THE MANNING TIMES Enteted at the Postoice at Manning as Second-Class Matter. Appelt & Shope, Proprietors. Published Every Wednesday Subscription Rates $2.00 per year in Advance MANNING, S. C., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1920 SCHOOL DAYS ARE HERE School days are with us again, and some of us will be looking back over the days df childhood and recounting the precious hours that were frittered away. Young people are seldom able to penetrate the veil of the future and realize the imperative need of an education. But th need is there and is be coing more insistent as time goes on and civilization progresses. In the olden days the educated class were but few in number. Today they are almost universal. Tomorrow--who knows what the requirements will be? There is a training school for every profession, for aniost every trade, and even the tiller of the soil has his colleges 'ind universities fur the dissemination of knowledge necessary to a wider and more diversified field of agricultural activity. Vith our clildren back in the class rooms again. it would be well for us of mature years to enlarge our interest in their welfare. We should extend to the teachers a full measuie of encouragement and support, and thereby add to the zest of their labors. Our duty does not end with starting the child to school in the morning. That is only the beginning. An active and daily interest in its progress will lend encouragement to its ePf'rts and spur it oil to grente-r success. Parenmi commendation is sweet to overy child. Indifference is the father of neglect. -00 - AN EXPENSIV.E NECESSITY The cost of road construction and maintenance is high, we admit-ab sormally high. But that is no valid reason for letting our highways lose them selves in the mud this winter. It cost less to fill up a few holes, or open a I ditch or two, or drag a r'oad now than it will to construct practically a new one later on. Good roads are highly essential to the future prosperity of this comniun ity, and nothing within reason should be allowed to interfere with their proper maintenance. There are two many brains and too much good judgment in this community to permit our highways to sink in to gradual decay. It is not in keeping with our progressiveness in other l'nes. Oo --- -- Now, all together! "Madame President!" Thinking is a wise and safe habit. It often prevents too much talking. - -- -00 We rise to remark that there is but little this week worth remarking about. ----oo A wise man never boasts of the money lie makes. It might reach the ears of his wife. 00 ---_____ Before prohibition it was "wine, women and song." Now it is "wine, wo men and song." That's the difference. 00---- -- "B. P." bids fair to live in history as signifying "Before Prohibition." But a good joke is seldom forgotten. Senator Smith Denounces as False His Opponents's Charges I have just been shown a political advertisement of Nlr. George War ren, which was published in the Charleston American of this date and which has no doubt been sent to the press generally. I denounce as ab solutely false the statement that I amf in any combination inl my race for the senate except with the people of South Carolina to serve them to the best of my ability. -'Mr. -Warren, in a desperate effort to win, is attempting to revive factionalisn inl this state. The effort will be rebuked by our people as unworthy of any one seeking the suffrage of the people of South Carolina at this day and time. What I want and will get is the great majority of the votes of the united people of this state, whatever may have been their former political afilliations. "r. Warren has evidently puirposely distorted the facts. They are as follows: Oni miyi( reurn to mny home in ILynchburg August 9, I received the following letter to wihiich I repjlied as given b~elow: "Columbia, S. C., August 6i, 1920. "lIon. E. I).
