EXPRESSIONS Of Gratitude.

Our people arc 50 shocked and de-
noralized that will not wait for any
concerted expressions, but Will hasten
to express IN their behalf our gratitude
and thanks, to so many of the physl-
clans and nurses and citizens Of Sumter
who came to our rescue last night.
With wires down and people buried in
fallen timber and brick walls and no.
body knowing how many were killed
and injured doubtless the reports which
reached Sumter were greatly exagger-
ated. Up to this time, Saturday after
noon. there are only three killed, Mr..
Beasley Davis, Miss Clara Bagger anu
a negro porter. 1t is likely that this
will cover the death roll, unless it is
Mr.. Joe Graham of Foreston. The six
or seven others injured will likely all
recover.
Sumter county is the mother OF Clar-
eudon county and Sumter CITY is Man
ning's friend. Your good people
showed US last night that Sumter
hearts are in the right place. We are
unable to express how much we ap-
preciate this noble spirit.

MAYOR BRADHAM THANKS PEOPLE
OF SUMTER.
In behalf of our stricken town and
the men who have suffered heavy loss |
wish TO thank our big-heartea Sumter
neighborS for thei: quick and hearty
response to the reported needs CT the
town of Manning. More than hund-
red automobiles bringing physicians,
solicitous friends, and even thought
fully detailed police guard, came from
Sumter. as quickly as they could -rua- :.
Similar action to that Of Sumter
was taken by Mr.. r ). Alderman. of
Alcolu, who offered to close his biz
lumber mill and send his force OF men
on his own train TO help the people OF
Manning. ...,,1 = e
Our people are deeply touched by
this and while suffering heavily in loss
of buildings ara merchandise stocks.
and the heavier loss of three lives kill
I'd outright, ana six or eight badly
hurt, we feel deep sense OF apprecia-
ton for the friendly offices Of the peo-
pie Of Sumter and Alcolu. ami closer
