Red Cross Seal Commission.

We are undertaking in Clarendon
County the work that so many of our
progressive counties have been doing
Tor several years., the fight against
tuberculosis. Our special work this
year is to obtain visiting nurse for
the county. Our only mean sfor rails
ing the money for this purpose is to
sell Red Cross Christmas Seals. It
is stupcndous task, but if other
counties have succeeded in it why
cant we?
We are soliciting the aid of all
clergymen, physicians, teachers, par
ents and children. The seals are to
be put on sale in any store or pub
lie building wishing to advance the
work.
The schools are being ORGANIZED
into modern health crusades and are
going to sell stamps all over the
county.
Please feel that a privilege is be-
ing offered you to buy seals from the
children and by SO doing you will
help in good cause. We have made
\ most encouraging beginning and |
hope Clarendon County will do her
part in making South Carolina win
the pennant this year.
Last Tuesday the most intelligent
ana competent State agent, Miss
Elizabeth Summer visited the Man
ming Graded school and served other
schools in the county she enthuscsd
and delighted all her hearers. 1t is
her desire to come back again and
trust she is to have large audiences
all over the county for the work goes
forward wherever she is heard.
Any person wishing to aid in this
cause please notify,

TELEPHONE SITUATION AS
SEEN BY DR.. J. F. CEICER
To the Editor of The Manning Times.

10 the Editor of The Manning Times
AS the final hearing on the tele-
phone rate raising proposition is to
be held next Tuesday, Nov. 2S,
thought it good idea to remind my
brother phone renters OF the fact, and
to give the ones who have not kept
posted statement OF the facts in
the case.
When notice was served of an in
crease in rates, some favored an i'm
mediate surrender of phones to the
company by as many as would agree
to do so, others favored giving the
company hearing, so that if the
rates now in force did not give them
d reasonable return on their invest
ment, the raise could be agreed to.
The latter course was very properly
adopted, as it was the fair and lust
course. The attorney for the com
pany was at the meeting, also the
manager-both from. Sumter. The
attorney is evidently very learned
man., at least he has learned to talk
indefinitely on a subject without i'm
parting any information to his hear
ers, and the manager managed so
well that he kept us from getting
any inside information as to the af-
fairs of the company. The attorney
tried by, mixture OF bluff, buster
and caJolery and misinterpretation of
contract he has with the town, to
induce those present to vote for a
raise in rates-just any little raise
to go into effect at most any old time.
lie knew we'll enough if he could get
his hand started into our pockets it
would be an easy matter to grad
ually worm 1T to the bottom and get
the limit allowed by his contract with
the town.
1t, however, was noS intended by
the town that this or any other adj
vance was to be allowei if the COM
pany could make a reasonable profit
on It's investment at present rates.
we expected from the representa-
tlVes OF the company a clearcut state
ment proving the allegations on the
postal card notice of the raise, but
instead they seemed to be in a con-
splracy to suppress the facts. They
did claim that batteries and wire had
risen in price very much, but the
net result when the attorney con-
cludei his harangue was that we felt
like we had been doused with
bucketful Of batteries and bunk.
Since the meeting have ascertain
ed the following facts: That the
company has been in operation five
years under franchise from the
town, that the first four years it
paid the stock holders an annual di
vldcnd of Is per cent, that the pres
ent year. it has paid two dividends
aggregating 25 per cent, and that
during the five years it has installed
many new phones and paid for these
out of profits before the above divi-
dcnds were paid | find their claim
as to advances in the cost of bat
terics and wire to be correct, but as
near as | can get at 1t the Increases
IN the cost of batteries is less than
| per cent of their capital stock per
year, and as they have reserve wires
IN. their cables they use very little
wire at present, ami last but not
least, they have paid this increased
cost Of operation and at the same
time added 10 per cent to their be-
forc-thcwar dividends.
If this had been done in open CON-
petition it woad be all right, but it

to discontinue their paper. Two gave
a reasonable excise. the other gave
none. Now we know we are getting
out good paper and one that is
worth much more than we charge for
it. Still we do not feel in anyway
disturbed over these "cut-outs," as
we have added eighteen in their
stead, and while we do not like to
have anyone stoD our paper, we
think. we are still ahead of the game

WHERE 1T COUNTS.

| When the administration building OF
the Third District Agricultural and
Mechanical College was burned several
years ago on the campus of the school
near the city, the institution lost many
valuable things necessary to construc-
tive work among the students. Some
OF these have been replaced as far as
/ it was possible in keeping with the
financial condition of the college
1t has been brought to the atten-
tion of the Times-Recorder that an en-
clyopedia was lost in the fire-aud
since that day the college has had no
such work to use in conjunction with
the course of study. The volumes
which were lost came into the possess
ion of the college through the gener-
osity of Hon. Crawford Wheatley, the
greatest single benefactor which the
college possesses.
1t occurs to us that in this era Of
prosperity; zoe cotton; the pre-holi-
day season-that some interprising
person or parties might do something
towards. furnishing the college with
the necessary works. 1t is needless -
argue about the essentials of such
books for study-they are invaluable
in carrying on the work of the
school. The Times-Recorder would be
glad to see a fund raised, if no other
way is devised, to furnish the Third
District College with a set of enclyo-
pedias- something standard and rec
ognized by authorities.

THE BRITISH REFUSAL.

Until the reasons and correspond
ence are made known by the State de =.
partment, the American people are
more or less in the dark as to why the
English government has refused safe
conduct to Count Won Tarnow, the
newly accredited Austria Hungarian
diplomat to the United States. The
new ambassador succeeds Count Dunn
ha, whose recall was demanded by
our government of the rule at Vienna.
So far as the new envoy reaching
America safely, there is no doubt. He
can be brought on an American battle
ship, If no other way is provided.
1t is the belief of the Times Record
er that the cause of Germany should
be defeated, but along with 1t should
go little plain talk to John Bull. The
Canadian government has already
queried the English as to why their
soldiers are kept in the trenches with
out rest of relaxation out of all pro.

own hearth. France has done more
