Every white citizen in Manning -township is entitled to be enrolled on one of the three clubs in this town. The executive committee fixed it so that this club district comprises the whole of Manning township. See to it that you enroll now. The following have contributed to the cemetery fence. W. G. King, - ,00 W. W. Johnson, #2,00 Fred Les esne, $3,00WR Davis, $7,00 C. S. Rigby, $2,50 Leon Weinberg 51,00 Dr. Charles Geiger, 51,00 Julian Wein -berg, 25c., The Herald, 31,25. White men, listen, do not stop to in quire why the rules of the Democratic party have been made so annoying, the thing to do is to determine that you can observe any rule that the biggest man in the State can observe, and make .any sacrifice to preserve your rights as a free white man Attention is directed to the cards of candidates E. J. Dennis, for Congress, W. E. Gibbons, for the legislature, A. P. Ragin for auditor, J. M. Windham, for judge of probate. Hugh P. Gibbons, for Magistrate at Turbeville,and J. W. Heriot for Magistrate at Manbimg. Also W. N. Rush for the legisture. The Individual who is manufactur Ing false reports to deceive people, and to prejudice them in favor of some they are Interested In, had better tfake some voluntary advice from~ us which is, stop now and come to Manning and at tend the meeting now being conducted by Rev. B. F. McLendon. It will do a wonderful amount of good to liars and hypocrites. - The people throughout the State will sympathize deeply with Hon. R. A. Cooper. candidate for governor, in his recent bereavement. Mrs. Cooper, after a very short illness died at her home in Laurens Monday, leaving a daughter five years of age. This is a sad iblow to Mr. Cooper, one which brings to him the sorrow of his friends and the sincere sympathy of his ac quamntances. The attention of our readers is espec ially called to tbe advertisement of The D. J. Chandler Clothing Co., of Sumter, this week. This is the "good old summer time" and the people are hiking out for the mountain and sea breezes, they need clothes and a plenty of them, and the D. J. Chandler Cloth inst Co. is the p lace where their wants can be supplied right now with every thing> up to the minute. We are told there is some difficulty about getting the people of the Doctor Swamp to enroll, but we hope they will go to their club within the boundaries laid out by the committee and enroll this year, then after this election, if they desire to do so, change the boun daries to suit their convenience, but for this year and this election it is im possible to change the boundaries. and those who do not enroll simply disfran chise themselves. Let us urge our friends within the boundaries of Doctor, Swamp go to the Docter Swamp club and enroll for this election. Mr. Roy D. McFaddin, son of Mr. R. E. McFaddin, of Sardinia, has accepted the position of manager of the springs at Cody, Wyoming. It is known as the De Maris Hot Springs and it is a popu lar health resort. You can't down a Salemite. The parents of Roy McFad din have every reason to feel proud of their boy who is making his way up in this far distant State. We saw a letter written by a lady from out there, and she speaks of the young Carolinian very highly, and expresses the hope her own son who has just returned from college will be as manly a fellow as young McFaddin. Those who have enrolled their names on a club book by signing their initials must, if they wish to exercise the right of franchise, go back and sign their name in full, for instance if a man's name is John Alexander Smith, should he sign J. A. Smith according to the ruling of John Gary Evans of the State Executive Committee, it will not answer. Therefore it behooves every white man to see to it that his name is enrolled in accordance with the re quirements, and not stop to argue the justice or sense of it Go now to th' secretary of .your club and get your name on in full, do not put it off an other day, time is going fast and delay may mean your disfranchisement On the day of the campalgd meeting last Thursday Mr. C. T. Ridgeway of Foreston was in Manning, and was stricken with apoplexy, from which he never recovered. He was taken to his home Friday morning, and he died Sunday morning at 11 o'clock. The deceased was about 63 years of age, enjoyed the respect of his community, was for a number of years one of the board of registrati 1, and asked that he be relieved of the position the early part of this year. His death was not unexpected as he was in bad health for a long time, and from his appearance he had all of the indications of one liable to an aporlectic attack. Tdisty Cb PiSG The Tomato Club girls of Trinity had a picnic last Friday. It was so late before all the girls got there, we did not can anything before dinner. After dinner we canned beans and huckleberries. We all had a very nice time as Miss Richardson and Mr. McFaddin try so hard to explain every thing. We elected our officers; Viola Thames for president; Frances Wither spoon, vice president andLouise Hodge secretary. We then left to go home atera jolly time. Hope to have an other one soon. Odkale Cb Nesting. The Tomato Club organized some time ago by Miss Katherine Richard son met at Oakdale school and elected the following officers.. Miss DeBelle Evans, president, Miss Leona Mc Knight, vice dresident, and Miss Aline DuBose secretary. After a short talk by Miss Richard-' son on the culture and canning of tmatoes, Mr. McFaddin made ,an ad ress on cultivation and treatment of he soil, which was very interesting and instructive, both to the farmers and to the tomato club girls and also to te corn club boys. After dinner Miss Richardson, Mr. 'MeFaddin and the tomato club girls roceeded to demonstrate by canning few cans of beans. The preparation for canning by the irls and Miss Richardson, who were ressed in uniform, was very sanitary ad beautifully carried out. - 4 A Great Revival. The meetmng In the gospel tent is not oly growing in Interest, but the crowds re getting larger, last Friday evening here munst have been 1,500 persons.] ad again on Sunday evening fully 'asq any or more were present to hear the essage earnestly delivered. We have lved In Manning the greater part of or lie, but -we cannot recall ever hav ng seen such an interest for thelsoul's elfare as is now. There are many1 who make no outward "aiattneo eligion who are deeply concerned, Ms 1 theyhave never been before, numbersi o these are not conflned to the creed f the preacher; it we are any judge of hman nature, Mr, McLendon has indled a spark In almost every man's reast which must result in great good -he has directed their thoughts where they have never been before, and re ardless of the nudibers added to the everal churches, he has done and con inues to dos great work in this coun ty. "The evidence is in" and the judg ment is formed, that never in the coun v's history has a man directed so many hearts and miads to a duty to them selves, the land in which they live, and to the brotherhood of man, There is nman, but who ithis heart of hearts1 feels and believes that this ambasador: f God, who Is daily and nightly at the., expense of his physical being, striving earnestly to open the way to the future life. If he strikes hard blows, the con ditions warraznt It, If be lays bare the hypocrisy of man it is for man's good, if heo exposes the narrowness of bigots, it is to enlighten them and fit them to apreciate the tachings of the Naza rene that they will in the future ap proach their fellowman with a catho licity of spirit, to appreciate and really know what religion means. In Memory of My Devoted Father. On June 16th, 1814, at a very early hour the death angel visited our home and took from us our lovsd one, Mr. M. M. Graham. He leaves an aged mother, six brothers, one sister, a wife and five children to mourn his loss, besides a host of friends and relatives. He was always a devoted father, and did what he could for his family. He was in good health until unfortunately he fell across a piece of timber which caused his Illness and death. He was only spared with -us one week after his fatal accident. We sure hated to give him up, but God in His wisdom doeth all things welL Dearest father thou has left us, And eur loss we deeply feel; But 'tis God that has bereft us, He can all our sorrows heal, Yet again we hope to meet thee; When the days of life is fled, When in Heaven in joy to meet thee, Where no farewell tear is shed. Precious darling, he has left us, Left us, yes forever more; But we hope to meet our loved one, On that bright and happy shore, Lonely the house and sad the hours Since our dear one Is gone; But oh! a brighter home than ours, In Heaven is now his own. The dearest one from us has gone, A voice we loved is stilled A place is vacant in our home, Which never can be filled. God in His wisdom has recalled, The boon His love had given Md tho' the body slumbers here, The Soul is in Heaven. His Devoted Daughter, JEWELL GRAHAM, Pinewond. S. C. State Campaign Meeting I Maning. The campaigners arrived in Man ning from Sumter, mostly, Wednesday evening, and were met at the station by a number of citizens with their automobiles and brought to their sev eral places of entertainment. The greater number of the candidates at tended the religions services under the gospel tent that night and every one of them expressed themselves as being very much impresred with the Evange list. Thursday morning the weather in dications were for a rainy day which we have no doubt kept many away from the meeting. but notwithstanding the signs of inclement weather there were perhaps 800 people in attendance, the crowd was hard to estimate, be cause when the speaking first began the major portion of the people were scattered over town, gradually coming on the square, a few at a time, until when the rain drove the crowd into the court house many had to leave be cause of not being able to get even standing room in the building. Chairman O'Bryan after a few pre liminary remarks urging the people not to repeat the disgrace of two years ago when Governor Blease and Judge Jones were candidates, stating that if there was any attempt to not give each and every gentleman present a respectful hearing he would not per mit the speaker to proceed, and that he would not let the meeting continue. He urged that each and every man present constitute himself a committee of one to keep order. Mr. O'Bryan is to be commended for the splendid order and his intelligent and dignified con ductof the meeting. The candidates one and all expressed themselves as being greatly pleased with Chairman 'Bryan's leadership. Rev. L. B. McCord pastor of the Presbyterian church offered up a prayer, and at its conclusion Chairman 'Bryan Introduced Hon. Thomas H. Peebles a candidate for re-election to the office of Attorney General. Mr. Peeples made a splendid impression by his manly and dignified utterances. He showed that during this his first term he had conducted his office sconomically as well as efficiently, of the X3,000 appropriated for his office he has still on hand $2,419.01, that since he has been in office there has been an increased percentage of convictions ad that he has been kept busy giving counsel to the state officers, as well as representing the state in the supreme :ourt. Mr. Peebles advocated a strict ut merciful enforcement of law, but this enforcement should be with rich md poor alike. His speech was well received, and at its conclusion he was applauded. The next spearer was Hon. A. G. Brice of Chester, who is opposing Gen sral Peebles for the position' of attpr iy general Mr. Brice began his re narks with complimentary allusions.to the people of Clarendon, and then 1 sunched off his speech by saying It was rumored that if he was elected he would close up all of the clubs. He iid it was the duty of the solicitors to arosecute law offenders, bus that if he was called upon or aireeted so to do he would endeavor to enforce the law igainst all those who defy It, whether1 ~he same be weapon carriers or liquor ellers. He felt that he was competent1 or the position and If elected would trive to do his duty. Mr. Brice made J ao charges against his opponent, nor lid he attempt to show why he was nore deserving for the position thani he Incumbent. .] J. A. Summersett candidate for Coi froller General occupied the stage I ext. He mentined the several pub ic positions he has held all of which I t was faithful in, was a strong believ-1 Ir in"rotation in omcie." He said he hought when a man has held an office s long as General Jones he should ither go higher up or retire. Mr.1 lmmersett read extracts from his I latorm which has been heretofore ' ublished in these columns, and be seined very familiar with the hand 1ig of figures.1 General A. W. Jones who has been he Comptroller General for a number if years came forward to defend his ad ninistration and to urge his re-election. Lhe main portion of his speech was itatisties, and taxation which was bard o catch from the reading. The candidates for Adjutant and In pector General followed. General W. . Moore the Incumbent who has had ,onsderable conflict with the execu iye head of the State, defended his ad ninistration and claimed that his ef orts was to make the millitis effcient d to bring it up to the required~ His opponent Is Col, Mv. C. Willis of Tork. He criticised the administra ion of General Moore, and claimed that much of the dissatisfaction In the rmlitary is due to the unnecessary in terference of General Moore, that It is his arbitrariness that has brought on issension In the mnillitia. He claimed if elected he would bring on a more harmonious condition, and endeavor to work with, than rather over the comn mander in chief. Mr. James Cansler of Tirzah the per petual candidiate for railroad commis ioner opened up for that office-sine ur, and amused the crowd with his jokes, and grimaces. He discussed the duties of the commissioner and' claimed the office had not looked after the in terest of the masses, but if he was elect ed he would not be found riding about in private cars with railroad officials but that he would earn his salary. This is about the '-steenth" time Cans lr has run for the job. Hon. C. D. Forter of Spartanburg, the man who introduced and had passed through the House the much discussed "Fortner Bill," which provides for the prohi'bi tion of white teaohers in the negro schools came next and he shot right out into a discussion and criticism of the manner In which the railroad com missioners are being paid for doing nothing for the commercial and travel ing interests of the State. Fortner does not mince words, he calls a spade a spade, and will get votes. Rain interfered with the game, and the crowd that could get in packed the court room where Mr. Fortner conclud ed his speech, whether it was the mighty thunder of his voice that shook 1the heavens and brought rain we do not know, but it came and it was real wet. The rest of the candidates made talks, these were Hon. .. H. Wharton, who is well and favorably known through the length and breadth of the State, and noted for geniality, and handshaking. Mr. George W. Fairey of Calhoun, Mr. W, I. Witherspoon of York, and Mr.Frank W.Shealey of Lex ington. In our judgment Mr. Shealey made a very favorable impression, of course Col. Wharton has many friends in Clarendon who will be pleased to vote for him, but Mr. Shealey and Mr. Witherspoon. as weil as Mr Fortner will have to be reckoned with. The candidates for lieutenant gover nor are W. M. Hamer of Dillon, who is largely interested in cotton mills. Hon. B. Frank Kelley. of Bishopville, Hon. ,1. A. Hunter of Bamberg. Mr. Hamer started the ball to rolling with a nice little speech asking the people to honor him with this position. Mr. Kelley was received with consid erable applause, and well he might have, as he hails from Bishopville, and is well known in Clarendon and Sum ter counties. Mr. Kelley is a good speaker, has the appearance of astates man, he has had considerable legisla tive experience, which to our mind is asolutely necessary for the proper con duct of the position. Mr. Kelley made a good speech teeming with peace and goon will. Ie was followed by Mr. Hunter, of Bamberg who claimPto be a school teacher, but that he is a mem ber of the legislature, and proud of the distinction of being a member of the asylum investigation committee. When he was abont to conclude his talk some one in the audience asked him how he stood between Blease and Smith, to which he sharply replied "I am for J. A. Hunter," and right he was, the question should not have been asked. nor was it anybody's business who Mr. Hunter would vote for the United States Senate, Hunter's reply brought forth applause. Chairman O'Bryan before introduo ing the candidates for governor, an nounced that candidate Charles Car roll Sims, of Barnwell, and J. B. Adger Mullally of Anderson, were unavoid ably absent from the meeting. We give in this issue our impres sion of the speeches, In doing o however, we desire. to state here the applause given to Mr. Manning was largely by his friends from Sumter as there were many of them in the au ience. It looked to us that they came to Clarendon to boost their county man d we do not blame them for in him they have a good man. Our reason for directing attention to this particular applause is to prevent an injustice be ing done or a imisapprehension going abroad as to the status in this county. r. Manning will receive a nice vote here so will other candidates for gov ernor. Mr. Clinkscales will get a good vote, although many expressed themselves as being disappointed with his speech and are asking wIat has be _me of his bold position for compul ory ~education?. There was nothing that we could find in Mr. Clinkscales speech which indicated that he was go-~ Ing after compulsory' education very hard, however he is a formidable fac or in the race, and in our opinion, un less he gets more prononced on the natter of compulsory education that e stressed so strongly when he said he would be a candidate for governor to will lose considerably. The man in oair opinion that made the best impression is R. A. Cooper of aurns. If Cooper can get a fair ~hace to reach the people he will ~rawl to the top in this race. He im ressed everybody by his open and lignied manner, his manly declara lons ard his strong common sense. Watch out for Cooper. . T. Duncan appears to be obsessed with the idea that there is a system of hich Mr. W. A. Clark is the controll g factor, but what Duncan is Iriving at we confess our ignorance. Hon. W. C. Irby Jr., of Laurens, id not appear to impress this people ith his apparent grouch against the otton mill owners, not having cotton stills in this section, the masses cannot ppreciate Mr. Irby's grievences he de uiresto remedy. As we stated in the ntet Mr. Manning was received with ond and long acclaim largely from his ~riends who came down from Sumter honor him, but while he was speak ng we listened to hear his explanation fthat portion of his platform which he first gave out relating to the exemp lon of certain property from taxation, ut he did not touch this in his speech here, time was limited .and he could tot go into an extended argument of any question, but elsewhere in thisis sue is his statement which is publish ed as an advertisement. Hon. John G. Richards one of the tandidates is well known all over the State, having canvassed it several times, and each and every time he was regarded a strong debator. We think is reference to coat tail swinging is one of the strongest points he made, and his exposition of compulsory eda. cation was strongly put. Hon. Charles A. Smith, lieutenant governor made a strong, and forceful speech, and while it was recognized that he was not in good voice, being hoarse, many in the audience were struck with his magnifi lent, personality, and he made votes in Clarendon. The writer has been associated with Mr. Smith for i num ber of years while that gentlemen was a member of the House, and later when he came to preside over the Sen ate, and, he has no hesitency in saying that he regards Charles A. Smith the equal of any man in the race in ability and integrity, that if he is elected, he will make South Carolina a magnifi ient governor. Mr. Smith has pre sided over the Senate as a statesman should. He was always courteous but firm, absolutely fair in his decisions, always ready to help those whoom he presided over when in a parlimentary tangle. Personally the editor of The Times, shall If he lives, cast his vote for Charles A. Smith for governor, believing that in doing so he expresses the appreciation of Clarendon county 'for the help and courtesies shown their Senater. He further believes that whatever successlhe.attained as a mem be' of the Senate he owes much to the kindness of the presiding officer. Hon. Mendal L. Smith is anothei forceful caracte in this contet, ant1 we regard him the orator of the entire bunch. He too, has had much lecisla tive experience, and is fully capable to give this State a fine administration. Personally we regard him very bighly and worthy of support. He will get a good vote here we think. The last speaker was Hon. Lowndes J. Browning of Union. He was a mem ber of the House, and chairman of the Ways and Means Committee. His speech was so badly interrupted by the crowd breaking up that we were unable to hear it, but some who did hear him say they liked it. - As has often been said by the writer, the people have an opportunity to make a good selection without half trying, most any man they might se lect is a good man and will make a fine 'governor, therefore there is absolutely no excuse for anything like factional division, but the voters should be per mitted to go to the polls unprejudiced and vote as their judgment dictates. Statement Sumter, June 17.-Richard I. Man ning, of Sumter, candidate for gov ernor, announced today th.t he is op posed to the policies of Goy. Cole L. Blease. "Several months ago," said Mr. Manning, "I publicly declared that I should not, unless forced to do so, recognize the existence of two fac tions in this State; the people of South Carolina and the welfare of South Car olina are greater than any man in this State, be he who he may. I have many friends who voted for Blease and many who voted for Jones. Neither Blease nor Jones is a candidate for the gover norship and this fact should eliminate both of them from the race. Since, however some of the candidates have already injected Bicaseism as an issue in the campaign, I wish to say now, definitely and unequivocally, that I have never been a follower or suoport er of Gov. Blease; that I have not ap prove his course." Declaring that the "most fundamen tal defect in our State government to day in the non-enforcement of law," Mr. Manning said that the citizens of South Carolina should co-operate ag gressively in impressing upon all the people the highest respect for law will be determined largely by the attitude of the governor to the enforcement of laws," he added. On two vital questions before the. people of South Carolina Mr. Manning expressed the following sentiments: "The time has come for plain speak ing it has been said in other States, and it has been said even in our own legislative halls that we are a lawless people. Even the idea that this is true must be wiped out. If the people do not wish a law it must be repealed; but, if I am governor, while it is on the statute book it must be obeyed; and this is whether it is against carrying concealed weapons, the illicit sale of liquor, race track gambling, or what not. "Another duty which devolves upon he governor is that of considering par-* ons. There are many cases in whichj prdons should be granted but I shalli edeavor to see that the verdicts of iries and the judgment of our courts shall stand. I shall always be willing o hear arguments and to be appealed to by reason and justice; yet I serve no ce now that after a fair trial those onvicted of applying the torch and isking the lives of innocent people, ad destroying property by fire, yegg en, safecrackers, pickpockets, and above all those who attempt outrage on ur women. need not apply for par ons." Stressing the importance of educa-. ion, especially of doing more for the ommon schools and bringing them up o a minimum seven months' term, r. Manning said he favors better sal aries for teachers, a larger number of eachers for the public schools, longer terms, medical inspection of pupils un der supervision of the State Board of Education in co-operation with the Stte Board of Health "with due pro vision for the 'protection of the pupil." Mr. Manning stated that he favors local option compulsory education, giving to each county the right to vote whether it wishes to adopt the plan or not. In this way, he declared, a sentiment would be developed that would later take care of compulsory attendance. Favoring a land registration act that ould guarantee title and boundary ines-this would be optional and not ompulsory--Mr. Manning pointed out that this would reduce the cost of bor rowing money, He also favors a sys em of rural credits "which would furn ish money at a low rate of interest and for a long time, so that farmers could buy and own their own farms, and by low rates of interest and on long time it would cost them less than the usual rent.". "I should," stated Mr. Manning, "if it were not unconstitutional, advocate freedom from taxation for a period of ,five years to the extent of the home stead. $l,o00, provided the owner lived on his own farm in the country, or liv ed in his own house in town, granting to the struggling farmers the same privilege now freely given to strug gling manufacturers in cities. Since, however, this cannot be I deem it im perative that we pay particular atten tion to the farmers by teaching agri culture in the country schools, as' well as by sending experts to the farmer to aid him by suggestion." On the question of railroad rates Mr. Manning announced that "there is no reason why Virginia should have lower rates than South Carolina, nor why North Carolina should have lower rates than South Carolina. I believe we can and will have a readjustment of rates based on Charleston as our chief sea port. I favor procuring a a orkable mileage book system-commercial travelers and the public are entitled t this much." To enforce the laws under local op bion as to the liquor question; to pro vide a system of taxation in which the information necessary to equalization can be secured: to improve the roads of the State; to accept the benefits offer ed by the federal government on drain age; liberal support of Confederate Veterans; the maintenance of a strong, well-equipped militia and liberal sup port-of the State Hospital for the In sane "and most ecient management," are some of the things advocated bj Mr. Mauuin.. Mr. Manning served Sumter count. four years in the House of Represen tatives and eight years in the StatE Senate. He is a life trustee of Clem son College. Mr. Manning says he be lieves he is familiar with the needs o: the people of this State and if electe will be governor of all the people "ani endeavor to unite them in upbuilding the State, to do justly, to love merc3 and to maintain and uphold the dignit3 and honor of South Carolina."-Politi cal Advertisement. Haryin-Harrison. One of the most popular young ladies of this town was led tc the marriage altar last Wedr.es day evening in the Presbyterian church by Mr. James W. Har rison. of Walhalla, a young man that formerly lived in Manning where he made a host of friends, and by his upright walk in life won one of Manning's choicest gems. The local correspondent for the Columbia State has writ ten the following story of the happy event. "In the Presbyterian church on Wednesday night Miss Susan Brock Harvin was married to James W. Harrison of Wa halla. The ceremony was performed by the bride's pastor, the Rev. L. B. McCord, and there was a large assemblage of relatives andfriends to witness the inter esting event. The church was picturesquely decorated with cut flowers, potted plants and softly colored electric lights. Just b'fore the ceremony proper Miss Valleye Appelt sang "Calm as the Night" to ac companiment by Miss Annie Gentry of Summerton, then the ushers came down the aisles and took positions on opposite sides of the rostrum as follows: Sam Barron, Alphonso Rigby, Aus tin Sauls and Jesse Sprott. Af ter these came the attendants singly in opposite aisles as fol lows: Miss Willie Spencer of Chester, and Frank Harrison of Charleston, Miss Marion Wells of Manning and Baylis Harrison of Walhalla,Miss Nan Laney of Charleston and Preston Lyles of Columbia, Miss Hannah Miller Harrison of Walhalla and Geo. Fant of Anderson, Miss Mattie Venning of Manning and Mr. Stribling of Seneca, Miss Bess Harvin of Manning and Dan Hydrick of Spartanburg, Miss Kate Harrison, sister of the groom, maid of honor, and Jake Harvin, brother of the bride, best man; Mrs. C. S. Rigby of Manning, dame of honor. Little Lula Harvin of Summerton and Stephen Harvin of Charleston acted as flower children. strew ing rose petals in the pathway of the bride and Joe Bates Har in of Charleston.acted as ring earer. The bride entered eaning on the arm of her eldest rother, L. H. Harvin. and met he groom at the altar, the lat ter coming in from an ante-room. The ring ceremony was used md was carried out in beautiful orm. After the ceremony a recep tion was held at the home of r. and Mrs. C. S. Rigby, where the bridal party was greeted by any friends. Punch was serv d by Miss Julia Sistrunk and ream and cake-were served by visses Minnie Sue Sauls and ileen .Rigby. The bride re ~eived a bewildering array of el gant presents. The bride was gowned in hite crepe meteor and carried .bouquet of bride roses and ferns. The maid of honor wore pink crepe de chine and the bridesmaids wore white crepe e chine with pink girdles. They carried pink carnations and ens. The little flower girl's ress was lace over pink. After the reception the newly wedded couple left in an automo bile for Sumter, where they ook a train for a bridal trip. New Zion. -The farmers here seem to think they have plowed enough this season for they have laid by their corn and tobacco and have gone to topping tobacco. Mr. L. J. Morris spent Satur day in Lake City. Messrs Junius and Earnest McIntosh have returned home from college to spend their va cation.. Miss Lula Haddon of Due West is visiting her sister Mrs. D. A. McIntosh. Mr. Perrie who has been with his sister Mrs. Hodge of Sumtei for the past few weeks returned home Saturday. Mr. R. P. Morris who we have before stated was suffering with rheumatism for sometime is much better for Mr. Morris was out the other afternoon showing his little son how to plant peas wih a cotton planter, and before he knew it he had planted six acres and his little son had not yet caught on.

LOOK OUT FOR CHEATS We have received from the Department of Agriculture at Washington a warning to farm ers and those interested in the industry of raising hogs. We deem this of such importance that in order to keep those di rectly interested from being mis led we reproduce here what the department says about the pro prietary cure for hog cholera that is being widely advertised in the newspapers: Evidence of what appears to be a well organized campaign to delude farmers throughout the country into buying an alleged cure for hog cholera, under the impression that this has been investigated and approved by the United States Government, has reached the Department of Agriculture. Articles praising this medicine, Benetol by name. are being sent out widespread to newspapers. These articles are so worded that it appears as if the Department of Agriculture had received reports from the State of Minnesota showing that the medicine had proved most beneficial. As a matter of fact the one report received by the Department was an unofficial and unsolicited statement sent pre sumably from - the promoters themselves. The Department attaches no importance whatso ever to this statement. It has no reason to believe in the effic iency of any proprietary cure for hog cholera and does not recommend any Under certain conditions it urges farmers to protect their stock with anti-hog cholera serum but that is all. In connection with this at tempt it may be said that the medicine, which is now put for ward as good for hogs, was ad vertised some time ago as a means of killing *tuberculosis, typhoid, and cancer germs, ac cording to an article published in the Journal of: the American Medical Association. At that time it was asserted that the Army was interested in it. As a matter of fact the Army was no more interested then than the Department of Agriculture is now. In-view of the evidence that the attempt to create this false impression is persistent and widespr'ead, all hog owners are warned to communicate with the United States authorities before accepting as true any statement that the Government recom mends any treatment other than the serum already mentioned.
