THE MANNING TIMES Entered at the Postoffice at Manning as Second-Class Matter. Appelt & Shope, Proprietors. Published Every Wednesday . Subscription Rates $2.00 per year in Advance MANNING, S. C., WEDNESDAY,sOCTOBER 6, 1920 ON WITH THE FIGHT Press dispatches tell us that for months a bitter fight has been waget by the retailer and the consumer against the manufacturer and the wholesaler. 'the bone of contention is the lowering Bf prices. The consumer is tired of paying profiteering prices for everything he buys. He is calling a halt by curtailing his expenditures. The retailer realizes this and feels the loss of trade through the determination of the consumer to buy only absolute neces sities until such time as prices return to normal. I The retailer is as desirous of a reduction in priees as is the consumer, and is fighting the manufacturer and the wholesaler to this end.. The lat ter, however, appears to be loath to surrender his excessive profits, and is holding out to the end. That end, when it comes, may possibly be a federal grand jury indictment for profiteering. The government, the retailer and the consumer, when working together, are decidedly more powerful than the manufacturer and the middleman. Stubbornness and greed may succeed for a time, but it gets a jolt in the end. Pric'es, we are told, are coming down every (lay. Probably go up again during the night. Our latest operatic stars are a twinkling success. You can't tell whether they are singing or having a fit of hysterics. Mortorists are playii. , in hard luck. They are forced to pay exorbitant prices for gas, and get no rebate for the stink. . -----0 -oc No matter hodf the election goes in November, there will still be a hund red million people left who are willing to work or be worked. We'll get along. --00 You've got to hand it to some of our political spellbinders in at least one respect. They can make other people believe a line of bunk they wouldn't e !ven dream of believing themselves. ---- ---00 Washington dispatches tell us that the coal situation is becoming serious. Our own common sense tells us that the lack of coal is becoming niore serious --*t will soon be a freezing calamity. With the advent of suffrage the henpecked husband should breathe a profound sigh of relief. Women will be too busy settling the intricate prob tems of state to waste time on the minor affairs of life. - - -- -0 - - Paris, they tell us, is full of American men and women who are blowing money to the winds in a wild orgy of fashionable debauchery. If they would only blow themselves along with their money the rest of us would feel cleaner and less contaminated by their absence. - -----00 There's a very charming lady in this community who once, when slightly peeved, declared that there is never anything in this sheet worth reading. Some of these days we are going to run a nice, genteel, complimentary notico about herself. And then--but it's woman's perogative to change her mind without notice. Ladies, you can now The Young Reliable vote at the polls and of course you'll vote your approval on these of ferings. N RIO ,a Quality Tells-Price Sells # 36 in.
