MOVEMENT FOR HOTEL
Seems At STANDST|LL
Proposition Does Not Meet With Much
Approval.

1t looks as though Manning is
doomed to be without a hotel in the
very near future. In business .way
TINS gives the town the veriest kind
OF black cye-although the proper
effort has been made by several of
our public-spirited citizens to raise
enough money or pledges to go ahead
"lth the purchase of site and get
estimates on the erection of a suitable
building. They made thorough can
vass of the city and were unable to
raise the sum of $4,000 although the
expectation was to raise at least S1OO,-
oo0. a meeting Of those who had
subscribed to stock was held some
time later and proposition was made
10 the stockholders by Mr.. Leon Vein
been subscribed be turned over to him
at low rate Of interest and he wouid
consider the erection of couple of ad.
dltlonal stories over his store and the
barber shop of Mr.. Joe Wells. This
proposition was taken under advise
ncnt but so far we have heard nothing
definite. ''''''h
But here is a question: "What does
Manning want with an elaborate
hotal?" AS general rule a big hotel
will absolutely not pay except in n
very large city. Take DARLINGTON for
instance. We understand that inst
TWO or three years ago they built -
beautiful hotel building costing about
5000. Today the bank that loaned
the money is the owner a hotel with
hfteen OF twenty bedrooms would be
perfectly adequate for Manning. Then
why the claborateness
The following has suggested itself
TO us several times, especially since
the hotel situation has become acute,
why not purchase Il large lot as near
the business section as possible, move
the old hotel and rcmoGel it. making
it cozy and place to De glad to be
able to spend a night at. The aver
age travelling man does not care for a
large ornamental lobby, with uni
formed bell hops. He wants a good
soft bed, plenty of light and fresh MI,
and good eats. We believe that these
| can be furnished at cost of consider
ably less than $4,000 or 100000.
We believe with the above conyen-
fences 80 per cent Of the travelling
! men would prefer to rest On a big
| wide veranda with plenty of shade
| trees than in stutfy LOBBY, where the
the remomcter is registering around

| ring up the sitting air. Then in the
winter time with nice cheerful room.
! admitting plenty of Gods greatest
| gift-sunlight. than in an inside room
| with the clectrics burning at 3 D. m.
Don't you agree with us? Consider
| it.

In this connection Is it intcrcstilu

Pure Food Grocery has installed a
saitary meat market in his store. Mr..
Breedin will keep at all times the
very choicest western beef. this carry

great move for Manning, inasmuch
that we will know we are getting beef
that has been perfectly healthy when
slaughtered. The meat department is
enclosed by fly-proof screen and
everything will be conducted in an
absolutly sanitary manner.

SHERWOOD CLAIMS
REJECTED ON Vote
But Lack of Quorum Blocks Final Ac-
ton on Contest.
sToLL VICTORY APPARENT
Was About to Be Declared Nominee
in Sixth by Majority of
rs Votes

Columbia, Sept. 23.-When the
State Democratic Executive Com
mittee meeting here today to con-
slider the protests filed in connection
with the second primary election for
Congress from the Sixth District, had
decided tonight at $3.50 o'clock by a
vote of II to 8, to throw out the pro-
test made by J. E. Sherwood, Of Con-
way, against alleged irregularities
and fraudulent votes in the box at An
drews, Georgetown county and to can
vass the returns and declare the re-
suit, point Of no quorum was sus-
tanned by John Gary Evans, chair
man; and the proceedings were stop
ped. If the point had not been made,
p. H. Stoll,of Kingstree, would have
been declared the nominee by a major
,ity of twenty-five votes. The secretary,
Ashley G. Tobias, Jr., was instructed
to call the membership of the COM
mittee of forty-four members to Co
lumbia for the recessed meeting.
The principal protest filed today was
that Of J. T. Sherwood, who alleged
that fifty-four irregular and fraudu-
lent votes had been cast. at Andrews
forty-five of them for Mr.. Stoll and
nine for Mr.. Sherwood. He asked that
the club be purged, which if done
would give. him a majority of eleven
votes in. the district. The other Sher-
wood protest, that Of Carvers Bay pre-
cinct, box No. |, for writing the
names Of candidates on illegal ballots
was dismissed by the committee, be,
cause the regular ballotsthroug h an
oversight, were not suppliedthe pre-
cinct. .,...
Because there had been a recount in
was found that seventy soldier votes
had been counted twice and seventy
of these votes had beendeducted from
Mr.. Shcrwood's majority, Mr.. Stol
withdrew his protest relative to Horny
County as he claimed his contention
had been met.
Tonight after the motion of the
executive committeeman from Edge
field County had been carried to dis
miss the Sherwood protest because
there was not enough evidence to show
sufficient fraud to change the result
of the election, and to declare tho
results, l.. d. Jennings, of Sumter, at
torney forMr. Sherwood, raised the
point of no quorum. When it was
pointed out byMr Padgett that Mr.
jennings point could not be con
sidercd because he was not a member
Of the committee it was renewed by
G. A Guignard, executive committee
man from Lexington county.
