Drakeford of Sil ver, for violation of the prohibition laws, was decided last week in the Supreme Court, and the circuit court was sustained. Mr. Drakeford was convicted last fall and sentenced to rerve six months on the chain gang, he appealed to the Supreme court and lost his appeal. This means that he will have to serve his time. Clarendon's vehicle tax law was decided last week in the Sul ne court to be constitutional. The .w was repealed this year, but since the Supreme court's decision declared it constitutional before it was repealed, those not paying the tax last year are due tq pay it now. A good many paid, and was promised by Supervisor McFaddin that if the law was not constitutional he would refund their money. Now, to be fair to the ones that paid the tax, it is up to the Supervisor to collect from those that did not pay. The tobacco situation is in quite a muddle in Manning. On last Satur day Mr. R. D. Clark closed his ware house out to the Co-operative Mar keting Association, which left Mann ing without a warehouse as the other three had already been sold or leased. Upon learning of the situation, a citizens meeting was called yesterday to devise some way of handling the unsigned tobacco this year. A com mittee was appointed to confer with Mr. C. R. Sprott, who has leased the old Harris warehouse, and if failing there to go to the Association and try and get one of their buildings. This committee will report back to the citizens on tomorrowv afternooa at six o'clock. Now, here is the situa tion as we see it. There is, we arc told about fifty per cent of the Clar' endon tobacco unsigned, and the busi ness people figure that it will be very unwise to let this tobacco go to some other market. Times are hard and the town needs every dollar it can get, but by having no warehouse here, Mannmng wvill lose probably a quarter million dollars. Sumter will have two independent houses, Greelyville, Olanta and Lake City will run, which. means our tobacco wvill go to one of these places. We believe every bnsi niess man in Manning is in sympathy with the asociat ion, at the same time, they wvant to see one indlependent house in Manning this year in ordler to keep our money at home.

As you all know I have advocated open ware houses, for this year. I have stated that I thought this would be the best method of selling - tobacco, and especially for the average man this year. I have recently changed my mind, and have cast my lot with the Co-operative side of the question. It is a known fact to the people of this County and counties contiguous to this market that R. D. Cothran and I were to have operated an indepen dent house jointly, but as stated above, I have changed my mind in this par ticular and have decided after care fulful consideration of this vital ques tion that the Co-operative side has the most merit, hence my decision. Now I know in justice to R. D. Coth ran that I must exonorate him from all blame in my actions in .this mat ter. Mr. Cothran held out firm to the last that we should carry out our contract with the independents, there fore he is not to blame in the least in this matter. 'Yours very respectfully, R. D. Clark. Editor Manning Times, My Dear Sir: Please give me space in your paper to explain briefly my position as re gards the open market for the sale of leaf tobacco. It will be seen in an other place in this paper that Mr. R. D. Clark and I have dissolved co partnership. Now, gentlemen, I still stand right where I have been all the time about, this proposiJon. I am not going to join this association this year. I have gone up and down this county and told the growers my position in this mat ter I have written my views which has been published in this and other pap ers. I have done this fearlessly and open and above board. 1 have only exercised my God-given prerogatives. I know that' my views are the views I of thousands of bony-handed sons of toil in Eastern South Carolina. I am not going to abuse the so-called Co-| operative movement or those that are trying to foster and put it across, but I want to put them on their guard that we have rights in this tree land' of ours, and that we have the courage I of conviction to assert those rights. I may not have the chance to carry out my promise here in Manning that I have made to the Independent to bacco grower, but if I do not succeed in getting a warehouse I will locate elsewhere, and then notify all the In dependent growers. I will fight as hard for you wherever I locate as if I were in Manning, and in the mean- I time we may get a house here. The i business men of Manning want it. 1 Now in the meantime stand firm and do not sign this contract this year unless you want to. Do not have y people dictate how you shall dispose of a crop that you have grown by sweat of your own brow and some of them never worked a whole day on a farm in their lives. God pity us in South Carolina, when we get to the place that we lose confidence in our selves. God pity us when we swallow a thing just to please radical ideas of others that doesn't coincide with our own conservative views. Let our motto be watchful waiting, look be fore you leap, do not swallow the bait; it has a five year hook on the inside. Yours for stand-patness, until we are all convinced. I am going to get a warehouse in Manning, if any chance, for you all. If I can not 1 will let you know wi- re I locate. Yours respectfully, R. D. Cothran.
