In sending in communications for publication, the writers will have to write on single sheets and number them so the printers can handle them. Coffey & Rigby certainly have a nice lot of horses and mules. They sold one last week to a colored) farmer for $240 cash, and it was cheap at that price. The Southern All Star Vaudvillee Show came last Thursday, gave a bum show, had trouble with the authorities about license and left we hope for good. Married this morning at Bishopville, Mr. H. A. Richbourg of Summerton and Miss Carrie Shuford of Bishopville. The couple will make their home in Summerton. There will be a hot supper given at Workman X Roads Friday night Dec ember 11, for the benefit of the Work man Methodist church. The public is cordially invited. Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets are becoming a favorite for stomach troubles and consipation. For sale by The R. B. Loryea Daug Store, Isaac M. Loryea, Prop. Invitation cards have been sent out announcing the coming marriage of Dr. C. F. Williams of Columbia, and Miss May P. Wilson of Mannmng to take place December 8th. Our Thanksgiving turkeys have come' on schedule time. Mr. James A. Bur gess of Foreston fetched us one, and Mir. W. H. Gaillard of DuRant another.I These be good Samaritans. There is an impression abroad that the invitations for the Thanksgiving dance were printed and sent out on Sunday. The invitations were printed in this omece, and were mailed in the postoffice on Saturday. Married last Thursday at the home of the bride's parents. near Sumter, Mr. George A. Cochran, and M1iss Emmie Singleton, a daughter of Mr. John W. Singleton, Rev. J. D. Hug gins of Paxville performed the cere mony. Our readers ought to see .Rigby's stock of clothing. He carries the famous "Schloss Bros" goods, noted the world over for their perfect fitting, and durability. It will pay any one wanting a suit of clothes to look at Rigby's. Read Jenkinson's half page advertis ment in this issue. Jenkinson, cramped as he is for room, is determined not to let his trEade get away from him, and to hold his customers he has made extra! efforts to get in a good stock, to sell at~ inducing prices. The farmers clubs should now hold meetings to combine in the purchase of fertilizers. Every club in the county by combining their means can save, at least 82i.00 per ton, and in our opinion the sooner they get together, appoint one of their number to correspond with fertilizer concerns the quicker will they be in a position to have such in formnation which will save a great deal of money, and we suggest the president of each club call a meeting immediate ly to consider this matter. We cannot understand why it is, but complaints are constantly reaching us about subscribers not gettmng their paper regularly. THE TDiES is sent from here every week with systematic regularity, and if a package of papers reaches a postoffice then every sub scriber, who has not been cut off for non-payment, should get the paper. It frequently happens that some neighbor gets the paper and fails to deliver it. and then again the paper sometimes gets into the hands of a sucker who -hangs about a postoffice to beat his reading matter. We try hard to have our paper reach those who are honestly entitled to it, but with all we can do, the dead-beat and sucker will get ahead of us. Tomorrow Hell Hole will be explored by a party of experienced hunters from Clarendon. Whit Plowden was in town yesterday telling us about the trip. 'He says the camp will be at Plantersville in Berkley county and the party will consist of E. R. Plowden, W. M1. Plowden. H. A. Plowden, G. M. PlowdenA.P.BurgessDr.G.L.Dickson, W.E.Daniels,several jugs dogs and other paraphernalia for a first class hunt. Old Whit is very enthusiastic over the prospect of a good time, and his refer ence to what the party will carry along brought a glisten to his eyes that ,we could imagine seeing him astride of a spirited jug in Hell Hole swamp, and as e raises it up hear the gluck, gluck, luck which follows such a move ment when elders, deacons and laymen are out on a camp .hunt with brother Whit as commnissar i. If this party dont bring us some of the spoils of the hunt we will tell all about the bottle in the empty flour barrel which took several men to lift from the wagon on returning home from a former hunt. WANTED-Faithful person to call on retail trade and agents for manufactur ing house having well established busi ness; local territory; straight salary $20 paid weekly and expense money; previ ous experience unnecessary; position permanent; previous experience unnec essary: position permanent: ousiness successful. Enclose self-addressed en velope. Superintendent Travelers, 605 nn Rldg. Chicago. Councilmen, Reconsider. At a recent meeting of council it was decided to reduce the police force to two men, increase their salaries, and employ a lamp lighter. So far as the increasing of salaries is concerned we think that all right, and we think the same about the lamp lighter, but we do not think it wise to cut down the police force. Two men cannot do full justice to the townand to leave the town at this season of the year, when their is cotton in the yards without proper police pro tection is in our judgment penny wise and pound foolish. We are not advo cating the retention of any particular member of the force, but we hope council will reconsider cutting down the number. It is absolutely necessary to have a noticeman at the night trains, and while he is down there the other parts of town are without protection, and then again, the business part of the town is not all that is in need of police protection, while one man is guarding the stores there ought to be another in other parts of the town, and both on the look out to give aid in case of an emergency. No gentleman, do not reduce the force, Manning needs two night police man., we would rather have no day police at all, rather than be without two police at night. If the man about to be dismissed is not giving satisfac tion, other men will be glad to get the place, but so far as we have been able to observe Policeman Thames makes a good officer; this however, is entirely a matter for the council's discretion, they alone are to judge whether a man is giving satisfaction, but we do say, taxpayers have a right to make known the fact that they do not think the town will be properly policed at night with only one policeman on duty. As we said before we have no objections to raising salaries or the clothing council proposes to buy for the police; these men have bitter weather to contend with and the pay is not too much. We believe in good pay. but when we give good pay then we want good service. "Fewer Gallons; Wears Lorger." The secret is out and Manning can ,o on living just as if the riddle had never been asked. No, it can't, either. Manning is not going to be what it was before. It; houses are zoing to be brighter; its people a little more prosperous-they are going to have some of their money left to buy other things with. The answer to the riddle is this; you can paint a building with fewer gallons of Devoe Lead and Zinc paint than with mixed paints. and it will wear several times as long as a building painted with lead and oil mixed by hand. Ther's proof abundant of it all over the United States. There will soon be proof abundant of it in Manning. What will people do with the rest of their money? Installation of Rev. J. M. Holladay. On last Thursday the Presbytery of Harmony met in Manning Presbyterian church for the purpose of receiving Rev. J. M. Holladay into its member ship, and to install him Pastor of that church. The Moderator of the Pres bytery, Rev. W. S. Porter, presided and preached a sermon of power and one most appropriate to the occasion. The Rev. James McDowell propounded the constitutional questions. The Rev. J. F. Stephenson then gave a charge to 1 the Pastor. a charge which had been thoroughly prepared and a model of its kind. He was followed by Rev. N.-W.3 Edmunds, D. D., of Sumter who gave the charge to the people. His charge was full of sound practical advice, well elivered, and the congregation will-slo well to heed it. The service was then oncluded by a tender prayer offered by Mr. McDowell. The whole service was very interest ng and solemn. It was a great pleas re to the members of the Manning] hurch to have these brethren with< them, and also other members of the Presbytery in the Eldership and minis- 1 ry. Mr. McDowell was warmly greet by old friends, and it gave the church genuine pleasure to have him present and take a part in these interesting services. Notice to Confederate Veterans. The Confederate Veterans of Claren don county will please assemble at the court house in Manning on Monday, 14th of December next at 12 o'clock for the purpose of electing a Pension Board for the ensuing year, and attend to such other matters that may come before them. Harry Benbow Camp is hereby invited to meet with us, so that we may act in harmony in raising the amount recuested of us to build monument to our beloved Hampton, and to organize a Chapter of.Daughters and such other matters as may be deemed important. Let us have a large gathering on that day. D. J. BRADHAM. Chairman B. P. A. J. RICHBOURG, Pension Commissioners C. C. Manning, S. C., Nov. 20, 1903.

Q.,'' and inquiry as elicited the information that o instructions have as yet been iven the police. The TIMES' anti :le meets with the endorsement and ~pproval of every decent citizen of lanning, and why no instructions are iven the police to drive out this pest eeds an explanation. Surely those in ontrol of our town can have no motive or withholding instruct~ions to the po ice to drive these nasty strumpets from >ur town. Let us attribute the silence >f council to pressing rivate business hat makes them overlook a matter hich appeals to decency, good order. Lud the general welfare. Mr. Editor, as a taxpayer with the own's interests at heart I commend' rou in your efforts to uphold decency in >ur town, which be it said to its ever asting credit had a reputation for :lean living until within the past few nonths when scandalous rumors have eaked out. The nuisance our council's ttention was directed to by you is such L fagrant outrage that like yourself, I 2ad hoped it would be acted upon with >ut any suggestions in the public >rints. It was not acted upon however, ind my information is no action has as vet be'en taken. Why? A member of council informed the writer that action would be taken im mediately when his attention was :alled to your article, but for some rea son the police who I am sure will do their full duty have received no orders. Why? Indifference to such matters is a reection upon the authorities and I hope for their sakes they will act with ~ut dlay.TAXPAYER. To Close Thanksgiving Day.

The dif liculty of finding precisely the right things at suit able prices is a real dificulty that cannot be en tirely removed. But we are sure the difficulty can be and often is increased by two errors. First, by not inspecting holiday goods early enough; second, by not seeking them in the right place. By carefully looking at goods while stocks are complete you get ideas and impressions which will make the final choosing easy. By seeking n the right place you get not only the ideas but reduce cost to the lowest fig ures. We have a somewhat definite idea that our store is the right place to find what you want and to save money this season.- We assure you that we gave the selection of holiday goods long and care ful thought. We kept quality in mind, we sought novelty as well, and we used our utmost endeav ors in securing the lowest possible prices. We have exercised our years of experience in holiday buying for your benefit. Our goods are worthy and we have a lot of them. We feel we can be of actual help to you. We want you to come and see the goods early and as often as you can. Rhame's Drug Store. ARRIVAL OF HOLIDAY PERFUMES.
