The Manning Guards, at one time the pride of the town has been disbanded. and the guns, uniforms and accounttre ments, have been shipped to Columbia. This is to be regreted and we hope the day will never come when the young mn of this town will i-egret that they Idid not interest themselves in the keep ing up of this company. Captain Lewis held on to the organization as long as he could. hoping ceery day that the people would become inter'ested, and keep the company in existance. He deserves credit, in the face of all of tihe discouraging influences, lie held the company as long as he did. A militaiy compan'y in a town like this is a fine p-otection, and the cheapest that can be afforded, and now that wve have none we hope that we will never realize its necessity. Mrs. Calvin Zimmerman. Milesburg. Pa.. says. "As a speedy cure for coughs, colds. crouap and sore throat One Minute Cough Cure is unequal ed It is pleasant for children to take. I hear tily recommend it to mothers." It is the only harmess remedy that produces immediate re sl s. It cures bronchitis, pneumonia. grippe ad throat and lung diseases. It will prevent consumption.

MAN The Prohibitionists are -oing to En ter the political arena with an organ ized effort this year. They propose to organize themselves into "Leagues." and pull for the candidates who are labeled "prohibition." We doubt ex ee-edingly the success of the scheme. as we find the people are not going to be "Leagued" into voting for any man or set of men, but that they are indepen dent thinkers. and will do their own selecting. There are many men who would vote for prohibition if. in their judgment they believed prohibition laws are practicable. but notwithstand ing that they believe in the prineiple. they do not propose to be "Leagued" into voting for any particular candi dates. There was a time in this coun trv when conditions necessitated fac tions. but that time has passed. and the voters do t heir own selecting: a.s a rule. every voter in this county know the vandidates. he knows whether or not he wishes to east his vote for them without being carrolled into a --League." and there be dictated to by a leader. We do not think the "League" scheme will work in Clarendon. Caught a Dreadful Cold. Marion Kooke. manager for T. 'M. Thompson a large importer of line millinery at 1658 SIl waukee Avenue.

Editor The Manning Times: Your inquiring in hist week's issu as to what is being done to re-pre;Sen " C'amp Harry Benbow" at the ap proaching general Reunion to tak< pine on May 30th, at Louisville. Ky. furnishes me with the opportunity o stating our status as to that meeting. 'lhe date selected for that meeting vi'tuallv forbids the attendance of tht agricultural clases and was chosen ir deference to the conveniences and in terests of the commercial classes as be, ing a more desirable element to enter tai, less likely to claim LouisvillE hospitality and with much more mone to spend. This is not the first occasiot that this discrimination has been made. Three-fourths of the Veterans today are toiling for dear ones and heroically striving to defend them against shy. locks and famine. and if the rule of the majority are to govern. surely their convenience should have been the firsit consideration. To call our Camp to assemble at the court house just now would be most in considerate in view of the rush we are making to recover lost ground from wet days and a late spring would very nat urally and excusably result in a beg ardly array of empty benches. 1 am satisfied there is not a member of our Camp that anticipates going to Louis rille. Should there be such a lone in dividual he can call upon Hon. Geo. .. Jones. secretary and treasurer. for a oertificate of membership entitling him to all the hospitality dispensed on the e.;asion. It impresses me that the 'eterans are apidly realizing that these general Re unions are gotten up in the interests of the cities and railroads,. and with no urpose to do them special honor, for heir car fare, hack and hotel expenses tre precisely that of any dude or drum mer. It is true that the absolutely des itute are herded together and fed up >n rough and cold rations with the view of increasing the grand procession >f heroes. who are then marched for ours through the streets often under a blazing sun to be stared out of coun enance by a stupid crowd. the majority >f whom feels no more interest in them han they would in a circus procession. rhese grand Reunions mean a half mil ion dollars to any city that secures it: aence their patriotic desire and hot ights to obtain it. No. the Confederate >oys are getting at a stage of juvenility ind they can't afford to subject them elves to the fatigues, discomforts and xposure of these mammoth meetings alled Reunions, but composed of two hirds citizens out on a cheap excursion. I am sure I but voice the sentiment f the veterans, when I say we have no iesire now to go beyond the confines of ,ur State to attend reunions. Our ac uaintance with troops from other tates are but limited, and this idea of nobilizing thousands of old soldiers inknown to each other is the outcome )f selfish greed. and mercenary motives tnd never reflected our wishes. Our State reunions are most conge ial to us for we look into the brave aces of men who touched elbows with is in the deadly charge, and when we ell bore us bleeding to the rear. These eunions should be -pon the tented eld, and it is my desire to have passed t the next session of the legislature a )ill authorizing the Governor to in truct the Adjutant General to select suitable spot upon a mountain stream emote from any town, and upon the 1st. Ionday in August of every alternate ear erect thereon a sufficient number f tents to accomnodate all State veter ns. cooking untensils and corded wood .o be sup~plied on the grounds. The ents to be erected in brigade formation nd posted so that one can readily find is friends. To see the boys under canvas once ore would be a realization indeed. ree tosing his war songs, throw off his oat. kick off his shoes and pretend he asnt got any cares as of yore, and moke his pipe by the camp fire far way from the dust and confusion of a !ity and the fear of the trolley car run ing over them... Their messes would e organized by correspondence. and oops of chickens. bags of home cured ams and buckets of butter forwarded o chief of mess. Soldiers would again reak bread together, drink out of the ame canteen-and served by the same athful cooks in many instances. D. W. BRAILSFORD. Commanding Camp Harry Benbow.
