THlE KN.[NG TIMES. wr~anin in g, d3. c. WEDNESDAY; MARCH 14, 1888. S. A. NETTLES, Editor. TO MANNING BUSINESS MEN. All agree that something must be done to build up Manning, that its voluie of business must be increased. That is all true; but who is to do it? and how is it to'be done? Heretofore our business men have thought it was sufficient to buy goods and place them on the shelves in their stores, expecting the people to know they had.them. Occasionally a begrudg ed advertisement, with possibly the remark.it will do me no good, has beenwgien the county paper, and still the merchants wonder why the trade leaves this place. It may seem strange, but it is true, we get more money for advertising from Sumter merchants than from the Manning merchants. Is it any wonder that the Olarendon trade is going to Sum ter! Is-it not natural for the people to suppose that the merchant who makes free use of printer's ink, and tells them he has bargains for them, is the one from whom they will buy their goods? Will not this advertis ing cause the people to talk to each other about the merchant and place, and then to go to That place and do their trading? We get each year about two or three times as much money from the Charleston merchants as from the Manning merchants, and yet-our merchants complain that the trade is going to Charleston. Our Manning merchants say it does not payto advertise; and the trade is goi elsewhere: the Charleston and ter merchants say it pays to advertise in Clarendon papers ; and thetrade is going to Sumter and Charleston. Does it take a philos .pber to read between these lines ? Again, if the merchants patronize thr home paper, a better paper can 1e. -pblihed, one that will reflect - .dionthe town. A shabby, sickly eigahe~i at once conveys the -anon that it represents a shab ~- y town, doing a shabby 'ousiness. Sdhe people of this county will bear W-out in the assertion that we have ;,lwa published a paper superior to hote e encouragement given us. B we don't want any patronage .tha comes to us in the shape of char it. We do'a great deal of this. Ev ery church fair and dinner and pri 4ste entertainment expects and de anands us to advertise them for noth Rig, seldom even thanking us for the avsr, and- we do it willingly. We - *equently give different merchants .other parties, two, five, or ten dol a freeadvertising; we do it cheer ' fully, and they take it as a matter of codree. That is all right. But when wre-ask a merchant for an advertise ment, that is business, and we think itarill benefit him and the town, and - don't lketo be told, 'Tll give you -aitte advertisement to help you on, buti don't think it will do me any Agood.E Nor do we so lower our self reipect as to insist on any merchant : .~mus an advertisement because hives one to another paper. We that one of the best ways to the Clarendon trade is to adver tise and thereby let the people know that we can meet competition, and not to sit quietly by, an'd let other -mercanfacall offthe trade. For ev ery dollar paid us, we endeavor to miakeit-pay back five or ten fokl Letour merchants keep a good sup ..W and variety of goods, sell at 'asmall proit, use printer's ink freely and judiciously, and they will find, a revolution in the trade of this place. We mustmake an ef fort to keep the trade, if we expect tokeep it. A UARMFUL DRAMA. We cannot say that we are unequiv ocally opposed to theatre-going, but our opinion is that it is generally barmful We were last week at two of the "plays by the Meyer-Thorne Comedy company, and enjoyed it, but afterwards, having calmly reviewed the plays, we have come to the delib erate conclusion, that both the plays we saw were injurious, and especially the one played Saturday night, "Woman's Devotion." This play is, we think, calculated to do .harm, by familiarizing one with crime, and not, at the same time makin~g it suf frciently repulsive. In this play, besides' other crimes, two murders occur with the nonchalance of, shooting an offending dog, and it has the tendency to impress one, and es pecaly the young, that human life asbut little value. For a play not to be harmful it should point a moral or else be for fun. But where, as in this play, grave crimes are committed sad not at the same time condemned; where one sees a man shot down, and is not made to feel the horrors of such a deed, we cannot see where aught but harm can come. One might just as well rmad the yellow back blood aud thunder ten cents literature, as to bear either pf the two plays alluded to, "Woman's Devotion" or "M'Liss." Wye do not wish to be understood as ondemoning in a wholesale way the drama, for we think that sometimes it is beneficial in a numbher of ways, and affords a great deal of innocent recreation; but we do think that the reading of yellow-back dime novels and attending such plays as "o apan's Devotion" are not caleuiated-to improve or in any way bene~t the sporals of our youths. The News and Courier says, "There are faint rmors. of opposition to Con gressman Dargan fromSolicitor H. H. Newton, of Marlbor.o, and Col. Prss ley Barron, of Clarendon."

He was born March 22, 1797, and was therefore nearly ninety-one years old. He was a man of many fine traits of character, and devotedly loved his German people. He re ceived a military education, and took part in the campaigns against Napol eon in 1813 and 1814. In 1849 he be came commander-in-chief of the Prus sian army. In 1858, he was appoint ed Regent, his brother, Frederick Wil liam IV., becoming insane. In 1861, he ascended the Prussian throne. In 1862, a civil war came near beginning because of "divine right" ideas. In 1866, he had a war with Austria, and in 1870, France declared war against Germany. So both the Germans were victorious, and the German ~ Empire was formed, King William becoming Emperor. France paid $1,000,000,000 indemnity and ceded Alsace and Lor raine to Germany. He was married in 1829. His eldest son, the afflicted Crown Prince, married Victoria, Princess Royal of England, in 1858. He succeeds his father under the title of Frederick the Third, and goes at once from San Remo to Berlin to as sume his high and responsible posi tion. The new emperor, Frederick, is suf fering from cancer of the throat, and is expected to live only a short time. He is said to be a man of many fine qualities, similar to his father's, and that the Germans are pleased at his accession to the throne. No materil changes in the policy of the govern ment are expected. At the death of Frederick, William, his oldest son, born Jan. 29, 1859, will become em peror. Col. E. B. C. Cash. Col. E. B. C. Cash died at his res idence in Chesterfield county last Sat urday, March 10. Col. Cash was a brave though rash man, and his name will be remembered in connection with dueling for years to come. The last duel in this State was the mem orable Cash-Shannon duel in 1880, in which Col. Shannon received a mor tal wound, and Col. Cash was put on trial for his life, the first and only case on record in the State in which a du elist was tried for his life. The News and Courier says, at the beginning of the civil war Col. Cash interested himself in the formation of a regiment of volunteers and was elected colonel of the 8th regiment, which did excellent service at First Manassas. Col. Cash was compli mented by Gen. Kershaw, in his re port of the battle, for his "courageous bearing and his able and efficient con duct of the regiment during the whole day." When the time came for the reor ganization of the army, Col. Cash was not re-elected, and he returned to his home near Cash's Depot, in Chester field county, where he remained un til the close of the struggle. Many tales are told of his large-hearted charity. Always abundantly supplied with corn and wheat, he declined ab solutely to sell it to speculators, but held it and sold it to persons in the neighborhood who were in needy cir cumstances. It may be said that -he gave his stores away, for the price he charged for it, in Confederate money, was only what such grain was worth in gold before the war. Col. Cash took but little interest in public affairs until the campaign of 1876, when he was an active and ar dent supporter of Gen. Hampton and the other Democratic candidates. He was an uncompromising Democrat in the campaigni of 1876, and devotedly attached to Gen. Hampton. It is re lated of him that when Gen. Hamp ton was recovering from the accident which so nearly p~roved fatal, Col. Cash went up to him and congratulat ed him and was so overcome by emo tion that he could not utter a word save, "Thank God." The tears liter ally poured down his furrowed cheeks. Yet in 1882 Col. Cash joined himself to the Greenbaek-Republican party in South Carolina, and denounced Gen. Hampton and all the Democratic leaders in South Carolina in a most extravagant fashion. Col Cash was the candidate for Congress in his dis trict on the Greenback-Republican ticket, and was defeated. CoL Cash was a man of strong pas sions, and ill-regulated mind, but he had undoubtedly some high and good qualities, and it is pleasauter to dwell upon-these at sueh a time as this than to recall the darker phases of his sad career.
