. THE MANNING TIMES Entered at the Postofmce 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 18, 1922 No news may be good news at times, bit not when the exp'ected check fails, to arrive. A good architect seldom draws a poor house. But not so with an actor. o - Most of it is mtde in a dark cellar, though calling it moonshine may cause some people to think it tastes better. 0 Of course, it is possible that some women always weep at a wedding because it reminds them of the days when they made the 'same mistake. 0 A noted Russian singer 'says that the less a woman wears the longer she will live. In that event it is only a question of time when'half of the undertakers will go out of business. 0 Every time we try to lay up something for a rainy day a premature rain comes along and washes it all away. This business of continually starting all over again pos sesses meris, though. It prevents us good men from con tracting those vicious habits of the idle rich. 0 Hang onto life another five or six years. You may have your curiosity satisfied as to the kind of people who exist on the. planet Mars. A body of astronomers will use an abandoned mine in South America for the purpose of constructing a powerful telescope 1,300 feet in length. This telescope will reach from the bottom of the shaft to the surface of the ground, and its magnifying power is expected to be sufficient to bring Mars within a mile and a half of the earth.- We may even be able to settle the mooted question as to tlhe length of the skirts Martian wo men wear. Don't die yet. - -- SCHOOL OF AMERICANISM We l.ve our schools for the education of the young, and our trade and other institutions for the advancement of adults. Every conceivable need in this respect seems to have been provided for-except one. We need schools of Americanism-"institutions where the immigrant may be taught in his own language the value and (luties of American citizenship before he is turn ed loose to roam the country at will. .If institutions of this kind could be established in our seaport cities and every immigrant be required to take a prescribed course we be lieve much of the unrest of this country would be eliminat ed in future generations. At any rate it is worth a trial. 0 "ANOTHER STRIKE" Those are the most dreaded of all words to the aver age . merican, and they are heard entirely too often for comfort. Where is this eternal struggle between labor and capital to end. anyway? To what lengths will each side0 eventaHyl go in order to force the other. toasubjec tion '? Ace we to go on forever living in constant dread of coammercijal paraly'sis simply because a small peri cent of the p~opulation insists upon fighting each other, to the utter diemoralization of all of the rest of the people of this g.reat (ounltry? Are we to remain satisfied with a congress that has lIhe pow(r to provIide laws thatewill forever enid all strikes withom t nijuistice to either sidle, andl yet refuses to take such ac'tion? A ce we to be hampered forever with a gov' ecrnment. that has the right to demand, and yet is satisfied to b5.g and~ pleadl ini its [utile efforlts to p~revent these per'io (lical Irupt ions? I ahlor' and cai)ital m' Ie not the on ly onies to be c'onsid ered~ inI these never ending dlisturb~ances. The great mass of the people have t hei r rights--but they are seldom r'e sp~ect;(l. WIe dloubt i f they are eer taken into 'onsider'a tion bc either sidV. U~n(uestionably labor is entitled to a fair and just5I compiensation in pr'oportioni to the expense of liin. Th )aorin~g man should not be made the goat by (ai:0r men) who seek to ~onlvert[ their millions inito bil 0onI ii)\(O invetet, and~ it should Dnt be wrecked by labor 01' any oth'r agency. Capi tal is dep enlenmt upon labor and labor is dteendenlt upon capital, and the great body of: the peop~le are at the mTer'cy of both. A nation emerging from the wreckage of a great war amnd still seeking to recover from a long period of businehss deprIession is in no condition to (vit hstand a widespread suspension of business activity through a qu~arrel between 1lbor and1W capital, whether it b~e railr1oads5, mines or otner b)ranrch of industry. If the government hasn't the power to force each sidle to a controversy to adIopt a reasonable and just attitudle t owardJ each other, then it should be given that powerC by congress, and it should be employed without fear or fav or. Thel(re is only oine place for the official of a c'orp~ora t ion who conspires to profiteer at the expense of his em ployees. That phiace is iniside of a jail. There is only one p)unishment suitable for the labor c'zar who lashes his fol lowers into acts that are uujust'and detrimental to them selves as well as to the rest of the p~eople. Dump him into the same cell with the corporation official and let them set tie their dlifferences through personal combat. TJhe p)ub lic is tired of wearingo the whiskers. SENATE CPNFPtlIySt1i' .SIX.

Atlantti, tGeorgia Special cotton farmer' got- his 'bumps' again in 1921 between boll weeyli, un favorable seasqps; food apd gralii buy iug'dn credit, combjued with a 'price on cotton insufficient to 'day hii out, 0atfe' old story, th&'pape ttiig tha has happened thre' or four times i the- last dozen years'," 'said H. G Hpisttigs, President of the Georgia Ass'o4ation, 'an organization for 'state wide ;develoti'ment. We , might Just 'as well face the fact'. that 'with ''the world wide finan cial' and political mix-up in - Europa following the world wiir, there is ni possible chance for using norma quantities of cotton, at profitable price to us if we continue to grow 'cottoi on the high cost basis that we have been doing. "Cotton is t)e one best money 'crol for the South, and probably always will be. The time of star prices li over and the problem from now ons is to lo*wer cost of production and at the same time-afford the cotton grower a fair profit. "Cost of making cotton is pi smarm, the cost of food, grain and forag for the farmer, his family, his igbor ers or tenants, and his work stock Cutting food, grain and forage cost by home production will reduce -cot ton costs from ono-third to one-half 1 "Plant for.an abundance of food grain adid forage, thus. cutting dowi store bills, anil the lower prices fo: cotton will not hurt so much. We can not, with European countries so- tior oughly disorganized, reasonably expec high prices for cotton for several year and we must make cottorn at lowe cost, or else quit cotton growing. "Most of us cannot quit cotton hence the absolute necessity of food grain and forage planting in 1922 the making on home acres of ever pound of food and grain needed to se us through. "In this food production program take the homo vegotable garden seri ounly. Give the home garden a sitV deal, and it w'll surpriae you ,in thi amount of healthful food produced. I takes the least ground, can h,9 piant od the earliost, brings quick return, and if kept replanted and worked wil stay by you all the season through.

SHIP FIRST CAR OF SWEET I'OTATOES Marion, Jan. 17.,-The first, car of sweet potatoes over to be, shipped from the town of Marion rolled out Saturday afternoon on the Raleigh and Charleston tracks, bountl for Washington, D. Ci, and consigned to the Sanitary Groceries, of that city, and contained 560 .crates of Nb. 1 Porto Rico yams from the curing and storage house of the Marion County Potato Growers' Association. The potatoes were marketed through the 'South Carolina Sweet Potato Associatio'n and brought a price of 'a $1.00 per crate delivered in Washington. This should net the growers between $1.25 and $1.50 per bushel. Mr: Lewis, government marketing expert, was here to su pervise the grading and loading of the potatoes and introduce(d (.he latest and most efficient methods in every)pa rticular. The Marion County Potato Grow ers' Association was organized by the Chamber of Commerce last year and is being fostered and encour aged - by that organization. . The house promises to be real asset to the communit' and will probably be doubled in size before potatoes are harvested again. \ WOULD ABOLISH SENATE Calgary,' Alberta, ' Jan. 17-.--More than 200 resolutions were submitted for, cons'ideration at the opening ses sion of the United .Farmers' Coraven tion today.
