Rodgers, president and cash rier, resnectively, of the First National Bank of Florence. At the meeting of the new directors it was decided to in crease the capital from $10,000 to $25,000. An effort will also be made at once to convert this bank into a national bank. The following officers were elected: President. Julian-C. Rogers; vice pres a ident, S. R Chandler; cashier, D. E. s Fraser; attorney, Wilbur Hicks. Mr. F. A. Munn, heretofore employed in the bank, was made assistant cashier. e The directors are. Robert P. Thomp 2 sonDavidW.Alderman.J. Caleb Lynch, S. R.

It will be the policy of the bank to scatter its stock as much as possible among the citizens of this a community, thus preventing any indi - vidual or party from owning a controll ing interest. t Death of W. H. H. Hobbs. Editor of The Times:-I have just beard through comrade J. W. Barrow of the death of our old comrade Wil r am Henry Harrison Hobbs, who died Dec. 30sh last. He was buried at Spar .row Swamp Baptist church, near Tim Smonsville on the 31st. He had just nassed. his seventy-third birthday. He - was born at Whitefield N. C. in 1840. 2 and like all young men of that day, he 2 entered the army early in '61. He lost a an arm at the battle of Gettysburg, July '63. After the war was over he came to Salem, in this county. 3 He was a member of the Baptist and ,a grreat worker in'the Sunday school. '.He was trusted by the people of the county and served as' magistrate for two or three terms, also as county comn I missioner for two or more terms. He - was above the average citizen in intel ligence. When he came to Manning he alwass stopped with me. On sever al occasions I visited him at his home in Salem. His mother and sister lived f with him. He devoted all of his time to their care, and refused to entertain any idea of marriage on account of the care of his mother and sister. Since the death of his mother and sister he Shas kept no home. He went to the ' Old Soldier's home some years ago, but r was never satisfied. The State gave him seventy two dollars a year as a pension. SI trust that he had a triumphant en - try into the Promised Land through f his faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, r where he will rest under the shade of the trees with Lee and Jackson. -D. J. BRADHAM. B Sardinia News. The big new store of the Sardinia 'Mercantile Co., opened for business last Friday. Mr. Tom Kennedy a stockholder and promoter of this En terprise, and who is well known in Manning and over Clarendon County, Sas a young man of rare business quali ties, and of a keen insight to the needs of the people in a farming community, selects this place to embark into busi ness from many of the other small points, claiming the possibilities here are second to none in the county. We hope for this firmo a prosperous New - ear. and invite others who contem 'late the starting of new enterprises on the ground floor in a small town, to come and look our situation over. SMr. W. R. Burgess, who spends the greater part of his time on the road for the Zeigler Bros., Shoe Co , of Philadelphia. is homne for a few weeks to set right his farming interest for the year. Mr. Burgess says that aside .from the renumeration that may be re ceived, a traveling man should do a tcertain amount of farm work in his off times through the year, as it lowers his tension and acts as a kind of Safety Valve for his nerves when overstrained by the scurry of commercial life. r Mr. and Mrs. Jeff D. McFaddin, pa rrents of what they call "the cutest lit te girl on earth," are puzzled to find at name good enough for her ana is ask ing their friends to submit names to pick over and offer a premium for the one whose name submitted is selected. Miss Lizzie Rodgers. Principal of thbe e Sardinia Graded School has been quite 9 ill but now better. This seems to be a banner year for the Sardinia School. Under the excellent management of Miss Rodgers and Miss Goldsmith, the s school has made greater strides than eretofore, and has been the means of other families moving here to receive its benefits. From the number of new barns that eare being built, and the increasetd sizes of tobacco beds being planted over the -Salem section, we would suppose that the acreage of tobacco will be double what it was last year.

Bucklen & Co. a [Philadelnhiao St. Louis.dr House of Representatives Once again we have come together in the capitol city and it looks as if every one is makingr an effort to better conditions in his county and the State at large. There are several bills of importance under way. The cotton warehouse bill has been re-committed, and from what I under stand it will have a rough road to travel. The measure providing for the dis position of the asylum property and creating a commission to handle the same. needs an amendmentstriking out the creation of the commission and placing the property in the hands of the State sinking fund commission. which has had charge of this class of work in the past The cattle tick eradication measure will probably pass. carrying with it an appropriation of $40,000, but I think it will not getmv vote. These representatives just vote away our money like water. I was glad to get home Friday even ing though it was contrary!to my judg ment to adjourn frem Friday 2 p. m. until Tuesday noon. This is a waste of time and brings additional cost upon the State of about two thousand five hundred dollars. as figured by Repre sentative Hardin of Cherokee. 1 am glad to state that the Clarendon dele gation voted against the prolonged recess. Senator Appelt is getting up a bill providing for an increase of salary for some of our county officials. The House members will introduce a bill next week providing for rural police in this county. The Summerton school trustees, I am informed want us to put through a measure empowering them to collect s an increased contingent fee from the children attending school in that dis trict I understand the children of r the Summerton school district are now paying a contingent fee of one dollar per month and if a measure is intro- C duced to increase this I shall oppose it.

The ceremonies were under the aus- S ies of the Grand Lodge of Ancient 1 Free Masons, with Grand Master Geo. T T. Br-yan of Greenville otticiating, aid- C d by Past Deputy Grand Master.

The exercises were opened with prayer by the acting grand chaplain Rev. L. B. McCord, pastor of the Man :ling Presbyterian church, followed ith music by the band and a hymn by a specially selected choir. The ;tone was placed in position' by the 3rand Muster aided by his fellow offi ters, and when this ceremony was con :luded Mr. Bryan delivered an address. Phe remarks of this hiah otheial were .u: only fittinu and beautiful, but in maarly every sentence there was a les on teaching mnorarity. We regret hat time will not p -nit the writer to ven give to the readers a synopsis of his address. After the open air ceremonies the ssemblage went into the court room to iear Dr. Howard Lee Jones, the orator >f the day. This portion of the exer ises was presided over by J. H. Leses te Esq. who, in a splendid speech >inted out the object of the gathering, .nd then introduced the speaker. Dr. 'ones is a son of General Robert E ee's staff chaplain, and the securing f this distinguished gentleman for this ecasion was indeed fortunate. He was horoughly at ease with his great sub ect, and for over one hour he held his earers spell-bound with his magnifi ient eloquence Everybody that heard is grand address went away feeling t hemselves amply repaid for having raved the threatening elements. At the conclusion of Dr. Jones' peech, Mr. Lesesne varied the pro- s ram by -illinq upon the few veterans resent to come forward that he might i resent them to the a.dience, it was ideed a very thoughtful and impres ive incident. Captain D. J. Bradham tas ask to say something for his com des and he did so well. Major Levi was Introduced to the udience. and he devoted his time to alling the attention of the audience ) the purpose of the monument, and e spoke with deep emotion as he re ounted the meaning of the shaft soon > point heavenward in attestation of s be reverence to the people of Claren- I on have for the soldiers that followed e. He asked contributions, and iere was subscribed about $460 to be >llowed by more stibscriptions which ill be collected by the ladies in barge.

There was an interestin:: meeting in the court house laist Saturday. called by the Supervisor for the purpose of considering the matter of property assessment, and also the laxity that prevailed amoni the township asses sors last year which caused a large amount of property to be lef, off the books. The attendance was good every member of the equalization board was present except the repre sentative from Midway. After dis euss'ui the advisabili.y of having the present. law for collecting the tax re turn; repealed, and returning back to L the old system, it was the conclusion C )f the meeting to continue the present E law: it was shown there was no fault ith the law. but the fault lay with F :hoseentrusted with its enforcement. B Those present were as follows: Ful- C .on, N. L. Broughton; Calvary, P. B. D Eodge: Friendship, C. W. Brown: C 3t. Paul, J. H. King: Santee, J. M. G 3arwick: St. Marks. 1. N. Tobias; Con- i ord, J.

Senator U typelt was also present to advise with he Board. The Auditor bad prepared ,comparative statement showing the D ,ssessed property in 1912 tbe first year Di he returns were takqn by the town- In hip boards, with that made by the ame board in 1913, which by compar- Sa ng will show the vast amount of prop- D( rt.y left off. These figures are inter sting as all of the taxpayers are con- Ti erned. We will state here, the Au- C .itor is daily 6nding the shortages in Ca nd assessments, and is placing them N ack on the book by additionals. The B gitation of this matter will do a whole t of good, and in the future we be leve the assessors will see to it there O rll be no further complaint.
