TH MANNIG TIlES Pu&ished Every Wedne&day. WEDNESDAY, DEC. 14 1887 B. S. DINKIN S, Editor. The President's message is one < the clearest expositions of the subje< of tariff revenue we have ever seen. . is different from all other messages i that it treats .of only one subject-ti financial condition of the Union, bot present and prospective. To any d siring a full and intelligent knowleda of that important matter of revenu taxation, which will eventually becon the leading principle or plank in ti Democratic platform, we refer thea to this message of President Clev lands. * * The Secretary of War in his annul report states that on the entire Atlar tic and Gulf coast, a line of 2,870 mile and the northern frontier, 2,530 mile the sole protection of the governmet against foreign invasion, is an arms ment of 142 rifled guns, of which 11 are obsolete and of very low powe: The large surplus lying idle in th united States treasury, would make almost perfect the navy and coast de fences of this country. The militia of the several State stand a good chance now of enjoyin in the near future a short camp lii under the supervision of the nationf government. Gen. Sheridan, in h report which is approved by the Se< zetary of War, recommends all poss ble aid by the General Governmer to the NatioDal Guards of the differ ent States and suggests a system < national encampments for State mil tie at the entire expense of the ni tional government. If these recon nmendations are carried out our gallar soldier boys, under the tutel oe Uncle Sam's" blue coated o cer would get a taste of soldier life the would make them better soldiers c at least better citizens. The message of the President con tains this valuable statistical informs tionof the laboring classes of the cour :There are 17,392,099 of our pop -ation engaged in all kinds of indui Ides; 7,670,493 are employed in agr euIture, 4,074,238 in professional an ;. ersonal services, (2,974,876 of who! domestic servants and laborers: -O,256 are employed in trade an ansportation, and 3,837,112 are class - s employed in manufacturing an. -mumg In this last class of manu ;cres and miners is included 375, 143 carpenters and joiners, 285,40: liners, dress-makers, and seam s- reees, 172,726 blacksmiths, 133,75 ailors and tailoresses,102,473 masonm 76,241 butchers, 41,309 bakers, an< 4,891 engaged; in manufacturing agri - cultural implements, aggregating 1, 214;023; leaving 2,623,089 employe< iin such mnanufacturing industries, th President claims, as are declared to be 12benefited b~y a high tarif. We are glad to note that the effor to cut off a part of Clarendon Count to form anew county with parts o mVliamshorg, Darlington, and Marioi counties, has been vetoed by the Sen ate. Smallecounties always suffer wit] hihtaxation. The smaller the coun ty the higher comparatively the taxei are. Every county corporation how ..-ver small, must necessarily have th< same number of officers and the sam< government as larger- counties. Clar endon county has not one inch o ground to spare and for every dollar'i *worth of property taken from her ter .titory the taxes will be increased jus *that much. But it is the inste desir< of every citizen of Clarendon to d< .full justice, brother to brother, and i the projected lopping off of part a Motts township will benefit our fellov eitizens affected by it, all will agree t< give up to their wishes. It is no likely, however, that the citizens o: Motts township will be in any bette. *condition by allying themselves witi another people. They are on this sid< of Lynches River, and will neces-saril' have to cross it in going to their pro posed county-seat. This river is of ?ten affected by freshets and is some times impassable, and at these time: they will be entirely shut off fron communication with their interests This is, in our opinion, a very grav< objection to the new county so far as it affects Clarendon. There are other and weightier objections that could be urged, but a letter received from our senator says that the matter has beer -iman for the present term of the General Assembly. In order that th4 readers of the Tnurs may appreciate the position of our Representatives or the new county move, we take the lib. erty of publishing a part of this lettei which is private. The reasons givez therein are the best and must strik< every one as just and proper. Mr Bhamesays: "To the bill introduced by Senato: Byrd, to form a new county out o portions of Darlington, Marion, Wil liamsburg, and Clarendon, Messrs Tindal, Plowden, and myself preparei and fied with the senate judieia committee to whom the bill had bee2 referred, a statement of our objection to the bill, prominent amqng whici were the objections that their ha< been no su~rvey nor map of the part c our county proposed to be cut off. an< the area th er e of and c the remainder - was uncertain also that in no event was it just o proper to dismember or divide thi county, without first having submittei he matter to a vote of the people i hat part of the .cony proposed t be cut ofl so that it may be ascertain ed beyond a caoubt that the chang was desired by at least a majority c such people. "What effect this protest on ou part hna withthe committaa. I dn nol % of course, know; but it has just made t a report adversely to the proposed - new county to be called "Bee," and the report has been adopted by the senate, and the measure is therefore killed for the session. "I will add that this bill is not con nected with the proposed measure to form the new county of Florence, which will come up for discussion in >f the senate, having already passed the t house, next Wednesday." It n e The Manning (Clarendon) Times thinking that there is a conflict between the Confed erate pension scheme and the home, prefers the former. The one is the supplement of e the otier. e The Clinton (Laurens) Enterprise takes e the same ground as the Times. e At the time the article referred to n by the Register was written, no bill on the subject had been introduced in either House of the General Assembly and our purpose was to show the ad vantage of a pension to destitute Con federate soldiers over the proposed "Home." Our, people . have alwaxs been united in the desire to do some thing for the worn out veterans and 't only the way and the means have been 'vanting. A pension alone without 6 the Home will, in our judgment, do more good and be more economical. e But very few, not one in a hundred e deserving pensioners, would voluntari ly accept assistance through the Home. Throw the money for the es tablishment of the House in the pen s sion pot, and swell that as large as possible. d The annual message of the Presid a ent was published in Congress on the morning of December 6th. On the - following day, the 7th, the American it papers not only contained the mes - sage but the opinion of several of the English press on it. The lengthy doc L- ument was received in the "old world," put through the printers mill and ed torial criticisms of the English press t secured and published in the United f States, all in less than 15 hours. , The generation of 50 years ago nev er dreamed of the attainments and r achievements of this age; and the history of the past teaches us that our present progress in invention and dis . covery will be regarded in the 19th century the infancy of the sciences.. It is, however, beyond the scope of _ the present mind to conceive how fa ture discoveries can improve the next generation of newspapers. This science, at least seems to be at its highest development. I A Holiday Jubilee at Panola on Thurs day the 29th. Notwithstanding the happy descrip - tion given of the gala occasion for Pan - ola on the 29th by our Ponola contri L butor we must add a word in the way of doing something for the success of the fistivities. Our Panola fiiends S areambitious and patriotic. With hard labor and at great cost they have - built a first class academy which is a - great honor and benefit to their com I munity. This building has been all paid for with the exception of about a $175, and now the laborers and pro moters of the projected carnival ex pect to liquidate by this means the t debt on their academy. The purpose ris so praiseworthy that the patronage1 f is bound to be generous; but apart i from this the merits of the Christmas - jubilee, the attractive programme, are ibound to draw crowds and crowds of - people to Panola on the 29th. The first and greatest inducement will be - the presence of Governor Richardson and the pleasure of listening to one of his eloquent speeches. He has been -invited, accepted the invitation, and f will be there. And as another induce Sment we have the authority for stat .ing that Hon. John J. Dargan, of aSumter, and CoL B. Pressley Barron Swill both be present and deliver ad ,dresses. Col Rice, the superintendent of education will not attend as stated by "Panola." A late letter from him rcontains his regrets that he has other 1 >engagements. Next, and by no means the last attraction of the day, the Sthree military companies of the coun ty will be inspected by Governor Richardson. The Guards have ac cepted an invitation through Captain Levi from Captain Brailsford of the Dragoons. This feature of the enter tainment to all who love the military and enjoy seeing our soldiers in their brilliant uniforms, will aford abundant pleasure. A band will be on hand and its martial strains will enthuse every one with life, vivacity, and ani mation. -A boundless Xmas boaid will be spread unsurpassed by a Sar atoga feast. Everybody cordially in vited and all will be royally entertain ed. PANOLA CHIT CHAT. Pasot~a, December 7, 1887. lb. Enron: An apology is always out of place, especially where duty makes the first demand. We are really so isolated and cut toff from the outside world, our only mode of communication being through our old friend Dority, this ought to create much sympathy for us. Our Hon. Senator opens .'mne new light; another new railroad project. The Wilson and summerton Railroad is beyond doubt a good undertaking and an enterprise that will pay a handsomne profit. If this line passes through the-Panola section the mate rial value to be gained by shipments, war Irant the conclusion that to estimite its im portance to this section of Clarendon, it can only be realized by its completion. Will the road be. built? Will Sumimerton suffer Sit to fall asleep and be content to simply 1 hoist its flag ? No. but let Summerton and Panola with a stuborn will unite in this no ble enterprise and help with might to fur ther its designs. There is a growing future for this Panola section. Nothing in my mind will tend to elevate our surroundings, en -hance wealth, build our people up in such a. condition of prosperity, as a railroad, good' schools, and churches; to th'ese two latter they challerge any other community in the. 1 State. 2 They stand foremost in their zeal for eda cation. They have complete~d one 01 the handsomest Academies for a country build - ing, I ever saw. It has been the earnest ef 3 fort of the Board of Trustees of Free Schools f for District No. 2, to place within the reach of every child the opportunity of a common school education. The patrons have done r their work nobly and to themi we are greatly 5 indebted The hous is 50 by 25 feet with. a piazza fronting 25 feet, which togeth with the lot, belongs to the State. There a small balance to be raised to liquidate i indebtedness. On the 29th day of Decer ber there is to be a grand festival when er ry variety of eatables will be sold by the I dies, and in connection there will be a gran display of the military-a batallion drill the three Clarendon companies, A bra; band from Sumter with distinguished gel tlemen to speak to the people. This is be the day of Panola's educational jubile and everybody are invited. The Governo Colonel Rice, and others are looked for. Ti present School Commissioner, Major P.

In all work done, in whatever department, and whatever the extent of ground covered, our motto shall always be Thoroughness. To this end, we shall require that every lesson be learted, if not in time for the class recitation, then elsewhere.
