Chief Justice Henry MeIver died at his home in Cheraw last Monday, at the of 76 years. Miss Annie Wilson of Rome is in Manning on a visit to her brother, So licitor J. S. Wilson. The bank at Kingstree made last year a clear profit of 18 per cent. This is a tine showing for a young bank. We have heard the sermon preached by Rev. A. N. Brunson last Sunday night, spoken of in high commenda tion. Dr. John C. Boyd assistant surgeon general of the navy has been visiting his brother Dr. I. N. Boyd near Greel eyville. Mr. W. M. Dye, of the U. S. mail service running between Charleston and Jacksonville was in Manning last Monday. 'News came to Manning Monday morning of the desperate illness of Mr. S. M. Nexsen near Davis, and today we learn his condition is no better. Don't fail to read Jenkinson's Red Letter Sale ad., in this issue. He is offering prices to astound the natives, and to unearth hidden treasure. Mr. Walter Johnson has accepted a sition in the store of Mr. M. Krasnoff. Mr. Johnson is a valuable man in a store and he has friends all over the county, and they say one in Georgia. Manning needs a building and loan association, which will extend its busi ness throughout the county. These are the institutions which aid greatly in ading to the development of a com munity. Mr. Itly Wilson of Rome in Wil liamsburg county was in Manning last Thursday on a visit to his brother Solicitor~ John S. Wilson. Itly is al ways welcome in Manning where he used to go to school. Mr. Ben H. Harvin has been appoint ed private secretary to Congressman elect George S. Legare. This appoint ment is merited. Mr. Harvin worked faithfully for Mr. Legare, and besides he is a tihoroughly competent man, in tellio'ent and courteous, and always a gentleman. The store of Robert DuRant, colored, in Salem near Hudson's mill was bur glarized last Wednesday night, and two of his fellow citizens Ben Tomlinson and Baker Rush are now languishing in the county jail awaiting are inves tigation to show cause why they should not go on the chaingang. A change of schedule on the A. C. L. went into effect last MAonday, which only effects the morning train. The train leaves Charleston 6:20 a. m. and arrives in Manning 8:43 This necessi tates a change in closing the morning mail at the postoffice. The mail leaves the office now at 8:15 a. mi. The correspondent of the Columbia State from this place in last Sunday's issue virtually decided the child labor question, so far as he is concerned, without waiting to hear the arguments against the measure. If all of the members of the legislature is like this one, argument and reasoning would be wasted. The legislature conyvened yesterday and as soon as it begins working we will try to keep up with it, and give to our readers each weeik a fair and im partial review of the work. We shall also presume to make such suggestions as seem to us fit, and we shall criticise that which we do not approve, always however in a spirit of fairness. The .legislature met yesterday and from the published proceedings we find the senate has annouced Hon. C. M. Davis on the following committees, contingent accounts, engrossed bills, and prencing of which committee he is chiairman. The House has not as yet announce<Yits committees. Hon. M. L. Smith of Camden was elected Speaker and Col. T. C. Hamer clerk. The death of Chief Justice Mclver was. for merly announced through a special message from the Governor, and in re spect to the memory of the distinguish-, ed jurist an adjournment was taken. Last Monday night a large audience greeted Mr. Franklin P'eake, who came here under the auspices of the Alka hest Lyceum. Mr. Peake labored un der severe disadvantages. It was a very cold night and the management failed to heat'the hall, and from the' back of the stage there was a constant draft of icy air that kept the enter tainer in a struggle to keep himself warm, thus compelling the audience too, in a large measure, to get as much warmth for themselves as they could. Mr. Peake is a fair story teller, and a better elocutionist. His rendition of the story of Damon and Pythias was very good. His impersonations of dif ferent characters-schoolboy and back woods swain-well, the hall was so cold the audience did not appreciate it. Puggy's accomnpaniament to his classic song recital brought dowvn the house, and the gentleman from Alcolu kept it constantly coming down. We sincerely hope the~ local management of the ly ceum will have more consideration for the comfort of those who pay their 2noney to be entertained. Since our last issue several have ask ed us about the new bank we refered to, and we also received a couple of letters regarding it, and lest there may be a misunderstanding, we will state that we based our comment entirely upon information furnished us by some who are endeavoring to start another bank in this town. So far as we are concerned we have no complaint against the present bank, and we are not aware of any other complaint than which we alluded to in our last issue, with regard to a feeling of giving busi ness competitors the advantage of an insight to what should be individual business secrets. The present bank is well officered, and 'is making big mon ey, the question is, would two banks make monevy I! so, then there is room for another, and two would have a ten dency to expand the banking business. this town would be useless unless, by having two, the cost of obtaining loans would be cheapened in the way of in terest or fees, and unless money can be procured cheaper, competition will be of no benefit. The people are not in terested in dividing the patronage of banks, what they want is for banks to sell their money as cheaply as possible. We believe money ought to be obtained at a less rate of interest, it is so obtain ed at other places, and it ought to be here. The prevailing rate here is 8 per cent discount,then when fees are added. the borrower is doing well if he gets his money at a cost of ten per centmon ey is borrowed in some places at six per cent, and at the North as low as four, why is this so? Because money is plAntiful and competition is active. If we had as active competition in the money market here as we have in the mereintile, the owners of money would be as satisfied with smaller profits as the merchants are compelled to be. Therefore we say there is absolutely no need here for another bank, unless those who are contemplating such a movement propose to reduce interest and fees, and it would be almost im oossible to raise another bank in this town without having parties connected with it who are situated similar to those in the existing bank. Unconscious From Croup. During a sudden and terrible at tack of croup our little girl was un conscious from strangulation, says A. L. Spafford, postmaster, Chester, Mich., and a dose of One Minute Cough Cure was administered and repeated often. It reduced the swel ling and inflammation, cut the mu cus and shortly the child was resting easy and speedily recovered. It cures coughs, colds, la grippe, and all throat and lung troubles. One Minute Cough Cure lingers in the throat and chest and enables the lungs to contribute pure, health-giv ing oxygen to the blood. The R. B. Loryea Drug Store. --- 4. We are informed that an editorial in this paper on the subject of railroads so impressed a man of means in this town, that he said he was willing to pledge five miles of the road himself. Here you are business men, can you get together for your own good, or do you expect to trust to luck? Has Manning any public spirited citizens at all? Then why do they dot try and do some thing for the betterment of the com munity? We do not regard those pub ic spirited, who pull together for their own selfish ends, for instance, where one or more persons join to do some thing which can only benefit them, matters not how much they invest, the whole benefit goes to them, but where persons join in an enterprise which will develope the community, bring new people, and labor providing institutions they are what we call public spirited citizens, having the community's wel fare as well as their own at heart. Manning can, if it will unshackle herself from railroad monoply, and se cure the advantages competing towns have obtained to our cost. In a former issue we outlined a railroad route for onsideration, and now we have an other which is worth considering, but onsideratlons amount to nothing, if the men who should do something are going to wait for a freshet to float pro ress up to their doors. A connecting line with the Southern at Levi's siding or Manchester _is horoughly practicable, within a dis ance of 20 miles, and a connecting line with the Seaboard Air Line at Camden s also practicable within a distance of 30 miles. In our opinion, if our mer hants and other business men will rasp the opportunity now, and take old of either of these roads, with a etermination to do business, the cork n the bottle now holding our business nterests and keeping us from spread ing will be pulled in short order. Think f it, an opening 20 miles from us in a otton growing direction, and another 0 miles from us in a tobacco and cot ton direction. If we can get the Sea ord to come this way, it will either go o Georgetown to seek shipping by ater, or go to Charleston, where it has been wanting to go for a long time, ma it will get there sooner or later; it is for us to say, are we going to offer in ucements to get them to come here? he crowned heads of every nation, he rich men, poor men and misers tl join in paying tribute to eWitt's Little Early Risers.
