The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1911-05-24

MIR. and Mrs. George kellar, OF
Orapgeburg, are visiting the family OF
MIR. A. I. Barron.
Mrs. n. G. Gonzales, of Columbia
arrived in Manning this morning.
The swelling price OF the futuge cot
ton market and the increased price OF
spots is inducing many spectators to
communicate with the cotton center by
wire Wonder if there are any in this
county who are specuiatlng in cotton:
There were several revenue men in
town last week, and these officers also
visited other parts of the county: so
far as we can learn they did not find
anything which would indicate a viola
tion Of the liquor laws. These officers
made special examination of the drug
stores because they had received in
formation that an Illicit sale OF alco-
holic goods was being sold, but they
found no signs Of it: other than the
usual compounds generally handled in
such stores. In Summervile these same
officers ran upon a beverage called
"bounce" and on examination they
found it to contain sufficient alcohol to
come within the law, therefore they
made those in possession OF it pay the
internal revenue license. 1t is said they
raised in that town about $1,000 for
Uncle Sam, and if the town authorities
and the State authorities also take a
hand in the game the ''oounce" sellers
of Summerville will have & hard time.
The concerns that sold this stuff to the
dealers represented it as being non
alcoholic and not subject to the revenue
license. nor in violation OF the State
laws. These should be handled il the
law has been violated: they at least
should be made to pay back to the small
dealer the amount required of him by
the government.
The Shriners took the city-by-the-sea
by storm last Thursday and as usual the
good taste of the famous hospitality Tor
which Charleston is known the world
over was manifested Everywhere the
red feZ was 10 evidence. and there were
also many white fez's to be seen: every
where the nobles assembled there was
also to be found the noblesses. Man
ming was largely represented in the
class OF novices. and it was a sight TO
see some OF our most prominent young
men on the streets OF the historic city
dressed in the uniform of a convict,
anu then what they did for these gents
on the island was Il caution to the
natives. we believe they will always
have something TO look back TO fo: the
rest 0: their natural lives; this was an
experience that taught our young
friends lesson which convinced them
that it will not always do 10 depend on
friends in time of need, ncr will it do
to believe all of the many professions
Of goodwill made, in other words. the
public demonstration of the shrine is 4
ciuch-for those on the outside looking
in. but to those who are getting first
experience it is 4 perspiration even
though it took place in an ice house.
The Manning bunch that travelled the
sands of the desert, and which they
with one accord viii testify was ho5
were: D. Levi, T. p. Erwin. Jake Vein
berg, Leon Weinberg, Milton Vein
berg. c. S. Rig5y, Alphonso Rigoy,
.Nvin Rigby, Jake Iseman and +. D.
Cothran. The aggregation is back
home hale and hearty from one Of the
most strenuous experiences they have
had in many moons.
