The railroad pepe are mis taken about this for te reason that heretofore our merchants held their otton in the store lots until they were ready to ship or sell, and this fre uently was for a week or more, thus relieving the depot platform from rowding, but with a public weigher, the cotton is taken direct to the rail road. We hope our merchants will in-1 terest themselves in this matter and in duce the railroad to give sufficient fa ilities for the handling of cotton. The public weighing system while satisfac tory at other points, will be entirely an experiment here, therefore to give it a fair trial there should be on ob structions in its way. Court. - The sumlmer term opened last Mon day morning with His Honor Judge A.~P. Aldrich p residing, Solicitor Jno. S. Wilson and Stenographer R. D. Lathan at their posts, and notwith standing the day being a legal holiday1 Judge Aldrich was anxious to proceed with ,business if counsel interested would consent. Solicitor Wilson al ways scrupulously careful in the per formance of his duty was unwilling to gve out indictments in the homicide cases, but consented to have the wit nesses in the minor cases called. To the crier's call there were but few re sponses, and there was nothing to be done but adjourn, until Tuesday morn ing. At the reconvening of court yes terday, the attendance was large, many drawn hither by a morbid ouriosity to ear a sensational case that rumor had it would be tried. The case tried and which took up the whole of yesterday was against R. Lee Logan, and Ida Irene Bagnal. charged1 with adultry. The details of this de-1 plorable lease was disgustingly nau seating, and it is to be hoped that Clarendon's court. house will never again have such a spectacle. The de fense was represented by Capt. W. C. Davis; the case was given to the jury about'7 o'clock last evening with in structions from the judge, if they agreed upon a verdict to bring it into ourt at 9 o'clock in the morning, but they tussled with the case all night, and it was not until after sun rise this morning that they agreed. When court convened this morninzr the sealed verdict was opened and pub lished "not guilty." The case against Jesse Nelson for striking Mrs. Alfred Setzer was found 1 guilty. The case against Forest Col lins. murder, has just begun. The You mans case will be commenced in the morning. The following true bills have been brought in: State vs. Simeon M. Youmans, mur State vs. Forrest L. Collins, murder. State vs. Thomas Cantey, house breaking and larceny. State vs. ;Jesse Nelson, assault and battery with intent to kill.

Rrle ur Job Work to The Times office I There is a movement on foot to es tablish in the town of Manning a bonded warehouse for cotton. The purpose be ing, we are told. to permit farmers to deposit their cotton. and the bonded company will issue to them a certificate upon which they can arrange with the i banks to advance them money, say 500 or 75 per cent of the then market value - for a stipulated length of time. This arrangement would place the farmers in a position to hold cotton if they de- ] sired, in the hands of a company under * bond for its safe delivery. In the State e of Georgia such warehouses are common and they are said to work very satisfac torily. An institution bonded to take care of,'and advance money on cotton can also arrange to market the product in such a manner as to prevent crowd- I ing the marketand in this way have an f, influence upon the price. Should this ti bonded warehouse scheme materialize the farmers' association can find use ful employment in fostering it, and through the association Clarendon can have cotton selling days, when cotton j in such quantities can be offered as to induce buyers from all about to come here and actively bid for it. If it be- s ame known to buyers that on a certain in day a thousand bales of cotton would be m sofd, every mill in the country, and c every exporter at Norfolk,Wilmington, nd Savannah, Charleston and other ports c. would send their buyers here and the 04 ompetition among these buyers would ' make Manning market to attract cotton M From all over this and adjoining coun ties. p, Beare Th3 Kind You Have Always Bought s SignatI be of c< tr Manning Never Losses. d The Manning base ball team scored i.nother victory.
