In our last week's issue an unfortu mase error was made in announcing the death of a citizen of New Zion, instead of it being Mr. John E. Morris that died It was Mr. Johin E.

The Zeizler's had a free entertain ment last Friday at their drug store at which they dispensed soft drinks and ice cream as samples, and there were people drinking fizz water without money and without price that never -bought a nickle's worth in their lives. However, it was a good- advertisement, ma ne tat should bring returns. The regular montbny meeting of the Woman's Home M issionary Society. Mauning Auxiliary, will be held at the Methodist church Friday, April 15th, 4:30 o'clock p. m. We earnestly re quest all the members to be present. N isitors alwavs welcomed.

Eadon's store and stock of general me-:handise, located on the Sar.ee road below Davis Station. were destroyed by fire about I o'clock last Saturdav. The origin of the fire is un known. as there had been noone about the building for some time. The loss on the building and sock of goods was about $4.000, on which there was insur ance to the amount of $2,850. An innovation has been announced by Rev. L A. Cooper, of thbi Bantist church. He has arranged a nursery, hiving employed an old "mammy" to take charge of all the babies brought to church If any mother has been staying at home because of the baby she need not'do so in the future. Bring the baby and turn it over to the old "mammv" and then go in and enjoy i meeiing. Live Oak Camp which was to hare had its regular meeting last Monday night, on account of the absence from town of some of the officials, it was de cided to postpone the meeting until next Monday evening at 7:30 o'clock. and as there will be degrees conferred. it is requested that every member he present. Formal notices of the da:e for the meeting were sent ou-of-town members by Clerk Nimmer. Monday 18th inst.,is the meeting night. The worst start in life a boy or girl can make is to cultivate idleness. Far better for a community, as well as for youth's future, if every girl would find something to do-housework, sewing, office work. stenography, bookkeeping, anything honorable-and every boy, rather than loaf, idle and gossip. would do something, even if he earned but twenty-five cents a day. To see young men 'killing time" stamps them black for future perferment.-Echange. Now the town has a new council we hope there will be a more economical administration of affairs, not that there should be less money spent, but what is spent, let more good come from it. We hope there wil be no more giv ing away the people's money to have little tree cutting superintended and have that class of work looked after by the police who are' not everburdened with work. Then. too, we hope the laws of the town will not -be secreted from the public, and that when an ordinance is enacted the public will be informed without having to nose the telephone poles or the out of the way door of the town's shanty, farcialiy called the town ball. The Democratic clubs throughout the county will meet on the 23rd, inst. to send delegates to the county conven tion which assembles on May 2nd. It is important that thd club meetings be well attended and that the proper men be sent to the county convention. True, there are no vital issues, but then - we cannot afford to lose interest in the organization, hence an interest should be manifested At the county conven tion a member of the State executive committee Is to be selected, and this should be a man who will amtend the meetings of that body. There is also to be chosen a county chairman and eight delegates to the State convention, which convention will formulate the laws to govern the party. Do not lose sight of the club meetings on the 23rd. The election for Mayor and board of Aldermen .was held last Monday, when 237 votes were polled. A great deal of interest was manifested in the Ma race, there being twoesdaesfor oube, Mr. Allen C. Brabap- an Alder. man with the old council and acting Mayor,-and Capt W. C Davis. It is said~ that some bettidg was done by friends of the rival candidates on the resuzt of the election.. There were eleven candidates for the six places in the concil, and to simplify the matter of voting all eleven names were printed on atl the tickets with in stcione to the voters to scratch fie names that they did not wish to vote for. One set of tickets was headed with the name of A. C. Bradham for Mayor. while the other set of tickets was head ed with the name of W C. Davis f'r Mayor. Of the 232 votes that were polled, 19 were protested, and of the 218 remain ing balot, A. C,.Bradham received 118 and W. C. Davis 100r Of the 19 protest ed votes 15 were for Bradham and 4 for Davis. As Mr. Bradham had a major ity whether the protested ballots be thrown out or not, the protests were withdrawn and there will be no contest. The six Aldermen elected, in the order of the number of votes received, were as folbows: E. C. Horton, S. Oliver O'Bryan, David Levi, E S. Ervin, W. P. Legg. and S. M. Reardfen. The new council will be inducted into office torno.-row. Note Developmentsia !helps Case. Since last week there have been sev eral interesting developments in the esas , i.. W. Phelps and it is hinted that tirre may yet be forth-coming some disclosures more or less sensation al. This mqph Is certainly true: That there is another Mrs. Phelps and that no proceedings for divorce had been in sntuted. On Sunday night Mrs. Phelps No. 1 arrived here from Greensboro, N. C., and registered at the Kellahan Hotel. Sh~states that having had no intima tion or warning of what was to take place, she was shocked at the news of her hsads "marriage." At first, she said, she intended to have no further communication with him. but when she learned later that her husband lay ill and friendless at a hotel, forsaken by the .woman who had displaced his law ful wife, her womanly instinct told her that her place was at his side, since in her marriage vows she had solemnly promised to "forsake all others and cleave unto him." Mrs. Phelps produc ed unooubted evidence that she and Mr. Phelps had been legally married in Forsythe county, Ga., twelve years ago. She is a refined-booling, comely littie woman, apparently about 35 years of age, and seems to feel keenly the un pleasant notoriety which has been fore ed upon her. Meantime Mhr. Phelps' condition is practically unchanged. Confined to his bed with one side paralyzed, be is total ly helpless and seems to be improving but slowly. As long as he is in this con dition his wife says that she deems it her duty to minister to his comfort. Sheriff Graham has recently received letters from parties at Greensboro, the home of Mr-s. Phelps, who speak of her as a very estimable lady.. This side of the case is pathetic in deed and one cannot but sympathize with the wronged wife who is thus call ed upon to bear the burden of her hus band's folly and misdoing.-Kingstree Record. Club Notice. The Summerton Democratic Club is hereby requested to meet at the Sum merton Academy, April 23rd, 11 o'clock a.m.,for the purpose of reorgcanizing and electing a member to the County Exe cution Committee, also delegates to the County Convention on the 2nd day of May. Each Club is entitled to one dei egate to every 25 members and one del evate for every majority fraction there of. A. i. RICHBOU~RG. Chairman. Dr. King's New lfe Pills Tb. Eme b es I m the world sumter Lanes Bushwa'd. Some weeks ago a well-dressed fellow giving his name as Prof. J. A. Goodwin. .a clairvoyant and palmist, opened up parlors at No. S S. Sumter street for the purpose of reading palms and fore telling the future for those who bad a desire to look into the future. He ad vertiscd that he was born with a double veil, and had during the twenty year, he bad been in the business performed miracies bordering unon the supernat tural. He claimed to be the truest psychic seer that ever lived, stxl alone in hi. magnificent power of reading the future of humankind. Without asking oie question he could tell who are your friends. enemies or ri vals, whether %our busband, wife or sweetheart is true er false: how to gain the love of the one you most desire, even though miles away; how to succeed in business law suits: how to marry the one of your choice. He gave advice in love. marriage. business, speculation. investments: gives dates, facts. figures. He tells your secret troubles. their cause and remedy, in fact tells evervthing. Gives infallib'e advice on all affairs of life. He made a specialty of aid ing in in vestments, being ever ready to help those with capital, large or small, to find a safe and good paving investment. This be offers to do and asrs no fee un til the investment proves to be a hand somely paying one. His mysterious hidden power makes you master of your own destiny. He pos itivelv reunites lovers. causes speedv and happy marriage, with your choice, removes all evil influences. He claimed to be endorsed by the leading men and women in the land. Of curse he would hold all business sacred and conddential and guaranteed satisfaction. He made a very reasonable fee, charging fifty cents and $1 for or dinary readings of the palm. but in cases of violent love, or strenuous busi ness, the fee was only 5. It is said that he did a land office bus iness, his customers. or victims having te wait for hours for their turn to be re lieved of their money. He was consulted by all classes from the lowly negro. who had to make spec tal arrangerients to meet him at some other place, to the society belle in her silks and satins. His parlors were pop ular from 9 a. m., to 9 p. m. No special attection was paid to the "Professor" except by those who were desirous of looking into the hidden fu ture, that only time can reveal,. until after he had gone- Then it transpired that he had been "conjuring" some money and some of this patrons were sad but wiser, to the tune of several hun dred dolars. One story is current that one business man in Sumter wanted to make an in vestment and consulted the "professor." about it, paying him a fee of $5. One of the requirements was that the money to be invested should be placed in. the "professor's" haeds. He must handle every piece of it. That would give the money good luck, and it would go out to make the investor wealthy. This particular Investor got together $700 and carried it to the clairvoyant, who handled it, every piece, and wrap ped it up, riving it to the victim to put into his safe and keep it till the next day. The next day the money was taken out and carried to the swindler, who took it out and counted it. The money had doubled in value during the night. He did not say how it had happened, and the confiding victim could not see into it, but it looked good to him. The money was again wrapped up and de posited in the safe and counted aid anothor increase was noted. This pro ceeding went on for several days, the victim believing all the time that he rwould soon be made a rich man. The final test came last Tniursday. The money was to be counted for the last time. The swindler went so far as to give the victim a $10 note to go to the bank to get it changed, thus show ing that the money was not counterfeit. but good and lawful currency. The money was bundled up for the last time, and the swindler, who was ac companied by a confederate, passed the packae around his head several times, all the time muttering uninteijigible, mystic expressions. He then thrust the package into a pitcher, and in a mo ment, or two took It out and gave it to the investor to again put in his safe, there to remain till a certain date when it was to be opened, and all the money found in the package was to be his. The money w'as very carefully put away and guarded faithfully that noth '-g happen to b-eak the spell. After the time set., the package-was opened and all that was found was some worth less paper. Rumor has it that this man was not the only victim, but that there were several. It is claimed that Sumter peo ple was swindled out of several thous and dollars in just this way. None but the victim mentioned above ever said anything about it, however, keeping it to themselves. In the meantime, the "Professor," who had been doing such a flourishing business, separating honest, confiding people from their coin, pulled out be tween suns and went to parts unknown. It is a mystery that people in this day and time could be duped in that man ner. It hardly seems possible that a man could .ome into Sumter in this day and time and work a skin game like that. But he did, and that is all there is to it. There is a lot of superstition in this world. There are some who will not sit ,down to a table with thirteen, nor will thzey begin a journey on Friday. They will not go fishing if a rabbit crosses thes road in front of them and they make a cross mark and spit in it when they have to turn round and go back. The people that lost in this swindle were taken in by believing in just such fool isnes Those who were victims must have been hypnotised in some way. The shrewd artist, who was on to his busi ness had made them believe that he had all power over the future, and be lieving him they were willing to trust him. Now they see it that he could not possibly help them in any way. It is passing strange how people will flock to a palmist, or clairvoyant and pay good money to fore-tell the futtre. But they will do it.-Sumter Item. Sammerton News. Editor The Manning TImes: The Southern Spring being coinci dent with the return of the planting season is identified largely with renew ed activity in the business world: and vet there is a suggestion underlying the~ 'word itself that seems to establish a li cense for out-door sports and excursions. Our papers of the past two weeks have with more or less prominence given a place to the accounts of picnics and fish fries. Naturally, so closely accessible are they to several points of interest and quite a number of good fish ponds, Sumimertonians are no exception to the rule. With rod and reel, in buggy, wagon, and even automobile they are passing from all directions en route to various points on the river. Not a great many claim any unusual luck so far, and with their friends of the farm and gar den are anxious for some rain. The above reference to the automo bile suggests further mention of its in creasing popularity in this community. Dr. L C. Stukes is the most, recent, pur chaser: and we must needs conclude from the frequent visits of agents that there are others. The local agency re ceived a number of new machines last week, and are enthusiastically demon stratingr. News was received here Saturday thiat the general merchandise store beleng ing to .\r. J. R.

Editor The Manning Times This wanderer heartily sanctions the position taken by your paper on law and order. We think we can see the day star rising when we read such editorials as contained in a recent issue of your paper This writer in wandering, to and fro over the earth, can see the great need of men who will stand for justice. There is to be found much in the land to make the hear, throb with optimism; and yet a great deal to cast, a gloom over an ambitious life. Many men of many minds. seem to be a true statement of prevailing conditions, not vox populi vox del est. This scribe passes, occas ionally, through a beautiful section of country called Brogdon, he always finds here the reign of peace and quietude. But even in this delightful farming sec tion, we can see the many minds. A preacher living in the cinmmunity is trying to grow two rows of corn, where only one ought to be. while his next door neighbor is trying to grow one row, where two should be. Wen shall we reach a state of perfect adjustment any way? The people of this community though. are paying very little atten tion to the great problems which seem to be devouring ofaer parts of the coun try. With the comtog of last Wednesday, the long looked for day arrived: and at 5 o'clock p. m., at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. J. L Broadoo, Mr. Frank Wells of Sunimerton and Miss Susie Brogdon. were joined in holy wedlock. The beautiful honte of the bride's par ents was artistically decorated. The parlor in green and pink, and here was gathered a large crowd of relatives and friends, to witness the occasion. Pre paratory to the entrance of the bride and groom, was a song by Miss Sudie Stukes. Then came Mendelsohn's wed ding march by Miss Grace Brogdon; during which tre bride and groom en tered and faced Rev. J. R. Funderburk, the officiating minister. The bride was dressed in a beautiful gray traveling suit, with gloves and shoes to match. After the vows had been taken, the crowd was ushered into the large din ing room by Mrs. Lillie Proctor the bride's sister, where fruit punch and a delicious salad course were served. The dining room was beautifully decorated in green and white, which presented a lovely scene. A great number of costly presents were tokens of the esteem in which the bride was held in the com munity. On Monday before, the bride was given a linen shower at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Rlackwell, where a number of friends gathered to show their appreciation of the bride by bring ing a good supply of linen, and after an enjoyable evening refreshments were served to make the occasion one to be long remembered. The bride and groomt went to their home at Summerton im mediately after the ceremony on Wed nesday evening. Tbey carried with them the best wishes of a large circle of friends. PNEtxA. Brogdon, S. C., April 9, 1910. Pinewood Dots Editor The Mannine Times: On last Friday evening the graded school auditorium was a scene of mirt~h and merriment. A large audience was gathered at an early hour to witness a minstrel performance given by local talent. The cast consisting of the fol lowing gentlemen: Messrs. W. B. Gar rett, A. P. Toomer, Henry Richardson, C. M. Huggins, Clyde Giddings, Fred Griffin and John Spain. The program, consisting of two short plays intersper sed with coon songs and jokes had beenr --efully arranged, and the local hits enicised rounds of applause. All amateur performances are credited with being "fine," but a professional critic pro nounced this far beyond the average non-professional, untutored production. The net proceeds fully compensated the the cast for the time and trouble they had expended. The same entertainment will be given next Friday ever.ing in Summerton and pe'rhaps later in other towns. Owing to the unparelleled drought the farmers are having a lazy time. It is perhaps two months that this condi tio'n has existed, and planting is there fore impossible The regulati'on April showers will certainly be welcome. Clouds of dust render walking almost impossible. Coit,, the little two year old son of Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Chapman, died early Saturday morning after a protracted ill ness. Interment took place on Sunday afternoon in Calvary Churchyard. The sympathy of the community goes out to the bereaved parents. The lovers of soft drinks hail with de ight the advent of a soda fountain. For this new enterprise in Pinewood, we are indebted to Mr. H. G. Ellwell, who can not fail t~osucceed, as his store will soon become a favorite rendezvous of the fair sex and their gallant beaus Mrs. Carrie Blroon of Wedgefield. spent Sunday here on a visit to Mrs. R. M. Brailsford. Messrs. E M. Garrett and F. D. Far row of Fountain Inn, are spending awhile with Prof. W. B. Garrett. Mr. Harry Geddings. who is attend ing a business college in Columbia. spent Mond.s. in town on a visit to rel atives. T. P. A. Pinewood, S. C.. April 12. 1910. Teacher's Examination.

Haliet & Davis Co., of Boston, Open Branc Store in Sumter. I The opening of a store in Sumter byv the famous Ballet & Davis Piano ('o . of 'koston. Nlas,... i. a matter of great interet to the musical people of thi! city and vicinity. This. the countr%' oldest piano manufacturing concern. incorporated in 1835. has supplied many of t.e world's greatest artists with their piano,!. They have supplied many per sons in Sumter and vicinity during the past 60 years and the op-ning of thi, store is with a view to ,upplying the ever increasing demand for their piano, here. At pre-ent they are located in the Savoy where they have on exhibition the largest and most complete stock of pianos ever seen in this section of the country. These in.truments during the next ten days will bw sold at the factory prices in order to induce a large volume of business and judging from the lively appearance of the warerooms and the pianos being delivered to customers the present stock will not last the ten days. Mr. S. 1. Till. of Manning. is the lo cal representative for the Hallet & Davis Co.. and is very popular in mui cal circles. Mr. Till has decided to make Sumter his headquarters and will maintain a store here permanently. When interviewed this morning Mr. Till said that the Grand Factory Sale now going on is a much greater success than was anticipated and declared most emphatically that after the 10 days are over all pianos will be sold at the reg ular retail price. He said the people of Sumter are quick to take advantage of a good thing as his first carload was snapped up in short order and another is now being rapidly depleted. Mr. Till is being assisted by Mr. H. H. Macdonald of thc. Hallet & Davis Co.. who is one of the factory experts and a pianist of more than ordinary ability. Mr. Macdonald is a thorough piano maker and extends an invitation to everyone interested to visit the store and see how pianos is rightly made. Mr. Macdonald is loud in his praises of Sum ter and its people and expressed regret that his business would take him away from here at the end of this sale.-Sum ter Daily Item. BUSINESS LOCALS.
