She was a daughter of the late John P. Strange. The funeral took place in Columbia yesterday. Mr. Clarence Bagetti, who has been assistant postmaster in .the Manning postoffice, bas accepted a position at the Navy Yard in Chnarleston. Mr. Bagett leaves tomorrow morning, and is succeeded by Mr. Carey Smith of Waynesboro. Each year the poultry business is be coming more lucrative and now as sumes proportions that will soon rival any branch of farm industry. Farmers are forced to acknowledge that time old hen can lift her own weight in raising a mortgage from the farm. Tb.e Manning Graded School opened the 1915 session Monday with the larg est enrollment that the school has ever had, about 400 pupils entered, which sow's the great .work of Superintend ent Riser is approciated by the people. The Times office will he closed next Saturday, it ' ag Yom Kippur. or the Jewish day of atonement. This day was always observed by my father, and through respect to the memory of him, we will close our business on this day as long as we run The Man ning Times. When you bear a man sneering at the local papers, you can safely bet ne doesn't spend his time making them better. They who don't see a benefit arising to a town from its newspa pers haven't as much sense as a cove oyster, and are of about as much value to a town as a ten-year-old delinquent. We were told by one of our subscrib ers Saturday that he had been taking The Times for twenty five years and had never missed a copy during the whole time, now that is a record in which we feel proud of. On the 15th of Septem ber 1890 he subscribed, and every year since he paid up and continued the Houses are scarce in our city an hardly a week passes but what ther are applicants for a number of tenan houses. The town loses a number o good families each sear who woul [ike to locate here if they could 6i the houses. Those who have th means to do so would find the erectioi of a number of tenant houses a gooi paying investmient. Died at his home in Manning Ias Monday morning, Mr. J. Elbert Davis ged 70 years. When he was late it oming to breakfast his son, Mr. Shel b: Davis, went into his room and foun< him dead in bed, presumably causei rom heart failure. Besides severa ons and daughters he leaves thre< brothers and a host of friends to mourr is loss. He was a prominent figure ii politics up to the time he retired froa public life, and held office for a grea many years, being auditor three terms md sheriffone teri He was a Confed rate veteran. The bereaved familj iave our sympathy. The funeral was )eld at Jordan yesterday morning. That our town is a live town is easy f demonstration. More business is one here now at this time of the year ,han has been done for several years. We are not desirous of having the pub ic think we are suffering from a boom We are enjoying an increase of busi 2ess and prosperity. Our streets are ,rowed early and late, people and teams ire bringing in produce and money to ,change for goods, and our mercbants ire paying the very highest market 'rices for produce and are selling .oods at "live and let live" prices and .e people are not slow to take advan age of this opportunity and get the argains as advertised by our merch ints. No town will become a good business enter so long as its business men rely n a few merchants to make the effort o bring tr~ade to town. Too often the en in a few lines of trade are- about he only ones that reach outsafter cus om. Other merchants wait, until these men induce the people to come to town nd content themselves with trade that aturally drifts to their place. A pub ic spirited man should ask himself if ,e is doing his part to attract people to ome to town to trade in helping the ntire business community. and no own is a success unless all lines are rorking to extend the trade as far as ossible and trying to bring a larger erritory in the circles in which the wn is the business center. A rather romatic and somewhat un xpected marriage took place in Co mmbia last Saturday. when Dr. Her an H. Huggins of Manning, and Miss farrie Sommer of Pomaria, were made an and wife. Miss Summer was a opular teacher in the Manning Grad d School and was on her way- home rom a visit to friends in Manning. )r. Hugeins is the proprietor of the lggins Pharmacy and is ayoung man I sterling worth. The friends of the oung couple looked for a marriage in be near future, but were taken by surh aei when the event same off as it did. )r. and Mrs. Huggins spent a few days a the Island, but have returned to lanning to make tLeir home, where be. whole town heartiiy welcome them. Tbere is no plac in a pretty little own such as ours for rubbish piles rdum ples as they are sometimes alled.They mar the looks of a town more than one would imagine until one Isito a strange town and finds these fles of rubbish. They are far more ticeable to us in another town than a our own, for here, knowing where hy are and acestomed to passing hem every day, we soon cease to notice bem. Strangers notice them, however, nd that Is what we don't want. Is is ee we wish strangers to remember ur town, but on account of its extreme eatness, not on account of its filth and lct. Dump piles not only mar the isof a town. but they render it n eithy. If the national governmentcan e' d to have a hobby its present obb is to destroy all unsanitary con itins histing in our country. It rould be agood thnglif town govern sent would adopt this same hobby. holish rubbish piles and -all other eh traps of deae and you will find at the sick list in our town will reatly diminish. The President of the Clarendon ~ounty Poultry AssocIation not.Ifies its sembers and all other interested 'in oultry that the orgnization will hold Poultry show at Manning on October 5th, 16th, in connection with the ex dibi given by the county Demonstra ion Agents. Is is the desire of the resident thiat all the members of the Lssociation be present at' the 'xhibit rith their handsomest and best fowls or show. The President further announces hat there will be a meeting of the Sarendon County Poultry Association ,t the court house in Manning as soon a adate can be arranged with Prof. are of Clemson College This gen lemen will deliver an address and as ist in organizing 'the Association for uture work. Tisere will be an'election if ofers at thisi meeting for the comn g year. A notice of the date, when ied, will be~published or sent to each ember of the Association. The president requests a full attend nce at these meetings. All persons nterested in Poultry are urged to be tresent. Governor Manning wants to amend he 'warehouse law so as to provide 'that managers of the warehouses in he State system be. disinterested par ies, neither owners of the warehouses ir the cottons stored therein." This ounds pretty good to some people: but o us i looks like a dagger thrust at he wole business. The system as ow established is being built up on he inducement to cotton producers to >uild their own warehouses and be :oue their own custodians. There is io other means of building or acquir ng State warehouses, except maybe by s a big State appropriation. Then, we see it, there is no better cus ;odian of the cotton than the owners >f the warehouse. The bonds required f these custodians make the cottota safe. It seems to us that if the produc r were not allowed to be interested ir ae warehouse either as part owner os oatron, the whole thing would have tc fall to the ground and the idea woulC .ecome a nullity. If Governor Man. sing is really in sympathy with the ob jects of the warehouse law, it seems t< es that the public is entitled to addi d.onal explanations. - Yorkville En Will you allow me space in your we! tome paper to give a few dots from He bron.

Cotton has been selling for the last few days at 9 cents and a little above, and cotton seed at 30 cents the bushel, while the cotton seed market seems to be the at traction as buyers for seed are plenti ful. T I Walker, Blaney Coskrey and Malcom Scarborough are all in the seed market, with a colored porter or helper to meet the folks on the streets and bid on the seed, while your corres pondent being the Manning Oil Mill's man, is serving as buyer and porter. with Ben Broadway at the office hand ing out the cash, and by the friendly consideration of his friends he is com ing in for a good shear of the seed bus iness. While Dukes Carson, who is manager of the McClary-Broadwav gin nery is always on the job with a smile, and ready to meet the other fellow on any proposition they put up, and says, when a man once finds out how easy it is to let his seed go from the gin to the car, you will not find him hauling seed from place to place any more." Mr. W. C. Williams, will also be on the market in a few days, and with all the men after the seed we belleye we are going to have one among the best markots In the State, and that the farmers may feel assured that they are going to get all that is coming to them. The people of this town greatly ap preciate the presence here of the-fling squadron from Manning in the school auditorium Sunday night, each of the men is a good fellow and Summerton gives him the glad hand. and hopes to have them visit us frequently, much has been said about the argument made by this party in the interest of prohibi tion.
