More Money is Needed.
The Manning school district is con
siderably hampered for a lack of funds
to run the schools as they should be,
because of the present system of taxa
tion. Those interested in the schools
of this district realize the present as
sessment will not raise a sufficient
amount of monev, had it not been for
the patriotism of the trustees endors
ing notes to meet the demands, the
school at t his place would have not been
able to run uine month,, then if the
property assessment is raised, it cannot
be done under the present law, with
out forcing the taxpayers to pay more
in this district than their proper and
fair proportion to the county and State;
if a means can be found to increase the
assessment in the district for school
purposes.-lone, without increasing it
or general taxation, we are satisfied
the people will endorse such a propo
sition; everybody realizes the value of
good school facilities; everybody is
willing to contribute to this end, at
the same time, it is utterly impossible
to get the best service without the
means to compensate those who teach.
Manning is entitled to as fine teaching
service as any town in the State; we
have here an excellent school building,
and a surrounding country teeming
with the best of prospects for the fu
ture, there is nothing whidh will give
a community such an impetus as first
class school facilities.
At the present session of the legisla
ture the matter of devising ways and
means to raise the necessary funds to
operate our schools as they should be
witbout embarassing our trustees, will
be taken under consideration. if it can
be fovnd that the County Board of Ed
ucation can have the authority to as
sess for taxation, independent of the
County and State, then a Bill will be
introduced looking to that end.
There is no desire to increase taxa
tion, although the present assessment
of property had to be put out of propor
tion with the rest of the county, in or
der to run our schools at all, this
shouid not be. If Manning- school dis
trict must have more money to give
adaquate school facilities; then lower
the county assessment on a parity with
the rest of the property of the county,
and raise the assessment of the prop
erty in the district sufficiently to run
the schools to guarantee the best of
service.
We are not certain as yet whether
this scheme will be constitutional, but
to our mind it is reasonable, fair and
practical, and if it is not inhibited by
the fundamental law, so far as we are
concerned we should like the experi
ment tried for one year in lieu of the
present levy of six mills upon an as
sessment that State and County taxes
are based, and collected upon.

The Comptroller General's report
shows Clarendon to have returned for
taxation $4,049,250, of this amount
there is $1,211,235. There is something,
radically wrong, due to neglect on the
part of the assessors, because. in 1912
the assessed valuation was $4,305,925,
thus showing a falling off of $256,675.
The Auditor tells us that considerable
property, real and personal was not re
turned at all and that he- is constantly
placing the property on the books by
additionals The township assessors
have been very lax in their duties, and
unless they give better attention to
their duties some other plan will have
to be adopted to get the property on
the books.
The Olanta dispensary is having a
hard time to get started. The institu
tion was opened by the Florence County
Board, but a restraining order was
obtained which closed it up; now the
supreme court has ordered the case
remanded to the Florence term of court
on its merits to decide whether or not
the board has the right to establish a
dispensary in the town of Olanta. As
As we understand it the dispensary
was established1 in the town of Olanta
over the objections of a majority of the
citizens.' Clarendon is especially in
terested in this case because Olanta is
a border town, and if the dispensary is
established there it will materially
affect this county.
Three of Clarendon's citizens had
been to Charleston, and were returning
home Wednesday on the afternoon
train, when they reached Lanes, they
went into the waiting room of the sta
tion to wait for the train from Florence
to bring them home, they sat there
and chatted pleasantly for some time,
when they noticed their train at the
water tank, thinking they had plenty
>f time, they leisurely walked towards
the train, when one of them noticed it
moving, he ran and by a close call
caught it, the others seeing the train
moving oif quickened their pace, and
mne of them cried out to a passenger
"stop the train" but this man had no
means of stopping the train and replied
"how in the--can I stop the train.
The train sped on leaving two of the
party gazing at it with the dry grins.
he two that got left visit Charleston
but do iiot, drink, so they say.
