There are some thick-headed galoots in this county who are unable to dif ferentiate between honest, open, con duct on the part of a public servant, and cringing. fawning, hypocrisy. The man who offers to confer with his con stituents before taking a step they are vitally interested in is treated as en enemy, but the man who sneaks his plans through, and then gives oily tongue excuses is better treated.

Brown & Co. The court house square presented last Sunday morning a deserted ap pearance. The tented city vanished in the night time. The carnival from a financial standpoint was not a success. The management struck it when people were not in a money spending humor, and besides, the weather was bad a part of the week. The shows were very good indeed, -worth the price of admis sion, and a very decent lot of people in charge. They are in Timmonsville now. Mr. E. L. Mards who conducts a gen eral merchandise business at Pope, Va. writes: I had chills last June and got down in very' bad shape. My system was so completely run down tnat I was scarcely able to attend to any work, I took 3 bottles of Rydale's Tonic and felt like a new man before I had finished taking it. It did me more good than anything I ever found and my health, was good all last summer. W. E. Brown & Co. To satisfy those who think our school building should not stand as a memo rial to any man we are authorized by the school trustees to state, if a bond issue is declared, the new school will be known as the Manning Graded School, and -not The Moses Levi Memo rial Institute. Those favoring the new school are indifferent as to the name, what they want is a building that will be comfortable, and in keeping with the town, therefore to make the bond issue as nearly unanimous as possible they will cal it the Manning Graded School.

In response to the call of the Count) Senator for a rzass meeting to discus various matters affecting the interest, of the county. a fairly representai1vc body met in the court house last Mon day. Senator Appelt called the meet. ing to order and explained its object: he was then made permanent chairman. At times the meeting was in confusior as a result of several trying to talk at the same time notwithstanding thE repeated efforts on the part of iE chairman to conduct the meeting i decency and order. The tirst question to be discussed was the much agitated lien law. It was the product of much vehemance and heat, some wanted it killed out right, a few others tbought there should be time given in order to not work an injury to those who had large amounts of money buried in the lien system, then there were others who did not want the lien law repealed un less the mortgage section went with it. There were many divergent views, and strange to say, people who have been the beneficiaries of the lien system, and cannot get credit for a pint of salt without security, were most anxious to saw this limb from under them--repeal the lien law. There were some at this meeting who imagine, if the lien law is repealed it absolves them from any past debts whatever, and that it means a wiping out. it reouired considerable tact to bring order out of disorder so that some action could be taken. The meetin- adopted the following resolu tion. -Resolved, that it is the sense of this meeting, that all laws now upon the statute books which permit a lien or mortgage on crops should be repeal ed to go into effect not later than 1909." The next question was whether or not Clarendon's representatives should make provision for the building of a new court house. This brought on a perfect onslaught upon the chairman who was charged by Col, Mitch Epps with all kinds of impure motives, high crimes and misdemeanors. He inti mated that the building of a new court house was a trick to rob him of some cases he would have in court, but Col. Epps was not alone in the opposition to progress, therc were others, equally as loud-mouthed, and as unreasonable, evidently playing to the popular prej udice with the expectation of votes, possibly next summer, but everybody cannot be elected to office in Clarendon, and wbcn a man contemplates being a candidata he had better stop to exam ine himself, think well of what he is, because if there is the slightest taint, the sin, matters not how far back, will surely find him out. After much discussion Mr. T. M. Davis of Jordan. moved "that our Represen tatives; be instructed to secure the necessary legislation to make provision for bonding the county to build a safe and :omfortable court house.' 'The few opponents of the new court house kept up a constant noise making all sorts of dire threats, and predictions, but at last a standing vote was taken, result ing favor of building a new court house four to one. It will be remembered that last year the meeting was in the same propor tion against the court house, but the matter was not so well understood, nevertheless the delegation felt bound to do nothing, because the meeting so instructed them, but now they have the people's instructions to go ahead, dad we take it there is not a man on the delegation but feels as much bound by this meeting ;s he felt about the meeting last year, and therefore, knowing the delegation to be made up of men, and not littie political syco phants, we can safely say there will be at the coming session the necessary legislation to put Clarendon on a foot ing with other countics by providing a safe depository for the records, a com fortable place for jurors, and an orna ment to the county. It is proposed to erect a building at a cost of $50,000, about one-third the cost of Sumter's court house, and it will be so arranged that the taxpayers will scarcely know they are paying any an ditional tax. The additional levy will not exceed two mills.which is two cents on every one hundred dollars worth of property. Therefore, if a man owns $1,000 worth of, property his tax for court house purposes will not exceed twenty cents. The result of the court house proposi tion was a great surprise to some of the opposition, so much so that their lead er rose and threatened the polhtical death of the delegation if they carried out the wishes of this meeting, but he was given to understand in short order by the Senator, that the wishes of the neeting would be carried out, and so far as the threats of political death was concerned, he told them he proposed to do what he conscientiously thougb.t best for the people's interests, that he would introduce a bill for a new court house, in accordance with the expres sed wishes of the meeting, and if it meant his political death they could take their votes and go to thunder. He submitted to the action of last year's meeting, and he proposed now to force the opposition to submit to this one. There were several other matters to be discussed but many became disgust ed with the wrangling and mnouthing of a few, that they moved to adjourn.
