Mayor Jennings of Sumter is out in
g strong letter in Mondays Item in
which be ranges his guns on the So
cial club system of that city. MayorJen-
nings is one of the lawyers in charge
of the dispensary side Of the contro-
versy, and while he favors the dlspen-
sary he takes the position that the
clubs where persons resort to drink
are not authorized by law. and ne
quotes the law. He calls upon all citl.
zens to aid him in the suppression OF
these unlawful places.
The tobacco buyers have all returned
to their homes we'll satisfied with their
seasons labors here. and with the con-
sciousness of knowing they have
pleased those from whom they bought.
II has been the most satisfactory sea-
son since the weed has been brought
here, aud we believe that next year
the farmers all over the county Will
plant tobacco and bring it to Manning
for sale. Manning is destined to be.
come a great tobacco center: it should
do so because surroun ding this town IS
the very soil for the growth OF tobacco.
In the last issue of The Times we re-
ferred to the Manning cotton market
as being one of the best in the State,
nothing ir the way Of change has
happened since to make US modify the
assertion in the least. There has not
been day from the time we went to
press last week up to the present mo-
ment that Manning was not up in price
with the very best Of the other mar
kets, frequently it was several points
higher. 1t is indeed gratifying 10 be
able to speak of our cotton market 10
praiseworthy terms, and when Wnat
we say is subslantiated by the work OF
the BUYERS it is pleasure to let the
farmers know Of what is being done
here.
Businessmen who watch the trend
of affairs know the value of newspaper
advertising as will be noted by the fact
that one of the livest merchants 10
this country is located at Davis Station
where he does Z tremendous voiumn OF
business. He has put on a ''Short Crop
Sale'' and that the public may know
he wants trade. he has placed Il
large advertisement in this news
paper. Mr.. Davis has adver-
tised in The Times before, and the fact
that he comes again is evidence that
it paid him. We urge our readers TO
read the advertisement of c. M. Davis
& Son of Davis Station.
A Young man giving his name as
Eugene Davis, aud claiming that his
home is in Charleston, was arrested IN
Manning last Sunday afternoon on The
charge of being drunk and disorderly
He was locked up and on Monday given
a Is day sentence on the chaiugang. 1t
also developed that this same young
man frightened a little white girl al
most senseless by meeting her in the
road while she was returning to her
home from Sunday School, it is alleged
that he grabbed hold of the child and
began dragging her, but her screams
attracted the attention OF Joe Sprott, a
co!ored man, who was on his way to
Manning, Sprott jumped out of his
buggy and rescued the child from the
man aud took her 10 her home which
was not far away. a warrant was
sworn out for the man before Magis-
trate Bradham, and as soon as the
town sentence is served the man will
have 10 face the more serious charge.
