In Manning Christmas was as quiet as the ordinary Sunday, with the exception of an oc casional popping of a fire cracker. Martius Smith, the twenty year old son of United States Senator Smith, was accidentally shot on Christas day on his father's farm near Lynchburg, and died Monday night. The body was taken to St. George for interment. Governor Blease paroled J Y. Gar lington for three days in order that he may visit his Ill father at Laurens. This was a very humane aot on the part of the Governor, and we hope the news papers which criticise his acts will not do soin thscase. . The parcels post begins today, and it will be well to remember that the gow ernmeni requires the parcels P0o5 stamps to be used on packages. the or dinary stamp will not be accepted. So when you want to send ogf a package do not fail to be providea with the parcels post stamps. CoL J. McSwain Woods and his bride of Atlanta, were in Manning Saturday on their return home from a visit to Mr. Woods' parents, Dr. and Mrs. I. Mi. Woods at Sardinia.

The people of the Bloomville section are considerably workred up over the appearance of a mad dog on the prem. ises of Mr. Jeff Hoiday last Friday, that bit several meat hogs which were soon to be butchered. The hogs were bitten about the nose, the dogs went on to Mr. C.. H. Bagget's and bit several hogs there. Mr. ~agett brought the head of the dog to Manning to be- sent to Columbia for examination but reach ed- here too late for the morning trair .o he sent itthe next day. The government declined to permit Ex-President Castro of Veoezuta, to land in New York, whicb angered him and he will return to Europe. Old Cip has bad a hard time bf it since be was deposed from the presidency of Venezu lean government. He is truly a man without a country. Sumter. has employed a municipal manager, and we will bet doughnuts to dollars that its government will not be run more efficiently than our town got ernment with as little money. Man ning is not heavily bonded and it is be ing run as economically as any town in the State of its size. - Benlah Lodge of Masons at Olanta installed the following officers Friday: J- M. Knight, W.

This measure will have a provision that will eliminate te office from politics and it will be ontrolled by the pronerty owners ask ig for the system. It Is well known hat the rural police system. as opera ed in somieof the counties does not ap peal to thej'udgmnent of the senator, ut he lill'ing to give the people a police system If they desire it.

Troy, S W.; C. M. Mason, 3. W.; J. Q. Mathis, Treas.; J. . Lanham, S.ety.; M.L. Shirer, S. D.; Fred Barnes, 3. D.; P. J. Holladay, S .; H. C. Carrigan. Jr., J. S.; Jas. E. Iennant, Tiler. After the installatfor, when the lodge closed, the fraternity marched to the home of Mine Host, J. Q. Mathis, who out-did himself in the annual banquet. It was a scene of peace and harmony; brotherly love personifi ed. The past year has been a prosper ous one with this lodge; 63 degress con conferred; $148 Grand Loage dues. The lodge is opposed to increasing the mem bership fee, which would be almost equivalent to makring the new members pay for additional amount, required be fore beginning oe Masonic nome. A live secretary at each lodge, would soon raise the balance required, and it is truly to be hoped that all the secretar ies will soon get busy. - motn haportant.

Dear Sir: Examination of the- head of the dog sent by you shows that the dog had a well developed case of rabies. Your hogs should therefore be slaughtered at once if you wish to use them at all.

The amount of cigarettes used in our country isaliiot. iner-dible, it being stated that 11.221.624.084 cigarettes were consumed in 1912. nearly 2,000, .000.000 more than in: 1911. The treas ury dfficials are unable to. account for the enormous increase. It is impossi hle to conceive the vastness of the in jury, extensive and thorough, that is constantly being *rougbt by these evils among young and old in social and even in business and educational spheres.

All Parcels Must Have Parcels Post Stamps on Them After January First. The parcels post laws, of which so much has been written in the papers and said during the past two years, is anout to go into effect. On January 1st, and thereafter all parcels, or fourth class matter must have parcels' post stamps on t.ham or they will be held at the p sttlice until the new ow,..er can gall for tnem and. provide the special stampsJor the package. The local pou.tofiee has received a sup ply of the parcels post stamps.and will place them on sale on January 1, 1913, whnet parcels post law goes into effect. After that time any stamps on packages other than parcels post stamos.will be useless. The parcels post provides for the carrying through the mails of all parcels containing mailable matter weighing less than 11 pounds. The rate has been fixed in the regulations and varies according to the zone to which the package is sent, there being eight zones in the United States. In the local zone the rate is cheapest and the cost of sending the packages increases with the distance it is sent. All packages'sent must be delivered at the poswffice where they will be weighed, and the proper stamps provid-, ed. No parcel can be registered, al though provision is made for insuring it at the same cost as for registering packages heretofore. No parcel must exceed 72 inches in combined length and girth to he sent tbrough the mail. One of the provisions of the parcels post is that all parcels must contain the name and address of the sender, no par eels being sent unless these are provid ed. The inauguration of the pareels post service means a great deal of extra trou ble and work to the postottice clerks. especially while they.are learning the rates, of which there are thousands and which to begin with, must be lookedl up for eacn package. Maps of the zones have been provided, tape measures for measuring parcels. a special pair of scales to weigh packages, stamps and insurance tickets have all been provid ed for the use of the postoffice employ ees when the new law goes into effect.

The power of discipline and prece dent in the army cannot be appreciated by civilians.' At a two company post n the west some years ago a captain of infantry was in command, as his ommission was of older date than that of the captain of cavalry also there.' The two captains hate each other, but, of course, preserved the usual amenities in official Intercourse. One day the senior captain ordered the junior to take a file of men to the for est- and cut the firewood needed for winter. This duty ordinarily would have been given to a sergeant, but the junior captain had no recoursesand was obliged to obey. Just as he got outside the post the mail, which came only at gtervals of a week or more, arrived, and the cavalry captain stopped for letters. One of these brought him his ommission as major. He at once is sued an order taking command of the post and another assigning the wood hopping duty to the late commandant. "Not One Cent For Tribute." The copper piece with the legend, "Millions for defense, not one cent for tribute," is not a coin at all, but a eda! commemorating .our troubles with France during the Napoleonic wars. Resenting our Jay treaty .with Great Britain, made while George Washington was president, and angry because we would not .take sides in hose wars, France in 1797 began to attack our merchant ships, and we came very near becoming involved in war with her. We sent a commission over to try to arrange the trouble, and he French prime minister, Talleyrand, gave them to understand we could ar range It only by paying a bribe or nmang a loan to the Frenchgovern ment. To this It was said that Charles Cotesworth Pinckney of South Caro ina, a member of our commission, re plied in the-words quoted on the med l. This he denied, however, his re ply being simply, "No, no, no; not one sixpence"_________ Singular Use For Bread. Bread is used for many purposes, but the most singular use may be seen in some of the great watch factories. More than forty loaves of fresh bread are required each day In one such fac tory. It-appears that from the earliest times in the history of watchmaking It has been the custom of watchmnaker's to reduce fresb bread to the form of dough by steaming and kneading. They use this dough for removing oil and chips that naturally adhere In the ourse of manufacture to pieces as small as the parts of a watch. The oil Is absorbed by the dough and the chips stick to It, and there is no other known substance which can be used as a wiper without leaving some small portion attached to the thing wiped. Alpine Climbers. In the earlier part of the nineteenith entury many even of those who had been up Alpine peaks themselves de nounced the sport. Regarding the ascent of Mont Blanc, Murray's Hand book In the year 1838 stated that "all who have succeeded have advised no one to attempt It'" and nearly twenty years later noted the "remarkable fact that a large proportion of those who have made this assent have been per sons of usound mind." Once U pon a Time In France. There was a time in France. when a foolish actress who was ambitious enough to want a decoration and so Ill advised as to make application for It to one or the ministers was punished by imprisonment It was during the reign of Louis XV., and the first gen ieman In waiting of his majesty wrote this to the governor of the Fort lEveque prison: Dear Slr-Having been Informed that Mile. Clairon has had the insolence and has been mad enough to solicit one of the king's decorations, to which neither her sex nor her profession entitles her, I'wvrite you this letter In the name of the king. You are to lock her up in your good prison of le Fort i'Evcque and make things suf iclently uncomfortable for her to teach her a lesson. Every evening, however. one of your men will have to conduct her to the Comedle Francaise in order that the public shall not bo deprived of the pleasure of applauding the talent of this Indiscreet woman. Maybe He Had None. Rex Beach was at the dress rehearsal -f one of his plays, and he was there to see that everything was done ex actly right. In one scene a member of te cast failed to pull down .his cuffs as was stipulated in the stage direc tions. "Wait one minute!" exclaimed Beach, prancing out to the middle of the stage and interrupting the rehears al. "Halt~ right where you arel Haven't I told you to pull down your cuffs?
