Charleston has again given an exhibition of that kindness and hospitality which has made her famous in both hemispheres. There is no city in this or the mother country that can make the stranger feel more at home, and when once a taste of Char leston's cordiality is obtained, there clings to one a lasting de sire to go back for more. Char leston is a great place, her peo ple are great people, and she has now within her portals the greatest business promoting en terprise that has ever been inaugurated in the South, and it was to Charleston, her people, and to her exposition, that the South Carolina State Press As sociation, about one hundred strong, went, saw, and were con quered. Did the editors have a good time? If the kind and generous attentions of Captain F. W. Wagner, president of the Exposition Company, and Major J. C. Hemphill a director of the company, and editor of the News & Courier, could not make the party feel like they were living in a happy dream, then there is no such thing as an editor having the sense of ap preciation. These two distin guished gentlemen-the former distinguished in the commercial line, and the other in letters, gave up their individual inter ests and were constant and tire less in their attentions to the country pencil pushers. We simply owned the earth from a fresh glass of beer, to a steam boat. We owned the city, and our beautiful blue badges gave us an entrance to all that was going, from a christian science reading room* to a blind tiger. - We did the "expo," by first be ing received in the Auditorium by the Mayor Smyth and Di rector General Averill whose speeches of welcome, together with the grand music of the band made us feel that the price of corn need not give us a care. The speeches were responded to by His Excellency the governor, and Colonel E. H. Aull, the -esident of the Association,also1 e?s. Virginia D. Young, who by: the way, -is not only a writer with a universal reputation, but < one of the sweetest little women, that ever came into public life, and a trip of the Association without her, would be like a whiskey sour without the whis key, to a man who had been out the night before, attending a 1 woman's suffrage convention. The press gang was takenj through the buildings, and in these, the exhibitors were busy putting in their exhibits, the vast amount of material, varied and, valuable, and from everywhere,i that is now being opened up, and 1 being put in position is simply marvelous. No one can con ceive, without a personal visiti the extent of this exposition-it is a busy world within itself,i where all nations, with their 1 modes and customs can be seen. Everybody in the party was car ried away with the architectural< beauty of the Court of Palaces, .1 with their connecting colonades,< the beautiful statuary. the magnificent lake and sunken 1 garden, the majestic trees and lovely flowers. The whole, 1 making a scene that was be yond conception; after walking I ourselves tired, we were halted at the woman's building. which is the first completed and its ex hibits in place; -here we found a I bevy of stately and beautiful< women, who received us with a warmth truly characteristic of i Charleston, here were some a more speeches, and best of all a i lunch was served. In this build- c ing is exhibited the silk culturec of this State, together with i colonial relics, and a number of a other things to interest the visit- i or. In this rambling article we E will not attempt to give any- 1 thing like an adequate descrip- i tion, it is our purpose simply, to a sketch briefly our trip. The i Midway people opened up a I special performance for us, and r we visited the Esquimaux vil- 1 lage, where we attended a very a pleasing native performance, we I went through the Grotto, saw Jim c Kay, the famous educated horse, 1 and took in Bostock's wild ani- 1 mal show. In the Midway there e are to be more attractions than I were at Buffalo, and the reason ( they are not opened now, is the < existance of a car famine, which is fast being relieved, as the freight carriers are beginning to ] bring the things in. Before the holidays this feature of the ex- t position will be in full blast, and t then the visitors can have all I the fun they want. The expo- I sition has enough now, to make E . it very interesting for the sight- i seer, but by the last of the i month the exhibits will be in c place and then the rush of peo- i ple will go in. We have no i hesitancy in advising those who < can only make one trip to wait f until about the 1st of February, t affair will be in full blast, and the grounds will be more beau tified. People can go now and get their money's worth, but, if they want to do the exposition fully and can only make one trip, in our judgient a little later will be better. The shiw is a good one, fMr ahedoi of At lanta, Nashville, or Omaha, and in many respects excels Butfalo. This exposition excels Butfalo in the location of it s groInds, its buildings and exlibits, the onily thingi ILtatfalo beats Charles ton, in. is the electric display, and that is because it had the Niagara for its power, but the illuminations here are beautiful, and at a distance the domes of the large buildings attract uni versal admiration. The press gang took a trip around the harbor went near Fort Sumter, passed by Castle Pinckney, Morris and James Islands, Moultrieville, the Jet ties, went up Cooper and Ashley rivers. On the boat the Associa tion held a session where resolu tions of thanks were adopted and speeches made: everybody was happy, we were landed at the exposition wharf, and after an other round of some of the build ings we returned to the city on the street cars. We lived at the Argyle Hotel-we initiated the Argyle Hotel, the South Car olina State Press Association has identified itself with the future history of this magnificent hos telry: we were the first to occu py its rooms, and to partake of the products of its kitchen, the first to sleep in its beds, and the first to mingle in social commun ion in its parlors, and whenever the Argyle is mentioned in the presence of a South Carolina edi tor,he or she will at once sound the praises of Capt. Thos. Wilson the owner, and Dr. E. R. Wilson his son, who is aiding in the management. The Argyle is situated on the corner of Meet ng and Hasell streets, conven ent to all the wholesale and re tail portions of the city and, with the city railway at its doors, con venient to all oarts of the city. he building is on the site where ;tood many years ago the "Pa ilion," later the "St Charles" the iouse was once designated by us is an "owl roost." The Wilson's ought this property. and with ;he thrift characteristic of all ;turdy Scotchmen, they tore the rhole inside of the building out, ind left nothing standing but the iaked brick walls: after hav ng these examined by expert uilders, and finding them not )ly in good condition, but with. class of work in them seldom: een in this hurry-up-to-get b.rough-date of building, they et them stand, and today every stick of timber and every inch of laster in that edifice is bran ew. The interior has been reatly changed, by reducing the umber of rooms and increasing heir size, and opening up more assage ways, this hotel for com fort and convenience cannot he scelled in the South. The lobby v-ith its ornamental steel ceilin~gs nd marble floors, its Frenen )late front on two streets, its 'ide marble stairway leading up-1 ;tairs from the lobby, and the1 lvered radiators together with he beautifully carved furniture, 1 ~ives the entrance, a cheer ul and inviting appearance hen we go up stairs where the oors are laid with the newest ;tyles of carpets and rugs; every . rhere there is a luxurious coi iess, and in the drawing rooms, he grandest of mirrors, expen ;ive bric-a-brac and rugs and assively rich furniture show 1 hat the management has pared no expense in giv- 1 g to Charleston an up- 1 o-date house for the traveler. [he bed-rooms are furnished vith the best of antique carved )ak furniture, and some have rass and enameled iron, the bed~ ~lothing is of the best quality,1 mnd to most of the rooms are at ached bath and toilet closets here there is hot and cold wa er, electric bells and lights in ~very room. and the entire house jeated. There are a numberz of 1 riate parlors attached to uites, and then there are some )rivate dining rooms where riends can be entertained without ~oming in contact with the gen ral guests of the hotel. There1 also a cafe on the second floor vith a private stairway leading [own into the hall, and into the ourt yard. In this cafe mealss an be obtained until two o'clock i the morning. The sleeping partments and entertaining ooms are everything that mon y, good taste and an effort to ease could accomplish. The ining room is on the first floor, 1 ,nd this too is beautiful, it re inds one of the salons described y visitors to the European pal ces, all the grandeur that ca.n be t ad from a large room, artistic- a 1ly decorated high ceiling, and ~ Langing therefrom massive 'handeliers, filled with number ess globes of crystal for electric I ights, the massively carved .ntique oak tables and side - oards, covered with the most *xpensive arnd spotless linen, ut glass, silver and china o arranged as to attract one's ~ttention to its refined elegance. n this salon there is a service hich cannot be excelled, and ~ ie management had an eye to his when it employed only the e lest and most: experienced help. ['he kitchen is one of the great- ~ st departments of this hostelry: i 1 it the mind of the p~ractical aechanic and man of affairs s' an be seen on every hand: this t epartment is so arranged that tis almost self cleansing, so e omplete are its appointments: e roi the ranges and steaming 3 ables to the places where the ing appliance has been put in, besides the place is constantly being inspected. The meals are prepared by an expert chef, and the excellent cooking is the subject of comment already sulni coffee and breid, such steaks and roasts, have never been eaten before in this State. In one article such as we can spare, we cannot do justice to the ele ,gance, cosiness, comfort and real pleasure it is to be a guest at the Argyle. There is one thing certain, as lorg as any oF the Wilson family permit their names to be connected with thils institution, the traveling public can rest assured that it will bo run on first class business prin ciples. and with a certainty that a guest at the Argyle will not need to blush when asked where he or she stops. In the Argyle there will be no enter tainments provided for guests, such as cock-roach chasev, or bug hunts, there will be no ants to pester sleep out of a tired body, nor will there be any apeish form and cold, indiffer ent treatment. Captain Wilson was not brought up as an orna ment himself, and the only orna ments he has use for, are those inanimate objects that he can place about in the house to please the eye of his guests. The gentlemen behind the regis ter must be men of business and usefulness: Captain Wilson has no objection to their being handsome, but he will require a constant watch to the care of guests, so their every comfort may be obtained. The Charleston trip will be pleasantly remembered by the newspaper people of this State, and it will be their pleasure to lend their aid to advancing the interests of the exposition. Catarrh Cannot be Cured with LOCAL APPLICAIONS. as they cannot reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is a blood or constitutional disease. and in order to rure it you must take internal remedies.

We believe that Mr. Roosevelt s bending his energies manfully o the task of rooting out evils n the body politic that have for 35 years been a rebuke and a nenace to the whole country. We rejoice that he is enforcing he civil service law with uni ~orm rigor throughout the Lnited States, that he is ruling romotions in the army and in he navy by the standard not of olitical or social influence, but f merit and efficiency; that he s insisting that only men of -ecognized ability and of high ersonal character shall be ap >ointed to federal office. Sure y, that man would be ignoble ho in contemplating this cour ~geous policy of the President ~ould discern in it even the lightest partisan advantage. there are occasions and ques ions which, incomprehensible.. ho ugh it may seem to the pro ~essional politician, strip men of he trappings of party and dis lose them in their true relation f fellow citizens animated with common goal.

D. HUGGINS, Our Advertisers. j. R. VENNINC. Our reade-s are now looking arount foi their christmas shopping and w( would like to call their attention to our advertisers. In makir.g the rounds ol this town we beg-in with a look at Ven ning s jewelery establishment, and her( we find a we]l selected stock of jewelry watches, clocks, all manner of orria ments, besides a beautiful line of China cut glass, silver and bisque It is cer tainly a great addition to this town U have such an establishment in Manning. DR. W. M. BROCKINTON. Next door we step into Dr. W. M l h-oekinton's drug store, and here w( find one of t he handsomest prescriptior vases in this part of the State and thE 1elves filled with a full line of drugs and medicines: the show cases are filled w-ith toilet articles, perfumery. soaps, brushes, combs, in fact everything that is handled in a drug store. TONSORIAL PARLOR. We come on down and next to the postoffice we find J. L. Wells' shaving and hair dressing parlor, and for the size of the town we will venture there is no better barber shop anywhere. .\Mr. Wells takes much pride in his ton sorial v-rk. and he gives the people thoro , satisfaction. Leaving the barber shop we turn into Hirschmann's dry goods and millinery establishment. Hirschmann carries a large stock 01 dry goods. clothing, shoes, hats and and gent's furnishings, and in another de partment in1 charge of Mrs. Hirsch mann and an expert milliner from New York. they have a fine line of millinery where the very latest, in shapes and trimmings can be had. and as -he sea son advances they are selling cheap BROWN t CO. On we gc to W. E. Brown & Co's., drug store. where Dr. Arant is in charge of the prescription department, and where Doctor's Brown and Dickson, prominent physicians are to be found when not out attending professional calls. W. E. Brown & Co's store con tains all tht can be found in a drug store where the stock is kept in first class order. They handle a nice line of toilet and fancy goods, besides fine perfuieries. and stationery. At this store can be had to select from a nice line of cige.rs and tobacco. RACKET STORE. The New York Racket Store comes next, and Mr. S. I. Till the proprietor is a hustler for business as will be seen by a careful perusal of his well written advertisments in THE TIMES. At this store it takes time and a knowledge of the business to properly describe its contents: it is on the department order and almost every thing can be bought here. The dry goods department has all that the ladies can wish for, and the shoe stock is large and varied, the clothing stock is heavy and bargains are offered. The New York Racket people have prided themselves on doing a large millinery trade and this depart ment under the management of Mrs. Stella Bass has been so successful that Mr. Till wants for next season to ex tend the space. Till pro'poses to make changes in his business on the new year and to prepare for it he is selling off his entire stock cheap. NIMMER'S GROCERY. Thomas Nimmer, the grocer and fruiter is next door and here is fruit, nuts, confectionery, vegetables and toys to beat the band. Nimmer's place has merited a rep~utation for good things to eat, and in hunting . up a christmas dinner it will pay you to take your basket and go there. He keeps all kinds of canned goods, cranberries, macaroni, mince meats. celery, in fact everything to please the honsekeeper, besides his toy and firework stock is larger than ever before. HARDWARE AND STOVES. The Manning EHardware Co., is the place to visit if you want to supply your house with a nice stove, or With cooking utensils, crockery, glass ware, cutlery, and all manner of things to aid the house keeper in equipping her household. Then all kinds of builders hardware, and tools for mechanics, parts' of machinery and everything that can be found in and up-to-date hardware store. We have no hesitency in saying that the Ervin brothers have given to Manning an establishment which has been of great benefit to the community, and one which is highly appeciated by the people. C. M. DAVIS & CO. This establishment is under the man gement of Mr. J. D. Gerald, a man of business experience. and one who has exhibited fine taste in the selection of his stocks. He is the founder of the only exclusive gents furnishing goods tore in Manning and by his thorough business methods he has built up a business to be proud of. At this store we find clothing of every style and description to suit the wants of the people, and every article sold by him earries with it the guarentee of first class manufacturers. If you want a suit of clothes that will give you satis faction in quality, style and fit, Mr. Gerald can supply you. His gent's ICIA DHG Kick a dog and he bites you. He bites you and you kick him.

Here we are at the R. B. Loryea Drug Store., sign of the golten mortar. Isaac M. Loryea proprietor. This es tablishment is ahousehold word in Clar endon county and the adjoining coun ties, because its proprietor is an up-to date business man who belieVes in the proper use of printers ink and the thoroughness of keeping up his stock. LIoryea never does things half way, therefore he does not look at the cost, what he wants is the best of every thing. He has adopted that course from the beginning, and the reason his prescription business is so large is because of his employing only the best of pharmarcists and the keeping only of the purest drugs. Loryea will not have anything shoddy abouti him: This is his pride or we might call it a hobby. His store is thoroughly equipped with everything in the drug and medicine line and there is no drug store in this section of the State where better ser vice can he had. While Loryea him self does not resemble Santa Claus in appearance, yet his store looks like they have had dealings with one another. There is to be found here all kinds of handsome and useful ar ticles for presents, there is to be found here an opportunity to select the nicest kind of reading matter and there is also to be found here anything that a first class city drug store will handle. JENKINSO'S DRY GOODS. N. E. Jenkinson whose ambition it is to be king of the dry goods business we find on the corner busy as a bee and his large corps of salesmen and sales ladies all working to reduce his im mense stock before the new year sets in. When Jenkinson makes a pull to reduce his stock, prices do not stand in the way, and it is a fact thait goods are being sold without any consideration for profit. The sole idea is to lighten as much as possible this big stock. It is worth a trip to Manning to visit this immense establishment, it is needless for us to enumerate its contents, be cause everybody knows Jenkinson's store is the equal of any department store in Charleston or Columbia. Miss Coppedge in the millinery department and her assistants are being kept work ing day and night to meet the holiday demand upon them and the opportunity for selecting pretty millinery at little cost was never better. Miss Osborn's dress making department is without a doubt thebee-hive of Manning,in it there a number of ladies are kept constant ly busy making up suits such as have never been. turned out in this town be fore, and notwithstanding this Jenkin son has his business so arranged that he can handle twice the business and give the people prompt attention. '1OLD RELIABLE". Across the street on the opposite corner is "The Old Reliable" S. A. Rigby, whose store cannot be excelled for its management and polite atten tion of its employees. Mr. Turner who is in charge of the dry goods depart ment has demonstrated what can be done by putting up-to-date methods in to a business, and by putting in the latest of everything in drygoods and dress goods lines. Rigby has built a tremendous business. He has won a big reputation for handling shoes of the best manufacture, and his clothing stock is a place where a good selection can be had. The rule to keep first class goods and sell them at small profits has been a success with Mr. Rigby and as it becomes known his trade increases. Rigby never lets a man or woman go away dissatisfied which is a great thing in mercantile business. It was he who put his shoulder to the wheel this season and entered the cotton buying field so that our farmers could get more for their cotton. Rigby did not want the cotton, but he believed like us. that if the merchants 'here wanted the farmers trade, they would have to protect the market, and with that end in view, he came into competition and broke up the monoply. At Rigby's store be sides clothing the man, woman and child, his grocery department will feed them. Here anything in the grocery line can be bad, and we are sure that it will pay christmas dinner hunters to visit this store. Night Was Her Terror.

On the morning of October 12, 1901, the angel of death entered the home of Mr'. Morgan Lewis Sauls, near Man ning, S. C., and claimed him as his own. The date of one's birth and the date of one's death mark the time limits of a soul, and the two are to it but a ves tibule to eternity. Thus each life comes and goes, but in coming and go ing leaves its own imprint here. The subject of this sketch was born December 5, 1863, in Colleton county, near Walterboro, in which town, in the home of his parents, the greater part of lis boyhood was passed. Naturally independent, ambitious and self-reliant, he could never endure in activity. Added to these characteris tics was an unflagging energy and in domitable will conducive to success in any undertaking. At the early age of 17 he successfully embarked in a mercantile business at Stono: from there he went to Summer ton, Clarendon county. After his mar riage, November 19, 189I, to Miss Fan nie McFaddin, he engaged in farming and merchandising at Sardinia, and only a short time before his death he purchased' a plantation near Manning and devoted the last months of his life to improving this home and erecting the machinery where he received the wound from which death resulted. Conscientious, just and exact, duty, as he saw it, was his rule of conduct. He was a tender, loving husband and father, a dutiful son, affectionate brother and sincere friend. High hopes, encouraging prospects and large possibilities, are suddenly in terrupted. the brighti; vista of life is clouded, death came and after a few hours of suffering, borne with remark able fortitude, snatched this precious jewel from its casket and took it to dwell with the dear Savior whom he professed, loved and honored. But in going a void has been created in his home for which time has no filling. In that circle he is sadly muissed. A devoted wife. six children, mother, brothers and sisters mourn his loss. May the God whoihas afflicted be their comfrter, is the prayer of-One who knew and esteemed him. Health and Beauty. A poor complexion is usually the re sult of a torpid liver or' irregular ac tion of the bowels. Unless nature's re fuse is car'ried off it will surely cause imure blood. Pimples, boils and other erptions follow. This is nature's meth od of throwing off the poisons which the bowels failed to remove. DeWitt's Lit tle Early Risers are world famous for remedying this condition. They stim ulate the liver and promote regular and healthy action of the bowels, but never case griping, cramps or distress. Safe pills. The R. B. Loryea Drug Store.-I Tsae 1.
