Editor The Manning Times:
Your correspondent had decided TO
take a rest on account of warm weather,
but refreshing showers, watermelons,
and the progress OF the town OF Sum
merton, has somewhat revived US and
then besides we could not forget YOU.
Mr.. Editor.
The people of Summerton. like the
Editor of The MANNING TINES: all OF
us here know that you are somewhat
wild on politics and are faln to go
astray on public questions, but with US;
Mr.. Editor, charity never 1alleth ana
we want YOU to make us a visit.
Among the many evidences OF pros
peritv in this community is the splen-
did array Of fine horses: so many nice
horses could not be found in towns oi
larger size than this. Among the gentle
men who own these beautiful anima!S
are Mr.. NJ. S. Cartey. DR.. Mood, Major
Briggs, and Mr.. J. NJ. Richardson.
These horses are an advertisement to
the town of Summerton and your cor
respondent congratulates the owners
thereof.
The Summerton Board Of Trade is
very anxious that a good, reliable
newspaper be published in this town.
Your correspondent is informed that
two well posted gentlemen of this place
propose to publish good weekly pa,
Der here within the near future and
thus, Mr.. Editor, you may expect i
copy of the Summerton Sun before
very long.
On last Friday afternoon, the Man
ming Chapter of the Woodman OF the
World. played game OF base ball with
the Summerton Chapter OF the same
lodge. This game was enjoyed oy a
large gathering of people and resulted
in victory of a small margin 1or the
Summerton Woodmen.
The first team OF baseball players OF
this locality will leave in the morning
for a game with Bishopville and your

Rev. Marshall, of this place, has ac-
cepted call to the Episcopal church
at Rock Hill, and will leave tomorrow
to take up his duties at the last men
toned point. The people of this town
regret the departure of Mr.. Marshall,
for the simple reason that no town can
well afford to give up so model Ia scholar
and gentleman.
The Mayor OF Summerton, Mr..
Smythe, has gone on a summer vaca-
tion to North Carolina andwill not re-
turn until September. As q progressive
business man, Mr.. Smythe has been
quite an addition to this community
and we wish him an enjoyable vacation.
The people of this community are
somewhat indignant at the treatment
rendered their attorney, Mr.. >. j:
Cantev. during the trial OF the case OF
the State against Stukes, n the town
of Sumter, several days ago. During
the progress OF the trial: Mr.. Cantey
had received a number OF threats from
the relatives OF David Wells and ~
view of said threats. the sheriff had
appointed two of his deputies to pre-
vent any unfair advantage being taken
of Mr.. Cantey and at the time OF sae
cowardlv assault, Mr.. Cantey vas &C
companied by said deputies. The depu-
ties promptly removed said as5allantS
and there was no opportunity afforded
Mr.. Cantey to resent the attack. Mr.
Cantey has been the recipient OF words
approval from many OF the citizens OF
this community and from ministers
especially, OF account OF the manly,
out-spoSen position assumed: during
the trial of said case.
The Presbyterians of this place are
beginning to lay the foundation for :.
splendid new $500 church edltice and
the other denominations OF this locality
must bestir themselves to keep apace
the predestinarians.
Among those visiting here at this
writing are the following: Miss Miriam
Kinard. Columbia: Miss Lula Cantey,
Foreston: Miss Zella Scarborough,
Darlington: Miss Kate Ingram, Dillon;
Mr. Harry Wise, Columbia; Mr.. John
Wilson, Manning. n.
