wishes for :, successful career. His law
Office will be in the Fourth National

Regarding the production OF The
Wolf" which will be seen in Manning
next Monday night, TOO much praise
cannon be said. 1t is 4 story OF the Ca
madam WiidS and b rs the past season
been one OF the very few successes. II
is strictly dramatic n tone, beautiful
IN sep:!mep: and is written around :.
romance which has heretofore aot been
touched by the dramatic authors. The
Coluubia Stock sCo. will also make !
production The Devil during their
three days engagement here.
I. will be recalled that Dr.. J. Il.
Clifton, occulis. from Orangeburg, was
in Manning recently. and while here ne
made = miraculous cure OF SucCy
Walker, colored. whoh as been totally
blind the past six years. Dr.. Clifton
operated on him acd treated
Walkers eyes. and today the blind
sees again, and is able 70 60 out TO
work. Dr.. Clifton has surely made i
wonderful cure il this very bad case.
d.. G. L Dickson who assisted in the
operation and the treatment, is highly
pleased with the SUCCESS
The county gang has been re-sforced
With recruit who was one OF the first
10 be put OF when the gang system was
inaugurated IN Clarendon. His name
IS William Martin, and il 1900 was
sentenced 10 Ave years Tor breaking in
70 MIR. Thomas Nirnmer's house: in 1908
he escaped from the Clarendon only TO
fetch up on tbe Charleston gang, where
Sheriff Gamble located him, and
brought him back Sunday, and re
placed hin'oa the Clarendon gang Mon
day, Martin will have 70 serve one
year and nine months 70 finish his O.
rigiral sentence.
The town council is having trees cut
down il the streets, and We hope that
this destruction OF the towns mark OF
beauty will ocly be confined TO such -ree
IS are dead. 4 tree which shaded the
a-sesiaa fount in front OF the court
house. in our judgment should have
been spared rs it would have afforded
good shade for mary years. There are
many of the middle row OF trees on
Brooks street, which can be saved Il
council will have the earth around them
ioosered up so the moister can reach
the roofs, and it IS sincerely hoped
that council will give these trees their
immediate attention.
Several Of the scores fronting the
court house on Boycs street, are deco
rated with immense special sale signs,
and on last Saturday the noise kept up
throughout the day was little short OF 2
nuisance: megaphones, banjos and drum
beating, was kepc up TO attract trade,
and gave the town the appearance OF a
cheap carnival. We like 70 see things
lively abou, Us, but we doubt seriously
that the racket kicked up has beue-
fetal effect cn business The stores
having these special sales are decorated
with large signs which should be sui-
6cieas attraction 70 those wanting 70
buy, without making cases of nervous
prostcacion for the rest OF the conmu-
nifty.
