Pilewood Pickups.

Editor The Manning T!mes:
There has been considerable talk
among some OF our most influential cit
liens of having the townships of Fulton
and Calvary attached 70 Sumter county.
The most potent reasons given and ar
the same time plausible and unaSSaila
bic. are as follows:
First-We are almost alienated from
our county seat on account of its dis
tance and the miserable road through
both townships, absolutely necessary to
travel to reach Manning.
Second-The railroad facility TO. and
other attractions, makes Sumter most
desirable point as a county seat. as
all OF our banking. purchasing OF goods,
etc. are done almost entirely at Sum-
ter.
Can any one say why these two town.
ships, with as much or more taxable
property than any other TWO townships
in the county. should have received so
little attention from the county chain
gang.
We are reliably informed that Sum
ter county will build direct dirt road
from here TO the county seat.

place to the Railroad Commissioners,
asking for better passenger service

concluded to recommend the

to state that Mr.. Galluchat's op-

personal ill-will towards either

Richardson's proposal of the
name of Mr.. Minis: was not be-
cause he had any objections to
the present board, but that Mr..
Minis represented a portion Of
the county that in his judgement
was entitled to representation.
Clarendon is no longer in the
Sixth Congressional district, a
circumstance I regret, because
we have learned to know the
people of the counties composing
that district, but under an Act of
Congress the State had to be re-
districted, and the bill which
passed the House was not at all
satisfactory to me: our delega
tion was equally divided on it.
Messrs Richardson and Gallu-
chat favored Clarendon being

Lexington and Richland, and
DR.. Woods and myself opposed
it. I took the position that we
have no community of interests
with Richland, Lexington and
Orangeburg, and to put rs with
them We would not amount to
