The people of Man nigwish for the Dicksons good health )and succes ntheir new home, and the come back. We heartily commend this family to the-good people of Fair Bluff, and vouch safe for their being a good acquisition to the community. The Manning Hardware Is now in its new home at the Lenard corner In the splendid store built by J. A. Weinberg, Esq. The patrons of this reputable con cern will find when they visit them in their new home, one of the best equip ped hardware stores in this section of the State, and that their stock is full and up-to-date. The object in moving was to get more commodious quarters for their increasing business which has been built up a s the result of doing business on business principles. giving to the trade the best for the least money, and by being thoroughly reli able.

St. Peters lodge of Masons instaltd their newly elected ofticers on last Wednesday evening, their names have already been published, and after the installation, and work in the Master's degree the craft repaired to the Dixie Cafe where it sat down to a sumptous supper, while the brethren were re galing themselves with the good things fore them, the retiring Master F. L.. Wolfe received a jolt by being called to his feet to be presented with a beau tiful Past Master's jewel as a token of esteem from the lodge. The presenta tion speech was made by Louis Appelt, and when Mr. Wolfe came to and found his tongue he feelingly and eloquently responded. The following statement of the as sessed value of real and personal prop erty in Clarendon county has been fur nished by County Auditor A. P. Bur gess: Value of real estate for the year 1911, $2,400,680; for 1912, 32,496.950. Making an increase for 1912 of $96,270. Value of personal property for 1911, $980,165; for 1912, $L076,255. An in crease for 1912 of $96,090. TOtal in crease of real and per:onal property for 1912 over 1911, $192,360. Number of polls for 1911, 4,968; for 1912, 5,475 and increase of 407. Number of dogs for 1911, 2,434; for 1912, 3,268-an in crease of 834. In other words, the in crease in the number of dogs in the county outnumbers the increase in the number of polls more than 2 to 1. Colored Methodist Minister Spoke. A great crowd of colored people at tended the Emancipation Celebration in the hail of the colored graded school last Wednesday, where a well arranged program was conducted Rev. H. C. DeLaine, presiding eider of the Sumter district, presided as master of cere monies. Rev. A. W. Timmons, of Jackson, Mississippi, was orator of the day; Mrs. Eddie Walker. teacher of the Good will school, read a splendid paper on "Women's Influence in the Public. Schools." Rev. Timmons made an able address, appealing to the negroes to unite on all issues for their common good, striving to make good in the fields of industry among the white people of the Soutn. He declared that the industrious negro Is a factor and will be encouraged if he will only stick to his job and make himself felt. Amony many things he said: "We must put our stamp of ap proval upon the good deeds of our peo ple and cherish the hope for a glorious future. Praise our religion and oppor tunities in the South and our God. On I the other hand we must put our stamp of disapproval on the bad deeds of the viciousclas that is disgracing the race. C Let every negro get it fixed in his mind that a bundle of flesh like Jack Johnson is a disgrace to the American negro, a brute moving around with a soul." - Timmons is a fluent speaker and a t man with great intellectual attainment. He has laid plans to build a $10,000 1 brick church in Manning. Ed. Walker, member of the board of 1 local trustees, made an appeal to the c crowd and in five minutes $25 was t raised for education. c The colored women served a barbe cue dinner in the dinning roo-n neatly arranged in the school building after the speaking. A temporary organization of the Lincoln Memorial Association was formed to perfect a permanent organ ization that will get in touch with the national movement headed by Booker T. Washington to collect data for exhi bition at the semi-.centenial-celebration of the negro race of America which takes place during the year 1913. la Meory ofMs. Mattie Stakes.1 She was all that a sweet Christian mother could be. We talked to her as our earthly comforterer and she was devoted to her children. She has spent her last days to our comfort. While we aer grieved we have the blessed assur ance that she issafe in the arms of Jesus. Her example will be one sweet memory, and her kind words shall never be for gotten. We love each furrow in thy face, The silver in thy hair; There's naught but beauty we cao trace, There is none one-half so fair; Thelove shines out from those dear eyes How-well the sign we know, Of kindness, sweetness-all that's good, Dear Mother, Mother-Mine. You nursed us through our infant years, You loved us as children,. You shared with us our hopes and fears, With counsel good and mild, And when ouberring footsteps strayed. How sad that heart of thine. You loved us better than before, Dear Mother, Mother mine. And now when those dear eyes grow dim And pain clouds that dear face, The love that you still have for us, Who oft.' times gave you pain, Will yet bear fruit-a hundred fold, in love, dear heart, like thine, More precious far than virgin gold; *Dear Mother, mother mine. Seeking Informnatlon. Editor Manning Timnes:-Will you please give me some informnation re garding the election or appointment of trustees for Manning graded school? ! If elected when and whor- is election held. If appointed, by whom?1 When once electedi or appointed, is it a life time job? PATEON. The Times editor replies to the above ! questions as follows: The trustees of the Manning graded school are appointed by the county board of education. -There is no law providing for an election of these officers. . Their term of office is the same as that of the county board, four years. The position of school trustee is not1 "a life time job," nor is it a position that should be a political plaything.

WC ri)nAnc Clerk. Report of Secretary of Agriculture. Systems of mai-keting farea products and-the demand-for them at trade cen-. ters are the subjects of a special rate to Congress by the Secretary of Agrieul ture; recently published. The report was made to special direction of Con gress in order that information might be at hand concerning the establisb- 1 ment.'of a division of markets in the de .partment of agriculture. The secretary specifies various items of service- that t could be performed by such an office, with. recommendations that they be r adopted. if it is created... The :report s covers 391 pages and is crowded, with information witb regard to the subjects treated. . t BY PRODUCERS TO CONSUMERS.: The report treats of the movement of b farm products froni=the: farm to con sumer through a great variety of chan- f nels. 'The simplest distribution is the direct-one of delivery byfarmer to con sumer,- andnext after this is the deliv- t ery by-individual farmers or associa- t tions of farmers to individual consumers or associations of consumers. In these n direct forms of distribution,.tbe middle- I man is eliminated, although of course i, intermediate services are performed either by producers or by consumers or a by both parties. b INTERVENTION OF MIDDLEMEN. fi Among the varieties. of middlemen 1% concerned in the marketing of farm products are the traveling hucksters o who go from farm to farm gathering eggs, butter, poultry, calves, nd other it commodities, which they sell to ship pers, jobbers,, or retail dealers.' -The v country -irehants is often the first re- a reiver of such products as eggs, farm- k made butter, poultry, wool, hides, cot- A ton, and sometimes grain and hay In regions where grain is the staple prod uct, the tendency has been to displace the country merchant by the grain buyer and the local elevator man. Farmers commonly sell through com mission merchants and to some extent lirectly to wholesale dealers and also b1 o retail dealers. The farmer who em Aoys a trustworthy commission mer :hant who will handle his products V ionestly and honorably will get the urrent prices for them within the ange of the commission merchant's >usiness, but the farmer often-finds him elf in the hands of a commission mer :hant who faisely reports that the prod- h4 acts were received in damaged condi ion or that they were of a grade lower ban ttcy were in fact, or he reports re eivine priceslower than those actually eceived by himfor the products. Worse han this, it is by no means rare that a he commission merchant bas sold the products and failed to return the net >roceeds. Samples of transactions in wbich only w ine middleman intervenes between pro lucer and consumer include the com nission man at a laige market who re- s aeives consignments of live stock from armers and sells to packers; the factor 1a o whom the planter consigns his rice ir cotton and from whom purchases are S ade by millers; the warehousemen rho manage the sale of a Virginia planter's tobacco. The intervention of two men between roducer and consumer is a common oc urence. Fruits and vegetables are often nareted through the aid of two mid llemen, the city commission dealer and retail merchant. MORE THAN ONE INTERMEDIARIES. A series of three middlemen may in lude first the local buyer of the ship er; second, the commission dealer or B he wholesale merchant; and third; the etail merchant. In the sale of fruit by ,nction, which is common in large cit es east of the Mississippi river, the auctioner is an additional middleman. te Xe may seli for a commission dealer, to n' hom the consignment may have been B nade by a country buyer; and the pur haser at such an auction may be a job- I per, who In tnrn sells to a retail mer-a hant. Five middlemean are thus con- mI erned in such a transaction. al Onions raised in Kentucky are some.-b ies bought by a local mercbant and .4 hipped to Louisville; here they may be 1 h mt into sucks and consigned to a New t' rork wholesaler or a commission man t rho in turn sells to a New York- retail- g ir. Eggs and poultry frequently pass brogh the hands of at least four mid- de llemen. The marketing of clover seed is an. tiample of a transfer from one farmer o-anoter through a number of mid- - Llemen. The first middleman may be an :ndiana jobber, who consigns to a comn nission dealer in Toledo, Ohio; here he seed may be purchased by a mer- tc hant and shipped to a wholesale dealer B n a distant city. The last middleman n this course of distribution is a coun- tC r storekeeper or a city dealer in agri- P ultural supplies. li ,ARKET PLACES AND WAREHOUSES. t Public market places are established 0 n a number of cities and towns, and in it hese places consiumers may buy such d< 'ticles as fruit, vegetables, dairy prod- fc ets, poultry, and eggs direct from farm- te irs as well as from dealers. . t Another institution which aids the it roducer to dispose of his crop is the ublie warehouse. Illustrations of this bre afforded in the marketing of to- - acco in Virginia and North Caroiiba, . sool from the northern Rocky Mountain It tates, and to some extent rice in Louis- T, ana and Texas. The growers or their ti -presentatives, with their produce, l( neet the buyers at these warehouses-. DIVERSION IN TRANSIT* ki While farm products are in transit by ct 'ail. there are certain points at which w he consignor may desIgnate a final des-- ec ination. Tbe purpose of this practice pi s to enable the consignor to find the ti yest market for his goods. This is theg >lan followed in shipping fruits and se regetables by rail from California to fr he East and from Southern States to w e North ASSOCIATIVE M1ARKETING. The Secretary of Agriculture h as ti n c h to say'- concerning associative p narketing by farmers, and the eco- w iomic advantages are stated in- detail. o 'A survey of the systems of marketing o arm products clearly -discovers -what c< he farmers can best do to their advan- fa age. They must associate themselves sC ogether for the purpose of assembling ci heir individual contributions of prod- pa jts, of shipping In carload lots, of oh aining market news at places to which ei .t is practical to send their products, to e ;ell in a considerable number of mar-p lets, if not in many markets, and to se- o :ure the various other economic gains ~ f associative selling." b To carry out this suggestion, it is rec- tJ >mmended that if Congress establishes a division of markets, a coprs of travel- s< .ng field agents be maintained to assist ti 'armers to form associations for market- t' ng their products. n STIMATES OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLE i SUPPLY. -b It is also recommended that estimates f the prospective supply of fruits and regetables, and perhaps other products| ot now representea in the quantitative h rstimates of the department's crop re- c porting service, be made a short time e before harvest, so that the farmer m-ay le "have in mind a fairly definite idea of o the volume of the crop throughout the g country in order that he may occupy a c< place in the market that is fair to him- b self or, as the cas6 may be, a place in i the market that is fair to the consumer." t1 General market news service is not e recommended. If such service were de- b rived from telegraphic reports, the ex- t1 pense would be enormous. One farmer's t association spends $25,000 a year in tele- p graphing alone and a fruit growers' or- t: ganization spends $75,000,000 for this p service. p FIELD AGENTS AND CORRESPONDENTS.1 It is proposed that a corps of travel- r ing field ageuts arid a large corps of lo ,.l agentsand correspondents be estab-i AferPAXVI LLE.

H. LESESNE, Special Referee. hed for the following items of service: a help producers organize for associa ye marketing; to examine and remove cal difficulties in the way of such mar ting; to help producers to find mar t~s: to report the current descripsive mition of crops, in addition to the ork already (lone by the department's -o reporting service; to estimate the robable production of crops a short me before harvest; to report the be. ining and ending of the shipping ason; to report the crop movement om producing points through "gate iys" to principal markets. SUBJECTS FOR INVESTIGA TION. Among the subjects whose investiga on is suggested are the storage of farm ~oducts either on the farm or else. here pending their Sale; the business commission dealers; the various costs marketing, properly itemiized, and >mpa red w.ith prices of products atsthe .rm and with consumers' prices; a de. ription of principal markets and of ief producing i egions; and, s om e roblems of transportation. Some information with regard to for. n markets, it is advised, might be ade useful to producers. It is propos. sed also to keep an elaborate record prices of farm products in which rices at the farm shall be paralleled y wholesale and retail prices. Among i other recommendations are the aintenance of a list of marketing as >ciations and the collection of statis s concerning the business done by tem the investigation of systems ol arketing farm products in other coun its, with special attention to those tatures which it may be assumed might e adopted beneficially in this country. PROPOSAL TO AID CONSUMERS. The Secr etary of Agriculture closes is recommendations by making one oncerning the participation of consum rs in the solution of marketing prob. ms. "A cheapening of farmers' costs fmarketing v'ill naturally result ir an to the producer rather than to the nsumer. If the consumer is to gain y changes in the costs of distribution, seems probable that he must do sc irough cheapening or eliminating iosts at his end of the chain of distri ution. The consumers can cheaper ie costs of farm products by co-opera te buying and by reducing the ex enses of retail and other local distribu ion. The consumler's aspect of the roblems of the distribution of farrr roducts is a conspicuous one at the resent time, and problems in distribu ion tnat are concerning the consumer ather than the producer may well be ciuded within the service of a divis an f markets." eK PAREL PC Any information wanted regarding age and such will be gladly gived at tb building.
