Sunday evening. All OF the congresa-

\. r. Woodson, and Dr.. a. S. Todd OF
the Presbyterian, Rev. C. y. Waters OF

Aud Whereas the above language
wheu plainly construed, means that the
Town Council of Manning knowingly
and willingly permitted gambling to De
carried on publicly on the streets OF
said town five days in the week: ana
then on the sixth and last day OF the
Carnival week enforced the law on y to
win the approval OF the voters OF the
town for political reasons: while, as

Now be it resolved, that the strlctur-
es against this Council above mention

and the charges made by him are false.
Resolved farther. that we would not
consider these stllctures and charges OF

for the fact that such charge, when

was a rendezvous for gamblers and fax

Resolved, further: that the Clerk OF
