SERIOUS FIRE IN MANNING.
Stores Of W. E. lenkinson and Manning
Grocery Co., Destroyed.

A telephone message from Manning
on last Wednesday gave the news Of
the most destructive fire that has oc-
Cured in that town in several years. :
The large store building occupied by
". 3. Jenkinson and practically all Of
the large stock Of goods it contained,
and the store building and stock of
the Manning Grocery Co., were de-
stroyed.
The FIRE originated in the old part of
the Jenkinson store under a sky light
and when the fire was discovered
about O'Clock that morning large
part OF the interior of the building
was burning fercely. Every effort
possible Was made to save portion
Of the stock of goods, but it was impos-
sible to save much. The fire spread
from the Jenkinson store to that of the
Manning Grocery Co., and this build
was soon destroyed also. The loss was
quite large, about S 20, 900; the amount
of insurance is stated at $50, 600.

THE TELEPHONE LITIGATION.

A hearing in the case of Peter E.
Blow VS.. The Telephone Manufacture
ling Co., application for the appoint.
ment Of a receiver for the said corpor.
alton, was held before Judge R. o.
Purdy at Chambers on Saturday. Mr..
Blow was REPRESENTED by John J. Nc
Mahan of Lyles 6 McMaban, and
Hayneswortb & Haynesworth, and Lee
& Noise represented Nh. G. T. Mason.
Judge Purdy has not fled his decis-
ion, but it is stated on excellent au-
thority that temporary receiver will
be appointed to take charge Of the
affairs of the company. The name OF
the temporary receiver has not been
made public and so far as can be as
certained no selection has yet been
made.
The course that the litigation is
now taking seems to indicate that the
business Of the Telephone Mfg. Co.
will be wound up by a receiver, and
that the factory may be closed as re-
suit Of the contention among the
stockholders. It is to be regretted that
this condition of affairs exist, for prior
to the beginning of the disagreement
among the stockholders the company
was one of the most successfuul enter
prises in the south, and had a large
and rapidly growing business.

tives in Congress when bill is in
troduced carrying an appropriation
for the erection of the building. There
is good deal to be done and it is to
be hoped that the committee Will re-
ceiye the proper assistance from all
public spirited citizens.

building good streets in spite of un-
