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, JANUARY 4, 1922 TWO KINDS OF PEACE Practically every one is talking or thinking of the fu ture peace of the world. That seems to be the dominant subject upon which the human mind dwells. But there is another peace that is just as important and far easier to maintain. That is the peace of the home community and of the home itself. If all peoples would begin by earnestly endeavoring to inaugurate a reign of peace and harmony in the local communities the human heart would soon dis card the feeling of greed and antagonism and discord that creates strife among the nations of the earth. That would be real peace, the peace that glorifies and enliughtens the human race. Today we are blazing the path that leads us through the doubts and uncertainties of another year. Let us join hands in the beginning, that all in this community may travel in peace, harmony and safety to the end. - 0 A REIGN OF DANDITRY Before exhausting all of its energies in attempting to restore normal conditions and a prospect of peace throughout the world it would be well for the government to devote a little time and effort toward suppressing the reign of banditry that is sweeping over our own land. In the halcyon days of the "wild and wooly west," whe.i bad men thrived and the six-gun ruled, respectable citizens found it necessary to band themselves together as vigilance committees in order to suppress lawlessness when the courts and the sheriffs and the marshals failed. They took the law into their own hands, decorated con venient trees with the worst of the desperadoes, and serv ed notice on others that their health would be best con served by a hasty departure. The vigilante methods were rather crude, but highly effective, and met with the popular approval of respecta bility and decency. Of course we would hardly recom mend a similar course to the law abiding ct'zens of our large centers of population where crime flourishes and is on the increase, but surely some effective action will soon become necessary if we are to prevent this country from falling into the hands of an element that has no regard for anything but their own will. It rather peeves a coun try editor to pick up a city paper day after day and find it Tilled with mail and bank robberies, murders, holdups, ab ductions, beatings, thuggery, and similar methods of pass- I ing away the time. With such vast populations to draw upon there ought to he at least an occasional departure from the regular routme of news. 0 Prominent financiers assures us that 1922 will witness a revival of business booms throughout the country. That' is good, very good, and fills us with glee. Let's celebrate! Now, gents, all together-wait until it comes! f atnother war doesn't soon brteak out somewhere, or the W:whiwdoTn conference doesn't blow up from spontan ous~ tnmhustion, or the mayor of some wicked city doesn't get re'ligion, we may have to fall back upon the good old :'ustom of pulling off dog fights in order to vary our form of excitement. Just now it is a dull life-between mur-; derUs and1 holdups. |N(1 ||NAWAR[8 white wooly head held high in pide, distinguishedi services, had his mtis ByR Mr's. samuiel J1.

Uncle Fr'ank with his would ibe two vacant nlaces at the ttble, as' covers wore :laid er a tain number, he ra tojnbe44 hearing that ghosts were supposed to occupy vacant chairs at a banquet, and being very superstitious, ie scratched his his wooly head In pdrplexity. Suddenly his -grotosquo;features lit up as an inspiration came to him. "Ghosses don't sit to the table, long as dis nigger rules the 'roost" he niut tered, ad he left the house, for early that morning he saw two hunters ride through the plantation en route tp the swamp nearby and now withgut asking permission from either Master or Mistress he ran off and invited these men to dinner: Greatly surpris ed were the hunters, but thinking that the invitation came from the Master of the place, they readily ac cepted it and a few minutes .later, just as the guests' had taken their places at the table, the dining room door was thrown wide open- and Uncic Frank in a loud voice shouted, "walk in gentlemen and be seated." His master although displeased by the in terruption, arose and shook hands with the men with whom he had a slight acquaintance, and then present ed them to his aristocratic guests, but the lady of the house was indignant, and as she glanced at those muddy boots on her Brussels Carpet, would have reproved Uncle Frank severely, had not Aunt Easter who stood be hind her chair whispered: "Hush, some have entertained angels un awares." These two men ignoring the social gulf that divided them from the other guests, laughed and tolk jokes on each other, and although their "common garb" was sadly out of place amid the broadcloth and satin around that table, their presence really added pleasure to the feast. In the avange glow of a winter twilight the last of the guests depart ed, then the host, called for his saddle horse 'Pete', and he too rode away. Out into the byways and hedges he rode, among those less fortunate than himself, and many a pale face bright ened, and faint heart took courage, when old Pete and his rider drew rein at the gate. Through the length and breadth of the South the pendulum swung. Men from the humble walks of life, by hard work and thrift grew prosperous and independent, but the erstwhile owner - f thousands of acres of. land, and, hundreds of slaves to tend them, faced financial ruin. Among the latter was the host of that Christmas banquet. In the sixties he had staked his all on the South's chances-and lost. Fin ancial difficulties arose so thick and fast, that hundreds of acres of land, silverware, carriages and horses n ust be sacrificed to stay the final crash, even the saddle horse shared the fate of the others. The dark winter (lay had brighten ed towards its close and the western sky was aflame, as earth offered up her evening sacrifice. Restlessly the Master walked the length of the long piazza, weary and discouraged, when .i lone horseman rode up to the door mnd handed him a note from one of the men who had dined on Uncle lrank's invitation, offering the loan > a large amount of money, to use In this emergency, and a postscript dded that the other man had bought .he sadkle horse for him and would moon send him back, and thus "Old .ete" came home, and remained with he family for many years, the last ink in the chain of the golden past lie last reminder of "The Lost "ause."
