SCHOOL CHILDREN OUGHT TO HAVE
FRIENDS-LIBERALITY OF MESSRS.
WILSON AND ALDERMAN.
A second attempt to get the
school trustees of Clarendon
county together to consult with
reference to devising a plan to
carry the school children to
Charleston, failed last Saturday
on account of the down pour of
rainand we will not make another
attempt to bring them together,
as the time is getting shorter
and the prospeet for some defi
nite action on their part is not at
z 11 encouraging. We have made
every inducement to arouse in
terest in this matter, and in re
turn we get words and letters of
encouragement, but words and
letters do not answer any practi
cal purpose so far as taking the
school children to the Charles
ton and West Indian Exposition
is concerned: what we want
is that they go. We do not care
one rap how they get there, so
they get there. Thus far, we
are not at all encourged with the
prospect of any official action,
and if the childreu ever go it will
depend upon arranging with the
railroads for a special train, the
money to be raised by contribu
tion or the children pay their
own way.
We have already offered to
contribute to a fund to charter a
special train to carry the chil
dren over ten years of age and
we keep the offer good.
Capt. D. W. Alderman was in
,Manning, and in speaking of this
project to take the children to
Charleston he told us that he ap
proved of our efforts and agreed
with our judgement that the
children will be greatly benefited
by such a trip, and kindly offer
ed to help us in anyway he could.
He authorized us to say that if
we succeeded in getting a special
train, he would bring on his
road the Salem children to suit
any schedule made, and would
carry them back on their return
from Charleston free of charge.
We also have a very encourag
ing letter from Capt. Thomas
Wilson president of the North
Western Railroad, which we
herewith publish with the only
comment, that we thank him for
his kind references to ourself.
and hiis generous public spirit:
Cades, S. C., March 24th. 1902.
Hon. Louis Appelt, Manning, S. C.
DEAR Sm:-My attention has been
called to the editorial in your paper of
the 19th inst., regarding staking the
school children of Clarendon county to
the Charleston Exposition. Your ef
forts in this connection are very com
mendable, and I take this opportunity
of congratulating you or your liberality.
in offering to contribute to a fund for
this purpose. A number of the chil
dren now attending the schools in Clar
endon county might never again have
an opportunity of seeing an exhibition
like there is in Charleston now, and I
certainly think that you are entitled to
credit for suggesting that the children
be allowed an opportunity of going to
Charleston. I write you this letter as
I am aware that there are a number of
schoolson the North Western Railroad.
I am desirous of assisting you in your
efforts to give the children a pleasant
trip and I take this opportunity of of
-fering you my assistance in this matter.
I will be very glad to co-operate with
you and will assist you in securing a
'very low rate and obtaining a special.
train for this purpose. I would suggest
that you request the Atlantic Coast
Line to put on an extra car on their
train No.59 between Sumter and Char
leston, if that will be sufficient to ac
commodate the schools from Manning
and Harvin I will run a special train
for this purpose, starting at Paxville
and connecting with the Coast Line at*
Wilsons Mill and will endeavor to bor
row from the Atlantic Coast Line the
number of coaches necessary for this
purpose, if you will advise me about
how many coaches will be required. I
will be pleased to co-operate with you
in your noble work an d render you any
assistance igainy power. I would sug
gest tha~youi take this matter up with
Mr.-H. M. Emerson G. P. A. of the At
lantic Coast Line and advise me as to
the result of your correspondence with
him and I will cheerfully use my in
fluence to get Mr. Emerson to put as
low rate in effect as possible on this oc
casion.
Yours truly,
THOMAS WILSON.
President.
Now, why cannot a few public
spirited citizens of Clarendon
come together and make this
scheme a success. It can be
done and will be done if we will
only give the matter proper con
sideration. There are some pe
ple constantly talking about
furthering educational interests,
and if these people do not take
some active interest in the mat
ter of getting Clarendon's chil
dren to Charleston, then we
shall ever believe their interest
in the children is a lip-service,
and not in response to the dicta
tions of the heart. Fellow citi
zens? here is an opportunity to
lend aid to a worthy cause. This
is an appeal to you to do some
thing which will leave its mark
for good on the rising generation.
This is to urge you to untie your
purse strings and contribute to a
cause for the bettering of the
coming manhood and woman
hood, who are to fill our
places in time. If we can
get sufficient responses we will
not only contribute in cash, but
we will make a .personal appeal
to the railroad authorities for a
In order to save time we would
ask school teachers or trustees
throughout the county to ascer
tain and write to us at once the
information as to how many
children from their section
over ten years of age would
go if a train is secured.
We must have this information
before making the arrangiements.
for a train, in order to know how
many coaches to apply for. Re
member Captain Alderman will
convey the Salem children to
Alcolu, and a schedule will be
arranged on Captain Wilson's
road to Wilsons.
Get us all the information you
can immediately, and we will
make a final effort to accomplish
our purpose.
The chairman of the National
Democratic Executive committee
Senator J. K. Jones, the man.
who Senator John L. McLaurin
refuses to be led by. has been
defeated for re-election in the
Arkansas Democratic primary.
Chairman Jones was made the
leader for the Democracy by the
combined votes of Democrats.
Populists, and Silver Republi
cans, and by his hypritical pro
fessions against corporations,
trusts and combines the party
was twice beaten. Jones and his
versatile political comrades used
their power to discredit Senator
McLaurin with his people, be
cause he has the manhood to fol
low his own honest convictions
and not be carried about in the
vest pocket of .t leader whose
politics' is questionable. Mc
Laurin refused to follow Jones.
and now comes the Democrats of
Arkansas and by their votes in a
Democratic primary refuse to
again follow Jones also. These
white Arkansas Democrats by
their action, confirm McLaurin's
opinion of Jones, and so will the
Democrats in every State, if they
are not buncoed out of the privi
lege of giving an expression. If
our coming primary is free and
fair we will then know what the
people think.

Editor The Manning Times:
In your last issue of THE TIMES, you
invite me to express my views in re
gard to the proposal to annex Fulton
and Calvary townships to Sumter coun
tv. If there is any disposition to do
this by the people of this section. I am
not aware of it. as I have been among
them and conversed with many citizens
of the community since my return from
Columbia. and the subject has not in
any way been referred to by those I
have come in contact with. If the idea
had taken hold seriously in the minds:
of the people, I take it for granted I~
would have heard it discussed or at
least alluded to. For this reason, I
have given the tratter no thought!
whatever, and it wrould not only be
premature, -but under these cir-cum-'
stances, unwise in n.e to agitate a ques
tion I have no reaso2 to think is serious
l considered by the people of thes
townships. I -.ill say however that in
my judgement, should the people ever
bring the propositioa to earnest consid
eration, they should be careful on what;
grounds and for what reasons they
adopt such a step.
Mere sentiment er personal expedi
ency in a movement of such impor
tance as this, should be entirely ignor
ed, and only a necessity arising from
complications beyond their control.
and which they are unable to remove.
would justify such action. The reasons
assigned in a corresoondence I noticed
some weeks ago in tne papers for any
proposed change, were first: that the
railroad facility for going to and from
the county seat was so defective as to
make that kind of transit useless to
those living around here, and in the:
second place. that the highways have
been so neglected by those in authori-;
ty over the chaingang as to make travel
by dirt road both irksome and difficult.
This is undoubtedly so. but I now,
have filed in the otfice of the Railroad:
Commissioners a petition for a better:
schedule which, if acted favorably upon.,
would aire us what is wanted on that
line. It will take some weeks perhaps
to hear from it, but I have hopes that
something will be effected to relieve
the situation. As a matter of course.,
the case of railroad commaunication with
Sumter, turns the tide of trade and!
travel to that city, much of which
would be directed to Mlanning if a bet
ter opportunity of going there was al
lowed us. This fact and consequently
the bringing in touch the people of this
vicinity an.1 Sumter. is no doubt what
has instigated some to advocate a
change, but should relief be given by
the Railroad Commissioners, there
would be no justification on this ground.
I do not pretend to knowv what the peo
ple desire as to a change, but I am con
fident that if the Railroad would give
the citizens of this region such accom
modation as they wish and have a tight
to demand, much of the disquieting
feeling (if any exists) would disappear.
In addition to the imperfect means of!
railroad transit to Manning, I will take'
occasion to say here, that another hard
ship the people of the Western portion
of the county have been subjected to.
and which no doubt they chafe under.
is the very little benefit they have ex
periencedi from the work of the chain
gang of the county. I do not attribute
this blame to any cne individual and
the Supervisor does what he thinks his
duty, in all probability, but there should
be a requirement that the chaingang
shall work in each township of the
county as many days as the mileage of
the public roadls int'ie township would
entitle them to. If the supervisor was
required to visit e'ach township and
perfect the impossible points of the
highways leaving the rest of the road
to be attended to )y those liable to
road duty, it would s;atisfy all sections!
and diseminate the work mor-e equita
bly. The better por-tion of the roads
A Valuable Medicine fo: Coughs and Colds in
Child:-en.
I have not the slighta-t hesitancy in recom
mending Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to all
who are suffering from coughs or colds." says
Chats. Si. Cramer. Esq.. a well known watch
maker of Colombo. Ceylc n. -It has been some
two years since the city dispensary tirst called
my attention to this valuable medicine and I
have repeatedly used it tEnd it has always been
beneficial. It has cured -ne quickly or all chest
colds. It is especially effective for children and,
seldom takes more than one bottle tc cure them
of hoarseness. I have persuaded many to try
this valuable medicine, and they are all as well
pleased as myself over the results." For sale

.ztld be looked after later. The little
6vork lone in this section is a source of:
just complaint by the citizens. who feel
that they have received less henefits
rrom this institution than many other
parts of the countv. Without knowing
as I have said before, that any real de
ire to connect with Sumter county
exists in the townships referred to, I
assume that should there be, the cause.
lavs in the two items I have explained
above. These may not be valid reasons,
but they should be pointed out and
c-onsidered so that a remedy may be
applied before this or any other section
of our county may think it has a grier
adee sutlieient to effect a change so
radical as the one that is said to be in
contemplation.
The splendid work done on the
swamps of Black river, is evidence of'
what can be accomplished by the chain
gang. The people of thic section con
cede that the work there was properly
the first to be attended to. and are as
much satisfied at its completion as those
who enjoy the use of those highways.
Now that this has long since been fin
isbed.we had hoped that before this the
supervisor. would have given his at
tention to roads in other sections of the
county equally dependent on his exer
tions. It is absolutely necessary for
frequent -isits from this official for
more reasons than one. The public
highways have been encrouched upon
in some instances to such an extent
that two vehicles canndt pass each
other without one of them going over
plowed ground. This should be pro
hibited-I mention this matter of de
feetive highways, and dwelt somewhat
on it. because it was assigned as one
reason for the contemplated change,
and with no railroad accommodation.
it is necessary for those going to and
from the county seat to travel across
country. If the people of Manning will
aid in securing a good schedule, our
combined efforts may accomplish much.

Editor The Manning Time.s:
It'll been a good while since I had
time to let you hear from this part of
the world. The fellows around here
ain't making no big blow, but they are
going ahead. scratching for another
crop. I am mighty glad to see that
nearly all the farmers are making bet
ter preparation and are going to fix off
the corn crop better than usual this
year. It takes a year like last year to
bring we wool-hatters to our senses and
if last year's experience in a short corn
crop, and a bad crop year generally
will have the effect of making us plant
more grain and less cotton, it will be a
Cod-send. the greatest blessing we have
had since freedom. And now just look
ahere, Brother Wool-Hatters, let's
make soine corn this year. I know that
bid seasons often cut us out of a full
corn crop, but bad seasons never has
and never will cut us out of as much
corn as the lack of a little manure and
elbow-grease. A crop with plenty of
stuff to it will stand more dry wether,
more wet wether and more of anything
else that can come than a crop without
anything to help it along. As a gen
eral thing we farmers have been just
letting the corn crop take care of itself,
but that won't do any longer. We will
never be worth anything and will al
ways be toating around the tail end of
creation and will always be the dump
ing ground for the Western corn spec
aator if we don't make our own corn.
We can do it Why don't we do it?
Let every farmer take five acres of
good landl, plant it in corn and work
and marnure that one piece of corn every
time it needs it and see what a difer
ence it will make in your corn pile next
fall. Manure all your corn if you can,
but there ain't many that does that, so
that's why I say manure five acres.
There ain't 'a farmer in Clarendon
county but what can make enough corn
to do' him if he will only try right.
Brothers, if we can and won't. what
ought to be done to us? Just let us
alone and don't pass sentence, judge.
them Western fellows 'll do that.
All us farmers is in the same boat
and there ain't one in fifty that will
take good. sound advice, if it's free:
but you just let some smart fellow go
aronnd through the country offering
good advice to farmers and charge a fee
tor it. How many would bite? Every
one that bites ought to .be told. "Go
home, mind your own business and
make plenty of corn."
We have a new enterprise in our com
munity this year in the shape of a large
saw mill plant, plaining mill and dry
k-ill owned by Messrs. D. M. Bradham
& Son. They bought the old Pack
place on the eastern banks of Beer
C'reek and at once proceeded to busi
ness, and business with them fellows
means an enormous quantity of push.
Ain't it wonderful what a good size pile
of push and energy with a little money
scattered along can do. From the way
them fellows is sawing logs, aud scat
tering cotton seed meal and aseid
around, that dead poor old p lace ain't
going to be a "dead poor" place much
longer. Listen out for a new town by
the name of "Bradhamville" to be in
corporated in the next legislature. If
Jim Tillman ain't "in it" who is?

The Tall Gentleman.
A Frenchman visiting a fashionable
concert garden in St. Petersburg some
years ago szopped a passing Russian
officer and asked for a light for his
cigar, which had gone out. The officer,
after a moment's hesitation, handed his
own cigar to the Frenchman and look
ed on with a smile of resignation at the
latter's frantic efforts to get a light.
"You are French. I believe?" said the
officer.
"Not only French. but from Tou

"Is this your first visit to Russia?"
"Yes."

not salute the tall gentleman in uni

Better Than Pills.
Thc question has been asked. - In what way
are Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets
;uperior to pills?" Our answer is: They are
easier and more pleasant to take. more mild and
zentle in effect and more reliable as they can
lways be depended upon. Then they cleanse
and invigorate the stomach and leave the bow
3ls in a natural condition, while pills are more
darsh in effect and their use is often followed by
onstipation. For sale by The R. B. Loryea

Railroading Terms.
Railroading terms In England and
America differ very widely. The Eng
Ulsh would speak of shunting a train.
We call it switching. Freight trains
they call goods trains, conches are car
riages, conductors are guards, engi
neers are drivers, trucks are boggles
and freight cars are wagons. The
British always say station instead of
depot, and In that they have the bet
ter of us. Rails they call metals and
tracks permanent ways. They do not
get their tickets at a ticket office, but
at a booking office, and the smokestack
of the locomotive is to them the chim
ney. A railroad man going from one
country to the other finds that he has
to learn an entirely new set of phrases

The bite even of the largest chame
leon does not fetch blood, though the
teeth leave indentations. I often, says
a naturalist, provoke them to bite me
in order to observe their habits, and
only ~once, when one caught me be
tween the fingers where the skin is
tender, was I really hurt. On this oc
casion the thing held on so persistently
and firmly that I could not for some
time free my finger. At last I was
obliged to call some one to get it off by
forcibly opening its mouth. Even then
it did,not pierce the skin. Its teeth are
too fine and regular, but the dotted
triangular impression of the little teeth
was very red and distinct for some
minutes.
