Bamberg-Ehrhardt Railway Depot

Lumber is being hauled prepara-
tory to the beginning of the erection
of the depot for the Bamberg and
Ehrhardt railroad. The depot will
be located on the vacant lot in the
rear of the city power plant. The
lot has been greatly improved and
drained, and will be most attractive
site for the station. Within a few
days work will be begun on the sta
ton, and pushed rapidly to compile
ton. The railroad will soon be open
to traffic. with regular schedule of
trains between Bamberg and Ehr-
hardt. The new road will be a well
come addition to both Ehrhardt and
Bamberg, and will doubtless be a
great factor in the development of
both of the towns and the country
through which it passes. The plans
for the depot call for very neat and
commodious building.

Wanderers Rest.

Wander's Rest, August 29.-And
the worst is yet to come! My, my,
what a prospect! Can it be worse
than now, trust not, with visions OF
hope, peace and love in his eyes and
heart. with plenty of riches thrown
in and each one to dwell under his
own vine and fig tree with the cool
breezes making soft music as it moves
the leaves to and fro. Now these
fond hopes and illusions are gone,
war, cruel war, is stalking over half
the world, wanton waste of human
life, destruction of property, the toll
of millions gone, and even here In
our own America, avarice and greed
is the 60. Tighten the screws on
sugar, food of all kinds, but cotton,
a purely Southern product, is cut be-
low cost of production, and seed that
makes the oil, they, too, are down.
Guess our fnanciers think the peo-
pie won't need clothing, nor oil, but
can eat bread and meat more than
ever, and the babies and children
more sugar, and the older ones more
in their coffee and tea to sweeten
their dispositions made sour by the
things that be.
And the worst is yet to come! Will
an old man again see the day when
he will have big hominy for break
fast, corn bread and COW peas for
dinner, without salt, and go to bed
for supper, as was the case after our
very uncivil war of the sixties, near
ly all go barefoot and the winsome
lassies vie with each other as to
which could weave the prettiest pat
tern on the hand loom. or make the
most charming dress out of calico or
have the ruddiest glow on her cheeks
walking five miles to church or to a
neighboring home. Maybe so, but

dress, ways of locomotion and who
can do the least and have the most
out Of it. Hope not, but time will
tell, and now that the political sky
is brighter and only few are or Will
be disgruntled, hope we all will pull
together for the betterment of all,
and warehouses full of cotton, the
pride of a southerner's life. How he

I can eat, also my neighbors in town,
SOW grain, more pigs, calves. poul-

an old man feels it in his bones, a
good day is coming, amid song OF
birds and blooming of flowers, barns
full, peace and plenty for all.

THE TRUTH ABOUT MANNING.

We neighbors of Mr.. R. 1. Man
ming, hereby testify that the follow
ing facts with regard to him are cor
rect:
Sumter, August 29: Richard 1.
Manning, of this city, who will make
the second race for Governor, is what
is> generally termed a "self-made'
man. He has worked his way from
the bottom rung of the ladder, start
ing his career in very humble man
ner. He is above all else a farmer,
not theoretically but practically. The
story CT his early life is one Of strug-
giles to make way in the world.
In 1880 Mr.. Manning, then 22
years Of age, started to farm on a
Door, sandy farm. The land was un-
improved, the crops were small and
it was hard living at that period. Mr.
Manning worked three plows on his
farm. In 1881 he was married. In
that very year there was general
crop disaster resulting in heavy
loss TO the farmers in which Mr..
Manning shared.
The disaster of 1881 caused Mr..
Manning to give up his farm and
work for someone else. He left his
own farm and moved to the place
Of another which he worked on
shares. At that time he liyed in a
two-room house with a shed room.
1t was necessary that he should live
in a most economical manner. At
every turn he had to economic IN
order to make ends meet. A small
wagon with spring seat took the
place of a buggy on the farm. When
he was able to purchase a $50 buggy
Mr., Manning conceived that to be
luxury at that time.
The struggle lasted for several
years, but each year from then on
there was improvement in the crops
made and Mr.. Manning was able to
make a little more than the neces-
sary living expenses, gradually in
creasing his farming operations.
By the exercise of care, economy
and industry, Mr.. Manning was able
to. by degrees, increase his savings
and sometime later he moved back
to his own farm. Here he farmed
for eighteen years. At the end Of
that time, after years of struggling,
Mr.. Manning's activities became
wider and larger and then it could
be said that he was successful and
beginning to prosper little.
Later on he was elected president
of the Bank of Sumter on account of
his success in business That bank
has already done a large business
with farmers and a good share of the
stock in this bank is owned by farm
ers.
Undoubtedly, Mr.. Manning has ac-
cumulated what property he has by
his own exertion, industry and good
management.
In all movements affecting the
farming interests Of the State Mr..
Manning has been in the front ranks
to help. He has worked hard on the
cotton holding plan, has advocated
the proper warehousing of cotton so
that the farmer might obtain better
price for the staple and has always
aided in movements to finance the
cotton crop. He is president of a
cotton warehouse in his home coun-
ty, and his main interest now as al
ways, is farming.
Not only locally but throughout
the State has Mr.. Manning watched
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1914-09-03

out for the farming interests. Ever
alert and active in any move looking
to the betterment Of rural conditions,
he has given his best thought as
trustee Of Clemson College to build
ing up that farmers institution,
which teaches agriculture to the
youth of the State. He is chairman or
the fertilizer board of Clemson, and
here again he is watchful Of the far
mers' interests. The State Fair is
another agricultural institution with
which Mr.. Manning has been identi-
fed for many years.
Mr.. Manning is first farmer ana
next a business man. He manages
his own farm now and he knows in
timately rural coditions. A success
full farmer, business man of WIDE
experience, Mr.. Manning would be
able as governor to work for all the
people Of this State.

Notwithstanding the depression in
the cotton market, quite a good deal
of cotton is being placed on the mar
ket here, something over 500 bales
having been weighed by Cotton
Weigher Steedley up to Saturday
night. There is very little demand
for cotton at any price, but the mer-
chants in the town are paying about
standard quotations where the money
is applied on accounts. Where cash
is paid a price considerably under
quotations is offered.
Notwithstanding the fact that a
number Of new dwellings are being
erected in Bamberg, the demand is
greater than the supply. Possibly
a half dozen modest cottages could
be rented at this time if there were
any. The town should not want for
cottages for newcomers. Every fam
lily moving to Bamberg is an asset to
the city and furnish an increase in
the amount of business done. There
is a splendid opportunity open for
investors at this time.
