candidate.
The new council will have before
them soon, proposition IN the nature
otan application for permit to estao-
lish another telephone system IN this
town. A1essrs. I. G. Strauss and Henry
Hardy. representing the Sumter Iele'
phone COMPANY, came TO Manning last
Monday had conference with the
present owners of the local system
with view to purchasing, the result
of the conference was not definite. The
Sumter people prefer buying this com
pany out, and will do so If the price i
satisfactory, otherwise they Will pu
iu a new plant. There is some douot:
about them being able to get ID mere
but this will not phase the Sumter pro
moters: if council declines 10 gran
them permit. in order 10 give the
local concern a monopoly. the court:
will be resorted to for relief. Man
ming needs tirst-class telephone serv
ice. one by which it can communicate
with the entire county and surrounding
towns. If our local company canno
give this to US. and they cannot, will
their present output, then we sincere
" hope they will sell out TO compan.
