Charles Inglesby, secre tary of the grand lodge of ma son s, died in Columbia last Mon day. - The Greenwood Index of last week --appeared with twenty nages of well edited and beauti fully printed matter. The bus iness interests of Greenwood can feel thoroughly protected by a newspaper like the Index, and that it is appreciated by the bus iness men there, is attested by the well displayed advertisments. Within the past twelve months the Times subscription lists have increased over 25 per cent, and since it has come under the pres ent management it has quadrup led subscription lists,and large ly increased its advertising pa tronage. Our new job press is in the depot now, and in a few days we will be in position to do all work offered us. The death of Attorney Gen eral U. X. Gunter, will be felt all over the State where the de ceased had many friends. It was our proud privilege to enjoy his friendship, and we knew no young man in South Carolina with a briggter future, nor one more worthily meriting the peo ple's confidence and esteem. He was an honor to his State and country. Our municipal . election has been ordered by council, and as there are no special issues in volved, we doubt very much if there will be any opposition, ex cept possibly, a slight change in the personnel of the Alderman. Tnis council has given general satisfaction, so far as we know; the only complaint we have heard and really that was not in the nature of a complaint, is the fact of council. not having pub lished it e mi ze.d quarterly or monthly reports of the receipts and disbursements, and no op -portunity has been given for tax payers who are not members of ,council to share in the work for the town. The railroad bill in the United States senate has about monop olized all federal legislation, and Senator Tillman,. op to date has certainly exhibited a leadership which is bringing to him favor able commnent,even from the Re publicans, It is true that the measure represented by him or iginated, or rather is endorsed by a Republican president, and a Republican majority is in the senate, but notwithstanding this, the Republican senators are not unanimously supporting it. There is much division among them, and the same might also be said of the Democrats. The senators, regardless of party who are in terested in the railroads are op posed to Senator Tillman's bill, and he will have a long and hard fight to succeed. The outlook now is that the rate bill will be so emasculated with amendments which will make it practically worthless, and it will require much parliamentary astuteness on the part of Senator Tillman to nrevent this. If Tillman can succeed in get ting his bill enacted into law, in our opinion he will have merited such a national reputation as to entitle him to high considei-ation from the next national demn oc-ratic convention. Because any man with the ability to make a successfwl fight against the pow erful railroad interests, by his own individual force makes - himj a national figure to be reckoned with. __ South Carolina as She Was. There was a time, long ago, and still within the recollection of some old men now living when the courts of South Caro * lina were rainked as the best in the country; understanding by "best" when applied to courts those in which even-handed justice was most unwaveringly dispensed. There was a time, when to commit a crime of .any sort in South Carolina. the offen der would be surely tried. and whether he was rich or poor, be punished as the law directs. Wealth, social station nor politi cal pull could not stay the hand of the law or save the guilty one from punishment, and the com mitting of a crime was certain to be followed by this punish ment. * * * And may she not again reach the proud preemi nence which once was hers, when in the purity of her courts she headed the- sisterhood of States, and it was not "Jersev Justice" which was quoted a~s the quintessence of ~ legal admin istration. Let us hope so. - GAGGED ON HIS OWN MEDICINE. "Newspaper Argument Settles no Contre versies." Editor The Manning Times: In reply we will say your oditorial in last issue of theC MANNING TIES IS laughable indeed and your ranting shows conclusively that you are suffer ing from a political distempered im agination and a dethroned reason. When we wrote the communication: for THE MANNING TImES under the headline, "Hurrah for Tillman and the dispensary," it was not written for the purpose of creating any newspaper con troversy whatever with any one, but it was only written to show our position in regard to the invincible Senator Till man and the dispensary question, and our disgust and detestation for a gang of political turncoats and trators, who had been elevated to office in the past ten years or more, by floating with the popular tide of Tillmanism and the dis pensary. The readers of THE MANNING TIMES can read for themselves the letter and correspondence since passed between the editor and ourself. and for them selves decide as to the merits and de merits of the writings. As to last Saturday's issue of the News & Courier, wve have not read it, and consequently we do not know whether we owe the News & Courier an apology or not. The voters of South Carolina will at no distant day, settle the political ques tion now before the people for the next two years at least. and until then we will "hurrah for Tillman and the dis pensary." We vill again appeal to "the wool hats to stand firm and be undismayed," reminding them again "that they are the mainstav of the country both State and Nation," that they were "the first at Manassas, the 'last to leave Appo matox" and last but not least," "the bulwark of American liberty." To let the readers of THE MANNING TIMES know how Senator Tillman and the dispensary stand in other parts of the State, we will reproduce two quo tations, one from the News & Courier and one from the Columbia Record. The News & Courier's quotation ta ken from the Fort Mill Times issued, we believe, in York county, and is in reference to some one coming forth to defeat Senotor Tillman for rc-election to the Senate of the United States, and reads, "Among those most favorably spoken of for the race is the Hon. Geo. B. Cromer of Newberry The writer knows little of Mr. Cromer's past po litical career, if he has any, but learns that he is one of the champions of the force lengaged in the present fight against Senator Tillman. He would, perhaps, make a fairly good start in the race, and, with the aid of an extra long-sighted microscope, get in near enough to see the hoisting of the wool hat colors at the finish." -The Hon. Geo. B. Cromer like a wise man has stepped aside and Senator Tillman has an open field. The quotation from the Columbia Record is from a correspondent and reads, "As to Tillman, I don't believe there is a sane man in the State yho looks for serious opposition to him, and with his s6pport the dispensary will again wki over its enemies. If there had been clean, open, square politics played against the dispensary there might have been trouble for it, but there has been too much underhanded dirt in the whole thing, too much blackguarding of character and vile in sinuation." As "newspaper arguments settles no controversies" political or otherwise, we will write no more along this line. Geo. R. Jones Davis, S. C., March 23, 1906. STATE orT OHIO. CITY oF ToLEDO.

Turbeville made a flying trip to Columbia last week. Mr. Dudley Hodge of Manning has been here in the interest of the cotton association. Miss Lucy Hicks has been visiting at Turbeville. Rev. Wilder preached last Sunday at Salem, and Miss :Marion Hicks has a well organized choir at that place. Mr. H. J. Wheeler of Sardinia has been visiting these parts. It is rumored over here that Lawyer Woods of Manning is to visit Turbeville. He is very popular among our girls. Mr. Jack Hicks of Seloc has pur chased a library for his school room. Mr Hicks is ever on the alert on school matters. Several New Zionites are con templating attending the Midway in stallation services next Saturday. The Hon. Geo. R. Jones of Davis, in his dispensary arguments in THE TIMES, would be more effective did he not ox hibti such a narrow factioned spirit. The day forwaving the factional red lag has gone, and we hope forever. It accomplished nothing more than- the landing into public office of a class of men who probably would never have been entrusted with the people's con idence. Another thing factionalism accomplished, it created a whole lot of bitter fdeling and enmity, and fastened upon us a borde of grafters. The people over here have no objec tion to Mr. Jones advocating his ideas on the liquor question,it is his right as well as the right of every man, but we do object to be characterized as trait ors, for no other cause than disagree ing with the sage of Davis. There are hundreds of good men in Clarendon, who served their country in war and in peace, as well and as faithfully as Jones, who do not agree with him that the State dispensary should be forced upon the people whether or no, and who also are not bound to fall down and worship Tillman. These people resent Mr. Jones' ap peal to "wool hats,'' and- they,- regard it nothing more nor less than at insult t their intelligence for any inan to at tempt to appeal to them in such a man ner. The people are ready to listen to Mr. Jones or anybody else whenever he or they have ideas to advance but this must be based upon common reasoning and not factional hood winkery. B.

John Wilson, Esq.. of Sumter. was here on business, and informed your correspondent that after April 1st, a mail clerk will be put on the North Western Railroad. On last Saturday Magistrate Rich bourg swore in the managers for. the election to bond the school district, and then very confidently he marched up to cast his vote, but the Judge was called and turned down, on the ground that he did not exhibit a registration certificate, a little later, however, he returned with the necessary certificate, and was permitted to vote. There was eleven persons rejected because of not being qualified, and ten of these were for the bonds, one against. Several reached the polls after they had closed. The total vote cast was 60. For the bonds, 59, with only one vote against. This shows the spirit of the people in this section. They pull together, and the result shows a remarkable growth of our town and its surroundings. Messrs. I. I. Appelt and S. W. Bar ron from Manning spent last Friday evening here. Mr. F. Earle Bradham, of Manning. was in our city on Thursday, and we are informed he secured a place and will move the newspaper he is working on to this town. Hurrah for this, come ahead Mr. Bradham. There will be a match game of base ball here on Friday the 6th of April. between Sumter and our local team. It will be a good game. There is a scheme on foot to organize a collecting agency here. The town is having good work done on our streets, and if they keep on the town will have firstelass drainage, and good streets. The relatives and friends of the late H. R.

At present arrangements are trying to be made for a privat-e term. and it is to be hoped our people will realize so greatly the importance of education that they will. exert every effort to patronize it. A play entitled "Josiah's Courtship" given here several evenings ago by Paxville amatuers to a large audience. So well liked was it that the play has been invited to visit other towns.

Fellow-Farmers of Clarendon County: The last and final report of the ginners puts the crop of 1905-6 at 10.000.000 bales. after'de ducting round bales. linters and the average weight per bale of previous years. This infor mation with the farmers holding the balance of their crop has brought consternation to the exporters and spinners as it shows at least a million and a half bales less than what will be needed for actual consumption this year. judg ing by last years' consumption and with out standing contracts by the mills to deliver goods. Farmers, if you will only realize the situdtion and bold to your cotton you are certai~n to . ret the 15 cents as asked for by the Association. They are writing to spot holders, and drivi'g all over the county, using everyvmethod of argu ment to buy every bale that is in sight. They argue that 15 cent cotton is not possible, that the farmers are not going to stick out for I5 cents cotton. I am glad to say I believe the farmers will stiek, and so sure as they hold Out 15 cents cotton is a surity. Judging from my observation and that of the executive commit tee of this couuty I am quite sure the farmers are determined to bold and to reduce until the fight is won. Frllow-Farmers. this is the most critical time since the formation of the asso ciation. It is impossible for me to get over the county as fast as three well paid cotton buyers. But I advise you to hold every bale .of cotton for 15 cents and turn none loose for less, and the vic tor, which means so much for the South is then won. Listen to no argument that will get from you your cotton. Stick out for 15 cents. andwing to every bale with a death-like grip. Watch their movements and you will be con vinced that the time is now here for the 1l:ght to the finish. Et. D. HopCE. President Clarendon Association. Sleepleness.

The South Takes a Leaf From the Wis9t's Book of Prosperity. Notwithstanding the differ ence between the prices paid for wheat and corn, the laiUter com modity, by reason of its im mense volume, yields to the country the larger gross income. When the corn crop is un usually large and prices not un usually low, the western farmer prospers and in turn the rail roads through his territory pay dividends: manufacturers make money and the commercial con ditions generally are good. It requires only a short mem ory to recall the time when corn, year after year, was burned for fuel. or allowed to rot ungather ed in the fields. This was when corn was fed to cattle and meal entered very little into the diet list of man. The west used some corn, so did the south, but in the east it was almost unknown and Europeans regarded it as unfit for food. The grit. determination and energy of the west was concen trated to conquer this condition and a united movement was en gineered to instruct non-users of corn how this important food product might be utilized. Western expositions,state fairs, and country shows had corn pal aces, and representatives were sent to the Atlantic seaboard andlacross the ocean. exhibiting at all the great centers corn and its products. . Now, that cereal is never burnt unless a careles cook forgets her duty. At the Jamestown Exposition the southerners have determined to emulate the wisdom of their western brethren and will. erect an immense peanut palace where this esculent tuber will hold sway. German chemists have recent ly proven the nutritive value of the peanut and the ration of the soldier contains sausages made of peanuts. It is very nutritious, pleasing to the taste, and con tains more units of food energy than a sausage of similar size made from pork. The peanut as ordinarily used -roasted, is undoubtedly tooth some and gently soporific. Most mild cases of insomnia yield to a late supper of peanuts. In can dy it is known to many, but its use is by no means general. Pea nut butter,peanut brittle,ground peanuts for sandwiches, have a certain vogue,but it is restricted. The by-products of peanuts are many and useful, yet, year after year, peanut planters use their plants as. fertilizing ma terial, cutting them down and plowing them under to enrich the each. The Peanut Palace of the Jamestown Exposition is intend ed, like the corn palaces of the west, to be not a tinal undertak ing, but the beginning of a move ment in bringing to the peanut it due mead of appreciation. Bin Measurement8. To measure corn iind number of cu bic feet in crib, then multiply by 9 and divide by 20. which gives the amount in bushels. To'determine amount of shell ed corn to be obtained from crib of corn in ear find cubic feet of corn, di 'vide by 2, and the product will be the number of bushels of shelled corn, as two cubic feet of corn If sound and dry will produce one bushel of shelled corn.

A Dilemma. A well known college professor offers the two horns of a dilemma to advo cates of coeducation. ' "If you lecture to twenty boys and twenty girls in the same room," he asks, "will the boys attend to the lee ture or to the girlsy' Of course the coeducationist, to be consistent, must say that they will listen to the lecture. "Well, if they do," replies the dean, "they are not worth lecturing to." Harper's.
