All crops are short now in Clarendon, even to the crop of legislative candi dates. The trestle at Rimini is open again and through service is had over this route. Mr. Fiank Burgess is able to be out again, after a six weeks' seige of rheu matism. Miss Caro Bradham was taken to Columbia to be operated on for append icitis last week. Mr. Austin Sauls, who has been in a hospital in Columbia, was able to come home last Friday. It is leap year, to be sure, but the boys are too bashful and the girls can't pluck up courage. The game law regulating the shoot inig of Deer has been changed. The open season is now from the 1st day of September to January 1st. Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Newton of Char leston are visiting Mrs. Newton's par ents Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Bowman.

The feature of the game was the pitching of Will Burgess. The trestle at St. Stephens is closed to traffic, the water being about seven feet higher than in 1908, and running way over the rails. Patriotism should begin at the cradle and end at the grave. But with some people it begins at the pocket-book and ends at the same place. We learn with regret that the farm of Mr. E B. Tindal in the Fork is a total loss. Mr. Tindal is a large plant er and one of Clarendon's best citizens. We are under great obligations to Hon. J. H. Lesesne for so ably getting up matter for The Times last week wht'e we were marooned in the up country. When it comes to rooting we hand the belt to Quince Mathis, the king of rooters from Summerton. Any way he keeps life in the game, and we enjoy hearing him. Died last week Mr. Jebn Tobias of the Bloomville section. The deceased, It is said, ate a piece of watermelon and then drank a bottle of coca cola. whleh caused his death. On last Wednesday Willie James was shot and seriously wounded at Brog doiis by Elsie Smith. Tbe Smith wo man was lodged in the Sumter jail and James sent to the hospital.

Hlarvin entertained last Friday afternoon for Misses Huff and Susong of Tennessee. Progressive rook was played. Miss Eleanor Todd won first prize, after which an ice course was served. No matter how troubled the waters may be, if you look you can always find a stone upon which to step or a harbot in which safety may be found. Life holds more joys than sorrows for those who elltivate an open mind. A colored ball team from Atlanta, came to Manning last week and the local team on Friday and , winning both games Though temwas beaten, they put ce of ball, and the vis was the strongest teami Rev Guorry Stukt left iiis - ing for Y ie Uni}.ersitx where he :oes to specialize for a year. Mr. Stukes is professor of philosophy in Ag nes Scott college, and has been grant d leav:e of absence for a year. W:eG e.tend our sympathy to Mr. and I-Mrs. Jos. W. Rigby in the death of their Little son, Thomas Finley, which oc ured last Saturday. The little fellow had only been sick a few days, and was about three years oli. The funeral took place in the Manning cemetary Sunday. We want to make a special plea to everybody in Manning to clean up their premises and use plenty of lime and >ther disinfectants as soon as the rain ;tops. If you don't, disease will be all aver our town. If you do not care about yourself, remember you have neigh bors. It may look as painting a blue pic ture, but nevertheless one which is true when we are reminded that there will be much chill and fever this fall all up and down the Santee section of the county as a result of the freshets a id so many low lands being overflow ed with water. Last Saturday afternoon Jessie and zenith Sprott went out exploring, by going to Rimini, crossing the river on top of box cars that were placed on the trestle to keep it from washing away, and walked a distance of thirteen miles to Orangeburg in a pouring down rain. They wanted to see and get experience -they got it. During the freshets in the Santee swamps many deer and other wild n ims.s have been driven out many miles all about in the county. The does of ..r. Graham caught a fine buck out near Bethleriem church a few days ago - 1 devoured it. The fields were so boggy and the woods so full of water that the deer was overcome by hunger and running and fell a victim to the dogs. - Manning and Summerton began a six-game series of ball last Monday. The first game was played here, and undoubtedly it was the most exciting ever witnessed in our town. The rivalry between the two towns is at fever heat, and after agreeing toplay these games, both teams strengthened up, and were evenly matched. The game -went ten innings and was called on account of darkness. Score, 3 to 3. Mr. Innman, of the government aid department, came to Manning last Sun day and after conferring with Post master Bradhain, and getting what information he could, he went in the St. Paul flood stricken district, but after talking with Supervisor Davis, told him he should take the matter with the governo; for immediate relief, as it would take at least a month to get anything from the feceral government. We presume these people will get something from the State. Optimistic people are freely saying that the storm and rain damage to corn and especially old corn, is not great. It is fortunate for Clarendon county that up to the day of the storm the corn prospects in the county were the most promising that have been seen in years, and some little of the corn was almost made. But when gathering time comes it will be found that even old corn is badly cut off, and that many ears which now look to be full good ears are only shucks and are scouty with very little in them. The fodder crop this year will be scant. It is a sotuce of great gratification that the corn and cotton crops in the sections of Summerton, Silver, Panola, Pinewood and Paxville are not as se verely damaged as they are in the east ern part of the county'beginning in the vicinity of Manning. It seems that tie people in the communities above mentioned were just south of the track of the severest part of the storm. We learn -also that the crops in the Bloom vlle and Jordan sections were also speared, much of the destruction that visited the eastern and northern sec tions of the county. A much noted mind reader, clairvoy ant, and speculator in occult matters, by the name of Bert Reese, of New York, has come forward and named the day in September when he says the European war will end, and also pre d'cts the re-eiection of Woodrow Wil son, and savs that Wilson will be fol lowed by Henry Ford, who will be pres ident longer than an y president who has gone before him. It all may be true, 'out the problem we would like to a?ve him figure on is. how many mos qutos will be hatched in the next six ty days in the Santee swamp from Remini to the Williamsburg line. We a'e willing to send him a .year' s sub. sc iption to The Times if he comes within a margin of one hundred thous and either over or under. The tobacco crop, it is generally con ceded, have suffered most from the storm and floods of rain, and the dam age or loss is estimated all the way from 50 to 80 or 90 per cent, and in a few places the loss being total. The cotton crops in the scope of county around Summerton and on through Panola, Silver and Pinewood, were nol damaged as severely by the winds and storm as were those in the Eastern part of the county. But the strictly storm damage is not all that the cotton rops will suffer. The heavy rains which have continaed to fall since the storm keeps the fields sobbed with water, and it is the nature of the cotton p~ant that it cannot stand much water, as the stalks will wilt and die, and the fruit will shed off. The damage to cotton has been contnuous since the storm on the 4th, and is continuing yet The real and practical damage to cotton will not be fully realized until time comes to pick the cotton. club Secretaries Attention.

The heaviest rains occur in ecqua tral regions, and the smallest quanti ties fall in the desert districts of Asia ner A frisc The Editorg Trip in The Up-Cuntry. Columba. S. C., July %1, 1916 As i am marooned in Columbia and the out-look is not at all bright about getting home, I will try and give my readers an accoant of the storm in the up-country and the barranging exper iences of the writer, which we hope to never undergo again. On Wednesday the 12th, 1 left Man ning early and drove through to Jones ville, TTnion county, to spend a few days " my family who was visiting at of Mr. Dan Hydrick. The wv ideal going and the scen er zi 1. 'eing first on a high hill an .n in a valley. The crops we. * ne.r as good as those in Clar e but the farmers claimed they would make good, as their sea- ons are later, though we are afraid to see our fields now, for from the meagre re ports we have seen in the papers from all over the Pee Dee, we feel sure our fine crops are all but ruined. I have not seen a line in any paper from Man ning (The best town in the world) though I hope every thing is alright down there, and that I rill get back some day, and when I do, will not want to see a railroad for a long time again. After getting to Jonesville and resting up a couple of days, offered Mr. and Mrs. Hydrick and Mrs. Appelt and kid dies a trip to Saluda for a day. At six o'clock Friday morning the sun shin ing beautifully our party got in "John Henry Ford" and proceeded to "do' the mountains and other scenery along the way. We went to Spartanburg, and of course. the ladies seeing great things in city show windows had to stop and shop a little, (or may be they just looked.) However after about forty minutes delay we traveled some more and here is where you go through some of the prettiest country imagined. After going through several towns we came to Tryon, which is situated at the foot of the Saluda mountains, and from th-ere on you can see the great mounds of earth, rock and trees hundreds of feet high. The road through the mountain was good, though very nar row, and for about six miles we were twining around the mountain, and on one side, the rock stood hundreds of feet above us, while on the other side we would be at least two hundred feet above the river with only a few feet margin, and while all this beautiful, to look down almost directly under the car v heels and see this great fathom, made a fellow a little nervous. Well, we got to Saluda and after spending a few-hours with Mrs. Harvin and Miss Loulie, who are conducting a boarding house there, we bade them good bye, expecting to get back to Jonesville be fore night, but just as we left the rain started to fall and when we reachd the mountain' the road was gettica slippery, and all precaution had to be used to keep from going overboard, when we got out, the whole party gave a sigh of relief. The rain continued tc fall and when within about ten miles of Spartanburg the wind started to blow, and when we got in the city there was a strong gale blowing, and darkness closing in on us, we saw we were uf against a proposition. but not knowing we were in the grip of a terrible storm, we continred our journey. The road from Spartanburg to Jonesville is all clay and in lots of places the car cut down to the axles, but luck was with us and Henry pulled as he never pulled before. In fact, this trip was made practically in low-gear, a distance o1 twenty three miles, and we reachec home about elevon o'clock, all wet, as the wind drove the rain right through the curtains, but after a good rubbing dawn, we went to sleep, and nex1 morning al felt good, the kids not even taking cold. The wind howled all night and the rain fell in torrents, this kept up for thirty three hours, abating Saturday afternoon late. I was to come home Sunday. but seeing the water was toe high and the roads so sloppy, abandoc ed my car and took the train, and have not reached my destination yet. Frang all accounts I am as badly water-bounc as ever. The only out-let I can get if to go to Lugoff on train and paddle across the Wateree riven in a canoe. I like paddling in Home Lake, but nol in a ragging river of two miles wviti waves knocking the boat all around However, with not being able to g< out on a train until next week, I wil take my charces tomorrow of boating or swimming the Wateree. On Sunday when I boarded the trait at Jonesville, was told that the trestle a Broad River was intact. so left or schedule time, but when we reachet Carlisle, which is about six miles fron the river, the conductor had orders t< hola up, the trestle was giving away and some of the roadbed was washe< up. We stayed there until 3 o'clocl (out in the sticks) with nothing to eat save some lemon snaps and coca colt bought from a negro shop. We weri then sent hack to Spartanburg, a dis ance of forty miles, and were to be de toured around by Charlotte, that bein, the only outlet, but before the trai could be mrde up, a wire came tha the bridge over the Catawba river ha< gone too. ta.-ting twenty people dowl the surging strenn and to their deatb In the Spartanb'urg yard there wer thirty or forty trains, standing as help less as a baby. for every road was the blocked and all they could do was t stand and pop off steam. I went bac to Joncsville, but owing to my famil; being four miles out in the country and a vehicle to hire an impossibilityv had to sleep on a crosstie, but got bac] out to Dan's Monday for dinner. Stay ing out there until Wednesday, mad another attempt to get home, and at still attempting. I went back to Spat tanburg, then to Greenville and bacl to Newberry on the Southern. Ther we took the C. N and L. to Columbia making this trip in twenty hours (whel we should have run it in four). I hay had some experiences, but this tri caps anything I have ever been u againa.~Of course, there are hundred of peopce marooned up here, so I hay Comning down a man told me he wa caught. in Hendcrsonville and walke twenty miles to catch a train. At tresti above Tyron he walked acros with nothing b~it the rails on it, all c the piling had been washed away. On man p~aid seventy-five dollars for a automobile to take his party six miles Conditions in some places in Nort Carolina are alarming and the peopl facing famine. To show how fast th water rose. the water the morning afre the rain started was twelve feet dee in .\r. Hydrick's cornfield, making hi crop a total loss. This water cam within about three hundred yards of hi home. and if itihad gotten much highe I would have hunted a tree. I was told by people all along th road that the water was higher tha~n ad ever been, not excepting the Pact let flood in 1903. The tine highway through the mour Itan which cost $Th500 is a tots wreck, and it may be years before it Irebuilt. If we had been a few bour later we could not have come back,c would have been caught in there, this road was wrecked that night. I fact, one place had broken in befor we passed and just had room enough get by. *Since the above was written I hav gotten homne. On Saturday morninj as I said 1 would, I left Columbia o the Seaboard, and went down as farf the Wateree river, but just a few miu utes before our arrival three men fe from the trestle and were drowned, a ter this accident the railroad author ties would not let us go on the trestlb so we had to walk about three mile through the swamp and take a cano below tbe county bridge. We wade -water, mud and rock but at last .reac ed a place where we could get in th boat, and paddled across the rives which was dangerous but we happene to no accident. A fter reaching th other side we were then two miles froi Cmnen son we walked to this cit Now Well "Thedford's Black-Draught is the best all-round medicine lever used," writes J.A.

In some of the low places we saw where water had reached the eaves of houses. Taking the trip as a whole my experience was anything but enjoyable. Aftermath of The Storm. It was a sight worth seeing to go down to the St. Paul section and look at the red water which backed out into the low lands four or five miles from the river swamp and covered thous ands of acres of crops and woodlands in sight of the Levi store. The writer paid a trip through that section to look at the sights and to get a line on the situation as much as possible concern ing the crops. From the Levi store at St. Paul could be seen a vast body of water, like a large lake, covering fields and woods, with boats plying on it, and houses surrounded with water, some inhabitants having moved out, while others remained at home with water up to the steps. Mr. Joe King was surrounded. but remained at home while his friends would go to see him in boats. It is out of the question to attempt to describe the many places which were covered with water be tween St. Paul and the river swamp, as hundreds of acres of crops were cov ered with water for days, and the dam age will go into the many thousands. At St. Paul and flemini people were coming from far and near, in cars, bug gies, and by wagon loads to see the great sight. It looked as if they were going to a great camp meeting. At Remini, the waters were turbu lent .and raging. and at this little place many visitors from far and near would congregate every day to see the sights. One could walk for perhaps a half mile into the swamp on the rail road track, on the edge of the enbank ment, before he reached the place where the tracks were covered. with the raging waters down on both sides of him. The distance from the Claren don hill across to the Orangeburg hill is; scm five miles. and through the right of way across the swamp to the Orangeburg hill there was a beau tiful pamorama presented, like the harbor in Charleston or some other arm of the sea, as the winds made the water, serge into waves and sparkle in the sunshine. Several hundred loadad cars had been placeo along practically the entire distance where the track was covered, and at some of the places we learned that the waters rose over the track's high enough to run through tha box cars, and that boats were pad dled through the box cars standing on the tracks. Telegraph poles and wires in the swamp were completely covered, and engines with steam up all theitime were kept hitched to the cars to pull as many of them out as possible and save them in case the trestle began to give way. It was only by herculean and vigi lant efforts on the part of the railroad pcople that this trestle was saved. Magistrate's Report. M. D. Baird-Turbevlle. April nothing to report.

After much suffering, when relief is experienced, there is no wonder that one experience happiness and joy. It is in the won derful story told by J. C. Cain, one of the sturdy farmers of Westminister. near the dividing lines of the States of South Carolina and Georgia. that we are given a beautiful example of this return of joy when health is again made better. Mr. Cain wrote recently to the State agent for Tanlac at Columbia a volun tary testimonial of Tanlac. His ex periences are best told in the following letter, which he wrote: "I feel under obligations tie send you a correct testimonial for Tanlac. "I have been sick for the past five years. I stayed bilious and sick at my stomach all the time. Nothing I ate agreed with me and nothing I took did me any good. The doctors here announced that I had gall stones and gravel stores. My kidneys gave me severe pain all the time. "Before I began to take Tunlac it was a drag for me to get out every morning to feed v stock. Now I can get up and call t wife to get break last, and by the time I get into the yard I catch myself a whistling and a singing the sweet songs I used to sing. My mules recognize my voice and be gin to bray and to knicker, knowing that I am coming to give them their food. "Before I began taking Tanlac my wife would ask me if I wanted to go with her to preaching on Sunday morning. I would tell her, "No." I didn't feel like going. Now I get up every Sunday morning and ask my wife if she wants to go with me to preaching. "Before 1 began to take Tanlac it was a drag for me to go to, the field, and sometimes I had to tell the boys and show the other hands what to do. Now I can getup every morning and eat a hearty breakfast and drink my coffee, too, and it doesn't hurt me, and I can go to the field and do as much work as any hand I have got." It is just such statements from citi zens bf various , alks of life like Mr. Cain, who hold the highest esteem of the community in which hey live, that have prompted others to buy the great preparation, and. therefore the makers of Tanlac are indebted to these persons for their test nony. After sending the above testimony, Mr. Cain sent additional testimony and says among others things: "I can cut wheat all day long now, something I have not done in five years."

One read6 some so very silly articles upon the *ubject of recurrence of .dreams that It is necessary to repeat that our dreams are nothing more than a costiLuation of the state previ ous td slE p when we lie with no bodily or mental occupation beyond following rut whatever train of thought happ'ens to have been suggest ed, a writer :u the London Observer remarks. Two common dream experi ences frequenity recurring are those of the sensation of flying and of the uneasy impressiof of beg about in public in insuficient attire. The first is caused by the physical fact that we Iare, at the moment without noticeable pressure actually faspenoed in apace; the second by the equally physical fact that few people in these days go to bed in their boots. ?t is beyond ques tion that dreams are started or sug gested, not only by theca personal hints, but by externa; evesnts, us'ually a noise.

The fact that the form 'f clubs-has changed with the centuri' does not involve a change in the game itself. Golf is still the game that vas played n 1.503, when we read in the Royal Accounts of England that the-sum of two pounds two shillings ias paid "for the king to play at the golf with the Earl of Bothwell." The ball? were of leather, stuffed with feathert but it was, golf, Just as It was the Same game *hen some of us played KMth gutta balls, before the days of rubbe cored balls and balls filed with high explosives. For this reason the "Golf Book of Hours" Is probabir one of the most interesting pieces of golf liter Ature in existence. Apart from the beauty of its execution and ts value as a work of art, It has a pec'dilar In .erett to the student of the game who.k shaky legs, with a three-foot putt "tor the hole and match" hiave' ften led him to wish b~e might 1neel and send the ball rolling to a sure ;lc tory. dow To Glive Quinine To Chbldren. ?EBRII~NEIsthetrademark ae giento an improvedQum .
