LET EVERYBODY WORK FOR
MANNING TOBACCO MARKET

The tobacco season will soon be on
IN South Carolina. We expect the
markets to open up two or three
weeks earlier than they did last year.
Manning" should be every business
mans watch-word. The Manning to-
bacco market and the farmers that
grow the tobacco need your undivided
support. The local warehousemen GER
tainly cannot do all that should be
done. The Manning tobacco business
is big thing for our county and
town. If there is business man in
the town of Manning that belongs to
the croaker class and cannot see how
the town is helped by the local tobacco
market, even though he is beyond the
age limit required by Uncle Sam, he
should be law to himself and volun-
teer and go to the front and face
German shells until he gets some
common gray matter in his cranium
The local warehouscmen will pay
out possibly a quarter million dollars
to the farmers. Buyers come here
in large numbers, buy the tobacco
and spend money
Manning is situated in one of the
best tobacco territories in the State
and every business man in our city
should pull for greater Manning
and larger tobacco and cotton mar
ket Tobacco has built large cities in
North Carolina, Virginia and Ken
lucky. | haven't any patience with a
citizen that has not got the spirit of
cooperation. | do not like to hear of
man saying it is up to the fellow
that runs the tobacco warehouse to
get the tobacco here. Every person
in Manning is helped either directly
or indirectly. The Manning market
needs better facilities for handling
the tobacco. We need more prize
houses for the buyers. The local
warehousemen should be cooperated
with by our business men that have
the sites and best locations for these
buildings. Other markets much
younger than Manning have these
which are indispensable to a
tobacco market.
The crop looks very promising now
and we hope the town will make a
special effort to make this the larp-
est and best year in it's history.

Should be taken from our home,
But the joys that do not perish,
Live in memory alone.
All the years we've spent together,
All the happy golden hours,
Shall be cherished in remembrance,
Beyond the doubtless and hopes and

Beyond the cares and joys and tears,
Beyond the smiling and the weep

Beyond the walking and the sleeping
Our loved ones rests in slumber
deep,
In silence and eternal sleep.

Mr.. Editor:

without drink the following is a means
Of freedom from bondage to saloons

Be the only customer (you have a
license to pay). Go to your wife,
give her two dollars to buy gallon
of whiskey, and remember there are
sixty-nine drinks in gallon, buy
your drinks from no one but your
wife, and by the time the first gallon
is gone she will have eight dollars
to start business again. Should you
live ten years ard you continue to
buy booze from her, and then die with
snakes in your boots, she will have
enough money to bury you decently,
educate your children, buy a house
and lot, and marry a decent man, and
quit thinking about you entirely.

COMMENCEMENT SERMON
OF DAVIS STATION SCHOOL
Davis Station, S. G. June 4, 1917.

Davis Station, S. c. June 4, 1917.
The Rev. DR.. w. B. Duncan, Pastor.
of the Methodist churci in Manning,
preached the commencement sermon
of Davis Station school at Bethlehem
church on Sunday. The graduating
class numbers four, two boys and two
girls. They listened with marked at
tention to the excellent sermon ad-
dressed to them.
DR.. Duncan's subject was "Char-
acter Building" and his text was from
II Peter, 1 chapter, verses 81 And
besides this, giving all diligence, add
to your faith virtue; and to virtue
knowledge; and to knowledge tenn
perance; and to temperance patience;
and to godliness brotherly kindness;
and to brotherly kindness charity"
A few of the leading thoughts Of the
sermon follows:
Character-good characters the
finest thing in the world, the thing of
primary Importance. Character is
matter Of growth, of increment-in
O. word, of adding. On this respect
character is like building-we must
get the materials together and then
add one to another. The foundation
Of any worthy character is faith,
faith in good, faith in self, faith in
mankind. Without faith, we are at
standstill and do nothing. But we
are required to go further, and add to
our faith virtue. Now "virtue" comes
from the latin word virtus which real
ly means courage. By virtue the old
Romannant interchangeably goods
ness, strength (or courage), worth
whileness? The proper thing to fol-
low faith is courage. We believe,
therefore, we must be courageous so
that we shall not be disobedient to
the heavenly vision. Next we must
add knowledge, the thing that human
beings were put into the world spec
tally to get. AS we gain knowledge
we grow more and more in harmony
with Gods universe. Education does
this for us. We must not expect to
acquire education without paying it's
price. We win at the expense of
many things-time, effort, strength,
as well as money. We are next to add
temperance, which means moderation
in all things-a wise self vestraint
and control. Then patience (Which
from the Latin patior, means suffer-
ance) with others-with ourselves too,
not becoming discouraged over our
own faults and misdeeds. We must,
lastly, grow, so far as possible, into
the image and likeness of God, or
godliness is only God-likeness.
The preacher in conclusion earnest
ly exhorted his young hearers to
strive for a perfect and complete
structive of character, so that at
last not an entrance, but an abundant
entrance should be ministered unto
them into the kingdom of heave.
The school closes on Friday next
and commencement exercises will be
held on that date, beginning at $3.50
P. M.
