The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1912-09-25
There have been several surveys

| Ihere nave OeeQ SeVeral survey ,
made for the prospective railroad
which is believed will pass through
this town on the way to the sea coast.
We heard there has been a party OF
surveyors going out from Ferguson to-
wards Charleston, and another party
making tentative measurements from
Sumter towards Alcolu and Manning.
What there IS in these rumors We can
not vouch for, except to say that we
believe the seaboard railroad will come
to Manning before the next twelve
months, and before two years it will be
passing through Manning on its way to
Charleston.
Mr.. C. E. JoYe of the firm of G. E.
Joye g. Bro. of New Zion was in Man
ming this morning, and we called his
attention to the news item Of the News
and Courier which we reproduce in
this issue. He said that in August he
was in restaurant in Charleston for
meal, that there he washed his hands
he hung up his coat, stranger took
from mis- coat pocket check book, and
made out three checks payable to
"Cash" and endorsed his name on them
the bank cashed two of the checks each
for $1,000, but the third check has not
shown up. The Chief OF Police arrest
ed the man and he will be tried in
Charleston. Mr.. Joye- says the man
claims that he gave him the checks,
but he says be would not know him,
having never seen the man.

Stamp Co., has to say to the trading
| public in this issue, and then go to the
Stores where these stamps are given

what of saving to those who buy goods

this gold bond stamp to give away to
their customers, and with this as with
every thing handled by this concern
the public is taken into the deal The
management does not fear to let the
public know what is offered to the trade
and it uses the very best means to keep
the patrons informed of what's in stock

The attention of The Times readers
is called to the half page advertisement
of the D. J. Chandler Clothing Comp
any of Sumter, concern well and IA
vorably known throughout this and ad-
joining counties, one which by its deal
ings has built up reputation and a
trade that is very gratifying to those
concerned and it is by their constant
looking after the needs of their pat
rons that they continue to enjoy an I'M
mense patronage. The D. J. Chandler
Company is now located in new home
and it is certainly an ideal clothing and
gents furnishing emporium, every
thing is built to fit and the stock is so
placed that the casual observer can
easily find what he or she wants with
out the tiresome experience OF going
through torn up pile OF goods. There
is no superior establishment in the
State for mems, youths and boys wear.

The court Of common pleas began
here last Monday with the case OF
Hunter against the D. W. Alderman &
Sons Company, suit for $4,000 damages
for personal injury done the plaintiff
while in the employ of the defendant
company. This is the third time the
case has been tried, once it resulted in
a mistrial, another time the defendant
was given a verdict for $4,000 from
which verdict the case was appealed
and the supreme court granted a new
trial. The case is being hard fought by
both sides. Mr.. Hunter is represented
by Jennings and Epps of the Sumter
bar, and S. O. O'Bryan of the Manning
bar. and the defendant company is rep
resented by Charlton DuIfant, ESQ,
and Capt. W. G. Davis of the Manning
bar. Each step is being strongly con-
tested on both sides. There was much
technical testimony relating to the con-
struction and the operation of saw mills,
together with other expert testimony
relating to the condition of an injury
after it had healed and become sound,
occasionally there were some sharp pas
sages between the lawyers on matters
of the admission Of certain testimony.
The argument was made Yesterday af-
ternoon, and this morning the Judge
charged the jury. The jury found in
favor of the defendant.
