sdi:or The Manning T.me<;

community for the past week has been
devoted 20 rain. Cutie substantial
| showers have fallen every day during
that time. and so,Ee OF them were very
heavy. The farmers are not alone IN
raising their voices in complaint. but
our whole community is beSinaing to
material damage should 1t continue
much longer. Many field OF oats
can be seen shocked and waiting to
be dried before 1t can be housed. 1t
is very probable that such oats will
be badly damaged il not ruined. Prac-
tically no work has been done for 4
week in the cotton fields. and for once
the planters OF this section have not
been able to keep the grass out.
Work which had been commenced
on the eastern portion OF our Main
street has been discontinued On ac-
count Of unfavorable weather. The
town is cooperating with the force
sent out by the county, and thereby
it is hoped that much improved road
can be had at that entrance to the
town. The plan. is to clay the street,
beginning at Taw.Caw Branch and
continuing to the part OF the street
where former clayins was done. This
will eliminate the only real and ger.
uiae sand bed" within the town linn
it's.
The rains have likewise delayed the
work on the new Methodist church
building. The furnace pit in whi"s.
had been done considerable fourda-
ton work, has been supplied with a
foot or more Of water, which the con-
tinued rain prevented from being en-
tirely carried of.
The Episcopal church which is be.
ing repaired TO the extent OF re- pias-
terins and re-paintinS will soon be IN
readiness for the continuance OF ser
vices. 1t is very gratifying to the
Episcopa! congregation Of this place

monthly publication OF that church:
Rev. Jno. ke,shaw, Jr., has resumed
! charge Of his former parish OF 81.
Matthias, Summerton, and expects TO
move there in the fall and give his
whole time to that fed. 1t gives ice
great pleasure TO be able to state that
his health is greatly improved during
the past year and his physician as
sures him that with care and an out

stored"
