MANNING MAY CET COMPANY
OF STATE DEFENSE TROOPS
Editor of The Manning Times:
Some time ago it was being advo
cated in the State, that while the
State Militia was in the national
service, it would be well to form a
regiment for home defense.
Governor Manning went to Wash
ington anL took up the matter with
the War Department, and as a result
he dlesignatedl Col. Henry T. Thomp
son to organize in the State a regi
ment of South Carolina State Troops.
The (lay after Governor Manning
appointedl Col. Thompson to organize
this regiment, I was in Columbia, saw
Col. Thompson and told him that I
was quite sure that the people of
Clarendon County would like to orga
nize a company of State Trops here.
He statedl that requests were coming
in from all over the State, but that
if there was any possible chance to
do so, he would like to have a com
pany from this County.
Last week I received the followving
letter:,
"Headquarters First Regiment
South Carolina State Troops.

mandling (Lieutenant-Colonel of Vol
unteers, Spanish-American War).

Dear Mr. O'Bryan:
You spoke to me.( some time ago
about organizing a company of State
Trrops at Manning, and I am writing
to know wvhether it wvoulhl suit you to
have me visit Manning and look over
the situation with you. What (do you
say to some day toward the latter
part of next wveek ?
Please let me hear from you in
regard to this matter as soonl as pos5

Yours very truly,
Henry T. Thompson,
Colonel, Commanding."
I immediately wrote to Col. Thomp
son that we would be glad to have
over next week and look
over the situation.
Those eligible to become members
of the South Carolina Troops are
persons from eighteen to forty-five
years of age. The State Troops
would be subject to the call of the
Governor and the President at any
time, for dluty only wilthin the limits
of the State. They could not be sent
beyond the borders of the State.
These Trroops would (do the service in
the State that has heretofore been
other wordls, they are. troops for
home defense.
We should by all means have such
a company here. With several large
saw-mills in the County and for
other reasons, it seems to me that wve
wvould be losing a splendid opportun
ity if we did not take adlvantage of
the chance now given us to have a
military company here.
I want every person in the County
who would like to join the company
to immediately notify me, either by
letter, 'phone or telegram. It is very
necessary that this be (lone at once,
so that I can show Cal. Thompson,
when he comes next week, that wve
have a sufficient number of meni, in
the County wvho will join the com
pany. It will take about sixty-five
men.
I would adlvise the young men in
the County wvho are subject to dIraft
to join this company. It may he
some time before they are called into
active service, andl in the mean time
they could receive some military
training which wvould assist them
when sent to Camp .Jackson to secure
better positions in the army, and
otherwise be of great benefit to them
there.
According to my understanding,
the Government wvill furnish uniforms
and equipment.
None of the offleers have been se
lected and all of this will have to be
(lone when the company is organizedl.
What I dlesire at this time is for
the young men of the County who
wish to join this company to imme
diately let me knowv, and I will ad

vise them the (lay Col. Thompson is
here, so that they can meet and talk
with him and be fully advised as to
what will be expected of the company.
I trust that there will be a ready re
sponse and that we will have no
trouble whatsoever in organizing a
company of South Carolina State
Troops in Clarendon County.

FOR MEN ONLY.
Throughout the United States the
call has been made for the men of the
Nation to support the3 war work of
the Y. M. C.' A. What is that work ?
The answer is found by looking over
a great army camp or naval station,
both at home and at the front. The
Nation arms the soldier and sailor
andl sends him to fight. If he is
wvounded or taken sick the army (oc
tors andl the Redl Cross minister to
him. But if he is a stalwart, vigor
ous fellow abounding in vitality, what
dloes he find when off (duty? After the
strain and confinement of the camp
or the trench where (does he relax ?
The Y. M. C. A. offers him a place

A DANGEROUS8 MISTAKE
Manning Mothers Should Not Neg
lect Kidney Weakness in Children.
Many children have weak kidneys.
An early wvarning is bed-wetting.
Often followved by backache, head
ache, languor.
'Tis a mistake to neglect these
troubles,
To blame the child for its own dis
tress.
Seek to check the cause,
Save the child from dangerous kid
ney ills.
D~oan's Kidney Pills are especially
for wveak kidneys.
Manning parents know their wvorth.
Mrs. J. S. Bell, S. Boundary St.,
Manning, says: "A younger memb~er
of my family had weak kidneys after
a fever, ie had (dizzy spells .and the
kidneys acted too frequently, causing
much annoyance both (lay and night.
I got Dean's Kidney Pills at the
Dickson Drug Co., and they relieved
the trouble."

PRIVATE MITCHN WRTES
Chattanooga, Tenn., Nov. 7, 1917.
Mr. I. I. Appelt,
Manning, S. C.
Dear Sir:
As a private in the United States
Army I have had the privilege of en
joying some of the things that the
"Young Men's Christian Association"
is providing and dloing for the soldier
boys. With its large hall well fur
nished with seats, desks, writing ma
terial, musical instruments and dif
ferent games, also the movies, it is
at once a parlor, a club room andl a
church for the boys. I feel sure it
is the means of many a mother hear
ing from her boy who wvould not hear
if he had to provide his own writing
material and desk. It furnishes some
of the best sermons by some of the
best ministers in the country, and all
of its amusements andl entertainments
are clean and helpful to the boys,
morally andl spiritually. It has cer
tainly meant a great dleal to me. I
feel that I cannot say too much in
favor of it. This building is only
one of 450 buildings serving the
American soldiers and sailors in our
country. Hundreds more are in ope
ration or projected for American
overseas forces andl for our Allies,
Italy, France and Russia.
