The cotton crop in the Santee section
of this county has been badly damaged
and in some places it is estimated that
not over one-third of the crop will be
made. We have heard of one man's
crop in St. Mark's township that is al
most a total loss and another in St.
Paul who neither spares time nor
monev on his lands, that will not make
over a one-third crop. This is not en
couraging news for those who depend
on the cotton crop. The tobacco crops
are in a very fine condition and if the
prices are fair our tobacco planters will
be in a better condition than those who
plant cotton.

Sergeant A. C. Davis' letters in THE

ing to create a sensation he gave it out
that "Coke" Davis has deserted the
United States army- and accepted a
ommission as general in the Filipino

piece of startling news must have
thought that "Coke" Davis was a can
didate for some office to be voted for in
the coming primary.

The D. W. Alderman Sons Co. had
quite a large confiagration at their
mills at Alcolu last Sunday. About 2
o'clock in the afternoon fire broke out
in the boiler shed, caused, it is sup
posed, from a spark from one of the
smoke stacks, and. although there was
a watchman on the premises and a first
class arrangement to extinguish fire,
the flames were so fierce and rapid that
nothing could be done, and about $S,
000 worth of property was destroyed
without one cent of insurance. The
property destroyed was the boiler
shed, machine shops, dust house and
a part of t e conveyor. The Alder
mans are careful business people and
they being without insurance is a sur'
prise to those who know their thorongh
business methods, but it is explained in
this way: The plant has as one of its
features a magnificent water works, as
good as will be found in some of our
small cities, and they keep watchmen
on the yards constantly: they also keep
steam in the boilers all of the time so
that should fire break out they will be
repared, but notwithstanding all of
these wise precautionary means the
property is also kept insured: the prop
ertv destroyed, however, happened to
be without'insurance because the con
cern was about to make some chxanges
in the arrangement of the mnachine
shops and other buildings.

Manning on a Move.
It is gratifying to note the disposition
now being manifested by those of our
citizens who have monev. There is a
spirit of "pull together- such as has
not been here in the past. This is a
healthy sign: it shows that our people
are convinced that selfishness will not
bring about progress and wealth. and
that lanning can accomplish what.
other towns have accomplished, if all
hands put their shoulder's to the wheel
and help push.
In the starting of new enterprises
obstacles can be overcome by putting
men to the front in whom the people
have confidence: when this is done aid
comes almost unsolicited. but where
men in whom the people have no confi
deuce are put in controlling positions
the people are afraid to invest. fearing
that after the project has been started,
schemes will be inaugurated to force
the small investore to discount their
stock. It often happens that stock
in corporations becomes non-paying
through no fault of the management,
but to convince people who have lost
their money that the management is
not to blame. is a task we would not like
to undertake.
The Bank of Manning has been man
aged so that its stock is sought after by
investors, and those who are so fortu
nate as to hold it will not sell. Why?
Because it has and it is still making
money.
Tobacco warehouse stock was a loss
to many of the investors, but there has
never been anything started in this
town which has been of greater benefit
to our merchants. The merchants could
have lost every cent of their warehouse
stock and then be away ahead of the
game. The tobacco warehouses brought
trade to this town which would not
have come here otherwise, and caused
piles of cash money to be spent.
Now we have a new enterprise, the
ground for which was broken last Mon
dav-the oil mill. an institution to be
managed by a man who is a natural
mechanic and an all-round business
man. He will devote his time and en
ergy to the work and if an oil mill has
money in it he will pump it out for the
investors. The fact. that Hon. Joseph
F. Rhame has been selected president
of the oil mill company inspires confi
dence, and with Mr. Frank Ervin as
manager the investors feel sure that
their interests are in safe hands.
The Loan and Exchange Bank. now
in course of organization. has nearly
one-half of its capital stock subscribed
and a good part of the stock is being
taken by farmers in various parts of the
county. The shares are small, so that
a man with small means can take some
stock without hampering him and at
the same time, should he have need to
borrow monev to carry on his business.
he can use the bank stock as collateral
-the finest kind of security. When
bank stock is used as a collateral it has
the effect of reducing the cost of money
borrowed. for. while the borrower pays
interest for that which he has bor
rowed. his bank stock is at the same
time making money for him. If this
bank is organized it will be officered by
men who have the esteem and conli
dence of the entire community, and its
purpose will be to bring more money
here and thereby make it easier for our
our farmers to buy their supplies and
fertilizers for cash.
This spirit of "pull together" has
put our people to thinking about the
building of a cotton factory, and if
there is any indication to be had by
what people say, and how they act, we
believe by the next twelve months Man
ning will afford a place of employment
for many men. women and children,
and a place where our farmers can get
a full price for their cotton, at least a
half cent more a pound, than if there
was no factory here. Besides the cot
ton, our farmers will have a place
where they can dispose of all kinds of
products which are easily raised all
through the year and receive the cash
therefor. The whole county should in
terest themselves in this project, for we
believe if Mr. W. Scott Harvin suc
ceeds in his undertaking, not only Man
ning, but Clarendon. will be wheeled
into the progressive line.
The industrial spirit is moving our
people and if it continues there is a
bright future in store for this town.
What is now needed is a land improve
ment company. an institution which
will buy up lands in the outskirts of the
town, make streets through them and
sell off lots cheap so as to be able to in
vite people to move in and build. The
way this town is situated, we may as
well be surrounded with a Chinese wall
with locks on the outer gates. We
have no houses to rent and no town lots
for sale at a price that a man of small
means can buy. This sort of thing pre
vents the town from growing up to the
necessities brought about by the im
provements. Let those who have money
get up something to develop and build
up the now idle lands in and around
Manning.

THEIR~iMARRIAGE Ah-NULLED.
An Unusual Case Decided in the Spartanbrrg
Court.
Spartanburg, S. C.. July 9, 1900.
An interesting case was heard here
before Judge A ldrich today. A mar
riage solomnnized between Iiss Fannie
V. Littlejohn and the Rev. Stephen A.
Nettles of the South Carolina confer
ence, on June 25, 1899, was declared
to be void and never to have been of
binding force. The action was brought
by Miss Littlejohn, who alleged that
ai the time of such marriage her mind
was so much impaired by reason of a
serious physical ailment that she was
incapable of understanding or of carry
ing out the marriage contract.
Almost immediately after the mar
riage she was placed under the treat
I ment of a specialist in surgery and dis
eases peculiar to women. and as a re
sult of his treatment her mind has been
I restored, and she alleges that since re
caining possession of her faculties she
Koes not wish to ratify or consummate
the marriage
The testimony was in accordance with
the allegations and while 'Miss Little
john testified that Mr. Nettles' treat
ment was very kind, she stated that
she would not assume the duties and
relationship of a wife. Under this
state of facts, Judge Aldrich held that
the alleged contract was in fact no con
tract and so adjudged.
Messrs. Duncan & Sanders represent
ed the plaintiff, and Mr- R. 0. Purdy
of Sumter represented the defendant.
P. H. F.
The above news item from Spartan
burg will be received by our readers
with sincere sorrow. Rev. S. A. Net
tles who is well known and highly re
spected by this entire community. will
have the sympathy of those who know
him, and understand his present troub
les. His troubles are of such a nature
that delicacy forbids us from saying
much about them, but from reliable in
formation we have it that 'Mr. Nettles'
marriage annullment has the sanc
tion of his church. and those who are
in a position to understand the delicate
nature of the case, and that his char
acter as a man and minister remains
unsullied.
A Night of Terror.
--Awful anxiety was felt for the widow of the
brave G eneral Burnham of Machias, Me.. when
the doctors said she could not live till morning.",
writes Mrs. S. H. Lincoln. who attended her
that fearful night. "All thought she must soon
die from pneumonia. but she begged for Dr.
ing-s Ncw Discovery, saying it had more than
once saved her life. and had cured her of con
sumption. After three small doses she slept
easily all night. and its further use completely
cured her." This marvelous medicine is guar
anteed to cure all throat. chest and lung dis
cases. Only 50e and Si. Trial bottles free at the
1R. B. Lorvea drug store.
