Esq., stenographer of the 3rd circuit was in Manning Mon day on official business. It's all chicken with the young bloods these days. but not so with their das, who have to foot the bills. Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Ingram, of Sumter, visited the family of Judge John S. Wilson this week. The cropping of the green on the court house square has added much to the appearance of the grounds. Katzoff's sale is going on, follow the crowds and pick some of the bargains ' he has hanging all over his store. Lemons have gone on the free list at $9 per box, before they went on the free list they were high at $5 per box. The grand prize at the Manning Gro *cery. Company will be drawn for next Saturday night-a sewing machine. The Home Branch school district No. 32.will hold an election to create a levy - of four additional mills next Friday. The recent rains have had a wonder ful effect upon the crops and the farm ers are in high glee over the prospect. Mr. S. Oliver O'Brvan will take his family to Sullivan's Island where be has rented a cottage for the rest of the season. Burrill Manning, a young son of Hon. R. I. Manning of Sumter had a very narrow escape from lightning at Saluda yesterday. If what can be seen through the gthin skir ts these days is a matter' of pride, what would be said of real -shapely limbs? Mr. and Mrs. G. M. Smith and their daughter, Mildred, arrived home from * Charlotte where they have been spend ing several weeks. The jingoes have introduced a reso lution in the senate which smacks very much of trouble brewing between this country and Mexico. Mr E. C. Horton was host to the Bible class of the Presbyterian church last Monday evening, whicnt was en joyed by those present. -Mr. H. D. Plowden, who has been in Columbia at the hospital having a surgical operation, arrived home Mon day night in splendid condition. The Manning post office paid out for money orders during the year 1912 827, 000, and for the year ending March 31st, it sold postage amounting to $5,000. The Farmers Union is at the Isle of Palms today and tomorrow having a big time discussing the welfare of the farm *er, and splurging in the sad sea waves. Last Friday was the hottest day of this summer, the thermometer went up to over a 100 degrees in the shade, and starched collars went down below zero. Senator Tillman complained of not being able to get good fried chicken in Washington, and the woman of -the capitol city are now trying to choke him on chicken. He has been receiving so much fried chicken that he is ashamed to look one of the feathery tribe in the face. Arant's ad.. is worth fire cents. Save it. The reports from the Texas cotton crop is that State will make 5,000,0001 bales this year, and that the boll wee' vil has destroyed a half million bales in Mississippi. It is expected that Mr. H. H. Brad ham will take charge of the post office in a few days, as he has filed his bond with the department, and his commis sion is expected daily. We understand Mr. Clarence Sprott, of Mayesville, has purchased the home of Mr. P. B. Thames in Manning, and will soon move his family here. We wel come them in the best town in the State. When a preacher tells it that he left some watermelon seed on his back porch, went to church, and found a forty pound melon when he returned, some folks may think he yarned, but it is so all the same. Mr. James P. Young, of Timmons ville, who has been visiting the demon stration farm near Manning, has been c appointed as assistant tobacco investi ator in connection with the de-part ment of agriculture. The Southeastern tariff association I bad a representative in Manning yes- a terday inspecting the electric light sys- I tem. Upon his report will depend s whether or not the insurance rates will c be raised or lowered. It looks like business to see the early norning arrivals in town these days rom the tobacco barns. They bring in he yellow weed. get the cash, and then s ,hey go from store to store to make I heir purchases with real money. . C The senate committee is questioning f he right of Postmaster General Burle ;on to increase the weight limit of the arcel post. and the reduction of the t -ates thereon. He has been ordered o appear before the committee tomor ow to explain. There were a number of men in Black iver swamp near the Lesesne place ne day last week, but it is not known whether they were a party of Sea. 3oard railroad surveyors projecting L route through this section or fisher- r nen digging bait. t James Foundas of this town is prepar ng to return to his native land in Greece .n response to the call of his King to ight for his country. He contemplates marting next week. There are a num )er of young Greeks that will go from :is State next week. It will be noted in the Magistrates' " -eports there was nothing doing at Pax ville and Foreston. Both of these com- t nunities are law abiding, but take the )ffice away and something would sure y break loose. The presence of the >ffce makes for good. t How in the name of Uncle Sam can a I 'ellow pay his debts when he cannot get s bands on the money? If our friends ould only realize how embarassing it is d o have to say to bill collectors "get thee one" they would surely come up with l he coin to help us out. On Saturday, the 26th of this month, v ibe "old soldiers" picnic will take place t tt Olanta. This is an annual event and t t is usually attended by an immense c rowd of people from this and the ad- i oining counties. The Alcolu railroad r will run a special train for the occasion. o t Barring accidents, Clarendon will d nake the best all-round crops this f: ear she has made in a number of years. e otton is looking fine, and corn cannot o >e excelled. If the price for cotton c olds out there is every reason to feel k Sprosperous condition is near at hand. c One of the moss disagreeable contro rersies that can happen in' a community s the location of a school house; there e ire three such controversies in this e ounty at present, two in Salem and one o n .the Fork. The county board should a etle these disputes for the best inter- t sts of the most people. S THE TImE editor was the glad re- S ipient of she finest watermelon he t ias seen this season, it was raised and I resented by Mr. J. P. Creecv. whot aas had the luck this year of bringing I o market the moss delicious melons, 1 mnd those he raises are in demand d when others go begging- e Rev. S. G. Stuktes preached in the t Presbyterian church lass Sunday morn ing and he had a large congregation, as i tll of the other churches were closed. rhose who heard Mr. Stukes speak of mis.- sermon highly, and express he hope they will soon have t he leasure of hearing him again-. Died suddenly lass Wednesday after 2on in the 84th year of her age, Mrs. I Earriet L. Setzer. The deceased was t >ne of the earlier settlers of Manning, I ~oming to this town in 1857, her bus- t ,and, the late Alfred szer, prede 1 ~eased her about 20 years ago. The ~uneral took place in the Manning cemn- I sery last Thursday.1 Mr. Charlton Sawyer, chief clerk of :he Comptroller General's office was inr fanning last Thursday to inspect she ~reasurer's office, and when he finished t tis labors he called upon us, in the :ourse of conversation he told the writ-i ir that it was a pleasure to inspect a :ounty treasury such as Clarendon has. veryhing is in tiptop shape, and the 1 >fficer is always courteous.1 Another racket has broken out in military circles caused by the Ad jutant General ordering three companies home rom the encampment. The governor laims the Adjutant General assumed uthority which he did not have, and bas forbidden that oflicer from using the words "by order of the commander in-chief" without first submitting the same to him for his approval Under a misapprehension there were ;everal in Manning lass Monday to get registration certificates, but the regis tration officers did not have their office pen. It was our understanding this ffice was to be o'pen all during the month of July, bus we were mistaken, it is during the month of August The officers were in Manning on the first Monday in July as the law requires. There will be a hearing before Judge Wilson in Manning next Friday on in - junction proceedings in the matter of whether or not there casn be an elec tion in Sumter county on the liquor question The prohibitionists are fight ing every possible inch of ground to prevent having an election, failing in this they will continue the fight in the election, and should they lose in that the court will be appealed to. The child of Mr. Mac McElveen, of New Zion, who is at the Columbia hos-] pital is improving, and the same good news comes from Mrs. Lily Kennedy. who was operated on at the same insti tution. Mrs C. A. McFaddin is able to be moved around in an invalid's chair, and it is hoped she will be able to get home the latter part of this week, is was thought she would be discharged today, but Dr. Guerry thinks she had better stay longer. Postmaster General Burleson has issued an order extending the p~arcel post system so carry 20 pounds which will permit larger parcels sent through he mails than heretofore, and with a lowering of the charges the inducc ment to use the mails instead of the express will be greater. JTust how much the express has lost in business ince the inauguration of the parcel post we have no information, but that it has curtailed the express business we have no doubt. If the express coni panies are to compete with the mail facilities they must reduce their rates From the moment. one passes the :ountv lino into Sum?*-r, the topie of :onversation is the election which is to :ome off in that co.nty next month to lecide whether or not the dispensary 6vill be established. Clareneon's inter sts is against the dispensary in the ;ister county, and all who feel the es :ablishmentof the dispensary in Sumter wvill take heavily from this county should belp those who are making the effort .o let things remain as they are. A young man by the name of J. P. 3ist was arrested Saturday night in "harleston as he was disembarkinir Irom the A. C. L. train, charged with ;tealing a bag of money from the post naster at Gourdins, and a suit of .lotbes from a clerk in a store at Gour Has. After his arrest Gist denied his zuilt, but when confronted with parties 'rom Gourdins he confessed, claiming hat he must have been drunk. The yrobability is that this young man vill get a heavy sentence from the inited States court. Conductor J. L. Gillespie, who runs n the train from Florence to Orange )urg via Manning, was shot by two ne troes last Saturday between Kingstree nd Lanes. The negroes were captur *d. Capt. Gillespie was not seriously murt we are glad to say, but the assail .nts should be made to suffer the full enalty of the law. The cause of the hooting was that Capt. Gillespie in the lischarge of his duty corrected the ne froes who were misbehaving, and when Le turned to leave the car they shot .nd then jumped from the train. Among the many entrants for the p0 ition of State Lihrarian to be chosen ly the coming session of the General ssemblv will be Miss Lulie F. Harvin, If Clarendon county, a young lady of ie ability, and one who would fill the position with credit. Miss Harvin is a raduate of Winthrop college, h as aught in the public schools of Colum ia for a number of years, and she bas any friends all over the State. Clar ndon would be proud for the young ady to be chosen for this important ffice, and in offering her it is with the ull confidence in her splendid fitness r the place. Governor Blease on last Thursday pa oled John Boyd, sentenced at the last erm of court to eight months on the ang on the charge of receiving goods ly false pretence. The governor's ac ion was based upon an affidavit of the ounty supervisor and the certificates f Drs. Brockinton and Dickson. show og that Boyd is a victim of pellagra, .nd incapacitated for labor on the gang, hat his retention on the chain gang rould make him a public charge with tot the proper means of giving him the reatment humanity demands, that the mily of Boyd were willing to take him im and care for him, upon this show ng the governor granted the parole, '] ,nd Boyd, who is from the Panola sec ion, was released and turned over to 2 Lis people. We note in the Columbia correspon ence to the News and Courier of last ondav it mentions the tobacco mar :ets of the State. but leaves out Man ing, which we hope was an oversight, ecuse, there is no better market any rhere than this one. Manning has wo warehouses well supplied, with >uyers from the largest factories and ompanies in the world, it send from t floors a grade of weed equal to any aised in the State, and the prices paid 'J n these floors are equal to any paid in he State, that the Manning market is 'J oing a satisfactory business, farmers rom Williamsburg, Sumter and Flor- '9 nce bring their product here to sell n these floors, therefore when the '2 orrespondent mentions tobacco mar :ets he does an injustice when he '2 verlooks Manning. What do you think of a merchant '2 ho complains because people send lsewhere for goods, when while he 'is omplaining there arrives in his place f business a package of stationery mounting to about two dollars in value bat he could have procured here for the ame money, but instead of giving the ork to the local office he gives it to a raveling solicitor from an adjoining own. Such a merchant has no right to ick if every local person left him in he lurch and did not trade a cent with im. If the merchants send away from tome to have done what they can get one at home just as good and just as heap. how can they complain of other >eople who trade elsewhere, even .if hey can buy at home as well. All of i should patronize home whenever it, s possible to do so. Big Woodmen Circle Picnic. There will be a Wood men Circle pic lie at Turbeville W. 0.

A woman cannot stick a hat on her head as you stick a stamp on a letter There is an ingenious machine that sticks stamps on letters at the rate of several thousand an hour. But nobody has invented a machine for sticking hats on the heads of women. A man can buy a. hat in five minutes, but no woman would dream of buying a hat In less than an hour. Often a woman will acquire a splitting headache in the attempt to find one hat to suit her out of a hundred, and not seldom she carries away the headache with out a hat on It. The hat hunt Is only a small part of the daily agony of shop ping, and yet many a man would rath er cut his throat than engage In a hat hunt as a dispassionate spectator. Men prefer to hunt the fox er the stag, the tiger or the lion, the grizzly or the grouse. A tiger hunt Is not nearly so perilous as a hat bunt.-London Opin Persistence Won. .. Jones. a former man about town, had become so poor that often, donning his shabby evening clothes, he had either to bone his friends for a dinner or go hungry. Thus Jones dropped in on a former crony one evening and said: " thought I'd just drop in. I knew you were giving a dinner, and I heard that your guests were just thirteen. So, as your wife is superstitious about that number, I thought-ha. ha!-I'd just drop in." "But," said the host. "you're quite wrong. Jones. We are not thirteen. We are just twelve." Jones. as he drew off his shabby old overcoat, said: "Well. I'll stay anyhow, If only to laugh your wife out of her supersti tious whim."-Washington Star. How Spaniards Eat Eggs. A Spaniard would not dream of al lowing an egg to boil three minutes. One minute at the outside is enough, the egg. In fact, being just shown the hot water. It Is then broken open and the contents poured Into a glass, the Spanish epicure drinking It off as though It were a draft of wine.

A wealthy lawyer and a downtrod den litigant were conversing together. The lawyer had not always been wealthy: the client had not always been downtrodden. In the elevators of life they had passed each other, one going down, the other going up, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. And now they were quoting proverbs at each other. "A fool and his money are soon part ed!" sneered the attorney. "Lawyers' houses are built with fools' money!" came back the client. Which showed the man who heard this bit of repartee the truth of the statement that those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. A few more might be added. but this will do for the present. Birds and Insects and Vegetation. A well known French scientist has asserted that without birds to check the ravages of insects upon vegetation human life would vanish from this planet in the space of nine years.
