Summerton Sayings

We do not believe that man should
"kick" his home town, but we do be-
lieve in constructive criticism. With
this in view, we wish to criticise two
things:
A ditch. This ditch, paralleling
Main Street for about four hundred
yards and in the rear of the lots of
Mrs. Ed. Briggs, Mr.. John Baskins,
Mr.. NJ. G. Stuckey, Mr.. Camel Chewn-
ing, Mrs. Wilkie, Mr.. Windham and
several lots rented by negroes, is
breeding place for mosquitoes, often
sive odors, and, probably, sickness. 1t
could be easily remedied by proper
cleaning; in fact several of the lot
owners have offered to clean their
portion, but others refused to CO.
operate. We suggest that the health
board take a look for themselves--br
sure, to bring your gas masks for pro-
lection.
The Holiness Meeting. We agcre
with the Preacher that there is "a
time to weep, and time to laugh; a
time to mourn, and time to dance"
but we do contend that "the time" is
not twelve o'clock at night. Just the
other night, we understood, jealous
convert was carrying on his mission
airy efforts under the depot so loudly
that many families were disturbed.
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1922-08-09

Now it would be shame to have to
call out our police force for night
duty after the usual hard days work
and, besides, it is nuisance to have
our sleep interrupted at all times OF
night. We suggest that this congre.
cation be asked to cool down or close
down.

Editor Manning Times:
Please allow me small amount Of
space to discuss some matters that
think are of Importance to the county.
by q recent act Of the Executive
Committee, notice that boxes are to
be provided at the primary for the
purpose of allowing the voters to ex-
press their desire for the continuance
or discontinuance Of the work done by
the Farm Demonstration and Home
Demonstration Agents, County Nurse
and Rural Policeman.
The County Demonstration Agents
have been of tremendous benefit to
the county, and while l do not per-
sonally derive any direct benefit, yet
the indirect benefit in which we all
share is very great. Mr.. Gray, our
present Agent, is very valuable
man to the farming interests Of the
county, and especially so in view of
the present disorganization and un-
certainty Of all farming operations.
| have heard reports from all over
the county Of good work that has
been done by the Home Demonstration
Agents among the ladies. They are
just beginning in this county, I am
informed, their work in the matter Of
obtaining & market for the products
of the club members. This is n
means of education to the farmers
wives, and in addition to the great
economic benefit, it is Of great in
tellcctual and social benefit to them.
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1922-08-09
The amount that it costs is small and
we cannot Afford To dianan4in.,a

The amount that it costs is small and
we cannot afford to discontinue it.
The whole matter of demonstration
work is educational and it seems in
consistent to spend thousands of dol
lars on public school and re-
fuse to spend few hundred dollars in
a way that will make the public school
education more available, practical
and valuable to the men and women
of the county.
The County Nurse is comparative
ly new enterprise with us but it has
done tremendous amount of good
not only among the poverty stricken
OF the county who are too poor to pay
a Doctor, but also by school examina-
tions and private advice the Nurse
has greatly benefited the people at
large. A man of considerable means
told me this week that he thought his
baby was living now because of tho
advice that he had received from the
County Nurse. The tonsil clinic that
we had last year was the means not
only of saving several thousand dol
lars to the parents Of sixty-fve child
rem, but also was the direct cause of
many of these children being in good
health today when otherwise they
growth, handicapped lin their physical
and mental development, and per
manently injured. Their condition
was discovered by the Nurse and the
parents could afford $4,000, when
they could not have afforded the time
and money to carry the children to a
hospital and pay a high price for an
operation. 1t is we'll, also, to rcmem-
Der that tuberculosis is present in the
county as never before and that q
patient can infect many others, and
that the advice Of the County Nurse
and her attention and agitation Of the
subject has resulted in, and will
always result in greater care of those
suffering from this disease and less
danger of injury to the patients as
sociates.
AS to the Rural Policemen. + have
heard criticisms of these officers, much
of which / think is untrue, but I will
not argue. that proposition, as hold
40 brief for them; but do strcnu-
ously object to the proposition that
we shall get rid of this system with
out putting some other in it's place.
These officers do not cost the county
anything, as the fines paid by boot
leggers amount to more than their
salaries. If they are as inefficient as
their most rabid opponents claim,
still the fact remains that the LIQUOR
sellers are paying their wages, and
they do not prevent any other agency
or work in tho suppression Of the
liquor traffic One great trouble with
all of us is that all of our zeal for an
orderly community exhausts itself in
criticisms Of the officers and we make
no. effort to, aid them or to do any
thing ourselves to correct improper
conditions. IF these officers are un-
satisfactory put in others. IF some
other system is better, then substitute
some other system; but please do not
destroy the system that we have to
suppress disorder without substituting
something in it's place.
A word as to costs. / calculate that

and Home Demonstration Agents and

The above article of Mr.. DuRant
will be read with interest, and it will
be given due consideration by the peoi
pie. But on behalf of the Executivb
Committee we will state that the step
taken by the committee was to let
the people say whether or not they
wanted these offices continued, and not
for any grievance. If these different
offices are what the taxpayers want
they will say so with their vote. We
can see no harm in putting this in the
primary, and give the people chance
to express their opinion on the way
their money should be expended

Dresses Are Frequently De-
veloped in Black With Touch
of Vivid Embroidery.

Copyright. 1922. by Vogue. New York.
A LTHOUGH the spring modes
"A have brought with them a
= wide choice of gay colorings
in morning and afternoon gowns, the
dress of crepe and crepe faced satin
(s569-70) is frequently developed in
black, with an added touch of vivid
embroidery. The long wasted sur
plice frock is a graceful example of
the style best suited to black, because
of the effective opportunity offered
for contrasting color in the facing
of the panels of the skirt and the bell
shaped sleeves. The upward tilt in
front OF the skirt is yet another way
of suggesting the uneven hemline.
Two charming frocks (6545 and
654S) are noteworthy for the simple
ity and youthful lines which are the
features of both. White crepe de
Chine delicately embroidered in gay
colors makes the frock at the right
and rows of cream colored Valenci-
ennes lace edge the neckline and the
sleeves. Hand hemstitching or entire
deux is the effective decoration of the
organdie frock at the left. Organdie
is certain to have a popular career
and Is combined with taffeta in many
models.
Built on straight lines. to insure
perfect laundering, and yet wide
enough for active sports (6540) is a
frock of white batiste and linen, with
collar and cuffs of the linen. This
type of frock may also be admirably
developed I'm two colors or in the new
combination of kasha and Canton
crepe.
The informal type of frock (6544) is
best developed in one of the lovely silk
crepes, since the moderately slender
silhouette demanded by the mode finds
It's best expression in soft. straight
folds. The problem of the uneven
hemline is solved in somewhat diff
ferent and very attractive manner.

say the importers.
It is of satisfaction to Americans who
wish to find Paris precedence for their
clothes selections that the disposition
among most of the well known designers
is to make a keen distinction between
the length OF street frocks and frocks
designed for evening or formal after
noon wear We may still wear the skirt
OF our spring suit or our sport skirts
seven or eight inches from the ground
without lacking good French authority.
FroclSs designed for very young women
also retain fairly short skirt length
while most Of the stage gowns here
and in France exploit the skirt that
Is strikingly long.
Evening and more formal froclSs with
an uneven skirt length or with draping
that touches the ground In one place
and reveals more than the ankle IN an
other are also solace TO the spirit oi

Frocks Arc wcarabIe.

You cannot possibly quarrel with the
way the French designers have handled
the sleeve question. The new sleeves
possess such Infinite variety that for
every type Of woman and for every
shade Of taste there must be one that
IL acceptable. n was quite different
two or three years ago when the very
short sleeve was to be found on almost
every frock OF French Importation that
was not really sleeveless. no ne sure
these frocks could be altered providing
sleeves or greater substance. but when
this was done they lacked the cachet of
French inspiration. There has been far
less modification Of French imports this
year than has been the case In many
moons. Within the last two weeks
fashionable women all over the country
have responded to the invitations Of
their dressmakers to view their recent
importations. In tho orders that have
resulted with profit to the dressmakers
there have been few calls for nodifica-
tions The copies ordered have usually
been veritablc copies, departing from
the line and proportion and detail of the
French original only TO suit individual
requirements.
This Is the state OF affairs that ~
summed up when those who have seen
collections Of the new French clothes
speak 0f them as distinctly "wearable."
70 be sure, there are many styles

light in this country. oddly enough u
also happens that certain details Of n
