The followig was handed to us yes terday for publction: The amount of 'Clture" and "Refinement" and "In tellect" discovered in our town since the meeting commenced Is amazing! Strange that one who has lived for ten years in the center of the life of the town should have failed to observe the high stt of "culture" esising here.

The candidates for State offices wil be here tomorrow in full force. how al of them will be able to make speeche is a problem, however, it may be bet ter if some of them do not say anything nevertheless Clarendon will give t4 each and every one of them a respect ful hearing, and so far as we are con cerned, it is safe to say most of then are first class men, and worthy of sup port. The people wll hear them to morrow, and will form their judgment and choice.

Each guest brought their favorite recipe and these were fastened into a book which was given as a souvenir t the bride. The gifts were placed in au old-time moss covered well. As the curtain was pulled, Miss Vallye Appel sang 'The Old Oaken Bucket," an( little MissBlanche Venning drew thi gifts and presented them to Miss Har vin.

The series of meetings now being onduted by Rev. B. F. McLendon are not only keepingup their Interest but the interest is growing more en. hsiatic every day. There is not a service but what people from fantand ear are present, and they go away with something new, and impressed with the greatness of 'the minister. [ast Snay night It wasnot ourgood frtune to be present, as we were out o town, but from what .tas been told us the is -aerimated to ave been s 1,6oo persons, it was a record breaker both in attendance, and the lesson taught.. We arrived me Monday morning, and the first ting we heard when on our way tU buiness, was the comments anda the riicisma. This man of God gave to is large andlence his interpretatlon f the ten commandments, and It evi ently went in deep because the com ets are varied.'

The services are not confined~ to denomination, or creed; gentile and ew, protestant and catholic attendl hese services with a great deal of leasure, they learn much, and they feel the inspiration of a man whoms eiyegr of Divine calling, and while thymynot find all of Mr Medo's views agreeable to the achings of their forefathers, yet they ealize that the dilterences are after all f detail rather than ofprlnciple, and the teachings of the Bibleare utimate Iy aimed for the same goaL. We leed Ianstes.* There is some prospect of getting-'a large lumber manufacturing plant in the vicinity of Manning, near enough~ to be of considerable aid to the com nercial interests of this town. Last Friday we had a pleasant cill from Mr. . H. Downman of New Orleans La.. who is at the head of the Carolina Cy press Lumber Company, that has large imber interests in this and adjoining ounties, and he is also at the head of a number of other lumber plants in sev eral States, as well as President of the ational Lumbermen's Association. ir Downman was accompanied by Messrs. Glenn and Brown of whom we entioned last week. We regret these gentlemen did not have time to allow us to Introduce them to the business men of Manning, we should have been delghtea to bave our people meet hese gentlemen, because, they are go ing to establish a plant in this county for the purps of manufacturing the timber In Dil and Woods mill bays, which a ill mean the bringing into this conty vast sums of money. The plant alone will cost over 8200, 000 and the pay roll will amount. according tc their present calculations, to about $16,000 per month. This money will benefit all of our business institutions, 'arer, merchant, and shopman, as well as affording labor for those wku desire employment. The location of the plant has not yet been delinately fixed; these gentlemen are not aversed t3 bringing it near Manning, and we are endeavoring tc have them view this point favorably. As we said last week, their main troht> at present is railroad facilities anc traic arrangement, if this can be sats Isfactorily arranged, the vicinity oj Manning will stand a good chance t< get this establishment, Mr. Downman is favorably impresset with Manning and its surroundinsgs and he will return some day in the near future when he will be glad t< meet the business men of this town The fact of his being at the head o these industrial institutions is sufficien to justify us in the statement that he il not in this country for his health, but is here for business, and it behioove all of ust ienaa him the glad hand. e Politics In Salem. A number of voters of the Salem sec d tion met at Sardinia last Saturday afternoon to discuss the questions of a offering a candidate for the house of f representatives. After discussing the r matter thoroughly it was generally e decided that we wat a man in the race clean handed and flat-footed for the Interest of the people without regard to factionalism. We find these quali ties in Mr. W. N. Rush who was nom Sinated and unanimously endorsed.' Mr. Rush says he will consider the matter and decide within the next few days. X.

Letter No. 2. f To the people of Clarendon Co:- I On the 7th, of January 1914, Senator 1 Appelt, Reps. White and Burgess, e met Supervisor Davis, with his clerk Mr. Brown and the four Commissioners Messrs. Davis, Cole, DesChamps and Haley, in the Supervisor's office. That was my first official meeting with the gentlemen named. Rep. Kennedy was not there. The Auditor was the only other county official who came into the c meeting and had something to say. Matters in general were discussed, but it is finances we are dealing with now. A short time after the legislature of t 1913 had adjourned, there appeared in c The Manning Times a local paragraph something like this; "After the legis- v lature had adjourne-]. when it was too c late to take any action, there appeared an indebtedness against the county of $16,000." That statement stuck in my memory for it gave an inkling of a most pecu liar and unsatisfactory condition in the P official management of our county ananoes. Was anybody "handsomely paid for going through the books and original papers" and making the report to Senator Appelt about this sudden debt of $16,000? d Taxpayers of Clarendon, don't you think that announcement in itself was snough to call forth an authoritative, o official investigation of the county's b iffairs? It apparently xassed unno iced and the debt grew on. In the meeting of January 7th, the 316,000 debt was referred to, and the Supervisor made the statement that bout $4,000 of this "inherited" debt bad been paid by money collected by taxation applicable to that purpose. That the balance, or $12.000 had been paid also, by the economical, judicious , management of the county's affairs. These statements were apparently e x:roborated by the four Commission- e rs, for they said nothing to the con- r Crary. The Supervisor also stated that all , :urrent expenses for 191d, together with ill permanent bridge and load work i had been paid, and the county would beg the fiscal year 1914 with a "clean sheet." Thereupon, Senator Appelt patted him on the shoulder, E mad directing his remarks to Rep. U White, said that splendid condition o l fnances was due largely to the better b management of the county's affairs by four Commissioners, instead of two, as normally. It must be remeihbered that , Mr. White stoutly opposed increasing u the Commissioners from two to four. What does Senator Appelt say now is to the better management by four d instead of two? Who claims the credit c sow? Senator, are these two additional members of the Board really officials of h he county? Can you tell us the date the bill :reating them became law, point us to the page on which we can read it, tell 5 as how it got there and who appointed G the two new members? When the sudden appearance of a y public debt of $16,000 was under dis :ussion, I ventured to ask the gentle- e men present if they did not think the :ndition indicated by this debt called for an investigation?j Senator Appelt replied saying "Yes, y it did look like an investigation should c have been made." Then, almost im- e: mediately he said, "No, I guess not, d it all came from the carelesness of the n ormer administration." These are b his words as near as I recollect them. ti There was no explanation given for to bow this debt came, except this; that 11 lhe supervisor's office had no record of c utstanding claims against the county, 1, ad that they might come pouring in it any time. Then I put in this ques- I ion: "If that be true, and the same t management goes on, what assurance n san the supervisor give that after the is sext legislative session adjourns there b~ rill not appear a debt of $17,000 to ri 100,000? What assurances were given t< hat no such thing could occur. What , lo we see now? Where did the $16,000 debt come b rrom? Did it all come from outstand- s1 g ciaims (?)-clims which had no ti ife or being until they were born on a he supervisor's book, a debt against c he county? 1 Now, that Senator Appelt Is ques- p ~ioning the accuracy of Mr. Searson's. d eport, It would be interesting and en ightening to know by whose authority his aggregate amount of $16,000 was nade up, was a statement to that effect urnished, and how did it get on the ~urvisor's book? Thring the legislative seselon of 1913, JI enator, when you made up the county J upply bill, without consulting with p hehouse members, did you not recog dze, from figures in the supervisor's ifice annual report that there would A se a deficit in 1913 of about $5,000? In the supervisor's report for 1913, A s found this entry: "Amt. to be raised A y taxation t24.112.24." The total tax ,ble property in 1912 was $4,305 925, J he i..g'y for ordinary county purposes C ras 41-2 mills. Multiply 41-2 on $4.- 3 0, 925, and you get $19,376.66. Deduct hat from the amount to be raised and ou have a deficit of $4,235.58. Is thatB at a part of the $16,000, or is it ad- al itiona? Did not that much of the debt si ear before the legislature of 1913 tor,' why did you Ignore the tc ouse members In 1913, when making rc p the supply bill; then in 1914 do the be opposite, leaving the duty entirely gB the house members? When Mr.. hite and I found you in the Senate 1n hamber, and showed you what we had ocalling to your attention -that De here would be a deficit of nearly $10, 00 in 1914, unless the iety "for ordi ary purposes" was raised, why did ol o, with a wave of the hand ~say, 11 that was none of our business, etc., sie hat it was the supervisor's business alook after that, etc." Granting that be suprvisor should have had his re ort, as made to the Comptroller Gen rj, in tbe meeting on January 7th, a 14, that he should have called atten on to the fact that 4 1-2 mills on the tal taxable property for 1913, would o t raise the required amount, and tI ave suggested to the delegation the el cessity of an increased levy. When as his was not done and the delegation 10 iscovered during the legislative ses- l ion, before It was "too late to take ac ion," did it not become our immediate, nperative duty to take joint action ini rranging for an increased levy? What i nod has it done to put off this evil #1 ay? It only adds to the burden. While writing freely about the coin ng bond issues to relieve the people of he condition as easily as possible, call g for "experience and conservatism," e dvising the people to say, "By my act d helped to put it (the County) in such d ,fix," would it not be well for you, ? lenator Appelt, to say, "by my acts, a shirking my duty, 1 have helped to e >ut it in such a fix." In The Times of June 3rd, Senatorb ppelt says, "notwithstanding what he grand jury says, the delegation did neet just before the assemblving of the egislature with the County Commis ;ioners. and at that meeting the finan :ial condition was thoroughly goneU I cannot agree with the statement in he latter clause. No written state- S nents were presented, no books exhib ted, the superyisOr did not have a opy of his annual report to the Comnp. 1en., we did not look into the estima ed exenses account for 1914, and to ny mind the whole meeting was more >r less a farce. In the supervisors annual report for 914 appearithese figures: Total items of expenses for [914.......-....---..... $32 563 86 - Less estimated revenues fr 1914, other than taxes.... 4 500 00 Amount to be raised by axation................ $28 063 86 c These figures did not appear in the c meeting on January 7th.

Fewer People Risking Dangerous Drug Thousands Taking Dodson's Liver Tone .Instead. The use of'calomel, which is a pois on and a form of mercury, seems to be decidedly diminishing nowadays. Dod ;on's Liver Tone takes its place so re liably in cases of constipation and liver rro:b'e that its popularity is spreading more widely all the time. Dodson's Liver Tone is a harmless vegetable-liquid. What calomel does unpleasantly-often with danger-for onstipation and sluggish liver, Dod son's.Liver Tone does for you safely and pleasantly, with no pain and no gripe. It does not interfere in any way with your regular business, hab its or diet. So successful, so reliable and so pop ular a remedy has its imitators, natur ally. But beware of them. You can easily detect the difference. Dodson never mates extravagant statements. His Liver Tone has been made from the first to take the place of calomel. He says that it "livens the liver," overcomes constipation agreea bly and make you feel good. If you are not satisfied completely with Dodson's Liver Tone, Dickson Drug Store will hand back the purchase price (50c.) to you cheerfully, instantly and without question. Hence you run no risks to health or pocketbook in giving it a trial.-Adv. CANDIDATES.
