There was a bevy of beautiful girls in town from Turbeville last Saturday, one of them had the Pine Grove male teacher whittled downfine,andthe other teacher was buying embroideries and laces for the commencement exercises of Pine Grove school, and proved it by one of her companions. The longest trestle over Black River 6 the Central railroad, near Manning was destroyed by fire last night, as the result of criminal carelessness. It is supposed that fishermen built up a fire upon the trestle for a light, and left the fire burning when they got through fishing. The railroad not only has a heavy money loss, but the train sched ules are disarranged, which is an ad ditional loss to the company, severe punishment should be meted out to the guilty. A white man representing himself as J. P. Poole soliciting orders for picures, some weeks ago hired a horse and bugrgy from Langston's livery sta ble here, drove to Sumter county sold the turn-out for .S70 to J. J. Kolib and skipped. Mr. Langston went to Sum ter, recovered his property, and on a warrant sworn out by Mr. Kolb, Poole was arrested in Wadesboro, N. C. and is now in the Sumter jail. Mr. Langs ton has also sworn out a warrant and when the Sumter authorities gel through with Mr. PooleClarendon will take a .hand in the game to teach swindlers this climate does not agree The N ews & Courier or toaay ei torially savs: "In a South Carolina town is printei a list of thirtv-three subscribers. wb give the aggregate sum of $61 to the San Francisco sufferers.

Poole, the man whom it is alleged, sold the Lau'stou horse and buggy. MIr. \loise had a conference with 'Mr. Langs ton, lookinz to a compromise, but we understand if Poole succeeds in getting out of jail by compromising with Nir. Langston, whose horse and buggy he sold to Kolb, there is another matter he will have to reckon with in the shape of a board bill he left unpaid in Mlanning. The friends of Oliver Plowden have not heard anything from him since the earthquake. 'le was last heard from at Los Angeles. A letter reached here Sunday night from him, but it was written before the terrible disaster. There are two other lanning boys in California, Marion and Julian Clark, both of them live in the city of Los Angeles. "Mrs. Anderson, an aunt of icitor J. S. Wilson, who with her g~hter, visited Manning about five rs ago, lives at Santa Rosa, one of tne cities destroyed. Efforts have been made to open communication with her, but so far nothing has been heard Summerton Musical. It was the writer's pleasure to attend a musical at Summerton last Friday evening, and he was not at all amazed at the excellence of the program. nor the elegance of the large and cultured audience. Professor Saul's reputation is known throughout the country and had his concert fallen short of high order, it would have been a sad disap pointment. As a musician this gentle man- ranks very high. He dissects music like a physician 'dissects the hu man body, as a batonist dissects the plants that God has adorned the earth with to lend joy to mankind. His magic touch of the pianoforte breathes life into an inaminate object and from it brings forth those melodies and har monies which stirs the emotions of the soul, and drives from the human breast the morbid thoughts of "strategem and spoils," but rather places in the hand the "Kindly Light" and leads one up to the realm above. The credit for this delightful coucert is not due to Professor Saul alone. He was ably assisted by Mrs. Lieding, Misses Johnson and Aichel. all of Char leston, and all of them artists. although not professional. "Miss Johnson has a captivating contralto which indicates careful training, and her rendition of "Ah! 'Tis a Dream" was superb. The applause which greeted MIiss Aichel's violin accomplishments was decidedly well merited: all of the selec tions rendered by this lady were so pleasing that she won the affections of the audience. Mrs. Leiding charmed the audience with her sweet, well trained, and highly cultured soprano voice. Her several selections were indeed gems of melody. The entire numbers were well per formed, and Professor Saul also ren dered several selections of musical classics not on the program. selected for him by music students in the audi ence. The program was as follows: FIRST PART. 1. Piano solo, "Pilgrim's Chorus." from Tannhauser. Wagner, Prof Saul. 2. Contralto sole, "Aria." from Ri nalda, Handel. Miss Johnson. 3. Violin solo, a "Cavatina," Raff; b. "The Toll," Schubert; MIiss Aichel. 4. Soprano solo, violin obligato, se lected, Mrs. Leiding. 5. Songs, a. Ah: 'Tis a Dream," Hawley; b. "Mighty Lak' a Rose," Nevin; Miss Johnson. SECOND PART. 6. Piano solo, a "Cradle Song," Greig; b. ':Garotte" for left hand alone, Saul, Prof. Saul. 7. Contralto solo.' "Serenade," Nevin, ~iss Johnson. 8. Soprano solo. "Sing to Me,'' by Foot, selected. M1rs. Leiding. 9. Violin solo, a. Itermezzo. "Caval leia Rusticania," MIascagni: "Mia zurka," Wienawski; Mliss Aichel 10. Soprano solo. "Thine Blue Eyes," by Fische, Mrs. Leiding. 11. Piano solo, "Waltz," from Faust, Gounod, Prof. Saul. The audience was large and repre sented the surrounding country, Man ing and other towns. M~anning, al: though well represented, more woulc have attended, but afflictions in .twc families prevented many from going Dr. Ellison Capers arranged to give the people of Summerton this musical trea1 and he deserves to be congratulated foi the happy consideration and its happy results. It was a financial and a social success. Summerton was Doped. The first ball game of the season re suted in Manning coming out "firs1 best" with Summerton a "close second." Last Thursday a fairly goot crowd gathered at the park to see th( the game, and none went away dissatt sfied, they all got their money% worth for it was indeed a good game There were errors made on both sides and in the eighth inning Summertot was lifted out of the bog of despair be the errors and fumbling of M~anning A fly that any three-year-old coulk have taken in went through the bread rakes of the short stop like a mule going through an open gate. Anothei time one of "Mlanning's finest" imag. ied he had paid for a berth on a Pull. man, and went to sleep on third base when he could have made, and was needed home. Then too, the way Sum; merton fanned the atmosphere, insteac of soaking the hemisohere, arousec the poetry in Belser's soul to the de light of the bleachers. It was not at errorless game. but it was a .good one. especially, when it is considered the bos did~ no practicing~ Capt. C. K.

HIRSONMANI NEXT TO POSTOFFICE, MANNING, S. C. To The Public: Twenty-five years ago, last December. the undersigne'd as a boy of 11 years became a resi dent of Summerton. A quarter of a century is quite a while to live in one place, and in that time man changes occur. Twenty-five years ago there were 13 white families living in -Summerton. Durin the past three years 18 nice dwellings for whites have been built, and today 11 others are buildlganld under contract. - Twenty-five years ago there were two places or business, placi like sentinels one at each end ofithe town. Today there are about 30 places of business, some occupying handsome store rooms.rFour years ago there was not a brick building in the town. today there are 14 brick stores a'nd three building, and a brick bank. Twenty-five years ago there was mail twice a week, brought by star route, and at times by a one-legged negro, an old gray horse and sulky. Then, one had to go to Sumter or Gourdins if he wanted to travel by rail. Old rail-worm fences were all over the toivn. and one of the chief sports was to drag an old fox hide over town, and put the dogs On theI trail, get on the side of the road and see which dog would cross first. Twenty-five years ago a room 210 by 40 constituted tne'school house, occupied by the school during the school months and by a fiock of goats in the summer.

It was four years later that the agitation for better school facilities culminated in the trustees or patrons securing the services of Mr. J. C. Lanham. and from this time interest in a good school has risen and fallen in a degree. A bout 12 or 15 years ago an effort was md looking to the establishment of a graded school. For some reason it was dropped. In 189i was revived and Summerton School District. No. 12 was formed and a graded school opned Realizing the necessity of still better facilities, the taxpayers of the district received perm5~f to vote on bonds for the erection of a handsome and permanent home for the school, wth mor room and better facilities. T2he trustees have now been given authority to bond the district: for Wealldeel quite proud of the advance along all lines or our town. and while' the improve ients noted above may seem small to strangers, yet to us and to all old Summertonians wo have wandered from home. they look truly magifcient.
