Let everybody in the county
do his duty, pstroniSe the strick-
en- merchants; everybody who
spends a dollar here will be do
ing that much in the work OF
rebuilding. This appeal is to
you aud we believe that YOU
viii respond.

OF war.
The Austrian army is CON-
manded by German generals,
and they took the Russians by
bringing large reinforcements
from Germany to the aid of the
Austrians. We suppose that the
horrible actrocities committed by
the Cossacks-men and officers
against the women OF East
Prussia, makes the fighting in
this part of the war area in
tensely bitter.
It looks very much as if the
success of Germany has pre-
vented Italy from entering the
war, as the Allies confidently
expected.
The human mind can hardly
take in the enormous territory
over which this war is raging.
More than a thousand miles
away the Mohammedans and
Russians are fighting between
the Persian Gulf and the Gasp
ian Sea, while another army of
Turks and Asiatics, said to be
a million strong, somewhere in
Central. Asia is preparing to
strike at the Suez Canal.
Aside from the humanitarian
aspect, the South is immensely
interested on account of the
effect that it will have on the
price of cotton. There has been
a slump in prices following the
order promulgated by the Brit
ish Ministry against the re.ex.
portation of cotton from the
British Isles to any countries ex
cept France and Itlaly. The sub.
marine blockade by Germany
renders it eqnally as dangerous
to get cotton into England, so
that, with the surplus of the
present crop, and the coming
crop, it looks as if our State
Warehouse system will be need.
ed more than ever to enable US
to carry our cotton until the
markets are opened up at the
close of the war.
In the meantime, Japan has
presented an ultimatum to China
which virtually gives her con-
troll of that vast empire, with
it's 800, ,000,u,o people. The
United States and England both
have treaties with China guar
anteeing the integrity of the
Chinese Empire. China is a non
military nation, and has appeal.
ed to our country and England
to maintain this solemn treaty.
It looks very much as if Japan
had taken advantage of this war
situation to violate all of her
treaty rights and force western
nations out of the Pacific. Sec
retary Bryan has made a state
ment that the United States will
not tolerate the violation of her
treaty with China; so that, un.
less something is done, the
United States must either back
down and lose caste and inau-
ence as an international power.
or deliver an ultimatum to Japan
and be prepared to back it mp.
Altogether a surface view lndi-
Gates the proglongation and en-.
largement of this war, rather
than it's end.

ASSISTANCE OFFERED.
In addition TO the assistance
offered by Sumter, the terrible
news spread abroad elected
many kilograms of inquiry after
relatives, expressions of SYM
pathy and the offer Of services.
Governor Manning offered the
assistance of his office in a tele
gram to the Mayor, aud Mr.. J.
R. Henley, general manager of
the Atlantic Coast Line, sent his
secretary, Mr. Murchison, in
person to Manning to see if the
railroad company could be of
any assistance by the offer of
cars or special trains on any
other services which could be
rendered.

possible. The street hands clear:
ed the rubbish aud limbs out of
the streets and the chain gang
was brought in to clear away
the fallen trees from the court

tried to meet the situation as
bravely as they could.

AS REPORTED IN THE DAILY
PRESS
What Landes Said

OLYMPIA.-Replying to President
Landes' request for 100000 appro-
priation for buildings at the University
of Washington, Representative Hart
ley, of Everett, took up the hue and
cry against Socialism in the house,
Thursday afternoon.
rs it true" he Numbered, that the
university taught Socialism,"
NO. meekly replied President
Landes. THE university is an agent
for stamping out Socialism"
High school students, said Landes,
often come with Socialistic ideas to
the university, but before graduation
they broaden" their views and aban-
don that doctrine
How about Glenn Hoover" Presi.
dent Landes was asked.
Hoover is leading Socialist in Sc.
attic, and was candidate for congress
last fall.
At the University of Washington,
Hoover was a leader in debate and
oratory and athletics. Prof. Landes
replied that Hoover was a Socialist
before he entered the university.

SOCIALISTS CLAIMS
ARE ACKNOWLEDGED

That the entire school system Of
the United States, and elsewhere, Is
designed and conducted with the ex-
press end In view or manufacturing
more or less efficient and wholly
docile, hypnotized, and capitalist class
conscious wage slave and professional
men and women with distorted mental
vision, has long been the unchallenged
claim of Socialists-of all who under
stand the capitalist-closs character of
all our public institutions.
We Socialists have insisted upon it
that no true education would be given
in our public educational institutions
so long as they were under the control
of the master-class. exploiters of labor.
We contended that Oily those views
of life and society which tended to
strengthen the position of the bosses
as privileged class would be per-
mitted expression In our schools and
colleges that our schools and colleges
were being used constantly to teach
capitalist-class politics, and to dope
the minds of studentg with master
class philosophy, religion, ethics. and

sociological principles.
Now comes the president Of the
University of Washington and openly
admits that the costly miseducational
institution at Seattle is there as "an
agent to stamp out Socialism," to so
broaden" the minds of students that
their mental processes will have ex-
pansion rather than depth, capitalist
class dogma rather than free and I'M
prejudiced examination and study of
economic and political science and
theory.
To be worthy of an appropriation of
funds for running expenses, declares
our gallant representative Of capital
at Olympia, the Colonel Hartley, the
State University must teach that the
truths OF Socialist philosophy and poll
tlcal science are untruths: the institu-
ton must be free from scientific teach
ing and devoted to capitalist class
politics.
Wen, the working-cass of Everett
voted for Hartley and his class-con-
scious rule of our biggest school, and
he Is right to give them just what
they voted for

tFTom fuTJldnQ OTeSOnld0J
OLYMPIA, Feb. 4.-The allegation
that Socialism is taught in the Uni
versity of Washington caused a tilt
in the appropriation committee to-
night between members of the legis
lature and university faculty heads.
While President Henry Landes, OF
the university, was being questioned
Representative Hartley, of Snohomish
spoke of the increasing number of So.
cialists among the university gradu.
ates and intimated that the depart
ment of political science, which has
been charged with teaching Socialism
should be abolished.
"To do that would make the uni.
versity the laughing stock of the coun.
try" President Landes replied. eve
don't teach Socialism. AS a matter of
fact there are more graduates of high
schools that come to the university as
Socialists, than there are Socialists
among our graduates. The university
education tends to broaden the minds
of the students"
Dean Condor, of the law school, re-
piled similarly and said Glenn Hoover
a recent graduate, prominent in the
!. w. W. troubles in Seattle, and later
Socialist congressional candidate
came to the university with that poll
tical belief.
