MANY VISIT MANNING
And View the Destruction Caus-
ed by Fridays Storm.

Last Sunday quite number OF
Kingstree citizens went over tc
Manning to see the destruction
wrought by the storm that visited
our neighboring city the previous
Friday afternoon. There were also
number of visitors from Sumter,
Florence, Scranton, Lake City and
other points and perhaps the largest
number of automobiles ever seen in
that town was there Sunday. Among
those who went over from Kingstree
was representative of The Record.
He took in the town pretty thorough
ly and noted the extent of the dam
age by wind and rain. The reports
published in the daily papers Satur-
day were not in the least exag1erat-
ed. In fact, these reports were sent
out so soon after the storm that a
full conception of the actual destruc-
ton was hardly obtainable then.
There were between fifty and sixty
buildings either completely demol-
ished or badly damaged, and it
struck US as miracle as we viewed
the wreckage of fallen walls and
roofs that only four persons were
killed and so few injured.
Several stores were unroofed and
the down-pour of rain caused con-
siderable damage to merchandise.
Large trees in the path of the storm
were torn off and several buildings
lifted from their foundation; among
these we noted the large Touring
mill which was scarcely completed.
One of the most peculiar freaks of
the wind was the driving of piece
of plank, about "a inches long, into
an electric light pole so securely
that it held up the weight of a two
hundred pound man.
While we deeply sympathise with
our Manning neighbors, we must
congratulate them for their bravery
and courage through such trying
circumstances. With the main busi-
ness section of their town reduced
to a mass of tangled debris, they
seemed strong.hearted and cheerful
and many were at work Sunday try
ing to get together and in market
able shape such goods and merchan-
disc as the fury of the storm had
left them.
During many years to come sad
memories of this tornado's destruc-
tive work will remain in the hearts
and minds of her people, but they
will not be deferred in their efforts
to rebuild a bigger and better Man
ming.
