TL. 3 article in this issue by Dr. C. W. Blanchard on tobacco culture will be appreciated by a large number of our readers. 'Miss Ellie Boyd, after spending a week as the guest of Mrs. M. E. Pipkin, left last Thursday to visit friends in Kingstree. The heaviest jolt a man can get these days, is to have an interest bearing pa per poked into his face with a request to "come across. Lieutenant Governor-Thomas G. Mc. Leod is expected to be one of the speak. ers at the Zola banquet at Sardinia, on the evening of the 31st. Several Manning people will attend the centenual celebration at Ms. Zior tomorrow. R~ound trip tickets on the railroad will be sold at $1.35. Dr. I M Woods, of Sardinia, was it Manning yesterday, and tells us the people of his section are going into the tobacco culture heavier this year thatn ever before. Box rents at the post office are due next Wednesday. Parties holding boxes should pay now to avoid the inconven ience of having their mail put in the general delivery, and thereby preven annoyance. The sappy ham band rendered musi< for she Jenkinson easter sale last Satur day, while Hirschman's cart before-the horse advertisement went a rambli all around the town. The etforts to draw trade with fantas tical advertising may work for the mc ment, but there is but one proper wa, so advertise, and that is through th people's county paper. A colored man by the name of Seal secured the appointment cf rural ma carrier from Davis Station. He wa awarded this appointment after a con pesitive examination with several whit men. We understand that steps will has so be taken by the patrons of our loc: school to supplement the present fun< in order to continue the school term< nine months in the future. The mone supply we .arc informed will be shor Governor Ansel has been appointed on the commision to decide whether or not the date for the president.'s auguration shall be chanzed from Mabch 4th to a litr date. The new s-hool' uidiu at has been comp~e:ed. It is a very hatnto some structure. a Credit to the trustlee and the community. The school wot in charge of Profe;sor Patterson, with Miss A. P.

The applicants were W. A. Hodge, Harry A. Davis. P. A. Hodge and John W. Hinson. We call the attention of our readers to the advertisement. of Chas. M. Stieff in this number of our paper, and we ad vise every reader to follow these ads from week to week and .ou will un doubtedly find them interestin. espee ially to those who are contemplating the purchase of a piano. Kritchtield's pavilion shows are to be here tomorrow night. They play Dead wood Dick, a thrilling western stor-v. They claim it is clean and interesting.

J Nelson Brown. aged about 81 years. The funeral was conducted Friday in the Meth6di.,t church, by Rev. T. W. Munneriyn, and the burial wok place in the Weeks fam ily burying ground.' Mr. Brown was a preacher of the old school, and had lab red among the people, doing good for 54 years. At this time of the year, business in all of the towns is quiet, because those who make trade are busy with their farm preparations, but notwithstanding this, whenever inducements are offered the ready cash appears, as'is evident from the amount of cash taken in by those merchants who advertise freely, and offer bargains. Dr. Arch Cree, of the foreign mission board, Southern Baptist Convention, delivered a very interesting illustrated lecture on Touring the O'rient, on last Thursday evening. There was a large audience to listen to the eloquent speaker, and they were highly pleased. A collection amounting to sev eral hundred dollars was taken up for missions. To begin to appreciate the new school building it will pay those interested to visit it now. Mr. Jones who is in charge of the building is most painstaking with the work, and in less than one month's time he will turn over to the trustees one of the most complete and up-to-date school houses in the State. Every per son who visits this building comes away ~greeably surprised. The Rev. T. T. Walsh in his farewell sermon Sunday night, thanked the good people of Manning and his brother masons in behalf of the small flock of Episcopalians at this place, for their very many Christian courtesys extend ed them. He also again thanked the~ Hon. Louis Appelt for his very gener us offer to them of a lot upon which they could erect their church. The law providing against the giv ing of checks or drafts, when the party drawing has not sufficient funds in the ands of the party, or concern drawn upon, was .approved March 2nd, and became effective from that date. The penalty is a fine or imprisonment or both, in the discretion of the court. This should have the effect of putting a stop to the reckless giving of checks for the purpose of defra.uding. Hon. D. L. Green and Mr. D. E. Tur beville spent last Thursday in Manning. These gentlemen want us to telephone them when we hear the whistle of the Carolina Clinchfield and Ohio railroad train blowing for Manning, they want to come over to confer with the ma3n agement and offer inducements for the road to go on to Turbeville, and make that town a junction with the Alcolu jerk-water trunk line. While travelling the State cementing the band of friendship, charity and ben ovelence, Mr. Frank P. Cooper did not confine himself altogether to his broth er knights. but he lingered on the way to make a tie, which it is our wish will make him ar~d his bride happy through life. Mr. Cooper and Mrs. Dean, of An derson were united in marriage, at An derson yesterday. May the richest blessings be theirs. We go upon the streets and hear mer chants ask the question "ain't it dull?" yet thiose very merchants have not man ifested the least desire to enliven things in a business way. We hear property owners complain that their investments are a losing proposition, yet these same men do not contribute the slightest ef fort towards bringing something here which will give employment and en hance the value of property. At a meeting of the town council last Monday afternoon to consider the mat ter of sewerage, there was a report made of the survey, and an estimate of the probable cost of running a ten inch main up Brooks street. It was estimated the cost of putting in this system would be $6,000. The trustees of the school district to give .$1.000, and the court house commission $1,000, and the bal ance of $4,000 to be loaned to the town at five per cent interest. Council ac cepted the proposition, and have in structed their clerk to advertise for bids. Hon. John C. Shepperd of Edgefield, was invited to deliver the annual ad dress for the closing exercises of the Manning graded school, but he writes P.,essor Daniel his inability to accept because of a previous engagement at Bufalo, N. Y. If our school closing took place a week earlier this distinguished gentleman could time his affairs so he could be with us. We hope the trustees will consider this and try to atrrange tk~e date of the closing exercises so the peo ple of this community can have the magnificent treat of hearing Governor Shepperd. It is amusing to see an ostrich putting his head under cover, believing he is hiding himself from view. It is equally amusing to see a man afiicted with a -political tape-worm, worming his way into the good graces of contending Selements with a viewv of bring. ing to his political support these ele ments. The perpetrator of this joke is so cheek-hardened that he flatters him self with attributing to himsel f shrewd Sness, but he is only- adopting the ostrich -habit, his head is the only part of hin Sthat is hidden, and the other part makes a ludicrous exhibition, and furnishet entertainment to drive dull care away When the proper time comes a chilly Lblast will strike the exposed part of the 11man whose ambition leads him to be Ifoxey, and then he will realize the - truth of the maxitim "the people ma: .be fooled some of the time, but them an' be fooled all of the time. Rev. R. B. .Maoney. who has been visiting relatives in the county the past m4ontlh, has been spending several da,Ys in MaNninn with his niece, Mrs. .1. M. I Bradham: from here he goes to Char leston. then to Savaucah, and probably to Florida. before his vacation ends He is due to return to Kentucky April. 15th. There was an enthusiastic meeting of colored citizens in Trinity A. M. E. church in attendance of the "Educa tional Conferenc"- cailed by Prof. My ers and the trustees. Maj. A. Levi made a timely address to the colored citizens who have made a splendid start in im proving their school facilities. Over 300 c people attended the conference and 379 was pledged ou the work. Rev. Jno. Adams. pastor of the A. M. E., church E made a very iumres;ive speech and was e indeed useful i'n tl-e success obtained t Tuesday night. These conferences are to be held every fifteen days, and influ ential speakers of both races will deliv er addresses. I. M. A. M. u We are informed by the principal of I the local colored school the attendance i: above school age Lt his school are pay d scholars, which of course, makes a diff- c erence. We have no objection to the y colored people having a larger school a building,. but we think they should get I together and give of their means to help the project along. Already the taxation in this district is severe, the bulk of it falls upon the whites. therefore we say, the colored people should realize the E necessity of trying to, help themselves, and not depend entirely upon those who d are forced to pay taxes. t< Princioal Mevers is doing all in his o power. he is making a commendable ef- s fort for the people of his race. but are f< they interested as they should be to se- b cure the advantages he is asking for? If t the colored people in this district will go at it in the proper spirit and realize 1 the advantage that education spells for a them. they will do as many of the whites 14 did year. ago-go down into their pock- c ets, buty a site and build a house large is enough' to accommodate their needs. We understand they can get the build- i, ing now in use for the whites, and if it this is true, the purchase of a site, and r, the expense of moving the building will it be comparatively small This is a mat- b ter they should consider seriously. 1. ............ Agricultural Club. On last Saturday a young men's agri- N cultural club was organized with ten c members. Prof. E. J. Browne, the fz county superintendent of education dis- i( Cussed the movement inaugurated by lh ile government in the interest of more intlligent farming. The name of the >r-anization is "The Young Men's Ag ricutural Club of Clarendon County.'' a The officers are as follows: President, Sam Touchberry: Vice President, Wil- T lie Rawlinson: Secr.etary, Leon Gallo way: Executive Committee, Stackhouse Holladay. B. C. Broadway and Howard Tisdale. The officers and the executive com- s mittee will meet to make rules govern- n ing the club. Those who desire to join . should send their names to Leon Gallo way. Secretary. Those present at the k eeting were Sam Touchberry. How ard Tisdale, Willie Rawlinson, Stack- tI house Holladay, Leon Galloway, Edgar P F. Way, E. C. Way. Harvey L. Hodge and David Beatson. The following join ed Thomas Snyder, Manning: J. B. s Bagnal. Wilson: George L. Epps, New ion: Tindal Lowder, Jordan; Paul 0 Salley, Pinewood: Allen Graham, Pine- s wood, Walter Hill, Manning; Thomas e Broden, Manning; Robert Bradham, d NManning: Harvey L. Hodge, Alcolu: St-ackhouse Holladay, Manning; David b Beatson, Manning; Elbert Davis, Man ing; Charlie Davis, Manning: Westley raham, Manning; Jack Holladay, sa ~anning: J. Henry Thames, Maraning; nd Marion Williams, Mannmng;a Allen Sauls. This is an organiza-a tion which. if carried out as a t should be, will have- the effect of P reating more interest in agricultural pursuits, it will result in great good,e ad we hope the people generally will ncourage the boys. 1 The United States government is be ind this effort. and will send its offi ers, experts in their line, to comeP amongst our people to teach them what to do with the various soils and plants. t We have faith in this work, call it pa ternalism or what not, good must result a from it. Let every boy join the club, s nd there should be at every rural school a demonstration farm. Anniversary Exercises of the Clarendon Bap- t1 tists.p On last Sunday this church celebrated d its first anniversary with a most appro priat~e and enjoyable program. In spite ~ of the inclemency of the day there was a good congregation present, and the t usual harmony and spiritual power of P the meetings of this band was consery ed throughout the day.t Instrumental music was rendered by n Miss Lucy Johnson pith the handsome . new Vocalion and Mr. Rex Rice with ~ the Violin. The entire exercises were interspers ed by sonme of the old "Ageless hymns" b by thle entire congregation. I, Pastor Blanchard ~presided over the 13 exercises, which began promptly at 11 f o'clock and there was not a dull mo- v, ment even tc a visitor from the begin- , ning to the end. The "roll-call" of membership vias t one feature with the announcement of s 55 additions since the arrival of ther pastor. August Ist., 1909.e The historical paper read by Mr. A. C. Bradham recited many interesting events of the work of the past year, onet among the most noteworthy being the good future of the church in securing so efficient pastorial service. The rec ords show an almost constant stream oft ingatherings to the membership, not many weeks nassing when there were not accessions. The Sunday school which was organ ized with about 30 in October has en rolled 111 pupils. There is a Woman'si Missionary Society, Young Woman'si Auxilary and Sunbeams Society, all do-i ig valiant work. Once a month the Sunday school sends as much as $25 to the Connie Maxwell Orphanage, and once a month it con tributes to some Mission object of the Baptist Convention. On last Thursday evening, when the entire church contributed more than $500 to Foreign Missions the Sunday school - d its various classes made a largest portion of the offering. A most delightful location~ has been purchased for a church building on Brooks street, and soon a modern. christian workshop will be erected up on it to accommodate this growing band of workers. Tbere were two visiting pastors pres ent who took part in the exercises of the morning, Revs. 0. D. Loving and R. B. Mahoney. Rev. 0. D. Loving has for some time been pastor at Greely ville, and was a member of the Presbyterv which constituted the church a year ago. Rev. R. B. Mahoney is pastor of a Ichurch in Kentucky and is now on a Ivisit to th is, his native county. The exercises closed with a sermon by the pastor from the text: "A Glor ious Ch'urch." Eph. 5:27. At night there was preaching by Rev. R. B. Mahoney from Mark. 14:8, "She *hath done what she could." A Silyer Tea. iThe King's Daughters of the First Baptist church will give a Silver Tea~ Iin the Sunday school room, Tuesday, March 30th, from 4 o'clock to 6 o'clock tin the afternoon, and from 8 o'clock to 10:30 o'clock in the evening. There will 'be music and refreshments. If you have any article, valuable or otherwise you wish to get irid of, carefully wrap it up and bring it with you as there will be a Iswopping mrame during the evening. The eneral public is cordially invited. Ad mission, a piece of silver money. Errors in the Indexes. The work of re-indexing the records f the clerk of court's office. for which he sum of 500 was paid is being corn >lained of by those who have occasion D search the records. The indexes as hey are. will be useless, and unless the: :ork is done over this expenditure has een practically thrown away. Mr. A. Plumer Burgess of Summer on haa the contract for the re-index ag. and will. we understand, if he find. e cannot correct the errors and omis ions, do the work over, or refund the 2oney. We hone the members of the Bar will ontribute a fund to supplement the ontract price, because they have more eed for these indexes than other peo le, and the price paid Mr. Burgess was ntirely inadeauate. If the work has > be done over Mr. Burgess should be aid more money by those who are most oncerned.

Tobacco Cultare As a Money Crop. ditor The Manning Times: By your kind permission I will en eavor to comply with many requests > give your readers the benefit of some I my experience as a tobacco raiser. [ ate with propriety "my experience" >r I do not profess ability to go much eyond the experimental knowledge in le discussion of the subject. The tobacco raiser will most assured lindI ere long that experience after 11 is his best teacher. It is neverthe ss highly beneticial for farmers to ex ,ange their experiences in crop rais I of all classes. For many years I was a farmer, hav ir beec reared on the farm. and fol wing it as a pursuit for years after' .aching my majority. I have the cred if not honor. for after all it may not e an bonor, to be the first to introduce ie culture of tobacco successfully in the mw Eastern, sandy-soil belt. While perience in Clarendon county, South arolina, may reveal many changes that ill be necessary on account of soil and imate, it may be of some profit to the rmers to gather hints from my exper nee in another State. with very simi ,r soil but some different climate. THE PLANT BED AND PLANT. It is now too late to profit much from discussion of plant-bed preparation id the sowing of seeds and varieties. r that time has passed in the season. i my own experience I got best results om beds prepared and well burnt in od, bottom, made-soil, where the bed >uld get plenty of moisture and yet be iliciently drained for the little plants )t to sufiier from the souring of the soil om water-sob. Sow seeds at interftls SJanuary. In the event of drought, it is well to ep the bed watered so as to assure ie healthy, uniform growth of the ants. As a rule, beside the fertilizing ne when the seeds are sown. tne bed iould receive a good top-dressing of >me quick, available manure (never ni -ate of soda) in the beginning of April last :f March. The bed should be ifficiently canvassed with a gause cov -ing to keep out danger of frost and :essian fly till it is protected from these togers by the warm spring sun. The rule is that many plants in the 4d will put forward and become spind ng and stem my before the season has rived for planting. All such plants iould be carefully dra wn out when you e ready to plant and thrown away. No mouut of care or culture aan ever make good stalk of tobacco from such a ant. Even though scarcity of plants ay suggest the economy of saving thera ~perience will prove that they are orthless. You want to grow your crop uniform-I in size and quality. To assure this, uch depends upon the selection of the lant and its placing in the soil and the >ndition of -.he soil when the plant en ~rs it. Tobacco is one of the quickest rowths of all the crops that are made, nd it is easy to see how what might ~ems a little thing in the beginning will ave so much to do with the maturing of ie stock throughout to the end of its roth. It cannot overcome a stunting the beginning lik~e many other crops iat seem even to profit from such ex erience. Put a reliable person at the bed to raw the plants who will have regard r the selection of the proper plants, at the same time he will avoid bruis i them in the process, which renders sem worthless. Only healtby, bunchy lants should be set, which have not indled into a stem. Tbe mode of set ng the plant, th'e condition of the soil, anuring and preparation of the soil, e will discuss in later contributions. It now well to mention the SELECTION OF SOIL FOR THE CROP. Every other condition may be met, ut if the farmer has no eye to the se etion of the proper lot for raising pro table tobacco crops, he will inevitably til. There are fe w plantations on which ill not be found much land that will be ery unprofitable for the production of bacco. No soil will be good for to acco that is liable to water-sob at any eason of the year. Even though you ight avoid such a condition during the ultivation of the crop, the soured con ition of the soil is destructive to the -rowthi of fine salable tobacco. The land herefore is best that will naturally rain itself at all seasons of the year. kgain, it will be found that red clay oil, or black soil, will not be profitable obacco land. The best land for the pro tuction of quality anc quantity of gocd alable tobacco is the well drained loamy. oil with a clay subsoil. It is well if the :lay is not too near the surface. 'Then again, success depends very nuch upon the preparationa given .e soil. Tobacco has distinctive hab ts that must be humored if it yields ts best results. As a rule it does not frow well as a succession of other crops, specially cotton crops. The best prep Lraton that can be made for the growth >f a tobacco crop is to let the lot to- be >lanted rest the previous year from a.l1 ~rops. Even a pea crop which is so help ul to the soil for most other crops is a indrance to the best growth of tobac The soil should be well broken in fall )r mid-winter and re-fallowed Just be tore planting season. The quick growth j the crop makes good preparation a necessity. While, some consideration may be made for the variation in cli mate, 1 feel sure thati these simple rules will bear profitably on the growth of tobacco in Clarerdon county. In rmy next I will discuss the preparation of the soil, manuring and planting of the crop. C. W. BLANCHARD. Foley's Honey and Tar cures coughs quickly, strengthens the lungs and ex pels colds.

"Well, say, what about keeping my patrons from going fo' Near City to trade ?" "I realize that this is quite a problem. You are not doing your part, however. Every week the Near City merchants send pages of bargain offerings-into many of the homes in this commu nity. These people read them and go there to buy. That is per fectly natural. Your prices are -ery likely equally low, but how are they to know if you do not tell them? Frequently a distant store that advertises widely is betiter known to the public than one in their own town that shuns publicity. If you business men of this town will advertise and prove that you offer as good values as the Near City merchants, you will get back your trade. It pays to sacrifice profit on some items if you have to in order to substantiate this claim. The larger stores give the patron a little better selection, but the country merchant can do as well in price. Let larger sales, smaller profits, be the watchword." "But we have done some advertising' "Yes, but I must tell you candidly such copy will not bring trade. I shall explain later HOW an ad. should be written, but let us pass to something else." "What about these 'soap' clubs*?" "You said your customers approve of this idea of paying double prices for their goods and being deceived into believing the premium costs nothing. Sell that way yourself. That is the solution to this problem. Make up assortments as nearly as possible like those of the 'soap' companies and pick attractive premiums to go with them. But this alone is not sufficient. You must tell the people you are ready to match these offers, likewise where you meet mail order prices. You told me you could do so. It remains to convince the public of this, and that is the work of advertising." "You have convinced me that advertising is what is needed -to put an end to our troubles. I never saw it in this way before." "Yes, Mr. Business Man, charity is out of place in business. The fellow who gets trade is the one who proves to the public that he can give it the greatest value for its money. It will not do to WAIT for business. You must go after it. And now, when by well planned advertising you have cornered 'the trade that gets awE.y,' suppose you take a hand in the game the Near City mer chants played on you. For years the farmers south of you have been buying in rival tv-sns. Business men there consider this trade safe for eternity. Why don't you business fellows make a bid for a share of it? An aggressive advertising campaign, with plenty of 'leaders,' will pull it away while the outside merchants are sleeping. Business is a game in which every one is entitled to all he can get legitimately. Go where you choose for it. Land all you can." To Whom it May Concern. This is to certify that we have had U. S.
