Nov. 22, 1913 To the Editor of the Manning Times:-Several weeks ago, a promi n nent business mao of the town of Man 1 ning requested the writer of this arti. Y ele to locate in Manning, and advancee as his reason, the following, to wit: 1 (a) He claimed that the town of Sum Y merton is a mere rat-hole and that the writer is a prophet and patriot witbout honor in his own country and is wast s ing his efforts to promote the commot F good (b) Ho alleged further that the towE of Manning is dead and mu-h in need r of a patriot to arouse the people frotw S their lethargy For the benefit of the aforesaid Man ning citizen, I take the liberty of quot, ing herewith from a letter received during the present week from a prom Inent member of the United States Senate, as follows. "I know you are a mAn of education. for your letters show it, and your name is a guarantee oi having been bred with high ideals, and I am satisfied that you are one of the f,-w m, n in South Carolina today whc dicuss public questions with the slightest degree of intelligence." t Now, Mr. Editor, I take it as gener ally admitted that you conduct the ; ablest and most independent county . newspaper in South Carolina, and in . consideration of the statement of the Manning citizen and for the benefit of the common uplift. I desire to state herewith some of the advantages and disadvantages in residing at Summer ton. Bounded on the north by Sumter, 11o1unde-d ou the west and south by the Sautee River. and bounded on the east by Manning, the town of Summerton, South Carolina, is the center of the greatest agricultural region or section in the world; equally as fertile as the lands of the Mississippi valley and as suitable to agriculture as the lands of Marlboro or Orangeburg counties in this State, the farming community around the town of Summerton sur passes either of them In the matter of variety and adaptibility; a mixture of clay. %and and lean constitute the cniel eiements of our soil, and peaches, corn, apples, peas, grapes, pomegranites, to matoes and potatoes, each and all of I them actually grow, hear fruit and flourish to our satisfaction from year to I year. Without hills or mountains or gul. leys, without need of terracing or irri gation, the farm lands within the boundaries heretofore given, afrord and furnish to the eye one single level > stretch of welcome; dotted here and r there with small streams or branches of water, cattle may flourish as though upon a thousand bills; the hand of God ftshioned these noble farming lands atd invited tbe farmers to milk and honey and green pastures. rbe moth er of several Governors of South Caro lina and the local habitation of some of the most intelligent and industrious frriers of the world; the farming com munity around and about th~e town of Summerton invites comparison and awaits the coming of an equal compet' itor But with all these gifts of God and wi h all our proeperity, it behooves~ th. farmers and all of us within this favored section of Clarendon County, to look within and about ourselves, and take an inventoryv of our needs, siorteomium.s and imp-rative duty dur ing these latter day'i of the year 1913, and these I shall proceed to relate, as follows, to wit: (1) The people within and about the town of Summerton are in urgent need o f bestet railro,.d facilitie-s and con nectiuns; the town of Summerton and the town of Manning and the town of Pinewood should be connected by an electric railway line and there is sumf nient water power in the Santee river to move the machinery; the Seaboard Air Line Railroad should hasten to make proper connection from the city of Sumter through the town of Sum mrton tb the city or Charleston or else connect the city of Fiorence through the towns of Manning and Summe-ton with the boat lines now operating on the Santee River. (2) The farmers in and around the town of Summeroon nut only need, but dmand bestter credit and bankingi facilities; the Bank of Summertot located hero is a splendid institution and stretches every nerve to meet the conditions, but many farmers in this sectionf wi h good collateral must go te Sum or or M'ianning for ac.-ommudation, -wnen the Bank of Summerton could have the business for the asking, if it .would only increase the capital and I assets of the Bank and place itself in more sympathy with the farmers and commcunity generally; a few bankcrupt and butt meat merchants on the direct, orate will ultimatety destroy the use fulness of tbe Bank of Summerton and etrange the progressive element of the community; I am satisfied if the capi -talists would establish and operatea rural bank here with a capital stock ol - 100,000 and give personal attention tt the conduct, of some, and get, in sympa t .y with the farmers of the commu ni, by granting long-time loans utpoz a reasonable basis, the venture would prove a veritable gold mine, since i i a well known fact that tbe bauket1 ano money-lenuera of Sumter and Man 2 niug are nutniug more nor less thbat Susury brokers. and if Summnero is U~ 9d velop along the same line, then God Shave mercy on the farmers. - (3) The farmers and their wives are B practically without, any mercantile ac r comodations in this section and thern should be established at tuis poini I whout, f..rtrner delay a joint, co-oper. 2 ativ mercantile establishment, witl some man of means at, the bead of it wtn the farmiera of this section at - stcknoiders; a man cannot pureniast for love or money a decent derby hai or overcoat anywhere in this com munity; several days ago, a farme: leaving several members of his familj sick in bed was compelled to drive ov. er to Manning for a can of oatmeal for ,his s' k 0 es; a fe w weeks ago, a lad: of my acquaintance seatenead ever: "store in this to.vn for some diaper liner Sfor her babies and none could be found the but meat merchants do not appeal 'to desire the trade of the white pe-ople at ..11, but seem to be satis.fied with ti, .Neg ro sien business, the result beina . a ur wn.,hite omen go to Sumter io their dress suits or else send to New York or Baltimore for them. (4) The farmers around the town of Summerton should co-operate more freely and fully and should immediate ly form a society among themselves with that in view; said society should own a joint bull and bear and jack and the people who do not belong to said society should be made to pay for the services of said jack, bull or bear: and saio society should forthwith devise a progress.ve mettod of distributing and cultivatinig better planting seed; better schools could be maintained in this sec tion if the balf-st;arved private schools were abol:.h' d and the patrons made to co-oprate with some central high jschool of good standing. with good tt-ehers, and the county superintend ont of education should give his im mediate attention to this phase of the school situation: the State or the Coun ty should furnish all school books at a nominal rental, and teachers should be instructed to require their pupils to use the old-time slate and pencil in lieu of expensive scratch pads, which have become an outragreous expense to poor parents; the farmers do not read enough good booles and magazines. but take too much cheap literature and whiskey advertisements; the privies in this section are an abomination,in some cases the white man and the negro us ing the same privy, the result being that hookworm abounds; it is difficult to find a bathroom, with a tub of suffi cient leugth for a farmer to stretch himself, the result being that skin dis ease of various kinds are prevalent; the patent medicine venders are an enemy to the people and the ordinary country physician is a carrier of disease in lieu of a healer of disease, and in many instances entirely too intimate and familiar with the women, espec ially the married women, much to the annovance of nusbands; the farmers purchase too much chemical fertilizers and are negligent in the matter of growing winter crops and maintaining the proper fencing for hogs, cattle, and sheep, with the view of saving the droppings from these animals and the waste of various description on the or dinary farm. (5) The farmers and the people in geural of Summerton and t larendon County demand better laws and the better enforcement of existing laws; the farmer shoula have a lien for all advances made o a tenant, without a writing of an) kind, in order to contro labor: farmers should be better pro tected from the trespassing domes:ir, fowl. including the goose. chicken and guinea, since the writer knows of whole crops being destroyed by the fowls of adjoining neighbors, without the farmer having any legal remedy or protection, and the Legislature of South Carolina should immediately pas- an Act to meet this deplorable condition of affairs; the rivers and streams and lakes of this section are practically without any fish at all, ow ing to illegal trapping, dynamiting a, d seining; the average Magistrate of he law is a great enemy to the farmer, by standing in with the buttemeat merchant and illegally arresting the ahorer- for de-bt; better roads and bridges should be constructed ann the County Supervisor s.hould investigate the use oif cement in building public roads as is now done in Michigan and the continued use of the plank or board bridge over our streams should be pro hbited by law and brick or cement culverts substituted; a segregation land law as advocated by the Editor of the Progressive Farmer should be enacted forthwith in order that the majority of the white people of a given com munit' couid prevent the sale of land to negros in said community, since the town of Summerton is fast becoming an ordinary negro settlement-, there being in 'his town certain dirty white men who prefer to sell land to negros; but the greatest of all enemies to.the farm er is the average crooked politician and it now appears that most politi cans are crooked; the people of this county being hone-st voters should de mand that all primaries in this State be placed immediately under the same legal restrictions as pertain to general elections, in order to protect them selves from railroad domination and crooked politicians, who avowedly in tbe name of the poor white man, but really in their own crooked interest, do not wish fair and honest primaries in South Carolina. () The town of Summerton and sur Irounding section are overstocked in the' watrer of churches an-i the peo~pl' are being there by impoverished and improperly instructed; in the town of Summerton, with a white population of not over five hundred, there are five different denominations. each endeav oring to maintain a half-starved con greation and preacher, whereas one goo t, prosperous church in this com munity would really place the c-ause of Ireligion on a better footing; Pinchot and Roosevelt and other able men in he East and North are giving this question of single church combinations in small communities very serious con -sideration and the proposition is being placed into practical operation in some Instances with great success and the p-ole of Summnerton should give the matter thoughtful attention; one good chmurct in a sm-ll community, furnish -ing instr-uct.ionst through lectures and moving pictures upon modern subjects of agricuiture, sanitation and good gov einent. would accomplish more good for the people than a hundred bigoted denominations: the priest and the preacher must ultimately give way to the social worker and creeds and de nominations are even now dying a nat ural death; getting into heaven is a very poor excuse for- living; true reli gion is a state of mind filled with rev erence for God and in addition thereto -a code of action consisting in doing unto others as one would have them do u'-o him. "Inasmuch as you have done it unto one of the least of these my little ones, you have done it unto me." Wishing much success and prosperity to The Manning Times, and forgetting the things that are behind, let us all -with one accord press forward to the prize of our high calling in God.

A large majority of the schools of the county have engaged )ne or more booths in which they will Jisplay their exhibits. Clark's large xbacco warehouse has been secured, Lad arouud its sides the booths will be :4)nstructed. These latter arrange ments are now being perfected. The ext teachers' Association meeting will e held at the % arehouse on Saturday, December 6th, on which occasion, the :achers will busy themselves in mak iog advance preparations on their re pective booths. Tbe finishing touches an then be added the following week. eaving very little to be done on the morning of the 12th. A'fine band of music will dispense ively music to the crowds during the lay the fair is in progress. Some few schools have reported that i will be impossible far them to have in exhibit, but that they will be here ad have a place in the parade. There re at least, 2500 school children in ibe unty, and we want every one of them a this grand parade. Let them be iere and keep in touch with their re pective teachers. The parade will form at the graded chool building, march down town, roud the court house. thence to the ?ir grounds. Headed by a good band >f music, this should prove an :nspir og sight. Let every family in the :unty so lay your plans as to be here n that occasion, thus giving your :hildren an outing that will be boLh >easant and profitable. Respectfully, E. J. BROWNE, County Supt. of Education. President Wilson's 2nd daugh rer'Miss Jessie W Wilson, and Ur. Francis B.

NJURED BY METALS Record of 906.89 Lbs. of Butter fo; Year. ery Instance when the butter was scored a few days after making, the samples to which iron had been added scored lower than the butter made from cream which contained- no iron. This held true in most cases on the second and third scoring, which o. curred at intervals varying from 20 to 187 days. The most noticeable fea ture was the rapid development of bad flavor in the butter containing the iron. When both the control and the experimental butter became fish it was noticed that the control buttet was the last to become so. There was a marked oily flavor present in most samples that subsequently became fishy The Influence of copper on the iP or of butter was studied In a simi lar manner, and it was found that copper, even in small quantities, seemed to cause more marked Changes of flavor in butter than did the ron. with a decided tendencystoward a fishy flavor in storage. Two ezperl' ments showed very plainly the harm ful effect of using poorly tinned pas teurizers, even though the cream came in contact with the copper. surface for only a few seconds, for, aside frm this, all other conditions were ex actly alike during the complete pra cess of butter manufacture. This work shows that if cream is kept in rusty cans or comes In oon* tact with Iron or copper at any time during the process of butter mekig it may take up iron or copper from rusty cans, exposed bolt heads, of other metal parts of pasteuriers OS churns, In suflcient quantities to s& fet the flavor of storage butter. Though there is nothing to show that the nature of the .flavor Is appreclabll changed, It does demonstrate very clearly that the rate of development of the undesirable flavor Is greatly accelerated during storage by vr Ismall quantities of either Iron e copper.

Doly Dimple, Hae a One Economic conditions make It neces sary at present tr. hold butter in stor age from the slummer reason, when t is plentiful, te the winter season, when It is scarce. If the butter is properly made this can be done without =a terially infuring its quality. It often occurs, however, that butter which has been held in storage for some monkths d'evelops disagreeable flavors that greatly lessen its value. These bad 11avors that Will often pass unnoticed when the butter is fresh may become sa serious a detect after three or four months in storage as to wenr i th butter almost unsalable. The memical changes which cause these ' had flavors are: often too small to be .ectcted by the ordinary analytical oethods of the laboratory, but the esenses of imell and taste are far mor delicate, and as soon as bad havtr are detected by them the value of t product is lessenepd. I Some metals either cause or ge ly accelerate certain bad f avors In butter although most of the expert ment along this line have not In cluded storage butters.

In ev SOME PURE-MILK PROBLEMS Most Important Aside From Feeding Is of Barn and Its Accommoda tions, Says Oregon*Studenit, -For the dairyman whose aim is the profitable production of pure milk, probably the most important problem, -aside from the feeding, is that of the barn and Its accommodations, writes E. S. Wisdom, a student at the Ore gon Agricultural college, in an article n the Oregon Countryman, the sta dent agricultural magazine. The dairy cow requires, for the hizh est production, comfortable and 'healthy quarters which are protected from the inclement weather, he con Stinues. A warm, substantial stable is almost imperative in the cold climate. It must not be forgotten, however, that -the health of the herd is likely to be Simpaired unless proper precautions are Staken to insure rigid cleanlness and abundance of light and fresh air. An expensive structure is unneces sary, but one that will be convenlent Sfor the labor and furnish contentment to the herd should be provided.
