A Busy Day in Manning--People from All Over the County--0.00 Pounds Of Tobacco Sold--Manning Step ping to the Front. The tobacco warehouse on last Thursday evening was the most pop ular place in town and under the brilliant lighted chandeliers beauti ful women and handsome men prom enaded up and down expressing their admiration and appreciation for the elegantly appointed iustitution which is expected to bring gladness and prosperity into our midst. Early in the evening wagons began arriv ing loaded with the golden leaf and comparitively a new product in this section; ou these wagons were the sun-brown honest faces of toilingi farmers who came here to lend a helping hand towards inaking. Man uirg a tobacco market. Some of these came from distances of fortyr miles. The stream continued comn ing all night and at daylight the yardway was full and many wagons had to stay in the street. The scene at the warehouse on last Friday morning will not be for gotten soon. Just think of it, nearly 30,000 pounds of tobacco on the floor at one time and nearly $2000 in cash paid out to be put in circulation. Manning has at last awoke from her lethargy to join the progressive march. The procession was formed, and under the leadership of experienced C captains the march was begun under I flattering and auspicious circum stances. Indeed the day will be re membered in the future as an occa sion marking a new era in the histo- 1 of our lovely town. For weeks Mr. E. L Wilkins and his assistants have been working hard to get every thing in shape for the opening tobac- t Do sale on the 21st. Col. G. E. Webb, o the Winston warehouseman, had I been secured to help organize, and a that gentleman was on hand several days bfore the opening to lend his assistance. b The warehouse, by the way tobaca e Do men say, is the handsomest in the c State, was cleaned out, and on Thursday night was brightly illu minated and ready for the reception of the weed. Tobacco began to come o in Thursday afternoon and by 10 n o'clock Friday morning the floor was j Dovered with the golden plant. The old town turned out in holiday attire to witness what they had never seen before-a tobacco sale. A Promptly at 11 o'clock Col. Webb mounted a truck and announced to t the people that the sale was ready to begin. The Colonel then addressed himself to the farmers and explained to them that the Manning market was ready to pay them the market prices for their tobacco. He told them that in. the first place prices I were not as high as last year and in I the second place the quality of to- f bacco was not as good, so they could not expect last year's prices. Col. Webb then told the ladies present that he was not always as ugly as he was when selling tobacco and then A the music began. Col. Webb began p to rattle off bids at a lively rate, in a a ing song tone that was amusing to b bhe visitors and that gave animation to the sale. 0 Bidding was lively and it was soon 3vident that while prices were not b ip top, they were some better than a they were at Sumter, Florence, and other points, so said men who were present at the opening sales at these t places. Many farmers were not a pleased while others were entirely b satisfied. This we learn was the case c mnd is generally the case at all open- ~ ing sales. The fact remains, how aver, that the Manning tobacco mar tet is toibe a fixed permanent insti- h ;ution, and the management will see ti ;hat the interest of the farmers shallig e protected. .t 'Mr. E. L. Wilkins, the mianager,. secretary and treasurer of the Clar- C ndon Warehouse and Supply Co., leserves special mention in connee ion with the organization of the narket. He' has labored unceasingly b :o get the people interested, and in tl placing the market on a firm, perma- ft aent basis. It was gratifying to see KIr. Wilkins last Friday enter upon ~he discharge of his duties like an >ld warehouse veteran. He was here, fI here and everywhere keeping a a] ;harp lookout over everything with ei t kind word for everyone. i Mr. Clarence Wilkins was offie ,oss, assisted by Messrs. Cabell S Smith, Riley Strange and I. I.

How sand Hils Grow. i A sand hill is not "made" so much s fl planted. Wherever a patch of "marrum b2 grass" takes root, there the sand blown i1 from the great bank gathers round it. cl As the sand spreads, the grass grows tl through it, until the hard dry blades form the nucleus of thousands of tons of "hills." Near flolkham bay there lag' not 40 years ago a wet "lake" inuideul the high sand. There the "gunners" used to hide for curlew, digging holes~ o and filling them with "mnarrum grass" s to make them dry and comfortable. fr This grass took root, the sand gathered j round, and where the "lake" lay is now a tumultuous mass of rounded hillooks, j, rising 20 feet above high water level built by the "marrum grass" from the i surplus driftings of the mighty sand. rmnn Spectator.1 REU010U8 THOUHTS. I am riAdful of tie fact that I promised those whose eyes might perchance glance over this coiumrn, mY views or impr'essions as to the re ligious intluence at this place. I al Co9St !egri'et havir" 1d09 QSUCL Z. pmis. However, I sIhal be true to y word, so I wil be,. wtb There are in this pmall place two yhurches, one a Presbyterian, with Rev. Mr. James as pastor. This - is :omparatively a new church and ;eems to be in a thriving condition. Che services are well attended by the nenbers and the people living near t, but it is attended :ery little by he visiting people. In this church here is some kind of service three >r four times a day. In the morning 3t 11 a. m. the regular preaching ervice is conducted by some one. rhe pastor only preaches twice a nonth. At four o'clock is the regau ar Sunday school, and at. bali-past ive the meeting of the society of hristian Endeavor. At 8:30 some ne preaches, sometimes a visiting ainister. But the oldost church here is the EPI.COPAL CHUCn, - - aving been established in 1850. he membership of this church is ot so large as the Presbyterians, yet ey have a good large congregation f members and visitors. Rev. Mr. IcCollough is the paster. Service's re conducted in their usual manner wice each month. The Methodist ave no church, but worship twice ach month in the Presbyterian hurch. There are only a few Meth dist here. Rev. Mr. Speignal is do g the mission work of the Meth dist at this place. The Baptist have o services here, yet there are a few ,aptist scattered here and there. .bout three miles from the Springs ; a large Baptist church, in a most ourishing condition. Let me say a word in passing about VISITING MINISTERS. There are now at the Springs Dr. . T.Planket, Pastor of the first Pres yterian church in Augusta, Ga.; 'ev. Mr. Murchison, a student in the 'resbyterian school at Columbia, and ev. Mr. Henderson, of the same lace; Rev. L. M. Rice, of Union aptist church, aud Dr. Lausing urrows, of the first Baptist church ugusta Ga. Dr. Burrows, after reaching on Sunday was taken sick d retarned to his home. And last ut not least, is Dr. Lucus :Cuthburt, l the first church of Charleston. There a altogether about three ndred and fifty people bere from Lpgrts of.the country. Among the reat nuiber of visitors there seems >be no c~mpunctions of conscience, s to religioius:duty, for all seem'tI ave left their religion at home. For I ut of the possible three hundred andj t visitors, only about fifty at-[ m'ded church last Suny. From1 londay morning to Satucdiay thc me is spent in playing games and . ing to the Springs. It is no strange lng to see church members of all enominations around a table 2LnTLso cAmD. Even the small children fromi six eight and ten are found doing the o same thing as their muothers and athers, hence the children arc being -ained to play cards, which in itself ow, may be no harm?, but the mndation upon which gamblers tways build is laid, a thirst is creat 3, the mind is drawing to tahvorld -amusements, and there is fertile >il for future deeds. How often ave criminals from the gallowvs sent arning to their friends to beware E cards; cards are but stepping Xoses to crime and dishonesty, and et I am told that "all the city urches do not say anything about ird playing." I have heard a city jinister talk sincerely to favor card laying, since I have been here, and 'hose son does play.If it is true that ity ministers lay aside the teaching ad the spirit of the Bible, and what ust be conviction of conscience at 1e feet of established wrong, then I less God that I have no city church, ut a plain village church where brist is loved, worshiped and hon red. The reason that some of these peo le do not attend church is this. They w "too hot" and yet I have known yme of these same persons, in the idst of the hottest night that ugust has yet produced, hugged .ose in the embrace of man, and pen the floor of the "dancing Hall" til and whirl and whir), until the ight is far spent. And do you be-t eve me that some of these are hurch members, my God! what will et become of the church and her afluence? And again I am imformed iat the city churches do not say ythig about the dance, the great erman Ball" afraid that the preach may step on the toes of some one iere in guilt. I am told by a dear ood sister Baptist that "the city astors have to be very careful, and ot say anything about card playing, ancing and- worldliness in the aurch." Pray tell me what do the inisters preach?; they must give itf the Mormons. So I talked amongj 2e ministers and the different church, iembers here, and learn of the loose, reless way into which the churches ave fallen, I do bless God for my Id home church, I long to breathe ne more the pure air of spirituality. thank the Lord for the dear good ople with whom I br though iyself young and u'nexperiencedl, ey have rallied around cuz com ion standard, and in God's !.ame I elieve that the spiritual -.od-tide higher, in the Manniug Baptist aurch than in many' othem.rs. with miir doings and schemes.

She said, "Oh, it is so dark, I can't pray, I can't trust, Jesus has forsaken me." I talked, read, prayed and did all in my power to lead ber into the light of Christ Jesus. I read from the 14th Chapter of John, "If you love me keep my commandment." As I read these words she said "wait." I have lisobeyed God's command, against bat I knew to be true. I have not been baptized. I always wanted to be immersed." After further conversation and prayer I left her. Next day I re ,urned only to find her almost gone, iut on her face was vo trace of doubt. With great difficulty she said, "It's ill right." I bid her good-bye to neet only in the beyond, "Where the iarges cease to roll." N- e0 HOW'S THIS!
