Thursday, Octo Der 9Th, Will be a great
dav for tobacco growers ct the Peoples To-
bacco Warehouse Mr. C. NJ. Mason, the
genial and energetic manager, IS enGeavor-
ing to make Manning what it should be, a
| first class tobacco market. and to DO SO, he
| is constantly seeking inducements Tor the
people. There is one point he has already
made clear and that IS, he is lending his
best efforts to get as high prices as posi-
bic for the patrons Of his floors, and not
only this, he is doing business in a genial,
open manner so that all who do business
with him understand his methods On Oc-
tober 5th there will be prize sale on his
floors and some lively sales may be looked
for. Every tobacco grower should be there.
Parties who contemplate having survey
ing done will take notice that shall de-
vote my entire time 10 it the coming year
and guarantee satisfaction, both as to work
and rates. E. J BROWNE, Surveyor. Il.
If Manning only had one or two cotton
factories cotton would bring from quarter
to half cent more on the pound. Man
ming is giving the highest market prices,
based upon New York and Liverpool quo
tations, received all along during the day,
but in the up-countrv towns where there are
mum erous factories there IS an additional
local demand created by the factories which
makes the staple bring considerably more.
The factories fear higher prices and are
buying considerable supply ahead. But
already there is talk Of factories closing
down until the rise in prices is settled, 50
that there is some risk in holding cotton
after it reaches 64 aud g. cents. 1t IS some
thing that none Of US seem to be able 10 tell
much about.
During the Summer Season cramps
come upoa US suddenly and remain until
the pain is driven away by a dose or two OF
Pam. Killer, the celebrated cure for all sum-
mer complaints from simple cramps to the
most aggravated forms Of cholera morbus
or dysentery. No household should be
without the Pain Killer. Avoid substitutes.
there is but one Pain-Killer, Perry Davis.

No one can deny the fact that Manning
is permanently growing, and is rapidly
becoming one of the most progressive towns
in this part of the State. The Manning Of
ten wears ago is not the Manning Of today. |
Right Low there are four fine two-Story
residences in course of erection besides |
other building in a small way that is always
going CD, and still there is strong de-
msnd for houses to rent Ten years ago
there was not pound of leaf tobacco sold
here and now We find our town one of the
best tobacco markets in the State. Ten
years ago for the cotton market prices We
had to depend upon the daily papers,
which always contained the reports that
were at least day old and it mattered not
whether cotton had gone up or down as
much as half cent pound we were none
the wiser under twenty-four to torty-elght |
hours, while now several Of our merchants |
get two or three reports every day on the
cotton market right from Liverpool. the
great cotton man ufacturing centre of the |
world, and reports right from New York as
the market rises and falls every twenty
minutes Ten years ago it took from two
to three days to get the election returns
from some of the boxes in Salem, while to-
day we ere connected by telephone with |
all parts Of the county, and a splendid ex-
change system among the business houses
in town. We can now talk to Alcolu, New
Zion, st Paul, Silver and Pamela, and lines |
to Foreston and Davis Station are being
built. Commercially speaking our town
is also up-to-date. Dry goods, shoes aad
notions are sold here cheaper than they are
on King street in Charleston or Main street
in Columbia and We are also selling some
heavy groceries in some of our sister towns
like Sumter, Georgetown and Kingstree.
We have not made any blow about it but
we are coming to the front. We ehave three
nice churches, next week our graded school
will open, the healthfulness our town is
we'll known aud the moral atmosphere of
our community will compare most iavora-
bly, with any town its size in South Caro-
lima. Altogether Manning is most desira-
bic place to live and We stand with open
arms and invite all good citizens to come
and live among US.
