Editor The Manning Times:-.[ woul( ike to state to the people of Clarendot ount~y that I am stii1 in the 'Onitec States Farm Demonstration work, hay ig received instructions from Dr. B3rad ford Knapp. (special agent in charge, o resume work. I hope to make thi he best year in my territory for boti he corn club members and the regular emonstrators. Now we are to have a county schoo fair sometime in the coming winter al hich the corn club members will ex ibit their corn, records and histories, nd the other scholars will exhibit sam. :les of their handiwork. There will b4 long list of prizes offered and greal ains should be taken to make this fair success. As to our ability to get up a credit ble exhibit, I will say that we have he material and all that is needed ih he effort. To substantiate this state ent I will tell you what was done by he public in my territory, (the Eastert atf of Clarendon couinty,) the past year. At the South Atlantic Corn Exposi tion held in Columbia, S. C., December Lt to 16th. 1011, there were four prize: ffered for exhibits from the 1st Cong. Dist. oi S. C.. of these we won thre( eaving one, (third) prize which was on by Charleston county. and one o1 ur boys won the prize'over the 1si Dist., for the best history of how hit orn was made. Now if one half of the ounty can lead the 1st District like hat why can't we make a creditable ex ibit at a countyv fair? Let's all come together and take hold f this school fair proposition and make t a success. All of you boys and girls ask your teacher about it, your teacheri will iustruct you and aid you in getting p your exhibit properly. If we wIll gc head with this work we will he in line to cornpete more advantageously with thers for the larger or more valuable rizes which will be offered at the na tional corn exposition in Columbia, S. C.. January 27th to February 9th, 1913. And now fellow citizens of Clarendon ounty if after all that has been done iin the past we sit still and see our county nd state fail at this national corn ex osition next January it will be the reatest drawback we could have and t will be hard for us to ever recaim our resent record in the agricultural line. Yours for effort and success, R. D. WHITE, Collaborator, Alcolu, S. C. Colored Teachers' Association. The next regular meeting of the col red teachers' association of Clarendon will convene in the build ing of the Man ning colored school tbe first Saturday it arh. The following program will be carried out: An address by Prof. N. J. rederick. Superintendent of the negro eartment of the Columbia city schools. opics oi free discussion; reading and school management. The Women Club f the Manning school district will serve dinner for those attending the session. Each teacher is asked to bring his !ass register in order that some special nstructions in keeping registers ant aking up reports may he given. These meetings are of greatt value to be teachers and it is hoped that a larite number will attend. The district trustees would helo, make these meet ngs a success if they would make it operative that the negro teachers at tend their associations and summer schools whenever practicable. The speaker, Prof Frederick, is one f the.most distinguished negro school rasters in the State, is :a graduate o: of the University of W.aconsin and for 12 years has handled the Columbia wvork with marked success. r .

Here it is: "JONES PRIVATE ARGYMENT." That air same JTones, which lived in Jones, He had this pint about him; He'd swear with a hlundred sighs and groans, That farmers must stop grettin' loans. And get along without 'em. That bank ers, warehousemen, and sich Was fatt'nin' on the planter, And Tennessy was rotten-rich A-raisin' meat and corn all which Draws money to Atlanta. And the only thing (says Jones) to do Is eat no meat that's boughten; But tear up every I. O. U. And plant all corn and swear for true To quit a-raisin cotton! Thus spouted Jones (whar folks could hear -At Court and other gatherin's.) And thus kep' spoutin' many a year, Proclaimin' loudly far and near Sich fiddlesticks and blatherin's. Rut one all-fired sweatin' day, IIt happened I was hoein' Mly lower corn field, which it lay 'Longside the road that runs my way Whar I can see what's goin.' And a'ter twelve o'clock had come I felt a kinder faggin', And laid myself un'neath a plum To let my dinner settle sum, When 'long comes Jones's waggin. And Jones was settin' in it, so; A-readin' of a paper. His mules was gomn' powerful slow, Fr he had tied the lines onto The staple of the scraper. The mules they stopped about a rod From me, and went to feed in'. Lngside the road upon the sod, But Jones (which he had tuck a nod) Not knowin' kept a-readin'. And presently, says he, "Hit's true; That Clisby's head is level. Thar's one thing farmers all must do. To keep themselves from goin' tew Bankruptcy and they devil! "More corn! more corn: must plant less ground, And mustn't eat what's boughten! Next year they'll do it; reasonin's sound, (And ~cotton will fetch 'bout a dollar a pound.) Tharfore. I'll plant all cotton!" Two Clerical Frauds. Two strange young men, evidently foreigners, were in Manning recently soliciting funds for the alleged support Iof an orphanage in Armenia. They wore clerical garb and han numerous testi monials endorsing them and the noble work in which they were engaged, but the probability is that they were serv ing the devil in the garb of religion. While tr.lking with Rev. H. K. Wil liams. pastor of the Manning Baptist church, they became very much con fused when somewhat closely quizzed. They claimed to be Baptists. but when it was noted that their credentials were signed by a bishop, they explained that all denominations in their country had bishops, and under further questioning they went so far as to say that their Ichurch practiced infant baptism. At other times, when interrogations ap pearea too searching, the stranger's would pretend not to understand. There can be little doubt that these men are frauds, and they are probably doing a *thrifty business mn their swindling cam p~aia. Something should be done to overhaul them and put a stop to their imoiin on the carit of good peo lESS within 30 di if you are 10< >get your shi VMOI ~t a few price ale: ............. 7tc MIe ... .. ... .. .. .. 4tc 500 ............ .....

Following the interesting article or the subject of staple cotton furnished by Mr. D. R. Coker, which -we copied from the Hartsville Messenger, we take pleasure in reproducing the following equally interesting article from the columns of the Columbia State: Tbe first long staple cotton market in South Carolina is soon to be opened in Columbia by J. Sumter Moore, wh~o has been in the cotton business in this State for a score of years. He was for a num ber of years connected with the Parker Cotton mills of this city and recently re signed his position. He will open in an office in the Palmetto Bank building on Main street and will actively enter the field to purchase long staple cotton andI furnish the farmers of the State with high class cotton seed at a reasonable price. He believes that there is a great fu ture to the long staple cotton industry in South Carolina. Last year there were produced in the State about 10,000 bales of long staple cotton which was sold for from 14 to'21 cents a pound. The pro duction this year is expected to be doubled. "The situation has about reached the stage," said Mr. Moore. when a market is needed for the long staple cotton. I will deal with the local mills, the East ern mills and with the dealers in Eu rope. I will be in a position to handle just as many bales as are produced by the farmers of the State and will give the best price possible." The production of long staple cotton in South Carolina is being gradually de veloped. David Rl. Coker of Hartsville, is among the pioneers in South Carolina in the development of the industry. It is expected that a cotton exposition will be held in Columbia during the fall in Ithe interes.t of the long staple cotton movement. Husbands Left at Home. On last Wednesday afternoon The Priscilla Club was delightfully enter tained by Mrs. J. D. Gerald. The ladies were received by the hostess, and were shown into the library, which was a bower of hearts. After embroidering for a while. "All work and no play," was voted out of order and tiny heart cards were given to each to compose original valentine verses. Much fun was derived from this, as d&ch tried to prove that she had not yet forgotten school days of yore. Then a hunt for hearts was begun, and as Mrs. T. M. Wells was the lucky finder of the great est number of hearts, she was presented with a lovely "Book of Sweethearts." Mrs. J1. 13. Cantey assisted the hastes in serving a dainty sweet course, fol lowed by coffee and cheese straws.

As the State Teachers' Association has been postponed until April 25th, it will not be necessary to send in the local School [mprovement reports un til about the middle of March. This will give us another month in which to work so I hope by that time we will all be able to send in good reports. ICATHIERINE M. RICHARDSON. Pres. Clareudon Co., S. I. A.
