The hill at the foot of Brooks street f near Black river swamp if cut down and I the road leveled would be a great bene- r fit to those who are expected to haul s loads of tobacco and cotton to this mar- E ket. We understand the county auth- r orities owe the town a considerable I amount of labor, if this is true, then the i town council should interest itself in se- i curing the sarvices of the county chain- s gang with its machinery for this impor- i tant work. This piece of road could be c leveled and clayed at a small cost, and I it should be done before the tobacco 1 season opens. s t "Let there be light and there was v light." Manniug has now one of the ' most up-to-date drug stores in the t State. A visitor to Manning will be T struck by the neat and attractive ap- 0 pearance of Dr. J. E. Arant's elegantly a fitted up establishment. He has re- I cently installed the Hanson light, e 7 which makes his store at night have the appearance of sunlight. The bril liancy and softness of this light adds much to the beauty of the general schetne of this well furnished and 0 equipped store. Dr. Arant is to be con- 0 2 gratulated upon the good taste exhi- n ' bited in giving to this town such an t establishment. t t An exceptionally interesting union - service was held in the Presbyterian n church last Sunday night, the subject , for consideration being the laymen's S missionary movement which is now at tracting such wide-spread attention throughout the United States and Can , ada. There was a large attendance at the meeting and stirring addresses were made by Charlton DuRant, Esq., Captain W. C. Davis, Rev. C. W. , Blanchard, of the Clarendon Baptist a church, and Rev. F. E. Shuler, of the Methodisl church. The' congregational singing was good, bit especially inter 3 esting were the songs rendered by a - male quartette composed of Messrs. J. L. Wells, A. P. Burgess, W. M. Plow den and Dr G L. Dickson. The Paxville school district election 0 on the question of issuing bonds re sulted in a vote in favor of the bonds ~ a 47 to 24, but owing to the trustees. not having complied strictly with the law - in regard to having the district sur- y veyed and a plat of the district record ed in the clerk of court's offce before I the election, as the Act providing for asuch elections requires, it has been h 1 deemed best not to report the election e on the 18th, instant, and order another 0 election. but before said election is a s held a servey and a plat will be made 0 and the necessary record made. - The result of the vote already taken y is an indication that the people of the a district are not aversed to improved ~school facilities, and now that an ex - pression has been had, and the opposi tion located before the other election is held, the trustees, together with the j superintendent of education, will meet and devise some scheme to satisfy the r ' opposition, either by giving them a si teacher or by providing means to con- se vev tbe children living at a distance, C to the school house. Paxville is going a to have a new school building in time si i for the next session. Mr. F. Wilbur Smith, Postoffice In- ' spector, was in Manning last Friday, a B gave the postoffice a thorough inspec- r tion, and indicated he would recoin mend giving the post master authority to secure larger quarters for the post u office. He remarked that a county seat town which was giving promise of a good future ought to be entitled to a t larger office with the latest improved e equipments. After Mr. Smith finishedv his work, we accompanied him through e the court house and school house, with both buildings he was very much im- o pressed. This gentleman has been in -the government service many years, -and in the course of his travels the op - portunity is afforded him to observe all I n manner of public buildings, and when he finished going over ours he said, "well, sir, von have a splendidly con e structed court house, it is a credit to y the people of your county, thee should 7be proud of it, and will when they re alize the safety of the records, and the comfort of those who will have business either as jurors, witnesses or spectators. As to your school building it will do ecredit to acity many times larger than rManning: those in authority looked be yond today when laying their plans for this building. I am impressed _with e the style -of archetecture-mission ,effect. I live in Philadelphia, ana 'there are anumber of buildings there~ of the same style of architecture, it is 'so different from the stereotype school house, that it grows in admiration. The t inside of this building has been grandly y- planned, light, comfort, and every san is itary precaution has been taken; I am a simply struck on your magnificient 2. school building." It was very gratify ing to hear this man, who has never 1- been in Manning before, wvho is a l traveler and close observer by profes e sion, speak so glowingly of our public ir improvements. We found Inspector -e Smith exacting in the discharge of his duties, be takes nothing for granted,' everything is carefully gone through, but in a most courteous manner, when - instruction was necessary, he would r give it without any display of authority, - and when his work was done, while t waiting for the train, we found him a very entertaining and cultured gentle n'an. A case which we think will be watch s ed with unusual interest, not only be ccause the accused is a prominent citizen, ol and a man of exemplary character, but >because their is involved a fine legal ir question which when finally decided we will have a potent effect upon our pro hibition laws, or destroy them until e further legislation is had, this is the n case of the State against Dr. D. 0. kRbame of Summerton, charging him with having sold Jamaica ginger, a ' compound or mixture containin'g alco u hol, in violatioa of law. A preliminary uwas held here Thursday before Nlagis trate Dicksun who sent the case up to the court of general sessions. Captain ad W. C Davis represents Doctor Rhame, -. and J. M. Woods, Esq.. the State. la 1t is always unfortunate for a gentle im man of standing to be forced into the m, unpleasant notoriety, a charge of this ke nature would create, but now the case as is in the courts, we hope it will go to the to limit in order to obtain a final judicial or expression, as to whether or not a stand a hseodi remedy is contemplated by the laws of the State seeking to pr hibit the consumption of intoxicatir beverages, and also to let the peop know once and for all to what extez this law reaches. There are many merchants, druggis and others handling compounds or m12 tures containing alcohol, who would n( do so, did they think they were viola ing law, because they want to be lav abiding citizens, but mixtures, extrac and essences that the United States go ernment has not recognized as an into: icant, and did not require a tax ther, for, is subjecting citizens to proseci tion because of the wording of a Stal law, the sooner a judicial constructic which is final is given to the people t1 better it will be, in the interest of goc ;overnment. Should the court determine that tlh ale of Jamaica ginger, extracts and e ;ences containing alcohol are not con emplated by the Acts of the legislh ure, and therefore not in violztion < aw, then we look for the people a )ver the cduntry to become gingere hrough little stores and shops that wi pring up, and thereby make it impos ible to curtail or prevent drunkenness A Distinguished Educator. Our readers will remember Mr. Joh .- Thackston, formerly one of th eachers in our local school, an hey will be gratified to learn of hi uccess in the educational world. Th ollowing is taken from the Winon Union) Republican Herald of May 1 For the third time within two o bree years the Winona Normal Schoc acualty is called upon to furnish : >rofesso: for a university. It has beer ade public that Dr. John A. Thack ton, who succeeded Miss Katherine prague in the teachership af m.the atics, has been called to the chair a >hilosophy and education in the Uni -ersity of Florida at Gainesville. Thi: s a marked promotion for Dr. Thack ton and a position for which he spec ally prepared himself during two year f graduate study in the Univ'ersity o few York. During his year in Winona te and his family have endeared them elves to rll members of the school and o the members of the community therever they have made acquaint. nces outside the school. In addition t< be class room work in matbematics )r. Tbackston has had geheral charge f the classification of the students it 11 courses, and has carried on boti inds of work with earnestness and ffectiveness. A Soil Survey of Clarendon County. An effort has been made by the Boar< f Trade of Manning to get the officials f the Uuited States Government t< iake a soil survey of Clarendon coun . This means that experts sent out b: ac Department of Agriculture would o all over the county testing and ana sing the soils; then a map would be iade up showing the exact nature o e soil in all portions of the county uch a survey would be invaluable no ly tc the farmers who could therebv btain scientific advice as to the fertil .ation of their crops, but also to inves yrs and prospective purchasers of land the county. T'lis would also be of the greates ood to the county as a means of adver sing and it would show that our soi ere is of as high character as that it ther portions of the State where farm nds are two or three times as high as ie same character of land in this coun. The following letter was also recently ceived, from the State commissioner f Agriculture, and in addition to this Ir. Watson has promised in a shor me he will be in Washington, and wil ae a personal interview with the of cials in charge of this work. Columbia. S. C., May 21. 1909. :r. Charlton DuRant.

My Dear Senator-Your favor of recent dat, irected to Washington, is just to hard, and 1F eply beg to advise you that the Census Bill i tll pending action, is now in conference be reen the two houses.

This bill was passed by both houses durn e latter part of the 60th Congress. but Pres ent Roosevelt vetoed it on the ground that th ppointment should be governed by Civil Set ice Examination instead of political appoin1 ient, and when the bill was returned to th ouse it was referred to the conterees for at ton, and up to this time nothing has develope ne way or the other.
