All of the largest cotton buyi ng con-I! cerns will have active representatives .on this market this season, and there 1 is no good reason why Manning should .not rank with the best cotton markets 1 in the .State.1 Tobacco has aliready ocen waiketeC in Jorrv and in a short time the growers f to --Vellow Ieaf" will be coming to he two warehiouses in, nin,'.

The fire alarm bell stirred the people f this town last Saturday night the ause being a tenant house belonging ) 3. A. Johnson on Coureh street was urned. it is said the fire was the re alt of a lamp explosion. Insurance 300. The fire was out of reach of tne re wells so the fire boys had to resort ) buckets to save a building near by. 'he tenant saved most of her effects. The DuRant boys from the Fork see on had the nerve to go to Mayesville Lst Friday to play the boys of that wn a game of base bail, and they acceeded in making the game very ase indeed. They got wiped up with score of 14 to 2. Were it not that it ight appear to be making the agony t the DuRant boys worse, we might ex ress .some sorrow that they ever let iemselves get deceived into the idea 2ey could play ball. The electric storm last Friday did men havoc in the Summerton section. 'he following dispatch was sent from ummerton: Three negroes, each at a ifferent place. within a radius of five ies of Summerton, were killed by gtning this afternoon. It is reported iat a fourth was also killed, but this innot be verified. Frasier Caldwell, ving east of town, was killed wbhjle sleep on his piazza, while Manning :eels was killed in a field while loughing. The name of the third arty could not be learned. There will be at the graded school uditorium on the evening of the 13th, 1st. an entertainment for the benefit the Manning library.

The ckets will be sold at the Dickson Drug .'s store. This is a local affair un er the auspices of the ladies of the >wn, and being for such a cause we are no doubt it will be encouraged by liberal patronage. We direct the attention of our read rs to the advertisement in this issue of 'he ome Bank and Trust Company, ne of the new banks recently establish in Manning. The head of this institn on, Charlton DuRant, Esq.. is a man Ill of energy, and he puts vim into all f- his doings, therefore, if push will ac amplish results he is determined to iake his banking institution a success. he new home for this bank will soon e completed and when it is, they will ave a very attractive edifice which will e an ornament to the town and a credit the bank's management.

The Seaboard railroad has offered a -oposition to Bishopville if the citizens that town will give them a site and a ight of way for two miles, and a similar roposition is being considered by Sum ar. This has the appearance of the >ad making towards Charleston, and a ok at the map will show that to have direct line for that port the road must me through M1anning. It would be el for the town council to get in com iunicaion with the Se.tboard authori Les to urge them to come here, we be .eve if the e tfort is made the concessions equired can-be secared here.

There is no valid excuse for .y one to wrnhold a post omlce box :e'v. those who do it do so from a spirit ,f indifference or down righ t maanness, .d the government has a severe pen .ty for just such conduct. Trhe post na'ster urges all who have not complied rith the law to not force him to the un >leasant necessity to report them.

Now for bargains in the clotiunog and gents furnishing lines, all that you have s to do is to read the half page advertise- c ment of The D. J. Chandler Clothing t Company of Sumter, in this weeks issue of The Times. in presenting this new advertisement this reputable concern gives prices for our readers to ponder over. and when a well known establish ment comes to the front with a quota tion of prices it is suflicient evidence that, it means to offer an inducement to the buying public. This sale is for the purpose of lowering the present stock to make room for goods coming in from the manufacturers, and like all first class business houses. the management re gards it a better business to make a cle!arance sale at the lowest possible prices than to carry Ftock over. for this reason the D. .1. Chandler has put on the market this vast stock of excellent clothing and gents furnishings. Read the advertisement and make a- note of the prices quoted.
