A citizens meeting was held in the
Court House last Thursday to hear
Mr.. John Blanks of Kentucky to dis
cuss the marketing of tobacco Mr..
Blanks represents the Tobacco Grow
ers Marketing Association, and he ad-
dressed several business men and
farmers for about an hour. The
speaker was very much enthused
about his work, and stressed the point,
1T Is Right" Meaning by this that
the association was the right way to
sell tobacco. He read several affi-
davlts from farmers, business men
and bankers of Kentucky endorsing
the association. The speaker was

Ever since we can remember the
State printing has always been done
in Columbia. Of course, all other
printings plants could have submitted
figures, but on account Of not having
the machinery to do the work, it was
passed up. The Manning Times has
one Of the best equipped Offices in the
State, and knowing we had the equip
ment and the printers capable of
handling this work, we decided to try
and bring some of this money to Man
ming. About three weeks ago we
submitted our bids against six city
bids on the election printing, and be-
ing the lowest bidder, we were award
cd the contract. Bids were opened
last Friday in Columbia. for the
Comptroller Generals printing, which
to several thousand dollars.
On account of the volume of work,
there were only five bidders, and The
Manning Times was awarded this
contract. We naturally feel proud of
this work, as we bid against large
city plants, and too, it will bring
thousands of dollars to Manning that
never came here before.
