The inclement weather last Saturday prevented many of the school trustees from-attending a meeting called to discuss the pro priety of making arrangements to carry the children to the exposi tion. The few that braved the weatier for the children's sake, were Messrs. P. B. Mims, J. N. Brown, S. W. McIntosh, J. S. Evans. These gentlemen were enthusiastic over the project, and were sincerely disappointed in the lack of interest shown. In the afternoon we received a let ter from trustees of district No. 3, which is as follows: Panola, March 15, 1902. Hon. Louis Appelt, 'Manning, S. C.: Dear Sir:-Neither Mr. Brailsford or myself are able to come to Manning to day, both of us are suffering from the effects of grippe. Our teachers and ourselves agree with you as to the benefit the school children would derive from a trip to the Exposition. We are willing to draw on the school fund for $25 or $30 to take the cildren from our district down. One coach will accommodate us. I think Mr. Wells will approve the order. If arrangements can be made I suggest some Friday about the middle of April as the best time. We thank you for the interest you are manifesting in the matter. S. P. HOLLADAY. Chr'n Bd. Trustees. Thus showing that there are some trustees who do not regard the scheme as extravagant; we also met on the streets other trustees who could not get to town in time for the meeting,but who favor the idea. We have not despaired, and as the ele ments were against holding a well attended meeting, we will propose that another attempt be made on Saturday 29th inst., at 12 o'clock, and have a meeting of all of the public school trustees. It is hardly necessary for us to say, we are in earnest in this matter, because we believe the trip to the South Carolina and West Indian Exposition will be of lasting benefit to the children; our sincere belief, that it is the duty of every school trustee to attend the meeting on Saturday 29th inst., to aid in devising a plan by which the children of his district can take advantage oi. an opportunity that may never come to them again. This pro jected trip is not a junketing frolic; it is intended as a day for practical study, and the inten tion is, to make it most profitable from an educational standpoint. If the trustees will only do their duty, we believe means'can be devised by which all the white school children of this county over the age of ten years can :see,the grandest and most educating show that has ever been held in the Southern States. Where there is a will, there is a way, and those men who have been entrusted with the educa tional welfare of the children in their respective communities, ought to show a sufficient ap preciation of the honor conferred upon them, to, at least come to the court house to see what can be done to delight the children and feed their brains at the same time. This subject is no bubbling enthusiasm with us, we have children of our own, and realize fully the responsibility of a par ent, and without hesitation, we say, that the money it will take to carry the children to Char leston, whether the same is tak en out of the public funds. or raised by private subscription, is a good investment to them who are desirous of educating those who are to take our places. We so thoroughly believe this, that we lay down the following of fer: If the public schools in the Manning district want to go, and the trustees will not consent to pay for the trip out of the public funds, we will contribute the sum of $20 towards rais ing the necessary money by pri vate subscription. If the trus tees at the meeting on the 29th, decide that they will not use the public funds for the exposition trip, we offer to be one of twenty citizens to contribute the neces sary money to pay the railroad expenses. This is no bluff; it is a pledge we make to do just what we-propose. If all of this fails, then the first teacher of a white school in this county who carries his or her school to the exposition in a body, can draw on las for the sum of five dollars as a'contribution to help bear the expense, providing said school visiting the exposition numbers as many as twenty-five chil dren; and if the school at tending in a body numbers over 30 scholars, the draft can be made on us for $10. Now here is an opportunity for public spirited citizens to do good, and we hope they will fall in line. STATE OF OaIo. CIT or TQLEDO.'* LUCAs Corsy. ' FRANKc 3.

He is -being vigorously opposed on account of being at the head of the round cotton bale trust. The Democratic party under the spokesmanship of Senator Jones went before the country denoun cing trusts, and it was proven that Jones while hypocritically denouncing tru:ts, was himself the president and a director in one of the larges t Is it any wonder that with such leadership the masses refused to confide the government to the Democratic partyY The party needs to rid themselves of Sena tor Jones if it ever again hopes to even be a respectable minori ty much more a probable win ner. Jones the leader, is not alone with his hypocrisy, our own Ben Tillman went over this State denouncing corporations. and with dramatic effect attributed the woes of the people to them. He also claimed the State of New Jersey to be the incubator for fraudulent corporations, and when hard pressed, he confesses being Director in a New Jersey chartered corporation. Such a brazen confession wrung from any other man would mean polit ical death, but what is a glaring inconsistancy in others, in the estimation of some, is a shining virtue with Tillman. La Grippe Quickly Cured. "In the winter of 1898 and 1899 I was taken down with a severe attack of what is called La Grippe." says F. L. Hewett. a prominent drug gist of wintield. Ill. "The only medicine I used was two bottles of Cham'rerlain's Cough Remedy. it broke up the cold and stopped the coughing like maic. and I have never since been troubled with Grippe." Chamberlain's Cough Remedy can always be d6pended upon to break up a severe cold and ward off any threat ened attack of pneumonia. It is pleasant to take. too. which makes it the most desirable and one of the most popular preparations in use for these ailments. For sale by The R. B. Lor yea Drug Store. Isaac M. Loryea. Prop. Workman Corner Notes. Editor The Manning Times: Notwithstanding the hard times and the scarcity of news, I will endeavor to try to let the people of our county hear from this corner through THE TIMES. The corner is situated in the south eastern part of Clarendon county about two-and-o-balf miles south of Midway church: is bounded on the south and east by the waters of Black river: the river makes a sudden bend and is where the corner got its name. but it doesn't mean cornered off fromu the ways of the world or anything that could have a tendency to promote the welfare of Clarendon county. The corner is noted for its fertile soil which produces tobacco, cotton, corn. oats, wheat, rye, potatoes, rice and cane. The corner exports wheat, lum ber and cattle. Many cattle are raised here- there are lots of wilid hogs and cows raised in the river swamp. Many fish are caught on the banks .of the river: some make a specialty of catch ing fish and selling them. We have two public schools at pres ent and education is on a boom. I believe most of the people of this community have already taken in the Exposition. and those who have, are speaking of returning in May to see the wonderful sights again. I hope. Mr. Editor. you will be successful in your plan of taking the school children of this county to the Exposition: it would be equal to months of schooling. I believe the farmers, or most of them, are ready to plant corn as soon as they can decide if spring has fairly come.' I am truly glad to see the farm ers in this community in such good spirits and believe they will try hard to regain what they lost last year on the farms. 'Well, Mr. Editor. I see where you are advising the people to drop the Col. James Tillman and Jenkins sword afair. You say Colonel Jim will cry out persecution. I do hope he will cry. and get what he cries for. as I do think he deserves persecution. I am glad he introduced himself at last to the people Iof South Carolina in his true light, as those who were personally acquainted with him knew him., I know you k-now lots about ('olonel Jim and I hope you will discard that inclination to beg for him so soon, and give us your opinion of him before he fairly enters the race for Governor. I s appose the sentiment of THE TLMES are similar to that of other r-espectable papers, for in stance The Columbia Record. The Co lumbia State. The Yorkville Enquirer. The Florence Times, Greenville News, Anderson Mail, Sumter Daily Item and many others which I fail to remember and which did give Col. "Jim" Hail Columbia: and. Mr. Editor, your beg ging for him won't do. I would bet on your beating him in any race,- after he has made such an ape of himself. He can't be pig and puppy too; he will have to continue to be "Jim."~ Ben may be himself possibly, until his heart ceases '0 yearn. I am sorry- I had so much to say on the subject which you have just begged to be dropoed, but my Irish gets higher and higher, the more I think of Jim Tilman having the cheek to ever offer himself to 61ll the gubernatorial chair of Sonth Carolina. What is the matter w-ith politics in our county?~ We are expecting to hear from new candidates every day: they must have forgotten that old and true saying, "The eearly bird catches the worm." We have one candidate who visits our corner very often, and he is over 25 and has just begun to realize that it takes two to ring the wedding bells He has help. I believe. We are listening for the bells. FA RMER. For the Complexion. The complexion always suffers from biliousnes or constipation.

Editor The Manning Times: The program of the exer-cises of our school as foreshadowed in my several last. communications came off on time in the Academy building Friday even ig the 7th. The execution of the pleasantries, consisting of tableaux, short recitations. etc., was carried out with such beauty and exactness as to merit the wvell done of all concerned. The audience was et .vinced of the fact that in the person of Professor Cotting ham there was a good teacher who, however. was not excelled by the chil dren who proved apt scholars. The audience enjoyed a masterly ef fort from Hon. John Jf. McMahan, State Superintendent of Education.cn the im portance of common school ediaeation. The culmination of all the exercises bi-valve. which was prepared and 1 served by the hostess Miss Julia S.

Murrav till Monday afternoon. He vis ited several country schools in the vi einity and expressed himself as being wellpleased with the work done at each. Dr. M. D. Murray's speech was ap preciated by those present who were fortunate enough to be graduates of Yale and Harvard, while the others enjoyed the talk. but now are burning midnight oil searching Webter's dic tionarv.

Resolved, That Prohibition Will be Carried in South Carolina. The question is asked. "Will Prohi bition ever be carried in South Caro lina?" Ah. what a weighty subject is confronting us, and as the atlirmative side is for the pure and undefiled future of our State I hope our honorable judges will consider very carefully the all important subject engaging our at tention at present. First-What are our chances for pro hibition? If you will review back with me you will find that each year prohi bition has grown stronger and our last election was the strongest vote for pro hibition ever carried, and at dne time we were almost sure that we would have a Prohibition Governor. but fate was against us. Yet we will not be discouraged, but continue to fight on. thou-h 'twill be a labor of love. Almost every paper you pick up, sec ular as well as religious, you will find; something about temperance, and never before has the subject been discussed and debated on as freely as now. Drunkenness is on the decrease in. South Carolina and statistics have shown a falling off of 45 per cent. Knowing these to be truths, now can my opponents for one minute argue with me that there's no chance for pro hibition? All the intelligent men of the day who have studied the subject in hand will agree with me that the chances for prohibition are very bright and encourazing. Now as the clouds are disappearing and the light is beginning to break as! never before in the dark history of the past., what must be done at once to con quer? Christians must wake from their slumbers. as the burden rests upon them entirely. The good women of our land have taken up the work of trying to save humanity and we want charity to begin at home and save our State. Now what better way by which we can reach the people than by a free use of literature? Let our printed I ages be a silent messenger and see, what the result will be. Neal Dow has said that "Maine was not carried for ;rohbition until the State was sown nee deep with temperance literature' and if ev'ery white ribboner would at once begin 'scattering literature in our community it would~ help on prohibi tion. Father and mother have it in their1 grasp to assist in this grand work by teaching their boys and girls total abstinence. 'Tis a very sad thought to see how even Christian parents are neglecting such an important subject. As long as whiskey is sold in South Carolina with the State's consent, so long will its citizens be responsible for it and South Carolina ought now to 'wep liquor out of the State. The temperance sentiment is suffer ing through the dispensary. The argu ment which seems to satisfy a good. many nersons is that men have always had w'hiskey and they will con.inue to have it. Does that, if it were true, au thorize any one to help in the work~ of destroying by the use of whiskey. the happiness and prosperity of those who are not able to stand agaimst the temp-4 tation of strong drink? All praise to those who have stood up in our legislative halls ani urged the discontinuance of wvhiskey. God and right are on their side. If this dis pensary system is right, why would the question of temperance be agitated as it is- now? Simply because it is wrong, and it must be settled by hav ing prohibition. 1. Prohibition is obliged to succeed in the long run, because it is right, and the right is bound to win: for instance,' notice the opposition to the spread and growth of religion. 2. Bound to come because the best people, the Christian people of the land are behind this movement. 3. Will come because everybody who comes in contact with liquor comes out with his reputation besmirched. 4. Must come because all this rotten ness will soon disgust the people. 5. Must come because of the great power in the whiskey machine. 6. Is bound to come because under our Constitution we can never go back to the open bar. 7. Will any say let well enough alone? in grace as you are already good enough. Let ut go one step) further and drive out the dispensary and pro mote the health. the morals and safety of our people. we wvill arise and go to work time will be shorter. Let us pray that every Christian's eyes be opened for the de fense in the rame of suffering hu manity. May God help us as Christians to help rid this State of this monster evil, and let the right prevail, which is prohibi tion: and it's coming by and by. JESSIE CURTIS. I NEGAT1VE SIDE. The great hope of all of our co-work ers of the Christian Temperance Union is that some day prohibition may exist in the fullest degree in this State. How ever earnestly we may hope this,we all have reason enough within us to know that the drinking habit is, to a certain extent. hereditary, and therefore un avoidable. We can never dispense with firmented liquors entirely. So long as this question, along wvith others, have two distinct sides; of course the sup porersoftemeracehave the Bible an th fondation. The insemperate mnntinfrequently recurs, to that passage of scripture which tells of Christ turning water to wine. Then again he says that Christ partook of wine when on earth. We are unable to refute these statements, but oh' says the temperate man. that was consider-. ed no harm in Christ's time, but this isn't quite the way to approach the drunkard, for lhe is fully aware of the fact that alcohol was as injurious to mankind twenty centuries ago as it is to-I day. That alcohol was discovered about 8 enturies before Christ by Alburcasis, who thought it to be the eli':ir of life and thtis it has come down to u< thirough twenty-eight hundr'ed years. Can we then believe that the liquor . callc will be done away with in our Sta:e? No. I repeat it, no'there is no possible chance of South Carolinian's destroying her dispensaries: men have become so bar hat they cease to feel the pangs of :onscientious remorse. Christian par -nts are likely to rear their children into temperate habits while there are -n many parents who are negligent of their duties to God that they care not how they live or how indulgent they are with their children. Therefore the next generation will be just as weak and as intempera te as this, merely because some of the etildren of this day are not, being trained up in the right manner so long as the women, who consider themselves in highest society will not agree to a total abstinence of wine, we need never expeer to destroy the dis pensaries. We cu clearly see that a few women of had influence .vill have more effect upon the high seciety men of our State i :en all the white ribboners we have in South Carolina. Sad, sad, the loved State of our Union can never become a pr(hibition State; the seeds of sin are ;own too deeply in the hearts of so many careless parents. PRESTON BRADHAM.
