HAPPENINGS Of 20 YEARS AGO The frequent rains are doing dam age to the crops. The Bank of Manning has just put in its vault a handsome set of steel cases to hold books and papers. The vault now is absolutely fireproof as there is not a particle of wood about it. Mrs. G. H. Huggins and children re turned home yesterday from a visit to Flowince. The town authorities stopped the erection of a wooden kitchen on the Walker lot. The following are the officers of the Young People's Social Circle for the ensuing quarter: President, J. H. Lesesne; vice-president, Miss Jes sie McLean; secretary, Miss Hattie Harvin; treasurer, F. 0. Richardson. The next meeting is to be a historical one, and besides music, the program is to consist of discussions on Gilmore Sims, Henry Timrod and others and histories of Clarendon County and the town of Manning. The growth of Manning is slow but sure, and yet not so slow, either. Where is there a town in the State that has, to the size of its population made greater progress than this town has in the past twelve months. Look around, and on every hand can be seen an improved condition. Next dooi to the bank is a neat store of recent structure and in front of the MOST PEOPLE in Manning will see "FATTY" in "THE BUTCHER BOY" FRIDAY at PLYLER'S PASTIME Will You?

The Paxville Woman's Christian Temperance Union met at the very hospitable home of Mrs, M. S. Broad way on last Tuesday afternoon. The subject of the meeting was Christian Citizenship, and the interesting read ings given by Miss Emily Broadway and Mrs. Jeff Martin treated on that subject. The reports from the dif ferent departments of work showed enthusiasm, and work on the part of the superintendents. Some thought a public meeting would be helpful, and it was decided to hold one on Sun day evening, July 29th, at the Metho dist church. The president, Mrs. Graham Broadway appointed Mrs. T. W. Gunter, Misses Alice and Emily Broadway to arrange a program for this meeting. The making of some comfort bags for our soldier boys was discussed, and it was decided that the union with the assistance of some friends begin this work at once. After adjournment, a social half hour was enjoyed, when the Misses Broadway served delicious water melon. Jply 10th, 1917. lese Over! ifortable ! Baby Too !

The firing began early in the morn ing, he said, but as the shells com menced to explode over the city, the illusion that it was part of an Inde pendence day program was quickly dispelled. An American collier in port return. ed the fire with such precision and volume that the undersea craft soon submerged. One girl and a man were killed in St. Michaels by German shells. 0 Do not sell all of your tobacco wvith one man--it wvill ruin the market. Competition is the life of trade. See that Cothran gets fully half of the tobacco that comes to Manning. Tidwvell Paroled Again. Columbia, July 17.--.Extension of parole for 90 cdays from July 25 has been granted to George W.

There is a story though strange it may seem Of the great Kaiser Bill and his won derful dream. Being weary of fighting, he lay on his bed And among other things he dreamed he was (lead, And in a fine coffin was lying in state With a crowd of brave Belgiums be maoning his fate. He was not long dead, when he found to his cast, His soul, like his soldiers, would quickly be last. On leaving this earth to meet his true fate, le hastened to Heaven and knocked on the gate. St. Peter looked out and exclaimed loud and clear Try down below Bill, you can't get in here. Now said the Kaiser, I call that un civil, But a welcome I'll get from my old friend the devil. He turned on his heel and away he did go, At the top of his speed to the regions below, But when he arrived he was filled with dismay, For while waiting outside he heard old Nick say: See here, all you imps, I give you fair warning I'm expecting the Kaiser down here any morning, But don't let him in, for to me its quite clear He's after my job, and we don't want him here. If he once should get in there'll be numerous quarrels In fact, I'm afraid he'll corrupt our good morals. All right, my dear friend, the great Kaiser cried, F EVERY FAL ELCO-LIGH T quickly Dand lab)or saved, It is ani economy-nlOi It is almost a necessity on ti Delco-Light is a comnplete electric p mo for generat ing electric current ially designed batteries in which Delco-Lig that a It will ful - lbarn, . churn, chine, Phone otDSM( H.

We don't allow folks here for riches nor .pelf. Here's sulphur and matches, go make h- for yourself. And he fast kicked him out when he vanished in smoke, And just at that moment the Kaiser awoke. He jumped out of bed in a shivering sweat And said, that's a dream I shant soon forget, That I won't go to Heaven I know very well, But it's really too bad to be kicked out of H-. Mr. J. C.
