We would suggest to some of the lady teachers to g ive this matter consideration, and get into comnunication with the authori ties at Winthrop with regard to the matter. We believe if the club propo sition is properly handled, Clarendon would soon be the banner tomato coun ty in tho State, and it would be the means of establishing a cannery here. Ladies get at this now. The Times editor expects from time to time to make common's upon the several Acts of the recent general as sembly, esnecially the vetoes of the Governor, and would begin this week, but bis Journal has not yet reasched him, it was to be expressed in time for him to use it this week and it has not arrived, however he will go to Colum bia tomorrow, and bring it home with him when he returns. It is his pur ose to publish the reasons why the Governor refused to approve certain Acts, which the daily papers did not do. We believe the people are en titled to snow these reasons, an dos far as we can we shall put them in pos sesion of the full facts. Rev. G. P. Watson announces a treat for the people of Manning and of the surrounding country. This State is to be canvag'ed by a team of three emi nent missionary ministers. Of the fourteen points to be touched by these gentlemen. Manning is one. The team is composed of Dr .T. L. Kennedy, mis sionary to Brazil, Dr. E. H. Rawlings, missionary and secretary and Bishop W. R Lambuth, returned from Africa. Addresses will be delivered in the Methodist church Wednesday, 12th inst., at $ o'clock p. in., Thursday at 4 and 8 p mn. It is hoped that Bishop Latrbuth will -peak Thursdayi night. All the churches of Manning~ and of the country are cordially invited to hear these addresses and thus~ to share in the pleasure and the profit of the cason. There will have to be an election in this county for a member of the House of Representatives to take the place of Mr. H. W. Mitchum who has resigned to accept an appointment from Gov ernor Blease to the position of Dispen sary Auditor. Tbis appointment is a compliment to Clarendon; as soon as the former auditor Mr. M. H. Mobley resigned to take a position with the Richland board, the Governor decided that Clarendon was entitled to recogni tion, he sent for Mr. Mitchum and ten dered him the place.' The office can be conducted without Mr. Mitchum having to move his family to Columbia; nis principle work is the checking up of the county dispensaries, which is done about once a quarter, and for this. we understand he gets a salary of $2.000 per year and traveling expenses. Mr. Mitchum's resignation we presume is in the bands of Speaker Smith who should fix the time for the election of his successor, this time can be, to save the expense of another special elec tion, the same time fixed for the con gressional election, and should there be a primary for the congressman, as is hoped for, Clarendon's representa tive can be selected also. Hon. Edward W. Hughes. one of the candidates for Congress, spent Sunday and Monday in Manning. Mr. Hughes is especially anxious for the support of Clarendon, and is going to try to see the electorate if that is possible. He thinks, with the vote he will get in his native county, Berkely, and in his pres ent home county, Charlestou, it. assures him of being in the second race if there should be a primary, and with a strong support in Clarendon he feels that his election is assured. There is no doubt that Mr Hughes has b-en greatly en couraged by many people in Clarendon who have promised him their support. should this county not have a candidate in the race, this will be definately stated next week, whetner or not Clarendon will be among the entries. should there be none from this county, the selection of Mr. Hughes by our people to vote for would. in our opinion, be selectinge on of the best equipped and most formid able men in the race. Hughes has the advantage of being both a countryman and a city man, born and raised in the country, and then went to the city where he has been a successful bust ness man a bighly esteemed citizen. H is popular with the laboring classes it the city, and in tne country he is popu lar with the farmers, b-ing somewta t of a farmer himself, an earnest, ait.' for for govern entura inage aid. There was a considerable conflagra tion last Monday which swept away a large portion of the town of Davis Sta tion. Had it not been for the hard work, and the wind blowing in an op posite direction, the amount of damage would have been much greater. The fire started about 11 o'clock Monda. night in the store of Mr. E. G. Stokes. supposed to have been caused from a defective flue, in a short while the build ing, which was constructed of nine. wa. wraed in flames consuming everything which came in its reach. The Stukes store carried a large stock of general merchandise amounting to more than t was insured for, and from there the fire spread until it wraped itself about five building belonging to James Seals. colored, the store of Eugen King, rail road depot, a shop run by Fank Single ton, and another by C. L. Nelson None of the parties had insurance except Mr. tukes who carried $5 500 oa stock and building. The'depot Ao destroyed, but most of the freight therein was saved. The large store of V. M. Davis & Son across the road, a distance of about thirty feet, was damaged from the heat to some extent, but no goods was re oved; it was a iittle short o miracu os that it. too was not, also taken into the grasp of the fire; an aaver-e wind is all that saved it. This store carn's one of the largest stocks in the counti. nd does an immiense business, bad it been destroyed too, that entire section o ul1d have been seriously affected thereby.

Representative White's Letter. Columbia, S. C., March 1, 1913. It is with pleasure that I think of the time not far distant when we will cease trying to be law-makers and try to be good citiz->ns in our respective neign porhoods. We have done what we Mr. Mitchum's bill is continued. Mr. Kennedy has been at work on his measure providing for the insur ance of bonds for drainage and road building in Douglas and Sandy Grove Townsis, and a commission to man age the same. I suppose I should thank Mr. Appelt for the prominence given me in the columns of his paper. Senator Appelt was mistaken, however, as to what 'has taken place in the House, which I would try to explain hut, for the space it would take up, and the time it would take to write it, especially since Ibe lieve the Senator wants to explain it himself. Nevertheless, I wilt say this much, Senator Appelt--even while his own bill was pending in the House smuggled through an amiendment on another measure and that in such a way that it was was never re-ad in my hearing and the records bear me out that it was never passed through the House- My bill requiring bond in cases f appeal has been continued untli the next session. What we lacked in passing bills we made it up in killing noxious measures. Very respectfully, BOB WHITE. A Message to Railroad Men. E.

The service of welcome which was held at the Presoyterian church last Sunday evening in honor of the Rev L. B. McCord as the new pastor of that church was an occasion delightfully im pressive and impressively delightful The auditorium lacked very little of being crowded to its utmost capacity. Those in attendance reoresented each congregation in the town. On the plat form were Mayor Bradbam, Dr. Todd, Rev. H. K. Williams, Rev. McCord and Rev. G. P. Watson. Introducing the service the choir gave as a voluntary a splendid rendi tion of "R.joice, Give Thanks and Sing"-by Carrie B. Adams. Mr. Wil liams announced the first. hymn after the singing of which Mr. McCord led the congregation in prayer. and then read his scripture lesson from the 6th chapter of the Galation epistle. The choir favored the audience with the anthem "Hark, Hark, My Soul,"-by Harry Rowe Shelley Mr. Watson acted as presiding officer and introduced, in order, the gentlemen who were to deliver brief addresses of welcome. Mayor Bradham spoke ftting words on behalf of the entire citizen ship of Manning. It, pleased him to welcome as a citizen the new pastor whose ministry, in word, and in deed, was to mean so much for the highest benefit of the community. Dr. Todd, representing the Presby terian congregation, extended a cordial welcome to Mr. McCord and introduc ed the congregation to him. There was a vein of sparkling humor in Dr. Todd's address referring especially to the "blue-stocking" Presbyterians, to some whose stockings were not quite up to the standard but were of the "pale blue" variety, and-to others who had adopted the "drop-stitch" article; yet all would be loyal to their pastor. Representing the Baptist church, Mr. Williams referred to Abram who was called the Hebrew which term signified that he was the man "from over the way." So, in relation to the worldly life, the godly man, th- Christian man. s "from over the way." This idea is -jpecially applicable to the Christian minis er who has come "from over the way:" and whose life is devoted to effort to persuade others to follow his exam tile. Tberefore he would welcome Mr. McCord as a brother worker in this field of nob:e endeavor. Mr. Watson. representing the Meth odist church, said that the Menodists .r-re ,om- rime: chtr .-d with he-net h -heide i aml sor-h art-'A H.- wtud o re,eur t.heeecharges. but, wvood -x -nd a _enuiue, warm-hearted Metho list welcome to the new pastor Their boy-hood homes had been only a few miles apart in the same county-then Abbeville, now Greenwood-yet they had never met until Mr. McCord's re ent v'sit to Manning. He hoped that the word "welcome" would be literally fulfilled and that the events of the new pastorate might demonstrate the truth Mr. Mc(:ord had done "'well" to -'come" to Manning and that God might make him a blessing to the entire town. To all of these messages of fraternal and Christian greeting. Mr. McCord responded in terms of hieh apprecia tion, of real pleasure caused by what he had seen and heard of Manning in less than 48 bours after his arrival, and of "is purpose to devote himself not only to his own pastorate but also to. be a co worker with his brother pastors. Mr. McCord announced for his text, "Tny Kingdom Come." and the short sermon which followed was most sug gestive of the imperative need of man for a great cause which should demand all his energy and force of character as the qualities essential to success. "The Kingdom of Christ" is a cause of this t. pe. ,Mr. Watson led the concluding pray er and after the singing of another ymn he also pronounced the benedic Thus ended a service the beficial ef es of which can not easily be esti mated. The Christian forces of the com munity are brought into closer fellow ship and she work of each congregation will be both augmented and strength ened thereby.

The expression "scot free," which is in use every day, harks back to the times of Scottish romance and tragedy so luminously described by Sir Walter Scott In "The Antiquary" and '-Rob Roy." In these stirring tales we are told of one form of Scottish trials giv en certain offenders of justice. Lie who had broken the law was divested of all of his clothing and placed at a certain distance from archcrs who had bows and arrows ready. waiting the command, "Fire!" When the com mand was given the man under indict ment would begin running and the archers would commence firing, and if In running this gantlet none of the arrows hit him he was allowed to go scot free.. WILSON NOW THE NATION'S LEADER. Marshall Takes Oath and Becomes Vice President and Pres. of Senate. Washington, March 4.--Woodrow Wilson was today inaugurated as president, of the United States, with Thomas IL. Marshall as vice-president, amid scenes of stirring animation and with impressive ceremonies, marked in the main by simplicity, and yet retain ing that de:ree of dignity, with some of the pomp and spectacular display which inevitably attaches to tne induc tion of a new chief executive of the na Lion. The elaborate ceremonies of the day followed a fixed program covering prac tically five hours. It began in the morn ing with the drive of the president. president-elect, and vice president-elect from the White House to the capitol, where until noon Mr. Taft was occupied with the measures passed in the clos ing hours of the Sixty-second congress. PARADE. The army of Inauguration 30,000 strong, swinging with measured tread to the blare of a brigade of bands, marched in review today from the Cap itol the White House, a magnificent tribute of welcome to the administra tion of Woodrow Wilson. Historic Pennsylvania avenue, the path of other armies of peace and war. was like a valley between hills in a glory of color-with the simplicity of nature's green and white dominating the color scheme along the line of march, while the dazzle of uniforms, the flash of guns, sab-ers, gold lace and brass buttons, and the confused roar of bands, bugles, lumberine artillery and tramping thousands, added vivid ness and stirring activity to the bril liant scene. 'High on either side of the avenue, its buildings and reviewing stands were packed with humanity, ris ing from the solid masses along the curbs, to the dense throngs in balcon ies, windows and store tops. A n d tbrough this, valley of humanity and color a martial host- undulated and roll eo along with the steady sweep of a great river. THE CLIMAX. ,The street pageant was the climax to the inauguration ceremonies at the Cap itol, adding the outward spectacular features to the formal exercises which had just taken place at the Senate hat).-r and rhe ea-t. front. of the Cap rot. Since ear y in the morning t.e ra k; of th - m rcners had be..-n lying i, restive division waiting for '.he word to advance. The chief officers and divisions of the parade were as follows: Grand Marshal-Major General Leo nard Wood. First Division, Regular Army, Navy and Matine Corps-Major General W. W. Witherspoon, Commanding. Second Division. State Militia-Brig adier General Albert L. Mills, Com manding. - Third -Division, Veteran and Patriot ic Organizations-General James E. Stuart. of Chicago, Commanding. Fourth Division, Civic Organization -Robert N. Harper, Commanding. As the procession took up the march, the noted Eessex Troop of New Jersey swung in behind the carriage in which President Wilson and former President Taft rode. Then came Vice President Marshall's carriage and behind that the Black Horse troop of Culver Military Academy. Then came Major General Wood, Chief of Staff of the Army and Grand Marshall of the parade; then the army contingent headed by the West Point cadets; then the first Batallion of Army Engineers, the 17ihU. S. Infrant.ry and band frorrfFort McPnerson, .Ga., and a regim-nt of coa-t anrollerv from Fort Monore; then a regimegt of blue jaeim ers A squadron of the Fifteenth cavalry, a batallion of the Third Field Artil lory and a detachment of the Signal Corps brought up the rear of the divis ion of regulars Then marched the second division made up of mnalistia. Deleware's troops led, headed by the governor and his stati. New Jersey-President Wilson's own state-sent its entire malitia estab lishment, including its batallion of naval reserves. In line came the State troops of Pennsylvania, Massachusetts. Maryland, Georgia, Connecticut, Vir tinia, North Carolina, Rhode Island, Maine, Michigan, Ohio, and other states. INDIAN CADETS. Cadets from the Carlisle Indian School. Cadet battallions from the mVrginia Military Institute and Cuiver Military Academy brought up the rear of that section. The third division made up of vete ran and patriotic organizations, was suggestive of the last diminishing ranks of the veterans of the North and South. The fourth grand division, composed of civic bodies, was probably the most diverse of all. Tammany Hall, 1.500 strong, was marching; the Woodrow Wilson club of Trenton, 3,000 coliege students from all parts of the country; Princeton, in honor of its former president, had 1, 000 men in line; the Duckworthy club ot Cincinndti, with 500 marchers. Other notable organizations we re in the line. When the head of the column came to to point where Pennsylvania ave nue swings around the treasury and continues around on out past the White House it halted briefly until Preside nt~ Wilson and his party took their places in the reviewing stand WHAT TAFT DID. Mr. Taft, according to custom, had ridden back to the White Souse with his successor to say fare well. It is the usual custom, occasionally varied, for the outgoing president to return to the White House and take his leave at the White House portico, but it is not the custom for him to review the pro cession. He usually jions his family at once and leaves thbe city. The marching column's halted while this formal leave-taking was going on and then pressed forware for review. The new president with bired bead acknowedged all these formalities and kept up a running fire of comment with members of his party on the amart appearance of the various or gam zatwias. The procession continued out Penn sylvania avenue to WVashirgton Circle, and there disbanded. The president returned to the White House, and the multitude, in the absence of an inaug ural bail or a- reception, looked for ward to the display of fireworks after sundown. BUSINESS LOCAI.S.
