They are adding fuel to the flames of dissatisfac tion by their inconsistency in ap pealing to a court that but a short t'me ago they were con[ demning in no mild terms. The result to follow these desperate attempts to crush the people's will, can only be to precipitate legislation that which kill the dis pensary with one swell swoop. and it will not surprise us if the next session of the general. as sembly takes this step ' as the best solution of a problem badly muddled by short-sighted poli ticians. N. W. Brooker. former agent for the sinking fund commission, makes the startling statement that in the discharge of his du ties, he discovered apd reported shortages in various counties in the State, the reports showed shortages and defalcations in sev eral, and be was dropped be cause, according to one of the commission, he "was raising too much hell in South Carolina." We remember Mr. Brooker's re port, which included Clarendon County in the tax execution shortage class, nothing was ever done about it, but if Mr. Brooker tells the truth, perhaps the com mission had good reason to fear the raising of "raising too much hell in SouthCarolina. "Had more "hell" been raised a few years ago, the State would not now be scoffed at as one of the most rotten in the Union. New Zion Dots. Speclal to The Manning Times. Miss Gregory of Branchville has taken charge of the Baker school. Miss Gaskin of St. Alatthews is now the principal of the Wheeler school. Miss Broadway of Pinewood is teach ing in the Buddin school. Miss Minnie Turbeville of Turbeville passed through our section a few days ago, Lawyer Woods of Manning was over here recently. He seems to be getting a large portion of the professional work of this section. The people of this section are in thorough accord with THE TIMES edi torials relating to getting the mer chants of Mamning to induce the Alcolu railroad to that town. Merchants of Manning you had better beed the good counsel of THE TIMEs editor. The Aldermans with their pluck and enter prise have already benefitted' Salem and if Manning is alive to its own best interests, the business men of that place should lose no time in conferring with "Old Pa" and induce him to run his road straight into our county seat. This road will takc more trade into Manning from Salem than is now being cut off fromn that town by. the rapidly growing town of Summerton. We Salemites like Mannin~r. aud prefer doing our tradinug there, but some of the hindrances are poor roads and no railroad facilities all of which can be remedied if the proper steps are taken. B. A Daredevil Ride. often ends in a sad accider.t. To heal accidental injuries, usc Bucklen's Ar nica Salve. " A deep wound in my foot from an accident," writes Theodore Schuele, of Columbus. Ohio., "caused me great pain. Physicians were help less, but Bucklen's Arnica Salve tuick ly healed it. Soothes and heals burns like magic. 253c at The R1. B. Loryea Drug Store. Hold Your Cotton for Higher Prices. Because, it is worth 11 cents or mor& Because. it is hound to sell at much higher prices: Because. the man who makes the cotton should help to make the price! Because, trade is broad and strong, and record-breaking as to textiles: Because, the mills are making money on basis of 31 cents and 12 cents cotton: Because, the world needs every bale. and will take it greedily at 11 cents if we hold firm: Because, we are no longer slaves to the North. but a free people, with our banks full of money, and the merchants and hankers at ourbhacks! Because, we live in arecord-breaking age, and the present cotton crop, which has matured and opened unusually early, will be found to be very short, when the world-wide and unprecedent ed demand for cotton .goods is consid ecaue, the farmer needs the money and deserves it more than the specula tor. Because, money don't buy as much as formerly! Because, everything the farmer buys has gone up in price, why not cotton? Because, the Southern Cotton Asso ciation has fixed the price for good cotton at 11 cents, and this Association is fighting our battle, and has put mil lions of dollars in the pockets of South ern people! Because, we should be true to the Southern manhood and tbe Southland! Because, if we show the white feath er and sell, we will feel like kicking ourselves out of sight, when cotton is selling at 11 cents to 12 1:2 cents per pound. Stand pat for 11 cents: E. D. HODGE, President Clarendon Cotton Associa tion. Letter to Manning Doctors. Dear Sir: For your house, no matter what's the matter with it-it isn't a human you know-a prescription: Devoe lead-and-zinc. Apply with a brush, from one to three coats-get a p~ainter to do it. Seven state chemists know all about Devoe; have analyzed it; report it pure; will analyze it occassionally. They buy it in the open market whenever they like. You know what the color and dryer are jor; do you know what the Jead-and zinc and oil are forY Not being a pain ter, you may not choose to know, but we'll tell you. Lead-and-zinc and oil combine to form a r-ubbery waterproof coat to keep dampness. That's the whole business. The oil would do it alone; lead-and oil would do it. without the zinc: zine and oil without the lead: but the three together are best. because they wear best. We say to you. "get a vainter." as we'd say to him " get a doctor"-cvery man to his trade. Can't all be painters and doctors: don't want to. You wvill be more successful in a p~rosperous looking house: and he in good health. Take good care of one another. Your truly, 71 F. W. DEVoE & Co. P. S. Manning Hardware Co. sell our naint.
