THE MANNINGIly! I., I. APPELT------ -----i---------.------------ .---.------ ......E ditor F. M. SHOPE------------------------------------Business Manager PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1917. Keep your eye peeled for the price-boosting hog. He isn't dead, but sleepeth. Quit wondering where the war will end, and decide when YOU are going to help start it. Looking for a safe bank for your war-price savings, neighbor? What's the matter with Uncle Sam's gregt Liberty Bank? Kaiser Bill may have gone to Constantinople to give the the Turks a course in "kultur," with a few lessons in frightfulness as incidentals. Tha bunch of Congressmen who propose to visit the battle front in Frahce should be careful. The fireworks over there are entirely different from those they are used to in Washington. An exchange wants to know "why it takes a woman so long to put on the little she wears to evening functions." Why, she has to be very particular as to location. . A mistake would be embarrassing. The Germans profess to regard the American army as a 'negligible force." If they will continue to act on that theory after Pershing and his. Sammies get into action they will greatly hasten the end. It is a historical truth that no industry is destroyed without pulling down some other in its fall. The District of Columbia goes "dry" and now watch the withering of those choice congressional mint beds. The effort to add a yellow stripe to the'national flag is meeting with a mighty cool reception. It can't be made to harmonize with the present colors. Fact is, yellow isn't in the American col.pr scheme. Three-cent postage is all right, and we will pay it with a grin if it will hell) win the war. Still we can't hell) think ing, there should be some way to extract a few dollars from the tons of matter carried out of Washington under the franking system. NEW GOODS JUST ARRIVED FKOM NEW YORK.

Harvin Motor Co., Manning. .0o- -- "PALS FIRST" "Pals First" which comes to the Sumter Opera House Wednesday, November 14 has already been hail ed as a comedy t'riumph. It is from the prolific mind of Francis Perry Elliott that "Pals First" emanated, and it hais been prepared for the stage by Lee Wilson Dodd, also the author of "Bunker Bean." Its New York run of 200 performances andl Chicago run of 135 lperformances proved it to be chock full of good wholesome fun, with scarcely a line or situation that does not bring forth a hearty laugh, not to mentionth inward chuckles. 'ro the theatregoer who reveals in tears, sobs and heart throbs, "Pals First" promises little, but to the average auditor, who finds sufficiency of the satdder things of life, in life itself, ."Pals First" will prove a wvel come andl otherwise dlelightful oasis in the dlesert of depressing nmelo-. dIrama and light headed musical co .iedy. Mr. Tim Murphy pre-eminent fav orite in the theatre, will be seen in the leading part of "Pals First," and he will be assisted by a fitting coterie of players in unfolding the story of the play, a story which is purely and simply, .comedy of the highest and best ordler. 0--- - Services at the Methodist Church.
