comned here for a return performance.
A man must have a sure grievance
against the county to secure a verdict
for damages, but when it comes to a
railroad he need not be as particular.
The difference is, damages out of the
county means money out of the pockets
of the taxpayers, but against the rail
road, who cares?
The assessors and equalization boards
for the Towns of Manning and Sum
merton will be appointed by the respec

May. Care should be exercised in
these appointments that proper men
are placed in these positions. A good
law if honestly administered.

Mr. W. P. Hawkins has traded his
stable and stock business in Manning
to Mr. F. C. Thomas for his stable and
stock business in Kingstree. Mr.
Thomas took charge of the Manning
business last Monday. and Mr. Hawkins
moves this week to Kingstree, where
be was engaged in business for some
time before moving to Manning about
six years ago. Mr. Hawkins has proved
himself a good citizen and Manning
regrets to give him up, but at the
same time extenids him best wishes for
prosperity in his new home.
When a township votes itself out of a
couty o g toanother, it not only
mus bar tsproportion of the new
county debt, but it must also bear its
proportion of the bonded indebtedness
of the county it left. The to'wnships
in Clarendon seeking to join samter or
Williamsburg, or the proposed new
county of Beulah or Rutledge would be
wise to think before they act and thus
prevent double taxation. Clarendon
'has assumed a bonded indebtedness,
and every township is responsible for
that debt, whether it remains into
The coming town election bids fair to
be more interesting than any other mu
nicipal election the town has had in the
past. Manning needs a live, wide
awake council, and it is hoped that
whoever is chosen will put the town on
a progressive move. This is no longer
a little cross-road village, and a good,
live council can do much good.

The Lanier Literary Society of the
Moses Levi Memorial Institute. com
prising the fifth, sixth and seventh
grades of the school, celebrated Wash
ington's birthday last Friday afternoon.
The costumes and decorative features
were appropriate to the occasion. All
the school entered heartily into the
spirit of the occasion, and those that
did not take active part give high
praise to the Lanier Literary Society.
We direct the attention of our read
ers to the advertisement of Mr. F. C.
Thomas in this issue, who has come
back to his first love, the horse busi
ness. M r. Thomas has the reputation
of being one of the best horse and
mule buyers in the country. and his
coming back into the local market
means that there will be an active com
petiton here, and that the farmers of
Clarendon will have in Manning the
best stock market in the State. We
think we can safely say, that every
body welcomes Thomas back into busi
ness here.
Yesterday afternoon Wright, the
regular driver for the fire engine,
hitched up to practice the horses, and
by the time he cleared the engine house
the horses broke into arun down Keitt
street, and in turning the corner of
West Boundary street the speed was so
great that the engine overturned and
was badly injured. Several parts of
castings are broken, and we do not
think they can be repaired here It
looks as if our fire apparatus is fated to
be ruined. We cannot understand the
necessity to come out of the fire house
at full speed nor is it safe to drive a
top-heavy machine at a break-neck
gait around corners. Somebody should
put a stop to such recklessness. Mr.
Frank Hawkins, in an effort to stop the
horses, got pretty badly bruised, and
came out of the conflict with his pants
badly torn.

Court Adjourned Friday.
On last Wednesday, after the con
clusion of the Kelly case, which was
reported in THE TDIES last week, the
case of Elizabeth McPhail against the
Providence-Washington Tnsurance Co.,
came up for a hearing. This was a
suit for $1,500, the amount of a policy
covering a fire loss, the company hav
ing refused to settle. After the testi
mony was all in the lawyers on the two
sides agreed to a compromise for the
sum of $750 and the case was not sub
mitted to the jury.
No session of court was held on Tues
day, as the cases set for that day could
not be tried on account of the illness
of Mr. Charlton DuRant, who was in
terested in all the cases as attorney.
Friday the entire day was taken up
with the hearing of J. H. Childers
against Clarendon County, a suit for
damages to the amount of $1.500. The
plaintiff alleged that he had received
serious bodily injuries on account of a
defective bridge on a highway, caus
ing his horse to shy and throw him
violently from his buggy. The de
fence set up the claim that the plain-.
tiff caused the trouble himself by cut-'
ting his horse with a whip. The jury
found for the defendant.
Court adjourned Friday afternoon
on account of Saturday being a legal
holiday, leaving a large number of
cases on the docket for trial hereafter.

Cough Cure will surely stop it, and with
perfect safety. It is so thoroughly
harmless that Dr. Shoop tells mothers
to use nothing else even with very
young babies. The wholesome green
leaves and tender stems of a lung heal

Cure. It calms the cough and heals
the sensitive bronchial membranes.
