New York, Dec 26&-Battcrcd and
SCARED by heavy weather, fourteen
ships .plowed slowly into quaran-
tine from early morning until late
afternoon today, the shippers Of
them all reporting IA vicious never

The center ofthc storms which have
been ruling the waves for the last
three weeks, APPEARED to be about

Shippers of the liners said they crash

All Are Battered
All of the ships which came into
quarantine today were frcighters.
Some of the mhad y parts of the

many as were expected. Five ships,
including La Savoic, were overdue.
La Savoie reported she would be

or 2Oth, and would be pleased to hear
from and receive suggestions from
you.
Very truly yours,
G.. G.. Christal.

The above three letters have been
received from Mr.. G. c.. Christal of
Gable: Mr.. Christal is travelling along
the right lines and we believe it is
the duty of every business man and
farmer in Clarendon County to get
busy and form some concrete organi-
cation at once to fight the boil weevil.
Mr.. Christal suggests that a meeting
be held in Manning on January 18th
or goth to formulate some blans to
get one of the 400 experimental farms
that Mr.. Jordan says is going to be
placed in the cotton belt of the South.
1t is time for Clarendon County to
get together and try to get on our
feet. We can do it if we will only
make the effort. There is no one go
ing to jump in and help us unless we
show the proper spirit and start the
work ourselves.
We believe it is the duty of some
of our leading men to take hold of
this movement ut once and get out
and interview the people and see lust
what date they want the meeting
held. Mr.. Christal will gladly fur
nlsh all the help that he can. Let's
hear from some one tomorrow.

A DISASTROUS FIRE

Last Sunday night at 1920 o'clock
the fire alarm was sent in as it was
discovered the large brick stables Of
Thomas Live Stock Co., burning
For four hours four streams of water
were poured into the mass of flames.
1t was one of the most disastrous fires
that Manning has experienced in
years. Atcpnc time looked as if the
Western Union, the Bank Of Mann
ing, The Manning Times, Postoffice,
and Mr.. Tom Nimmer's residence
would fall victims to the fire, but
by hard work the damage was confin-
cd to the Thomas building. In the
building were about sixty-fve to
seventy horses and mules, several
cows and bunch of hogs. Besides
several car loads Of new wagons, bug
gies, automobiles, farm machinery
and ton upon ton of hay, corn, peas,
etc.
The squeals from the burning hogs,
the bellows Of the cows and the means
and groans of dying horses were
heart-rendering, but it was impossible
to save them. Major the big black
horse who was the first horse the
town bought for the fire wagon, and
who for years and years performed
the duties as fire horse, was burned
to death. In fact, both of the town
horses were lost in the fire. We
haven't as yet been able to ascertain
from Mr.. Thomas how many of his
horses and mules were bur; ed, but it
is supposed there were about twenty
flee, besides the cows and hogs.
The Manning Drug Store, which
was in this building was destroyed.
There was $4,000 insurance on the
contents. Mr.. Thomas had $4,000 on
all of his things including the build
ing. Thomas loss is something like
$4,000 net.

FUEL BOSS WILL QUIT

Washington, Dec. 26.-Conrad E.
Spens prepared his resignation to-
day as federal fuel distributor for
transmission tomorrow to President
Harding to become effective Jan
uary 1. Along with it will go a
brief report on the work of the
emergency office, which was estab-
lished September %, after The con-
clusion of the coal strikes. Mr..
Spens will return to his former post
as vice president of the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy Railroad, with
headquarters at Chicago9
It is considered probable that the
fuel distribution Offices will be
closed soon after January 1, al
though an organization will be
held together to care for leftover
details. Under the law creating it,
President Harding may terminate
its activities at. any time by with
drawing a proclamation declaring
an emergency, under which it has
fnnctioned.
