With this edition of The Manning Times we go be fore the people with a brand new outfit, one that is sec ond to none in the State, with the exception of some of the daily papers in the large cities. The installation of this plant means that we are now in a position to do the finest. kind of work and do it quickly. Mr. F. M. Shope, who is an expert printer and newspaper man will be general manager and under him he will have three good printers. Everything will be done by power. In making these changes we have decided to cut down the number of columns to six, thus giving our ad vertisers better positions. This plant has cost us sev eral thousand dollars, as we bough the best, but if hard work, perseverance and honest methods count for any thing we are satisfied of the future. The Times has been among you for thirty-five years, and we expect to stay. We are always glad for our friends. to come in to see us, and we extend to you our invitation to inspect our new paI You have stuck to us through adverse times and prosperity, we in turn have always tried to reciprocate in like manner, and to show our appreciations for what you have done for us we have put in this expensive plant, so as to serve you in a more efficient way. THE FAIR. The Clarendon County Fair which opens in Manning next Wednesday the 15th and runs for three days is a matter which should merit the interest and atendance of everybody throughout the County. The fair held last year was the first one of its kind ever held ih the County, and its sucess as a beginning is a guarante that the one to be held this year will be large and better than the first one. *The fact that a man of the character and energy and public spiritedness of Mr. W. T. P. Sprott, who is really the father of the County Fair is the president of the fair association and is still devoting his energies to the success of the fair is a guarantee that the County Fair this year wyill be a credit to Clarendon County. An examination of the premium list will show that there are many good and public spirited men and women work ing to make the fair a success this year, and we com mend it to the people throughout the County that they come and see the exhibition. The fair is not a county seat affair-by any means but it is a county -wide proposition and belongs to the peo ple of the entire County. The fair was not gotten up for the purpose of making money for anybody, but for the purpose of bringing the people of Clarendon together n closer touch with each other socially and commercially, and that everybody might learn something from what other people are doing. If you are farming you can learn something by coming and seeing what your fellow farm ers of the County are doing. If you are raising cattle or hogs or poultry, you can get some good points by see ing what your neighbors are doing along the same hnes. Clarendon County is not prosperous this year. We are very much depressed in business matters. We are making only one-third of a cotton crop and scarcely fifty per cent of a corn crop. The next year will be hard. So much the more, then, do we need the benefit of rai the practical ideas we can get in matters of agriculture, economy and general progress. We need a general com munity interest, and a closer touch with :al4 the rest of t: ' ople of our County. All the elections of the year h. been held. There will be no more politicS 'and noth ing to divide the people for the next twelve -months or more. Then let everybody eome together for the sake of mutual benefit and progress and good feeling and har mony and improved methods for the betterment of our individual interests and our common County. There will be at the fair many creditable exhibits in all kinds of produce and -horses and cattle and hogs and poultry and .preserved goods and canned goods and fancy work and curious and other things which will interest everybody. -The fair will show to our citizens that Char endon ie"one of the best counties in the State and that heretofore we have bee~n sleeping on our opportunities. The fair will bring the people together in common inter est and sympathy. It will show them what can be done in the County and make every min and woman and child in the County more proud and loyal to our County than| we ever were before.

A dollar and a half for a fire screen will perhaps save the baby's life. A mother told me the other day about her baby being left alone just a minute or two. A coal rolled down from the fireplace, and as a re sult, a burned child. - Give baby her bath every day, just the same as in summer. She will like it just as well if you have a stove by which to bathe her. A fireplace does not give the same dry warmth that a stove does. Do not let baby sleep with mother and father. She will not get cold if you put plenty of warm bed clothes underneath as well as above. 'Do not use 'quilts on he'r bed but use sheets, all wool blankets and coverlets stuffed with 'either soft feathers or washed and teased wool. These give the largest amount of warmth with the least amount to weight. - , Far) Now is th4 mas Gifts. you need in While -in will be glad sortment of Threads, St Centerpiece ceived, Few Spe 10e Silk Crochet Threa Pin Cushion Forms -- Tatting Shuttles, new] Initial Books-390 Lette Toilet Chamnois --- -.

Columbia, Nov. 9.-"No, I will not be a-candidate for the United States Senate two years hence," said Gover nor Manning in an interview today. It is known that a large number of the governor's friends from various parts of the State have been urging him to become a candidate for Sena tor Tillman's seat in the Senate, and it was understood by a great many people that the governor would run. When asked about the matter, Gover nor Manning said "No, I will not a time to make You will' find this line at ou Manning Fat to show you t YAL SOCIE amped Garme s, Towels, Ei cis for Fa d fast colors.-- ----- -. dn-- -.--- ---- ---- -- S---- ---- ---- ----- LCE SPECIA] orchon Lace is hard to find. ed that we will selFair We in Clarendon County to ma your comfort we have a rea t door to The Peoples Bank 10 - 25c.
