The Manning baseball team went to
Sumter last Wednesday and PLAYED a
match game with the Knights OF Pyth-
las team of that city. The game re-
suited in Manning's defeat by score
of 5 to-. This was Manning's first de-
feat this season, but the boys are not
ashamed, and will probably tackle sum
ter again in the near future. The
Sumter Herald in its account of the
game spoke very mplimentary OF the
conduct of the Manning boys as follows:
;sThe game was well played from start
to finish, and perfect good humor pre-
vailed throughout. The visiting team
took their defeat gracefully and made
no kicks They are tine crowd OF
Young men, and mads splendid I'M
preston on all with whom they came
in contact.
The now mooted railroad project from
Conway is certainty, the road Will be
built. and in all probability it will pass
through the northern section OF this
county through the Sardinia belt on Its
wav to Sumter, if this be correct we
cannot see it's benefit to Manning, but
we do see prospect OF taking Valua'
BILE trade section away from US, unless
we arouse ourselves to our own inter
ests. Last year Manning organized
board of trade, but organization was
about all that was accomplished, and Il
NAV be that nothing was done because
it was late in the season to do anything
Now there is work for board OF trade,
it can get actively to work, and make
an effort to induce the projectors OF the
Conway railroad scheme to make a
slight bend in the route and bring thel'
road through Manning. We never
will have anything unless we ask TO.
it, and no one will dispute the fact that
more railroad facilities will help \;
very much. In our Judgment tho
president OF the board OF trade should
call a meeting of the business men
merchants especially, with a view o
taking steps towards getting into com
munication with the Conway railroad
officials. and if necessary appoint
man who is corversant with the topog
raphy of the county to go IN person
and have conference with these en-
terprising spirits.
