Duririg the storm the Jack McFad din residence, with a tin roof, some si: miles west of Manning, was unroofed and Mr. H. J. Haley and his family who occupied the house, were greati: inco nvienced. Of course, everybody knows how t to give advice to the farmers, but iti not too late to plant peas, and som seed can be still had.

Up to the dayv of the storm on th 14th, instant, Clarendon had the pret tiest prospeot for corn that she has ha for many years. The crop is badly blow down and seriously damaged, but if n further disaster befalls us we will sti make some corn.

We hope than will all soon be well again The recent storm has demonstrated that about the poorest specimen of shade trees that we have is the com mon old Chinaberry tree. Many of these were blown down, and one yard five fallen ones can be counted. Be sides having superficial roots these trees make much trash and at times the odor is offensive.

Our annual Farmers Rally and gen eral piceic will be at Trinity school house on Friday July 21st. A number of good speakers have been invited and we expect -a large crowd to attend Trinity is a place where everybody feels at home. We want everybody to come and bring well filled baskets. Bob White. The people living between Sr.. Paul and the Santee will be great sufferers. In addition to the damage already done to crops, the floods in the rivers in the up-country will reach that section the last of this week. The section known as The Bays will likely he a sight in a few days, as it was in 1908. There are a lot of ignorant negroes in that section. They should be warned. Short comings in The Times this week can reasonably he overlooked. as the paper has largely had to run itself. The editor went by motor car last Wednesday to be with his family at Jonesville, in Union county, and ex pected to return Sunday night. He 'vas "marooned" up there with trestles washed away, trains put out of business, the water in the roads too deep for Fords to swim through and the foot logs gone. If you should forget the dates and Mr. Sam Clark is not handy to recolect them for you, just remember that the earthquake was on the 31st of Aurnst 1886, about ten o'clock n. m , that the other August storm which drowned o many negroes on the sea islands was in August 3893. that the Manning cyclone which blew down brick stores and kill ed so many people was on the 7th of May 1915, and that the 1916 storm was on Friday the 14th of July. Democratic voters should remember - the rules require a re-enrollment this i year. The 25th of this month is the last day to get your names on the club rolls. and you must put it there your self.Tf your name is not on thelclubjroll veu cannot vote in the primary, and should you want to vote for some spec ial friend or candidate and go up to the polls on election day and be told by the . managers that you cannot vote because your name is not on the club list you will be very much provoked-with f yourself. When the great storm about two weeks ago visited south Alabama. south Georgia and west Florida. we thought many times of our friend Rev. J. A Anslev who had juat arrived al Pensacola, and thought of the exper ience he was having. If he had wait ed two weeks before moving he could have had some more experience here in Manoing. But then he remembers our cyclone. We venture that the dis tressed people in Pensacola found io him a friend and comforter in their dis tress. Joseph M. Chandler. the well known Su ~ter clothing man, comes out thts weekwith an announcement of a ten days reduction sale of Men's Clothing. bovs suits. mens' and boys' hats. shoes trunks, valises, and everything in the line of a big, gent's furnishing estab ment. Joe Chandler is two well known -in this county for us to comment on his honest business methods, as he has long established a good reputation for selling honest goods and dealing faig with his customers. We call special attention to his large ad in this issue. The Summerton boys went to George a town for a series of games last wveek fand triumphantly took the first game from the sea shore fellows when the storm interfered and the rest of the ser ies was not played. The Summerton Sboys had no fears concerning the fGeorgetown players, but they couldn't stand the east wind while so close to water that was larger than Scott's lake. It is not generally known how Fred Lanhan. anp Will \1eLary got Shome, but they were certain that the I wind was blowing when they left Georgelown. There are all sorts of estimates as to .the per centage of damage to crops from the storm. People about town who e do no farming and know very little about it,. put small estimates en tre Sdestruction to corn and cotton, but ex perienced and conservative farmers will tell you that they are hard hit. One of the worst forms of the damage ' to cotton is the water-sobbed condition of the land. which will cause the cot. ~ton plants to fire and shed its fruit. s Just because the plants are not blown out by the roots is no evidence that the crop ~in this county is not seriously -damaged. ,That lonely old cyress tree down by ,the Ox Swamp causeway which fell and broke down the bridge, has not many sympathizers among the generation of of the last twenty years. But prior tc then there was a nice shallow swimme~ bole near its roots, which was liberally a patronized by the "little fellows," whc a are now about the forty line, and whc - remember the old tree affectionately. The big boys who could swim went tc "fifth brid;-e." until the road author ities wickedly broke up the whole busi ness on account of plies of white shirts on the bridges, shving horses,idodging Iand sensitive women fussing. One of the saddest deaths that has occuried in Manning in many long day: was that of Miss Agnes Hurt, of Gr-ee-n borough, Ga., a niece of Mr-s. T. Slitch Wells, at the bome of Mr. and Mrs. Wells on last Friday night. The de 2cased was the only child of her pa 2 rents, a charming young lady about sixteen years old, and was on a vitsit tc her aunt, Mrs. Wells, and was to have departed for her home that day. Sh( died of a gastric trouble, and was sict 3only about thijrty-six hours. All that affetionat e nursing and the skill o1 ,several physicians cudd a oe but to no avail. Mr. and Mrs. Well: .took the remains to Greensbor'oughl through much diflicuity with train: demoralized and telegraph wires down. News From Gable. Mr. C. P. Gable was called away by wire yestetdvy on account of the illness of one. of his children, who were being op~rated upon in Spartanburg for ap Mr :JiD McFaddin was delighted It~o attend the convention of the young People's Christian Endeavor Society which me-t in Atlanta next w-eek. The McFaddin Mjllsap Co., is non putting in an uip-to-date gin syste-m at The Recent Storm. People are given to saying that all storms are bad, and in this they are correct. Manning has had much ex perience in storms, but in the present instance not only our town, but the er tire county, and many counties in eas tern Carolina share with us the de struction and devastation which visited South Carolina on Friday July 14th 1916. The terrible cyclone which visited Manning on May 7th 1915, demolish ing brick buildings and stores, and kiilibg and wounding many people, is fresh in the minds of our people. But that was only a local disturbance. It came from the clouds above and struck the earth like a base ball, bouncing as it were, its hardest hit being only a few hundred yards wida and extending for about a half mile in length right in the business part of the town of Man ning, leaving death and destruction in its path. But the great disturbance which vis ited us last Friday was of a differM nature altogether. The national weath er bureau reported it Thursday off the coast of Savannah, Ga., moving up the coast, and hasty alarms and warnings were given out at Charleston. The disturbance seems to have goue up the coast in a north easterly direction, turn ing eastward .in the Georgetown and Horry section and then turning down to the southwest. The wind on Friday morning early reached a very high ve locity being accompanied with heavy beatingr rains. Tnis continned prac tically all day, and so beating was the rain into cracks and crevices that peo 21e in the best of covered houses had great trouble in keeping dry. Trees were o:own down and split up, and torn up by the roots, and the entire earth was flooded with a rain fall of some 10 to 12 inches in 24 hours. Roads and bridges have been washed up and the roads out of town in nearly all direc tions have been rendered impassible. The road towards Sumter was for a time cut off and the causeway across Black River was being run over with the water. The road leading out of town in an eastwardly direction across Ox swamp was impassible. only by peo ple on foot, and then by wading on the causeway. The large steel bridge across this swamp -vas crushed in by the falling of that loueiy old sentinel cypress tree and people on that side of the county were entirely cut off from town. The chaingang are at work on the Ox swamp bridge trying to get the roadway in temporary passable condi tion. Many hands are at work upon the streets cleaning up the brush and debris. Manning had no train from Charles ton on Friday or Saturday, as the brid ge- at Goose Creek, near Charleston, were washed away. The railroad be tween Lanes and Florence was upset by the washing away of bridges, and on Sunday what few trains that came through from Charleston to Florence were routed around by Manning. Flor ence, Williamsburg, D.arlingtoo, Hor ry, Georgetown, Clarendon -ad Berk ley counties seem to constitut3 the sec tion where the greatest damage was done. But all over the State the dam age was great, and many bridges were washed away. All farming operations hate been comnpletely paralyzed. as the ields are sobbed and boggy from the excessive fall of rain. Streams are full to the top notch, and the Santee and Black Rivers will scarcely reach their highest stages before the middle of this week, when the water from the up-country comes down. There is n> way of estimating the damage in South Carolina or even in Clarendon county. When a house is blown down it can be rebuilt. When a bridge washes w.vay it can be put bick as soon as the water recedes. But the thousands of dollars in damage to the crops of the farmners and poor people who are de nrndent upon this for their bread and their existence cannot be estimated The rel-.rts are not all in from differ ent Darts of the county as to the dam age to roads and bridges, but it is very conservative to say that th~e extra cost to the county pill be several thousand dollars.. Important to School Trustees. School trustee,- were appointed early in July, and the oaths of cainte prompt ly sent out. Some districts qualified at once and commissions have been seat out. In other districts oniy one and two so far have qualified. It is of the greatest imp~ortatnce that the re mainder send in their oath of offic~e, du ly executed, and as fast as the districts are completed commissions will be mailed out. If you have been appointed, and do not care to serve, or will not serve, then retrzn the oath unsigned, and thus give the County Board an oppor tunity to make another appointment. The County Board prefers to await the completion of a district before is suing commissions to any in the dis trict. The reasons for this are evident to one who will read a commission form I shall be pleased for the remainder who have not qualified, to do so at once, so that your district trustees may get their commissions and be ready to perform the duties for the forthcomin2 school year.

"It would be a hard matter to esti mate the good Tanlac bas done me," said W. Day Barrett, 2615 Burrovgbs Street, one of the best known men in Savannah. Mr. Barrett has been a city salesman in the grocery line for sixteen years, and his enthusiasm over Tanlac is no surprise to the many friends who knew of his previous con dition of health and no.v realize what it ha: done for him. "I've been a little bettei than a nerv ous wreck for three years," he contin ued, "and have been treated by no less than fifteen doctors right here in Sa vaonah. I was forced to tura down better paying jobs, traveling. becauw 1 was afraid to get away from home in this condition, and at times I 'was ac tually afraid to go out on the street I was so weak and shakey. "I suffered with headaches and neu ralgia and my stomach was in bad con dition all the time and it seemed like I couldn't get anything that would set me in order or enable me to digest my food. I couldn't eat anything that wouldn't sour on my stomach and give me pain or make me miserable. I was thin and had very little strength. In fact, the least little exertion would ex haust me and I was hardly equal to any thing. I would have pains in my back and joints continually, and would be so nervous and exhausted at night I couldn't sleep at all. I would often have to take stimulants to enable me to keep on going. "One of the doctors who treated me suggested that I try Tani:,c and see what it would do in my case, and be sides that, a close personal friend beg gel in to take it. So T started in on it about a month ago, and I couldn't tell you in a week how glad I am that I got it. for it's the very thing. I haven't taken but two bottles yet, but L've actually gained several pounds in weight and its simply picking me up and getting me over every one of my troubles just as fast as it can. As I said before, there is no estimating the good it has done me. It is a great iedicine beyond all aoubt and I am go ing to keep on taking it, until there is no chance of these troubles coming back on me." Notice.

OFFICER WASTED FEW WORDS Conveyed Injunction Briefly, but Left Hearers With a Small Matter to Ponder Over. Thiough the czar packed 'hi away to the Caucasus and put others in his place at the head of the Russian levies sent to stem the tide of German inva sion, Paris still cherishes its admira tion of the tall, grim Grand Duke ~Nicholas Nichclaievitch, sometime generalissimo of the armies of Mus covy. And It is in Paris that they still tell this story: One evening, when his forces lay near the Polish frontier, the grand duke gave orders that all the persons engaged in purveying supplies to the soldiers should be assembled at nine o'clock alongside the track where the grand ducal train was stabled for the night. "I have a high ly important communication to make to the individuals in question," Nich olas explained. Promptly at the hour named the in vited guests were on hand and stood in line respectfully waiting. They did not wait long. In not above a minute the grand duke stepped out of his car, facing the trades persons, and looked them over for several minutes in si lence. Then he spoke: "Gentlemen, what I have to say to you is very serious for you, and Is comprised in exactly three words. Do not steal-or I'll hang every mother's son of you." With that he turned on his heel and re-entered his car. The audience was at an end. ELEPHANT GIVES FIRE ALARM Baby Pachyderm's Grunts Save Large Menagerie From Flames Only Just In Time. Credit should be forthcoming to Little Nemo. She, "the world's small est elephant," at last has gained a legitimate story. The J. H. Eschman World United Shows winters in a couple of vacant lots at Guinotte avenue and Salisbury street, Kansas City, in the East bot toms. There are ten cars. A spread ing .-rn protects the animals. The barnkeeper and assistants were playing rham in the private car of Mr. Eschmar They heard big grunts from Little Nemo. They rushed out. The interior of the barn was blazing. The elephant had kicked over a gasoline stove in the straw. "Cap" Watkins rushed in. Little Nemo was fast los ing her senses in the smoke. It was dark and the "Cap" groped about, un tied Nemo's halter and shouted, "Come, Nemo!" Nemo came. In the meantime someone had called the fire department.

New Safety Device. A clever device to insure that not more than ten men at once shall ride on the mine cages is in use at the colliery of Jermyn & Company at Rendham. It consists of a turnstile with four spaces, which will revolveI exactly two and a half times in one direction, thus admitting twin men. The turnstile revolves on a screw thread, of which there is just enough to per mit the two and a half revolutions. Then the gate to that shaft is closed, and that to the adjoining shaft opened and ten men are admitted by the turnstile revolving in the opposite di rection to the cage in that shaft. The device stands between the two shafts. It is the invention of Supt. John Cor coran, and has been in use long enough for a thorough test. The only way to load more than ten men on: either cage Is for the extra man to climb over the turnstile or gate, and, of course, the headman will not per mit that. Mrs. Wilson's Lack of Jewelry. One of the things that Washington Is noticing about Mrs. Wilson is the tact that she, the owner of a jewelry business that has been established for a century, wears almost no jewelry herself. One really handsome orna ment seems to be about all she cares for even on state occasions, and most frequently she wears none. People observed, with a grin of rather mali cious delight, that the president went to St. Margaret's with Mrs. Wilson one Sunday. It was the first time, and downed the rumor that he was too god a ?resbyterian to go Inside an Episcopal church.-Washington Let ter to Chicago Tribune. Be Generous in Praise. There are occasions when speech Is golden, rather than silence, and when an encouraging word would be of more value than the richest material gift. Some persons are far too much afraid of the effect of a little generous and well-timed praise. They would keep all their flowers in an icehouse. Let ting a little sunshine upon them at times would not be amiss.-Dr. A. Thomson.

In the American Magazine is an in terview with a member of the United States house of representatives, who tells of the almost impossible barriers between him and his old profession, the law. "After I had been in congress a couple of terms I decided that I would be happier and that my family would be vastly better off if I were back home practicing zmy profession." he said. "So after the adjournment of congress I set out to rebuild my neg lected law business. "I was astonished at what a job it was. My practice was not merely run down or temporarily absent. It was gone! Now, I had not yet become a topnatcher in my profession before going to congress. In order to make a comfortable income I had not been able -to depend alone, on the better rade of legal business, but was still >bliged to do some of the more trivial work such as every young lawyer is' glad to get. This' class of business ad gone from me In my absence, along with the rest. And it did-not ome back, because of a reason that Ihad not thought of. During mny term n congress I had come to be looked pon as an important figure in the ommunity and everybody regarded me as above such things as perform ng legal services of' a trivial or minor haracter. Thus I did not get the small business and the big business was being taken care of by other awyers who had been constantly on he job."

TURN TO STUDY OF FUT-URE Governw(ent of France Considers Plans to Send Young Men to' America for That Purpose. Etienine Clementel, French minister of commerce, has received favorably a suggestion made by Jules Bois that the French government should create a fund for sending young men to America to study the "future" there, as now young men are sent by the government to Rome and to Athens to study "the past." Mf. Bols said to the milister that America could teach France as much concerning or ganizaton and methods of doing with extreme effciency everything con nected with practical life as the me morials of Rome and Athens taught; Frenchmen beautiful things of an cent life. Europe could see In Amer ica the germs of the future, and young Europeans ought to go there for In spection and inspiration. Mf. Clemen tal has considered the idea and will recommend It to the chamber of com merce, which, he thiks, ought more directly to be concerned than the gov ernment. M. Bois says that those Frenchmen who have visited America have obtained there a largeness of view which they did not have before and that he believes one effect of the Iwar will be to cause Europeans, and especially Frenchmen, to visit the United States. Defends the Yorkshire Breed. There is one enthusiast In this city who thinks that the Yorkshire terrier Is destined to become the pet in soci ety and will eventually displace the other small breeds that are so much. In vogue at the present time. This Is 3rs. William C. Thompson, who has the leading kennel of this breed. She is a Yorkshire woman and Is in the game for the love of It and not for the profit that might accrue from the breeding of these dogs.
