To the E ii'.or The Daily Item; Not withismanding the majo)r por'tion of the business s-etion of Manning is in ruins, a sight that beggars descrip timo. from the eiTects of the terrib'e tornado t-hat visihed that beautiful lit r- :own last Friday afternoon at 3:55 0'clock. her people have been lavished wiith otTerz, of aid and real assistance fim the country side folk and the good people of nearby towns and cities. Particularly are the good people of aaning grateful to those of Sumter, Alcoli, Brogdon and Harvin. Tne generosity magnanimity displayed by Sumter and her entire population has :eeply touched the people of.Manning As soon as the news spread, in less han an hours time over 100 automo biles were enroute from Sumter, and )ther points carrying surgeons and urses, and a special train was made 2p in Surmer by her citizens, carrying he chief of police of Sumter and other >fficers and more physicians and nurses tnd a large force of men with requisite mplements 'and other paraphernalia or removing the debris so that quick id could be rendered in removing the lead, dying and maimed who were ,inioned beneath the mass of ruins umter has done her part well and 2obly and in sorely afflicted Manning re a people whose gratitude and ap ?reciation are exceeded only by the generous magnanimity of Sumter's itizenship. Nor does instances of big aeartedness end with this narrative. qr. D. XV. Alderman and Sons Com >any, of Alcolu, S. C., offered the town )f Manning to take heir entire force. rom their saw miils,planingsmills and -ailroad to Manning and remove the ebris and put the town in shape for he rebuilding-a most generous offer, Lad a sight it would be to see this army )f well trained workers from this bigI >ant at Alcolu moving in union under ;he masterly guidance of this master )f industry, Capt. Alderman, doing ihat? "Doing unto his neighbors as he vould be doae by." Nor does all the rory belong to these. Passers by in utos and other vehicles would nften ;ee those in the humbler walks of life both white and colored) wending their ay Manningward to do what they :ould to aid the dead and dying and naimed-for the report was first cur -ent that the number killed and pin oned beneatn fallen buildings ran ray up into the hundreds, due likely o the great excitement incident to the )casion. It all shows the power of nature in -evolution, the magnanimity of man o man, and least but not last man's ratitude and reciprocity for the good hings that is done and given him :haos, generosity, reciprocity. In the inal reckoning we miy be amiss, some >f the material things of life, but in he building and perfecting of that ,vhich in man is immortal-his soul -are we not the better for seeing and xperiecing the exemplification of the Iundamental teachings of the Good ook ! In feebly expressing the praise for 3uter, Alcolu, Brogdon, Harvin and ther towns for their generous re ;ponse, and the reciprocal appreciation )f Manning, I rejoice at the good deeds )f the former and mourn with the lat er in her vicissitudes. for my material terest.s and the ties of never ending riendship, blood and kindred bind me ike, closely to each. Our afflicted 2eighbors should keep in good cheer mna remember: -My soul will bless the "Lord of Hosts" And praise His holy name; ho tenderly forgives our sins And healeth every frame. e waves destruction from our path In kindness crowns He all; de satisfies and gives new strength To creatures great and small. 'rom Sinai's lofty summit He Proclaimed commandments Ten; n anger slow, Ina mercy great. 'Tis thus He deals with men. n pity He remembers well That we are grass and dust; pon our sins He drops a tear, Our faith -He holds in trust.

(By Arthur Harvin. 1882 ) I trust that I have partially given npression fo the sentiments of the 1:n ounded gratitude of a sorely afflicted >eople and am greatly tempted to sug rest a system of procedure to secure funds with which to restore partially he losses of the most needy. and would .ake the initiative but for fear of ounding the pride of a brave and stern citizenship. This should, how. ver. be dona for there are thousands who'would be glad to contribute their ites towards, the restoration of Man ing, a town which had in former and >etter times contributed in like man 2r to the building and rehabilitation f other aflicted parts of the earth. BEN H. HARVIN. Har vin, S. C., Mlay 10, 1915. Who Will Hop The Col. Next? Elditor The Manning Times: I read a few weeks ago a communica tion from Col. D. WV. Brailsfard in which he criticised the County Pen sion Board. I have also read his com mumcation in the issue of the 12th, in which he replies to two membors of the board. It is not my purpose to get into a newspaper controversy, neither is it my purpose to defend the mem bers of the board, they are able to take care of themselves My purpose is to make a correction of ona of the state ments made b:y Col. Brailsford. Now, I have a very hi:.h regardl for Col. Brailsford, and I do not believe Col. Brailsford would knowingly make an erronous statement. I think he is conscientious in his belief that there is one Turbeville in the county on the pension list, but he is mistaken. Mr. Michael Turbeville, the only one of the family in this county who served in the Confederate army. died on July the 4th. 1893. 1 have not taken the time to get the information, but I do not tlhink the State was paying pen sions at that time: if it was I feel quite sure, Mr. Mike Trurbeville never did make application for a p'ension, as he never did rereive nnythi ng from that source. I would not have svritten this, but I live among the Turbevilles and know them all personally, and feel that, in justice to them. the statement of Col. Brailsford with reference to one of the family unjustly or illegally drawing a nension should be correctd. R~espectful ly, D. L. GREEN, Turbe ville, May 14. 1915. A Card. Mr. Bainorm, ple Lse allow us space in voor pap-:r to extendl to all of tnose who in any way assisted us, or' offered to assist us. and spoke words of comfort and sympathy to us in our recent be reavement.- May Heavens richiest blessings ever abide withi themi. Many were the words of deepest sympahy, sorrow, and. comfort spoken to us, when every where was naught but the darkost gloom, save as we would look toward Calvary and think of how Hie sullered for us, "I gave, I gave my life for thee, What hast, thotu done for me." This thought and the hope~ of meet ing our darling at the beautiful gate, together with the symnpaty of loving friends, have hel ped to soothe out' sur rowing hearts, and comfort us as noth ing else could do. uI C. -a Mt's H. C. Ragett. Praise The Warehouse System. A good deal is being said about a secret organization among the farm ers but if there is such, an organization in thisicounty, it is not generally known While if no such a movement is in ex istance I feel quite sure it will only be a short time before the farmers and laboring men will come together, and pull for what they conceive to be the best interest of the whole people. W bile Governor Manning, and Com missioner Watson. is flaying such an organizati(n and saying that the farm ers should come out in the opening. But right here I want to say that I do not think I would be out of place, neither off the subject, if I would say that last spring when rules and regula tions were being die-ssed to govern a primary election, i;, .. .s not fought out in the opening, but behind closed doors until those who participated in framing the rules that was made law at the last session of the legislature was assured, that they would have a majority in the convention. While I know some will say that rules and regulations was being framed that would guarantee an honest elec tion, and this I have never doubted, and in my mind the farmers' secret organization which is said to be mostly of a political nature, is for the sole purpose of having men as their repre senta'ives that will stand :by them at any and alI times, regardless as to what any man or set of men might say that would guarantee the farmers and labor ing people of South Carolina, an honest return foritheir labors. Yes, I believe, if there has ever been a time in the history of our State, that the majority of our lawmaking body should ne men who are in sympathy, and knows the desire and need of the farmers and laboring man, it is now. Take the State Warehouse system which promises to be the greatest bles sing that ever come to the aid of the farmers, and see 'who fought it the hardest at the last session of the legis lature. Because, in my mind, with other States taking up the warehouse system and putting it in operation, we are absolutely assured a much lower rate of interest and better prices for cotton, while some man will say the warehouse system is nothing but a political get up. but such a man had just as well tell you that the cold stor age in the west is worthless. Take a man now who borrows $100, and he gives his note for the $100, he gets $92, which makes the rate of in terest 9 per cent. and take the man who borrows $1,000 to $5,000 and usual ly be is required to leave as much as 20 per cent of this amount on deposite, which actually brings the rate of in terest up to 11 per cent, and this does not include the cost of fixing the pa pers, and I have it from good authority that the cost of fixing the papers for a loan of $1,000 will cost as much $50, and the larger the loan the larger the fees. Now let any sane man figure for his own satisfaction and he will find where the profits of the farmers have been going all these many years And take the average merchant wio has to borrow mon as ihe sae above named, and is it any etader ths he Is forced to charge a bigh price for the supplies the farmers must have to make their crops. I think not. But as long as a majority of our law making body is composed of bankers, bank stockholders and money lending attorneys, I do not think we can look for much relief, so let us get together and when elcection time comes again let us send to Columbia as our repre sentatives from the mountains to the sea, men of intelligence, business abil ity, etc.. who will stand heart, head and shoulder for what they know will benefit the masses, and good will and propriety to all men will prevail. Respectfully, H. H. MEDLIN. A Tribute. In the death of Editor Louis Appelt of the Manning Times the State of South carolina and the County of Clar endon looses a strong legislator, the newspaper profession an able member and the common peop~le a staunch tri bne. In saying this, we are not prompted by motives of personal friendship-for while Mr. Appelt and ourself, were po litical friends, and on good terms per sonally yet, there has never been any personal intimacy between us. We say this in a spirit of giving credit where credit is aue, and in re cognition of the fact that this man, now dead, when living, did his best to advance the interests of the people. and used his large influence onmy for the good of his country in a fearless en deavor to do his whole duty as God gave him light to see it. A good man is gone; a staunch de fender of the rights of the common people. May his example continue to bear fruit, peace to his ashes.-The Scimi tar, Abbeville. Resolutions.

James Barron William Wolfe Theola Brogdon Elizabeth Coskrey Annie Dickson Metta Levi Jeannette Plowden Sue M Sprott Addie Weinberg Rose Weinberg Echoes From The Trustees' Convention. Trhe convention of school trustees of larendon county met in the grand ry room yestery. While the attend ce was not large, yet it made up in al and enthusiasm this deficiency to great extent. The Compulsory School Attendance .t was the tirs; 'matter considered. It as read section by section, and dis ussed from almost every angle possi e. A motion prevailed that the trus es association of this county go on cord as favoring that law, and giv g it their endorsement. This was nanimously adopted by a rising vote. There are two ways by which this w can be put into operation in the arious school districts. One is by getting up a petition sign d by the majority of the qualified elec rs in the district. Trhe other is t~o ae an election upon the request of )ne fourth of the electors in the dis rit. If the latter way should be de ~ided upon. then this election must be eld for 1915, not later than June 8th. The meeting then took the nature of ound table talks on various topie- of terest to the schools an'l their man geent by the trusters The following we adopt.ed as the ruits of a part of I hese dis'~mssions aod he legislaitive delegation from this ounty will be aske.d to have the same nated into law. "Be it rsoivedl hy the Ciaren~dou ~ounty Trustees Association, That in ,rder that taxable property may be isted upon the books, so that th.e high st degree of etlicienevy may be attain d, that the ottice of County Board of tssessors be abolished, and the duties ow imposed by law upon such board e assumed by the Trustees of the var us school districts in the county." If this very valuable piece of sug rested legisle.tion can be adopted. it qill mean a great deal to the schools )f the county. I wish it had been possible for a larg r attendance, but conditions were ~uch as to prevent t his, Taking every hing into consideration, it was a pleas nt nd profitable meeting.

True, it is, we think this town Is quite busy place, but it seems that this is ne week that very little happened bat would be of interest to the read ig public. About the latest thing re orted to your correspondent was by is good friend, S. A. Brunson, who flls him that he has corn taseleing ut. while his friend H. C. Carrigan, alks up and says he is ahead of Mr. 1runson, that his is a shooting, and 2e writer had.noticed that for several ays that Bob Carrigan and Adolphus Irunson has been wearing very light hoes, something that looks like they iight be called fast runners instead of asy walkers, hence 1 have just about ached the conclusion that they (Mr. arrigan and Mr. Brunson), mistook he shooting of Mr. Carrigan's corn )r the guns in Germany, and was pre aring to make it to Tawcaw.
