Business before pleasure, fee* we were asked Into the north parlor where this purt of the program was discussed. The election of new officers being the main business.

Just what each one wished they would have?these were so much enjoyed that neither suffered any injua .ce at all. **Shady Side" was never lovelier than on this occasion, with Japanese lanterns strung from tree to treu on the large, beautiful, shady yard and the south and front verandas. Just before the mid-night hours were approaching, much to our sor? row, the hours having passed too swiftly, we were compelled to bid ?dies to our most charming host and 1 am sure the Philatheas will long remember and appreciate this very pleasant evening, spent at the hos? pitable home of our dear teacher.

The foil ?wIijk tt.?r n.ibeen ad dresned lo County Supervisor P. M. Pitts, by Mr. E. O. Ingram in refer? ence to the contract between the county and the Sumte r Cotton Ware? house company, concerning which a dispute has arisen: Mr. P. M. Pitts, County Supervisor, CKy. Dear Sir: Wo have been Informed that the contract made by the County Board with the Burnt er Cotton Ware? house Co. was sought to be changed, but that action whs deferred until your next meeting, and wo have been nottfled to be present. In view of the fact that your next regular meeting will not take plac? until September 5th, and as that win be in midest of the busy season when both of us cannot be present, and in view of the statements made In the public print concerning the contract, we respectfully ask thut you call a meeting at as early a date as prac? ticable, and we hope In the next few days, to consider the matter. You wjill understand that we ask this only for the reason that apparent? ly you are going to discuss the con? tract On our part there Is nothing to dlu ouss. except to refute the statement appearing in the newspaper to the ef? fect that a clause wan "written into the contract without the knowledge or consent of the agents of the ware? house Co." which statement evidently [ got into print under a misconception of statements made by those present representing the warehouse company, for the contract was passed upon by the representative* of that company and signed in Its present shape, and they have duplicate of it, and we have not even duplicate or copy. Please advise us what day we shall appear. aS it Is most Important that any questions raised should be ills posed of in accordance with the facts. Very respect fully, K. <>. Irmram.

MANNING'S TAUKWKLL TO TUK NATIONAL Ul?Attft. governor I v\ proves Confidence In South Carolina's Troops?Tell* of Kfforl to Swurc Karly Movement to IU?rA?r-r-T? Vlwit Camp in Tcxas-t \N aruily (iroi Usl. t,. it Camp Moor?, Styx, Aug. 6.?(low ! Manning arrived in camp today short | ly before 1 o'clock, and hie farewell talk, as commander-in-c.hief of the j State's armed , forces, was, delivered from the hundatand near the First i regiment. Ho was cordially greeted I by the men who had been marched to ! the stand for the address. Tho gov? ernor in hie bilk described Ms efforts in tho Interest of the National Guard j or South Carolina. Tbc health and; comfort of tho men, ho said, had been his llrst consideration. The following Is the farewell ad? dress of Oov. Manning to the National Guard: "Officers and Men of the National Guard of South Carolina: "I was unwilling,. when the order came for the movement to the border, to allow you to leave South Carolina I without a word of farewell from me. 1 j fee! my men, a deep Interest In your j officers and men. That interest has! beon an abiding one with me. "I want to say to you that when I became governor, when this organiza? tion had been disbanded by my prede? cessor, 1 first Investigated that mat? ter, and I determined after investiga? tion that the order disbanding the Na? tional. Guard was null and void and illegal and of no effect. I restored the National Guard to its place In the government of South Carolina, and I j say to you that there is no branch ? that I regard' with . greater interest than that branch of Stole government which is filled by the National Guard,: both in its officers and men. And they have Justified that interest and eo teem which I put upon them. "When the order came for mo-1 biltsatipn of our troops there was no . man in the National Guard who failed j to respond to that call for service. You ; have responded like men, and I have felt, after you came here, a great in-< tereat in looking after your welfare. "You became restless here and were unwilling to stay here. I took the matter up with the department in Washington. I wrote to the presi? dent and I wrote to the secretary of war and urged that the National Guard of South Carolina be sent to the ' order. You kno v what tho result of that was. It came in an Order that not I until you* wore fttiulpped to the" "full; ar ttrength would you be allowed] 10 go. "Last Sunday when I was here I felt that this situation could not con? tinue. (>n last Tuesday I sat down and wrote a letter to President Wood row Wilson and I also wrote a let? ter to the secretary of war and let- j tors to other members of the cabl- , net. I placed these letters In the hands of a personal representative; I put that representative on the train 1 and sent him to Washington and told j htm not to leave there until tho or- : ders were issued nnd on Thursday I j got a telegram that everything was! arranged and that the troops would be sent to the, border, and that order came to you on Friday. I "I want to tell you that when I took that action I felt that I was do? ing not only what you wanted me to do, but I felt that I was doing what want was good for the. reputation ai.d character of the State. I am confident of It. "I want to remind you of the his? tory that stands back of you. When I asked the secretary of war that the South Carolina regiments be designat? ed as 'The Palmetto Regiments,' It was on account of the excellent rec? ord that tho Pulmetto Regiment made in the War with Mexico in 1846. "I hope that war may be averted now, but I know that if you are called upon for actual war at this time you will acquit yourselves like men, like the putriots and soldiers that you are. "It is not my purpose to make you u long speech. 1 simply was unwill? ing for you to leave here without a word of farewell from me and I bid you that word of farewell now. "l expect to go to Texas in Sep? tember or the early part of October, if I am pcrThitted to" d?T so at fett' time, on otlicial business; and it is ; certainly my intention to visit you ail I at that time, and I am sure that I j will lind that you are doing honor to 'the State of South Carolina, j "And now in conclusion, let me say j this word to you. The eyes of your State are upon you. I know that you I are going to do your duty and that j you will have the gratification and i pleasure of knowing that whatever be? falls you, wherever you are and when? ever the time may be, that the hearts Jof your Countrymen of South Caro I lina are with you. and that the prayers of your mothers, of your sis? ters, of your wives and of your friends will be with you wherever you go. i ' "Soldiers, remember that you ar j performing a duty which can not be measured in dollars and cents. You have earned the gratitude of the citi? zens of our State, and as governor and commander-in-chlef, I want you to feel and know that you have my prayers to Almighty Odd to guide and protect you wherever you may be, and I am sure that you go with that consciousness of duty to your State and to your country. I know that you will be true to your State, true to yourselves and true to your God. May God bless you. I wish you well! "I simply want to make this an? nouncement: The First regiment will jt f., leave tomorrow for the border; and the second regiment will leave the next day, , or Immediately after the First regiihent."
