The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1900-02-21

receive, and welcome strangers,
bnt when it is known that Char
Ileston is not in accord with Col
onel Bryan on the money ques-
1ion, and that his contemplated
visited to that city was not
known but a few hours, the re-
ception he received at the depot
on his arrival was more than
marvellous. The train was lit
tie late, and on its arrival it was
with difficulty that the Democ-
racy's leader and those accom-
panying him could get through
the good humored but densely
packed crowd of shouting peo,
| ple. At the Auditorium, a hall
with seating capacity OF nearly
eight thousand was more than
comfortably filled with an audi.
ence notably well dressed, ald
these people went wild on the
appearance of the Nebraskan.
As he entered on the stage
the seven thousand people rose
en- masse and sent up shouts of
greeting which shook the tim
bers in the tremendous building
and it was several minutes before
they could be quieted.
After introductions by Repre-
sentative Bacot and NJ a y r
Smythe, Colonel Bryan address
ed a Charleston audience, giving
them a doctrine that perhaps
sounded strange to them at first,
but before he had gone far it was
evident that the truth was work
ing its way into the hearts of this
grand assemblage and they be-
gan to move and rock like those
who get happy at a revival; then
the shouts of conversion came
thick and fast, until at the end
of nearly every sentence the hal
lelujah signs of approval We're
evident and Charleston is no
more blind, nor will even the ed
itor of the News and Courier
ever again refer to the believers
of free silver as "heretics. !"
Charleston gave "Billv" BRYAN
grand reception, and, to her
credit, we can truthfully say that
it was as sincere as it was great.
The committee that managed the
affair deserve the highest praise
for their indomitable energy and
thoroughness with which they
accomplish their work. Hemp
hill, Wilson, Cappelman Legare
and Simmons, the Bryan commit
tee. deserve resolutions of thanks
from the Democracy of Charles
ton and testimonial from the
city council,
The legislators were entertain
ed twice last week, on Tuesday
night by the Merchants and
Manufacturers club, and on We'd
nesday night by Scatterwood Al
lance. These entertainments
We're very pleasant and appreci-
ated very much by those who at
tended.
All of the measures which Clar-
endon was specially interested
have become laws and G. T. Wor-
sham of Seloc, C. T. Ridgeway
of ForeSton and E. B. Gamble Of
Manning have been appointed
Supervisors of Registration.
Under the new dispensary law
the delegation will have the ap-
pointment of the County Board
of Control, that is to say, they
are to recommend, and accord
ingly the majority of said dele
cation agreed to recommend
Messrs. r. H. Davis, a. Vein
berg and J. W. Ridgill.
DR.. Woods was unexpectedly
called home by the extreme i'll
ness of his son and was not able
to get back before the adjourn
ment.
AS Senator, with two years
more to serve, it is but just and
proper to say that the delegation
from this county worked harmo-
niously together, each with a sin
cere desire to help the other. for
the good of the county, and we
believe the record made will
compare very favorably with
that of our predecessors.
The net result of this years
legislative work is the enactment
of 100 Acts and 20 Joint Resolu-
tions that are now new laws
upon our statute books.
