On last Sunday evening there was a
prohibition rally at the Methodist
church which was well attended, and
several speeches made. Among the
speakers were Rey. +. A. Ansley, pas
tor of the Manning Baptist church,
Charlton DpRant, Esq, Mrs. Joseph
Sprott, and Mr.. Robert j: Alderman OF
Alcolu. We understand that the
speech of Mr.. Alderman was not in line
with the other speakers, he took a, po-
sition which appealed to many OF his
hearers because of its catholic spirit.
A request was made of US to secure q
copy of Mr.. Alderuau's remarks for
publication, but it has not been furnish
ed US so far, when it is, we shall gladly
publish it.
The chances for new railroad COM
ing to Manning are not as bright as we
should like, and the financial conditions
are not interfering either. This IS the
opinion of men who are in position to
know something about railroad bulid-
ing, and the promoters OF railroads. It
has been the writer's desire to connect
with finapciers with a view OF interest
ing them in giving to Manning addl-
tional railroad facilities, especially
since We heard the project for which
the town is prepared to issue bonds
in grave doubt, and il all probability
will not materialize. We have fnan-
cial reasons at least to hope differently,
at least. the price of labor already per-
formed. But perhaps the Treasurer
has gone to the war.
Married at Bishopville yesterday,
Mr.. Morris Ness, q prominent young
business man of Manning, and Miss
Racheal Levy of Bishopville. Rabbi
J. Simonhotf OF Charleston performed
the ceremony in the presence OF a large
congregation in the opera house, after
which there was an elaborate reception
at the home of the brides parents, at
tended by a large number OF guests
from New York, Sumter, Charleston
and Manning. Mr.. Bennie Ness,
brother of the groom was the best man,
and Miss Mary Karesh of Charleston
the maid of honor. The couple will
take bridal tour, afterwhich they will
make their home in Manning, and re-
ceiqe the congratulations OF the grooms
friends here.
Mr.. E. C. Gross and family have
moved into their new home just COM
pleted on South Church street, one OF
the incest residential sections OF the
town. This family came to Manning
about two years ago, selected by Mr..
Gross as central point TO distribute
his famous Watkins remedies, and he
has built up such a large patronage
that he has decided to make Manning
his permanent home, and the people
here are delighted with his decision;
the Crosses are excellent people, and
splendid acquisition to the town. Their
new bone is one of the most substan-
tial in the town, connodious, as we'll

citizens. Would that Georgia could
spare to US more ike him.
The picture presented by the Pastime
Theatre from the works of Charles
Dickens with Tom Terriss as the star
was SO pleasing that Mr.. Wildman the
manager has decided to present on
next Friday afternoon.and evening, an
other high class picture in 5 reels en-
titled ssThe Great Stroke" This is
one of the best of the World Film Cor
poration pictures gotten up at q great
cost of money, and 10 it there IS pre-.
senSed the acting of notab!es OF che
American and English stage. It is
worth packing the house to see, as It
affords entertainment of high degree,
and combining romance with the
machinaticns of sordid greed. and iu-
trigue, desperation and theft, confession
and forgiveness. We have never seen
this picture but a talk with one who
has, we are satisfied the money spent
next Friday afternoon and evening at
the Passime will not be regretted.
