RICHARDSON, Agent Girls' Canning Clubs. The Charleston Get-to-gethier-Party. The town of Manning was yesterday honored with a visit from the Charles ton Get-to-gether club who are enroute touring this and other States in the business interests of South Carolina's seaport. The party arrived at 8:30 and was met by a representative body of Manning's business men with automo biles, and as quickly as they could be whirled up town they were taken to the court house square where there was a large number of ladies and gen tlemen to greet them. Mayor A C Bradham did tne honors for the occa sion, and did them well and gracefully. Aafter Metz' band which accompanied the tourist had played a beautiful se lection Mayor Bradham in fitting terms delivered an address of welcome, and then Introduced Mr. Wilson G. Harvey, president of the Enterprise bank of Charleston, who responded in a heart to heart business talk in which he stressed the importance of the people of this section joining hands with those of the coast to make the port of Char leston what it should be,-the greatest on the Atlantic coast. His remarks were full of good hard sense and inter spersed with fine humor. Then Mr. A. V. Snell the secretary of Charleston's chamber of cognmerce was introduced by Mayor Bradham, and he too, talked business from the word go. He showed the importance of the people of this section getting in touch with the seaport and the neces sity of encouraging home enterprise. Mr. Snell was enthusiastic in his utter ances of the future prospect of South Carolina, and with a pull-to-gether spirit the people of this State can save much money at home by embarking in enterprises that are now taking their money abroad He said that not over twenty per cent of the products of our people is consumed at home when there should be all of it induced to re main As it is now these products are sent away in the raw anad we are comn pled to have it brought back in the manufactured state, thus paying im mense profits which can be saved at home The party expressed their apprecia tion for the reception they received at the hands of the people of Manning, many of them had never been here be fore and did not conceal their admira tion for the beauty of the town It was the desire of Mayor Bradham and those who aided him in receiving the visitorsI to induce them to give us a long stay so they could have been shown more of Ithe town and some of the surrounding country, but their schedules had al Iready been fixed and it could not be altered The party was accompanied back to their train by the citizens and given a Tri-Couty Institute.

Summerton, April 25.-Speclal: The country home of Mr. and Mrs. Jeffer son M. Davis was the scene of a lovely wedding Thursday evening, when Miss Alethea Manigault Davis became the bride of Mr. Charles Alexander Har. in. The lower floor of the spacious home was artistically decorated, the color scheme in the reception halls be ing green and white, and in the rear rooms Oink and green. The stairway down which the bridal party came was covered in white overtraced with Southern smilax, and lighted at inter vals with candles. Cedar garlands with white roses intermixed were fes tooned from the ceiling of the room where stood the bridal party, and here beneath a lovely bell the marriage vows were taken. The first to enter were Miss Sue Can tey and Mr. Alphonso Rigby, followed by Miss Emmala Capers and Mr. Laird Huggins, then Miss Jordan with Mr. . M. Davis, Jr., Miss May Davis, as maid of honor, with Mr. Percy Harvin best man. The bride and groom then followed, and the ceremony was per formed by the Iv. C.

Dring the ceremony "Sweetand Low" was softly played by Miss Ammie Teicher, accompanied on the violin by Miss Isadore Teicher, both of Sumter, who also played the wedding march. After the ceremony. which was wit nessed by. the two immediate families. a reception was given, at which the happy couple received the congratula tions of their many friends.

On their return they will live a ew miles out of Summerton. A quan ity of handsome presents attested the ~oplaity of the young couple. Rally Day at Masnning. t was an interesting sight to see the >mato clubs and the boys corn clubs ~aradng the streets of Manning last 3aturday. It was indeed inspiring to ee the girls and boys who are engaged work which will become a profitable dustry in this County. They marched behindl a beautifully lecorated float around the court house uare, sang songs and gave their yells. 'he float bore specimens of canning ~roducts, and the girls wore dainty hite caps and aprons, the boys carried orn stalks, and United States flags. After the parade all assembled in the ourt house where they were welcomed an appropriate speech by Mayor A. . Bradham, who was followed by Sen stor Appelt, Representative J. H. Bun less, Superintendent of Education E. J, Browne. Each speaking to the sub ect of the Importance of the work the trls and boys are engaged in, and ,ach had much praise for the indomi itable spirit of their leader Miss Kath nine Richardson and Mr. C. A. Mc B'addin the demonstration agents of ais County. Miss Edith Parrott, State agent of he girls work made a splendid address n which she sent forth not only the portance of this work, but she show d from the statistics what was being lone and what has already been accom plished since this enterprise has re ~eived the attention of the government Iiss Parrott is a fluent speaker and is wrapt up in the work, it is through her iforts that many counties have been )rganized, and much money that has beretofore left the State for canning products has been kept at home, and a iesire has been created to extend the ork into all manner of domestics and bome culture. Professor C. F. Nevin, of Clemson lollege spoke on plant life, how to pre serve it, the general culture of tomatoes be methods to get the best results as quantity, and quality, the kinds of preparation necessary, the character f soil, treatment of the various deceas s, how to preserve fruit trees, and o to plant them. It was indeed a valuable as well as interesting lecture. The clubs sang the following song iomposed by Miss Katherine Richard Please learn to sing this by the tune Maryland, My Maryland.)

Mayor Brkdham presided and after out lining the purpose of the ieet ing, and giving to the audience such tigures as he had, the dis ussion of the matter was in vited. Messrs D. M. Bradham, W. C. Davis, Charlton DuRant amd others spoke in favor of the own's need for the systems; here was no one to oppose. The >nly difference of opinion was with reference to the present private ownership of the sew rage. W. C. Davis one of the tockholders claimed it was a paying proposition, in, that it was paying a dividend. but Mr. DuRant also one of the stock holders claimed that he had aever seen the color of the noney which the sewerage was paying out in dividends, and he hought the voters should be in ormed with regard to the dis position of this private sewerage whether or not it is proposed be town should buy it out, the price to be paid and all about it. As we understand it, some ormer council granted a fran hise to a stock company to lay L sewerage up Braoks street, ith the understanding that ,uncil was to have the privi ege to buy it from this company Only A Well, if you've never feeling after a Macke spring morning, there's you.

The crowd was not as large as we expected it to be, but this is attributed to the fact the farmers are backward with their work. The children seemed to enjoy every moment of their stay in Manning. Sev eral Manning ladies gave their assis 5 tance to make the occasion the great success it was. Club Meetings. The Democratio clubs throughout the county reorganized last Saturday in accordance with the requirements of the party constitution, elected their r respective officers, member of the county executive committpe, and dele gates to the county convention which meets at the cou.t house Monday May 4th. There was not much interest mani fested in several parts of the county, some of the clubs barely had enough present to select a delegation from, while others took advantage of the slim attendance to choose whom they saw fit, regardless of the sentiment or wishes of the majority. One large club in the county, we are told, held its meeting earlier than the usual time and thus secured the control, b~ut when the usual time arrived, and it was learned that delegates had already been chosen, there was strong talk of sending a contesting delegation, or organizing a new club, but on the ad vice of one who is in close touch with the political situatioa,- it was decided to let it go but to resent the trick at the ballot box in August. We cannot see any need for undue excitement over the election of dele gates to the coming convention, there is practically no issue. It is a mistake to call it a division between Blease and anti-Blease, such is not, nor should it be the case at this time. The only possible issue lies in the matter of tampering with our primary regula tions, and, the muchlagitated question of whether or not the state campaign meetings should be abolished, aside from these two questions there is nothing else for consideration at pres ent. The Clubs in the town of Manning organized without any friction, the only club where any special interest was manifested was at tae Farmers Platform where there were two sets of tickets offered, but the fact is, this was unnecessary because, the club is prac tically unanimously opposed to the suggestion to abolish the county-to county meetings, and it is also in the same proportion opposed to interfering with the primary rules to the extent of restricting the vote to the registration certificates and tax receipts, therefore we say. to have had two tickets was of no importance whatever, and it is no indication of the sentiment so far as the personnel of candidates for office is concerned. It is neither Blease, nor is it anti-Blease. The officers for the Platform club were re-elected without opposition and are as follows: President D. -M. Brad ham, Vice Presidents W. T.

Dele at actual cost with 7 per cent interest, whether council had the power to do this we do not know, if it had, it seems to us they did not give it proper con sideration, because, a sewerage system like everything else deteroates,and may not be worth actual cost, then again, the question arises, will the present sewerage answer for a general sewerage? Of course, it is claimed the engineer who plann ed this said it was large enough for a town of 10,000, we hope this is true because, if it will answer, it is right for the town to buy it, but these matters will be thoroughly investigated and the public informed before the vote on the bond issue is taken. The petitions to council was largely signed asking it to call an election, in fact, we do not know of any one present to have declined to sign. but some of the signers did so with the un derstanding that before the vote is taken a full and complete statement will be made to the public, showing the cost of the project, the amount of bonds to be issued, the streets where the pipes are to be laid, what ar rangements can be made to empty the sewerage into the swamp, (for this is private prop erty,) and whether or not the tax levy will have to be increas ed. The 'Mayor's statement that it was his opinion, an in rease in the levy would not be necessary to meet the interest >n a $40,000 bond issue had much to do with getting signatures for he petition. It is now up the progressive ones to show clear y just what may be expect d.
