Died in Florence this morning, Mar
tha Boyd, ar aged coiored woman whose
home was il Manning, and who was well
thought Of by the older white people OF
this town. 'Aunt Martha" was {. SER
want in the Barron family. and practic,
ally raised the children. The attach.

soul is inGeed commendable. Her BODY
will be brought here for burial.
One OF the trustees OF the PaNvllle
school was in Manning yesterday and
informs US that it will not be necessary
10 have an additional bond issue to com
plete their building. The contractor
promises to finish the building in few
DAYS. The election for the high schoo!
proposition comes Off next Friday: and
the people will be practically unani'
nous with their votes as they are anxi-
Gus to have school facilities as good as
the best.
Manning is nov well equipped for
the handling OF cotton. all OF the prio-
cipal exporting firms are represented
here and the competition between
them should Ee sharp. We believe,
with the facilities for the handling oi
cotton, Manning should be as gooo
market as at any point in the State
with the same traffic rates. and the
competition between the buyers will
assure the market limit in price. Bring
YOUR product here and if the price is
cot what it should be there is q ware
house to store it, and four banks that
will advance money on 1t.
Within the past six months there have
been built in Manning a very large
number of tenent houses, principally
the class used by colored people, this is
all we'll and good. but what is needed at
this time is number OF good cornmo-
d,ous cottages for white people. y gen.
tlen1an approached US few days age
with an inquiry for a cottage as he was
desirous of moving his family to this
town, we knew Of none he could rent,
but suggested to him to call upon Ger.
tain owners of property who might build
for him the kind of dwelling he would
like. Manning is greatly in need OF
some nice cottages which can be let at
q reasonable rent.
The dispensaries for the free exani'
nation, treatment, including medicine
ior hookworm, will remain open i'm this
county until September 18th. Those de.
string to take advantage Of this oeneht
should 90 to the dispensaries now while
they have the opportunity. lit is found
that the people are disposed to take ad-
vantage OF this treatment the autaorl-
ties will arrange to continue the dis
pensaries, but there must be more IL
,erest manifested than is at present. We
are told there are at least 10000 cases
in this county needing the treatment, II
TINS is correct while they have the op.
portunity of getting the treatment and
medicines free there should not be any
to let it slip by.
The Atlanta newspapers chronicle an
account OF a Habeus Corpus proceeding
in the courts for the custody Of child
ia which J. McSwain Woods, Esq,
figured as attorney for the mother o!
the child against a member of the ia
nous firm OF Anderson, Fielder, Roun'
tree and Wilson who represented the
father seeking the possession OF the
child. Mr.. Woods won his case. The
parents of the child are Mr.. and Mrs.
Jacob whitman formerly of Charleston,
the former was at one time city OH
cial. The thing which Interests more
than anything else in this matter is
that q Clarendon young man should
have gone up against such prominent
firm of lawyers in a legal battle and
come out first best. The Mr.. Fielder OF
this firm is the notorious r. B. Fielder
for whom a recuisitioD from South
Carolina was refused by the governor
OF Georgia.
