There seems to be a cotton seed fain

are having to plait over again, and seed
is scarce. We hear that advantage is

true, no man is neighborly who takes
advantage of a calamity, and the man
who fleeces his neighbors because he
has the power will live to regret it.

Complaint has been made at this
office of the failure of THE TIMES to
reach DuRant last week. We tele
phoned Alcolu to ascertain the cause,
and that office says they think it was
delivered to the carrier. We hope this
will not occur again, because it is very
annoying to our subscribers to be disap
pointed in getting their paper, as well
as damaging to the paper itself. It is
possible that the paper was not dis
tributed by the Alcolu office, but that
the failure to reach DuRant was caused
t by the train service, which often hap
pens. It is almost a common thing for
these mail agents on the trains to carry
mail by their stations and sometimes
s they put it off at the wrong station; in
that case the papers seldom get to their
owners, they are usually thrown into
waste baskets. .THE TIMES Mas sent
out Thurday morning and should have

failure is not duietolus.

In conversation with Captain Thomas
Wilson a few days ago, we were given
to understand by this gentleman that
he was inclined to run his road to Man
ning if the people wanted it. The
North Western road from Camden to
Wilson's suits his purposes as well as
if the road came to Manning, but Capt.
Wilson feels an interest in the welfare
o!Manning, eand he is willing to do his
share of the work of building it up, and
we believe if our citizens would come
together and give some practical sup
port to the project, the North Western
)- road will come to MInnn. This
would give us two roads instead of one,
, and bring to the town a large trade
that on account of the convenience of
s railroad tiravel now goes to Sumter.
t Then with a disposition to be enter
prising on the part of our people Capt.
Wilson might be induced to bring his
read from Cades through the Salem
section to Manning, which would give
him a road from Cades to Camden, and
the town of Manning a new source for
trade. We aan have commercial ex
tpansion right here at home and we
tneed it, all that is necessary is to get
th epe-initerested for the buiiding
a fthe reods We ought to have more
railroad facilities if we have to bond
ourselves to help bring them just as
other p laces have done to get out of
s the od ruts.

Another School District.
An application has been filed with
the Superintendent of Educa:ion to or
der an election for a separate school
district at Clarendon, which means
that the educational spirit has been
aroused in that section and ;he people
are determined to improve their school
facilities. We hope the effort will be
successful, because there is nothing
which tends more to elevate and pros
per a community than good schools. It
is often the case when such a project is
on foot, there will be found some who
object because of the increased taxa
tion, but if these same people will but
reflect, they will see that the improved
condition which a good school brings
will far exceed the amount paid in
taxes. The poor man with children is
foolish indeed to throw any obstacle in
the way of better school facilities, be
cause the less property he has the less
he will pay out for taxes anI the more
children he has the greater will be the
benefit to him. If the man with prop
ertv is willing to pay the increased tax
in order to get good schocl facilities
and thereby enhance the value of his
property, the man without property is
doing his children an injustice to com
plain.
We are indeed glad to see the educa
tional spirit strike the several commu
nities in this county, for w here it has
been tried new blood has be en infused
in things; the churches, the farms, the
shops and the stores have all taken on
new life. A few years ago the Salem
section of this county was without good
chool facilities and the whole section
was backward and the people could be
picked nut by their crude appearance.
Today they have one of the best schools
in the county and the homes are beau
tified: their farmino longer look dilap
idated but prosperous, they have fine
churches and fine congregations. The
people are well dressed and are as in
telligent as you will find anywhere;
property is worth twice as much now as
before, and in neai . every home you
visit you find nmusical instruments,
books, magazines, newspapers and cul
ture, morals and intelligence, health
and prosperity, hold communion, and
all this happy ideal condition brought
about in a few years by the enterpris
ing spirit of a few who felt interested
in education.
In the Clarendon section where it is
proposed to better the school facilities,
we can say to those who will be called
upon to vote on the question, that there
could be nothing more encouraging to
other sections than to have a unani
mous vote for a special school district.
Better schools are needed; we owe this
to those who have been entrusted to us,
and as a business proposition we Deed
first class schools to advance our ma
terial interests.

proceedings of the Meeting of Harry Benbow
Camp, No. 471, U. C. V., Held at Man
ning April 27, 190L
The commander, Col. D. W. Brails
ford, called the meeting to order and in
eloquent words thanked the camp for
he honor of being chosen to lead this
allant and historic remnant of Confed
rate 'soldiers in the gatherings of re
nions, and beautifully exemplified the
fiternal greeting and hospitable wel
ome that awaited them at the gates
ad homes of Columbia. He stated the
call was to arrange for the camp to
leave Manning in a body at 7:30 o'clock
May 8th: the round trip would be about
$1.25. He requested that four delegates
ad four alternates be chosen to repre
sent th? camp in Columbia.
On motion of Dr. I. M. Woods as sug
ested by Captain Bradham, the com
Iander apnointed D. J. Bradham, A. J.
Richbourg, J. H. Hodge and Willie
Gaillard, and alternates, R. F. Turner.,
J. E. Richbourg, James McCauley and
. H. Mahoney.
On motion 'of Captain Bradham our
commander, D. W. Brailsford, was
unanimously elected chairman of the
delegation.
Captain .Bradham addressed the
camp at this opportune time on the
subject of Pensions and gave an account
of his stewardship as chairman of the
County Pension~T Board. He said all of
123 applications had been approved
by the State Board and but one disap
proved, and the checks for the same
would be given each applicant before
they went to Columbia, or such was the
instructions of the State. He spoke in
feeling terms of the parting of old com
rades of our last reunions to meet again
beyond the great river and the silver
locks of the remnant few now passing
the fords " to the camps eternal" with
the end in sight of all things mortal to
his comrades in war; he feelingly de
scribed'ari underlying aflilliation only
known to the soldiers that have passed
through the refining fires of battle and
sufferings of war.
The commander gave notice that the
names of every comrade going to Co
lumbia on the 8th of May be given to
the Adjutant who would forward the
same to Major Vance, who would fur
nish accommodations for every name
sent him and each comrade would be
furnished with the number of house in
which he would be entertained gratui
tously while he stayed at the reunion.
Forty comrades came forward and en
rolled for Columbia. The commander
fu'ther directs that any comrade who
wishes to go to Columbia and has not
go, his name on this roll, to send the
name to A. J. Richbourg, St. Paul, by
Wednesday, May 1st, who will add them
promptly.
On motion it- was unanimously car
ried that Miss E. Norville Richardson,
sponsor, and her Maids of Honor, Miss
Margueritte Tindal, Miss Lucie Bar
ron and Miss Mellie Nelson, accom
pany the camp to Columbia. This was
greeted with applause and seemed to
be the beam of happy sunlight that was
Ithe joy of the old veteran's soul in days
long gone by and made perfect in his
old age..
The camp extends an invitation to
Col. H. L. Benbow to go with them to
Columbia as their guest.
A soldier's friend will furnish you
badges at Manning 'esignating your

MODETAD.PUENE
revent us from making the glaring statement that we sell everything in
ur store cheaper than our competitors. Such statements would be very
pt to shake the confidence of our intelligent patrons; but there is-one
hing that we do say with all candor and without fear of successful contra
iction, that we carry ONE of the largest and best selected stocs of Dry
oods of any house in this part of the,State and we defy any first class dry '
oods house who deals in the same elass of goods as we do to name close?
rices thap..we are quoting..
We court comparisons and specially invite the publie to call and loo
t our goods and get our prices and compare them with other houses and .
ee if we are not able to support the abov ac statement.
As we have said before, that we are not prepared to say that wesell
verything cheaper than our competit4rs, but we do feel justified in saying
hat we o'*n many lines of goods that we are selling cheaper than our com
etitors can sell you the same goods, for while in the market we picke.. up
ots of goods below the market value and we are selling these goods in pro
ortion to the low prices at which we got them.
Take, for instance, we picked up while in New York two cases (5,000
yards) of yard-wide Percales that we are selling at 5c per yard. These
oods are all full pieces and perfect goods. Now we know our competiftors
re not selling these goods at these prices, for we know they can't ge
hem, for the same goods are quoted on the wholesale market- today at
er yard.
Take again, for instance, we are selling a nice fast colored Shirting
rint at Sie that is sold everywhere at 5c per yard, but we picked these
oods up at a bargain and we let them go the same way.
Take again, we picked up a lot of fine White Persian Lawns that we
re selling at 15e per yard that are sold everywhere at 25 per yard.
And again, we picked up four boxes of Imported White Organdies that
we are selling at 25c per yard; the same goods are sold elsewhere at 35 per
rard.
And again, we picked up a line of Drummers' Sample Hats, in Felt and'
Straw, at 50 per cent under value and we are lettiug these Sample Hats-go
at proportionate values.
And again we picked up a large lot of All-Wool Flannel Suits, Coat and
ants that we are selling at $3.50 per Suit that you cannot buy elsewhere
for less than S5, and a look at these goods'will convince you of this fact.
And again we picked up a lot of 100 dozen Ladies' Gauze Ulndervests
hat we are selling at 5, 8 and 10c each is in' round dozens at 50, 75'c and $1
per dozen.
Now we feel very confident that you cannot find such values as these
amywhere else in town, and when you see these Vests you will bear us out
in this statement.
There are many other things in our large stock that we picked up
der value and are able and selling cheaper than our competitors can sell
hem, while prudencd and modesty tell us that there are many, many
hings in our store that you can buy just as cheap elsewhere.
"Render unto Caesar the
things that are Caesar's.:
For eighteen years we have served the people of Clarendon County in
the capacity of salesman, and for the last seven years as proprietor of my
wn establishment and during all these long years of service it has ever
een our ambition to merit the confidence of the public, to "Render unto
C=sar the things that are Cesar's" and unto every nan his just dues.
We feel that we have met with success in sharing the confidence of the
public, for The Jenkinson Dry Goods Store is known in every household in
larendon County as a reliable house and a house that deals in reliable
oods.
And The Jenkinson Dry Goods Storc is also known to be a standard
price-maker, for it has come to our ears that some of our worthy contem
oraries haye used our name across their counters, saying that The Jenk
Inson Dry Goods Store asks so and so for such and such goods. Thank
you, my kind friends, for such a high compliment and for thus thinking of
s and advertising us. when we did not expect such a high compliment.
W. E. JENKINSON.
