The amount of cotton ginned up to January 1st., according to the National Ginners A ssociation is 14,371.000 bales, of this South Carolina sho-vs 1,50r2,000. The officers of the town of Paxville recently elected are: Mayor G. H. Cur tist Aldermen J. W. Mims, E. ML Bradham, J. M. Hicks and Dr. Thomas W. Gunter. The continuous rain last Monday amounted lo a fraction over 41 inches. No wonder it looked Tuesday morning as if the ocean had been moved up to Of Swamp. The inclement weather of the past week was hard on the rural mail car riers, and yesterday they could not make their rounds at all on account of the high water. Invitations are out for the comiing marriage of Andrew J. McElveen, for merly of Manning and Miss Lula Babenicht of Coluinbia to take place Wednesday 17th. Miss Fiossie Hitchens came from Troy, Alabama, last Thursday night and joined her sister. Miss Frances Hitebhens, and the two left Saturday for their hom-e at Pocomoke, Maryland. The high water in Ox swamp over fiowed the whole length of the cause way near Manning yesterday. com -pletely cutting o1T communication be tween town and country in that direc tion.

He will be present at the County Teachers' Association which will meet at the graded school buiiding here on Satur day. Jauary 27th. A full attendance of the association is desired on that oc casion. All whi"te teachers in the county ae urged to attend the mneeting on that day. One da~v las.t week while the roa's were sobied with. water -a veritable quagmie Mr. Hugh Creecy rur:U route carrier a: attracted oy a lat in the midcle of the roadl.

C.icy told him that he wvoula report th" mat ter to the comissionters and' have them to send the chaingan~g to dig up his horse and buggy. Thisisha Creecy gave as an excuse for beiug de firschmana is arter puttiag 1i" In Imense stock upon the market to convert: it into cash. prefering to do so rather' than to carry it over for another ssason. That he mav realize cash for his goods he has a page advertisement in this is sue which will uav our readers to look over carefully and then come to Hirsch mann's sale to buy a splendid line of! gocds cheap. Everybody knows the merchants anticipatinir a heavy fall trade bought big stocks. ther were dis- z appointed in the volumne of business. hence tbev are loaded uo with goods . and Hirscimann being one of these hrvs determined to give to 1 is customers the < benetit of his greatly reduced prices i now while they can yet make fine selec- I tions. Come to Manning and take ad vantage of his offerings Dr. J. H. Hawkins. who for Years e was the manac-er of the Dr W. E. t Brown & Co.!s drug store in this town. o has severed his connection with that v concern tnd has moved to take a like u position in the city of Aiken. Doctor c awkins ought not to have left Ian- I ning. where he and his family have so v many friends- He should have staid f rihn. here, because Manning cannot s aifford to lose good citizens, and espec- c ialiv one like him. He is gone. how- a ever, and we wish for him success. As r a pharmacist and manager of a drug t business we do not believe Hawkins v ha-i a superior. He is attentive- b and has lovable manners, which win s for him strong friends wherever he i oes, but he had no business to leave a her;. We commend Dr. and Mrs. J. t El. Hawkins to the good people of d Aiken with our rssurance that they s vll be an acquisition to their best I t Delegation Meet Commissioners. The legislative delegation met with t he county commissioners last Wednes- t lay upon invitation and listened to the I ugestions of the board. Among the ratters aiscusssd was that of the advis- e bility of establishing a system of rural a )olice. Auother subject was the pro- I >rietv of a special tax for permanent h yridges. Also whether or not the dele- il: ration should authorize the payment of a 3-50 to M r. A. P. Burgess to reimburse r II.M for having his work of re-indexina he records made good. These things vill be taken under consideration in .olumbia. but we do not think we are >etraving a secret when we say that, here is very little probability of Mr.I 3urgess getting any help from the del ation. He took the contract at a fix , price. and received his pay, but the d vork was discovered to be unsatisfac ory. and -Mr. Burgess has employed ersons to correct his mistakes. As to the rural police proposition the iriter is not disposed to favor it with ,be present lights before him: in his pinion it will amount to a cost of about, 2.000 a year to provide jobs for indi idua!s, and that the service wlil not be :onmensurate with the pay. But the nain objection is that we are in no con litioa to spend money upon experi nents. The amount of property on the - tax books is ,4,082,175. There is taken ron the taxpayers of this county for tate. County and the Constitutional 're- mill tax, $62,253.15. The special , ;chcol taxcs is not inoluded in this reek yning, therefore it is the opinion of the wrier that Clarendon can get along or a while without providing positionsj or a few, even if those few are forced :o go and do auua! labor. A few years io it requih about t 10,000 to run th isj ouuty, now it takes for the ordinary' .ur poses $18,369.7-, it. takes 88.164.33 to .ay t7e bonded iudebtedness, and S12. !40.52 for the constitutional school tax, en it must be remembered there is a ~pecial school tax in abnost eve-ry dis trit in tue county. besidesschool bonds, then too, there is at the towns still - nore taxes, in Mianning we have a 10 nil municipal tax besides licenses to do! ausiness, and when the people complain fbeing'tax burdened it is no laaghinr natter. The delegation recognizes th.e cond ions and we are sure that, wvhen they LSSemble in meeting to consider co-unty !tairs theyv will not. be prone to provid e or aothn baut what i abso;lut~eiv n ;ssary'. The fact is, t he seoato'r has made up his mind to not in riduce an' .ew icuislation at, this session, and will, ase his time trying to prevent as muc h .aw making as possible. We do not need my more laws, but we do need more :espect for such laws as we have. .Who Swiped the School Kausef Editor The M1anning Timnes:--Will ou be kind enough to allow me space to explain again what became of the Bavwood school. This is necessary be au~se I have been mierepresented, bene I propose to explain that all may know the truth. I stated sometime ago why the school was closed, which wvas in eftr. tha:t Mr. E R Piowdien has a school at his home, t~he school at Bay wood would give him more mouev to run his school at the ex pense of the taxpayers of the district. The Bay wood school house was prac tically built by Capt. D. J. Bradham, about three-fifths of it, with the under standing when it was not used fora school house it was to go back to him, but was kind enough to allow the build ig to be moved, giving us thirty days to move it; having Capt. Bradbam's perm ssion to move the building, M~r. R. E. Thompson. one of the board of trustees at the time. offered to give the ground upon which to rebuild, there-v fore we wvent to work and moved the1 school bouse on the Thompson land hop-. lag to soon start the school again, the next thing I knew 1 heard Mr. S. C. Lee, one of the trustees, tell Superi n tendent E. J. Browne that he had bought the house and paid his money therefor. What I should like to know, has a! trustee the right to sell public proper ty Has he the right to appropriate the money to his own use? This school has been ~established forty years, and for the past thr-ee years we have in this community been without a school, not because we lack the children to attend, but because, as the recor-ds in Superin tendent E. J. Browne's othee will show. that the Plowden school had 9 1-2 while the Baywood school had 9 when it was closed. Would that give them the right to cdose Baywoody' I .talked with Super intendent Browne, and he told mue the trustees have the right to close a school and sll the schoo building. But I won e- what he thinks of their closing the chool, selling the building, and not turning the pr-oceeds into the public treasury? I wish that our county super intendent would give the publico some ight on this matter through tihe col umns of the pecopie's newspapert. JOax W. HituGINS. Told Ycu So. 3Manning. S.

Mr. Tremble, the new pastor of the Summerton Presbyterian church, preached a splendid sermon at the Sil ver chapel on Sunday, December 31st. Brother Tremble is a native of Missouri, and a scholar of great ability. He is making for himself hosts of friends in his new field of labor. Mr. Jesse Ward of Sumter, spent sev eral davs of Christmas week at the home of Mr. C. C. Thames. Miss Beulah Stukes spent Christmas at Davis Station. Miss Annie Thames has returned from Jordan, where she successfully nursed a most serious and tedious case of tydhoid fever. The new firm of C. C. Way & Co., successors to Davis & Broadway, are planniog for a large business during 1912. Mr. Robert Baker, a popular mer chant of our town. has recently remod eled his homne, which adds greatly to its appearance. Tt is a matter of great regret that Mr. G. L. Broadway and family are to leave Silver and locate elsewhere. Mr. Broad way is a man of splendid character, and we hope for him and his a large meas ure of success during the New Year of Grace, 1912. Rev'. and Mrs. F. M. Cannon of Ches terfield, spent the holidays with rela tives in our town. The farmers of our community have a Rreat deal of the fleecy staple yet in the field. Christmas was quiet. There was no drinking and no rowdyism. Every one seemed to realize and feel the true spirit of the yule-tide, "Peace on earth, good will toward men." And now for 1912. Let us all meet it with brave hearts. It will bring to us many battles to fight, miny problems to solve, and likewise there will be vic tories to win. Let us learn to master our own hearts and lives. Let us also re-member that there are others. When self asserts itself too strongly we forget all else. Christ lived his life for others. his suffering not for himself, and his death for all the world. Let us love much during the year if we would crown Him King. Love can lead men to God, and the only way to win men is to fathom the innermost recesses of their hearts and cause them to think. Once upon a time there was a riot at Ephesus. brought about by a dispute over Dianna of the Ephesians who they said fell down from Jupiter There was one man, the town clerk, who by self-mastery and the logic of his apneals saved the day for law and order. He was a think ing man. Thus it has ever been. We need to learn how to think more if we would measure up to the high standard God hats willed that we should occupy. Let us all resolve to get out of the new year the very best there is in it. And if we cannot shine with the radiance of the sun let us remember: "Joy is eternal, transient, pain No life lived sweetly is in vain Dear, patient soul, though heart should break Live on, trust on for beauty's sake Your life may strength to others give, Sweeter the world because you live." F.M. C. Harmon and Economy. Columbus, Ohio, December 30.-To prevent. extravagance in governmental affairs. the Ohio Tax Commission has forced several public officers, who fixed tax rates in excess of the legal maxi mum of 1 per cent plus extras for sink ing fund aria bonded indebtedness, to s educ~e xo the proper limit. It was the first time in the annals of of Ohio government that such action had he e n raker, andr autl ority for it was obitained utnder a ja w which Gover nor Harmuon secured. Probably in no other state of the union can suc~h a re du:ilon it the public expense be made. B-fore thre preser eatr, ih-'re was no limit phicedi an the -ze of tax levies th:r: pa blic .flrers eela mnake., and the esut was that tax rates ranged from 2 to 6 per cent. and there were pros pects of higher ones. One of the first things that Gav. Bar mon save his attention to, after he was ioauurated, was to obtain a law that would place a maximum limit on the tax rate, and with power vested in a state tax commission to prevent a levy in excess of the limit. As a furthber safeguard, a limit was placed on the amount of money that. could be spent each year by public officers. The tax commission has power to remove offi cers, who violate any taxing laws. This year officials in Henry, Madison and Union counties fixed levies in ex cess of the legal limit in order to get money for improvments outof proportion to their taxable wealth, but when call. ed to book by the tax commission the oficials reduced the rate without pro test. "The taxing plan of many officials in Ohio heretofore has been to levy up to he limit and to go in debt for much more, with a patch work system of vai uation and consequent injustice," says a member of the tax comnmission "The ne w rule is to appraise all property at its true value, let no tnan or corporation escape a just share, then to make the rate low and collect the money before it is spent. With maximum limits placed on the tax rate and aggregate amount of money that officers can spend, Ohio property owners will never again have to pay tax rates of 4 and 6 per cent." "Cut your coat according to your cloth is just as good a maxim for the state as for any citizen," said Gov. Har mon in one of his messages to the gen eral assembly. For several years disbursements for expenses of the state government ex ceeded receipts--the difference being met by drawing on the balance iu the treasury. In the first two years of his administration, 1909 and 10, Gay. Har' mon had a hostile Republican genera: assembly making appropriations, and Ithe disbursements in 1909 and 10, er ceeded receipts by *1,600,000. In 1911 with a Demcc--atie general assembly, the receipts exceeded disbursements b3 $104,949.03. The expenses of the state, county, municial and township governments in Ohio had been increasing on an ayer Iage of $4,000,000 a year. But in 1911, Go. Harmon saved the tax payers that amount by obtaining one law, which stopped the increase by providing thai no more tax money should be raised and expended in 1911, than was obtained and disburred in 1910. For future years, a definite scale of percentages for in creases to take care of extra expenses caused by the untural growth of muni cipalities will prevent further enor inus increases in the cost of conducting ublic affairs in Ohio. "We have recently demonstrated it Ohi .wha a busine administratiot can do" said Gov. Harmoa to a repre sentative of the Atlanta (Ga.) Journal, "and for the first time in many years we have come through a year with a sur plus instead of a deficit. We nave done this by ridding ourselves of the holders of many unnecessary positions. In other words, we made it known that there are now no political sinecures in the state government. We have reduced the op eration of the state's departments to a business basis, and running them so, we have at last come through a year without a deficit. Better still, we have equalized taxation ana in that way lift ed a portion of the burden from the shoulders of the man who couldn't carry it." At: time in 1910 when everybody be gan ':> feel the pinch of the high cost of living, Gov. Harmon wrote a letter to the heads of Ohio institutions urging the utmost economy consistent with good management. In part the letter read: "The people of Ohio have never been disposed to be niggardly with the institutions they maintain. On the con trary, they have always wished the in mates and pupils therein to have every reasonable provision, but there is no reason why these should be better pro vided for than citizens are generally able to provice for themselves. It is only just and fair that when the people are compelled to economize and many of them to deny themselves and their families, the officers, inmates and pupils of public institutions should do like wise. Meanwhile you and the various officers and employees of your institu tion are directed at once to scrutinize with care the selection, purchase and use of all supplies, with a view to th. strictest economy. And economy means just the same in a public institution a! in a private household-going without expensive things, or using less of them or cheaper substitute. Then people of the state, whom we all serve, cannot re proach us with lack of the practical sympathy which is their due in return for their noble public charit-y which. even amid the hardships which beset them, they are willing appropriately to maintain." Dr. L. C. Taylor, of Hartford, Conn., writing about Gov. Harmon said: "The reason I believe in Mr. Harmon is not because he is a lawyer, but because he has had a business training and has shown his ability to put the right man in the right place-which is one of the most important qualities necessary in an exeentive's life. The lack of the above executive quality is what has made so many failures by men who have only had a law education, re-enforced by small politics. Study carefully each ad ministratisn and it becomes more ap parent that the executive mind makes for the good of humanity more than the judicial." Second Week Petit Jury Spring Term. L. C.

Sheets of glass that are covered with a shell-like raised pattern are in use for screens. partitions, electric light fixtures and other purposes. This chipped glass, for the pattern is often really chipped out of the surface, In volves a process that is interesting. The sheet of glass to be, trcated is placed under a sand blast in order to give it a grain. This ground surfac' is next treated with a solutidn of good glue, and the glass is placed in u dry ing room on a rack, where it remains for some hours. Next the sheets of glass are removed to the chipping room, where they are placed on edge back to back, with the coated surfaces outward. This room is heated by steam coils. and when the heat is turn ed on the glue reaches its utmost de gree of desiccation and curls off the glass in pieces from the size of a dime to that of a silver dollar, but It ad heres so closely to the glass that in its effort to get free it tears a piece off the surface, the result being a beautiful pattern.-Harper's Weekly. The Logical Name. "What a queer name for a child." said the woman who had just moved next door. "Are you sure they named it rreeze?" "Yes, indeed, and it is a most nat ural name for the child," was the re ply. "I suppose it's the outcome of a cheap joke on the father's part." sigh ed the new neighbor. "When the child is naughty he is likely to suggest a spanking Breeze." "Not at all, though Il mention that to him." said the other. "You see, the family name is Storm. Before she was married the mother's name-was Wind-Augusta Wind. Upon marriage her name became Storm. of course, making it Wind-Storm. Now, when the little girl was born they were puz zled about selecting a name- They could not agree until some one said a little Wind-Storm might be called a Breeze- The little one is just like her mother, and a little Gusta Wind is" But the new neighbor wouldn't stay to hear the rest of it.-New York Press. Getting the Eank's Help. Financial ability is not alone the power of getting moneyed men's ears and interesting "big capital." The bank Is the bulwark of small business. Given an enterprise that has a legiti mate excuse for being and available assets, if it is backed by men of integ rity, it can always command the sup port of its bank for working capital. Yet it is astounding how many small businesses start without even confer ring with a bank or banker. This Is a mistake The man who wants to finance a small concern successfully should get acquainted with his bank e, keep them in touch with the busi ness and afford them every opportunity to analyze its condition. There is no finer security than the confidence of your bank, and the cost of getting cap ital in this way Is very small indeed compared with the cost of underwrit ing more or less inflated issues of stock.-Business.
