Reception i'm Honor OF Mrs. II, l.
Manning.

One Of the most delightful social
aTairs of the season was a reception
rendered by the members Of Chapter
l Of the Woman's Guild, in honor Of
Mrs. r. 1. Manning. at the home of
Mrs. Elizabeth Thomas. Mrs. Man.
ming is one Of the charter members
Of this guild and will be much missed
by every one
The Guild EN- masse presented Mrs.
Manning with an armful of carnations,
the presentation being made by Mrs.
Hubert Osteen, who very touching
ly expressed the regret of the Guild
at the prospect Of losing Mrs. Man.
nins'. as an ever present and active
member Mrs Manning, however.
faithfully promised she would be
with them as often as the occasion
would permit.
The home was very tastefully dec
Grated in ferns, smilax and carna =
tiOns, and presented bower of beau
ty. The hostess, assisted by Miss
kristianson. very charmingly enter
lained her guests, delightful refresh
ments were served and Il very pleas
ant evening spent.

this class Of farmers that we may look
for over productions, for which we
must all suffer. and 1t is sure to come
IL conditions continue like they are.
The only way to reach it is through
the legislature, for the nonresident
warehousemen will never egreee to a
change. He is identified with us for
only a short season and the shorter
the season the better pleased he is.
But be 1t said to the credit Of the
warehousemen who make South Car
olina their home. they are not fight
Ing 1t. What they get in increased
commissions from higher average
prices will be overcome by the reduc-
ton to the North Carolina scale of
charges and the heightened time they
will have to hire their force, but they
are willing to see the farmer better
his condition IL possible. Conditions
are growing worse each year. You
see what the crowded glutted markets
did for you the past year. Now with
a sixty million crop to face and with
short time we have to sell it, and with
the limited capacity Of the buyer to
handle 1t. you may expect worse
crowded conditions than ever before.
Now we have plenty Of time to correct
the evil and 1t can be done by the pro-
posed law. Write your members of
the legislature or the senator at CO.
lumbia and ask him to do something
to help relieve the situation. If you
fail to do this and find your tobacco
disseminated against i'm favor OF O oLher
States when the crop is better pre-
pared for market and when they
don't have to sell it all in sixty days
blame no one but yourself

market by letting it remain u reason

dump 1t on the market like shucks,
then you will find the buyer disposed
TO throw our crop into the low grades
and pay us accordingly.
If 1t is known before the buyer

rion, General Greene with his army,
and countless numbers who fought for
independence, whose names are to us
household words
Over this road, Lord CORVALLIS
marched and loitered, too, in the vain
! hope thaS he would catch our Game
Cock mapping and that cruel Tarleton
who demanded the hospitality of
women and then burnt their homes;
but these passed on forever, and back
our warriors came, bearing the shield
Of Liberty
Then the Kings highway became a
state road sixty feet wide, governed
by the statutes and laws, protected
from the wanton destruction of it's
shade trees, such grand old trees, that
in some places arched overhead with
moss, or garlanded with roses.
How many winsome nlaidens, bon
ME brides and brave, true men drove
over this beautiful road, the waving
branches and ftful shadows cannot
tell us, but there are still some per-
sons living who can point out spots
where during the war of the Revolu-
ton or the War Between the States.
some men fought and died.
How has this roadway been pre-
served and tended, which came to us
from our fathers, full Of usefulness
and romance, even stained with the
blood of patriots? A wayside flower,
IN unsightly stump, perchance a lone
tree, standing by an undignified
single roadbed, marks out the neg
lected heritage.
These narrow roads when fanked
on each side by perpendicular bitches.
are obviously dangerous, especially
now that the era of the motor car de-
mands a broad, safe road.
If the appeal of safety, beauty and
sentiment is inadequate, the COM
mercial value Of a beautiful, broad
urNe-Way Is unquestioned, challeng-
ing a worldwide interest which In
most places has already produced
earnest endeavor and accomplishment.
To us has come the privilege of TAX
ing the initial steps towards a grad
uai restoration Of our old State road;
how pleasant it will be to renew some
what of is beauty and preserve its
history. The placing of granite
boulders along this road presents O.
work for our Chapter when such ef-
efforts are justified by it's bettered
condition. These boulders will stand
as monuments Of the past, and remain
legacy to future generations of our
fathers. The reward will be great,
both in sentiment and practical utility,
if We arouse spirit of determination
to improve this road, and also our fine
old Sumter road, so that they may
again be worthy of a people rich in
history, responsive always to the call
of progress.

GOV. BLEASE'S PROCLAMATION
BLEASE TURNS OUT ENTIRE
MILITIA OF STATE.
Will Affect Thirty-Onc Companies in
the Three Regiments, Comprising
More than Two Thousand Men and
Ofiicers-Adjutant General to Take
Matter up With War Department,
Which Is Asked to Delay Action.

The news that Gov. Blease had dis
banded the entire militia of the State
afecting two thousand men in the
thirty-One companies which make up
the three regiments of the State mill
tia, was the general subject of CONVEX.
sation last night when the matter be-
came generally known. The an
nouncement did not cause as much
surprise as might be expected, as the
governors controversies with the mill
tia practically ever since he has been
in the executive chair, were we'll
known, and any action by him ceas-
ed being surprise some time ago.
What will be the outcome of Gov.
Blease's proclamation in the standing
of the militia with the war department
awaits to be seen. The order follows:
Whereas, differences have arisen
between the secretary of war of the
United States of America and the sec
retary Of the navy of the United
States of America, and the adjutant
and inspector general, department of
state of South Carolina, and his ex-
cellency. the governor of the State of
South Carolina, who is also command
er-in-chief Of the military and naval
forces Of the said State Of South
Carolina, and,
Whereas, differences have arisen
between the adjutant and inspector
general and the commanding officers
Of the volunteer militia of the said
State, which have caused serious
breaches Of discipline in said depart
ment and much discord; and,
Whereas. the present governor OF
the State Of South Carolina is of the
opinion that it would be unfair and
unjust on his part to turn over to his
successor in office the militia of the
state Of South Carolina in it's present
con6ition-brought about by differ
ences heretofore mentioned, which
might be very embarrassing to the
inco ming administration Of the State
Of South Carolina; and,
Whereas, there are many-chief
among whom is the present COM
mander-in- -chief-who are of the
opinion that the State of South Caro-
lima made serious mistake in be-
coming a part of the National Guard
under what is commonly known, as
the Dick Law :
Now, know ye, L.. governor, of
the State Of South Carolina and COM
mander-in- chief Of the militia Of said
State, under and by virtue of the
power vested in me as the governor
of the State Of South Carolina and
chief of the militia of
said State, by the constitution Of this
State. the code of laws Of this State
and the constitution Of the United
States of America,
DO hereby order and Ordain, That
all the militia of the State Of South
Carolina, including the National
Guards, as now enlisted, and all of
the volunteer militia Of the said State
of South Carolina be, and they are
hereby dissolved, mustered out and
disbanded

diately."
