Manning, Paxville, summeiton and White clubs were not epresented. The meeting was harmonious and atters were freely discussed looking D the good of the party and carrying ut a fair primary election. A resolution was passed instructing he county chairman to call together he secretaries of the various clubs hroughout the county to meet in their espective sections, ten days before the rimary election, and revise their club ols, cutting out all names that are on ore than one roll. so that there can e no chance of members of clubs vot ag in any club but the one in which heir names are regularly enrolled. A communication was read from the tate chairman saying that under a esolution by the State committee the ounty commitee could not put assess 2ents on candidates for State offices. olicitor and Congress. The committee iscussed very freely the matter of as essing the candidate for Congress, nd were unanimous in the opinion bat if Charleston could assess all can idates for Congress in this district 500. the other counties in the district ad the same right. They thought bat it was simply a plan on the part f Charleston to put the assessment so igh that no candidate outside of the ity would pay it, and thus all candi ates from other counties in the dis riet would be shut out and Charleston ould always get the Congressman. ,ome members thought that this was nly a bluff on the part of Charleston nd that Congressman Legare really id not pay the full amount of $500. but s one member expressed it "if M1r. iegare is going to come in the game It him anti", and the committee laced an assessment of $500. on 'Mr. egare anyhow, while he may have ae pleasure of paying or refusing to av. 'i'he committee then levied the fol )wing assessments on the other candi ates: Clerk of Court $15, Sheriff $10 [ouse of Representatives $5, County 'reasurer $10, County Auditor $10, uperintendent of Education 5, County upervisor $10, Coroner $2, Magistrate t Manning $5, all other Magistrates S2 ach, Solicitor 35. agistrates were placed in the rimary and the same clubs which oted for respective Magistrates two ears ago will do so again.

Summerton, SA Word About Furniture~ Some dealers think all that is necessary to sell Furniture is Sto get some warehouse and store it way up in the garret, and when a customer buys some to deliver it in a haphazard way by the porter or some one in thme store that knows as much about Sfurniture as a butcher knows abour chemistry. When you get home with that furniture you find everything fits like paper on a barbed wire-fence. in our store none but competent men in this line are em ployed--men who have made furniture with their own hands from the rough board to a piago finish, men who have worked in Sthe factories of this country and abroad and know furniture from A to Z. Our Furniture is kept clean, always in good condition, fitted Sup solid and matched up in finish. So by buying fronm us you are assured of getting every'thing in good shape. We have been through the factories for the last three weeks Svisiting the St. Louis, Chicago, Nashville and Atlanta furniture exchanges and bought Furniture by personally selecting the best that is made for the money, and knowing the furniture that has _been sold in Manning for years we can with certainty assure our Spatrons that never in the history of Manning had they the op Sportunity of buying furniture of the higher grades for as little money as we can do. We pride ourselves as to QUALITY, and defy competition as to ;uantity. S Dont be misled, and when you need Furniture, Carpets, Mat ting, Rugs, Window Shades and Drapery, Crockery or Sewimg Machines, inquire for IS..LKR A SNOFF] p THE FURNITURE MAN.
