The Meetings Gsuw IN Favos.

The series OF meetings now being
conducted by Rev. 3. E. McLendon
are not only keeping up their interest,
bat the interest is growing more en-
shusiastic every day. There is not q
service but Whist people from fart and
near are present, and they 90 away
with something new, and impressed
with the greatness Of the minister.
Last Sunday night it was not our7good
fortune to be present, as we were out
Of town, but from what has been told
ps the congregation is estimated to
have been about !, 600 persons, it was
q record breaker both in attendance,
and the lesson taught. We arrived
home Monday morning, and the first
thing We heard when on our way to
business, was the comments and the
criticisms. This man Of God gave to
bis large audience his Interpretation
OF the ten commandments, and it evil
IDENTIFY went in deep because the COM
ments are varied Mr.. McLendon hiss
q faculty 70 make processing christians
OF the ip-service variety 'get out and
get UNDER" he believes in Interpreting
che great Book IS the inspired writers
intended, and not sost-pedal it with con-
vensionat phrases. In other words
Mr.. McLendon's methods are not of the
parior or Chesterfeldisn stamp. He
does not indulge 10 the diplomacy that
conventionslism is accustomed TO, but
be goes at what he came here TO do,
like We must think the pioneers of reli-
sion were want to do when they were
commanded TO 20 and preach to ali the
world. The services are not confined
to denomination, or creed; gentle and
Jew, protestant and catholic attend
these services with q CREST deal OF
pleasure, they learn much, and they
feel the inspiration of a man whom
they regard OF Divine calling, and
while they may not find all OF Mr.
McLendon's views agreeable to the
teachings OF their forefathers, yet they
realize that the differences are after all
OF detail rather than ofprinciple. and
the teachings Of the Bible are ultimate
" aimed for the same goal.

We Heed Industries.

There Is some prospect of getting
large lumber manufacturing plant in
the vicinity OF Manning, near enough
TO be of considerable aid to the COM
mercial interests of this town. Last
Friday we had a pleasant call from Mr..
+. 81. Downman OF New Orleans La..
who is at the head of the Carolina c.
press Lumber Company, that has large
timber interests in this and adjoining
counties, aud he is also at the head OF
q number OF other lan5er plants in sew
eral States, as we'll as President OF the
National Lumbermen's Association.
Mr., Downman was accompanied by
Messrs. Glenn and Brown OF whom we
mentioned last week. We regret these
gentlemen did not have time 30 allow
Us 10 introduce them to the business
men of Manning, We should have been
delighted to have our people meet
these gentlemen, because, they are 60
ing 70 establish plant In this county
for the purpose of manufacturing the
timber 10 Disls and Woods mill bays,
which v Ill mean the bringing into this
county vast sums of money. The
plant alone will cost over $500, 900 and
the pay roll will amount. according 10
their present calculations, 10 about
$4,000 per month. This money will
oenefs all OF our business institutions,
farmer, merchant, and shopman, ss
we'll as affording labor for those who
desire employment.
The location OF the plant has not yet
been de6nateiy fixed; these gentlemen
are not aversed to bringing it near
Manning, and we are endeavoring TO
have them view this point favorably.
As We said last week. their main tro1o-
le at present is railroad facilities and
sratac arrangement, if this csn be sat-
isfactorily arranged, the vicinity OF
Manning will stand q good chance to
get this establishment,
MIR. Downmsn is favoraSly impressed
| with Manning and its surroundings,
and be will return some day in the
nesr future when he will be glad to
meet the business men of this town.
The fact OF his being at the head oi
these industrial institutions is suf6cien,
70 justify us in the statement that he is
not In this country for his health, but
! is here for business, and It behooVes
all of us to give him the glad hand.
