The first bale of this year's cotton was auctioned off at Houston, Tex., last week, and brought 53 cents per pound. The scholars of Miss. Ria Lee Bow man's music school had an enjoyable outing at Mrs. J. H. NeKnight's last Friday. The Katyd'ids have tome again to grate their teeth, scratch their backs, or whatever it is they do up in the trees at night. John Harvin, a worthy young colored man, died of tuberculosis last Saturday. He was well thought of by the white peop~le of Manning. The teacher's summer school for white teachers is being arranged for and will be held later on, due notice of which will be givetk in ample ttme. The Executive Committee wisely re considered and i'escinded the action re quiring candidates for county commis sioners to run in the primary. Mr. W. P. Emanuel has a fine field of tobacco on his place at Trinity cross roads. If he succeeds in getting it cured in good shape his crop will bring him good money. Dr. E. E. Dickson, who has been con fined at home for a long while, has been much worse for the past few days. but the report is that he is some stronger this morning. A good demonstration of a worm in hot ashes can now be seen any day on our streets when the subject of town licenses are mentioned to the victors in the last municipal election. A special from Gaffney says that the meeting of the State Press Association opened yesterday morning with a record-breaking attendance. Gaffney is doing herself proud in the way of entertainment. Calvin Boyd, the Nell-known colored driver at Legg's stables, died last Sun day night and was buried Monday after noon. He was alway's faithful to his duties and was highly esteemed by the patrons of the stable. Mr. B. Muraoka, a young Japanese student at Wofford College, gave a very interesting lecture and a number of stereopticon views of Japan in the Methodist church last Monday evening. This young man expects to return to his native land as a missionary when he completes his college course next year. Mrs. D. A. Phillips and Miss Blanche Strange left last Wednesday evening to attend the annual conference of the Women's Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist church, which was held in the city of Orangeburg, June the 24th to 28th. Mrs. Pillips expects -to visit friends in Rlowesville for a few days before retnrning home. A bright little 3-year-old girl, who had often been to church in the coun try, was recently taken for her first time to attend an Episcopal service. and upon returning home she was asked how she liked it. She replied that she liked Mr. Gier better. because he pr-eached with his clothes on, but that man preached in his nightgown. The Third Quar-terly Conference of the Manning Methodist church was held Mondav mornig by Presiding Elder. Rev.' Waddy T. Duncan. Mr-. Duncan aiso pr-eached a good ser-mon Sunday morning to a large and appre ciative congregation. The i-eports made to the conference by the pastor and the stewards wer-e good. The church lhas received during the last quarter a net gain of eleven members. The con ference voted the pastor a month vaca we direct tiie attention of our real ers to the large establishment of one of the most reliable clothing houses in this State. The D. .. Chandler Cloth ing Co.. of Sumter. These gentlemen have an enormous stock and are prf oaring to make room for fall purch~ass and as far-seeing merebants. they take time by the fore-lock and offer their tremeidous stock at. reduced prices now, before the summer season is over. We doubt if there is a better selection of gentlemen's clothing, furnishings and hats anywhere. This con cern has always enjoyed a large pat ronage in Clarendon. and as it has ex traordinary bargains to osier it wants its Clarendon friends to get the bene ait. Hence the big ad in this issue. The annular eclipc of the sun camie along on schedule time last Sunday morning, though many people were not looking for it and were at a loss to account f-r the phenomenal appearance of the sunlight. One observer over in the fork of Black river. being' at a-poit where there were fleecy clouds over head at the time of the eclipse, saw a circular rainbow around the sun, about the dimensions of the ring around the moon often seen at night. We hear of no chickens going - roast, or cows coming home. or ..ner conventional things like that. One man down on Santee however, when he noticed the peculiar appearance of things. conclud ed that he must be getting bilious, and wor.ld have dosed himself with calomel if l-e had not discovered the true situa tion. As it was he was able to come to town on Monday. The Same Mr. Kelly. Editor The Mannina Times: In reply to your criticisms of com munication in THE TDES of the 17th you say I am the same Mr. Kelly whose name has appeared to criticisms in the newspapers before. Yes, I am the same Kelly. I have never had or use- any other name. or anybody's pen, and I see no reason why I cannot still use my own. Possibly you would prefer for me to write a little neighborhood gos sip. praise the editor of THE TIMES and dito everything he says , or does. You go further and say, usually our critics something which needs an answer, but Kelly's letter is the limit, and answers itself. Thanks. But the tone means one thing and the words another. The tone means that Kelly is an insignificent kuss, that don't know what he is talking about. The words mean'that Kelly has stated facts and are unanswerable. I will reiterate that it is a fact that under the adminis tration of the appointed board of com missioners, the county was run in debt.. bonded for $10,000, and advised by an act of the delegation to use over 56,000 of a surplus school fund to pay back indebtedness, and for other purposes. Where is the results? Have we ever seen them or do we expect to see them? No. If an elected board'does not do any better, God pitty us. You claim to have always been op posed to high assessments for candi dates, and especially inequitable assess ments. When have you raised your voice or pen before. Listen. In 1904 the candidates were assessed enough to pay the expenses of the 1904 campaign and a surplus of over 8100 was carried over, and went into the 1906 campaign. That is equitable, is it. to make the candidates of a preceding campaign help to pay the expeuses of the follow ing one? Why did you not protest then? Oh! you were a candidate, and your personal interest had to be looked after. Now, J. E. Kelly, the same Kelly, the one you dub the great one, an't see any consistency here. .Now_ I ave in the past, and will continue in the future, to criticise the acts of pub-: ic officials, who after seeking and securing an office, look after personal interest to the detriment of public in terest. It seems to me you are lacking n knowledge as to what is the duty of, and what is required of a citizen. You seem to think that a citizen must either run for an office or shut up and pay the yle (tax) regardless of the economy r extravagance of their officials. I think a citizen should use the best judgment he has to secure good, honest, onscientious officials. Then he should abide by, and sustain the constructive and executive branches of the govern ment. Now, I could cite you to numerous cases of proven corruption in the differ en; branches of the government. Therefore, in this age of graft, when personal interest is so dominant, it is well for the people to be cautioned occassionally to look after their owvn interests in discussions of this kind honest men are placed in the rhadow. but it is easy for them to show a clean record by merely giving conditions as they found them, and as they are. Mr. Editor, I am not seeking office, praise or redicule, and if politicians try to shoulder either on me, they will find their efforts of no avail, and unaffective. Respectfully the Same, - J. E. KELLY. June 20, 1908. If Mr. Kelly will point out the cor ruption of our county oflicials, give us the data--character of graft, and the names of the persons, we shall en deavor to assist him in purifying our county government. Our friend and neighbor, Mr. Kelly, will persist in saying the delegation by an Act au thorized the use of $6000 surplus school funds for various purposes, now he has raised it to over $6000O. The fact is Mr. Kely is mistaken as to the amount. It is 000 the commissioners are auther ized to borrow from this surpltus school fund, to pay off an interest bearing note held by the bank. This surplus fund is being used by the bank without the county getting interest for it. Ii Mr. Kelly was president of the bank he woud not be more solicitous for the bank's interests. It sounds queer to us thct a taxpayer should object to the county using its surplus money to stop interest, especially when the county is getting no interest from this surplus fund. If the bank has $3000 of the count's money deposited without in terestand holds a 85000 note against the county bearing intecest, it looks to us as if it simply loans the county its own money and receives interest there We have no objection to Mr. Kelly writing and criticising, have never re fused to publish his grievances. So far as Mr. Kelly's praise of THE TIES editor and ditto everythiug he says is concerned, we will say, there is such a thing as being damned with faint praie, and disposed as this Mr-. Kelly seems to be. THE TIES Editor makes no special efforts to single him out for marks of approval, because, he knows that do what he will, he will be damned if he does, and he will be damned if he don't. Conscience and wisdom seems to be monopolized in the Fork.--EDITOR THE TIES. Labor contracts drawn under the ne contract law now on hand at THE TiEs office at 5 eents a piece. or 50 cents per dozen.

The Executive Committee met today rand. the following business was trans acted: The first matter that come up was to a-ra:nge a schedule of campaign meet ing.I was moved and carried that the chair appoint a committee of three .rer ttCinen to arrange a schedule of campaign meetings, and the chair ap i)oiited W. E. Brown. Geo. Rt. Jones and C. M. Davis on the committee, who made the fo!!owing schedule: Smith School House. August 12. New Zion. August1. Alcoht, at night. August.14. laxviile. August 1S. Pinewood. August 1. Summerton, August 20. alnninn. August 21. The above appointments was then confirmed by the committee. \lr. W. M. Davis moved to reconsider the matter of patting the county con nisioners in the primary, which was adopted at the last meeting of the com mittee. The motion was debated at length. and the chair was asked to ma'e a ruling as to whether the office of county commissioner was an office in its true sense or not It was shown that the ::ommissioners are paid per diem, give a $1.000 bond and are com missioned, and the chair ruled that the county commissioners were officers in his opinion. Mr. .1. E. Kelly then moved to table the motion, which was lost by a vote of 8 to 9. The motion was then made to recon sider the former action of the Execu tive Committee. and allow the county commissioners to be appointed as here tofore, which was carried by a vote of 9 to 8. J. H. Lesesne moved that inasmuch as the available funds in the hands of the chairman was insufficient to meet the expenses and the shortage was $125. that the candidates for Solicitor and. Congress be requested to contrib ute the following amounts: Candidates for Solicitor $25.00 each, and for Con gress $50.00, which was carried and the chairman instructed to notify the candidates to this effect. It was moved that the chair appoint a committee of 12 on reception to meet the State campaigners on the 8th day of July next, and the following com mittee was appointed: J. R. Dingle, I. M. Woods. 0. C. Scarborough, E. D. Hodge. W. E. Brown, George Tindal, W. M. Plowden. W. C. Davis, F. C. Thomas. D. M. Bradham, J. H. Lesesne and I. 1. Bagnal. It was moved and carried that each member of the executive committee send in to the secretary at Manning the names of three managers of elec tion by the first day of August next. It was then requested that one of-the managers appointed call at the court house at Manning on August the 22nd and 24th to get the election boxes: The secretaries of the various clubs shall file with the chairmrn a copy of the club roll, certified to by the presi dent and the secretary, which will con stitute the registration list. All candidates must pay their assess ments and file their pledge by noon on the 11th day of August next. The secretary was also instructed-to write to the various printers and get bids on the printing of tickets and re turn sheet's for the managers of elec tions. A. J. RIcHBOURLG, J. M. WINDEAM, Chairman. Secretary. June 30, 1908. Stoll for Solicitor. Advertisement. At a meeting of the Board of Trade last Monday night a resolutions was introduced and unanimously adopted by a rising vote, endorsing Philip Stoll, sq., of the local bar, as candidate for solicitor of the third circuit. This is as it should be. It will be remembered that when Solicitor Wilson was elected judge the governor appointed W. H. Wells, Esq., of Florence in his stead. Then, when the new circuits were formed, Mr. J. B. McLaughlin of Bishopille, the present incumbent, re ceived the appointment. The election for this office has really never gone before the people since Judge Wilson succeeded himself four years ago. Mr. Stoll is a man well qualified to fill this office and he should receive the unanmious support of his home county. He is a ready speaker, and he will make a vigorous campaign and his chances for election are excellent. As a matter of local pride every voter of this county who can influence some one in another county should turn him to Mr. Stoll. If this be done and his home county support him loyally his Ielection is assured. There is this to remember: It has been twenty years since any Willhams burg county man has even offered to an elective office in State, district or circuit. Now that we have a candidate with grit and backbone enough to ven ture beyond the local pooi into the maelstrom of politics let us give him our hearty and loyal help' To elect Mr. Stoll solicitor would be .theesadvertisement that Williams burg has had for many years. First, let the world know that we have a coun t that is second to none in the State in fertility of soil and resources; and seond,' that we have confidence in and will sunnort our home men.
