Died yesterday afternoon after about
a week's illness of hemnorrharie fever,
Percy Tennent at his home in Summer
too. This young mnan was about 21 years
of age and very popular, everybody like .
"Percy." His friends are sincerely sad
dened by his untimely taking off, cut
down in the bloom of youth when there]
was such a fine promise of future use-,
fulness is enough to bring sorrow to the
hearts of those who knew this boy and
appreciated his worth. Percy had many
friends among the young people of this
town-he was a favorite in base ball
circles, and his conduct was always so
genteel that he endeared himself to the
elder ones also. We extend our sympa
thy to the grief stricken family. He was
a so of Mr. an Mrs. . E. Tennant.
The whistle of the Seaboard railroad
will be heard in this county before
many months, and we think if our city
fathers will get busy the enterprise will
be hastened, as we think the railroad
people are now ready to open up nego
tiations for concessions. If Manning
gets in a position to offer a concession
similar to that given by Bishopville,
there is no doubt in our mind of the
road coming into this town, but if there
is nothing done on the part of the peo
ple here, everybody laying low hoping
that somebody else will do the giving,
and then take advantage of the progress
to squeeze we may not get the road at
all.
It will be remembered that some
weeks ago W. T. Coker, of New Ziun,
lied after a brief illness; the deceased
had only been married a short time,
but his married life had not been pleas
int, and when he died his neighbors
nowing the relations between the man
tnd Ibis wife were not satisfied; they
:aused an autopsy to be held, and the
man's stomach examined for traces of
poison. Dr. C. E. Gramble sent the
;tomach to Clemson college, and on
last Wednesday Magistrate Baird called
,he jury of inquest together to re
:eive the report from the State chemist
Dr. R. N. Bracket, which was that
rhey were no traces of poison in the
;tomach, and the jury after hearing
,his report rendered a verdict accord
ingly, that,the deceased came to his
leath from natural causes.
Rev. Preston B. Wells, a former pas
;or of the Manning Methodist church,
md his family, have been spending sev
)ral days in Manning visiting relatives
md on Sunday morning Mr. Wells
)reached in the Methodist church in
ihe place of Rev. F. H. shuler, the pas
or, who conducted the services at An
Irews Chapel.
Mr. We!!s had a splendid congrega
cu, tut if it hdi been known that he
was to preach the church would not
lave held the crowd, as he is popular
,opuiar with all faiths and creeds in
his town. His sermon was a splendid
,ffort, enjoyed by all who heard him,
d those had never heard him before
were impressed with his zeal and ear
estness, his remarkable flow of langu
ge and argument, and his grand ora
ory.
Under the regulations of the Metho
list church Mr. Shuler will not be re
urned to Manning, his four years ser
rice will have expired when conference
onvenes.and we know of no man in the
nference whom the people here would
ather to follow Mr. Shuler than P. B.
wells. Manning was indeed fortunate
n having Mr. Shuler the past four
ears and if the rules could be suspend
d they would gladly petition confer
ace to'have him to come back, but this
s impossible, therefore they would be
lad if Bishop Kilgo would remember
is old boyhood friends in Manning and
end Mr. Wells to them,promising now
a advance to see that he keeps straight
yen if The Times editor becomes his
ersonal chaperone.

Holding Movement.
L'o the members of the County Farmers.
Union and all others who are inter
ested in the price of cotton:
As a meeting of the County Farmers
jion, October 10th, 1912, a resolution
was aaopted instructing a committee
ppointed by the president of the coun
y union to draft and issue a call to all
e members of the union and all those
who are interested in the price of cotton
o hold their cotton off the market at
he present prices This is certainly an
>pportune time to hold your cotton and
hereby get much better prices than
re now prevailing. With a short crop
md a splendid demand fo'r the manu
'ctured products of cotton and the
ar.ks willing to loan money on ware
ouse receipts of 6 per cent, every
farmer should be able to hold the
reater part of his cotton and at the
iame time liquidate his debts. Farmers
.hink before it. is too late, you have the
iuation in your hands. Use it. for your
>wn good and the good of others.
