There is a great need of dwelling houses
for renters in this town. A gentleman de
siring to live in Manning has failed so far
to procure a suitable house to move bis
family into. We hope that the owners of

tinue much longer. If our town is to grow
people must have houses and it is a -A

not have accommodations for those who
want to come here and make up a part of
the citizenship.

In looking over the list of companies
that will make up our militia, we note with
regret that the Manning Guards are not
atong the number. It is to be hoped that
Captain Lewi~swill get into immediate coin
unication with General Floyd at once,
andi get his company enrolled. When the
comany was inspected by Colonel Frost
we baci every reason to believe that it
would he acceptedi, and the inspecting clii
cer gatve every encouragement to Captain
Lewi. We hope the absence of the Man
ning Gutardls from the Adjutant and In
specoi Gxeneral's order is an oversight.
Maningiu should have a military comipany;
it is a protection to lite and pr operty, and
the ioung men of this town shauld become

It is known that on the 9th of next
month the editor of THE TIMzs will be in
Columbia attending the duties of his office,
and of course this will necessarily take
him away from the paper. We will try to
arrange to put the paper into competent
hands, but at the same time we know that
unless a man is constantly at the helm he
will find difficulties to get up a first class
paper. We therefore beg our friends
throughout the county to come to our aid,
at least as long as we are in Columbia en
deavoring to do something for t'2e people.
We want news letters from every section of
the county, and when too late to reach us
by mail and within reach of a telephone
we would appreciate a call of THE TIMEs
office and give us what you know. Who
ever we leave in charge of THE TIMas will
greatly appreciate this aid and so will thc
readers, and so will wve. WVe want a good
lot of snappy news items. Giive them to us.

A SWORD) FOlR CAPT. BRADHIAM.
The lReeruits of the Citadel Preseid
a Ilandsome. Sword to their Captain.
Quite a nie surprise was given Cadet
Cpt. Bradham at the ('itadel Wednesday
last after dinner, when the corps was ais
sembled in the chapel of the South Ctart
lna M\ilitary Aca~Iemy. T1he recruits hat c
been holding mitny secret mecetings, andh
indulging in whispered conferences amuong
themselves for some time. It turns out
that they intended to strprise their cap
tain with a ta'ken of their esteem. After
much deliberation they decided that the
poper thing to present him would be a
sword. So tbey contribute] a handsomie
sun for this purpose. It came a few days
ago; and many tuore whispered consutta
Stions were held. As a gretat nitmy of the
cadets were going home for the holidays,
they desided to anticipate Santa Claus.
Cadet Hutchinson made the presentatt iou
After a few well chosen remarks he handed
Cpt. Bradhama the beautiful sword as a
"token of the appreciation which the re
cruit class of '99 feel for your untiring ei
forts."
Capt. Bradhami fatced the cadets and
said: "Fellow cadets of the South Cairolia
Mlilitary Academy, corps of cadets, and
gentlemen of the recruit class: In receiv
ing such an honor I know nct how to thank
you. The sunbeams of happiness reign
supreme when such generosity <xists.
Caesar, with all his power. never felt the
apreciation I now feel. Napoleon, in ail
his glory, never possessed such a dom tin
as I now survey. Such a gift is to be tde
sired not only by miyself, b-:t by any mn
who has ever trod upon the usoil of Somth
Carolina.
"But, gentlemen, there is one thinos I
wish to ask you, that you wyill ever dare to
be the men yout httve been tunder my
charge. Wherever I go, or whatever be my
condition, you can ailways find a friend in
me. I promnise you further that this sword
shall never be drawn save in honor."
T1he sword is handsome atnd richly
mounted. On one side is engritved:

Yours for a very Merry
Xmas and a Bright and
Happy -New Year,
J. RYTTENBERGi_ SONS.
Yes, it 's the same old story, we know how you feel-just don't
know what to buy for Xmas gifts. Now listen, we don't intend to
say much, but what we do say, goes. We have one of the largest
varieties of new and seasonable, also useful as well as ornamental,
stocks to select from that we have ever displayed. It makes no
difference who you may want the present for, we can please you.
All we ask is a look. Come in, make yourself at home;- if you
don't buy, you'll find just the same treatment as if you had. Space
will not permit us to mention all the different lines, so will try and
content ourselves with a few. Of course the children are first.
DOLLS!
Well, I should say so; all kinds, at any old price.
See our centre tables of toys-a great big lot of all kinds-a
snap picked up by our New York representative, a line of samples
from one of the largest importers in New York. Prices on these are
way down. An early call will mean money in your pocket. Lots
of other truck for the children. Can't call them all. Just come
and loox.
BOOKS :- BOOKS -:- BOOKS.
You know what our holiday line of books has been in the past; well,
just look at this year's line. All kinds, all prices. Publishers' prices
smashed to pieces by us.
See the books we offer at 12c. It's a wonder and no mistake.
Complete line of Chatterboxes. Wish we could tell you all we really
have in our book line, but space will not permit us.
Handkerchiefs for All.
We have the largest stock of Handkerchiefs ever displayed in these
parts. See our line Embroidered Handkerchiefs at 5c. Something like 50
styles to select from. That's pretty sweet, don't you think? Then we
have them at 10, 124, 15, 20, 25, 3.5, 40, 50, 75c and a little higher. Every line
the right stuff for the moner.
Umbrellas.
New and complete holiday line just opened. There is nothing else that
makes as nice and serviceable a present as a nice Umbrella. Just see the
line we have for both ladies and gentlemen. You'll not find their equal
elsewhere. We have marked them very close, just to make fast selling,
that's all.
Neckwear and Mufflers always acceptable. We have them, too, All the
new kinds and colors.
Last, but not least,
Groceries for the Holidays.
We have a full and complete stock, at low down prices. Before you
buy your Groceries for your cakes, give us a call. We may save you a
penny or two.
If you can't come early, come late. Our stores will remain open every
night from the 18th for your conveniepce. -
Yours for business,
