When our readers wish the address
of their paper changed, they must state
from which postotfice the change
should be made. We request this to
insure immediate attention. Merely
to say. change my paper to Greedy
vilIe," without saying where it is now
going, puts US to much trouble which
can be avoided by saying, "change my
paper from Summerton to Greelyvllle.
Mr.. ". 3. Dickson and family left
Yesterday to make their future home at
Black Mountain, n. G. Mr.. Dickson
leaves his home town With the regret
OF this community, and all wish for him
in his new home the success that a
map of character and energy deserves.
Manning loathes to part with such a
worthy citizen Mr.. Dickson will en-
gage in the builders supply business,
and ii aightforwardness and energy
will accomplish the desired end he VII!
succeed in the venture.
The county board of dispensary con-
troll has been commissioned and or
canized with E. S. Erwin chairman,
and A. H. Breelin secretary. The
board elected c. C. Chewning, dis
peuser at a salary OF $1,000 year and
J. w. Heriott clerk at a salary OF S720
a year. Everything was in readi-
ness for the Inspector to come to Man
ming and turn over the stock to the
board. Inspector Culley came yester~
day and the dispensary opened this
morning.
About o'clock yesterday afternoon
destructive FIRE visited Alcolu and
did much damage. The FIRE started in
the hotel from a defective chimney.
There was high wind blowing which
caused the FIRE to spread to the nearby
buildings, the Chapel and dwelling,
ali of which was destroyed before the
fire was gotten under control. 4 good
portion of the furniture in the houses
was saved. We understand the de-.
stroyed property was insured.
The case of S. W. Gowdy, against
Halsey Baker, at al, tried before
Magistrates Youmans and Rlchoourg
with twelve jurors, resulted IN a YER
dict for Gowdy, the plaintiff. Since
then, however. the attorneys for the
defendants have secured an order from
Judge Klugh at Chambers in Bishop
vile for the case to be taken up TO the
court of common pleas, which means
that the Bakers will remain upon the
land in dispute until the matter is ad
Indicated in the higher court.
The spring season is opening up, aad
with it the town authorities should
look carefully after the sanitary con-
ditions. Manning is naturally healthy
town, but if there is not some dltchlng
done TO carry off the water from the
property between the Walker place
and Church street, the town IS liable
to become very sickly. The town ditch
running through the Barfeld property
needs deepening and it is more import
ant for this work to be done now than
any work upon the streets. We hope
the council will give this matter its
attention
The local dispensary was inspected
yesterday by MIR. H. r. Culley of Co.
lumbia, and his settlement was entire
ly satisfactory. He tells US that every
thing showed up clear to the cent. and
that the dispensary had in stock
S6, ,2lS.S6 and from this the county re-
ceives the stock at discount of twenty
per cent, making the cost to the county
S4,S75.09. Then there is a further de
duction allowed for wine which had
soured and which will be returned to
Columbia, amounting to s9S.50. There
fore, the county dispensary starts of
with S4,77759 worth of net stock. Mr..
Culley is an expert accountant, having
for wears served the Atlantic Coast
Line as soliciting agent, and he seemed
very much pleased with the condition
of the Manning dispensary.
If Manning proposes to have cotton
warehouse, the movement cannot be
commenced TOO soon. Several attempts
have been made to get up a company
to build standard warehouse, but 1t
failed for lack OF interest, or full ap-
probation of what cotton warehouse
facilities will benefit cotton market.
We believe the day is not far off when
the town without warehouse facilities
will be blotued out as cotton market.
and unless our business men awake to
the realization of the need of such an
institution, their Indifference will be
very costly.
There is property near the railroad
oepot which can be bought perhaps
cheaper now than later, and 1t is
especially adapted to warehouse pur-
poses. Will Manning continue indifer--
ent while other towns are going ahead
and sapping our trade?
Read the advertisement OF the great
Congo Salvage Company of Michigan,
that will sell out the Krasnoff stock OF
all manner and kinds of dry goods,
clothing and shoes at startling low
prices. Mr.. Perry Krasnoff, who is in
charge OF the Krasnotf stock, intimated
to US sometime ago that his buyer in
New York has been shipping to him
some wonderful bargains, and that he
was going to give the readers of The
TINES an opportunity to realize what
a genuine bargain sale is. He claims
that if he can get the people interested
he can save them big money, and de-
monstrate how frst-class goods may be
bought cheap when cash is used prop
erly in the big Northern markets to
