The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1908-08-26

THE TINES office remained open until
1890 waiting for returns OF the cleo
tion. What we publish today is incom-
plete. The telephones connecting with
the outside were net working and the
news service generally is not so good as
usual on account OF the bad weather,
but enough information has came in &c
Justify US in saying that 0. G.. Scar
borough is elected one OF the Represen-
tatives, and probably D. L. Green: 1ol
the third place. Dingle and Richardson
will have to run over. Sheriff Gamble
is reelected. so is Clerk of Court Bar
ron. Supervisor McFaddin is re-elect-
ed. The race between Earle Bradaam
and E. J. Browne is close with Browne
a slight lead. Thames and Dickson will
have to run over for Magistrate at Man.
ming. Later: Browne has defeated
Bradham.
The tobacco growers are carried
away with Manning's tobacco market.
This is gratifying TO US, but while we
are pleased to learn the tobacco grow
ers are satisfied with this market, our
merchants should see to it that the cot
ton market is made satisfactory to the
cotton growers. There is no sound rea-
son why cotton should bring less in this
market than elsewhere, and it will not
if our business men are alive to their
own interests. AS long as one cotton
buying concern has monopoly full
price cannot be obtained, but when
there is actual, live and forceful com
petition it means the product will get
It's value and the trade of the town IN
creased. Let the merchants OF Man
ming wake up. and see to 1t the buyers
pay full price for cotton. With full
priced cotton, and good goods sold at
reasonable profits, Manning can be
made the commercial equal OF any town.
The organization of Board Of Trade
in this town is already being felt. A
couple of real estate spectators from
Greensboro. n. c., came here last week
with view of purchasing tract OF
land TO cut up into lots and sell them
at auction. These gentlemen are pleas
ed with the town. and they were shown
several pieces OF land which they have
now under consideration. II they can
buy ct sane figure, they will break
the grip on property in this town, and
put it in reach OF development. It can
help Manning very much if the prop
erty is marketable, as every town en-
ioying progress has its property on the
market always. We hope Messrs.
Mathews and Barnes will cone back
to see US, and invest. The Board OF
Trade attracted them here. and it is to
to hoped the organization can persuade
property owners 20 remove the OBJ
stacles from Manning's growth without
waiting for Father Time 20 swing his
scythe.
