the swamp the dogs began running
coons, Mr. Lanham saw a coon stand
ing on a log some distince off, which he
shot at. one of the shot penetrated the
head of Willis Bennett, and from this
wound he died about one o'clock
Thursday morning. All who wer

possibility for Mr. Lanham to have
seen the unfortunate man when he
was shot The coroner's jurv returned
a verdict of accidental killing. - Mr.
Lanham is quite dirtr-ss.d over t.he
killing although he recogniz--s that it
was purely accidental. and in this he is
sustained by both white and colored
who were present, yet it grieves him,
which is the natural feeling of a gen

i Meeting Of The Santee Association.
The thirt3-seventh annual meeting
of the Santee Association convened
with the Horeb chut-ch near Dalzell,
Nov. the 6th, 7th, and 8th. Rev. M
W. Rakin preached the introductory
sermon the night. of the 6th . after
which delegates were enrolled and the
organization wais rerfected.
Rev. J. W. Wilder was re-elected
Moderator and Dr. C. C. Brown was
continued as clerk, and Rev. Wm.
Haynesworth was re-elected treasurer.
The firstsession was well attended, as
were all those that followed. A fine
spirit pervaded the whole meeting.
Keen ite-est was taken in all the dis
cussions of the different pha-es of
work and objects fostered by the
churches All the pastors were pres
ent., besides a number of the promi
nent lavmeu from the various churches.
There were also a few lady delegates
The reports from the various church
es were very gooo indeed. The Santee
Association is one of the smaller Asso
ciations, having only twenty-four
churches, whic-h have altogether a
membership of aboeut, two thousand and
six hundred. The amounts given an
nually for all objects is something like
$30.00 Perhaps, there is more rep
resentaw ive giving in the Santee Asso
ciation than in rny other Associatioin
in the State. That is, there are more
individual givers than any other Asso
ciat-ion, acco-ding u; the proportion of
the membership. The churches are
well orj:auized, and as a whrole. have
good strong pastors. The pa.tors for
the most p.rt, are (olle-get bred men.
and have had seminars training. A
fine and cordial brotherly spirit pre
vails among all the pastors, which
makes it possible for them to work to
gether in harmony. and along the line
of co-operation. There is no one in the
Association who tries to boss, and lord
it. over his brethren; hut the kindliest
feeling exists for each other. Pure
democracv is the chief cornr stonie of
al our struct ure. We are al: up.on an
equal wben itc me- t.: rights and au
thority.
Th.ere were several visiting breth
ren among those in attendance upon
the meetings. Dr. W. T Derieux,
Corresponding Secretary and Treasur
er of the State Mission Board, was
present and plead the cause of State
Missions Rev J. D. Huggins, of
Denmark, was present. au made a fine
address on education R-v J. E. Me
Manaway, of Gree nville, an evan.-elht
untier the apuointm.-nat of th-i Home
Mission Board, was present and took
subscriptions for the Home Field, and
also took part in the discu-sion on the
Home Mtis-ion report. Rev. W. E.
Wilkins, Se-retary of th- Laymen's
Move-meat, was also present and made
an address. Dr. A. J. Hall, president
of Coker College. came on Saturday
and took part in the discussion on ed
ucation.
The Horeb church spared no troub!e
to care for the delegates. Every one
received hospitable treatment. There
was super-abundance to eat, a goodi
place to sleep, and plenty kind and
cordial welcome. Each host or hostess
vred one with another in the matter of
entertaining their respective delegates.
The next meeting, which will be on
Thursday nient before the second Sun
day in Nov. 1914. will meet with the
Paxville Baptist. church. No doubt the
Paxville saints will do their utmost in
caring for tbe Association at that time.

birds left to be killed, as there were
previous to the 15th. Summerton has
always been nted for its good horse

Change In Plans For The Fair.
The plans for the Fair on December
12th have been modified somewhat.
Instead of expecting each teacher in
the county to have a booth, we have
decided to allow two or three teachers
from the same school to unite, there
by making a more creditable displav,
hut we must know by Nov. 22 how
many booths widl be required We
expect to have these in the Clark To
bacco Warehouse.
On the morning of Dec. 12 the pa
rade will start at the school house,
march up the street.; form a square
around t.he court house. While stand
iog there we wish to have the follow
ingr vell, which the teachers will
please see that. their pupils learn:
Girls: What's the matter with
Clarendon?
Boys: She's all right!
Girls: Who's all right?
Boys: Clarendon! Clarendon! Clar
endon!
All: Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah!
Clarendon! ('larendon! Clarendon!
After this we will march to the
Warehouse, where v-e will have a
short prayer and the children will
sing "America" before disbanding.
The Be-tor Babies Contest will be
Oi promptly at. 10 o'clock in the
school building. The .Manning babies
will be examined first, thereby giving
the out of town babies time to get.
here Those who wish to enter babies
will olease write or phone Mrs. E. S.
Ervin. She can be reached at. her
home each morning between nine and
t.wo o'eloc-k
Dr. Dieksor, president of the Medi
cal Association of the county. will al
low me to attend thei- next meeting.
I will have the instructions sent out
by the Woman's Home Companion as
to the conduct of the Better Bahies
contest and will do my best to ex
plain them. A trained nurse and a
real live baby will also be on band
and we will go through the examina
tion so that there Pan be no possible
hitch on the arooint.ed dav

Wilson's.
The progre-ssve citizens of the Wil
Bon school led by E C. Coskrev. took a
otion the pa.'t summer that their
school house did not fully measure i"
vi the requirements of an uu-to-date
communitv, so thev got husv and rais
ed $400 00 towards the building of a
new and commodious school house. By
raising that amount. they obtained
county aid in the sum of $200.00. They
did a good part bf the work them
selves and as a result they have built
one of the handsomest and best equip
ped school buildings in the county.
There was not a piece of timber on the
ground September the first;now the fact
is that the new building has been com
plted.paint.ed bot.h insid.- and out. and
the school has bet-n runnine in the new
building at least one month. Where
is the community that can make -. hft
ter showing than that? This is the
t *,rit that should characterize every
C'mmunity. What they have done.
others can do. Miss Lula May has
been their teacher fcr the past two
years. and has now entered upon her
third year. Their success has been
largely due to the fact of having a
good teacher and sticking to her with
loyalty. "A house divided against it
self cannot stand." If other commun
ities would only emulate those good
people of Wilsons, lay aside their dif
ferences, and all pull together, how
much better off the county would be.

Boys' Corn Exhibits.
The boys' corn exhibits was held in
the court house last Saturday in accord
ance witn the advertised notices pre
viously given out. There were not as
many exhibits as in former entries of
this kind, but the quality of the sam
pies on exhibition showed clearly that
the boys had profited by instructions
received at former contests. Govern
ment Agent L. L. Baker of Bishop
ville, made an interesting talk on corn
seed selecting.
The following had ten ear exhibits:
Willie Holladay, Wilson: Francis Cas
tine. Turbeville: Dick Reese. Alcolu;
Hugh Kelly, Manning: Kirkland Cor

The prize for the best written his
tory of how his crop was grown, was
won by Clarence Dinkins of the Trinity
section. This prize is a gold medal
and is held until some one wrests it
from the wioner by producing a better
written account at some subsequent
contest. The honor of having carried
off this prize for the preceeding two
years belongs to Willie Young of the
Alcolu section. Both these boys are
pupils of the Trinity Rural Graded
school.
The prize for the greatest yield was
also won by Clarence Dinkins, con
sisting of a five dollar pair of shoes,
given b.% J. H Righy, the Young R
liable The yield as reported was 79.8

In the afternoon Prof. James L.
Carberry of Winthrop College and a
representative of the Agricultural De
partment et Washington also, gave a
practical demonstration in fruit can
ming on the court house square. He
lid not have as large an audience as he
hould have had, every house keeper
would have profitably been present, but
those who were present manifested
zreat interest, not only in the actual
manning of the .fruit, but they also
were interested in the lecture of Prof.
Carberry. His talk on sanitary can
oing and the purity of foods -generally
we have no doubt will stimulate more
interest in the canning and preserving
industry.
Miss Edith L. Parrott of Winthrop
College, and also a representative of
he department at Washington, who is
the head of the Girls Tomato Clubs of
he State, and who by her energy has
lone a wonderful work. assembled a
umber of ladies and gentlemen in the
Grand Jury room and for nearly an
hour she spoke very interestingly
about the formation of these tomato
clubs, the good they are accomplishing,
not only in the way of making money
for those who engage in the industry.
bur also for the communities generally.
Miss Parrott related in her interesting
way, instances where girls have be
come independent by devoting their
attention to canning tomatoes, berries.
fruits. vegetables, and everything that
can be raised in a garden, and of in
stances of profits made by poultry rais
ing. The clubs to be organized are
not confined to canning, they can take
into consideration the raising of poul
try, and anything else that can be con
verted into money..
- Every girl in the county should have
been present and heard this lady talk.
bad they been we feel sure the move
ment contemplated to provide for the
irganiization of these clubs in Claren
on would be welcomed with enthusi
ism.
Miss Parrots is a thorough business
woman, she was urged to come to Man
ing by Mr. C. A. McFaddin Claren
on's demonstration agent for the gov
arnment. There are a number of
:ounties clamoring for the services of
ths lady, bus Clarenodon is one of the
frtunates; she succeeded in convinc
ing the legislative delegation that, it
was the part of wisdom* to make pro
ision for financing this propos'ition.
The delegation pres'.or, was the Sena
tor, with Messrs. R. D. White, and
los. H. Burgess and unanimouslythey
consented to have placed in she supply
bill an it-m for $500 to pay the salary
if ome lady to be employed by the
bard of education to organize these
tomato clubs in this county. The us
derstnding being that the county will
pay 8500. tt e federal government $150,
and Winthrop $75, the lady Is to be
employed for nine months in the year,
and she is to divide the county into
districts and so group the schools that
all in the county will be able to par
r.icipate, and get the advantage of
these clubs.
B.ginnng some time in the early
part of next year, whoever she county
board employ, she will go over the
county and organize the clubs, when
they are organized, sbe will then make
frequent visits to them to teach the
best and most profitable way to pre
serve and can foods, and is is to be
hoped that at. the next. State Fair Clar
endon will he able to have a tine ex
hibit of the industry. We believe the
work of last Saturday resulted in gre.at
good for the future welfare of ;,bis
county.
Bright Future For Tobacco.
Lexington. Ky., Nov. 15, 1913.
Editor The Manning Times:
Dear Sir:-Will you allow me space
in your paper to mention a few para
mount facts about tobacco.
I have suent about two weeks on the
different markets in North Carolina
since the South Carolina markets clos
ed. I must say that the prices are bet
ter than I ever saw them before for
all grades of the old belt tobacco. The
bright smile of joy and satisfacti~on of
well done seems to be the slogan for
every grower of the bright, weed.[
have recently interviewed a good
many prominent tobacco men in regard
to she future for prices, etc. Every
one seems to be very optimistic over
the outlook I think the farmers in
the bright belt of eastern North Caro
lina and South Carolina certainly will
realize high prices another year The
crop in she old belt of North Carolina
is hardly a normal one and from what 1
can gether, since getting here, she
Burley crop is she shortest in many
years, caused by a long drought during
growing season. I have leatned from
talking with dilterent people about the
situation that bright tobacco, smuch as
is grown in South Carolina that the
demand is getting greater each year.
I amn told by good authority that Eng
land lacked about 17,000,000 pounds of
having enough to supply a trade in
Chna aloue this year. I have also
learned that a good many of our con
cer's h- r.. in America ditd not get any
thmni likei th, y wanted of this years
crop. The s.peculators that bought
tis yer' bright crop sold it without
n. tr un for Lro.d pri-es and a nice
profit \"e have trhe rinirclimate and
natural conditions for growing brigbt
tobacco. I certainly hope our farmers
will avail themselves of this golden
opportunity and plant more and give it
better attention than in the past.
A word to the new people that may
be contemplating planting tobacco
next year. I will be back in Manning
again this sprina by planting time. I
shall be delighed to help you solve any
problems you may have during growing
season, free of all charge.
A word about preparation of plant
lands, kind of land to grow your plants
on. etc. Pick you out a place that has
medium moisture on the sunny side of
a branch or pond. Try not to burn
land that is inclined to be craw-fishy.
You can burn about 150 square yards
for fonr or five acres of tobacco. more
in proportion to amount of land you
want to ;. ant. Cover this plant -land
with brush, wood and light wood and
burn thoroughly, then dig or plow up,
take out all roots, etc., rake off, lay off
in small land wit.h something that, will
mark the ground. Mix your seed about
one and one-half to two tablespoonfuls
of seed to a pint of clean ashes and sow
over and over until you have sown all.
Put poles around the bed, tack small
strips across from pole to pole, about
four feet apart ar.d then stretch your
plant cloth over. I will have seed for
distribution in Manning at the proper
time. which I will mention through the
local of this paper later on.
Yours to serve.
