We agree with The Spartanbura Herald that it takes big men to make big towns. Maining can be made a much larger town, not with hot air however, it takes some material to build up a town, There is no reason why Manning should not grow, if those who have something to build with will get-together and pull-together this town will have a rapid growth in the next twelve months. The senatorial contest in Alabama promises to be warm and exciting if the episode in congress last Monday between Leader Underwood and Con gressman Hobson is any indication. Hobson jumped on Underwood with both feet, and charged him with being a tool of Wall Street and the liquor interests. Underwood made a stronz denial of the charge, but we look for the two gentlemen to have a hard time of it when they get out on the hustings and receive the sik-em-tige's of their admirers. The Sammy Swamp section is some what disturbed over the rumor that the two escaped convicts from the chaic gang have been recently seen in that ommunity, armed with pistols. and on last Friday night an attempt was made to breAk into the commissary on Mr. J.

Ali of the mischief done in the coun ty now will be laid on the two negroes that escaped from the gang until the real perpetrators are caught, or the convicts are safely back on the -ang. Died in Kingstree last Mlonaay Mr. Louis Jacobs one of the oldest and best known citizens of that town. Mr. Ja cobs had many friends in this county who will attend his funeral in King stree today.

We would especially call the readers Df The Times attention to the new ad vertisements in this issue We always ave good live advertisements, but there are a number of new ones that it will pay to read and put them down on your lists when you start out on a shop ping tour. There are some merchants who have taken up an idea that adver tisements are not read, of course they a~re mistaken, because every intelligent reader wants to know what is goiug on the trading marts, and when they see an advertisement in their county ewspaper they remember it whben they to to town to buy. To prove this let >ne of these merchants that do not be *ieve the people read advertisements ave inserted a pr-ice known to be ex ~raordinarily low and he will be con inced from the calls he will get, they lo read adverrtisements. The colored farmers of the county will have a conference at the colored graded school building next Fr-iday, and addresses will be deliver-ed by R, W.

Har le-y, D W. Robinsou. Dr. D. 1. Cros son and J. W. Guy. It was also decided to petition the legilature to pass an Act providing for an election on State-wide prohibi tion to he held under the same laws overning general elections, not later than Tuesday April 28th, 1914. It was the sense of the convention that the probititiou question, beinir eutirely a moral question, should be kept entirely separate from politics and therefore that the election should he held before the summer campaign of 1914 begins. It is the purpose and desire of the pohibitioniats that this queation be settled by the white voters of the State and we have no intention or de sire of organizing a new party or affl lating with any third party organiza in.
