Z. S. Soldiers who served in Cuba
during the Spanish war know that this
disease is, ard that ordinary remedies
have little more effect than so water.
Cuban diarrhoea is almost as severe
and dangerous as a mild attack Of

ever, that can always be depended
upon as will be seen by the following
certificate from Mrs. Minnie Jacobs
of Houston, TaXas: Il hereby certify
that Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and

Meeting of Business Men.

In response to the appeal OF this
newspaper, the business men OF Nan
ming assembled in the court house last
THURSDAY afternoon to consider the
wavs and means to get in touch with
those who are contemplating railroad
enterprises which may be induced to
affect this town. The number present
was very gratifying, ss 1t represented
about all the business Interests mere
with but one exception.
The president OF the local Board OF
Trade, Mr.. J. II. Rigby: was called to
the chair, who stated the object OF the
meeting as being the preliminary steps
towards securing additional railroad
facilities for Manning. He then in
vited discussion of the matter.
Major Marion Noise of Sumter was
present upon the invitation OF the act
i've spirits in this progressive move.
Major Noise is interested in securing
competing railroad facilities, and ne
with other enterprising citizens deter
mined to bring about competition IN
freight for Sumter, cost what 1t may. lie
was requested to address the meeting.
and as IS his custom whenever ne
speaks he does so as to attract ana nolu
attention. His talk was plain. practical
and businesslike. He told US OF what
Sumter was needing to free itself OF the
clutches of a practical monopoly; that
while she had several railroads. there
is no competition. The Atlantic Coast
Line and Southern are so closel Y allied
that a connection with the Seaooard IS
a necessity. He said that the Seaboard
had been approached to come TO sum
ter, but it declined on account OF an
understanding with the other roads TO
not invade each others territory. 10
Get the connection, however, 1t was
agreed to build road to either Be
uhune or McBee, a distance OF about
forty miles, with the expectation OF
either leasing or selling it to the South
ern, and when it was seen that the!
had obtained the right OF ways and had
already spent some money, tinanclers
not connected with either system had
profferred to put up the money pro-
vided the road would go on to Charles
ton. He then told Of the vast coal
fields in West Virginia owned by the
Seaboard, and with Charleston,s naval
station. it is his opinion that the Sea-
board wishes an outlet to the sea, anu
he believed the road he and his friends
we're projecting would ultimately eN-
tend TO Charleston: coming through
this county, and that while he was not
prepared to make aEy definite state

ment. vet he thought il wise OF the peo-
.ple Of Manning 10 take time by the
forelocl. aud be ready to take udvant-
age of what may turn up. tie said ne
was interested in Clarendon, being the
owner OF some property here's and would
like tc see L competing road running
through it and he would be glad to be
of service towards it.
Major Noise then called attention to
another railroad scheme. which is be-
ing moosel in the newspapers that he
regards with some suspicion. He
thinks the reported scheme 10 buiid .
road from Charleston to the Ohio river
is a bluff on the part Of persons inter-
ested in the Coast Line to choke off op-
position. and he expressed surprise that
some monied men in Charleston should
lend themselves TO the scheme, when
they must know that Charleston is as
badly bottled up" by non-competIng
railroads as Sumter and Manning. He
cautioned his hearers 10 beware Of how
they were induced to 90 into these
schemes. Il is q common thing for
prominent men 10 be made directors OF
Il new road. but they are mere figure
heads and have no voice, they are given
these positions Is bats to catch the
community He said ii will pay this
town to 90 in debt to secure competing
railroad rates. If necessary issue $4,000
in bonds. give rights-ol-way and ter
minals. offer every indpcement posi-
bic TO get such facilities, but never give
one cent towards any road that is norin
competition.
Major Noises remarks were greatly
appreciated and inspired his hearers
with the hope that some day Manning
witt have better facilities. and when he
concludeda Z unanimous vote OF thanks
was given TO him.
\ committee OF five was appointed by
the chair to take charge of the matter
looking towards securing information
and getting into communication with
those VINO contemplate building new
railroads,in this section. The commit
tee are: Mayor D. NJ. Bradham, l. /.
bagnal, ". Z. Jenkinson, J. y. Vein
berg and Louis Appelt. This commit
tee will organize and begin its work
right away. and whenever it has Sc
cured sufficient tangible information it
will report same to the Board Of Trade.
and ii necessary that body will call
citizens meeting.
