The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1895-01-09

LnlS morning ana Sal0 LQal
he had no idea when the Supreme
Court would decide the registration
case, but if this Court did not decide it
on the direct issue that the United
States Court in Washington would do
so. The general expectation here is
that the case will soon be decided, but
that it will be on some immaterlalfe fea-
ture of the law.
To MOVE TO WASHINGTON.
Talking about this case Mr.. Chas \.
Douglass, who took a leading part in
it, will soon move to Washington.
where he will practice law. Mr.,
Douglass is aman ofrecognized ability
and will no doubt do we'll in Wash
ington. Mr. II. n. Obear will go into
partnership with him.
1t appears that the Republican can
didates for Congress intend to give the
Democratic Congressman elect from
this State some trouble. From what
can be heard here it seems as if there
wiis be very much OF an all round con-
test. Mr. McLaurin has already re-
ceived notice of a contest from his dis
trict and if the Republican work keeps
up there will be a contest from every
district except that which Congress
man Talbert has the good luck to rep
resent.
IS THIS THE WORK OF THE PRINTERS!
The Supreme Court seems to be
somewhat down on typewriters. IN
der q recent rule Of the Court all orig
inal papers have either to be printed
or written, on the ground that the pa
per used for typewriting is not sub
stantial and viii not last. The type
writer has been largely usedin getting
up papers for the Courts.
THE COLD SNAP AND SNOW.
There were very few people who
veatured out on the streets today. The
coldwas too severe. The snow still
seems to held It's own and can be seen
on every side about as thick as it was
yesterday. The sun did not make its
appearance during the day. The ther,
mometer did not get as low as it did
yesterday, but it was low enough.
Columbia is having another elegant
snow storm tonight. In places where
the snow had melted the ground is
again covered and the falling snow is
thickening the coat already deposited.
At half-past o'clock the streets, per-
feet sheet Of white, are already desert
ed. Here and there q strolling hack
is seen in search of a passenger and
now and then an officer or some be-
lated wight is to be seen. The snow
fall is rapid and looks as if it will last.
THE DEADLY STATE HOUSE DRAUGHTs.
The task of improving the heating
arrangements Of the State House and
the hall of the House of Representa-
tives should be begun at once. 1t Is a
general rule for one member or at
tacne of the Legislature to be killed
BY cold contracted here during the
session. and the wonder is that it is
not worse. It is suggested that Sur
geon Billings, the ablest expert of the
kind in the country, should be invit-
ed to come here and look into the
matter. Something ought to be done
and very soon at that.
A PROSPEROUS COLUMBIAN.
Gel. George K. Wright, who until
recently lived here, but now the
Southern representative of Chas A.
Baldwin & Co, of New York, is on a
brief visit to his family. He has just
completed a trip through the South,
visiting most of the banks from New
York to New Orleans with the view of
securing their New York accounts
and handling their foreign exchange.
He has been more than successful.
The firm of Baldwin & Co have made
a wise selection in scouting one so ca
pable and well known in this and 9th
er sections Of the South.-News and
Courier.
