It is hardly nec s ary for any words of commendatioi from us for this well known establish ent. Mr. J. H. Chandler the mana ger has been so long connected with the furnishing of good clothes to oul readers that it would be superfious Eowever, a reading ot the advertise ent will be convincing that the D. J bandler Clothing Company will givi zreat inducemrents to the trading pub ; wanting any thing in the clothing an< putss furnishing lines. Every farmer in this county shouk pant some tobacco. Those in clos touch with the tobacco situation clain the crop of 1914 will bring the 'highes price that has ever been obtained foi the weed. It has been fully demon trated that Clarendon soil is wel idaped to the growing of a good qual ity at a minimum cost., and there i eerv reason to. believe there will be reat increase in the acreage this rear, and that Manning bids fair to be ~ome the tobacco center for this sectiot >f the State. We believe if thi ~armers generally take to the cultiva tion of this early money crop it wil :iot be long before some of our enter rising citizens will devise means tA stablish a plant for the manufacturt >f the product After this issue The Times editoi will be away a good part of the timi or several weeks attending to his du. :,ies in Columbia, and his readers wil ,nfer a favor if they will interesl bemselves in furnishing news item: ror the paper.

It is .the intentiot of all of the representatitves to servi the people to the best of their oppor tunities, suggestions from the peo pe often greatly helps them to reacd conclusions. A eitizen of this town asked us to di rot the attention of the to.wn counci that it might reenlate the practice o wheeling hahv earriages ou the side waiks before some incensea citize: slaps a nurse into the middle of tha street. He saiys the nuirses take ad vantag.e of their position to make them, selves obnioxious. in. that they will h. seral of them together, and they wi] not give a portion of the walk to pe di strains the sidewaiks was madle for We have noticed this ourself, the nurn e seem to take delight in blocking sh sidewalk to force white peoule off tb walk, but unless it is discontinuedi w fll cause- trouble sure enough. Cour ci can very well make an ordinanc forbidding carriages on the sidewalk abreast each other, thus requirini them to go one behind the other, an give the rest of the walk to those wh have a right there. Elsewhere is published the reportc Mrs. F. 0. Richardson, treasurerC the Clarendon County Confederat Monument Association, which will b read with a great deal of interest The Cc ederate monument entei pise is ao longer an experiment, has reached the assured stage, e -th report will show the contract has see awarded, and the corner stone will b laid with appropriate ceremonies o: Lee's Birthday, January 19th, and th unveiling will take place May 10t1 Those who desire to have a part in th donating towards this patriotic ent pnise should get their contributions it Te committee is doing all it cant further the scheme, and it is encumber upon the patriotic citizer.: of the count to help them. The cut of the monumet shows it to be of a beautiful desigi and we feel assured every son an daughter of a Confederate soldier wil be proud of it. The county commissioners were i sessin today, and when they arei potion to make a detailed report< their year's work it will be gratifyin to thetaxayers of the county. A t th beginning of last year the county wi heavily involved in debt, and a nun her f brdge in he cunt wer b . ly in need of rebuilding. The cor missioners in some places built bran new concrete bridges and added new e cells to the jail, notwithstanding the , large amount of work done they have e managed to keep within the current d expenses. and pay off a large part, if - not all of the back indebtedness. Clar e endon is better off financially now than she has been for many years due to the business-like methods of those who are in charge of our county affairs. One d more year of such management, and y the county will be upon a cash basis, f and in position to put in many improve ments on the bridges, and roads. Drag House Enjoined by Federal Court. , Judge Jeremiah Neterer. of - the I United States district court, today 2 granted a permanent injunction in be 5 half of the Centaur Company of New York, the manufacturers of Fletcher's i Castoria, against the Stewart & Holmes s Drug Company of this city. The controversy arose from the sim ulating of the labels of this well-known I preparation, and from the evidence r filed in the case it was shown that the i infringing label was first discovered on s sale in Honolulu, and was traced to its origin here in Seattle. The defendant company is one of the oldest and largest concerns of its kind in the Northwest. The decree carries with it an order that the Stewart & Holmes Company recall the goods which are on the mark b et under the infringing label, and to i pay all costs in the suit and damages i assessed at $4000.-Seattle, Wash., - "Times" A Mystery That Needs Solving. There appears to be lurking about in this community some creature, the sooner he is gotten rid of the better it will be for the peace of mind, and the tranquility of the community. On the night of the 16th of last month. Mr. T. Junius Lowder, a quiet and industrious citizen, living near Manning, known of all men to be a man who attends strict- I ly to his own business. and never inter feres with others, had the misfortune to lose two horses in a most mysterious - manner, last Wednesday he lost anoth er horse in the same mysterious man ner, Thursday night he noticed that - his mule stopped eating, and an exam ination showed the trough to contain a substance which bad the appearance of mo!asses being mixed with the oi-s, immeilately Mr. Lowder drenched the mule and saved it, possibly had he not given the animal immediate attention - it would have gone the way of the oth ers. Mr. Lowder is not known to have an enemy in the world, he is not the kind of a man calculated to have ene mies. but why this misfortune should come to him, and continue with him, is a mystery which should be thoroughaly investigated regardless of cost. After Peddlers. M:gistrate Bradham had before him las. S-turday an un'isual case. The de!-dats. w-.re strangers, and were ari ested o th-i charrge of hawking and, dha: without a license. These men gave their names as Frank Con Itneliy and A. L. Patierson, claiming to be representing Compton Brothers subscription agents in Ohio. They would offer to take a subscription for some kind of a newspaper for 99 cents for three years and give away a pair of spectacles, or a fountain pen as a premium; the spectacles or pen was delivered immediately on receipt of the 99 ct ats. The prosecution claimed the subscript ,n fea:ure was merely a subterfu- t around the license required I. iawking and peddling, and that the : .me was to sell the pens and spectacles, either of whbich may or may not be cheap. J. WV. Wideman, Esq., represented the defendants and S. Oliver O'Bryan, Esq., the State. Magistrate Bradham took the vie w of the prosecufion and adjudized them guilty, and fined them $5.00 each. it being the first offense,.. with thbe un derstanding that if aney intended to cour inne the business here -they must take out the license. The tine was paid. A Good Manu Gone Died at the home of his brother-in l law Mr. Theodore J. Simmons, in -Charleston last Saturday evening, Mr. R. B. Lyons aged abo':t, 81 years Among those who attended thbe fun eral which took place in Charleston - Monday, were Messrs. Fred Lesesne and Frank P. Burgess of this place. Tnc deceased was for a number of years, the proprietor of the Central I Hotel, and waS well known and highly regarded by the traveling public. He >was ever thoughtful of the welfare of his guests, and tbe soul of honor, up to a few weeks ago, and until his health became impaired, he. although not of robust health, had the a-tive manage ment of his hostelry, and with the help of~his excellent wife they provided w eli for their guests. Mr. Lyons, realizingJ his enfeebled condition decided to re- t tire from the hotel business, and he 1 purchased a home in this town where 1 he and his wife would live privately, the purchased property was occupied by a tenant,andl while lwaiting for it to be 1 vacated, they visited relasives in King- C stree and Charleston. while in thei ( latter city, Mr. Lyons became ill from I -wbich he passed away. The deceasedI was a confederate soldier, a high toned < and dutiful citizen. He had many sncere fr'iends in this town, and al- t though h~e lived to a good old age, his removal from this midst is deplored. - Hook Worm Campaig.. The campaign against hook worm is about to be entered upon in this court t. Dr. F. D. Rodgers of Columbia, as been selected by the State Bo r~d fof Hr-alth for' this work in Clarendon Dr. Rogers has arrived, and for the lirst t wo weeks of the c'ii ht that he ex pects 10 be here, hie will confer with the ph ys'ctans, anid teechers in the s'-v eal section5, then he will go to varii'ous loalties arnd wi1l give il;t;strited lec nreuc he wvill have offces in the . sveral seetwons where he will me-t meet-rt free of charge. Clarendon has appropriated about $150 towards the fund to drive out this t disease, and those who are found to be . afflicted with this life-sapping ailment a should not hesitate to let Dr. Rogers a examine them. Over 50,000 persons in this State have been treated already, i especially should the school children a be examined, for there are many who are having troubles for which they cannot account, and which is retarding ,fthem in their school work. If the ,~treatment is taken in time it may be Sthe means of avoiding serious conse quences. Therefore we would urge upon parents, to give to Dr. Rogers all .of the aid in their power when he ar .rives in your community. e There'is many a child not making a progress in school that has hook worm and its parents do not know it, now the 2 opportunity is at hand and all should be required to take advantage of it by being examined, and if found with the ' alment the treatment should be taken. .It is absolutely safe, especially when . given by instructions of an expert. rPINEWOOD.

THE MISSION OF THE SEVENTY.. LESSON TEXT.-Luke 10:1-24. GOLDEN TEXT.-"It Is not ye that peak, but the spirt of your Fathgr that speaketh in you"-Eatt. 320. Jesus "came unto his own and his own received him not." Rejected in 3udea, he turned to Galile'e, mangr his headquarters at Capernaum only to be rejected there also. "After these things" (v. 1.) e. g, atter his hna- de parture from Galilee, and as he was about to perform his Perean minis3ty. ;The ministry of Jesus Is rapidly has 'tening to a close, still there is much work to do, hence the selection of rthose who shall go before him to pre pare for w~hat proved to be in each city and town his last visit. -LI The Seventy Sent (iv. 14). Verse one tells us of the character of the work they were to undertake, viz., to -be heralds; to prepare the people - against his coming,n "r. 7:20. There is a plentitude of we, but, "the Ia borers are few." TIhey- were sent to : particular people, "whither he him self would come," 2 TIm. 4:8; Titus 2:13. No matter what may have been their limitations, the "coming one" would supply all dercencles. Jesus commanded prayer, but also sent forth those same praying ones (v. 2, 3). Prayer and work go hand in band in a sane Christian experience. Every Impression demands sufficient expres sion, If It Is to make any lasting con tribution to our characters. The large harvest demands attention. We are, sent into that harvest by the King' himself, "Behold I send you;' an'l those whom he sends are not cm pelled to labor alone, catt. 24:20; John 14:16. Jesus mentions four things about those whom he'sn Like Lambs. (1) TheIr character. They are t: be like "lambs." We have just ha he figure of "laborers" presented, abor ers who were sent. Is this then a mixed simile? We-thik not. We are to go forth to the-harvesting work as laborers, that is our work, but, in our characters. we are to be lamb-like. (2) Their environment, "among wolves." That is to say, surrounding each harvest field, and frequently en croaching as far as they dare, are the wolves, a type of the evil one and of his agents. Those who go thus ito, or by the way of, danger will not carry any excess of baggage, 2 Tim. 2:4. (3) In the third place, they are to go forth with complete dependence upon God's providing care (v. 4). lhe exact letter of these instructions is not always incumbent upon his ambes Eadors, chapter 22:35, 36, but the spir It of absolute faith In a Father who will provide, must always' possess his representatIves. '. As to their bearing, It must be that of dignity and self-respect (v. 5). Social demands consume a great deal at energy in diplomatic circles, and It is here that many Christians waste precious energy, as well as becoming involved in worldly practices. Their erst thought upon -entering a house must be for the good ni e home (v. 5). not for their persoinl comfort. f a "son of peace," (v. 6), dwelt there, me to whom peace rightfully be onged, their benediction would bring o that home a blessing. But if he be 30t there their peace was not to be ost, for vt would return to-the giver. (5) Their mission was to offer, not w force acceptance. They were not heggars, going from house to house [v. 7), they bad something worth vhile and were worthy of their hire. Ihe fawning, cringing sycophants that >ass for Christian workers stand re >uked before this teaching. However, his does not sanction the dogmatic,. lomineering methods of some. They re to accept what is offered (v. 8), not demanding, "a worthy compensa ion." The church of Christ stands Eondemned for the meager alaries lven its representatives, yet It Is also rue that a man usually, and in the ong run, ges about what he Is worth. God's Truth. To build up character brings a far icher~ eo:cpsnsatica, and more hu.st ng results, than to obtain eart.hly trestige, care or wealth.
