We therefore give fair notice that on the first day of June we will strike off names; this is not a pleasure for us but it is better to take off such names as will nort pay than to increase the indebtedness and still get nothing. Another matter we wish to call attention to. After the first day of June we will strike from our mail. ing ats the names of persons who have been getting the paper free. We give this notice in time and if the Times is worth We call the attention of our readers to the new advertisement of E. C. Horton. This merchant has a full and complete stock of every thing kept in a first class store. Mr. Horton is a careful buyer and makes it a point to keep posted on tie styles and markets, of one thing our read ers can feel certain Horton doe's not allow his goods to become old on his shelves and if you want to make a cash purchase a buy er will have a hard time getting away from him if good goods, and low priees are to be considered.

Mr. Uindal is in his element when it comes to matters pertaining to the in terest of farmers, and the meeting, a notice >f which appears elsewhere, should be largely attended. It is his purpose to put the farmers within easy reach of the bene its of the scientific researches of Clem';on College and all that it will cost them is a ew hours of their time.

Our Clarendon Boys in Camp. South Carolina Volunteers, Fair Grounds, Columbia. S. C., - May 7, 1898. The Manning Guards recached here safe nd sound about 12:30 o'clock last Thuars ay afternoon. We were joined in Sumter y the Darlington Guards and the Sumter Light Infantry. Our train being crowded, the two last mentioned compantes came in n a special. All of Sumter seemed to be at the depot and cheer atter cheer was given us. Our boys responded with a yell which some maid the Spaniards heard in Cuba. The Sumter boys and those lovely girls rushed n to speak and say good-bye to their friends from Manning. To their surprise .nd disappointment only two could be ound-our captain and 1st lieutenant who are, by the way, originally from the ioun try. The boys, married ad single, cannot stop talking about those young ladies who came down~ the line just before we left and gave us their hand with words of~cheer and comfort. How do those boys feel whom we left be hind that are htill members of the company? Some we know could have joined us. We gave up our all, why should they not have done the same? This question must be answered and settled by their own con sciences. Some of the boys proposed to send them mother-hubbards and bonnets, but this will not be done. 'Tis said th~e young ladies of Sumter are going to pre sent each young man in that town with this very important dress. We are quartered on the second floor of the main building at the lair grounds. I his is much better than expected. About 750 men are in these barracks. A large umber are camped out at Hyatt's Park. Our 1st lieutenant regrets that we were not sent there. His reason is a good one-a young lady friend of his lives out there. Souvenirs that were brought over with us from home are too numerous to mention save one-a young lady gave her glove to a young man to keep until he returns. What does this mean? He cnnnot explain it him. We had one battle yesterday; all were wounded with two exceptions-the captain nd Private Cockerill, each of these having been vaccinated last winter. The boys all say they would rather do double duty. But such are the trials and hardships of the Spanish-Americun war. We will all be examined physically next week and those having defective eyesight. etc., will be sent back home to their loved nes. Not one man in the company will rejoice if he is rejected. Newv men are coming in daily-four new nes to-day. Some of the boys say to those ho apply, "Boys, we have the best looking aptain on the groun d, besides he is a Cit adel graduate." Everything is now undler strict military discipline. Only a few have been out in the city and then only for a very short time. Our boys, being uniformed, were given guard duty to perform the first night. This, of course, is not pleasant in such a rain as we had up here yesterday. The boys tell a rich one on Tom Stukes, who is the life of the company. He was ut on post and instructed to allow no one to pass. An old hen crossed his post; he would not allow her small chicks to follow, but informed sonme of the boys standing nearby to keep their eyes on her, as he was now living on "stewed accidents." All the boys are enjoying good health. 'hey will all attend divine services to norrow at the different churches in the We must have at least twenty more men to hold the organization. Let every one that has the interest of the company at eart send us a man. We will lose a few men on the examination and will be al lowed ten days to recruit up to eighty-four. What we have to eat, the captain says, is ust as good as he had at the Citadel, so our friends can rest satistiedl we will not starve. I will give you all the news every week. nd, of course, will expect a few copies of your paper. tuy Yours . tru.ly OLARENDON RESPONDS. OUR BOYS IN BLUE. Brawn and Grit Tendered Uncle Sam, CHILLY ENTUSIASM IN 31ANNIM. History of the Guards-Somie Ladies, Children and Citizens at the DIepot to Say Good-Bve-A Noble The Manning Guards responded to the call of duty and are now in camp at Columbia. As soon as Governor Ellerbe called for volonteers, in compliance with the request of President McKinley Captain W. C. Davis, desirous of giving his historic command a place in the picture "and near the flashing of the guns," went to work to get the boys together, but the task was a hard one, for the reason that, un der our militia laws thirty-two men pass muster, and it was with great difficulty a company could be main tained, the State virtually giving no support to her militia: however Cap tain Davis, with his usual energy, de termined that Clarendon should not be found skulking when the country asked for her services and he set about to meet the requirements of the United States, i. e., to raise eightv-four men, rank and file. sight and day Captain Davis worked and not without obstacles, but he succeeded sufficiently to be accepted by Colonel Auld, who was detailed to furnish three companies from his regiment, and last Thursday morning the company left Manning sixty strong, escorted to the depot by the Pickaninny Brass Band, which played patriotic airs until the train left. At the depot Captain Bradham, who has faced an enemy on more than one occasion and whose empty sleeve is his badge of honor, gave the bovs a talk. The language he employed sent a thrill through his hearers and many an eye became moistened. This veteran knew what the boys would soon experience and as he talked to them his whole frame quivered with emotion. Capain Da vis responded and thanked the gal lant old veteran for his words of counsel and cheer and promised to endeavor to make a record equal to that of the old corps whose name the company bears. He, too, seemed much affected, but in his breast there was a pride that can only be, felt by a man who responds to; duty. Some ladies, children and a few of the citizens were there to see them off, quite in contrast with other towns where business was suspended and the soldier boys were given a "God bless you" from the en tire populace. The cause of this ap parent indifference here, might have been on account of there being only one man in the company whose resi dence is in the town, although on the company roll there appears the names of several Manningites, who have no family ties to hold them, but these declined to volunteer as was their legal right, therefore the town of Manning can only glory in having in the service Captain Davis. All the rest are the brawny and nervy sons of our Clarendon farmers. These farmer boys who have sacrificed their all and have gone forward to protect the nation's honor will al ways, wherever they go, remember that noble, lovely woman, Mrs. J. Horton Rigby, who, with several other ladies, went among the boys, shook their hands and bade them good-bye, and in her tear moistened eyes the boys read the prayer that se was making in their behalf. The boys appreciated her goodness of heart and when we left them in camp numbers of them asked us to be re membered to Miss Cammie. On the arrival of the train a spe cial car was provided for the soldiers and as It rolled out the ladies waved their hankerchiefs and the boys cheered- At all the stations on the route were groups of people who cheered the boys in blue, and when the train reached Sumter the entire population was there to see their boys off: they also made much of the boys from Clarendon and they seemed considerably surprised when they learned that the Manning Guards was made up entirely from the country with the exception of the captain, and he an original country boy. Our boys answered their ques tions about the cause of no Manning boys being with them and gave as an excuse "the boys from Manning are gentlemen of business and have not time to serve their country;" others said "their papa's would not let them go, and their mamma's were afraid they would soil their high-standing collars and their pat ent leather shoes;" then others ac counted for their absence by the "insufficient number of commissioned officers allowed to a company," and still others said "it was a lack of grit." One of the Sumter ladies told our boys to make out a list of the fellows~ who flunked and each one would be presented with a mother hubbard dress." From Sumter to Columbia wher ever a stop was made the boys made the welkin ring with their cheers, and when the train rolled under the union shied in Columbia hundreds of people were there to greet them. Major Thompson took charge and the Darlington Guards, Manning Guards and Sumter Light Infantry, headed by a brass band, were march ed to the fair grounds. Clarendon's company had more uniformed men than the others and they created a good deal of favora ble comment. Our boys were as signed to fine quarters, the second story of machinery hall, where they were provided with mattresses. The following are the boys coim posing the company which left here last week: WV C Davis, Captain. A C Davis, 1st Lieutenant. J E Kielley, 2d Lieutenant. WV W~ Joh-nson. 1-t Sergeant.

Th Manning Guards has a history which Clarendon feels proud of, and in order to be correct we communicated with one of the survivors who left here with the company and is tolay nurs.ing a wound which he regards a sacred mark of honor that he received battling in the ranks of thi coma.

The survivors caie homeu from the war and, turning tiheir swords into plongh shares, they started life afresh. The cou pany was reorganized in 1SN7, sixty-five strong, with A Levi, captain; W B Bon ham, 1st lieutenint; 1 A Johnson. 2d 1e tenant; P B T ha-e, 31 lieutenant; Louis Appelt, ist ser-ant. When this company v-as reorganized th. p -ople remuenbued the history of the gal luot corps that followed -mpton and th came to the assistance of the boys in pro uring, nnifors--. A fair was held and through the efforts ot onr business ue-, conspicuous among thei was Mr. Moses Levi, cont:ibutions wver- received from numerous qnarters. The ladies turned out en masse and, under the leadership of Mrs. F. N. Wilson, the court house was convert ed into i bower of ' veliness for three days and niThts, and b-auty, chivalry, flowers, bunting and musie reigned supreme, and enough moaey was raised to buy the uni forms. Captain Levi, jnst from a military school, soon had the b ys well up in the manual and when they went into encampmnent at Spartanbarg th.-y mad- the "hit" of the camp. They also went into encampment at Greenvil:e and engaged in the sham bat tle at Columbia under the captainey of . I. dagnal. Later W. C. Davis becamue captain atid when he received order-; from Governor Tilimnan on account of the "Darlington Riot" he responded and endeavored to carry his company. About ten member obeyed orders: the others were persuaded. by citizens to refuse. This affair resulted in the Governor issuing an order diismiis ig all who refused to obey. At that timwe fctional politics was rtunninz high and this was, in a large measure, the cause of the citizens obstracting the governor in his efforts to execute the law. Not alone did some of our citizens persuade the boys to "rfuse," but it so happened that M1r. A. C. Jones, the present Staite chairman of the Prhibition exi-cutive committee, was here that memorable rnght, and he also worket hard with the bcys to prevent them from "helping Tillman to enforce the dispensary law." Ever since this unfortunate affair there has been a coolness against the com pany. Those who were dismissed regarded the'Governor's iactionl in expelling them and publishing them to the world arbitrary and unjust. The result was that very few of the town men were members of the -:om pany at the tinme war was declared. When Captain Davis undertook to alnost treble the size of his company as required by the United States authorities he found that old feeling still existing, enough at least to furnish an excuse for- not volun teering, but he did at least expect the unmarried members of his company to stand by hira, and it was these who re-, fused, tihat keenly disappointed him. He got up) his comoany and is now in camip hoping that others from Clarendou will ~ally to him anid sustain the reputation or the "old Mianning Guards so meritoriously made in thc war between the State-s. The Claren don boys need more mnt and they wvant thetn fromu home, so tihat this county will have a p1:1ce in history, shonid the op)portuinity lbe utforde-l. If any of our young men woul-i like to serve their coun try we hope they will communicate wa:h Captain Davis at once. The writer visited the campn~ last Suintda and we found the b~oys happy and] contetnt ed all cf themi were e-njopalg health and they were pleaset wVit theiur o narters and the~ treatment by their superior oilicers. They ad not as yet b-een put through the medical examnination and several are afraid they will be thirowa out. The company was ordered to the First Baptist church, but later, on ace->unt of that church being crowdd the order was changed to the Epis copal caurcb, atter service they' rtu rned to camp and the color be::re-r vovedi that lie "never did see B iptist foiks goc oni so be fore." ie said -"the preacher and a lot of bos had on frocks" Ii as aL -i'ht to him an'd, he wans constatly wvonderin'; w hy peole "a-ent on so San-lays.
