HARMONY PRESBYTERY FUND. Presbyterian 1 hurch at .Manning Has saWcrlbcd ?2.000 for Edtieational Institutions. The following cheering telegram was received at headquarter! of the Presbyterian tndowment fund cam? paign Friday; "Rev. a. Ci Brldgmani Columbia, S. C. "(Campaign closed. Manning church subscribes her $2,0?n. (Signed) "W. C. Davis." This makes the sixth church that has subscribed the full amount, or more, apportioned to it, the other churches being McDowell, Summer ton. Plnewood, McGill Memorial and Lake iCty. Reports for the past two days have been coming in slowly, but the total amount subscribed by the churches of Harmony prsbytery is now $13,795 from the following 24 churches: Heulah $612, McDowell $600, Brewington $80, Lanes $75, Bethune $446, Pine Tree $165, Turkey Creek $35, Sardinia $328, Midway $241. lit Zion $3.496, Mayesvllle $1,062, Camden $700, Summerton $512.

There are still 12 churches that have sent in no report, though it is probable that a number of these have made subscriptions. While some of these churches are among the small? est and weakest in the presbytery, yet others are among the largest and strongest. An effort Is being made to rally the churches tomorrow and have them make a strenuous effort to com? plete the canvass by Monday, if possi? ble. It is essential that Harmony presbytery raise its full apportion? ment. $25,000.?Columbia State. ATTEMPT AT HOLD-VP. Negroes shoot Colored Store Keeper and Then Flee from Store.

Clarke is getting on very well. He was not seriously wounded, the ball entering the should? er and making its way upward, com? ing out through the back of the shoulder. Clark stated that the men entered his store and one of them told him to hold up his hands and turn over his cash.

The Whistle of the Seaboard. Manning Times. The whistle of the Seaboard rail? road will be heard in this c ounty be? fore many months, and we think if our city fathers will get busy the en? terprise win be hastened, as we think the railroad people are now ready to open up negotiations for concessiona if Manning gets in a position to offer a concession similar to that given by Bishopvllle, there is no doubt in our mind of the road coming into this town, but if there is nothing done on the part of the people here, every? body laying |OW hoping that some? body else will do the giving, and then take advantage of the progress to tqueete we may not get the road at Uli The extension of the South Caro? lina Western from this city to Char? leston, which is conceded to be a cer? tainty in the mar future, will be ? great thing for Clarendon county and for the towns through which it will pass. Geographically Summerton oc? cupies, tie strategic position, but Man? ning may be ab!? to offer Inducements that will more than counterbalance the advantages of position. But even though Bummerton receive the prefer? ence ami secure the through line. Manning may still obtain the advan* tages of a Seaboard connection when the Alderman road Is extended to Buni? ter, by obtaining a connection with that road. lohn Turner, the white man who wai presented bj the grand jury last w? ,-k for lib i \\ lale ol liquor nl the Palmetto Club, came In and deliver* ? d hlmst if up in the sheriff as soon ni ho ho.ltd lhat he was wanted, not waiting to be arrested He was im? mediate 1) rt lease d on bond 1'. c.

The November Woman's Home Com? panion. Woodrow Wilson, Democratic can? didate for the Presidency, contributes to the November Woman's Home Companion an interesting anicle which is really a message to women. In it he develops the idea that those with whom we entrust our govern? ment at Washington ought, as he ex? presses it, to "keep house" for the whole people. Our revenues, he says, should not be put at the disposal of a governing class or of any limited set of governing influences. As he goes along Mr. Wilson illustrates his points with specific suggestions. Mr. S. Seymour Thomas made the picture of Governor Wilson for the cover. It is a study he made for his own use in painting a portrait of the Governor which is not v*?t finlnhpd best portrait of the Governor which she had ever seen. The November Companion contains ' many other entertaining special ar ' tides among which are: "Women of J the Campaign;" "The Girl in the 'Small Town:" "A Successful Step j mother;" "A Patient s Account of j Days in the Hospital; ' and The (Training of a Child." * ?lf* I mj Fiction is contributed by Justus Miles Forman, Kathleen Norrie, I bei Gordon Curtis, Beulah Marie I War?!
