The modern woman is taking a great
interest in politics these days, and
many of them get off some very Often
| sive remarks. Recently & few women
were gathered together, and after the
usual gossip. some Of them did consid
erabie undertaking about certain
man whom they did not look upon with
political favor, but the man continues
to breathe aud have his being just the
same. '.Mr.--, IS a borrid man. 1
wish something could happen to him
that he would be forced out Of Office ~
But no explanation why the man is
s:horrid" came from the dame. She
just did not like him, why. she does
no, know, except perhaps. the man has
never spoken to her, nor expressed his
admiration Tor her exquisite form.
The meeting suggested for yesterday
afternoon to consider the waterworks
and sewerage proposition, and TO NOM
mate three commissioners for public
works, was deferred until Friday after
noon at 6 O'Clock. There assembled
Yesterday afternoon about twenty prop
erty holders who are interested in this
important matter, as every other prop
erty holder should be, but it was
thought advisable to give more public
ity TO the call for the meeting hence
Friday afternoon at 6 o'clock was
agreed upon. Let every property own
er be at this meeting as it is the most
vital of any ever held in this town be-
fore. Remember it is proposed TO issue
$40 600 in bonds and that every piece OF
property in the town is subject to taxa
tion for it.
Rev. Messrs. Walter Herbert and
W. W. Daniel, D. D., were visitors in
Manning last Sunday. DR.. Daniel.
who is president of Columbia college.
preached greatly to the delight OF the
congregations, at Manning, morning
and evening, and at Trinity in the af-
ternoou. Mr. Herbert, conference
commissioner OF education gave clear
statement of his plans to raise $4,000 O00-
600 for the Methodist colleges of S. c.
1t was his intention to begin canvass
for subscriptions to that fund, out be
was so unwell on Sunday that it was
deemed wiser for him TO consult his
physician 10 Sumter, on Monday That
gentleman advised Mr.. Herbert that he
was threatened with an attack OF ma
laria and sent him to the mountains.
Hence it will be several weeks before
be can make the canvass. His work is
prospering in most pleasing manner.
The gentlemen who have recently
been in Clarendon with a view to es-
tablishing a large lumber plant TO,
work up the timber in Dial's Bay and
Black River, have decided to begin the
erection OF one of their mills at Warn
vile in Hampton County first, and
when that is completed and 10 opera
tion they will come back to Clarendon
to again take up the matter. The!rea-
son which they give for change in
their plans, is that the railroad facili-
ties are not to their liking, and the
proper arrangements could not be
made, but they hope little later 1.-THE
railroads Will be able to give them the
concessions they need. II is not the
fault of the railroads that concessions
are not made, it seems there is ruling
of the interstate commerce commission
which prevents them from doing any
thing without the permission OF the
commission. When that permission Is
obtained it is expected that the projcc-
tors of the big manufacturing concern
will stablish one of their large plants
- Clarendou, and it is also likely they
will come near Manning. The plant
will have over 1000 men on its pay roll,
and many of them are high priced
men.
