THE MANNING TIMES Entered at the Postoffice at Manning as Second-Class Matter. Appelt & Shope, Proprietors. Published Every Wednesday Subscription Rates $2.00 per year in Advance MANNING, S. C., WEDNESDAY, MAY 25, 1921 $25,000,000 FOR WHAT? 0 What are we. going to get out of that $25,000,000 this government is to pay the government of Colombia? By consenting to this payment we tacit ly admit that this government was in a measure instrumental in the secession of Panama. It is within this seceded territory that General Goethals per formed the greatest engineering feat of history by constructing the Panama canal, which we own. Central and South American republics are never quite at ease regarding the United States. There is always a lurking suspicion that we entertain ul terior designs toward them, with the possibility of extending the folds of the American flag to cover the entire continent at some future (lay. But we have no such intentions. We have troubles enough of our own without assuming those of an alien race whose habits, customs and inclinations are not in har mony with our own. Is this government so great that it is willing to admit a mistake of the past and make restitution to the extent of $25,000,000? Or is it a cold blooded effort to purchase that brotherly love that we all know does iot exist? Or what is it ? $25,000,000 is a lot of money. It means much to Colombia. But where do we come in ? Do we simply cough ill and f'rget, or is there a hidden string to the deal ? SEVEN HUNDRED YEARS AND STILL FIGHTING --o Ireland has been fighting intermittently for something like seven hund red years for freedom. It has been a long fight, in the face of every pos sible discouragement and obstruction. The Irish, like our own people of the original thirteen colonies, want the -right to govern themselves. Some day they will have it. Ireland in a con stant. state of turmoil, and with a huge army maintained to keep it in sub jection, (an be of but little value to England. But a free Ireland, with re ciprocal trade relations, might be a profitable neighbor. Certainly a people who have been. "kicking up the dust" for seven hundred years will hardly re main quiescent as lkng as the same blood flows in their veins. England miighi t let g'o her hot poker with distinct advantage to herself. THAT SLACKER LIST -0 Including the names of valiant ex-service men among the list of slackers leads unbiased people to suspect that the persons who kept the records should head that list. The lists sent out by the war department have been found to be so unreliable the press of the~eountry hesitates to publish them until the record of each man has been carefully traced. If the records of the waar de partment an dthe draft boards have been so loosely kept as to be largely un reliable, then the editorial fraternity is quite justified in refusing to publish the names of alleged draft evadors until information can be supplied from a source that is depenldable. It is better to let a hundred guilty men escape than to publicly humiliate one innocent veteran. --00 Governments are like people. If they persist in carrying chips on their shoulders some one is sure to knock them off. _ 00--_ - - General Leonard Wood advises teaching the people of the Philippine Islands obedience to law and order. But if' w,! can't do a better job of' it. there than we do at home we had better stop before we start. ~fflI I'Is.

For Many a Manning Household To have the pains and aches of. a bad back removed-to be entirely free from annoying, dangerous urinary dis orders, is enough to make any kidney sufferer grateful. The following ad vice of one who has suffered will prove helpful to hundreds of Manning readers. Mrs. C. M.;Taylor, S. Boundry St Manning, says: "About a year ago I was troubled with kidney complaint. I had terrible backaches and- head aches bothered me. Ne vous spells ulset me and my nerves were just a wreck. I felt tired and languid and I suffered vith dizzy spells. Finally, I heard about Doan's Kidney Pills and bought some at Arant's Drug Store. I can certainly say Doan's did me a wonderful lot of good and quickly relieved me." Price 60e, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy-get Doan's Kidney* Pills--the same that Mrs. Taylor had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Bucalo, N. Y. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. LaGrand left Thursday of last week for Mt. Giliart, N. C. to visit rdlatives for a few mn1ths. Nirs. M. E. Tennent left Thursday of last week for Maxton, N. C., to visit her dalughter, Mrs. LeRoy Martin for a few weeks. The funeral of Capt. Julius A. Mood took place in the Summerton ceme tary last Thursday afternoon, May 19th. Almost three years have pass ed since he gave his all for the pre servation of -his country. It was in the Allied offensive of July 1918, southwest of Soissons, that he fell. Since that time he has remained in France in the little cemetery near a cross roads to the south of Misy-au Bois. Capt. ilood entered the service of his coutry (luring the Mexican trouble of 1916. He entered as a pri vate antd served in this capacity until he was commissioned in the regular army. ITis first appointment was with the 1st Division and he served through the' war with this organization. At (ie time of his death he was in com mand of Co. D, 26th Infantry, 1st Di visiont as Captain. It was with a sorrowful heart that Ohe community met the remains of it's honored dlead. The Julius A. ilioil Post of the American Legion directed the funeral service. The tri bute paid in numbers present and flowers has never been seen in our little town before. Pall bearers were appointed from associates of his early life. They were: Ernest Walker, Tom togan, llenry Felder, Pred Barnes, Sam Martin, Jack .)ames, Huron God win and Claude Walker; all members of the American Legion. 'Tihe Mann iig and Bishepvnille Posts of the American Legion were represented. The good people of Summerton were specially favored in having Dr. H. N. Snyder, president of Wofford College, to address them at the Summerton Metiodist church in the interest of the Chri1istian Education campaign ntow on in the Methodist Episcopal church South. Dr. Snyder, was as is hlis isual custom, full of zeal and eanistnless in presenting the noble I'Ur'ps; of this movemeit and, am 'in-(e, too, it) onte wl(o heard him, fail (" to catch the true significance and Oll-wide i 0mortance of this great and betelicient mission of raising $33,000, 000 for lihe M ethoilist Colleges and sciools of tite South. le gave his hiarers to understand that he was thoroughI y con versant. with the great financia I ;t rinig'iency all over the South, however, his hearoers could not fail to htave caught the air of his warning of a1n i nevitaible great balitrupt proceed ilgits witich must he surely be institut ell against us, anid that, too, by our owno boys ami( girls, to soy ntothting of the world at large, if we Methodists failed~ to, take suflicienit stock in an eterprt'ilise. witich will mteaun fo~r the peace, hap iiness, yeat, thte salvation of teste1 Uiitetd States and( thte world at lar ge.
