county. 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

College and all that it will cost them is a
ew hours of their time. Come to Man

Notice to Farmers.
A very important meeting will be held in
the court house at Manning on the 21st to
consider plans for organizing the farmers
of the county and putting them in co-ope

Clemson College that they may secure for
bhe people of Clarendon the benefit of the
work of the Station and Farmers' Institute.
I will meet the people on that day and
explain the plan of the college authorities.

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.

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

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. This is what he says:

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

They ad not as yet b-een put through the
medical examnination and several are afraid
they will be thirowa out. The company

ACTS and
IGURES.
This is a record-breaking year.
Times are very hard and money
searce. War is now upon us which
will make it more so.
Taking this into consideration I
have decided to break the record by
selling goods cheaper than they have
ever been sold before.
I mean business and mean what I
say, and to show that I am going to
do what I say, will give you
A Few Prices.
I will sell you Sea Island Pereales
2)G inches wide, at 10e per yard, worth
124e any other place.
Numerous Percales,:V; inches wide,
at 8c: worth 1oe.
Belmar Pereales, :-6 inches, for 6c:
worth Nc. These are all warranted
fast colors.
I have the Brakinbury Cloth, a
new fabric for Ladies' Skirts and
Shirt Waists, which 1 am selling for
10c per yard: worth 121c anywhere
else.
I have on hand about 1,000 yards
nice Calicoes which I will sell at the
reduced price of 3je per yard. worth
5c, and the very besc brands in Cal
icoes I sell for 4te, worth 6c. These
are fast colors and will not fade.
I have a beautiful line in Organ
dies, both white and colored, that I
will sell you from 3 to 5c per yard
cheaper than you can buy any place
else. Also a pretty line of Lawns,
both white and colored, you can bay
from 3N to 10c per yard.
In Ginghams I have a beautiful
line which I am selling at 4;c, worth
every cent of 6,c. These goods have
never been known to sell at these
prices before.
My stock of India Lawns is com
plete at prices never sold before.
I have a large lot of 36-inch Sea
Island goods I will sell at 4;c per
yard, or 4c per yard if you take a
bolt. I would like to give you a full
price list of Dry Goods, but for lack
of space I can't do so, but must give
you a few prices on other goods.
In Ladies' Slippers I have a large
line and as pretty as ever bought in
this or any other town. I can sell
you a good Slipper for 55c, worth 75c.
A Slipper that is sold for $1 else
where I am selling for 75c, and a
Slipper that has always sold for
1.50 I will sell you for $1. These
prices I defy anyone to beat.
Ladies' Undervests, 5c, or six for
25c: a better grade worth 15c. I am
selling at 10C, or three for 25c.
SHIRTS. In this my line is com
plete, in Laundried and Unlaundried,
White and Negligee, and you will
find the best Shirt for the money
that you have ever seen. Will sell
you a first rate Percale Laundried
hirt, with bright buttons, a real
pretty Shirt for 25c.
Won't you admit that this is break
ing the record? And all I ask you to
do is to come in with the "cash" and
I will give you some of the best bar
gains that you have ever had. If
you are not ready to buy. come and
et prices whether you have the
money or not, for I am sure when
yoL see my prices and have the
money you will be sure to come back
and buy.
Call early and secure some of the
bargains which I am offering. No
trouble to show goods; will gladly
show you through my stock any time
and prices that will surprise you.
All I ask is to come and give me a
chance.
Thanking you for past patronage
and hoping you will favor me in the
future. I am,
Yours truly,
