This concern so well known is running a lot of novelties for the ol-t iday trade and with the usual good taste . f 'Mr. 'Jii' Chandler the !adies wilv find in that establishment a delightfula assortment of nice things and sensible things to present to a sweetbeart. hus band or friend, not only so.this concern i is the most up-to-date clothing and ments' furnishing goods house in Stim ter. and their eqlual would be hard to gnd in the State. Don't forget them at when you want a suit or an overcoat. h Abrams is preparing for a reco-d w breaking saIe. le says that as soot as t e completes his arrangements he rillI I put on a sale in this town that will make se hem sit up at nights with night mare. el 3o it would be well to make ready for he event. Abrams has right nov: a ec arge quantity of goods that he has not or ad the time nor the store space to put d< n his store but he will arrange to han- bt lie the goods and give to the public the Ibt tdvantage of an over-bought stock. and at is competitors a chance to see how he bt :an interest the tublic with bran new ni roods at marvelously low price.;. at We are informed that the ucwn's at- ti, :rney is of the opinion thoi council at: :nnot contract a debt which witl go pt ,eyond the fiscal year. In other words at ouncil has a right. to pledge the town's c axes for the fiscal year or.1v, and no fur- et her. and it cannot pledge aoythin_. be rond their term of office. This will in 0il probability retard the progr-ss of aying the concrete sidewalks so touch lesired. As we understand it council pronoses to build concrete sidewalks in. !ro&t of property whose owners will gree to pay one-half of the cost. those Ti aot agreeing to pay this :,ce-half wili )e passed by. and we understand there re several tight-wads who refuse to in in this progressive move. hence theS a! de walk will be in patches, but it is = ioped they will consent later any-av. L low much it will cost all of the taxpay- hi rs. regardless of where the:y live or own >roperty to pay this one-half for niec PC idewalks on parts of Brooks street we to not know, but council has the power do this, provided it does not contract th 6 debt beyond their term of omFlce. in The Farmers' Meeting. The farmer.- meeting held in Man- vi ing last Weinesdav was not as largely ittended as it should have been. but hose who e.2 attend consider them- th elves amply repaid for coming. They I -e-resented'tbe intelligence and pro- in tressiveness of the county, and, alto Pether being as it was, from all sections gI splendid gathering. ta Captain W. C. Davis, of the Bol ,1 of Ai Lrade, presided and in apprep: -ate G< peecbes introduced the speaker . M Col. James Cosgrove of Charleston, Sc ibo has won meritedfame as an advocate I of drainage and the reclaiming of L. wamp lands, and who has demonstrated oi ts practicibility on the low-lands near oli harleston, was the first speaker, and a his usual business-like manner of p lealing with matters, proceeded to sp ihow .he value of drainage, from an *hi conomic and health standpoint, the in-I reased production, and the increase i nlB: 'and values. Col. Cosgrove's speechl: nade a good impression and we believe of be made converts here. W Congresmian Lever came next, and su those who heard his address were so' barmed with it that we would like to b eroduce it, but space this week for- Ih:s bi Lever has been one of the hard- B: est. worked men in congress, not only looking out for the interests of his own cc listric, but since the illness oi our B: :>wn George Legare has looked out for C] that congressman's district also Lever Ja~ is done more work for the agricultural interests of South Carclina than all of nc the other delegates in congress from Tl this State put together. Both Lever ti ad Legare made the farming interests toesr J. N. Harper, of Clemson Ji College, entertained his audience with diseing fertilizers, their application, P and he drew some practical lessons from i the work done on the farm at Clemson. o Mr. A G. Smith, State agent, made Fi a very laterestingr talk on plant in- B dustry, winter cover crops, barnyard 'G manure. etc. He advocated the sowing or of vetch, burr clover, and legumes of at all sorts to furnish a covering for land H to prevens washing and protect it from L leaching and the general improvement. ly Mr. R. R. Welch, trom the United F< States Department of Agriculture, also g: made an interesting talk on dairying D as a profitable system, the feeding of G cattle with cotton seed meal and the a: tendency of building up the lands. L Mr. W. E. McLendon, who~ is now G engaged in making the soil survey for the nit~ed States government, gave an l explanation of the work he was sent d: here to do, and its great value to the II farmers, what it will result in. and as an intelligent means to supply informa tion to outsiders as to the value and character of the various soils in this county. The last speaker was Mr. Ira W. K Williams, the head of the State demon stration work. Mr. Williams is always interesting, for the reason he alwayts ' has something good to say, and he al- I ways says it well. His talk was prin- I ipally on the educational value to the S boys' corn clubs and be urged them not to'let. the interest lag. b The addresses were given most earc- C st attention, and the meeting did good. s We regret that Charlton DuRant, Esq. ~ was forced to be away, as he is largely ta responsible for the bringing so many 1 good speakers to Mannmng, and we hope there will be a similar meeting ~ again in the near future. c Honor Roll.d Second Grade-Viola Thames.

One thing that has hindered the prog re,,i of the Stuth and prevented hel from taking the place in the affairs o the nation to which --he ought to aspire and, by reasau of her -plendid natura dvn:age-, will ultimately reach. i: that Suthern people are not a readin; peoplhe. no? even of newspapers. as com par-d with other sections of the coun try. Consequently. they do not keel abrea't o the times in any of the affair. of itfe Tihey are, g-ene rally speaking Woefully behind in all those matter that relate to material adsaucementant social welfare. In civic improvement i, agriculture, in education, and in thi ar.- and sciewers, our p-opic, whiti having made -:ome prozre-s. are . e laggards. and have failed to grasp the ouportunities. better than which none can be found any where, that. lie conv-n ientL!v near on every side in this favor eiaand o)f ours. We are contidient thai, the primar:s cause of this unprogressivCees is ignor ance. Our people are lacking in eduea ton. many oif whom cannot, even read and thie tmajority of thos. who can have never for'medi the reading habit. A much a- some are dispose'd t) decry Lhe new-paper. it is nevertheless in this dlag and time the greate'.t of all medium: for intet change of thought, and the bes means of tinding out what is going on it the world and of learning what othel men and women in other sections of the country are thinking and doing. Unfor tunately, the maiss of the people of the South is through indifference or lacd educatio-. "ut off from this sou--ce of in formation. In the 90.0 square mile of the South there are just tifty-thre daily newspapers that run over 20.001 circulation, while in the 94,000 squart miles of Ohio. Pennsylvania and Massa chusetts there are seventy-four. In tha fact., it seems to us. lies ia large par the difference in the progress of the on< section over the other. We make ni mention here of the circulation of tech nical papers in the three States jus mentioned, such as journals relating t agriculture or other industrial occupa tions, together with the current litera ture that pours from the press ever; month. ivhich must run up into the mil lions: but here in the South, outside th cities and larger towns, the literatur which bears on a man's chosen fieldc work is rarely subscribed for and rea, but iitie. It is no wonder. therefori that our people are far behind in th race along near.v all lines. In the matter of edurat ion this is ei pecialiy true, but. foruately for th South. our best people are beginningt ind it out, or rather to appreciate th fact and deplore it, and to insist on th provision of means to remedy the evi ~f its illiteracy. Ungyiestionably. the progressive me and women of the South have a gret task before them-the arousing of th mas. of its population, which lies dot mant like a sleeping giant, to the itt mense possibilities of its natural ri sources and its inspiration to such at tivity as will make the utmost use what nature has so bountifully supplied It is gra:ifying, and a most promnisin indication of the good time to comi that with rare unanimity the pressc Ithe South is seekitng to awaken our pe< pe to their responsibilities and duties Practically. we are out of nation: poities. andl have been ever since th war. although we have made vain a tempts to get into the game: but no there seemns to be a sort of consensusc oonon, unexpressed, to be sure. th: tr's--ii-i the best thing for the Southi to q1uit fooling with national polities an proceed to hard work in furthering i magniient agrieuitura!, minerai an' manufaturing resources as the suret way to recover the political prestige an oower thi., section had before the wai That course, we think, should be et conraged: for there is no hope of th: South's ever gettin'g into naticnal a fairs untl.r present conduit ions withlot ar abandonmnent of its principles, for th Idoing of which we hardly think our pe< Ipie are ready or willing.
