MANNING BANKS STILL
HAVE some WHEAT SEED

What does it profit man to grow
a crop of zoe or even SOC cotton, when
TO DO 1T ne has to inlpovcrish his land
as well as spend all or nearly all his
cotton dollars for grain, hay and
fertilizers.
FOR over fifty years the South has
absolutely been drained regularly of
the billions of dollars that have come
into it in payment for cotton; been
drained of this fabulous sum to pay
for food and grain products that
should have been grown on the
South's own acres. This is what kept
the South poor as section; keeps the
States composing it poor; keeps the
lndlvldual cotton grower poor when
ne ought to be the wealthiest farmer
in the country.
Let us look the matter sQuarcly in
the face. Its fact that the farmer
IN the South who grows enough grain
and hay to see him through the wear,
is the exception. The farmer who has
gram and hay enough to see him
through and surplus to sell in town
mas peen until recent years one ouS
of many.
We sweat and toll all through the
long summer to grow cotton. Sup
pose, we do grow it and sell it for a
good price; where does that cotton
money go? Largely to States like
Illinois, Iowa, Indiana and others for
gram, hay and meat, yet with COOL
seed OF good varieties, intelligent cul-
tivating fertilizing South Carolina
and other Southern States need ask
no odds Of those States farther North
in grain and hay production. The
time to begin stopping this financial
drain in now and the First National
Bank, The Bank of Manning and The
Home Bank and Trust CO., want to
help by furnishing at cost Woods
best selected wheat seed which is
ready for delivery by Mr.. f. p. Erwin
at his warehouse on Dinkins Street.
Price $3.50 per bushel.

HALLOWEEN PARTY

One of the best and most attractive
parties of the season was that given
by the Presbyterian Church at the
old $40 and 25c stand on last Mon
day evening. The place was beautiful
ly decorated with autumn leaves, moss,
pine tree broughs, jack o-lanterns and
other halloween decorations.
AS the guests entered they were
ushered over to table presided over
by, Mrs. |. |. Applet to register, then
told to move on and mix with the
other "spirits" of the evening.
After most Of the guests had arriv-
ed, chord was struck on the piano as
signal for each guest to get his or
partner for the grand march, this be-
ing led by Misses Sue Sprott and
Carolyn Plowdcn.
While the guests were assembled on
the left hand side of the hall, Misses
Mahaffey, Tora Bagnal, Meta Levi,
Sue Sprott, Carolyn Plowdcn and Alice
Wilson entertained them with a
yama yama pantomine. While other
games were being played, the switch"
Miss Corinne Barfeld sitting in her
hut brewcd her tea and told the for
tunes of the guests.
Near the close of the evening the
ladies were told to go into the back
room. Arriving there, they were
given strips Of paper with numbers
printed on them to be pinned around
the wrist; they were then told to get
on table and hold their arms up
high so that the men on the other
side OF the wall could see the hand
and the number. The man getting
your number was your partner for
the rest of the evening. The guests
numbered about hundred.

II HALLOWEEN PARTY

The Epworth League was host on
last Saturday evening at delightful
halloween Carnival in Cothran's
Warehouse. The spacious warehouse
was fittingly decorated with witches
black cats, bats and pumpkins and
there were witches and ghosts around
everywhere. The lights were burning
dimly, encased in queer colorcd
shades. The guests numbering about
90 were met at the door by a ghost
erred Chewning) and when once on
the inside there was plenty to keep
them all amused. Besides side shows.
there was apple bobbing, peanut races,
etc. The crowd was divided into
groups and each group was requested
to get up some sort of stunt for the
entertainment of the crowd. The
group that represented the faculty of
the Manning School was noted to be
the best stunt. The witch, (Mrs.
Luce) who served the brew was kept
busy the entire evening.
The entertainment committee of
the League consisting of Miss Lily
Emma SprOtt and Jno. d. Gerald, Jr.,

POTATO CURING
HOUSE FILLING UP

The Manning Sweet Potato Curing.
House has been receiving potatoes for
curing and storage during the last
week. Indications that difficulty would
be found in securing enough potatoes
to fill the house to capacity were
wrong and it now appears that several
thousand bushels more would be
brought for storage if the space were
available. Great interest is being
taken in the success of the venture by
all farmers and business men for they
see IN 1T the beginning of a new money
crop for Clarendon County. Nearly
sixty individuals have brought pota-
toes to be cured and stored in ouanti-
tics ranging from ten to four hund-
red bushels.
The curing house is divided into
two rooms and curing has been start
ed in one room at this time. The
house will be filled to capacity within
the next few days.

AN APOLOGY

The Manning Times was greatly
imposed on last week when they print
ed an item sent in by party, who
has in the past sent in many items
that were greatly appreciated. This
item read that "Messrs. Dave Wilson
and Ruby Quick had gone to Cuba to
reside" AS we were not familiar with
the names of either parties we added
the Messrs. ourselves thinking prob
ably Ruby was nickname or abbre-
Walton for some other name. Our
attention was called to this item sew
eral times Wednesday night and we
then found that the item was a piece
of spite work sent in with the inten-
ton of doing these innocent parties
unmentionable harm. Mr.. Wilson
was reputable merchant of PaXville
for some time and Miss Ruby Quick
was a clerk in his store. Miss Quick
is young lady of many iovable quail
ties and stood very high in the esteem
of the people of Paxville and also of
all those who know her. She is now,
and has been for several months hold
ing responsible position with a large
concern in Charlotte, N. G.
AS to the party who sent in this
item we are asking them to send us
an apology for this miserable and vile
attempt to ruin the character of hon
orable people. There is law that
covers the offense of giving false in
formation to newspapers and we ad-
wise this party to send us an apology
Immediately.
We sincerely regret the printing of
this item and take this means of
aapologizing both to Mr.. Wilson and
Miss Quick.

it is to read each week the country
newspapers from all over the cOun-
