Just Going Into Business

This Is a modest contribu-
ton, out of "reminiscences, for
some who perhaps had no one to
call their attention to the very
little things having a bearing
upon their new life, in the eye
of the public, which will note GER
tain things that might wisely be
avoided.
For example, these suggestions
out Of the purest good will
1t might be better not to wear
that big seal ring. You don't
need it, and with some people it
will not help you.
Nor to carry a cane to bust
ness. When you get on after a
while, you may wear two rings
or carry a walking cane in each
hand. if you like.
Mr.. Anthony ]. Drexel and Mr..
George w. Childs always walked
to their business, to the great
admiration of the young men Of
their time, while they said they
needed the outdoor exercise. :
Not to smoke on the way to
business would be a suggestion
worth thinking about.
The writer believes that flashy
waistcoat and a huge heavy gold
watch chain crossing both sides
of the waistcoat and big cigar,
on the streets, had much effect
in the undoing Of most attractive
young fellow who never got on.

GOV. ALLEN DEN0UNCES
COTTON REDUCTION
Kansas Governor Refuses 10 Attend,
Cotton Conference I
WRITES J. S. WANNAMAKE Err.

Topeka, Kan, March 24.-The cot
ton growers of the South, in their eff
fort to limit the acreage of cotton
to maintain high prices, are trad
ing upon the misery of the world,"
Governor Henry J. Allen charged to-
day in letter refusing an invitation
from the South Carolina Cotton AS
sociation to attend a conference at
which representatives of the campaign
to reduce cotton acreage will be re-
ceived. The letter was addressed to
}. S. Warnamaker, Columbia, S. c.,
chairman of the association.
Basing his conclusions on govern
mcnt crop reports, Governor Allen es-
tlmated that cotton growers arc MAX
ing as much money with cotton al
thrty-hve cents a pound as Kansas
farmers are making from their wheat.
kansas farmers are doing every
thing IN their power 60 increase the
wheat yield so that everyone may
have bread, but it seems that the cot
ton growers are trying at the same
time to prevent the same people from
having Clothes" he declared.
"Ihat any group Of men, while the
world IS still graphing with the tire
men!ous problems arising from
shortage of staple commodities,
should begin Il deliberate organiZa-
ton to rctard production is unspcak-
able" he continued.
1T would be just as bad for the
wheat farmers Of Kansas, the corn
farmers Of Iowa, the hog raiscrs of
Illinois, or the live stock producers
OF Texas to deliberately combine to
create shortage in foodstutfs that
the famine Of the world would paw
them toll, as for the cotton inter
ests of the South to combine for that
purpose.
"For these reasons and because I
utterly lack sympathy with the pur-
pose of the meeting, | will not be
able to accept the invitation," he
concluded.

Confederate Soldiers Meeting.

Under the caA for a meeting of
the Confederate Soldiers, meeting
was held this Gath day Of March, 1919,
and the following County Pension
Board was unanimously elected, viz:
A. j. Richbourg, j. r. Stukes and
J. f. Richbourg. After the election
of the County Pension Board, Judge
A. j. Richbourg being an old soldier
made a very feeling and impressive
talk to his comrades. He mentioned
the fact that the Confederate veter-
ans were fast passing over the river
and that in short time they would
all be gone.
By invitation Captain w. c. Davis
made a short address to the veterans.
He not only pictured the Confederate
Soldier as the greatest soldiers in
the Confederate war, but that the
sons of the Confederate Soldiers were
the first to break the Hindenburg
line. That we should feel proud Of
the Confederate Soldier not only of
their have fighting in the Confedcracy,
but on account of the have acts of
their sons and grandsons, in the
great war which has just passed in
Europe.
The public spirited citizens of
Manning entertained the veterans and
widows at the Central Hotel This
thoughtful act on the part of the
citizens of Manning was indeed a
worthy act All of those who were
present at the meeting seemed to en-
JOY the day very much.
Under the recent pension act those
who are already enrolled will be car
ried over on the rolls without any
further application for enrolment, all
those who have never been on Pen
sion roll should make application at
once.
Blanks for this purpose can be
found at the Probate Judges office,
and he will take pleasure in assist
ing and filling blanks for those who
have not been enrolled.

of people last Sunday afternoon to
pay the last triblto of respect to Dr.

ed and lab0rcd so long, and lit with
bri!liancc the windows of the little
white church in which he 50 otter
Worshipped. His funeral was tre-
mcndous outpouring of the heart of
Clarendon. Men and women came
from all corners Of the county repre-
senting all walks in life, not only from
the towns and villages, but many
Travelled over rough country roads to
pay their tribute of respect to the
man who for many years travelled
these same rough roads at all hours
of day and night in response TO their
S. O. S. Sad faced men and women
stood in little grou3s apart, as the
choir sang, "Shall We Gather at the
River" recalling perhaps the lonely
midnight vigil at the bedside of some
loved one when hope was re-kindled
in sinking hearts by the sound Of the
doctors machine" AS the last sad
rites were ended the crowd slowly dis
persed, leaving the grave a-namc with
flowers, not the wax-whitc blossoms
of mourning. but gorgeous purple and
pink, and gold, symbolic of life's bat
tie fought, and victory won, leaving
a monument to his memory more en-
during than one wrought of bronze
or stone.

THE CIVIC LEAGUE

The Civic League held rs regular
monthly meeting on March 10 with
20 members present. 1t is indeed en-
couraging to the officers Of the league
to see that the number of members
present at each meeting steadily in
creases, as we'll as the membership
roll, which it gives me pleasure to re-
port was increased by the addition of
tn. q new members at the March
meeting, namely: Mrs. e. G.. Horton
Mrs. Alma Bradley and Mrs. W. r.
Lesesne.
The district, namely the Pee Dee
Federation meets in Florence on Fri
day, the 21st, and the State Fedora
ton OF Clubs meets in Rock Hill on
April the 29th so the delegates to
these two meetings of state wide in
terest were selected by the league,
Mrs. Horace Thomas going to Flor
ence and Mrs. j. A. Weinberg was
elected to go to Rock Hill, with Mrs.
w. Il. Lesesnc as her alternate.
There were very encouraging re-
ports from the chairman of the sew
eral committees, Mrs. Helms report
ing much work being done ON the
school house grounds, also the re-
setting Of many trees. Mrs. Cotrcv
as chairman of the court house
grounds reported that place all in
spring attire, which will soon be
evidenced by the passcrsby when all
the pretty flowers put out their bios
sons. The Health and Charity com
mittec also reported gooI work done
by them, as did Mrs. j. II. Orvm.
chairman Of the new department OF
the Civic League, the House Demon
stration Work. These ladies have
mapped out course of work and
study which will keep them busy until
October.
The league had presented at this
meeting communications from two
Glce Clubs, both wanting to have an
entertainment here, sharing the prof
its with the league. 1t was decided
to have the Wotford Glce Club here
the first week in April We hope
every one will go out to hear this
good music, thereby help to swell the
leagues treasury, which treasury has
been greatly increased by the many
undertakings of the league since Jan
uary list. The chain of teas which
were so much enjoyed by all the town
folks, and which are about to an end
now, increased the league funds to
the amount of $8220. The Rummage
sale which was held at Mr.. I.cgg's
feed store for Il couple of SATURDAYS
nctted the league $8l 90 and the prof
its from the Flower Sale, held Friday
the 14th, amounted to $397O. The
chain of teas was had for the benefit
of the French Orphans, and the league
has sent check for $1,000 to Mr..
Carter, Of Columbia, for the support
of two orphans, a girl and a bow,
each nine years of age. And now the
league has all forces headed for clean
up week. The first week i'm April,
about which, the public will hear, and
we hope do and sec a great deal o"
in the near future.

TRIBUTES TO DR.. WILSON

In the death of my good friend, /
feel impelled to say few words in
appreciation of his life and that SER
vice covering a period of more than
thirty years, which he SO willingly
gave to suffering humanity.
1t has been my good fortune to
know him intimately since first he
moved to this county. When young
man just out of college he landed at
Jordan and served the territory from
that point down to Santee and the sur
rounding country within radius of
eight or ten miles uninterruptedly for
nearly twelve years. IN serving the
country up and down the Santee,
which is more or less malarial, his
health began to fail and for several
years he labored on when physically
unfit. In tao hope that his health
might be iiGrioved by change of
residence to II, up country, he moved
to Ninety Six n the upper part Of
the State AMI there followed his pro-
fession for q year or more, but final
ly moved beck to Jordan and there
practiced unit! about seven years ago
when he moved to Manning He
never fully recovered his health but
labored on up TO within a week or
two Of his death. Just week or
two before he died he remarked that
he was hardly able to go, and, but
for suffering humanity, and not what
he got out of it, he would give up his
work.
Fifteen or more years ago, doctors
were not paid as well as they now
are, and people apparently thought
more lightly Of their doctors bills than
they now do, and, so far as amassing
a fortune or accumulating any great
amount of property is concerned, his
life can hardly be accounted a full
success from worldly standpoint,
but, when we consider that splendid
service he has rendered humanity,
often without hope of reward, we rea-
lize that the term success is only re-
lative, for he leaves to his children Il
iiCi ibhSc llldl llollcy CdllllOl DuS,
which, after all, are the things most
ly to be desired.
! He suffered reverseS sufficient to
break the spirit of Hercules, and a
majority of men under like circum-
stances would likely have despaired,
if not given up entirely, but that
same fidelity he had always shown
his patients remained unto the end
He was a gentleman of the old
school, and in all the years | have
known him, never once have / heard
him speak deprecatingly of another
doctor. Being thoroughly in love with
his work, he rose to the top Of the
profession, and, when a man like this
dies we are inclined to think that life
is too short. TO him I owe my lite,
and his death to me is personal
loss which l feel kcenly.
He was buried last Sunday in the
Jordan Cemetery beside his beloved
wife, who predeceased him about ten
years. An immense concourse of
white and colorcd attested to the es-
TEEN in which he was held.
May his soul rest in peace!
