There is work for the civic league to do, and while the spirit is on now is the time. The ne wPapers, daily and weekly, ar as Insipid the days as the Florida oranges that are now on the market. The County Supervisor expects to Woon remove the caingan into the Sa lem section to put the roads there in rst-lass condiion. - There will probably be a reopening of the Blanmville past office in the near future, and it ought to be for the con wenlence of a large commnunity. A rear treat in store for the people of Manning and vicinity, Tuesday eve'l lng, March 15th, at School Auditorium, "Royal Hungarian Orchestra." Oh, THE TIES Is punky this week, and we sy so too, but how can we do better when there is nothing doing, and that lazy feelingsocommonl in the spring time is on. There was qiea number of the town yong flksthat went to Sumter to attend the play, St. Elm, last night. They chartered a private car to return bome after the play. There will be a home-talent comedy Sat Turbeville in the Woodman on March 11th. Judging irom the cast of characters there is a treat in store for the people of that vicinity. A man in Marlboro coughed un two pins the ether day, and. it is the subject for newspaper comment. Why, it is a common occurance for the writer to cough up several dollars and nothing is thought of It. The ameunt of fertilizer being hauled Is an indication that the farmers are preparing for a large crop but we hope the high price for cotton last year will not cause the farmers oneglect his grain erop this year. Manning is to have an ice plant this summer, the machinery has been order ed, and under the management of the owner, Mr. W. S. Harvin, it will be a success. as every enterprise he touches always succeeds. The Rigby Dry Goods Company's Mil liner, Miss Evelyn Pusey, has arrived from Baltimore, ana the young lady comes highly renammanded asan expert in her line, which we have no doubt will be good news to the husbands and dad In today's News and Courier the name of son. J. H. Lsesne is men tioned as a probable candidate for con gress. The probability is that if Hon. George S. Legare decides not to stand for re-election there will be a number of aspirants for this place. Mrs. Mitch Wells, manager of the Ladies Millinery Parlor, has returned from the North. She spet some time in New York and other N orthern mar Kets makring purchases and feels sue that her up-to-date selections of Spring hats and other millinery will please. Magistrate Richbourg, of Summer-1 too, is here today to hold preliminaries in the liquor cases that were reported by the detectives some seeks ago. The evidence to be taken is only that of the prosecution, which spells the binding over to the sessions court those charged. The women made themselves hideous last eason by wearing hats that an in-I dian squaw would scorn, and now they are playing havoc with their looks by - fixing their hair to make them look like a dagoe's wife pasingc around a tam bourine.

Blanc'card, father of the bride, at the home of the bride's parents, yesterday afternoon, Mr. Paul Repton Alderman, of Alcolu, and Miss Mina Bmanchard. The couple left immediately for a tour of the North. The marriage was a quiet affair, only the immediate families were present. Dr. W. S. Pack of Greenville, a form er citizen of Manning. stopped over in Meanning last Friday on his way home froma Charleston and spent the day. Doc wor Pack not only has built up an exten sire practice in the city of Greenville, but he is also a large owner of real es case there. We ... always glad to see the Doctor in his native town. Mr. J. L. Sims, editor of the Orange burg Times and Democrat, spent last Thursday in Mtanninag on a visit to his brother-in-law, MayorP. B. Mouzon. Mr. Sims has a kind feeling for Man ning, having spent many pleasant days here when courting his first wife. He was greatly impressed with the progress the town has made, and is especially de lighted wirth our nam-t honre. We are requestwA to announce that the Ladies Aid Society of Panola. will have a hot supper at the Panola school house next Friday night, for the benefit of the parsonage. One of the features of the occasion will be an eating demon strad-on by Professor William P- Davis, a gentleman who deserves a reputation for his masticating ability. Let every body go out to see the performance of Professor Davis The State Supreme Court has revers ed the circuit court in decision reached in the case of the State against Seth Shorter, indicted and found guuty on the charge of disposing of cotton under mortgage. Shorter was convicted and sentenced to pay a fine of $100 or serve six months on the chaingang. The court says in its opinion that the only question involved, is whether the defendant own ed the prosecutor anything. The big sale going on at the Krasnoff store attracted a large crowd to Man ning last Saturday. and his store was fI from morning untlUlate in the night with buyers. Krasnoff got tired waiting for the trade to come ordinarily, so he offered extra inducements for the peo ple to part with the stuff that is intend ed for circulation, it is having the de sired efect as will be seen by taking a look into his store, and note the differ ence between Krasnoff's and the shop that is contented to fisherman-like, wait for a bite. The regular meeting of the Camp of Woodmen is next Monday and it is earnestly requested that every Sov erign be present. This will be the first meeting for the new Consul Comman der to preside, and it is his wish to have a new life thrown into the organi ztion. Woodmen. your Consul Com mander cannot build up the camn as you desire unless; he has your support and presence, and if this camp is to have a successful career this year. the membership must manifest an interest. Therefore we appeal to every Sovereign to turn out Mondy night and give the newly elected officers a good qena off. Let every member see to it that he in duces another brother to be at the meeting. The legislative delegation met in Manning last Monday to consider the matter of :ecommending a county com missioner to be appointed by the Gover nor in the place of Mr. Ben P. Broad way, declined. There was a number of applications from srlendid men for the delegation to consider, and it is a pleas ure to know that any one of the appli cants could with sincerity be reco mmended. but as only one could be chosen, the delegation reached the con clusion that inasmuch as the Supervisor comes from the Salem section, the va ancy should be filled from the section from where the vacancy occured. and therefore it was decided to recomniend Capt. J. A. James of Summerton, a man who has had experience with railroad building, and who it is believed will take an active interest in certain work in the western partof the county where it is sorely needed. We had talks with several Salemites this week, and from what we can gh er, those people over there har cut their eye teeth, and the strikers for the moned interests who are being paid to get petitions signed will not have easy sailing. The majority are not in favor of dismembering Clarendon to gratify the speelators interested in Olanta. One prominent citizen told us that it is practically impossible for the Olanta project to succeed, even if every vote in Salem should be cast for it, because the new county cannot get the necessary wo-thirds vote in the other counties, as those people are as much opposed to he Olanta scheme as is THE TDDLS editor. Then why should our people sign the pesitions and bring about the expense of a survey and an election to be paid for, not by the promoters of the new county, but by the taxpayers. who are not to reap any benefit even if they sneed. Let the petitions alone is our advice. The patrons of Rehobeth school on Santee are considerably agitated over te conduct of Miss Rebecca Bagnal, a ughter of Mr. James Bagnal. It ap pears that Miss Mabell Flagg, the teach er of the school, had occasion to punish Mr. Bagnal's little boy for some infrac tion of the rules, and on the next day his sister Rebecers committed an assault upon Miss Flagg with a stick. The com munity is incensed at the conduct of the BagnA's, and the trustees have or dered the I discontinuance at the school, hey have also proscuted the girl who ommitted the assault upon Miss Flagrg. We are told that the teacher is awfully humiliated at the treatment she receiv ed and while the stick was being applied to her she was shocked so that she of fered no resistence. Miss Flagg is an excellent young lady, not very robust and strong: that the people of that sece ,ion are indignant is notsurprising. This it is said, is not the first trouble this family of children have had at school, they gave trouble at Trinity and at Jordan, and now again a:, Rehobeth. Jst what will be the outcome remains o he seen, but it should be made clear that school teachers are ent'led to pro tection from the law. \anning City Lyceum's fourth at traction of the season-Royal Hungar Ian Orchestra, Tuesday, Maach 15, at *hool Auditorium. Was It Set? Sunday night about 10:30 fire broke out in the prize house of the Pepe Tobacco Warehouse, and before the fire engine could get a stream of water the flames had gotten such headway that it! was impossible to do more than save the fire from spreading and destroying the thickly nestled houses in the vicinity, s it was, a tenant house belonging to Mrs. F. E. Brocginton and occupied by a Mrs. Nichols was carried away by the The prize house was filled with hay1 belonging to Mr. W. P. Legg, about forty tons, and this was entirely destroy ed. Mr. Legg has $500 insurance which of course will not compensate for the loss. The building was insured for $600, it was a three story wooden structure,I and would cost several times the amount of insurance to rebuild it. considerable damage was done to the fencing belong ing to Mrs. Brockinton, and also to the lurniture of the people living in the nearby houses who were forced to move. Had the wind been blowing the other way the loss would have been much greater. Sparks and pieces of burning wood was carried fully one-fourth of a mile, catching the barn of Dr. Geo. L. Dickson, and an outhouse belonging to Mr. F. W. Dickson. There was a veri tble rain of sparks in the cemetery. There is grave suspicion that this fire which came near being very disastr'ous, is the work of some devilish flecd. Some months ago a fire occured in a tenant b ise close to this prize house within a short time after the Clark wareh,,use was destroyed, and it was only because of a favorable wind, and the hardest work that the prize house which was burned Sunday night, was saved then: it was the opinion of some at that time that the fire was start~ed in the tenant house to get the prize and warehouse, now again the same place is visited by the tire fiend, this time the suspicion is een stronger, because there was no way o fire getting into the building without being caried or originatin~g there, the windows were all nailed up, and the dissecurely fastened, therefore it was work of an incendiary or spontane Ou combustion, the former theory is the general sentiment. raddte's Card. I hereby announce myself as a candi date for Mayor of the town, and as soon as ourt is over will state my platform either through the paper or to a meet On Thursday evening.

CTzere A Former Citizen of Clarendon Snicides. The Sunday New, of the 4wh ist.. contains zn account of the sef-dtu tion of a man who was at one time a citizen of Clarendon, and who afterwards moved to Sumter. "*Bill Sparks" for a number of vears lived at Foreston and frequently came to Manning. lie was of a rovingr disposition and had traveled all over the L'nion working at his trade. The last time we saw Sparks he was do ing work on the Columbia Female CAl lege. which is being rebuilt. The fol lowing is the News' zecount. Asa resultof adoseof laudanumu taken Thursday evening. W. A. Sparks. of No. 15 John street, a foreman carpenter. died at his home Saturday morning. The coroner's jury. which held an inquest over the body Saturday afternoon at 5 o'clock. at the McAlister undertaking establishment, on Meeting street. bring ing in a verdict to the effect that the carpenter had died of laudanum poison ing, the fluid having been imbibed with suicidal intent during a fit of temporary aberration of the mind. Sparks had been living at No. 15 John street for several months and was well known in contracting and carpenter cir cles in the city. The news of his death was received with surprise Saturday mornin. He is said to have filled ser eral contracts since first coming to Char leston. and was considered a model car penter. Friends of the dead man, how ever, claim that he very freouently dur ing the last few weeks complained bit terly of the fact that he was unable to procure enough work. and they believe that the cause of his self-destruction can he traced to this. Th L. the contractor had made up his mind o die by h-s own hand was evidenced by a note, which r.e left to the coroner. and which he evi dently wrote before taking the dose of poison, which resulted in his death Sat urday morning. The contents of the note, which was read at the inquest Saturday evening. were as follows: "No use to put the county to any "x pense I have done this myself. because life has become too mi-erable to live. None to blame or to attach suspicion to. Ship me. just as I am, to my mother, Mrs. C. D Sparks, Bennetsvilie, S. C Yours, (Signed) "W. A. Sparks."

Dr. T. W. Reynolds testified at the inquest Saturdry even ing to the effect that he had giv, n Sparks medical attention during his short illness. The physician stated that the dying man had als> acknowledged to him that he had taken the dose of laudanum with suicidal intent. The booy was shipped to Bennetsville by Undertaker McAlister, as request-! by Sparks in his note to the coroner.

To the Voters of the Town: I stated in the announcement of myself as a candidate for Mayor that I would briefly state my views to the voters of the town for their consider ation. I ne word first as to how I was got ten into the race. For the last three terms I have been approached by the father of the leader of the present op position and urgzed to allow :ay name to be used for Mayor, assuring~ melI would have no opposition. I p1--ad pressure of my own affairs as an ex cuse for declining. Again, several weeks ago I was urged by the spokes men of the present opposition to r-un, and consenied, so I take it those who will vote against me will do so. not because of a want of fitness, but for other reasons, among them being the popularity of my opponent, he being a most excellent gentleman. As I understand the real ground and reason for any opposition, how ever, is because I was opposed to the 'block ticket' system. Not opposed to the men on the proposed ticket, they being doubtless my personal friends, but to the principle of selec ting the ticket for the citizens to voto-. they being in my judgment. compe tent to select their officers themsel ves, and certainly they ought to be inter ested enough to get men into the race from whom a selection might be made. In short I contend our primary system is good enough for town elec tions, and that there should be only one ticket upon which the names of all candidates for Mayor and Alder men should be printed, and that the voter should scratch those he does not wish to vote for. It was argued this 1:as not good politics-maybe not- but it is the wa.-y to select the best council. for by it every man stands upon his merit. Notwithstanding the fact that I was good enough for their ticket un ti1 the above di fference developed, no sooner had I announced myself than it was stated upon the street that I had said, "if elected, I would saddle the sewer system. of which Comnpany I am President, upon the town.'' To the thoughtful I need not state. that entering upon a race, with any hope of election. I would not be such a simpleton as to make such a fo':' .h statement. The statement, however, is not only utterly false in every par ticular. but I have never even dream ed of such a thing. This may be bet ter politics than my idea about the selection of a council, but it was sprung too far ahead of the election, As I have stated to some, I now rett erate as a pledge, that if elected May or this shall never be done while I am in office, except over my solemn p~ro test, and I hope all candidates for Al (erman will be similarly pledged. One more word as to my platform: I shall give the same careful study to to the town's needs and business ams I try to give to my private business. and expect to spend a portion of each day that 1 atm in town in the town clek's offiee attending to the town's affairs. Every ordinance up-:n the statute book shall be strictly enforced, and jstice meted o'2t to everyone coming before mec judicially. Only the law breaker need be afraid. I shall stand for a clean and hmeat thy town-not only for clean streets, but for clean back lots and premnises. From what I understand is the con. dition of the town finances, v'ery lit te can be done for several years in the way of a forward movement, or in permanent public improvements, but by careful economy I should hope to make possiblt .1 a few years some substantial progress. If the finances should not warrant the publication in a newspaper of every item of town receipts and ex penditures, I should advocate the pa:.,-ge of an ordinance requiring the town clerk to tile on the last day of each month an itemized 'tatement of such receipts and disbursements for the month with the Clerk of Court, or some other public official, where any citizen could examine the same at any time. I would much prefer discussing these and other matters in person be fore the voters, but such in brief is my position. Respectfully. W. .e. DAVIS.
