IN MENIORIAM.

At meeting Of the session Of the
Mannin" Presbyterian church the fol-
lowing memorial WAS adopted:
Whereas, it has pleased our Heaven
ly Father to remove from our midst
and take unto Himself our brother, f.
G. Horton, it is hereby
Resolved, First, that a page in our
book Of records be given to his mem
CRY.
Second, that in the death of MIR.
Horton it may be truly said this COM
munty, this church and its Sunday
School has suffered Il great loss. This
community owes much to him. Ever
awake to its interests, ne never hcsi-
tated to shoulder his share Of any
work tending towards .is towns pro-
gress.
The church Of which hc was a mem
bcr and an officer, and the Sabbath
School Of which he was the Supcrin-
tendent, owes him much. AS mem
ber he discharged his duties so pune
tually and faithfully that it became
natural to call upon him when things
had to be dispatched quickly.
As the Superintendent of the Sab
bath School he diligently looked after
the lambs of the fold, and from Sab
bath to Sabbath gave them the sincere
milk Of the word.
AS a member of the session he was
wise counselor, respected by his as
sociates, and strong staff of support
to his pastor.
In all the walks Of life his influence
was felt and always for good. In the
homo, II social circles, in the business
world his religion was manifest as
well as in the church. His picty was
of that bright, joyous type which at
tracts rather than rcpcts.
We. his associates, miss the strong
gracious influence Of his presence
amongst us, but in memory of the life
Of this servant of God will be an in
riration to many.
TO the loved ones who are left to
bear the burden and heat of the day
a little longer there is the comforting
assurance that the Savior has well
coined him to the Many Mansions of
the Father with the words "Well
done good and faithful servant, enter
thou into the joys Of thy Lord"

Accept "Standard Return"

Atlanta, March 1G.-The Southern
hallway system will not accept the
"Standard return" provided in the
new transportation act it was learned
here today but will back up the belief
Of its officials in the continued pros

What OUR COUNTY
FARMERS ARE DOING

Mr.. Stacllhouse Holiday, who lives
near Manning, has built very SER
viceable and comfortable hog house.
1t is GA" shaped and large enough
Tor four large hogs to steep in at one
time. Mr.. Holiday has not over
looked the fact that if the best results
are to be secured from raising live
stock proper care must be taken with
them and one part Of the proper care
is adequate housing. Animals can
not pu: on flesh and generate a lot
of heat at the same time. This thew
must do during cold rainy weather in
winter unless shelter is provided. Bet

Another essential to success in live
stock raising is fresh, clean water.
Mr.. II. B. Richardson, Of Summerton,
has his troughs arranged so that all
his stock can drink c1ean water. He
has troughs about two feet off the
ground for his mules and cows to
drink from and then several troughs
right on the ground for his hogs to
drink from. Stock 90 not like to
drink filthy, muddy water any better
than people do, nor will they thrive
on it. This would be a good thing
for every farmer to remember the
next time he is especially enjoying a
cool drink Of water ON hot day.

Mr.. George Tintlal had some of his
men busy laying tile darins last week.
Mr.. Tindal has already laid several
miles of tile drains on his farm and it
is paying proposition or he would
not be continuing the project. On Mr.
TindaPs farm there are very few
bitches that must be cleaned out every
winter or that are in the way in sum-
.mer when planting, cultivating and
harvesting time is here. In most of
his farm he can drive around as if
there was never any need of draining
and yet his land is being drained. Be-
sides the land where The ditch used
to be is now used for growing crops
and that same piece of land will in a
few years pay for the tile drain by
the increase gained in his crops. The
boil weevil thinks grassy, trashy
ditch bank is just the ideal home for
its winter quarters. 'Nutf scd. There
are miles and miles of bitches in
Clarendon that should have tile drains
ii them and then covered up. Ask
Nh. Tindal how profitable it is.

Messrs. j. e. Davis and G.. N. Sprott
attended the purebrcd Duroc hog sale
at Cartersvillc last week and several
days later six fine sows and a good
boar arrived in Manning by express.
The farmers near Davis Station are
to be congratulated that this fine stock
will be kept in their neighborhood and
thus have the use Of a sire of the type
purchased. Too many farmers have
not yet realized the value of purcbrcd
sires and are unaware Of the enorm-
Gus loss yearly by the use of scrub
sires. When at Davis Station drop
in and see this fine stock and you will
go away with a determination to own
some like them yourself.
The scrub sire is doomed in the
United States. The United States De
partment of Agriculture is putting on
campaign for "Better Sires-Bcttcr
Stock The sire is half the herd and
more, and, therefore the best and
quickest way to improve and grade
up your herd is to use purcbred sircs
Every farmer and breeder should Join
i'm this movement and eradicate that
costly pest-the scrub sire. The fol-

endon have already joined in this
campaign. tFor information ask

Mr.. G. G. Bcatson, who lives near
Bloomville, set out Bermuda pasture
last spring, fertilized it we'll, kept the
stock off of it until the grass had
made goo growth and would not be
injured by grazing. Several months
later he purchased a purcbrod Duroc
pig or two and now he has fine com
bination; good Bermuda pasture and
good hogs. Pastures and livestock
must always go together if success
with livestock is to be obtained Every
farm should have good Bermuda

ERNEST II. GARCIA.

Ernest B. Garcia should be supported by believers
in clean government and district attorneys office
free from the menace of politics.
Mr.. Craig has chosen to be chairman of the state
republican committee. Therefore the people should
choose another for district attorney The posi-
tons not compatible. One demands the good
will of everybody including lawbreakers; the other
properly administered, ncurs the ill-will of law vio-
lators.
Good government demands grand juries and in
dctments and convictions. Good politics, as state
chairman demands that crooks be dealt with gently
and, perhaps allowed to get by"
There may be significance in there having
been no grand jury in Bernalilo county in Septem-
Der. It's absence would be freer from suspicion if
Mr. Craig were not state chairman, and this is an
election year.
Ernest Garcia is Mr.. Craig's superior as a lawyer
He has the highest character. He believes in law
and order. He will prosecute vigorously and has
no political alliances to entangle his feet and thus
keep him from marching in the direction of his
duty officer
Elect Mr.. Garcia He is one of the most de-
serving men on any ticket this year.

Alessandro Matteucci should be defeated for
sheriff His record is not encouraging to the lovers
of good government. If he has not actually been
engaged in unworthy occupations he has been too
intimately associated with them to be the law officer
of county.
The criminal docket of this county shows his
name defendant in more than case Such
man may be unfortunate, but those who would pro-
tect their children must insist the charged
with law enforcement having clean record.
An open town for liquor, gambling and question
able women may be expected a reasonable result
of his election.
Good morals demand his defeat
Justice requires that there be no confusion of
this candidate with Amedeo Matteucc of Matteucci
and Palladino. No is criticizing the latter.

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.

Chicago. Oct. 2S.-Wheat moved
upward in price today owing to
more or less definite word of con-
tingent settlement of the British
coal strike. The close was ner-
vous, &c to 1%c net higher, with
December $2.074 to s2.07A and
MaTSh s2.01h to $2.01h. Corn
finished unchanged to 7sc higher
and oats gained u to sc. In pro-
visions the outcome was a setback
of soc to SIPS.
At first the wheat market show
ed decided downward tendency
due to a considerable degree to I'M
expected delay in the British strike
negotiations and to bearish con-
tentions that the farm stock in this
country had not developed to the
extent which had been looked for.
A sharp rally. however. followed
the receipt of news that the terms
of settlement of the British strike
had been officially announced.
Lifting Of a railway embargo at
Baltimore was an additional as
sistance to the bulls. On the other
hand, much uncertainty in the late
trading resulted from gossip that
during the next few months France
would be out of the market.
Reports that Nebraska farmers
would burn corn this winter in
stead of coal was an influence for
higher prices on corn and oats.

SAUCE FOR THE GOOSE.

There has been a great deal of talk of late about
the attitude which should be maintained by men
towards women in politics. An incident which by
is familiar to everyone is that the action of
group of republican worfen in distributing through
the state copies of the l-advsed editorial written
by free lance, and attributed by the republicans
to the democratic party even after the article and
its author had been repudated by them. This Incl
dent has been the of much recrimination on
the part of local republicans
Lawyers will tell you, if your own experience has
not already done so, that it is bad thing to say
evil things about any one. An evil thing is one that
isn't true-or woman takes it. 1t is a worse
thing to repeat the SANDER and to spread it, Every
with intelligence knows that it is dangerous to
cause friction that 1t will not develop country
or, prove constructive in any way.
When republican women lend themselves to
spreading malicious and untrue statements which
will trouble with no corrective view in
sight, their action can be explained in only one of
two ways. Either they did what they did because
they knew what the effect of such thing would be,
and they did not care as long they for THE
ticket which they had espoused, Or else they .Wrs
