Will the Towl have Sewerage.

There seems to be much opposition to
the sewerage question in this town,
based principally on the unfairness OF
taxing the whole town for a convenience
of few, and we doubs if the authorl-
ties will have easy sailing, should they
attempt TO act on the proposition of bor-
rowing $4,000 in the name of the town
for such purpose. To our mind, sew
erage is necessary for the court house
and the school house, and this can be
had without further burdeoing the tax
payers, as to the private residences on
Brooks street, the fifth avenue OF Man
ming. let those tenderlings pay for the
conveniences they seek, without calling
on those who are not to use it: to con-
tribute.
The proposition to run about mile
of sewerage pipe through Brooks street
at the expense of the entire town Is
gathering more and more opposition,
even if the town treasury was full to
bursting, there are many citizens who
feel there are uses for the money which
would be more beneficial. We need de-
cent sidewalks, they would be used gen.
orally, but the sewerage as proposed
would only be used on one street, and
not by all who live on that street eth
er. Hence the opposition.
So far as we are concerned, 1t matters
not one way or another, and if it did,
our views would have no weight with
the present council; we exist only al
taxpaying time. this, they have demon.
strated, the signs OF which may be seen
on a street post or two, but there will
come a time when perhaps taxpayer
who pays more town taxes than any
member OF council will have his views
weighed the same as any other citizer
who has Interests to guard.

He did good Work.

Hon. O. G.. Scarborough, Of Summer
ton was in Manning last Monday, and
gave US a pleasant call, which we ap-
Dreciated. Iu the course of conversation
he directed our attention to several
measures that went through the gener-
al assembly, that he had worked indus
triously for. among them was the Act TO
retain the states department Of agrl-
culture. introduced by Mr.. Richards OF
kershaw: the Act TO regulate the man
ufacture, sale and delivery OF CONNER
cial Fertilizers. introduced by Senator
Laney of Chesterfield. This Act is in
many of its details similar to the one in-
troduced by himself the session before,
and 1t is one which is a great protection
TO the farmers. The 2ct TO prescribe the
punishment for nam5,ess crimes which
we stated was lost, on account OF the
Wharton bill being similar, was not lost
as we thought but so amended as to en-
body Mr. Scarboro1gh's bill and the
Carey provision relating TO the taking
OF dispositions OF female witnesses.
4 great portion OF Mr.. Scarborough's 5
work was done on the committees where
legislation IS shaped. II is frequently
the case that member of tho legisla-
tor whose name is not attached to bills
does vast amount of work. For in
stance the Laney fertilizer bill was
fought in committee by the fertilizer
interests, and here is where Mr.. Scar
borough's work was mainly done, while
the bill was credited 10 Senator Laney,

noon at the home of Mr.. and, Mrs. T.

The ceremony was performed on the
porch, the bride and groom standing
beneath a large wedding bell. The only
attendants were the Dame of Honor,
Mrs. Hyman, OF Camden, and the best
man, Mr.. j. E. King, OF Sumter.
The porch, where the ceremony was
performed and the halls and dining
room and parlors were beautifully and
artlstically decorated with smiiaX and
fern and were in harmony with the
happy occasion and the fresh and ten

flowers with which all OUT of the doors
was adorned by natures own hands.

There is no Sympathy for Blind Tigers.

1t is a mistake OF the part of some
fover-Zeaious people in Manning when
they think that the blind tiger element
! have sympathiZers among those who ia
vored the retention of the dispensary.
! Al! of those who favored the legal sale
of liquor. now that we have prohibition,
want the law enforced, but they want 1t
enforced not merely 10 ,ep!enlsh the
town treasury bui because It Is the law.
There are many who voted for prohlb!-
ton. as well as against who are not
willing to accept Us convincing the evil
Gence of detectives who depend solely
upon convictions for their pay. The
reason for this is, they regard men who
have no interest N a community who
come here with the object OF securing
evidence against the blind tigers Tor
pay, as not as reliable as would men be
whose object is TO uphold the law in the
interest of good citizenship, and unless
these detectives have their testimony
backed up by evidence of a reliable
character, juries as q rule, hesitate to
convict At the same time, their failure
to convict is no indication that they
svmpathize with the lawbreakers.
The town authorities are making
commendable efforts to enforce prohl-
bition IN this town, the police are active
and every good citizen Will give them
credit for it, but because no convictions
were secured from the several cases
tried last week, is only because the evil
dence was not sufficient in the judgment
of the jurors to punish the accused
There was no one more favorable to the
retention of the dispensary than the
writer, and there is no one who is more
anxious for the law to be enforced.
The enforcement Of the law IN u law
ful manner is an absolute need, other
wise the town would be Over-run with
law breakers Of every variety. 1t will
not do to encourage the blind tiger ele-
ment in the belief they will not be con-
victed: get the proper evidence against
them, and when convicted punish them
to the limit. but convict them on con-
vincing evidence. and not becaused the
accused. may perch auce, be under sus-
picion.
