The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1911-07-12


done better this week than we did, out
when one does his best he has the con
ISOLATION that none can do more There /
very little doing in the county news bus
mess this week.
Mr.. Robert r. Jeukinson left last
night tor the northern markets 10 bu,
| his stock of goods He will occupy one
OF the stores in the Brown Block, anC
when he returns from his purchasing
trip he will take the readers OF THE
TINES into his confidence to let then
know what he has ic store 1or them
He has 10 goods now, but when he I'LL:
| his new store. he will have bran new
house and a bran new stock.
The advertisement 10 THE TINES
last week of the Home Bank and Trust
Co.. brought to that institution a good
size depositors who was attracted there
by reading the advertisement, and yet
there are some who will contend that
advertising is rot necessary. In this
day and time people are always on the
| look out for advantages and induce
mepts, her ,e they scan the advertising
columns of the newspapers closely, and
60 where they think there IN something
worth going alter.
The annual picnic at Olanta uncer the
auspices of the Confederate veterans
will take place on the 22nd OF this
mouth, which is Saturday week. Sena-
tor Tillman has been Invited to deliver
an address. ard other prominent men
are also expected to entertain the crowd.
The Olanta picnic is the greatest draw
ing card in this section OF the State. Inc
people from Darlington, Florence, Will
liamsburg and Clarendon meet there
once a year for great big time. We
have seen at one of these plcnlcs q
crowd which was estimated at six thous-
and, and they came from as far away as
Horny county.
Sheriff Gamble has added another
capture TO his score of running down
persons charged with crime in this
county. In 1904 there was homicide
committed at St. Paul, Dorsey Sever
ance was killed, and Frank King was
charged with the act, King made his es-
cape. but ever since the sheriff has been
trying to locate him. King was arrest
ed at St. Petersburg, Florida, and
the sheriff went to Columbia last Mon
day for reouisition from the Governor,
which be secured, and on account of
having TO be here next Friday he depu-
tized Mr.. Frank Richbourg of Summer-
ton. to 60 to Florida to bring the prls-
oner back for trial.
The purpose to secure better health
has taken hold upon this county by the
county commissioners considering a
proposition to have dispeDsaries for
dispensing of medicine free to eradicate
the life sapping disease known as hook
worm. DR.. Milton Weinberg has had
an interview with the county comm's-
sioners which resulted in the estao-
lishment OF free dispensaries at Man
ming, Bloomvi,le, PaXville, Turbeville.
At these places those who desire TO
take the treatment can get the medl-
cine free of charge from Dr.. Geiger at
Manning, DR.. Gamble at Turbeville,
Dr.. Gunter at Paxville and at F. c..
Thomas store at Sloomriile.
The case of Policeman Barwick. who
ia 1908 in the town OF Pinewood accl-
dentally shot and killed Sam Bracey,
colored, was recently decided by the su-
preme court, and the verdict of guilty
in the lower court sustained, hence, un-
less the governor interteres BarWlck
will have 70 serve his sentence. Barwlck
was tried in Sumter, although the
shooting took place in Clarendon. and
the Jury rendered g verdict OF guilty
with a recommendation TO mercy. Ihus
it shows that a policeman, who in the
discharge OF his duty, fires at fleeing
person whom he is endeavorlng to ar
rest, and strikes a bystander, Is liable
to punishment. In the case handed down
from the supreme court, Robert NJ.
Barwick Tas the reg ular police at Pine
wood, on Saturday night IN October
of 1908 he met the train and tried to
open a way for some ladies, when
Thomas Singleton refused TO get out OF
the way. Policeman Barwick Undertook
70 arrest him. Singleton broke loose
from the policeman and fed, Sarwick
pursued and fred several shots to stop
him, one of the shots from policeman
pistol struck Sam Bracy, an
innocent bystauder, from which he died
in the Sumter hospital.
They Really Believe They Can Play.
DuRant, S. c., July !, 1911.
The Manning Times, Manning, S. c.
Please publish the following for the
henefit of those interested.
The DuRant's base ball team first got
the idea that they could play ball when
they won from Manning to the tune OF
fourteen to FIVE. This was further prov
ed by US playing seven games last year
and never lost one.
II there is any team that does not
think we can play ball, they will please
arrange a game with US, aud we Will
take pleasure in changing their opln-
ion. Yours truly,
JAMES CRAWFORD,
Captain.
The above letter from Captain Craw-
ford is in reply to a comment IN this pa
per on the arubbipg DuRant got IN May
esville recently: the DuRant boys did
manage 10 beat Manning last year, but
that is no sign they can play ball be-
cause the team Naming had last year
was the worst ever, why, they could not
catch cold let lone base ball, so when
Captain Crawford boasts of licking Man
ming he could with equal force boast OF
being able TO snatch candy out OF the
hand OF sleeping kid. Last year Du-
Rant did manage TO win some games
but, this wear when tbey weutup against
Mayesville, it is another story. Captain
Crawford's challenge to any team ought
70 be accepted, if for no other reason
than TO show him that DuRanc cannot
win game from anything except Man
