When man succeeds in keeping of
competition for space in newspaper by
sharp practice. he cannot expect any quar-
ter from the man he played sharp with. l.
sometimes happens 80 that 4 man thtnkS
by little taffy be causes another t:oal
pushing his indiridul interests, but wien
advantage is taken OF the trick, i reco!' )
upon the trickster We hope this hint Is
sufficient for whom 1t is intended.

know that he is now quartered in his new
store aud that he will do his utmost to get
fair share of the patronage. MIR. LeseSne

an interesting feature Of this paper.
Manning Is sadly in need of tenant
houses. We know of several nice families
who are ..nxioas to rent and they are q
class of people who will pay reat promply
Will not some Of our public spirited citl-
zens help hpild up the town by erecting
comfortable houses to rent? Manning can
not grow and prosper if there Is To be 3
wall around the town to keep people ont.
It strikes US that as an investment it would
be far better to have houses bringing in
monthly rent than to have town lots turned
into orchards, cotton and potato patches or
COW pastures. Lot owners, think Of this:
either build;on your lots or sell them at Il
reasonable price and let somebody else
build.

Competition may come and beStir itself,
but the effect on Moses Levi oaly tends TO
make him push the harder to keep abreast
of it. In this weeks issue he merely
throws out slight hint to his competitors
and then watch out for him hereafter. We
like to see this spilit Of activity on the part
of our merchants it is healthy and it does
good. Without doubt Manning has
stronger com petition within its commercial
interests than ever before and it has put
new life into tie brsiness arteries Of Mr.
Levi. He says. and he speaks with an
esrnestness that means business, that he
will not be u0dersold, and FROM the size of
his stock and the amount of vim he puts
into his business, the people Of Clarendon
and other Counties can expect to reap the
benefit of Moses Lewis energy and his
cash capital to buy goods with.

In our local affairs we had two contest
ants for the senatorial honor and both Of
these gentlemen are to be commended for
the digoifed manner in which they con-
Quoted their campaign. Mr.. Lesesne was
elected and DR.. Woods was defeated, while
the successful candidate is receiving the
congratulations of his supporters. DR..
Woods takes his defeat like man and has
not made the slightest complaint. This is
as it should be; the votes Of the people be-
long to the people and it is for them to cast
them as they see tit. In his instance a
majority selected Mr.. Lesesne. but while
DR.. Woods failed of election nevertheless
he is to be congratulated for the handsome
manifestation of confidence by the people
in his section Of the county who know him
best. When man is so handsomely en-
dorsed by his people as was DIR. l.. NJ.
Woods in the recent election there is fu-
ture for him and it will come.
