MIR. FIELDER ANSWERS
COUNTY SUPERVISOR KELLY

was one morse wagons and buggies and
the other half two horse wagons and
log carts, this would make it figure
out as above stated. No other Super-
visor ever had this appropriation, and
even granting that this cost of labor
and material is higher than ever, why
then with this extra amount Of
money! should he give us so much
poorer service than all the others
Mr.. Kelly certainly hits the nail on
the head when he said he used the
best Judgment he had, we do not doubt
that he did the best he was capable of
DONG, and l did not say word till
he had the check to accept a much
more responsible office.
AS to our highway commissioners
l am personally acquainted with them
and l wish to say that they are good
business men, fully agree with Mr..
Kelly that they are fully able to at
tend to the business in hand and will
put Mr.. Kelly out as soon as they see
that he has outreached himself and
unless he uses better judgment in this
Office than he has in the Supervisors
office l am of the opinion that it
would be long before, we will dill
igently consider his place and it shall
not be-" 1t seems from Mr.. Kelly's
own statement that l am not the only
one who has been critcizing him, as
he says 'it is being talked on the
streets of Manning that am drawing
two salaries"
AS to Mr.. Kelly's denying charges
made, | am quite sure if he was to be
hung he would deny the charge, but
denying facts does not disproce them,
let him show why he did not enforce
the law, and why he neglects some
sections of the county, and if his ex-
plantations are satisfactory we will ex-
cuse him.
l want to say in conclusion that |
hate controversies and I will not re-
ply to Mr.. Kelly again, also that
bear no i'll feelings to him or any one
that | know, but do not feel that Mr..
Kelly has been giving us justice and
God forbid that ever carry any i'll
feeling to any man and get behind
bush and throw at him, but it some
times takes GROWERS and pretty loud
ones too to wake up some people.
If Mr.. Kelly will come over to
where / live I will take pleasure in
showing him a public road that has
not been worked since he has been in
office, except by Mr.. Leslie Tndal and
myself, l have worked on this road
several times and I have never re-
ceived penny compensation, and l do
not suppose that Mr.. Tindal has.
Very truly,
f. B. FIELDER.

MARTENS PLEA is DENIED

Washington, June 8.-Request for
the subpoena of Major Gen. William
S. Graves, former commander of the
American eXpcditionary forces in ST.
IBERIA. and Raymond Robins, former
American Red Cross commissioner to
Russia, in the Department of Labor's
deportation proceedings against Lud-
wig g. A. K. Martens, was denied to-
day by Immigration Inspector Shell
who is conducting the hearing.
Former Senator Hardwick, OF Geor-
gia counsel for Martens, several
weeks ago filed a request for the ap-
pearance of Gen. Graves and Mr.. Rob
ms. Inspector Shell denied the request
on the ground that any testimony
which either might offer would be
irrcVclant to the case
Announcement was made at the re-
sumption Of the deportation proceed
ings today that final hearings would
be held June II. The case then is ex-
pcctcd to go to Assistant Secretary
of Labor Post, who probably will pass
the case on for final action by Presi-
dent Wilson.
The session today was taken up
wholly by presentation by Senator
Hardwick, Of the case for Martens.

On last Monday afternoon a COM
mittee representing Sumter county
and consisting of the following:
Messrs Davis Noise, Booth, s. A. Har-
vim and T.. ]. Reardon went to Pine
wood to extend an invitation to that
section to vote themselves into Sum
ter county. Messrs C. r. Sprott,
Charlton DuRant and I. /. Applet at
tended this meeting from Manning,
going simply to hear the proposition
from the "Game Cock" representa-
tives. Mr.. Noise was the speaker and
we'll did he handle his subject from a
"hot air" standpoint. He made prom
ises, to our mind, were absurd and
ridiculous. Mr.. Noise promised the
people Of Pinewood concrete or brick
road from Sumter to the Clarendon
! line, distance of we think about
SsSwenty miles. He also stated it was
3the intention Of Sumter to build all of
their main roads with concrete or
brick, claiming sand-clay was failure
and would not stand. He also stated
there were seven hundred wooden
bridges in Sumter county, and these
would be supplanted with concrete.
Mr.. Noise is fluent speaker and a
good part of the crowd seemed to be
with him.
Now, let's take Mr.. Moises's
argument and see where we are
at. Sumter county has voted up
on themselves bond issue of $780,
600 for good roads. These roads
built as Mr.. Noise says out of concrete
or. brick will cost approximately $780,
600 per mile, making about forty
miles. Will Sumter county pay ST.
125,000, or half of their bond issue to
give Pinewood good road? From
accounts we have seen in the Sumter
papers the other taxpayers of that
county have been made the same pro-
mise. MIR. Noise says they have seven
hundred wooden bridges which will be
built of concrete. We haven't the
figures but we do believe it will take
fully the balance of the bond issue Cor
81 ,125, ,O00) to build these bridges.
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1920-06-09
WILL SUMTER COUNTY BACK
MIR. NOISES STATEMENTS

What will become of the rest of Sum
ter county and what will they say
when they discover Pinewood has
drawn half of their bond money for
about twenty miles Of road? There
are several hundred miles, of public
roads in Sumter county, and Mr..
Noise says if the $2,5OO,0OO bond is
sue is insufficient to build all of the
roads, the Legislative delegation have
pledged themselves to pass bill at
the coming session of the legislature
TO raise the necessary amount. In our
opinion the necessary fund to build
such roads and bridges would be near
.er $20,ooo,ooO than $2,5Oo,0Oo. Mr..
Noise claims it will take eighteen
mills to take care of the present bond
issue. His county now pays about
twenty-one mills exclusive of school
bonds, which he did not state the
amount Of such bonds. This makes
around forty mills Pinewood would
pay into the Sumter treasury and
also their share of about half million
dollar bonds into the Clarendon treas
ury, making something like seventy
five mills.
We are told that Turbeville has
been invited to join Sumter county
and they too, we presume, have been
made the same inducement, which if
the promises come true, would eat up
all of the Sumter bond issue. Will
Sumter then turn their backs on the
balance of their county, and the tax
payers who voted this burden upon
Themselves? Will they do this to
make new acquaintances? Or is this
bait TO acquire more territory to
help pay off these shackles?
The intentions Of the good roads
boosters of Sumter may be good, but
to our mind, Mr.. Noises statements
to pave all of the public highways to
the county line with brick or concrete
are impossible.
The Clarendon delegation will ad-
dress the Pinewood citizens next
Monday afternoon and state their side
Of the matter.

lmuucnt taxes and penalties.

tax on toilet articles ana proprietary
medicines, the soft drink tax and the

Editor Manning Times:

EultOI mannlng Times:
Will you please allow me space in
your columns to reply to my friend
Kelly's reply, in last weeks Times,
feel very much flattered at Mr.. Kelly's
statement that "being the type of man
l am he could not treat me with silent
contempt II must be above the aver
age for him to consider to take notice
of me. l wish to thank Mr.. Kelly for
these flattering words. did not
mean any reflection on those with Mr..
Kelly in office, some of these men are
my best friends and neighbors, and /
am satisfied that they acted four
square and do not doubt but what they
turned in every dollar that they col
lected. have heard no complaint from
any of them and as we all know it is
| only the "hit dog that yells" therefore
we take it that our opinion about
their being straight is correct.
Mr.. Kelly's statement rs to the
license law reminds me of little boy
shooting in the air with q pop pistol,
What he tried to say did not touch
me on the charges that I made. He
lust simply made things worse for
him.
. What / said was that he had collect
ed quite sum from our unsuspecting
citizens on law and that he should
have known that it was law before
he did so and not deceive innocent law
! abiding citizens with a fake. He
should have known that the law was
all right before he acted and not to
have collected from innocent unsus-
pecting parties on a law that could
not be enforced. We were told that
every man would be forced to paw the
license, but I know quite a number
that refused to pay and nothing has
been done. He did not see that every
one paid the license as he promised
through his collectors. In his reply
he did not say why he did not try to
| collect from the delinquents. It is
very strange that Mr.. Kelly should be
so kind all of Il sudden "in helping
the people by saving the time and con-
fusion it would have caused them" if
they had had to go to Manning to get
their license. Mr.. Kelly stated in his
reply that he collected something over
1000 licenses more than the tax books
showed the previous year, but this
only puts him in a worse light, for it
is very generally conceded that we
now have the poorest service since the
establishment Of the Supervisors Of
flee. According to his own figures, he
must have collected some where be-
tween ten and twelve thousand dol
lars. "He says that he collected
seven thousand and twenty licenses
and granting that half of this amount

sacrifices of America.

think Of Mr.. Wilson's league and it's
sacrifices of America.
"They (the people) will tear aside
the vel! Of words woven to blind and
deceive and come down to the essen
tial and vital point-Mr. Wilson's plan
on one side and the independence and
safety fthe United States on the
other.
Gall Americans must join together
in their own way and with their own
arguments defeat Mr.. Wilson's league
as he desires it, whether amended by
him or in its pristine simplicity"
Senator Lodge charged the Demo
cratic party with responsibility for
Tn" "perlious condition of the hour"
and said, if the Republican party fails
to grapple with it effectively, "the
Russian descent into barharism will
begin to draw near"
A beginning had been made he said,
by Republican Congress in restoring
economic conditions, working under
all the difficulties and opposition i'm
posed by a hostile executive" He
enumerated various beneficial meas
urcs adding that the estimates had
been reduced over billion dollars.
He advocated enforcement of the
laws against proftcering and said
it was possible to check the advance
of prices by law, by providing for
"the control of credits in such man
ncr as to give preference to the most
essential products" He described the
railroad act Gas single great law
which in any period would be sufi-
cient to distinguish Congress as one
of high accomplishment"

consciousness of work we'll and
faithfully performed. Whitman
county has never had a better school
superintendent than Miss Busbey.

STATE COLLEGE CAN CARE
FOR WASHINGTON GIRLS
Dormitory Facilities TrebIed for
Next Year

The State College Campus will be
marked with many new changes
when school opens in the fall. New
buildings are being erected and a
number of other improvements are
under way.
Because of the increased enroll
ment at the State College it was
found necessary to erect two new
girls dormitories. McCroskey hall.
| the first of these to be built, is a
large building situated on the cam
pus and will accommodate n wom-
en- 1t is a three-story building de-
signed along the lines of Italian
Renaissance. In addition to the
three dormitory floors there is a
ground floor which will contain
huge dining room large enough to
accommodate $50 people. The first
floor will be given partly to recep-
ton rooms, a large living room,
kitchenette and a suite for the pre-
ceptress of the hall. The balance of
the first and the second and third
floors will be taken up in rooms and
suites. The suites will consist of
two bedrooms and a study room.
The Campus Avenue DormitOry
Dormitory three, which has not
been officially named and which is
being built by the Community Build
ing Company across the street from
McCroskey hall on the corner of
Campus avenue and B street, is de-
signed along Colonial lines. 1t is
also three-story building in addi
ton to the ground floor. This
building will house 95 women but
there will be no dining facilities in
this hall. The ground floor will
contain a social room and laundry
accommodations The two upper
floors will be devoted to dormitory
quarters. The rooms of this build
ing are also arranged in single
rooms and suites. The first floor
will be partly occupied by the living
room and matron's suite.
The Kappa Sigma house which
was recently purchased by the State
College has been moved onto the
campus facing Campus avenue and
is to be used as home economics
practice cottage. 1t is being entire
ly remodeled and is being fitted with
steam to replace the air heat which
it formerly had. The wainscoting
is being removed and is being re-
placed in the kitchen with white
tile.
These new college buildings, it is
believed, will afford sufficient room
ing space to make full provision for
the greatly increased number of
women who will attend the State
College next year. The under class
students are given the first oppor-
tunity to occupy the dormitory
rooms and Washington parents may
feel sure that there will not only be
plenty of comfortable rooms for
their daughters but also that these
dormitories will be pleasant and
home like in their atmosphere un-
der the supervision of the dean of
women and the direct management
of the various house preceptresses.
Dormitory rooms should be reserved
in advance of the opening of the
first semester, September 20.

Washington sawmills cut 4,60S,-
1913 NJ. board feet of lumber in 1918,
more than one-seventh of the total
lumber cut of the United States for
that year. With proper forest man
agement, protection, conservative
logging, and restocking, Washington
can cut this amount of timber an
nually forever.

Washington has 800 billion board
feet of standing timber, according
to late estimates. At $1.75 per
thousand feet this timber is worth
more than $53O.O0O, 900 on the
stump. Manufactured into lumber,
it's value will be increased 20 fold
and amount to more than ten and a
half billion dollars.
