Regi ~t 9~ 100! 00 BELL FOUND GULITY IN FLORIDA COURT Clearwater, Fla., Oct. 17.-Abraham Bell, charged with a misdemeanor in connection with the death of his son, Gibson, last winter, becaues he was alleged to have refused medical treat, ment, depending upon rleigious minis trations, was found guilty in the coun ty court here today. His attorneys gave notice of a plea for a new trial. The motion for a new trial had not been granted when court adjourned It was reported that sentence would be pronounced tomorrow. Bell was on the stand during the en tire day answering. a cross fire of questions from the state. The defense condemned the act of local physicians in entering the home of the father to request him to administer diptheria anti-toxin to the child. Attorneys said this caused the boy to become excited and probably hastened his death. It wa, brought out in the evidence that the boy had died while his father was leading him across the room by the hand. Examination of Bell by the state dealt largely with the ability of Chris tian Science practitioners, through di vine assistance, to effect cures. Bell himself had become a healer, he testi fied. He attended a two week's course at the Christian Science school. This course dlid not include hygiene in the common application, he said, but only mental hygiene.

MANNING BEATS BISHIOPVILLE In a very interesting: game of foot ball Manning defeated Bishopville by the score of 25 to 0. Bishopville was completely out-classed in every de partment of the game. The game started by Bishopvillo kicking to Manning on the first play, a pass McLeod to Bell, Manning made fifty yards. In the next two plays Eadon carried the ball over for a touch-down. Orvin failed to kick goal from the 20 yard line. Manning then kicked off to Bishopville, who lost the ball on downs on their 30 yard line. By a series of line bucks, end runs, and passes Manning again, crossed the goal line.

RAILROADS TO SPEND MUCH MONEY SOON Cincinnati, Oct. 17.-That the rail roads of the country will expend millions of dollars for new yards, trackage and warehouses within the next five years was the opinion ex pressed today by C. R. Knowles of Chicago president of the American Railway Bridge and Building as. o ciation, in annual convention adldres here. "While it is usual for the railroads to spend millions of dollars annually for repairs and in' provements the amount that will be spent within the next five years will be the greatest in history" said Mr. Knowles. "The car shortage which exists at the present time is the result of extreme ly heavy movement of freight tied up during the rail and coal strikes. During the period following the World war there was little opportunity for the carriers to spend money Tor im provements. With the monetary sit uation impro\ved the railroads can nowv more easily obtain goods to make repairs and expansions."

Editor Manning Times, Dear Sir: Please give me space in your valu able paper to mention briefly some things a party of friends and I saw in North Carolina last week. Messrs. W. C. Plowden, W. T. Ken nedy, J. W. Morris, and I left the above named place at 8 o'clock in the forenoon in company with Mr. R. D. Cothran of Manning, to go Ito Wilson North Carolina, to visit the tobacco market and get some information at first hand. We went via Florence, crossing the Pee Dee River at Mars Bluff. Of course the reader will understand that we went in automobiles, after cross ing the river we went via Marion, Lat ta, Dillon, Rowland, N. C., Lumber ton, St. Paul, Fayettsville, and Dunn. We arrived at Dunn, about dark, and put up for the night. After supper we set out to investigate conditions in this charming little city, for such it is as it has beautiful streets, elec tric lights, good business houses, and every thing that goes to make up a real modern city. We found stores crowded with cus tomers, and business on a real boom, out around the freight station we saw about fifteen hundred bales of white cotton whose staple, had neve:r been tinged by the boll weevil pest that had been sampled and sold that day on the independent cotton market of this little city. We talked to business men in gen eral about how business was, every body said with one accord, good, but we are expccting the boll weevil next year. We were very much impressed with the roa(Is and beautiful country from I umberton, to Dunn, cotton planted in abundance and much of it would make more than a bale per acre. We left Dunn Sunday morning and went via Benson, Smithfield, Selna, to Wilson, this too is a beautiful sec tion made up of fine cotton and to bacco farms. We arrived in Wilson about noon Sunday. We went to the Briggs hotel and registered, and after getting a much needed rest we put out to see some of the sights we had had heard awaited us in the king to bacco city of the world. Our curios ity carried us around quite a bit. We of course walked down to the tobacco warehouse section. 1Here we got a glimpse of what we had heard so much talk about for years, Wilson's large tobacco warehouses, we had not been here long before these large establishments were opened up and tobacco began to pour in in solid trains of wagons, this continued throughout the night, my room was near the street and I could hear the rumbling of wagon wheels as they passed down the streets headed to wards the biggest bright tobacco cen ter in the world. We got up next morning bright and early and again went (Iown to inspect at first hand what was going on in Wilson from a tobacco market stand point. We found the warehouses lipping full to overflow, and wagons standing in the street at six o'clock in the morning. At nine o'clock the auction sales began with four sets of buyers, and I mean four auctio.i sales going on at the same time in four seperate houses too, and believe me things were moving and humming. We found the tobacco sales entirely satisfactory to the growers, we heard no grumbling, we found that Wilson has a much better grade of tobacco than we have in our section. And aside from the better types the prices were about like they were on the Man ning market this year. We walked around the tobacco center until we had convinced ourselves that Wilson was a real tobacco market. We were told that the six houses had up that day around one million pounds(1, and we do not dloubt the statement either, as it looked to us we had ind~eedl come to the biggest thing of the kind pos sible to be gotten together in one place. We thinik that we were much b me fitted by our trip to Wilson. We have come back home full of newv thoughts, new asperations. We wvant to see bigger things (lone in Clarcndon County. We want to see our pleople make better grades of t -bacco, we want to see them improve in their methods of growing and handling, we found that the farmer in Wilson County, N. C., that used good methods was being wvell p~aid for his efforts. We want to see the business men of Manning get behind a movement that will give us better methods of handling our tobace'o in 1922 than we had this year. We want to see R. D. gothran have a better house next year. We all feel kindly towards him and the Manning market, and the business men of Manning in general, we are well pleased with the good roadls leading to Manning. Let's wvake upl for 1923. Yours respectfully, .T. II. Duflose.

PERSHING LAUDS NORTH CAROLINA General Sees Americanism Lived There AT OPENING OF FAIR All He Needs to Visit State is Invita tion and Tine, lie Says. Raleigh, N. C., Oct. 17.-"When I hear people talk about Americanism I am going to tell them to come to North Carolina and see it lived," Gen. John .J. Pershing told thousands of cheering Tarheels on the mud-soaked grounds the state fair today at noon when he spoke briefly following the formal opening of the fair by Gov. Cameron Morrison. General Pershing, who reviewed reg ular army artillerymen, National Guard troops and North Carolina State college R. O. T. C. in a parade which he led to the state fair, left this afternoon at 5:40 o'clock for New Orleans, where he will attend the con vention of the American Legion. The only mishap of the day, oc curred when three rounds of General Pershing's salute had been fired by Fort Bragg artillery. A team of horses, frightened by the shots, dash ed straight at the artillery outfit. The crowd scattered but theartillerymen stuck to their mounts until horses, imen and equipment were piled to gether at the foot of a tree, 100 yards from their starting place. Privates O'Dell an dMitchell of Battery B, Sec ond Field artF 'ry, were injured. Geenral Per ing was greeted with a roar of applause from the thousands packed in front of him. Beginning with a few pleasantries he coi grat ulated North Carolina on the national industry of the people and continued: "That government is short sighted that fails to read the lessons of his'ory and to make some sort of preparation for waar. We have now on the statu te books a military policy which if .lo veloped will give us reasonable pre paredness and I know it will have the support of the veterans of the World war. "I see before me many men who served in the World war. I desire to take this oportunity to say to them that the records of soldiers of North Carolina are not surpassed by that of the troops of any state. "Hlereafter, When I hear people talk about Americanism I am r ng to tell them to come down to Not o Carolina and see it lived. Your heritage im poses an obligation on you. But why tell you all this ? You know it better than I do. But I do want to tell you that North Caroline ,cads the United States in producing real Ameri cans and hereafter, all that I want to bring me to this state is an invita tion and a day that I can take away from the work that is mine."
