We want all of our readers and es pecially those who grow tobacco ii read the advertisement in this issue o Cothran and Moore the proprietors o the Central Warebouse. These tw< young men are going after the bust ness with a view of building up a rep utation, e.nd your patronane will hell them do it. We direct attention to the advertise ment of the McCollum Brothers in thi issue. This concern has been doin: business with the people of Clarendol and tbe surrounding counties for years and they have grown from a small be ginning until they are looked upon a standing with the bighest. Whbat don it? The square deal. Those who failed to enroll on th Democratic club books are now debar red from voting in the primary, an they have themselves to blame, bt. esuse. warning has repeated! been given, not only through the new: pip~ers but personal pleas, and no ont can complain if he has lost a privileg that he shnnld hold dear to him. The warehousemen of this town are 0 certainly hustling for the tobacco btsi ness and those who are not afraid of a little expense are getting it. Go to these houses any day and you will find farmers from sections that have tried L other markets but prefer to do business with the warehouses in Manning. Bring your tobacco to The Times ad vertisers. Affidavits are almost as worthless y these days as are the words and charg es of many men. It is said that an. body will sign a petition, and it may al so he said that affidavits are about as . asily procured especially in matters affecting partizan politics. Therefore it is well to give very little credence to the atdidavit-maker, or - the affidarit producer. The Times editor was especially fav ored-the past week. Mr. J. L. John son of Davis Station, brought him some nice water and muskmellons, Mr. Clar ence Mathias of near Manning brought him a tine melon, and Mr. Clifford Lloyd brought him a pair of the finest and prettiest Elberta peaches he has ev er seen The Lord loves a cheerful receiver as well as a chenrfl 'giver. Next. Died at Dallas, Texas Miss Harriett Estelle Harvin on July 18th. aged 47 vears and 9 months. Miss Harvin was from Clarenaon county, a daughter of the late Samuel W. Harvin, and she leaves one sister surviving, Mrs. B. P. Broadway, who brought the body to its last resting place. The funeral took plaee last Wednesday Rev. M. J. Kyser of Paxville conducted the service. The pallbearers were the old bchoolmates of the deceased. The Times of last week underestima ted the amount of tobacco placed on the filoors of the warehouses in Man ning last Wednesday the opening day. It made its estimate in the early part of the day when it thought the bulk of the tobacco had arrived, but subse quently about as muc4 came in. It was the biggest "break" ever pulleg off in Manning, and the books of the warehouses show the act,.:al weigu. to have been 97.000 pounds. The prices were satikfactory. Last. Monday was motion day with Judge Wilson. He had before him a large part of the Sumter Bar, arguing motions for iojunctions, and other caus es There was a habeas corpus pro ceeding in which application was made for bail in the case of the State against Lorenza Perry, and Ellen Perry, charged with the killine of Lorenza Perry Sr., on the farm of J. C. Stukes near Brogden's. Bail was granted in the sum of $1000, each. Among the lawyers present were Hon J. H. Clif ton, Davis Moise, Harmon Moise, Hugh Hayneswortb, A. B. Stuckey. There-is a splendid opportunity for Boys and Girls to.learn to save and at the same time get well paid for it.

McCord pastor of the Pres byterian church conducted the service. Mr. Tobias leaves a young widow and his aged father to mo-urn his loss, and a host of friends here and in Sulligent where he made his home. Olanta Enjoyed Big Day. Saturday witnessed the largest gath ering in this town that has been seen here for a many year, the occasion be ing what is locally called "the old sol diers' picnic." It is estimated that be tween seven and eight thousand peo ple were here. The day was a scorch ing hot one, but is seemed only to fire the enthusiasm of the crowd. Every one appeared happy and contented and in good humor and no unpleasantness marred the day. -The town authorities; took the wise precaution of closing "the power-house," as the dispensary is termed, and not a single case of drunkenness was noted, and the extra force of palicemen put on for the day found business dull. - The Hon. J W. Rtagsdale delivered the address to the Veteraus, and charmed his hearers with his glowing tribute to the "Lost Cause." Many counties were represented and the -'ever present" politician was here seeking the hand (and vote) of the -"dear people." The Alcolu Railroad is to put oc an other train in August. This wvili be a reat help to Olanta in many way s. It will enable one to get in and out the -same day, and it is hoped that the au horiies wviil see that the mail will come that way, too. Tobacco is coming in every day, and prices are good. T'he farmers is well pleased at being able to find so excel lent a market at his door.

WATsoN, A Bri:liant Function "lro the nuptial bower I led her blushing like the morn: all Heaven And happy constellations on the hour Shed their selectest intluence: the earth Gave sign of gratulation:and each hill: Joyous the birds; fresh gales and gen tle airs Whispered it to the woods, and from their wings Flung rose. flung odors from the spicy shrub." The marriage of Ensign James Thomas 'lathews and Isabel Uradham last Wednesday eveninir in the Presby terian Church in Manning was one of the most brilliant in the history of this town. The splendid edifice was tilled with admiring frieuds, the decorations were tnost. ;astily arranged, and the occasion a great social evect. The church was decorated with ferns and with the flags of the nation; the flours were carpeted ,with red, white, and blue buntirn: the picture was indeed bristling with American ardor. We have no besitencv in saying the cere mony was the prettiest we ever saw. and those who had charge of the ar rangements must feel proud of their efforts. The ushers Messrs. J. W. Wideman and H. H. Bradham long before the arrival of the bridal party were kept busy set.ting the large congregation, and to get everybody comfortably seat ed they at times were put to it, never theless by the time the party appeared, the congregated relatives and friends, were ready to receive them. The gen lemen of-the party were, in the full dress uniform of the United States navy, and each and all of them were soldiery in their bearing. The groom was attended by the fol lowing comrades: Ensigns Lee. Quar les, Warrell. and Panno yer, all of the United States Battleship New Hamv shire, their beautiful uniforms with their chevrons and epaulettes of gold, and their swords swinging at their sides was greatly admired, and which added much to the brilliancy of the oc casion. Miss Myrtle McDonald of Ludowich Ga., accompanied by Miss Mary Purdy of Sumter, were the first of the p rty to enter and this was accep:,ed as a sig al that the bride was coming: to the accompanimeut of Miss McDonald on the piano, Miss Purdy with full thro:at ed melody sang "Becaus"." as the sweet words enshrined in song, like an echo was fading away. Miss McDonald truck up the wedding 'iareb, ' its in piring notes the party marched into the church-the ladies from the Sun day School room in the rear, and the Zentlemen from the vestibule in the front. Rev. H. K. Williams pastor of the Clarendon Baptist Church at Alcolu. ascorted by one of the young naval >ffcers marched into the church took heir positions upon the rostrum, fol lowed in order by the bridal party, aking their respective places; while he ceremony was being conducted, M1iss Purdy sweetly and softly render ed with appropriate effect"Oh Promise me" Rev.Williams conducted this ser ice in accordance with the elaborate nd beautiful Episcopal ritual using the ring, bis voice was heard in every part >f the edifice as every ear was attuned o catch the solemn words and the re sponses from the happy pair, becaase, "Thus in the Etst they are extreme ly strict, And wedlock and a- padlock mean the same." But as the story of this happy event s better told by Miss Tood in The Xews and Courier, than it can be por rayed by the writer .we take the iberty of reproducing it here. Decidedly unique and withal one of the prettiest marriage ceremonies ever v'itnessed in Manning took place Wed esday night, in the Manning Presby ~eran Church when Miss Isabelle Brad ~am became the bride of James Thoat s Mathews, ensign in the United 3tates navy. The edifice was beauti ru'ly decorated with the national colors ud'potted ferns and there was an im nene gathering of relatives and rriends to wvitness the interesting eer ~monv. The groom and his attending 'riends,Ensigns Lee, Quaries, Warrell tnd Pennover, all of the U. Sj S. New ampsire, wore full dress navy uni ~rms, including epaulets, swords and elts The Rev. H. K. Wiliiams, pastor f the Clarendon Baptist Church, was he officiating minister, using the ring ~eremony. The bridesmaids were Miss ~lizabeth Fretwell of Anderson, Miss ouise Henby of Anderson, Miss Willie ~ulivan Honea Path, Miss Catherine alivan of Anderson, Miss Bess Har in and M\iss Virginia Wilson of Man ine They were all drcssed in yellow ~repe meteor en traine and carried ouquets of white carnations and ferns. rhe maid of honor was the bride's sis ter. Miss Caro Bradham, who wvore a own of pink chiffon with pearl trim nines. The dames of honor were Mrs. V. P. Wa nnamaker of Orangeburg,and i 1rs. Allen Bradham of Manning, who; ore dresses of white crepe meteor: A'ith lace trimmings. There were two= ittle flower girls dressed in white, Miss sertrude Watinamaker and Misss Lella slay Williams, while the ring beairer as Master Herman Bradham, Jr., who ore a white sailor suit and bore the ing on a miniature sword. Just before ,he bridal party entered the church Iiss Mary Purdy, of Sumiler, sang 'Beause," and during the ceremony ;he sang very softly "Oh Promise Me." rhe wedding march was played by Miss dvrtle McDonald, of Ludowich, Geor i. The bride was given in marriage v her older brother, the Hon. A. C. Bradham. She wore an elaborate gown f white duchess satin, court train, vitha lace and pearl trimmings, and her veil was caught up with lillies of the allev. She carried a bouquet of bride's roses'lillies of the valley and ferns. Following, the marriage ceremony a recetion was held at the home of the bride's parents, the Hon and .M rs. D. M. Bradham, wvhen a host of friends ex tended the happy couple hearty con reatulations and best wishes. The bride and bridesmaids cut the wedding. ake with the groom's sword, Miss Caro Bradham cutting the ring, Miss Louise Henry the thimble. Miss Vir ginia Wilson the dime and Miss Bess (arvin the tack. The bride was the recipient of a vast array of handsome and costly presents. ~The souvinirs given the guests at the reception were miniature silk flags and the decorations of the bride's table were the national colors and miniature ships.

The admirers of lev. D F. McLer don the noted Evangelist, who cor ducted so successfully a series of meet ings in this town and at Pinewood paid him a visit last Sunday mornin at Oats in Darlington countj, wher Mr. McLendon is now euaged in hi work of saving souls, and holding th lght to the feet, of the unwary tha f thter might guide their steps aright and become shining examples of eleai living. Oats is a spot in ''God's country," i i- situated within siht of old Lydia onthe oneside, and the *Old Gull. Church" on the other, it is nestled i. the center of a magnilicient, section o farming country, a-I it., and the sur rounding sectton is . '>pled with "thi salt of the earth." Tnese people aro strangers to none. 'hei- homes are al ways open to honest people-go wher you wi:I for miles in that portion c Darlington county, it i, the same way the latcl-stringS of Ohe homes hang! o, the outside, with uae imaginary in scription "oull. and it shall be opene< unto thee, enter, and what ye seel shall ye find, the lamb and the childret shall t3 placed on the sacrificial alta1 for those who partake of our hospitalit and none shall go away discontented or weary." The writer knows tAis people that is to say, he knew the ancestors o most of them, and did their offspring no:, continue the custom of the fore, fathers, it would indeed be regarded sacrilege by the remaining of the oldex ones, it would make their wrinkled faces burn with shame; but they need have no concern along this line, like father like son, the traditions of the fathers are revered by the younger generation. It was the good fortune of the writer to spend one year of the happiest days of his younger life among those people. and, he verily believes that in this association there was inculcated in him many of the principles and sentiments which today abide with them, and which they hold to and cherish. It was therefore, of especial interest to him that he went with the party to manifest the regard of this county for that wonderful man who has consecrated his life for the uolift of his fellowman. The party left Manning in six auto. mobiles at an early hour, six o'clock, and toured through Clarendon, Sumter Lee and Darlington counties, arriving at Oats about 10:30 in time fdr the moruing service. We were received with open arms by Mr. McLendon, his appreciation of this splendid demon stration touched him deeply, and it was appreciated by the large assem b'age who were present to worship. Rev. "Reub:n" Humphreys the pastor expressed the feeling of his people for this visit, and it seernzd to ui that even the little children realized the wean ing of twenty nine men travelling over sixty miles to hear a man preach; as one little girl expressed it to the writer "You all must like Mr. Mac.' That little girl struck the key note, and'in those few words interpreted the real meaning of itwenty seven :cLa from Manning, and one lady aud gen leman from Pinewood travellin through hot sun and clouds of dust for sixty miles to attend a religious service. Yes, we "like Mr. Mac." Why? Because, he came amongst us with his soul burning with the fervor of his earnestness. He came to bring a mes sage of love. He came as few men can come, to speak plain and without leav ing scars of irritit-on. He unsheathed his sword and proceeded to strike with out respect to individuals. He smote where the smotitng'was needed; where men were shackled with pride or ig norance, he released then from their fetters and set them free. He is a MAN, and that is why he won the hearts of this people, and if God spares his life he will win the hearts of many thous ands more We attended two services at the tent, and at each there was a large congre gation, to each, he preached powerful semons. His descriptive powers are inexhaustable, his comparison% are a onderful, and his vocabulary of phrases, some of them seemingly un conventional leave these sound ringing in the ear for time to come. One of the features of the mor-ning meeting. was up:>n the arrival of the visitors,his feeling remarks, and his requiring them to stand up that his people may see the people who tbus honored him. He preache:d a magnificient sermon, it was tear fetching and heart consoling it was as impressive a sermon as we have ever listened at, and was worth the trip to hear. When this service was over, then it was the visiso's became the vict ims of a ush, everybody wanted us to go to dinier with them, whic~h of course was impossible; so we agreed to bU- divided up in parts, and thus let as many of tbe party be the recipients of the hospital itv of these kind people as possible. Te writer with Messrs. R. H. Davis, F. L. Wolf, T. H. Timmons went to the home of .i r. Henry Josey and there we enjoyed his hospitality such as only the descendant of the old stock could dia pense as his foirebears would have done. At this home we met an aged friend whom we knew in the years gzone by, she no longet is that vivacious and sprightly soul who was the life of the community 38 years ago, but sihe is bent with aae and her bait- is crowned with the frosts of 75 winters, when she took our band and told uis she rememn bered when we used to visit her home, together with the boys and girns of the community, we almost felt like embrac ing the geod old soul, as a token of our appreciation of the days she alluded to, and the remarkable memory she dts played. She now lives with her daugh ter Mrs. Henry Josey and enjoys their loving kindness, and the romping uf her grand, and gr-eat-grandchild-en. May her days continue to be blessed and long, and her mind be as clear as when we saw her Sunday. All of our party enjoyed every moment of our stay in tnis nome,-it was really home. '1be after-noon service was also large l attended, and the peopyle heard an other splendid deliverance. Tney heard the scripture defined in language that he who runs may i-ead. There were two features to this meeting both of which were unexpected. One was, M. McLeardon anirunced that persons in the atudience repeat a verse of scrip tnt-e and lhe would tell them where they can tind it in the bible. The con gregation for several minutes fired _at him the verses, and without hesitation he would give them the chapter and verse, and sometimes a person would get his ver-se a little mixed and the reacher would repeat it for him or oe. always following with where the paiicular verse can be found. Then he aunounced that, for- the bene it of the visitors, lie had asked the col ored people~ to sing, and their were in that congregation a large numnbet- o negroes, their singing was beautiful, such ful sweet voic-s, such time and such r-hymth is se:domn heard. These voces seemed to add an additional fer vor to the words, and as the swayin~a rhinth went thtroug h that congrega tion ever-ybody moved in unison with it.. No wonder "niggers shout-" CThe people wanted us to stay ove: for the night service, and pr-otnised un more sur-prises in the way of singing but the distance was great and wye al ha- to tget back home, so amid the ur ent invitations to return we hoarde( our cat-s and wended out- way to Harts vile. Most of us had never heen thera befoe, it is a very pretty town, wido and wveil shaded streets. splendit stores, and lovely houses, 'evr Ithing has an air of a youns cityv well kept and splendidly governed IWe snck two former Clarendon boy. thee. dtr.

The -a a n y departments. are kept as neat as a pin, and even the beef market is a delibt to enter. We had beard of the Coker store, but we confess it was a revela tion to us. After taking in this beauti ful town to the extent of our limited time we headed our way homeward and ar rived back in Manning at 1:30 a. m. Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Broughton of Pine wood. arrived at Oats ahead of the Man ning party and remained over. The following was the party: Car No. I-J. D. Gerald, Jos. L. Wells, H. C. McKelvey, C. N. Sprott, Harry Gerald.

The party breakfasted about 10 miles beyond Sumter in picnic style, and it was a breakfast fit for the gods. On returning we lunched at Bishop ville. Tne trip will long be remem bered by every member of the party. It Was Hot Staff. The mock campaign meeting which took place last Thursday evening in the school house for the benefit of the Civic League was quite a success, and those who participated in it surely aid give a good imitation of the modern campaign meetings. Many of the "skits" would have fitted the stunts of the famous Gridiron Club that has its banquets in Washington, where ridi cule is permitted to run amuck, and those who are the victims of its shafts must "grin and bear it," or in tbe languageof another, "they cant help it." On the occasion referred -to there were some mighty skin-chafing cracks made, "many'a truth spoken in jest" was the rule rather than the exception. and while those who were the objects of attack took their punishment good naturedly we have no doubt that some of them felt like Latimer's goat w ben stung by a bee as he was jumping the fence. It was really an evening of fun for the audience, and some of the speeches were remarkably surprisingi, aong the numbers most favorably commeited on was the speech of Mr. 13 P. Fulton, whose delivery was su perb, and his humor real .dignified and oriinal.. All of them aid well, acid nowithtanding that Capt. W. C. Dav is' chauffeur was wearing Mr. Wide man' clothes, and 'Videman could not deny it., he did splendid for a newly married man. The presiding offiher Mr. W. M. Plowden, performed his arduous duty with great dignity until the s campaigners trained their' guns upon him, then he forgor, everything and awaited the final outcome and its consequences-"~a guilty c.oncience was troubled." Captain Davis' excoriation of his law arner was that. of the typical stump* wid-jammer, and he- went it on the principle, when argument is lacking, ring in abuse" What S. Oliver O'Bryan did for the crew was a plenty, some of his hits buri d themselvcs deep into the hides;I of his opponents, and brought forth appl ause. Herman Bradham got off some pretty good jokes, and male an eloquent pre sentation of nothing which is cr'arac teristic of the average stump speaker. Mr. H. I. Ellerbe remin~ded us of the sour and disappointed candidate who is facing an antagonistic audience, and he r~ealizes that his voters are few and far be twen. Charlie Wells who gave a history of his past life, of course leaving out parts of it, made a fine appeal for votes and if he keeps it up we have no doubt that he will some day be a winner. It is no exaggeration to say that each and every one of the acto'rs in this unique performance greatly entertain ed their hearers, much more so than the average campaign speakers. H storical Fact. Io naming Clarendon's heroes who so gloriously laid down their live~s on thc field of bittle that of Maj Harvey Digle was strangely omitted. None was so consp1ictlusly heroic as his.
