I The lecture at the auditorium by Dr. S. A. Steel last Thursday evening was disappointing to a good many in the ~ audience who exoected much more from a man of such a ~reputation. However. he did amuse the children, and that was worth something'. Appendteitis has taken its hold upon Mr. Robert Baker of Silver, and he went to be operated on at the Mood ' Infirmary in Sumter last Wednesday. The operation was successfully per formed and Mr. Baker expects to be back home in a few days. The report of a desperado being at large in this midst last Saturday had many people wild-eyed. The negroes from the country were very much exer cised, and two men were afraid to go home, so they stayed up all night witha Mr. Tomi Tobias, the night watchman. A mule driven by.Mr. S. W. Evans of the Brewington section took fright last Thursday from a passing automo3 bile, and threw Mr. Evans Out upon the hard ground and jarred and bruised bim up considerably, but broke nothing but a bottle of medicine Mr. Evans had in his pocket The t"'en authorities are getting after the who go through town in I automobiles over the speed limit.

The new society recently organi.ed > a number of young ladies in Man nIng held a delightful meeting last aturday afternoon at the home of M iss lav Bradham. There was a very in eresting literary program. participated n by a number of the me:nbers, fol owed by dainty refreshments served )y the hostess. It is intended that the )rograms at the successive meetings will be variedi with vocal and instru nental music. and at times the musical 'eatures will predominate over the liter iry features. The society has been :amed the Literary Circle. and meet .ngs will be held at the several homc. )f the members on the second and fourth iaturdays of each month. The nextr meeting will be at the home of Miss RIia Lee Bowman. Again we should like to direct atten ion to the manner of getting appoint nents for Notary Public. An applica :ion in regular form mu,t be made. , ,which application must have the en lorsement of one of the legislative dele Zation. This must be forwarded to the zovernor. who, if he makes the aupoint ment, will have the Secretary of State o notify the applicant, and furnish him. with a blank oath. This oath must be aken ana together with the fee of $2 ent to the Secretary of State befo-e a -ommission is issued. We mention this is we are receiving money from parties nd it. necessitates us to send it back to in last week's TimES mention was nade by us of the People's blank which ad an announcement in that issue: in rrecting attention to the advertisement we made reference to the institution as eing independent. haTing no connec ion with any other bank. This is true, ut some have construed it to mean that we were hinting at one of the other anks here, which is not true. When he promoters of the People's bank were ,onsidering the possibility of establish ng a third bank, some parties from umter came to Manning and o:Tered heir assistance. These gentlemen were terested in a bank at Summeton which as being operated as a branch of one f the Sumter banks, and because of his the impression might have been nade that the People's bank is an insti ution promoted by Sumter capital. We ad no idea of trying to throw hints at be other banks now here or which may kereafter be established, but simply neant to emphasize the independence if the People's. and to direct attention o its being made up of local, or rather -ounty capital. We are informed there ill be still another bank in Manning. =d we must presume those who have aunched out into these enterprises mow what they are doing. but as we re not a stockholder in either we have o personal interest in them except a eneral interest and wish that all I them may succeed.

To interest and entertain for a while the readers of The Man ning Tiies. I will give thut a sketch of a visit to FIorila. the land of !lowe'rs. a short While My object was tO visit kindred whom I had not seen in nianv years. I boarded the train at Davis Station on the evening of Jan uary 14th. and after making all necessary train connections, we ar ived in lJacksonville, Fla.. a bout eight o'clock. after travel ing all night. We remained in .Jacksonville till nine-thirty. and then taking a train for Reddick, our destination, we arrived at two o'clock. At Reddick we were met by an uncle who has reached the good. ripe old age of four score and six years., and who is still sprightly and in possession of all his reasoning faculties. Af ter a trip of three miles we reached uncle's home and were pleasantly received, and enter tained for a good while by other1 kindred. Florida is a beautiful country < and is inhabited by a kind and hospitable people, and I will say right here, is a poor man's coua try for farms from ten acres to I farms of forty acres can be bought on easy terms. The best lands, I was told, could be I bought for thirty dollars per acre. The hammock lands is aid to be fertile and the best lands in Florida. The beautiful truck farms on these hammock lands will bear any one out in the assertion. My stay was mostly in Marion county, and Marion is said to be the banner county in Florida. [ had the pleasure of visitng Dcala, the county seat of Marion, hich is a pretty town, and ave a progressive and an en Lrprising people. In Florida I had the pleasure :f meeting several South Caro- s linians and their descendents. The crowning feature aout Florida is, ihere are very few people, both white and colored, but what own their own homes. During my stay in Florida I saw only one place that was - aid to be rented. After spending three weeks n the neighborhood of Reddick. L accompanied a son who was making a short stay at Reddick. to Tarpon Springs. Tarpon Springs is situated on a consid arable body of water known ast Bayu. In this body of water they say is several springs. This Bayou connects with the Gulf >f Mlexico, said to be about threeJ miles distant. At a point where4 the Bayou connects with the gulf, is situated a light-house. All around on the water front :f this Bayou there are many beautiful residences. with an in telligent, retined and cultured, people. Lake Butler, about two miles~ east of Tarpon Springs, is a bautiful body of water, and tooked to the writer like an >cean: and then like a lake. Lake:! Butler is said to be one and a.t nialf miles wide, by three milesli .ong. Tarpon Springs is the :nost beautiful town I saw in! lorida. and is situated in Hills >oro county, and in population. s composed of many nationali ties, and numbers about five r thousand souls. The Greeks isr ;aid to predominate in numbers t mnd is said to be the most peace- 1 ble and inotlensive people in .he world.

Occasionally a G ee oses his life from diving in deep vater and staying in the water ~oo long.

The Soldiers Who Didn't Steal the Apples Ate Them. A reprimaud which takes the fcrn of a joke is sometimes more effectual than a burst of an:er. Such an exam ple w3s furnished by a Confederate Dfficer and described by T. 0. Moore In his "Anecdotes of General Cleburne." The southern army, marching across the mountn!s of Georgia, had Its sup ply trains cut off and was obliged t-> live upon the country. Apples, chestnufs and persimmons were plenty. but the army had strict rders not to depredate upon private property. One day I was trudging along In the rear of General Gran bury's brigade when I saw down the road General Cieburne sitting on the top rail of a fInce, while below him lay five or six bushels of fine red ap ples. Near by stood a number of sol Hers, who looked as mean as men !ould look. General Cranbury saluted Genera! Cleburne. who remarked: "I'm peddling apples today." "How's that?" "These gentlemen," pointing to the oldiers who had stolen the apples. 'have been very kind. They have gathered apples for me and charged :othing. I'll give them to you and four men. Now get down and take ne, and each of your men take one >nly one. mind you-until all are ,one." The invitation was accepted, the nen cheering for "Old Pat." When he apples were gone the general mat' !ach man who had stolen the apples arry a rail for a mile or two. BATTLE WITH A BOG. Redmire's Suction Tore the Leather Gaiters Off a Man's Legs. Readers of "Lorna Doone" can never !orget the terrible drowning of Carver n the bog. That death trap Is still to )e seen In the Exmoor country, and iot long ago a valuable hunting horse was engulfed In the mire, and his rider =rely escaped with his life. S.

The author was with an official from the ordnance sur ey. who was correcting the map of he country: "In the dusk we lost our way and got nto Redmire.
