THE FAIR OF THE MANN!NG
GUARDS.
The town of Manning has never,
nor is it likely that it will again in a
long time, witness a gayer, happier,
more brilliant scene than the occasior
of the Fair of the Manning Guards.
It was a success, full and complete, a
success beyond even the expectations
of its most sanguine promoters. The
Guards are delighted, their friends
are jubilant and join with them in
making merry over their victory.
As a preliminary to the Fair, the
target shooting arranged between the
Hampton Light Dragoons, the Connr
Mounted Rifles, and the Guards, took
place on Wednesday afternoon before
a large crowd, the friends of the re
spective companies. A team of ten
men from each command was selected
and a silver goblet inlaid with gold.
vas put up by the Guards to be awared
ed to the team making the largest
score. The Guards, to the surprise of
a great many, were the winners, nak
me a score of 132 out of a possible of
$00. The Connor Mounted Rifles
came next with a score of 112. This
seemed poor shooting, but the fact
must be considered tiat the compan
ies had none, or very little practice at
the most, with their rifles. Mr. Eddio
Briggs, of the Connor Mounted Rides
made the best individuail score. The
Fair proper opened Wednesday even
ing. The people began to gather at
early snudown, and by nine O'doch
the court-room was filled to its ut
most capacity. The exhibition pre
sented to the beholder at that hour
was one not soon to be forgotten. The
elaborate and exquisite decorations of
the room and the elegant costumnes of
the young lady attendaLts at the lent
onade wells, flower tables, etc., :uin
gled with the magnificent dresses of
the visiting ladies and the sober hah
iliments of their gallant beaux, niade
a lovely scene, fit for the eves to gaze
' n in admiration. The beauty and
'valry of Clarendon, with a fair rep
resentation from otl.,r counties, made
one gay festive tgrong, all joined to
gether under one common purpose,
to make the Fair of the Maiming
0uardsa grand success. The re-fresh
ment tables, dinner and desert ta es,
and every other staud on which any
'thing was to be sol, was patronized
- liberally. To the sweetest strains of
music rendered by three Italians, tle
eeling and impulse of the gay carni
valkepthappy pace to the hour of
eleven o'clock. This was the hour for
the important -irpsressive eere
ansfern to the keepig of
the Manning Guards the beautifu!
Aag presented to their predecessors
and namesakes, by the ladies of Clar
sndon in. 1861. Tbe Guards having
previously assemlied in their armory
promptly marched in the hail under
idenant Bonham, with a soldierly
tramp! tramp! and formed a .line in
the-middle of the building. Capi ainr
John C. Manning, who has been the
custodian of the flag for a number of
years, was expect-ed to mnake the pre
sengtation, but at a late hour infor:ua
tionwas received that he was una
>voidably detained at home. A t the
-nDstance of Captain Levi, J. S. Wilson,
Esq., acted for Mr. Manning. Direct
ly after the Guards had fallen into
line, Mr. Wilson with the colors in
bishgnds, stepped in front of the Comn
'pany and amid profound silence, ad
-dressed the Guards as follows :
GE3mLErE OF Tur. M1AiOsIN GrAns : In
-the absence of the generous and patriotic
doner of this beautiful slag---Captain J.n
C. Manning. the representatire of the gid
lant and chivalrous first Captain c-f the on1d
- Manning Guards, the lamented Colonel
Brown Manning, the pleasant privileige auni
high honor have been del-ga' to xme to act
in Captain Manning's st.-ad .u pro''t
to you this very appropriate and huihl
prized gift. I regret, and dioubtless you all
do, that Captain Manning eomla not be pro
ent to present these colors in per<oa. I
will'read to you his letter written toc your
Captain :
FrLTroN, S. C., April18 8I. S.
Cafin A. Levi, Commanding 3!ardg Gowrds,
ifanning, S. C.
Izan Sma: At the commencement -of the
late war, the ladies (ever first tosimat
men to deeds of valor), got up a ring for the
"Manning Guar'." which was or'anri*a
June 12th, 1862 his flag was not ready
in time, and the .nning Guards" went to
Virginia without one; and as the Guards
were the c'entre company in the Legion an d
thus the Color Company. the flag gi ven by
-the ladies never went into battle. My fath
er, who then commanded the Guards there
fore, carefully preserved the flag, and thus
it is, that I, as his representative, have the
honor to present to your command, teden2 is
a &cion of The old Mlanning Guard, your color::.
In committing this Slag t~o your keeping,
gentlemen of the '-Manning Guards,"l me
add that it was n.aade for brave men to f:ht
under, and for men who would have hoaor
ed it and protected it from dishonor wt
their lives. It now remains for you to kee1
it as pure and as unsullied as it would Lhtvc
been kept by the old "Manning Guard."
Wishing your command every success. I
am very respectfully,
JOHN C. MANNING.
Gentlemen: The sight of this flag, unai
this occasion, make our thoughts naturally
turn back to the times that are past,-mrake
them turn back and dwell upon the cause
that piompted these patriotic, generous aur
loving hands to fashion this flag, and that
ve rise to those noble impulses that
robe and swelled in the hearts of those
who inscribed upon this banner these beau
tiful and appropriate mottoes : 1'ro aris et
focis,-for our altars and firesides; a coe
-ur cordis;-with one voice; with one
heart. That es-e we all know was as dear
and sweet to the hearts of all true Sothrons
as ever cause was for which men have
died. Yes, it was the cause that createdl the
old Manning Guards-that organization
that vou now propose to p~erpetuate.
It would indeed be ve-ry pleasant to me to
even attempt to recount to you many of the
brave and heroic deeds of the old Manning
Guards; but I hae not had the opportuni
tv, owing to the short notice given me, to
o rocure the proper daa Sulfice it for me
to say, that its r-ecord is equal in galbL try
and devotion to that of any of the fatuous
companies th-at c emposed the inanuort'
Hampton Lcg - n.h two Manssas. -
