Jenkinson's Opening.4
Manning had two great days on last
Wednesday and Thursday, and espec-1
ially was this the case with the lady
fol. Women as a rule are by nature
bargain hunters, and when some en-1
terprising merchant advertises that hei
has bargains to offer the women go into
ecstacies over the announcment and arei
restless until the day arrives when they
might go, see and purchase. A shrewd
merchant like W. E. Jenkinson under
stands this peculiarity of women and he
makes it his business to cater in that
direction. His large dry goods and
millinery departments were carefully
put in holiday attire for his "opening,"
and through the columns of THE TiMES
the glad tidings went - forth which
brought to Jenkinson's stor'e a large
crowd of ladies from all sections of the
county.
The thoughtfulness of Mr. Jenkinson
in serving lunch was highly commended
by those ladies who traveled many
nmiles to be at this opening, and the
music which enlivened the occasion
added much to the spirit of the day.
The store was decorated very tastefully,
and the display of dress goods and
trimmings were very attraetive. All
manner and conditions of people were
to be seen in that establishment. The
bride-to-be selecting a trousseau, the
intended mother-in-law purchasing bed
linen and other household necessities,
the groom-to-be wading through the
clothing department, fitting himself out
for the happy day, the mother with her
hands deep down into a pile of laces
and embroderies selecting for the little
ones, the wife having measured off the
material for a beautiful dress to make
her "hubby" at home in jean breeches,
swell with pride, and th~e young lady
getting samples and smilig at the
salesman. The millinery feature of
Jenkinson's vast emporium, presidad
over by Miss Coppedge was a magmifi
cient arrangement of head gearing of
the very latest designs and no one is
p)rouder of this branch of the business
than Miss Coppedge herself, and she
has a right to be. because the very
tasty manner in which her pattern
hats were arranged, the attractive dis
play of the flowers, feathers. ornaments
and other trimmings were certainly a
great feature of Jenkinson's spring
Important to Teachers.
County Superintendent Wells has re
ceived a letter from the Sta:e Superm
tendent of Education urging him to as
ertain the number of teachers who- will r
pledge themselves to attend a county
summer school. He complains of the
mall number of teachers that atteuded
in this county last year. and says "he
ore determining to omit your e-nmt,
F shall ask you to do all you can to se
!ure pledges of attendance." Tis
ibsolutely necessary on account of the
reduced funds at the State Superimtn
lant's disposal. Mr. McMahau goes on
n his letter with the following reasons
why teachers who are drawing money
roin the public treasury for teaching
;hould attend these summer schools:
"The Summer Schools are of more
mportance this year than ever before,
-eeause of the newly adopted text books r=
which the teachers will be called upon
:o teach when the schools open again.
[nstruction will he given with special
'eference to certain of these books
which in their up-to-datei met h-:d may
)resent some ditliculties to some teach
nrs. I have succeeded in obtaining T
rom the publisher:; a special conces
ion by which the teachers who attend
:he Summer Schools can provide them
;elves with desk copies of these books
or less than half the wholesale price
o dealers. It is a deplorable fact that
large number of teachers do not own
and have never studied the books which co
;hey go through the form of teaching de
rhev "hear" lessors which they have
20t prepared or given any thought to.
[et the best teachers feel that they
nust give hours of daily study to the
reparation of even the most elemen
ary lessons which they are to teach
.vell.

Public Meeting.
The ('onimissioners of this county for
he ('harleston exposition met in Man
ting last Wednesday and arranged for
.)public meeting to take place in Man
tinr Saturday tii h, inst.. at which Gen.
W. Mloise will deliver an address.
Ve regret the notice is so short, for we
cel that if the people of this county
ould but hear General Moise on the
natter of the exposition, the advantage
o be derived from such an institution
hey would take an active interest in it
.nd would compete with each other in
setting together material for Claren
on's exhibit.
We hope that notwithstanding this
hort notice that there will be a large
.ttendance in the court house on next
saturday. General Moise's speech willI
how the advantages of the expositoa
o the county and the State at large,
nd especially the advantage to be de
ived from advertising the products of
he town and county. At this meeting
re hope our bisiness men will spare
he time to attend and from that time
n. everybody will go to work to see
hat the products of the farm, forest,
vamp, manufacturing industries, and
ther institutions are brought forward.
That we have every confidence in the
roject being of great value to all
lasses of our people, and to encourage
he spirit of pushing the concern along.
re have decided to offer a prize on our
wn account, and have selected the
rood's of Clarendon county. THE
IANNING TImES offers a prize of 510.
a gold for the best displa of wood
aken from ot.r forests and swamps.
'his offer stands good until the judges
t the exposition render their decision,
nd who ever they say has the finest
isplay of natural wood taken from the
wamps and forests of Clarendon wi.ll
eceive the prize.
We are satisfied that an exhibition of
he wood's of this county will not orly
ake a fine show, but it will result in
eing profitable; it will have the effect
f inducing people here who will invest
a our swamp lands, which are not util
ted now, and therefore might be term
d waste lands, but when wood workers
-et into them they will become valua
,le and in demand. Everybody turn
ut to the meeting next Saturday.

Till, the Hustler.
Those who went to the New York
acket Store to witness Till's opening
tst Wednesday and Thursday could
ot help but be impressed with the en
erprising spirit of the proprietor. The
tore was lavishly ornamented with a
ecoration made up of beautifully ar
anged dress goods, with trimmings,
mbroideries and laces of the latest
esigns, white goods, and ribbons, nov
ties placed here and there to attract,
ad his shoe department came in for a
ill share of attractiveness. The store
as crowded with purchasers and sight
eers from morning until night, and
-om the way the packages came out
'as convincing proof of the efficacy of
idicial advertising when a merchant
lands squarely up to his advertisments.
'ill sold piles of goods over his coun
rs on his two opening days and he
istly merits the large trade built up
v him. His store, on the occasion we
eak of had the appearance of one of
ae oriental bazaars we see at exposi
ons, where artists are employed to
rrange the goods and wares in the
iost attractive manner to induce sales.
On the upper tier in this establish
ient presides over the millinery Miss
ertha Robinson, who has by her de
btful manners made many friends
nong the ladies, and others who visit
'ill's store. This lady had on exhibi
on a grand display of exquisitely trim
ed hats, of the most fetching designs,
ad her work was highly praised by all
'ho saw it. Till's millinery depart
lent was a bower of iovliness, from the
illiner down to the most minute arti
le of head ornamentation, and besides
a this department was a display of ar
istic taste in the decorations which
an be attribuited to Miss Robinson's
