[1ditor The Manning- Times: The Columbia correspondent of t1 >cws and Courier reminds the vote >f South Carolina that "There are : 3tate otlicers going before the peo: ,vith important issues, and no issu :iave so far been presented to the pe )le." The correspondent thinks, thoug Ihat "there are two issues that ou-f o be discassed from every stump," ai hat- the two issues are "Biennial Se ions" of the Legislature and tl ,Brice Dispensary Bill." and he thin It would be a great pity if the cai >aign should continue to go by witho he candidates for the General Asser 3ly calling attention to these issue;. al etting the people understand the sit ition as to these two matters. Biennial sessions is a Constitution Lmendment that was passed at the li ;ession of the Legislature and tb Lmendment provides that after ti egislative session of 1906 the Legislv wre of South Carolina will meet bie ally instead of annually. Biennial or annual sessions of tl Lislature will be the question for ti roters of South Carolina to settle at ti >allot box at the general election th vi be held on the first Tuesday follo ng the first Monday in November nex nd not at the coming primary electi< LS some may think. If a majority of the votes cast at sa ection is for biennial sessions of t" egislature, then the Legislature wi neet once in every two years. If najority of the votes is against bienni essions, then the Legislature will co inue its custom of meeting in annu essions. As a member of the General Asser lv of the sessions of 1899 and 1900, v -oted against the act providing for tI onstitutional amendment, and at ti eneral election we will vote again iennial sessions of the Legislature f< south Carolina. Tbe Constitution of South CaroLin rticle I., Section 3, advises that "TlI eneral Assembly ought frequently 1 assemble for the redress of grievancE nd for making new laws, as the con non good may require.", The article and section of the Const ution quoted furnishes the best amon nany other good reasons why a depar tre of the State fron annual sessions ( ts Legislature should never be vote or. for two years is a long time, ight be, to have to submit to a grie us legislative wrong and injustice. The supporters of biennial session laim that it will be a very economic easure and will save to the taxpayei aany thousands of dollars a year. If we could be assured that extra se ions of the Legislature would never b onvened, then we might believe tha iennial sessions of the Legislatut ould prove financially beneficial 1 he taxpayers of South Carolina. Unt ce are assured of this fact we will sti e opposed to biennial legislative se ions for South Carolina. Georgia, the Empire State of tt south, has been referred to as a mod tate for biennial legislative session nd its action one worthy of adoptior reorgia can no longer be pointed out a State of biennial legislative session Dr biennial sessions expired in Georgi a the month of July orAugust, 190: nd in July, 1904., we find the legislativ dy of the "model State" of Georgi a annual session. We believe the three members to th louse of Representatives from ClareE on in the sessions of 1899 and 39( oted against biennial sessions. Ho he delegation in the House of Repr< enttives from Clarendon voted on th 2easure in the sessions of 1901--2 m annot now recall, but we are quit ure the House delegation from Claret on in' the sessions of 1903-4 vote gainst biennial sessions of the Legia .ture. The question we have been touchin is one that is to be decided by thn oters of the State at the next genert lection and what we have written re tie to the question that is to be d< ided has not been written for the put ose of influencing a single voter, bt > let the voters of Clarendon kno bat we do not believe that the depar re would be a wise one, or that thn eautiful expectations of financial gai ill ever be realized.' The correspondent further says The other question on which thn iasses ought to be informed and o hich there should be an expression< pinion on the part of all candidates fc he General Assembly, whether for thn ouse- or Senate, is upon the Brice Di: ensary bill. Briefly stated, the "Brice Dispensar 'ill " provides. " That when a peopl o longer wanted the dispensary sy: em, or it was a jeopardy to the peac nd good order, they could vote it or f the county. If upon a vote of thn eople the dispensary was no longe ;anted, then the machinery was pr< ided in the Act for its removaL Tho, ;ho advocate the Brice bill insist tht is simply home and self-governmen 'he fight will no doubt be again mad t the next session of the General A embly, and every member of the Ger ral Assembly ought, before the pe< le, to say how he stands upon th: easure, and whether he thinks eac ounty ought to regulate its own liquc fairs. or whether it ought to be tate matter. and what applies to on ounty must apply to all, and if the dii ensaries be in vogue in one count bey must be forced on every othe ou'nty in the State, and that the ste prohibition that was promised ca ever be taken, unless the people sto uying liqucr, as the dispensaries onc ceing opened are never to be closed. "The bill wa cleverly amended by th riends of the dispensary so as to part 'ze it and practically make it a den tter. The law as passed now says if ounty is disgusted with the dispensar ad no longer wants it for any reasot can vote it out of the county, bun ith a big B if it no longer wants thn ispensary it must pay a stated tax upo 1 property in the county for that pri~ Lege. This tax, it is allegerd, is for thn urpose of maintaining the constabi iry force in the county after the di ensary is removed, it was a cleve iee of- legislation on the part of th ispensary advocates. They argue hat without this tax feature, if comn ies could vote the dispensaries out< heir borders, it would be the means< reaking the backbone of the dispet ary, as the profit making countie ;ould perhaps vote the system out< heir borders. As matters now stant ithout paying a special tax for tbn rivilege no county once having a di ensary can get rid of it accordingt .w. Saluda petitioned for the closin f its dispensary, but the board said ould not be done according to law." We have divided correspondent aragraph on the "Brice dispensat ill " into two paragraphs for a bette .nderstanding of the same by the rea< rs the candidates for legislative hot *rs and the public generally. The lirst p)aragraph gives the bill: tpassed the Senate and corresporn nt's explanation of the same.

Perfectly at Home In a Temperature Below the Zero Mark. When cold storage was first intro duced into this country the chilly stor age rooms were absolutely free from rats and mice. The temperature was kept considerably below the freezing point, and in the cold surroundings rats and mice were unable to live. In time, 'however, the rich stores packed away there proved too tempt ing for thieving rodents. and they be gan to make inroads into the cold stor age rooms, at first paying a hurried call and as soon as they had taken a 'ew nibbles rushing with a shiver out into warmer places. Gradually, however, these visits were lengthened and became more frequent, ot without considerable mortality among the rats, but in the end there grew into being what is known as the "cold storage rat" This animal has neither tail nor ears, both having been frozen for his ancestors, resulting In their total loss to the families of the rst intrepid pirates of cold storage. These earless and tailless cold storage rats are perfectly at home in a temper ature below the zero m#rk. This, I think, is one of the most striking ex imples of how the animal kingdom In the wise economy of nature can adapt Itself to the most severe surroundings. -Atlanta Constitution. SAVINGS BANKS. They Were First suggested In' 1G7 by Daniel Defoe. Primitive savings banks were bfound ed at Hamburg in 1778 and at Berne in 1787, the idea having been suggested by Daniel Defoe in 1097. Francis Mas seres proposed in 1771 to confer upon the ratepayers of any English parish powers to receive and invest savings and to grant deferred annuities, but a bill to this effect failed to pass through parliament. The first practical at tempts were on a small and tentative scale. A children's bank was started by Mrs. Priscilla Wakefield at Totten iam in 1798. The Rev. J. Smith of Andover, with two friends, agreed in 1790 to receive small sums from his parishioners dur ing the summer, to be returned with a 3ne-third bounty at Christmas, a lib eral offer which was eagerly embraced. The title of "Father of Savings Banks" has been given, however, to the Etev. H. Duncan of Ruthwell, Dum rriesshire, who established a saarings bank in 1810 on so successful a basis that in four years it possessed an accU mulated fund of E,160. Acts to encourage savings banks in England and Ireland were passed in L817 and were extended to Scotlandlin L835.-Pearson's. PROLIFIC INSECTS. The Termnites, or White Ants, Are the Greatest Egg Layers. There is infinite variety in the num ber of eggs laid by different animals, Lhe general rule being that those high est in the scale of life are least prolific Among vertebrates fish are the most rolfc. Trout and salmon average ,000 eggs to every, pound of weight. Buckland reckoned 'the roe of a half pound herring at 19,840, of an eight pound turbot at 383000 and of a thirty ound cod at 5,000$00, while the stur ;eon has miore than a third of its weight ready for the toothsome carviare. Mollusks vary in their powers of re production from thirty to fifty at a time in snails, to the thousands of the whelk, while the, spat of some reaches 2,000,000. It is among insects that stu endous numbers appear, reaching a limaX 'in the termites, or 'white ants. rhe queens of these are egg laying machines of the most astonishing fe undity.

"When I see men or women looking R for nothing but fat on a fowl," said a marketinan, "I don't envy them their dinner. There is a layer of- fat under neath the skin when poultry is unduly fattened, and in the cooking this over heated fat saturates the meat, and de eate stomachs have a hard tussle. This 0 is why lots of people can't eat ducks and geese at all. These overfattened fowls arc in reality more expensive and less easily digested, there being much less lean meat in proportion to the fat. Most of my customers are now willing to pay what a good turkey is worth, understanding the difference. What is the difference? Why, there are a few rules that must be observed. For at least six days before killing barnyard fowls must be cooped, not huddled, have a good, clean space and be well fed on corn for at least five days. Then for twenty-four hours before killing they should be fed on skimmed milk or soft boiled rice. The night before the killing the turkey must have plenty of water, but no ~ food, which leaves the crop empty, the intestines clean, the dark meat quite light, and gives a flavor as different as 0 possible from the offensive flavor that is likely to impregnate the common fowl killed in the common way. The flesh of all animals is flavored by their food. This accounts for the delicious - flavor of the canvasback and redhead ducks. Both eat of the wild celery at the water's edge, the former taking the roots, the latter the tops."-Philadel- 4 phia Record. LABRADOR. It Is a Picturesque Country With Many Great Waterfals. Labrador externally is forbidding and discouraging. She is not all moss covered rock, however. From a scenic - point of view she has something to - offer that will interest the world. Un- C fortunately it is possible to reach the = country by water during only four - months of the year. Dog sledges and snowshoes are the medium of travel the remainder of the year. There ~are no roads. The interior of Labrador has been found to be tableland, about 1,500 feet above sea level, the foothills of which reach down to the Atlantic coast Piercing these foothills at intervals along the 700 miles of coast line are deep inlets, some of which resemble 6 Norwegian fiords. Of these perhaps the most picturesque is Nachrach bay, 1,100 miles north of St. John's. It is a mile or more wide and twenty - miles . long. Great shouldering cliffs, more than 1,500 feet high, jut out into the j water on either side, glistening cas- ; cades tumble over their sides, and mys- 2;: tifying sea caverns lure one to explore C them. Fifteen miles from the mouth is a waterfall of tremendous height. Its altitude has been'variously stimated - at from 400 to 600 feet. Tumbling over the edge of the cliff in a cascade, it takes this great leap and then dashes along on its foamy way dowvn several hundred feet until it drops into the bay. This is by no means the largest waterfall in the country.--New York Tribune. Th e Camel .Raid. Camels in Somnaliland are kept in great herds sometimes numbering S0, 000.

Now some people believe that a trust manufacturer or mer cautile concern (or department store as some call it) can compete and sell cheaper than an independent merchant, and there is where they are mistaken, believing the assertion of the trust, thatr by concentrating many branches of business -under one management their expenses are reduced and they can sell cheaper, but if you consider that they have to hire men and 0 women for everything done and pay for a thousand things NOT DONE, you will find that the man rinning his own business not having to pay large salaries for managers, clerks, etc., and at tending to every detail himself, can outsell any trust on the face of the earth, and no department store can touch him. Look out for trusts and do your business with the plain man you know. S. L. K0R A SNOFF, THE FURNITURE MAN. -7 ice Cream Freezers. Ice cream freezers have not always been the marvelous machines 2 that they are today. In former times the freezing of cream, sherbets, . water ices, etc., was accomplished with no end of labor and expense. . so much so that the serving of these delightful dishes was looked a upon as quite an event in the family circle, and on many occasions a parental authority had to be asserted to keep the younger members 3 of the family within bounds. Today, with cheap ice and persect freezers nothing is more com mon than the serving of frozen dishes which not only appeal to our : sense of taste, but the cheapness by which they can be made render - them them dessirable. Foremost among the Freezers of today is the "Arctic," which : will in from seven to ten minutes freeze to uniform hardness, cream : of even grain and perfect smoothness. They are made in sizes from _ one to ten quarts and are strong and durable in every way. Booklet Z accompanies each freezer which tells how to make all kinds of nice things at small cost.
