We would direct the attention CT our
local authorities TO the number of able
bodied negroes who are daily loatlng
about this town There should be Il
way found to put Il stop to this condition
OF things. and we 1eel SATISFIED II the
council will instruct the police this pest
will be removed in short order. Look
out any day, at any hour, and YOU will
see strapping, burly negroes lettering
about the streets. How do they live?
They do not work, they have no bank
accounts, hence they must either steal.
or live upon what others steal. AS Il
matter of Justice to the honest colored
population of this town, the authorities
should rid this community Of these
loafers. There is 10 need to handle
these cases with gloves on. it is un-
necessary to draw fine legal distinctions,
Just give the orders to the police to
lock them up or ':mcve on" Those who
are locked up. should be made to do
time on the streets, and those who
choose to move on must stay moved. 1t
is disgusting sight to see a muscular
negro strolling about the streets with a
guitar swung over his shoulders. Or
Sitting on the court house square pick
ing the instrument for the entertain
ment of gang whose indolent habits
will breed crime, and perhaps some
innocent negro will be put to trouble
about it. or at least suffer the suspicion.
AS matter Of public safety to life and
property, we urge the town council to
drive these vagrants away.

Sometime ago the government ad'
vertised for bids to carry mail from the
Manning postofice to the depot and
return, number of bids were filed,
and the contract was awarded to r. A.
White, and he appointed the former
carrier Willis Davis his assistant. Will
lis Davis has been carrying mail ever
since 1881 and made the remarkable
record OF never having missed train
but once. His long service however,
was not taken into consideration IN
awarding the contract. The postal reg.
ulations require the contracts to be
advertised for every four years, but
this requirement has not been carried
out for postoffces the size of Manning

hereafter the carrier contract will be

all his years of service he has beer

often risking missing the train to &C

The tobacco warehousemen are do
ing their part toward inducing trade to
this town. They are paying satisfsc-
tory prices and actually going out IN
person to induce the tobacco growers
20 come to Manning to sell their pro
duct which. OF course, is also an invita-
ton to buy goods from cur merchants.
We have made it our business to ques-
ton a number OF tobacco growers about
this market and we have yet to hear
complaints. There are a number OF
buyers, all representing different con
Germs and each man is acting independ-
ent. Then r. D. Clark, the manager
is Jealous of the reputation OF his ware
house and he is doing all in his power
to make his establishment popular. We
unhesitatingly say that Manning IS
without superior as a tobacco market.

Again we call upon the town author
tiles to give orders to the police to ar
rest any and all persons found driving
around street corners at rapid pace.
Last Friday afternoon the servant drlv-
ing Mr.. David Lewis carriage made a
turn around the corner at McLeod-Wl
kins-Kine Co.'S store which was so fast
that the wheels on one side were at
least six inches off the ground. and the
little children OF Messrs. George Hug,
gins and 3. a. johnson narrowly missed
being run oyer. This same driver has
a practice of driving out OF the Lew lot
at q. fast trot, and on Monday three col
ored women narrowly missed being run
over. This driver is not the only one,
there are many others. white as well as
colored, and it must be stopped: The
town council shonld not wait until some
child is killed or seriously hurt before
it takes action. There is an ordinance
against fast driving and the police
should be required to enforce it strictly,
especially at street corners.

Open the Schools.

The trustees of the various school
districts, except Manning and Summer
ton, are hereby advised to open the
white schools in their respective dis
tricts, Monday, October End, and the
negro schools, except Manning, Mon
day, November 18th.
Our purpose in fixing the above
dates, which we think win readily be
seen and appreciated. is to avoid hav-
| ing both classes of teachers present
their claims for approval and payment
the same day.
II It is found impracticable TO start a
school at the time above given, and the
postponement is for four weeks it will

Poor Encouragement for Warehouse.

The cotton warehouse proposition for
this town is not being pushed IN a man.
ner to suit US. Mr.. W. E. Jenkinson
who has the matter in charge, die not
receive the encouragement from our
merchants that, in our opinion, be
should have. The subscription to the
stock was stingily given, and to be
frank, we do noU believe Manning will
have standard warehouse to store this
seasons crop. The Peoples tobacco
warehouse, belonging to Mr.. Jenkinsor
and Mr.. F. P. Erwin, is here and is not
being used for tobacco. Several thous.
and bales can be stored in it, but the
trouble is the insurance rate in such a
building will be so much higher than in
standard warehouse that we fear our
farmers will be unwilling TO store their
cotton here when they can find a stan
dard warehouse nearby. We have IN,
sisted on this facility for handling the
cotton of our farmers, for our merch-
ants good. They have seemingly been
Indifferent to our suggestions, now II
they find that on account Of not havln
standard rdiwarehouse here, much cotton
which would naturally come here, Is
taken to Sumter. they must blame
themselves only. Then, too, if they
realize that through this cotton being
stored elsewhere the goods which
naturally would be bought here Is
bought where the cotton is stored, our
merchants can attribute the loss to a
spirit OF not pulling together, and lack
Of proper enterprise. We have heard
merchants say that these warehouses
are for the farmers benefit, and they
should build them. We differ with such
a view the warehouses. no doubt, bene-
tit the farmer, but in this age of COM
petition the farmer can 60 where the
best facilities are held out as induce
ments for his trade, and If Manning
offers none, some other town does, why
the farmer goes there, and as q trade
inducer, our merchants should build &
warehouse. It is as much to their in
terest to spend money to afford accom-
modations for their trade as it IS to
offer special prices on goods to induce
trade. We therefore say 1t is blind
policy to stand back and say the farmer
is benefited and should build the ware
house. Why, is it that live merchants
go to extra expense to provide conven-
fences for their trade if it is not to in
duce custom? Where then, it seems to be
the purpose to store cotton, we ask, Is
it common business sense TO be without
the proper facilities to do the business
that the times and conditions require?
Merchants, unless we mistake the signs,
the fact of Manning not building a
warehouse will cause her to lose this
very season many dollars in trade, and
those OF you who will not put your
shoulder to the wheel will feel it.

NEVADA REMEMBERING.

This state is fortunate in having
staunch friends among the newspaper
fraternity in our sister State OF Utal.
Judge Goodwin never misses an op-
portunity to say a good word for the
state that once was his home and was
the scene of his earlier editorial work.
Major Littlefield Of the Utah State
Journal is another old Nevadan who
is ever looking for an opportunity to
hand a bouquet to the home OF his
earlier manhood, as witness the fol-
lowing:
"An eastern paper has awakened to
the fact that our sister state is hav-
ing a resurrection; that in the battle
born State of Nevada, from the pro-
camps that are attracting so much at
tention at home and abroad, the n.
weston and mining promoter is turn
ing to the old prolific camps OF twenty
and thirty years ago, and in the old
treasure vaults Of their leading mines
they are finding such evidence OF i'm
mense hidden wealth that they are
astonished. The camps are becom-
ing justly popular after long season
of death-like sleep, and the reawaken-
ing can be attributed to renewal Ut
interest that is being taken in the
mining industry the world over-to
the fact that no country presents 90
portunities for successful mining oper-
ations such as were presented to
this State, and to the further fact
that in the inter-mountain and far
western states these opportunities are
unrivaled, go where one will. From
