Entered at the Posto~lle at Manning as Sec Th=ose who are constantly pre dicting race conflicts, are only see io to bring about such con hicts for seltish purposes. The negro conference in Co lum bia was largely attended and if the leaders can put intc - practice what they preach the harmony of the races is assured. There was a time when wt used to hear from the hustings in South Carolina such an ex pression as "salary-grabbers, and lo. and behold, we find the very men Tillman and Latime wi were loud in their preach ings against salary-grabbin among those who -voted to in crease their own salaries .-- pe] cent. Is it right: We should like to have beer in the Senate chamber during that executive session wher Senator Tillman was made tc eat humble pie: we do not vouci for the truth of the story, but r is rumored he was made to un derstand that he would have t< "eat crow" or be expelled. so h< preferred to "eat" and enjoy hi. increased salary. It is easy t< say ";I am sorry" to save 87,50( a year. If a member of the South Car olina general assembly were t< introduce a bill to increase th< pay of the members from $4 t< $6, is there many who doubt tha it would end that man's politica career, and with him would - g< the careers of every one wh< voted for him. Then why shouk it not work the same way witl our United States Senators? Art they any better? Have they an3 more rights to dig down into the people's money box? Summerton News. Editor The Manning Times * This correspondent was absen from your columns last week or account of violence done him bj the tax assessors or someone un known to the jury. If you will pardon a personal allusion,l will say that it is a violent blow' * to one's tranquility to ask hin to pay $102.00 taxes for 1906, or the same property that in 1902 came to $39.00. This is in tdwnship where there are n< special tax levies, and mights little in the wiy of "internal im provements." But every hard ship has its compensating bless ing, Ben Tillman is in the Sen ate, Clemson College is to run at excursion train, etc., etc. If the Farmer's College its going inltc the excursion business, better. a1 this season than later, however, the kind of freight they propose to carry don't pick much cottor anyhow. We are anxious to see the tex1 of Senator Appelt's bill abou1 the roads, bridges, etc. It is tc be hoped that he has gotter something that will prove to be the simon pure article, and bring relief to a long suffering people. The initial attraction of the Lyceum course was presented Tuesday evening .by the Lyric Glee Club. The personnel o: the group was as follows: Arth ur Scott, First Tenor; Alvir * Jones, Second Tenor; Paul V. Archibald, First Bass; Tom C. Polk, Second Bass. With thenr was Miss Mary Agnes Boyle Reader. The hall was crowded to its utmost capacity with splendid audience w h i c I gave perfect attention during *the whole entertainment. Thi selections sung were both of serious and comic nature, but a1 do time was there anything ap uroaching "rag time" music, ii was all high class and every singer an artist. The audiene4 continually encored and the Glee w'ere very obliging in their hap py responses. Different pieces appeal to different minds, anc while every number was greatiy enjoyed, yet we feel we refiec1 * the general mind in saying tha1 the song "Remember Now Thy .Creator," and .the melody it which the old colored Mauma puts her little charge to sleej were among the best. The mos1 . absolute attention was giver during these selections. The readings by Miss Doyle were also much enjoyed and she re -ceived just- as much applause. 'She has decided ability in her art. Her selections embraced both American, Irish and Negrc dialect, and the portrayal of the different characters as well as * her elocution was of a high or der of merit. A return of this troup will be welcomed at. any time. It has been abundantl~ proven that a full house can be counted on for a tirst-class at. traction, and the management should feel very much encour aged. We are all glad to know of Mr John S. Wilson's election a: judge, and congratulate him or All the same a same cau tion as oewro u U transactions that might by some miscarriage bring us within his jurisdiction. We believe that we would prefer to fall into the hands of Judge 1 Richbourg, and he is a holy terror. I Having seen the text of Sena tor Appelt's bill about good roads, we want to add as sectior 6 1-2 That a first-class road engineer be engaged at a salary of not over $1,000 per year, whose business it shall be to take in charge the road system of the county, carrying out the road = laws as now or hereafter may be made and any other public work as may be given him by the County Board. The paragraph providing that terra cotta pipe be laid in the place of small bridges is an em inently wise one. Everybody knows that the smaller the bridge the worse usually its con dition, and consequently the greater the scarecrow to teams. Just make the pipe big enough for a man to crawl-through. A peculiar sadness hangs over our town. For the firs1 time in its history it is called upon to record a case of suicide. Our sympathy goes out to the aged parents and to the wife and little ones of our young friend, Ernest Tisdale, whose sad taking off has prostrated them so bitterly. The attendan circumstances are so sad that w< draw a veil and leave them with his family and his friends. Fire one night this week de stroyed a servant's house and barn and stable of Mr. J. C Lanham. At one time his hand some new dwelling was in con siderable danger. We are sorry to read of the loss of Mr. David Plowden, nea Brewington,. especially so, a; Mrs. Plowden was formerly Miss Blanche Billups of this town We have been through a fire an< ' know just exactly what it means We hope President E. D Hodge told the Birminghan Conference about our cotton warehouse, the only one in op eration in the county. Cotton is now stored in it and some sale: made from it. It took grit ti build it and Presider.t Smyti says there is enough sand in the Board of Directors to make it complete success. Tf the peopl of Manning want to see what cotton warehouso looks like 1 why let them drive over. Summerton is catching on ti city ways. The Western Salvag Co. have two more sales in ful blast this week. Colclough Hard ware Co. and L. R. Chewning d Bro., are both in the hands o this concern, and again bis things are doing. Mr. Troy, station agent at St Paul, has been promoted to the bagency at this place. 1Mr. Bud Walters and famil: of Jacksonville, Fla., are visiting his father Mr. A. 5.

If ev-er there was a reliable and saft remedy it is that old and famous por ous plaster-Allock'S. It has been it use for sixty years, and is as populai today as ever, and we doubt if there iF a civilized community on the face o the globe where this wonderful pail reliever cannot be found.

He has not been well for some days, and it is the opinion that he died from the effects of laudanum taken by his own hand. Yesterday morning on the arrival of the train at the depot, he suddenly left, and going by a friend's house, left _a note telling of his intention to take his life, going on then into Taw Caw Creek swamp. subsequently, however, com ing back up into town to his home, where he went to bed, saying to his wife he was bad off. Soon he was un conscious and, although physicians worked on him constantly, he died about 4 this morning. Be leaves a wife and two children, the youngest scarce ly two weeks old. He has been. for several years agent of the Northwes tern railroad at this place. His re mains will be buried at Evergreen cem etery at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. The above is a particularly sad cir cumstance for the reason that his par ents are left in their advanced age, bereft of all their children, the others, Donald and Miss Lida, dying just after reaching manhood and womn andood. They have the sympathy of the whole community. CATARRH CURED AT HOME Trial Treatment of Dr. Blosser's Catarrh Remedy Free to Sufferers.

Grantleyv Berkeley tells in his "Life and Recollections" how a member for Ludlow in the last parliament of Wil 1am IV. "tried to make a maiden speech, and, rising in his place, with a very bald head, known, too, as he was to everybody as one of the oldest stagers in all the ways of the world, he began, with great affectation of in experience and with an exceedingly mild voice, 'Mr. Speaker, I am but a young member.' .On hearing this as sertion from so well known and crafty a man, possessing so venerable a pate, the entire house roared with laughter. Twice he stopped, and three.times he commenced with these words, but it was useless. The house would not listen, and he never to my knowledge essayed to speak again, or if he did the sight of his bald head set his audi ence in a roar." That's the 'house that Doctor built, The biggest house you see; Thank goodness he don't get our money. For we take Hollister's Rocky Mountain Tea. Dr. W. E. Brown & Co.
