The ,1arrv from IanninC ATTENDING

The party from Manning attending
the shriners' meeting in Charleston,
were, Capt. Y. C. Davis aud wife, Mai.
! a. Levi and wife, J. II. Rigby, t. l..
Wolfe. II. D. Clark, and Louis Applet
and Miss Matte .\npelt. They all had
a jolly time.
Haven't any time 10 work now, saith
the Young man who is TOO light for
heavy work and TOO heavy for light
work. His time is at this season OF the
year taken up with base ball, and at all
other seasons OF the year he is resting
| between meals.
Mr.. ". S. Jones, the superintendent
OF the school house construction. has
gone 10 his home in Greenville. Mr..
Jones made host Of friends during
his stay in Manning, and we hope some
day TO have him back here TO build
Manning's city hail.
There was game OF base ball IN Man
ming last Friday, between Summerton
and scrub nine OF this place. The game
was scrappy all through but both sides
managed to keep down the score. The
game was called on account OF darkness
with the score standing one to one.
Manning and Charleston are in the
throes of base ball this week. The game
Monday Was well attended, and consid-
ering the Disadvantage of our Manning
boys not having regular practlced
team they did good playing. The score
was three to one in favor Of Charleston.
A little child of Mr.. Charlie Jordan.
of Alcolu, was playing in the yard with
a negro nurse, and the nurse had an axe
chopping about the feet of the little
one. making it jump, when by miss
lick the axe came 6owl on the right
foot Of the child cutting off three toes.
DR.. Brockinton was called to dress the
wound.
Prof. B. B. Patterson, principal of
the Pinewood Graded School has secur-
ed the Hon. Mendel L. Smith of Cam
den, S. c., to speak at Pinewood, S. c.,
Friday \. NJ, at II o'clock May, Ith.
The public is cordially invited to at
tend. The school closing commence
tnent exercises will take place that
night starting at $50 7. NJ.
When we look over our exchanges
and see the number of bankruptcy no.
tices in other towns, we come to the
conclusion that Manning is not a bad
place for trade after ali. There is a
general business depression all over the
country, no town is exempt from it,
but our town is managing to get along
in it's usual conservative way.
The parties convicted before the
town council for selling liquor have
been indicted in the State court on the
same charge. VIII this be jeopardising
liberty twice on the same charge? II
not, then after the State court gets
through with them they may be hauled
40 before the United States court for
selling without revenue license.
On the evening of June 1st, the peo-
pie OF this county will have aa oppor-
tunity OF welcoming one of South Caro-
lina's favorite sons Ex-Governor John G.
Sheppard, and we sincerely hope the
magnificent auditorium of our new
graded school will be filed to its utmost
capacity. Besides this distinguished
gentlaman's address, there will be
well selected Musical program.
Friday evening "Josiah's Courtship'
a pleasing little drama was well render
ed by the young people OF Summerton
at the Manning school house. The at
tendance was not as large as it should
have been owing to misunderstanding.
It is hoped the Summertonians will give
the play n Manning again, when they
will be greeted with a much larger
audience.
The dispensary stock has at last been
disposed of to the relief of Commission
er Breedin, who has resorted to all man
ner of means, and has gone to consid-
cradle expense TO induce disposition
OF the stock. Dr.. 3. 3. Breedin OF the
Sumter board was here Yesterday, and
to him Commissioner Breedin sold the
stock at 80 cents on the dollar. A full
statement Will be published next week.
The loss to the taxpayers will be -Jn-
siderable, just how much we cannot tell
until a complete statement has been OBJ
tained.
Those who do not care TO sit upde-
the trees on the court house square on
Sunday afternoons do not have to. we
have pever heard any who enjoy them
selves on the benches, complain OF those
who prefer going to church. In fact
"bench warmers" are perfectly satisf-
ed aud care not to be solicitous Of 9TH
ers II however. it is against the NOR
ais of this community to be on the court
house square instead of at-church, get
the council TO make It a crime for not
attending church, punishable BY fine or
Imprisonment, as was the law when IN
the early days of this country Zealots
did the ruling.
Mai. Abe Levi and The TINES edi-
tor, were among those Initiated into the
Ancient order Of the Mystic Shrine, at
Charleston last week, and while we can
not tell what was done at the ceremon-
ial session, the public exercises fur
rished much amusement for the large
crowd of ladies present who laughed
themselves into mysteries at the antics
of what on other occasions, were digni-
fed men. Our readers have no idea how
Major Levi looks in costume, he is d
sight, and as for The TINES editor, the
least said, the easiest mended. This
pair were no doubt taken in, because of
being good TO draw 70, and next year it
lis expected that Manning will have
more representatives in the shrine.
Every mason ought to secure the high
er degrees and qualify himself for the
play ground of masonry. 1t is all right.
they always give the nor ey's worth.
