iouS time.
Died last Thursday night at her home
in Turbeville, Mrs. jamie Buddin, aged
II years, wife of Mr.. Jesse NJ. Buddin.
! The deceased was married last Decem.
Der, and was general favorite in her
community. Mrs. Buddln had been i'll
about three weeks, and all that medl-
cal skill and devoted attention could do
was done, but it was not to be and she
was taken to her eternal home. Be.
fore her marriage she was Miss JAMIE
Turbevilie, a daughter OF the late S. G..
Turbeville, and she leaves surviving
Two sisters, Mrs I. n. Pittman, Miss
Marie Turbeville, and five brothers,
Messrs. Daniel, John, David. nike and
Sam. The funeral was conducted by
her pastor Rev. P. K. Rhoad, and the
interrment took place in the church
yard of the Pine Grove Methodist
church, of which church she was
member.
Messrs. E. C. Glenn of louisiana,
and D. P Brown of Texas, interested in
the Carolina Cypress Company, with
headquarters at Charleston, were in
Manning yesterday on their way out to
their property interests. This company
owns the lands in Dials Bay, Woods
Mills Bay, and large quantity in
Black River. Mr.. Glenn's business at
present is to find suitable location for
his plant, which he says will have q
pay roll of about SIG, 900. per month land
the plant will cost in the neighborhood
of 5000, 600. One of the troubles he is
experiencing is TO get his plant so loca-
ted that he will not run counter to the
rulings OF the interstate railroad com.
mission. and the tap line decision OF
the supreme court. His company may
have to build railroad. if it does he
thinks favorably of bringing it on to
Manning, providing he can secure con
cessions from the landowners along the
route. Manning needs enterprises, and
it is to be hopedsMr. Glenn's company
viii receive every encouragement to
locate here.
To acquaiut ourself with the experts
report to the grand jury We went to
the Office of the clerk of court and read
it over. but we must confess that we
are unable to glean much information
from it. The document is a large one
and it viii take member OF the grand
Jury or expert to explain its many ram
i6cations. The most we can gather be
assumes the county is involved in debt.
There is nothing in the report to indi-
cate any misappropriation of funds. but
the county is in debt. This expert
makes a number of recommendations
which may or may not be needed. We
know of one that will 60 unheeded.
that is, where he recommends a pro-
vision for s1,500 for the court house
bonds. Mr.. Searson claims the present
provision is inadequate, that the
money raised from taxation will not
pay the interest and pay off the bonds.
N. W. Harris & Co. of New York, the
purchasers OF the bonds think differ
emily, they bought the bonds and paid
out their good money for them, and vel
hardly think they would be handing
to Clarendon county $4,000 without
first having made a thorough investi.
CATION to know whether proper
provision has been made to pay the
debt at the expiration of the time. Butt
some Of our local mathematicians have
been considering Mr.. Searson's court
house bond recommendation, they say
be IS away off in his count, instead OF
raising only the necessary amount to
i;oridate the debt. the amount raised
as per his recommendation, would be
sac in excess Of what will be necessary.
