Let's all get together and pull for a gt-eater 1910. The Christmas trade in Manning was very entisfar-tory, but some of them say the volumin of business done did not equal last year. Ign't it awful that we must settle be twesa now and Friday? Wont some of those we indulged come across and give us a little helD? Those that have chanceson the black horseand wish to be here when the draw takes place will come to Manning Wednesday, January 5th. Mr. John A. Burgess, manager of the Paregon Drug Company in Charleston. with his family. spent Christmas with Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Stakes. Died suddenly at his home in Kelton, Union County, last Monday, Dr. L. J. Wocd. the father of Miss Madge Wood. who is attending school here. A six-year-old daughter of Mr. Rob ert Ber.rd was accidentallyj burned last Wednesday near Trel'eand from the-effects of which she died. The rah.. rab, kids will be hikeing back to school and baker's bread next week when they can dream of bomne, Mama's doughnuts and vacation. There has been a flood of liquor brought into this State by the express companies, but now that Christmas is over it is hoped that the nuisance will hold up. The county treasurers close their ann~ are -4 e t''er then those - - are to pay a - - nd save this -. -. event at the au .irs. V. M. Bradham inst Monday evening. in the nature of a reception given in honor of Miss Wanna -aker of Orangeburg. Mr. C. W. Pickering retires from the ~ank of Clarendoo.ana will have charge 4 the offce of Mr. F. C. Thomas at .loomville. We are told that Mr Covert Slowden will succeed Mr. Pietering in the bank~. The marriage that we asked our read ers to gu.ess, failed to materialize be cause of the groom not showing up and the bride not havingt anything vumtable to wear. Both of these things were necessary for the trick to be turned. The street ornament used as a place to protect the police from the elements is not a permanent fixturo, it may be some time before it is moved away, but it willbenmoved, if not by order of this ouucil, it will be by order of the next. yanning enjoys the distinction of being the only town in the World that has its police protected from the weather while on dnty. Capt. D. J. LA-adham requests us to~ announce that he will be in the audi tor's office every Saturday during the j month of .anuary tozattend to pensions-. Those interested in this matter' should| come to the court house any Saturday during January. On ard after January 1st., those who order liquor wili be violating the law if they have the stuff shipped in assumed natmes; this will be hard on the sly drinkers, who order in the name of oth I er names than their own to keep from being known Rev. L. A. Cooper, the new pastor of the First Baptist Church will occupy hisipulpit next Sunday morning, and, Sunday evening the other churches will attend at the First Baptist Church and the ministers *ill extend a welcome to the new minister. Col. Geo. Scarborough of Darlington, is in Manning on a visit to his daw-lhter. Mrs. R. E. Harlee. Mr. Scarborough is a brother of Hon. 0. C. Scarborough of Summerton, but coming from Dar lington he claims to be the best looking, this however, Is disputed by 0. C. The Columbia State was not issned Christmas day, and it was greatly miss ed by its patrons here for notwithstand ing that newspaper assumes much it is not entitled to. it is a splendid newspa per and we all love to read it. even if at times it gets its fur turned the wrong way and needs remonstrating with. The lady referred to last week as hav ing lost her temper with her rubber shoe, took us to task for eve-dropping I her, and wants us to understand that I she does not say such things in her hus band's presence, but when any such I emotions come to her she has a cat that I doesn't mind, in other words she cusses the cat The annual election of officers for St. Peters lodge of A. F. M., tooie place last Wednesday night, and the following were elected for the ensuing year: F. L. Wolfe. W. M., L. 2. Harvin, S. W , T. F. Coffey, J. W., R R. Jenkinson, Treasurer, Fred Lesesne, Secretary, E. C. Horton. S. D, G. M. Smith, J. D., J. 3. Barwick, Tiler-I t Clarendon county is in better shape now than it has been in many years, the people are enjoying an era of prosperity, and its effect is being felt on every hand. It is very noticeable that more money is being invested in lands and in farm im provements Most of the farmers have bank accounts and are ready for the coming year to go to work with great enthusiasm. We have heard of depositing whiskey in government warehouses for storage, but never before have we heard that banks receive the stuff on deposit, as we are told was the case at one of our local banks one day las~t week. The depositor did not however hand it in through the cashier's window, but made the deposit on the floor, "and cast a downward glapce and smiled a smole." There is a prospect of Manning get ting an ice factory this summer. One of-t our enterprising young mei, is in cor respondence with a concern with a view s of locating an enterprise here that will manufacture ice in competition with the monopoly now forcing our people to par . exhorbitant prices for ice, they are tak ing advantage of our necessity and of t their monopoly. It has bee-. customary for the Senator I to ask the people to meet with the dele- t gation to confer about county matters just before the legislature assembles, ( but inasmuch as there is nothing of ~ special importance, and the people are expected to be at the county seat on next Wednesday to participate in the I ceremonies of laying the corner stone, 1 and dedicating the court house, is has i been concluded not to have the de'ega- ~ ( tion's asnal meeting. This is the last issue of THE TnrS for the year 1909. and we wish to thank E our patrons for she~ liberal patronage ' given to us during the year. Every ef- . fort was made to give the people a pa-1 per second to none in the State, andt this effort will continue. It is the pur pose of THE TDEuSso improve and keep ~ abreast of the times, and we hope that,1 our readers will aid us in making THE ~ TIMEs for the year 1910 even better ~ than it has everleen. It is with regret that Clarendon- loses such a citizen as Mr. D. C. Shaw, who has moved to Sumter from Alcolu, we never did think he should live at Alco l, and when we heard that he decided to move to Sumter it came near break ing our hears. Mr. Shaw is agood man and he deserves a better fate than to carry his excellent wife and promising f children to such a place, when Manning a Is here ready to receive him always. a Cope hack brother before it is too late S and before the wickedness of Sumter S takes ahold. I C On and after Januaryv 15th all persons who are over one year in arrears to THE I TnrM will be cut off. We' give this a timely notice in order that they cannot 1 have the excuse tosay they did not know they would be cut off. It is impossible for usto carry adead-beat set of read- a ers. If the paper is worth receiving it is worth paying for, and we should rath- .1 er have 1,000 paying subscribers than d 2,000 on our list and one-third of them K dead-beats, a dead-beat is the most con- t temptible creature on earth, and it is s surprising how many of these cattle ,there are. The patriotic sentiment of the people c is appealed to for contributions for the 1 confederate monument. So far the mon- C ey is. coming in slow but we hope the list will swell and grow longer now that a the Christmas isover. This monument a is not a Manning affair any more than any other part of the county, the whole s county is interested, and all should d share in commemorating the deeds of a the brave patriots who gave their lives t for a cause they believed to have been l' Iright; they responded to their country's a call, and their deeds of valorare glisten ing on the pages of history, it is due e them that their children should erect ae monument to their memory, will theyf do it? 11 Why, yes, Clarendon has been under I aprohibition law ever since November. 190$, and Summerton is a pars of Claren-t don, so is Pinewood, Paxville and Davisa Station, and all of the stations along the Alcon Railroad. and the Northwesterne Railroad in the county, and we are t surprised that youx shoulai not have t noticed that prohibition is in -:ogue in Clarendon. This is intended as a reply o inquiries. If the express agents ati all she stations will send us a statement of the liquor receipts at their respec tie omeies, we will go over the dis pensary books for the year ending November, 190$, and in this way it can Ibe found out whether there is, as much liquor brought into the county since there was before. There are many who believe there is fully as much since the ,dispensary closed. The F. N. Wilson Insurance Agency. as its annual meeting last Mlonday re- ) eelted its officers and declared a divi Idend of 33t per cent., paying its stock j holders 25 per cent., and turned the re mainder into the surplus. A company jthat can make such a showing has noih ing but the best of comparnies to give t its patrons. When a risk is taken by1 Ithis agency the insured can feel per fetly safe, that in case of trouble heo will be paid. There is no aizency any where that has a stronger line of comp-i anies, is will handle none but the best, they can secure other companIes that may pay better commissions and there-. Iby make more money for the company. bus the management and the directors want the safest and the best to offer the insuring public, hence the large and in I ecing volnmn of business Christrmass day passed off quietly i; Manning. The tcwn council had for bidden the shooting of fire vrackers or the streets, and the day was very incle ment, all of which had much to do witt making the day quiet The only sign! of a Christmas racket was so:) in th morning when the booze fighters werc lined un at the express office waiting for their package. The sight looked like the crowd at the ticket wagon just before the performance was tc begin at a circus. Much of the oh-be joyful was distributed, and as each one got his package he hiked out and away to the place where he would be free tc enjoy his Christmas without being m.> lested by the police. There was very little drunkenness on the streets. one or two rucuses amoog the colored ladies who had imbibed freely. and the night before some rucusing among a set of whites who had also imbibed too much of the Florida fire-water. Otherwise Manning enjoyed an ideal Christmas. Those desiring to apply for the posi. Lion of township enumerator tor the cen sus, should send their applications to Mr. W. J. Storen. Supervisorof the Cen sus, Charleston. S. C We desire it un lerstood that THE TitES editor has niothing to do with the appointments, md will make no recommendations un less asked to do so by Supervisor Storen. [f that officer refers an application to rHE TI;Es editor he will then answer he questions asked by the official. We nention this matter now because there ieems to be an impression on the minds )f a number of people that we have these ippointments in our hands. which is a nistake, nor do we wish to have any hing to do with them and will not have mny more than courtesy demands. We lave troubles of our own without adding nore to them. Therefore. stoo writing o us on the subject and communicate n your own hand writing direct to Mr. toren who is getting paid to listen to be woes of those wanting jobs. If this urgestion is acted on it will save the Lplicants postage and the anxiety of raiting for a reply from us. The legislature convenes January 11, Lud so far as we know the delegation rom this county have no local matters o get through at this session, unless it * to mske provision for the Paxville chool district, and possibly some little egislation to give the council power to ssess property for public improvements -such as sidewalks. water works and miilding up the highways- if it can be Lone without a violatior .. the consti ution, Manning will not have any patch rork concrete sidewalks. council will e given the power to force property wners to pay what is required for pub ic improvements. It was honed that it rould not be necessary to have legisla ion, and that the owners of property rould be willing for the general welfare o help pay for these improvements, but t seems that there are few who will do othing without being forced, and forc d they will be, if the conssitution will ermit, we are told by a reputable Mwyer that notwithstanding the opinion f the town's attorney, the constitution rill allow the right kind of an Act and hat it will give the vower aeeded to revent a few propertv owners from topping prorress. Last night was quite an event with Irendon Lodge of Knights of Pythias. 'he castle hall had a fairly good turn ut, one candidate took the rack of Es uire. got a good and safe deliverance ad did not ask fur any change. This eing the time for the annual election, be following were elected for the com 3g year. A. C. Bradnam, Chancellor ommander: Frank Moffett, Vice Chan ler: Dr. 3. A. Cole, Prelate: A. B.

The new Chan ellor is going to try* to infuse new life to the Lodge, and if the members give .im the aid he deserves and has a right Sexpect, there is no reason why Man iog should not have as good a Lodge s any in the State. Come Knights let s all give Brother Bradham a good trong pull for a successful administra ion for the year 1910. Itch cured in 30 minutes by Wool >rd's Sanitary Lotion. Nyer fails. Sold y W. E. Brown & Co., Druggist. Tobacco. Within the next few weeks seed beds or tobacco plants should be prepared nd no one who contemplates growing crop of tobacco this year can afford o neglect to do this important work in be most thorough manner. Last year 'HE TIMES published one of the most omprehensive enethods of doing this rork, with the result that those who llowed Lustructions secured fine plants ud good stands when transplanting. 'he unfavorable seasons made the crop oor in grades, but this was owing to reather conditions which came about t long intervals. It might be well for bose who were discouraged by last ear's crop to remember that the con itions were not local, but exter-ded over ost of the bright leaf tobacco belt, and y reason of this there is now a great carcity of good tobacco. This condition rl assure the planter better prices for fair grade this season than has been aid in years. The present high price f cotton is very attractive but it would e suicidal to neglect the tobacco crop n that account, as it. is not likely we rll have so poor a crop another year, nd it is probable that the largest acre ge will be planted in cotton this year an over before and with favorable easons a like larger crop will be pro uced. This condition would bring bout the same result of some years aclc, when cotton sold at 1i cents, fol ~wed by a year of 6 and 7 cents cotton ad we all know how impossible it is to row it at that price and make a profit n our labor. Very many of our farm rs have been at considerable expense or barns, tobacco tiues. All this would e a waste if tobacco is neglected. The necessity and inducement for rowing grain and hay crop'; have never ieen so great in the history of our coun ry as at this time. These commodities .re selling at prices that should induce heir production in grea--er quantities on very farm. The farmer wvho attempts o run his place and buy thema is likely o be confronted with a dleticit larger han he has dreamed of in years of al tost total failure in crop. Those who rill think back for a few years will alize that at no time has it been more iecessary to conserve our resources and nake the most of our opportunities by cuarding the future by past experienc Soerton Masons Meet.

We hope the whole county will turn out, there will be good addresses. The Governor and the Chief Justice will make addresses, both of these distin guished gentlemen in coming, are hon oring the people of Clarendon and we are satisfied if the weather permits the people will show their appreciation bY attending the ceremonies, and we think that wherever possible the school chil dren of the county should come here in bodies representin their communities Let the 5th day of January be a day se, apart by the whole county for the ceie bration of the :aying of the corner stone to the best and prettiest court house in South Carolina. The Confederate Mnment. The movement so long neglected has at last begun to erect a monument to the memory of the heroes who wore the gray, -soldiers whose record was the marvel of the civilized world. Clarendon now proposes to place upon the court house square a suitable mark of its pa triotism by having erected a shaft in honor of those who responded and laid down their lives upon their countiv's atar.
