To comply with the recommendation of this expert the taxpayers wonid raise ahnne three times the money neessary. . There will be a picnic at Turbeville, under the auspices of the Woodman of the World on Saturday June 20th, to which everybody is invited to attend with well filled baskets. The commit tee in charge will arrange to have not able speakers for the occasion who will discuss woodcraft. Everybody knows what a picnic means in the Turbeville section, it means a great big and glor ious time. Died last Thursday night at her home in Turbeville, Mrs. Janie Buddin, aged 17 years, wife of Mr. Jesse M. Buddin. The deceased was married last Decem ber, and was a general favorite in her community. Mrs. Buddin had been ill about three weeks, and all that medi cal skill and devoted attention could do was done, but it was not to be and she was taken to her eternal home. Be fore her marriage she was Miss Janie Turbevilie, a daughter of the late S. C. Turbeville, and she leaves surviving two sisters, Mrs. I. N. Pittman, Miss Marie Turbeville, and five brothers, Messrs. Daniel, John, David. Mike and Sam. The funeral was conducted by her pastor Rev. P. K. Rhoad, and the interrment took place in the church yard of the Pine Grove Methodist church, of which church she was a member. Messrs. E. C. Glenn of Louisianna, and D. P Brown of Texas, interested in the Carolina Cypress Company, with headquarters at Charleston, were in Manning yesterday on their way out to their property interests. .This company owns tne lands in Dials Bay, Woods Mills Bay, and a large quantity in BlackRiver. Mr. Glenn's business at present is to find a suitable location for his plant, which he says will have a pay roll of about $16,000.per month,and the plant will cost in the neighborhood of $200, 000. One of the troubles he is experiencing is to get his plant so loca ted that he will not ran counter to the rulings of the interstate railroad com mission, and the tap line decision of the supreme court. His company may have to build a railroad. if it does he thinks favorably of bringing it on to Manning, providing he can secure con essions from the landowners along the route. Manning needs enterprises,and it isto be hopedlMr. Glenn's company will receive every encouragement to locate here. To acquaint ourself with the expert's report to the grand jury we went to the office of the clerk of court and read it over. but we must confess that we ire unable to glean much information from it. The cocument is a large one md it will take a member of the grand jury or expert to explain its-many ram fications. The most we can gather he wssumes the county is involvea in debt. t'here is nothing in the report to indi. Wte any misappropriation of funds. but he county is in debt. This expert nakes a number of recommendations which may or may not be heeded. We snow of one that will go unheeded. hat is, where he recommends a pro rision for $1,500 for the -court house )onds. Mr. Searson claims the present >rovision is inadequate, that the noney raised from taxation will not )ay the interest and pay off the bonds. . W. Harris & Co. of New York, the mrcbasers of the bonds think differ mly, they bought the bonds and paid nt their good money for them, and we iardly think they would be handing o Clarendon county $60,000 without irst having mace a thorough investi ration to know whether proper >rovision has been made to pay the Iebt at the expiration of the time. But "me of our local mathematician; have >een considering Mr. Searson's court ouse bond recommendation, they say eis away off in his count, instead of wi-ng only the necessary amount to : idate the debt, the samount raised i er his recommendation, would be e in excess of what will be necessary. une of the coming .social events of deeasnwill be the nuptials of Mr. . W. Harrison and Miss Susan Harvin. L'he following card has been Issued: Mrs. W. Scott Harvin requests the honor of your presence at the marriage of her daughter Susan Broek to Mr. James W.

Brother Mac is considering both propo itions, the presence and residence in iny community of such a man as Bax er McClendon enhances the value of aroperty more than banks and busi iess houses.-Pee Dee Daily. A Great And Growing Meeting. It would be needless for the writer a say that the Rev. B. F. McClendon wil-make good in this town. Those who attended his initial meeting last sunday night, in the gospel tents and ;here was a congregation of about 700 souls, will not soon forget the earnest 2ess of this evangelist, and his many pointed, if homely expressions, all of which went straight to the spot he timed at, and as some one expressed it, there were many under the sound of his voice lunless their skins were as thick as that of a rhinoceros, needed a tiniment~ to soothe the lacerated spots he inflicted by his wordy caitigation. le told truths and imparted L .wledge is he went along. No man with Mr. NcClendon's zeal and earnestness can be other than a firm believer in his machings, and before his meetings bare been concluded, we expect the easing up will show he has done a wonderful werk inithis community. He as a service every afternoon and evening, and those who can go will be profited by attending. The next morn ing after the first meeting the evange ist was the talk wherever two or more persons came together. Some criticized his Englhsh, others did not approve of what they termed courseness, but all agreed that he preached from Holy Writ, and that he gave it to his audi ence with sledge hammer blows We have heard other evangelists and we think we are safe in saying this man has made a greater impression than any ever heard by us before, and it will be a great boon to every man, woman and child old enough to understand to devote some of their time to attending the service.

M.: Whereas, the Supreme Ruler of the Universe, in whom we believe, and who doeth all things wisely and well, altough we often cannot understand his work, has seen fit to cause the mighty Reaper of Death to invade the ranks of our Lodge and remove from among us our beloved brother, Isaac Ingram Bagnal, in the 48th year of his age and while in the prime of manhood; Now, therefore, be it resolved by St. Peters Lodge, No. 54, Ancient Free Masons of Manning, South Carolina: 1st. That this lodge has lost a loyal Mason, one who believed in the tenets and teachings of our order, and who endeavored to uphold the principles for which our order stands. 2nd. That each member of our craft has lost a genial friend and a sympa thetic brother, one whose nature was filled with the milk of human kindness, and whose heart was full of love for his fellowman. and who was ever and always ready to assist, and to sympa thize with any brother in distress or need. 3rd. That since we have consigned his body to earth whence it came, we also cherish his memory in our hearts, and commend his soul to God who gave it, and extend our sympathy to his bereaved relatives. 4th.

A very successful year's work has just ome to a close in t1ye Manning graded school. The final commencement ex rises were held last Friday night, when eight boys and nine girls receiv d their diplomas. This was the largest lass in the history of the school, and it as one of the best. The graduating xercises consisted of ten papers pre ared and read by ten members of the lass. They were as follows: Robert Brad am, "Our National Government," and alutatory; Miss Jennie Bowman, "The ural Free Delivery;', Miss Rose Ervin, Woman'sSphere;"Miss Emily Geiger, Woodrow Wilson;" Jerome Hirsch nann, "Ocean Transportation;" Cho ine Sprott, "Our State Government;' oe Burgess, class History; Miss Fannie Bradham, class prophecy; Miss Celeste Ervin, class will; Miss Aileen Fladger, The Bonded Life" and valendictory. The Ioryea medal is awarded annual y to the first honor graduate, and this ear, it fell to Miss Aileen Fladger. .Ezcellent selections of music were Iterspersed throughout the exercises. The other mombers of the class were isses Adelle Timmon~s, Lucile Tim ons, Mary Holladay, Thomas Brog on, Gilbert Hodge, Barney Thames ad Allen Williams. The eighth grade exercises which onsisted of declamations in contest for a gold medal, offered by the Peoples ank so the best declaimer.

The medal was awarded to Georgia White with honorable mention of Julia Wilson. The ninth grade held its exercises on hursday night in the form of a debate on the question of woman's suffrage. he affirmative was upheld by three girls, Elizabeth Coskery, Netta Levi, nd Sue M. Sprott;~ and the negative was argued by three boys. James Bar ron, Berry Sprott, and William Wolfe. t was an excellent debate, the like of which probably had not been heard before. Each debator did very well in eed. The question was decided in favor of the negative, and the medal, offered by thie Bank of Manning for the best individual debator, was award d to Berry Sprott of Foreston. Music was furnished by Misses Ap pelt, Bradham, and Mr. Charles Wells. Tlp commencement sermon was preached in the Presbyterian church n the Sunday previous, by Rev. J. L. McLees of Orangeburg. His subject was the sioryof Moses in giving up a life of ease to lead his people out of bondage through hardship. It was one of the most powerful sermons ever heard in Mannmng. On the whole the closing exercises of the graded school were most pleas ing and showed progress and excellent training. We have one of the very best schools in the State, and it is fortunate for any child to have such association as the pupil body of our school. Every body's child is cared for perhaps, more closely than it is at home. We are told that the discipline is well nigh perfect and the organization is wonderful. Out of 369 pupils only 5 have been flogged since Christmas. Out of a possible 65,000 tar dies there have been only 36, a per centage of 000.5. Anything you want in sheet music S. I. Till has it.

It will be recalled that mention was made in The Times of Madison Centey applying through his attorneys Davis and Wideman, for letters of adminis tration of the estate of Marion Cantey, who it is alleged was taken from the custody of an officer while on the way to jail, and violently assaulted, which resulted in his death. The letters have been granted and the county commis sioners have been served with the summons and complaint to answer to a suit for $2,000 damages. There have been several lynchings in this State, but we have never beard of but one suit brought against a county, that was in Orangeburg, and this case has not yet been determined. We are not sure whether a Judge can direct a verdict in a case like this, if he can, then there is a chance of 'the attorneys get ting a verdict, but if it is a jury case, it is our opinion, there will have to be convincing evidence to justify a verdict of $2,000 against the county. The papers are as follows: State of South Carolina, County of Clarendon. Court of Common Pleas. Madison Cantey. as Administrator of the Estate of Marion Cantey, deceas ed, Plaintiff against Clarendon County, Defendant. COMPLAINT.

The grand jury in its present ment on June the 2nd placed the blame for our county's financial condition upor. the legislative delegation. Now the facts are these viz. When the legislative delegation met with the county board of commissioners, just before the last session of the legislature. This statement was made by the Supervisor in the presence of all the members of the Board, and not one of iem objected to it. The statement was, "We have paid off a deficit of between eleven and twelve thousand dol lars which came over from the previous administration and, have taken care of the running expenses of the county, and we are in condition to start this year with a clean sheet." Now I consider that statements from a county official who is un der bond and backed up by all the members of the county Board sufficient evidence upon which to base our calculations. Right here let me state, that when the above statement was made, Senator Appelt turned upon me and said, "Aha Bob! you objected to the increase in the number on the county board and now you see what they have done." So I was forcibly im pressed with the admirable work which had been done, and I had no reason to doubt the statement of the county board, and I knew that if they could run the county and pay off a debt of $11,000, with a 4 1-2 mill levy, one year, they could at least run the coun ty on a 4 1-2 mill levy the next year. But when we (Dr. Bur gess and I) made up the county budget and figured the 4 1-2 mill levy on the taxable proper ty in the county and al lowing * the usual amount for fines and licenses, we saw that this amount was not suffi cient to take care of the running expense of the county. Then we wanted to know how the county board paid off a debt of $11,000 and took care of the county's running expenses. So we went to the Comptroller General with our question and we secured a promise from the Comptroller General to have the county re cords audited. I am glad to say that the Comptroller General fulfilled his promise by sending his bond ed expert accountant, Mr. L. A. Searson, and having him to make a thorough examination into all of the county offices and Mr. Searson's report not only carries a statement of each office, but also one showing the coun ty's indebtedness to be $21,282.68 exclusive of the bonded debt. and another statement showing Can Y< The For quick selling we for one v l0c.

Pleety of people-thousands of them -have found that it is no longer ne essary to risk being "all knocked out" y taking calomnel whe n constipated or uffering from a sluggish liver. Nowadays Dodson's Liver Tone takes he place of calomel. What calomel does unpleasantly and fen with danger, Dodson's Liver Tone oes for you safely and pleasantly, with o pain and no gripe. It does not in erfere in any way with your regular usiness, habits or alet. Calomel is a poison, a for m of mer ury, a mineral. Dodson's Liver Tone s an all-vegetable liquid. Of course, this reliable remedy has ts imitators. Uut Dodson's Liver Tone as been made to take the place of cal mel right from the start. The label n the bottle always has said so, begin ling with the first bottle sold. And it s widely known today how good Dod on's Liver Tone is as a remedy and hat Dodson never makes extravagant tatements. He says that it 'livens he liver," overcomes constipation reeaby and makes you feel good, .nd if you are not satistied completely rith it Dickson Drug Store will hand iack the purchase price (50c.) to you vih a smile.

CASTOR IA For Infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years lways bears in the. that the county's expenditures from July 1st, 1912 to June 30th, 1913, were $41,220.50. Now, this work was done with out cost to Clarendon county. The statement of the grand jury (that it had engaged the services of Mr. Searson to audit tle county's records at a cost of $150), notwithstanding. With a county board spending $41,000 a year, how can we ex pect to be otherwise than in debt? Now, what we want is a sys tem of bookkeeping inthe super visor's office; such as that rec ommended by the grand jury. Ihave no fight on any one, but just wish to show the facts as they are, and that y6u can al ways expect me to do regardless of politics or any thing else. If there is any portion of my statement not clear enough I will gladly try to explain more fully. Very Respectfully, BOB WHITE. BUY THE BEST When You Buy ! A NEW HOME Sewing Machine!
