Holladay, pastor of the Manning Presbyterian church, will preach at Harvin's next Sunday after. noon at 4 o'clock in the Methodist church. Now that the ice is broken, candi dates will put aside their timidity and make their announcements for the otfi ces they want. The people are looking for them. The display windows of the Mutual and of Till's'are very pretty indeed. Both of these stores have made .much preparation to entertain their visitors tonight and tomorrow. Married at the Baptist parsonage in Florence on the 22nd, inst., Col. W. B. Wilson of Cades and Mrs. Bessie Thiele Saltmarsh of Chicago. Col. Wilson was formerly of this county. Hon. M. L. Smith of Camden, the Speaker of the House of Representa tives, has been invited to deliver t'ne annual address at the Summerton graded school commencement. Mr. A. Nachm~an of Darlington is in Maning on a visit to his nephew Mr. A. Weinberg. Mr. Nachman is one of Darlington's retired business men, and spends a good part of his time travel ing in Europe, We are requested to announce that the regular meeting of the county farmers association will meet in the court house next Saturday. This notice should have been published last weekd, but through an oversight the secretary failed to send us the notice. Everybody should turn out to see the display of dress goods, laces and millh nery at The Mutual Dry Goods store this evening. These young men have made elaborate preparations to show to the people of this town and vicinity what the very latest in fashions are. The first gun of the county campaign in this county comes froin Mr. L. L. Wells who announces his candidacy for the office of sheriff- Mr. Wells has served the county in the office of school commissioner, and as rotation in office was a Reform principle he presents him self for sheriff. Openings appears to be an importaiit part of the dry goods and millhnery lines, and Mr. S. I. Till has gone _to considerable expense to make a dis play which he regards the most at tractive he has ever yet made. His store is next door to the Mutual, and there is a friendly rivalry between the two establishments. Both have ex pert milliners, and each believe they have the finest, and Till says he car prove by the public this evening that he is correct. The Rogers-Grilley combination1 un der the auspices of the local lyceumt gave on last Monday evening at the In stitute hall a very nice performance. Mr. Rogers is a harpiest of a very higlr order, and Mr. Grilley is an excellen1 entertainer. His rendition of The last of the Scot Guard was a magnificien1 piece of dramatic elocution. The au dience was highly pleased and gren hilarious when he sang The Colorec Lochinvar which was not new to them but as presented by Mr. Grille;. it was very comical. His song about the mar who went shopping in a departmen store with his two months bride wai really good. Jenkinson's opening on Thursda: evening, Friday and Saturday was: grand affair. On Thursday evening th< town turined out en masse and up to : late hour his elegant and elaborate dis play of good-, was inspected. The mani attaction for the ladies was, of course the millinery department, which i orsided over by Miss Beulah William f Georgia, assisted by Mrs. Beulal Dinkins and Miss Mattie Felder. Th Jenkinson store is without doubt one c the handsomest in this section of th State. and he and his assistants desery much praise for the attractive displa of goods. The window decoration wa done by Mr. C. F. Jenkinson. and1 was a thiing of beauty. The entir'e ax rangement was excellent and we ai feel proud of Mr. Jenkinson's successi giving to this sectioa such a magnit n business establishment. We had a call from a gentleman who is deeply interested in the Pine Grove school, one of the best in the county, and he asked us to explain why it is that his school received from the three mill constitutional tax a little over one half as much money this year as it got the year before. He says in 1903 the proportion for Pine Grove was $314.03 and for 1904 it is only 8183.?;. Not be ing familiar with the school fund divis ion we could not give the uecessary in formation. However. Superintendent Holladay, we have no doubt. will be able to make a satisfactory explanation. Happy, Healthy Children. Any child can take Little Early Iis ers with perfect safety. They are harm less, never gripe or sicken, and yet they are so certain in results that robnst constitutions requiring drastic means are never disappointed. They cannot fail to perform their mission and every one who uses DeWitt's Little Early Ri ers prefer them to all other pills. They cure biliousness. Sold by The R. B. Loryea Drug Store. On last Thursday night the Hiresh mann store, next door to the postoftice, was a great attraction, and it only ver ifies the value of legitimate competi tion. A stream of callers were passing in and out of Hirschmann's during the whole evening and the favorable com ments must have been gratifying to Mr. Hirschmann and his wife, who have labored hard to give their milli nery department a high place in the estimation of fashion seekers. This department had in it some of the most beautiful pattern hats at prices which seemed to be popular and made for the Hirschmanns a large number of orders. A Boy's Wild Ride for Life. With family around expecting him to die.and a son riding for life,18 miles, to get Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds, W. H. Brown. of Leesville, Ind., endured death's agonies from asthma: but this wonderful medicine gave instant relief and soon cured him. He writes: "I now sleep soundly every night." Like mar velous cures of consumption, pneumo nia, broncuitis, coughs, colds and grip prove its matchless merit for all throat and lung troubles. Trial bottles free at The R. B. Loryea Drug Store. The inspection at Panola of the cav alry troops of this county by the In spector General aided by a United States officer on next Saturday will be one of the greatest social events of the rear. There will be a large crowd, and the Panolaites as is customary with them, make these occasions a gala one, and see to it that everybody has a good time. Colonel Brailsford is such an enthusiastic entertainer, that when he comes to shake off this mortal coil he will want to go where there are crowds of ladies and bands of music. with him as host-in-chief, to make everybody happy. The ladies of that section are going to have refreshments. and it is to be hoped this section will be well repre sented. Sciatic Rheumatism Cued. "I have been subject to sciatic rheu matism for years," says E. H. Waldron of Wilton Junction, Iowa. "My joints were stiff and gave me much pain and discomfort. My jointg would crack when I straightened up. I used Cham berlain's Pain Balm and hare been thoroghly cured. Have not had a pain or ache from the old trouble for many months. It is certainly a most wonder ful liniment." For sale by The R. B. Loryea Drug Store, Isaac M. Loryea, Prop. There Was no Meeting-Will There Bef In the last issue of THE TIMES, we suggested that a mass meeting be held in the court house on the 25th,_ to dis cuss town affairs, and the advisability of nominating a ticket for the election to take place April 11th. Quite a num ber expressed their approval of such a meeting, but when the hour arrived only about a dozen men showed up, and of course such a small number could not be any more representative than the one, two or three men who have already put forward tickets, hence that meeting was abandoned. The main object of the meeting was to assemble the citizen taxpayers, dis cuss the powers council will have under the new charter, and obtain an expres sion from those who would consent to serve on council. There is one thing certain, the people of Manning will have no proper reason to complain should a council enact ordinances, and make contracts which are burdensome, because,the disposition to talk privately and not act boldly and openly is mani festly disgusting. We have had men to come to us and urge the calling of a mass meeting that citizens might let their ideas be known, and some of these were so, not only conspicuously absent, but upon investigation we found they aided others in throwing cold water upon the project. We have no care as to the effect of our views, whether they jar upon the feelings of this man or that; nor do we care if we are regarded an tagonistic of this or that man's politicaj or financial interests, if we perform our duty conscientiously then it is up to thevoters to do theirs or suffer the consequences. There will be an elec tion on the 11th day of April fora Mayor and six Aldermen: at this elec tion no one has a legal right to vote who has not been a resident of the STATE TWO YEARS, THE COUNTY ONE YEAR AND THE TOWN FOUR MONTHS, except ministers and teachers whc shall be entitled to vote after a resi dence of six months in the State. W4 do not know whether or not the regis tration officer has issued ::ertificates t< men who are not qualified to vote, bu1 we take it, that no decent white mat would attempt to vote if he is not legal l qualified, and should managers per mit illegal votes cast it might result it an illegal election and cause confusior whether or not there is opposition. I is always safe to start right, but if cor rupt practices are countenanced in th< beginning it will establish a most bane ful precedent. We feel it incumbent upon us to dlirec attention to the new powers council wil have, so that no intelligent voter cai have ignorance as an excuse if hei disappointed after he has voted. W, propounded the following questions t, those who intend to consent to be votes for in the coming election: 1. Do you favor raising the tax levy Under the new charter council ha the power to raise the levy to 10 mills 2. Do you favor installing waterwork~ around 'the business portion of th town only? The object of this question wast ascertain wvhether or not the candidat would favor using the town's moneyt build a standpipe and lay water-pipe to protect the business portion an leave the resident portion uinpr'otectec Council would have the power to . this, and by raising the tax to 10 mill upon all of the property in towni would raise enough money to build an manansuch an unjust discriminatiot It could be operated thusly: Two c more persons could apply for a charte from the State and organize a wate: works company, obtain a franchise froi the town, and then enter into a contrac for a term of years to build a stan'. pip; and lay waterpipes within a given are; to be paid for out of the town's trea u ry. To raise a sufficient sum to me4 the contract conditions, it would na raly necessitate the tax levy to 1 rrised, and then all of the propert ithtonmay be found paying tr ute to a orporation who has made ontract with the town as a busime in vestment, and only a favored fe a protected or benefited: we see 1 r eason to prevent a man who will sern n coci to- co e utonly and bolt ly and say whether or not be would vote for such a measure. 3. Would you oppose installing water works unless the same is installed to protect the whole town? This question may appear similar to question 2. The difference is this. To install waterworks for the whole town would necessitate a bond issue, and un der the general incorporation Act council would be forced to submit the ouestion of issuing bonds to the people who would then have a voice, but. where a limited area of the town is to be protected. council can raise the means by forcing a high tax without referring it to the people, notwithstanding all the property holders are taxed to put in the waterworks for a few. A candidate's position ought to be known. 4. Do you favor a license on trades, professions or other avocations? Voters ought to be informed as under the old charter no such powers was given. 5. Do you favor granting franchises? The man who consents to be a candi date who will not express his views upon this question does himself, and in our opinion, the people an injustice. Himself because, this is an important matter, and not answering puts him in in the light of being suspected of afraid to speak out lest he might lose the votes of those who are wanting franchises. The people, because, if they vote for him feeling that he will protect them from monopolies, and he votes for them, they will be disappointed as they will have voted for one who misrepresents them, and they would not have voted for such an one, had he made known his views, regardless of what they thought of him personally. 6. Will you vote in couueil to submit applications for franchises to a vote of the freehold voters? It does strike us there can be no harm in a man who consents to be a candidate for Mayor or Alderman to answer this question Yes or No. and if he prefers he might say if opposed to submitting the question to a vote, that he would vote in council to publish a notice of an application for franchises to give the property owners an oppor tunity to show cause, by petition or otherwise, why such a fran chise should not be granted. Council has the power to grant franchises AT WILL and we cannot see where it would be beneath the dignity of a candidate to give a public expression, especially when it is known that once a franchise is granted no future council can take it away. 7."Would you oppose in council en tering into a contract with any individ ual, firm or corporation to build a stand pipe. and lay pipes for the protection of any one particular section of the town, that would have to be paid for out of the town's treasury? We take it, unless a man, who per mits his name used as a candidate gives a public expression, he means by his silence to be uncommitted, and if he thinks he ought to be voted for as an uncommitted candidate, he ought to come out boldly and say "I will repre sent my own views in council regard less of the people, and if in my jpdg ment a little "cinch" will be of personal profit, or will profit a friend of mine, I will vote for it even if it burdens those who honored me with their confi dence." It was Vanderbilt, we believe, who said "The people be damned," but that was after he got the people where they could not help themselves. To our surprise we learned that some members of the present council took of fense because we propounded the fol lowing question: "Do these men expect to sneak into council without showing their hands?" Only one member men tioned the matter to us, and he seemed to think it a reflection upon the mem bers of the present council. How such a construction could be made, our knowledge of English will not enlight en us. We propounded that question then, and again now. What has the present council got to do with the in coriing councily The present council is nothing more nor less than village trustees, over a cross road government; the incoming council can be made a oovernment over a live young city composed of elements who will like to build and make at the expense o others, even though they share in the expense, if the profits are principally theirs. To explain: If we had the power to tax the people of Manning for a matter which enhances our own property we could afford to pay the additional tax because, our neighbors who probably _will not be benefited are forced contributors; put waterworks in a limited area may re duce insurance rates, does the property owner who is beyond the waterworks area have any benetit in the shape of cheaper insurance, or Bre protection. We can assure those members of the present council, and in fact, any live candidate for the incoming council, and for that matter, the clam-like candidate too, when we propounded the question: "Do these men expect to sneak into council without showing their bands?" we assumed, it was understood that it had no individual reference, but merely an expresion to direct attention to the importance of requiring candidates to make known their views so that voters can with a degree of intelligence vote. There are some men spoken of whom we would be glad to vote for, because they have our contidence, and are per sonal friends, but if they would vote for measures in council, matters not how honest they are, which we re gard detrimental to the town's future interests, we would vote against them, and vote for some other man whom we have less regard for personally, whose views wve approved. It is no reflection upon any man's in tegrity nor can it lower his dignity to ome out boldly and announce his views, especially under present circumstances, a nd when candidates- refuse to make known their views, it is simply forcing -us to vote blindly, a condition which s hould not exist, because, it leaves op portunity for men to be elected whc ould not be, did they "show their h ands." This is what is meant, by -'sneaking into council" in a political s ense. A number of tickets have been ipublished, what authority there is f or the tickets we know not, n or do we know whether or not the names suggested represent - the wishes of the people who will be applicants for special privileges,or who t have an investment in view, in which 1 they would like the assistance of the i tow~n's treasn~ry. We know nothing S about itexcept that they were not nom 3 inated at a public meeting where the ) people who will be called upon to pay 1 the piper, could have an opportumity of ascertaining their views. The tickets mva contain a majority, whose views 5 are like our own, and yet they might h ave been shrewdly selected to catch s votes, at the same time preserving e majority whose views a majority of the taxpaers would oppose did they le1 0 them be known. We have nothing tc e do with the personnel1 of those tickets or 0 any other ticket; it is not a questicn o 5 men with us, it is solely a question o d measures. Were it a question of men L. the character of the men on the o tickets named would suit us. There s is vet plenty of time, as thi .t election comes'off on the 11th day o: d April, should the taxpayers think it t< th te town's interests to have a masi r meeting it can be held in time for th< rjpople to be informed upon the issues and what the candidates represent, a n there et remains another issue of th t apein which candidates han expres e their views in print without costn L. them a cent.

They deaden the delicate nerves so that the irritation I and engorged condition of the air passages can no N longer be felt. You think you are well. But when the nerves awaken the cough returns and the tender membranes of the throat and lungs are N weaker than ever. A worthy cough remedy should do just what N Rhamne's Cough Cure does do. It equalizes the circulation and relieves congestion. It soothes the irritated surfaces and N stimulates the secretions. It cures rightly and permanently, leaving the throat and lungs in as good condition as before the cough began. Best for children because harmless-best for any one because it always cures. When you have a cough, 2 you want a sure cure that is safe. You can't get a better or safer one than ours. It is Guaranteed. Price, 25 cents. Cold Today. A recent cold can usually be cured in twenty four hours with RHAME'S Cold Cure. No pold Tomorrow. It is worth a good deal to rid yourself of the danger and discomfort in so short a time. - The remedy costs but 25c. The Winter's Havoc. Many who start the winter season well and strong, in spring find themselves suffering from the efects of severe coughs and colds, impaired nutrition or other physical disturba'nces. The low spirits, sleepless nights and restless days are nature's signals of distress. The best answer you H can give her is to take Our Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil. It is the best remedy for almost any impover ished condition of flesh or blood. When appetite N fails it restores it. When assimilation is weak it strengthens it. When the blood is impoverished it enriches it. When you are thin it brings the plumpness of health. If you need such a remedy, this one will suit you. Price, Soc. a bottle.

SPRING OFF RINGS I' The purchasing public must appreciate the sharpness of competition in the dry goods line in the city of Man ning, and be impressed with what it means to a merchant who can, not only enter this race for trade, but by his selections and prices maintain a commanding position in the contest. My friends in Clarendon and adjoining counties, I have endeavored more to merit your confidence than I have to win your money by catchy inducements. It has always been my desire to build up and maintain a trade relation of the substantial kind, and to~do this there can be no misrepresentation and every customer must be treated the same.

I know a good shoe, and to retain trade I must sell a good shoe. Come and look through this line, and I believe I sell you shoes which will give you good service and save you money.
