Mr. Inzman of Florence was pulled here one day last week, and tined 2) for not having had his machine registered as the law re quires. It is not so dangerous to call "A wo man a devil incarnat-e" in Atlanta, be cause the juries are made up of heart less men, and they render verdicts that a woman is 'a devil incarnate." What good kind of a woman is it that wou:d not prefer being in Mannin;;? The advertising columns of THE TxES is the place to fiad out the class of merchants who are up-to-date. and really rznious to do business. When you wrant to make purchases, the store seeking your business is where you are likely to get the best bargains. The fearful noise heard a rew even ings ago, was not the cry of murder or the alarm of fire: but it was discovered upon investigation. to be a pracuce for the coming concert for the benefit of the Manning Fire Department, the numbers to be rendered at this concert will be especially fine, and every one should go out to hear it. B. A Johnson is out in this issue with an advertisement, directing the attention of the trading public to his store, and to let it be known that he is prepared to compete for the cash trade. He has the goodsand is in position to give the prices. All that. he asks is to be given a trial. Go to Johnson's with the cash and he will treat you right. A certain man in this town went to the depo& Iasn Saturday to meet his. wife who had been away for a month, and the fellow really looked as if he was glad. Goodness aint it funny how some men try to fool their wives? Why this old chap looked like he was swelled with pride, and his face had the sp 'earace of the full moon in August. George, it is so. Manning is becoming quite cosmopl itan, we have foreignaers and natives, different nationalities are represented, the German, Russian, French. Austrian, Syrian, Greek, Chinaman. The vari ous religious are Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Episcopalian, Jew, Ro man, Catholic and Greek, Catholic thus showing that we are gradually becom ing of consequence, and entitled to a place on the interiational map. The Farmers Bank and Trust Co.. of Sumter has established a branch at Smmerton and have an advertisement in this issue. They offer plenty money to borrowers a thing many are looking for. This bank is strongly offcered, several of the officers are well known in Clarendon. These gentlemen are suc essful business men and go upon the prinipletta business worth the con Bden eoftepeople is worth advertis ing, hence they come into the people's paper to solicit business. It is reported that a coffin bot Silled with half pint flasks of whiskey was shipped to a party in this county, ac companied by a negro man and woman as mourners that the supposed corpse was put on a wagon and taken to a te gro house, not far from Silver, and the next day, the box was buried in a bury ing ground somewhere near Paxville, whether this is a fairy sale or not we know not, but the party who told us assured us it is the truth, after extort ing a promise from us not to give him away. And the incident is only men tioned to show so what extent people would go to get booze. Let us all get together and make Manning what it oughtto be, this we cannot do by the emplornent of cheap John methods- The people want the best and if waey cannot get here they will go where is is. Remember, the merchant who complains of not getting trade, should investigate his own methods to get trade. The any old thing will do for Manning is aus-ga speled. If our merchants will not fur nish the best, they lose, our people are like Pat who had inherited a fortune, and when ordered to pick up his hod and carry the brick he told the fore man, to go to the devil I don't have so. So it is with the trading public. If the goods they want cannot be found here, they do not have to buy them. A most dastardly attempt was made last Friday to b-irn the house owned by Dr. W. E. Brown and occupied by James Brunsont and family. About three o'clock, the cracking of timber and smoke woke Branson's wife up, and she aroused the rest of the family. there were five people in the house and prob ably would have been burned hra is not been for the timely waking of Brun son's wife. The house was set in three different places and kerosene used plentifully; it is very evident, whoever the incendary was meant to destroy the inmates of this house. and the authori ties should spare no efforts to catch the dastard. To have such a character in the community is a tmenace which should not be allowed to remain. We under regret to say the suspected party is a white person, but it matters not who it is, white or black, they should be ap prehended and punished to the full ex tent of the law.

Brown calle.] :he meeting in or -lr t I o'clock, and after bri.f ex pnat:ous of theO moveet, t. e pr'eetz ed .\Ir. .Martin who gave a splendid ac count of the work being uone in variou part. of the Southern State. e pok along the lines as indicated in the fol lowing brief synopsis of the speech. Mr. (. i3. Martin former State Sup erioteudent of Education and now it charge of Iov' Demonstration Wor in the South for the United States De partment of Agriculture ,poke to the meeting of the Clarendon County Boy's Agricaltural Club on Wednesday H( expressed his appreciation of the tin start whi'-h these boys have made ac expressed the belief that the work would greatly extend and develop nex1 year. He said that the audience of fift' representative boys from all parts o the county constituted a very signifi cant meeung. ie gave a brief outline of the plans for the organization of tht Boy's Clubs. It is a plan which involv es the co-operation of the county Super intendent of Education, the county dem onstration agent. the teachers. the par ents. the business men and public spir ited people generally. Prof. Martin said tr.at the busines men of Manning showed wisdom and foresight in ofTerinir p.-izes to the boys for the best results on the acres which they are cultivating. He also commend ed the crorts of Supt. Brown and Mr C. A. McFaddin :n aiding in the orgfan ization and cond.ct of the Boy's Demon stration Work. He told of several counties in the South where the boys have developed their clubs and rizes until other line-; of agriculture 'and horticulture have been engaged a: d developed. Girl's clubs for vegetable and dower garden ing and also neeele wormv and cooking have followed thi boy's organizations After this wo-k has been pushed for a year or so the exhibits make a fine I nucleus for a county fair. It is better for Deooie to meet each other at a coun ty fair spend their money at home and have a good time than it is to let carni vals and circuses take the money out of the county. Besides the county fair will encourage better crops, better gardens, better chickens. better horses, better cattle and nume-ous other things which will be improved because of the exhib its, companions and healthy rivairy. Mr. Martin called attention to the fact that there are 12,4C4 boys in the demonstration work in the South. He said there are about 300 in South Caro lina in the counties of Clarendon, Mar' boro, Lee. Florence and -Newberry. He urged the Clarendon boys to do their best to take the lead as they were among the first to get started. He told of the prizes-r. free trip to Washing ton, some cash prices and numbers of valuable prizes offered by the mer chants. He said that he would look for some fine results in Clarendon county. At the conclusion of Mr. Martin's ad dress Supt. Brown read the prize list he has arranged for this county and called on Mr. Martin to explain the capital corn prize. This prize goes to the boy in South Carolina that produces the big gest yield per acre iwiich carries with it a free trip to Washington and all ex penses paid, besides the denartmient agrees to purchase his corn at $2 per bushel for seed purposes. The list of prizes is widely varied, and there is no reason why several boys in the county may not share in them. The prizes were not made large this year because it is hoped and expected that the work will gow by next year. and larger, amounts will then be needed, andi it was consid ered best not to exhaust the resources while the membership was not large. It is hoped and expected that mer chants and others will co-operate with the Superintendent in pushing this work so that Clarendon county may head the list in this State. Mr. Chsrlton DuRant, reuresenting the Manning Board of Trade made a talk of bis usual characteristic force and effect emphasizng the importance of the work in all its phases. Mr. C. A. McFaddin also spoke en couragingly of the work and explained many things of importance in connec tion'with the work, and showed by his speech his earnest and untiring zeal in this Farm Demonstration Work for t~hiae county by both men and the boys. He gave a good account of the work. Mr. J. D. Rutledge of Summerton made a distinct "hit" in his very time ly and forceful remarks to the boys, ap pealing to them to let'honesty and ex actness prompt their every act-to be honest with themselves and to work knowingly ic what they did-to keep ver- ecurate accounts with their acres -to ksnow exactly what fertilizers and how much they applied, and in what wa-to keep accurate accounts of all itemns of expense, that by doing so ti~ry would be surprised at the fund of know ledge they would acquire by this prin ciple. His talk was wholesome and the effects of it will not be seed sown amiss. Mr. W. T. P. Sprott spoke of the ex hibition of the boy's crops this fall when they bring un samples to compete for prizes, and hoped it would be the be ginning of the organization of a county fair. The idea took well, and quite a number of very favorable expressions looking forward to the organization of a county fair were freely expressed. At the conclusion of the meeting the boys and men repaired to the front of the new court house where they were properly grouped for a photograph Taking all things into consideration, the meeting was a tine success, and it is hoped that the interest will grow and spread until Clarendon will be the ban ner county in the State from an agri cultural standpoint.
