The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1904-05-25

The Mutual Dry Goods Company had
quite a successful ''white goods open;
ing" last Wednesday evening ano
THURSDAY. The attendance was nne
and the display beautiful. These younS:
men never do things half way and all o.
their undertakings are with We" u
make a lasting impression.
We are told that Captain Wilson ma mas
about arranged a schedule for the F." -, -,
son and Summerton railroad whlch VIII
enable those living along the route TO
reach Manning in the morning oE eon-
Meeting with the train from Charlesson'
and return to their homes ID 1he a.Cel-
noon bv connecting with the tram Irom
Columbia. We hope this IS true as II
will be almost as much help to our town
as if the Wilson train came olrecC lngo
Nannino With such q schedule people
fron, ST. Paul. Summerton, DAVIS and
Jordan could shop . whole day here
and Ger back to their homes in time Tor
sumner, which will be great induce
ment 10 turn the tide OF trade from
Sumter to Manning.
Mrs. S. a. Geddings OF PaNville left
Manning Tuesday of last week to visit
her daughter at Harpers, on the
Georgetown and Western railroad. On
reaching the water tank near that sta
tion the porter rushed in calling out
"Harpers" and grabbed up her valise.
Mrs. Geddings naturally followed the
porter, and when in the act OF stepping
from the car the train moved off and
ierked her violently to her knees Sc
verely injurine her. A Doctor Lee and
some others came to her assistance at
the station, and her brother, Mr.. a. P.
Hill, wishes US to express his thanks to
them for their kindness. Here IS a case
of gross careless on the part OF the rail-
road and it will be surprising to US If
they do not have to pay damages.
A glance over our candidates column
will convince the most doubling that the
chase will be more earnest for the dol
lar than for patriotic desire to improve
the country's condition. Let the good
work go on until the day for fling
pledges: the more the merrier. and the
fewer votes it will take to get into the
second race. Aspirants for Office be
not dismayed by numbers: for the
greater the number the sweeter the
victory. and we who delight in count
inc YOUR shekels will continue gleeful-
" in counting more. Hurry up fellow
citizens, gentlemen and patriots, all ye
that are office-hungry come unto US and
we will give YOU an opportunity to
speak with our friends. Come along
people while it lasts, hand US your WI
liam and get under the starting string,
and when the flag drops our word for 1T
a large majority will hear the cheers OF
the victors.
a very sad accident occurred to DR..
T. J. Davis OF Summerton last Saturday
afternoon. The doctor was on his way
to see patient near Davis Station, and
having an appointment for a consulta-
tion with other physicians, he was in a
hurry. Mr.. Allen Shorter who was in
a wagon, noticing the doctors appar-
ent hurry turned out to give him the
road. Doctor Davis buggy wheel
struck Shorter's wagon and both were
turned over into the bitches on either
S1Oe CQS ". l.S OOSeo2 SPAhASSo
horse took fright, dashed Off, threw him
out headlong, and by some means the
lines became wrapt around ms oooy.
He was dragged several hundred yards
and when picked up be was gasplng as
in extremis. His head, face and body
are badly bruised and cut, some OF the
wounds are quite serious, but Doctors
Wilson OF Jordan, Mood and Stukes OF
Summerton and Geiger of Manning who
responded Immediately upon getting
the messages, and gave the sufferer
their best attention, say that II there
are 10 internal injuries, the wounds
while serious and painful are not fatal:
Doctor Davis is now at the residence OF
his brother. Joseph, where every atten.
tion is given him. and with the good
nursing he is receiving he will be at his
practice again, with a new horse we
hope, in few weeks.
