Cothran and Moore the proprietors o
the Central Warebouse. These tw<
young men are going after the bust

them do it.
We direct attention to the advertise
ment of the McCollum Brothers in thi
issue. This concern has been doin:
business with the people of Clarendol
and tbe surrounding counties for years
and they have grown from a small be
ginning until they are looked upon a
standing with the bighest. Whbat don
it? The square deal.

that he shnnld hold dear to him.
The warehousemen of this town are
0 certainly hustling for the tobacco btsi

little expense are getting it. Go to
these houses any day and you will find
farmers from sections that have tried

with the warehouses in Manning.
Bring your tobacco to The Times ad

Affidavits are almost as worthless
y these days as are the words and charg
es of many men. It is said that an.
body will sign a petition, and it may al
so he said that affidavits are about as
. asily procured especially in matters
affecting partizan politics. Therefore
it is well to give very little credence to
the atdidavit-maker, or - the affidarit
producer.
The Times editor was especially fav
ored-the past week. Mr. J. L. John
son of Davis Station, brought him some

The Times of last week underestima
ted the amount of tobacco placed on
the filoors of the warehouses in Man
ning last Wednesday the opening day.
It made its estimate in the early part
of the day when it thought the bulk of
the tobacco had arrived, but subse
quently about as muc4 came in. It
was the biggest "break" ever pulleg
off in Manning, and the books of the
warehouses show the act,.:al weigu. to
have been 97.000 pounds. The prices
were satikfactory.

Olanta Enjoyed Big Day.
Saturday witnessed the largest gath
ering in this town that has been seen
here for a many year, the occasion be
ing what is locally called "the old sol
diers' picnic." It is estimated that be
tween seven and eight thousand peo
ple were here. The day was a scorch
ing hot one, but is seemed only to fire
the enthusiasm of the crowd. Every
one appeared happy and contented and
in good humor and no unpleasantness
marred the day. -The town authorities;
took the wise precaution of closing
"the power-house," as the dispensary
is termed, and not a single case of
drunkenness was noted, and the extra
force of palicemen put on for the day
found business dull.
- The Hon. J W. Rtagsdale delivered
the address to the Veteraus, and
charmed his hearers with his glowing
tribute to the "Lost Cause."
Many counties were represented and
the -'ever present" politician was here
seeking the hand (and vote) of the
-"dear people."
The Alcolu Railroad is to put oc an
other train in August. This wvili be a
reat help to Olanta in many way s. It
will enable one to get in and out the
-same day, and it is hoped that the au
horiies wviil see that the mail will
come that way, too.
Tobacco is coming in every day, and
prices are good. T'he farmers is well
pleased at being able to find so excel

A Bri:liant Function
"lro the nuptial bower
I led her blushing like the morn: all
Heaven
And happy constellations on the hour
Shed their selectest intluence: the earth
Gave sign of gratulation:and each hill:
Joyous the birds; fresh gales and gen

Whispered it to the woods, and from

Flung rose. flung odors from the spicy

The marriage of Ensign James
Thomas 'lathews and Isabel Uradham
last Wednesday eveninir in the Presby
terian Church in Manning was one of
the most brilliant in the history of this
town. The splendid edifice was tilled
with admiring frieuds, the decorations
were tnost. ;astily arranged, and the
occasion a great social evect. The
church was decorated with ferns and
with the flags of the nation; the flours
were carpeted ,with red, white, and
blue buntirn: the picture was indeed
bristling with American ardor. We
have no besitencv in saying the cere
mony was the prettiest we ever saw.
and those who had charge of the ar
rangements must feel proud of their
efforts.
The ushers Messrs. J. W. Wideman
and H. H. Bradham long before the
arrival of the bridal party were kept
busy set.ting the large congregation,
and to get everybody comfortably seat
ed they at times were put to it, never
theless by the time the party appeared,
the congregated relatives and friends,
were ready to receive them. The gen
lemen of-the party were, in the full
dress uniform of the United States
navy, and each and all of them were
soldiery in their bearing.
The groom was attended by the fol
lowing comrades: Ensigns Lee. Quar
les, Warrell. and Panno yer, all of the
United States Battleship New Hamv
shire, their beautiful uniforms with
their chevrons and epaulettes of gold,
and their swords swinging at their
sides was greatly admired, and which
added much to the brilliancy of the oc
casion.
Miss Myrtle McDonald of Ludowich
Ga., accompanied by Miss Mary Purdy
of Sumter, were the first of the p rty
to enter and this was accep:,ed as a sig
al that the bride was coming: to the
accompanimeut of Miss McDonald on
the piano, Miss Purdy with full thro:at
ed melody sang "Becaus"." as the
sweet words enshrined in song, like an
echo was fading away. Miss McDonald
truck up the wedding 'iareb, ' its in
piring notes the party marched into
the church-the ladies from the Sun
day School room in the rear, and the
Zentlemen from the vestibule in the
front.

he ceremony was being conducted,
M1iss Purdy sweetly and softly render
ed with appropriate effect"Oh Promise

ice in accordance with the elaborate

ring, bis voice was heard in every part
>f the edifice as every ear was attuned
o catch the solemn words and the re
sponses from the happy pair, becaase,
"Thus in the Etst they are extreme
ly strict,
And wedlock and a- padlock mean
the same."
But as the story of this happy event
s better told by Miss Tood in The
Xews and Courier, than it can be por
rayed by the writer .we take the
iberty of reproducing it here.
Decidedly unique and withal one of
the prettiest marriage ceremonies ever
v'itnessed in Manning took place Wed

A Splendid Demonstration of Affection.
The admirers of lev. D F. McLer
don the noted Evangelist, who cor
ducted so successfully a series of meet
ings in this town and at Pinewood
paid him a visit last Sunday mornin
at Oats in Darlington countj, wher
Mr. McLendon is now euaged in hi
work of saving souls, and holding th
lght to the feet, of the unwary tha
f thter might guide their steps aright
and become shining examples of eleai
living.
Oats is a spot in ''God's country," i
i- situated within siht of old Lydia
onthe oneside, and the *Old Gull.
Church" on the other, it is nestled i.
the center of a magnilicient, section o
farming country, a-I it., and the sur
rounding sectton is . '>pled with "thi
salt of the earth." Tnese people aro
strangers to none. 'hei- homes are al
ways open to honest people-go wher
you wi:I for miles in that portion c
Darlington county, it i, the same way
the latcl-stringS of Ohe homes hang! o,
the outside, with uae imaginary in
scription "oull. and it shall be opene<
unto thee, enter, and what ye seel
shall ye find, the lamb and the childret
shall t3 placed on the sacrificial alta1
for those who partake of our hospitalit
and none shall go away discontented or
weary." The writer knows tAis people
that is to say, he knew the ancestors o
most of them, and did their offspring
no:, continue the custom of the fore,
fathers, it would indeed be regarded
sacrilege by the remaining of the oldex
ones, it would make their wrinkled
faces burn with shame; but they need
have no concern along this line, like
father like son, the traditions of the
fathers are revered by the younger
generation. It was the good fortune
of the writer to spend one year of the
happiest days of his younger life
among those people. and, he verily
believes that in this association there
was inculcated in him many of the
principles and sentiments which today
abide with them, and which they hold
to and cherish. It was therefore, of
especial interest to him that he went
with the party to manifest the regard
of this county for that wonderful man
who has consecrated his life for the
uolift of his fellowman.
The party left Manning in six auto.
mobiles at an early hour, six o'clock,
and toured through Clarendon, Sumter
Lee and Darlington counties, arriving
at Oats about 10:30 in time fdr the
moruing service. We were received
with open arms by Mr. McLendon, his
appreciation of this splendid demon
stration touched him deeply, and it
was appreciated by the large assem
b'age who were present to worship.
Rev. "Reub:n" Humphreys the pastor
expressed the feeling of his people for
this visit, and it seernzd to ui that even
the little children realized the wean
ing of twenty nine men travelling over
sixty miles to hear a man preach; as
one little girl expressed it to the
writer "You all must like Mr. Mac.'
That little girl struck the key note,
and'in those few words interpreted
the real meaning of itwenty seven :cLa
from Manning, and one lady aud gen
leman from Pinewood travellin
through hot sun and clouds of dust for
sixty miles to attend a religious service.
Yes, we "like Mr. Mac." Why?
Because, he came amongst us with his
soul burning with the fervor of his
earnestness. He came to bring a mes
sage of love. He came as few men can
come, to speak plain and without leav
ing scars of irritit-on. He unsheathed
his sword and proceeded to strike with
out respect to individuals. He smote
where the smotitng'was needed; where
men were shackled with pride or ig
norance, he released then from their
fetters and set them free. He is a MAN,
and that is why he won the hearts of
this people, and if God spares his life
he will win the hearts of many thous
ands more
We attended two services at the tent,
and at each there was a large congre
gation, to each, he preached powerful
semons. His descriptive powers are
inexhaustable, his comparison% are
a onderful, and his vocabulary of
phrases, some of them seemingly un
conventional leave these sound ringing
in the ear for time to come. One of
the features of the mor-ning meeting.
was up:>n the arrival of the visitors,his
feeling remarks, and his requiring
them to stand up that his people may
see the people who tbus honored him.
He preache:d a magnificient sermon, it
was tear fetching and heart consoling
it was as impressive a sermon as we
have ever listened at, and was worth
the trip to hear.
When this service was over, then it
was the visiso's became the vict ims of
a ush, everybody wanted us to go to
dinier with them, whic~h of course was
impossible; so we agreed to bU- divided
up in parts, and thus let as many of tbe
party be the recipients of the hospital
itv of these kind people as possible.
Te writer with Messrs. R. H. Davis,
F. L. Wolf, T. H. Timmons went to
the home of .i r. Henry Josey and there
we enjoyed his hospitality such as only
the descendant of the old stock could dia
pense as his foirebears would have done.
At this home we met an aged friend
whom we knew in the years gzone by,
she no longet is that vivacious and
sprightly soul who was the life of the
community 38 years ago, but sihe is
bent with aae and her bait- is crowned
with the frosts of 75 winters, when she
took our band and told uis she rememn
bered when we used to visit her home,
together with the boys and girns of the
community, we almost felt like embrac
ing the geod old soul, as a token of our
appreciation of the days she alluded to,
and the remarkable memory she dts
played. She now lives with her daugh
ter Mrs. Henry Josey and enjoys their
loving kindness, and the romping uf
her grand, and gr-eat-grandchild-en.
May her days continue to be blessed
and long, and her mind be as clear as
when we saw her Sunday. All of our
party enjoyed every moment of our
stay in tnis nome,-it was really home.
'1be after-noon service was also large
l attended, and the peopyle heard an
other splendid deliverance. Tney
heard the scripture defined in language
that he who runs may i-ead. There
were two features to this meeting both
of which were unexpected. One was,
M. McLeardon anirunced that persons
in the atudience repeat a verse of scrip
tnt-e and lhe would tell them where
they can tind it in the bible. The con
gregation for several minutes fired _at
him the verses, and without hesitation
he would give them the chapter and
verse, and sometimes a person would
get his ver-se a little mixed and the
reacher would repeat it for him or
oe. always following with where the
paiicular verse can be found.
Then he aunounced that, for- the bene
it of the visitors, lie had asked the col
ored people~ to sing, and their were in
that congregation a large numnbet- o
negroes, their singing was beautiful,
such ful sweet voic-s, such time and
such r-hymth is se:domn heard. These
voces seemed to add an additional fer
vor to the words, and as the swayin~a
rhinth went thtroug h that congrega
tion ever-ybody moved in unison with
it.. No wonder "niggers shout-"
CThe people wanted us to stay ove:
for the night service, and pr-otnised un
more sur-prises in the way of singing
but the distance was great and wye al
ha- to tget back home, so amid the ur
ent invitations to return we hoarde(
our cat-s and wended out- way to Harts
vile. Most of us had never heen thera
befoe, it is a very pretty town, wido

CLAR
Through th kindness of Messrs. Cly
burn and Wiggins ithe doors of this
store were opened to us for our inspec
tion, and it was really marvelous to see
how well organized and well kept this
establishment' is. The -a a n y
departments. are kept as neat as a pin,
and even the beef market is a delibt
to enter. We had beard of the Coker
store, but we confess it was a revela
tion to us. After taking in this beauti
ful town to the extent of our limited time
we headed our way homeward and ar
rived back in Manning at 1:30 a. m.
Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Broughton of Pine
wood. arrived at Oats ahead of the Man
ning party and remained over. The
following was the party:
Car No. I-J. D. Gerald, Jos. L.
Wells, H. C. McKelvey, C. N. Sprott,
Harry Gerald.
No. 2-W. G. King, W. G. King, Jr.,
S. C. Williams, Bates Gerald, W. A.
Dyson.
No. 3-R. R Jenkinson, B. W. Hol
laday, Joel Ridgeway, T. M. Wells.
No. 4-R. E. Harlee, Leon Galloway.
J. W. Patrick, C. W. Wells.
No. 5-F. L. Wolfe, R. H. Davis,
T. H. Timmons, Louis Appelt.
No. 6-J. E. Davis. Jr., John White,
T. M. Davis, A. G. Heriot, Willie
Cuttino.
The party breakfasted about 10
miles beyond Sumter in picnic style,
and it was a breakfast fit for the gods.
On returning we lunched at Bishop
ville. Tne trip will long be remem
bered by every member of the party.
It Was Hot Staff.
The mock campaign meeting which
took place last Thursday evening in
the school house for the benefit of the
Civic League was quite a success, and
those who participated in it surely aid
give a good imitation of the modern
campaign meetings. Many of the
"skits" would have fitted the stunts of
the famous Gridiron Club that has its
banquets in Washington, where ridi
cule is permitted to run amuck, and
those who are the victims of its shafts
must "grin and bear it," or in tbe
languageof another, "they cant help
it."
On the occasion referred -to there
were some mighty skin-chafing cracks
made, "many'a truth spoken in jest"
was the rule rather than the exception.
and while those who were the objects
of attack took their punishment good
naturedly we have no doubt that some
of them felt like Latimer's goat w ben
stung by a bee as he was jumping the
fence. It was really an evening of fun
for the audience, and some of the
speeches were remarkably surprisingi,
aong the numbers most favorably
commeited on was the speech of Mr.
13 P. Fulton, whose delivery was su
perb, and his humor real .dignified and
oriinal.. All of them aid well, acid
nowithtanding that Capt. W. C. Dav
is' chauffeur was wearing Mr. Wide
man' clothes, and 'Videman could not
deny it., he did splendid for a newly
married man. The presiding offiher
Mr. W. M. Plowden, performed his
arduous duty with great dignity until
the s campaigners trained their' guns
upon him, then he forgor, everything
and awaited the final outcome and its
consequences-"~a guilty c.oncience
was troubled."
Captain Davis' excoriation of his law
arner was that. of the typical stump*
wid-jammer, and he- went it on the
principle, when argument is lacking,
ring in abuse"
What S. Oliver O'Bryan did for the
crew was a plenty, some of his hits
buri d themselvcs deep into the hides;I
of his opponents, and brought forth
appl ause.
Herman Bradham got off some pretty
good jokes, and male an eloquent pre
sentation of nothing which is cr'arac
teristic of the average stump speaker.
Mr. H. I. Ellerbe remin~ded us of the
sour and disappointed candidate who is
facing an antagonistic audience, and he
r~ealizes that his voters are few and far
be twen.
Charlie Wells who gave a history of
his past life, of course leaving out parts
of it, made a fine appeal for votes and
if he keeps it up we have no doubt that
he will some day be a winner.
It is no exaggeration to say that each
and every one of the acto'rs in this
unique performance greatly entertain
ed their hearers, much more so than
the average campaign speakers.
H storical Fact.
Io naming Clarendon's heroes who
so gloriously laid down their live~s on
thc field of bittle that of Maj Harvey
Digle was strangely omitted. None
was so consp1ictlusly heroic as his. It
was at Sharpsburg in a crisis of the
battle when our lines were heavily and
reeatedly assaulted by the enemv that.
Major Dingle commandling the Hamp
ton Legion caught the. flair fa'm the
dying color-baearer and waiving it high
i the air shouted "Legion foltow your.
fig' and ru.-hed fo'rwar. falilig
pierced by many balls. General Gary
who was acting as brigadier general
but in view of the Legiou tduring the
action, said it was the most bioody and
Idesperate ever fought by thatcommanld
and that thc conduet of Major Dmnire
Iboth in deed atnd language surpassed
Ian' act. of de4perate courmage he wit
nesed during the war
I am unwilling that such an act of
Isuperb courage should passed into oh.
livion, but would have it engraved
beneath the photogratph of this here
and placed upon the wall of every
academy in Clarendon. It would teach
a csso~n to the rising generation
gretor and grander than ever taught
b; o~ks.
