Friday afternoon. about 4 o'clock a
horse belongingr to Rees Green, a col
ored man, who lives beyond Shady
Side, was killed when it ran into the
big plate glass front of D. C. Shaw
Motor Co.'s show room The two horses
were hitched to a wagon and for some
unknown cause had become frightened
and ran away. They were going up
Sumter Street at full speed until they
reahed the corner of Hampton Ave
nue, when in endeavoring to turn they
ran into the glass in front of the Shaw
Company office and show room. One
of the horses endeavored to turn
and was cut only about the feet by the
glass. while the other animal reared
upon the glass and then came down on
it. the glass striking it in the stomach
near the bind legs and completely dis
emboweling it. The horse was then
pulled back out of the building by its
mate and Mr. Plowden ran out of the
buiding and cut the two animals loose.
However, the injured horse was in such
a pitiable condition as itstood in the
street with its intestines hanging
out that those standing nearby had pity
on it and killed it at once by striking
it in tbe head with an axe.-Snmter

THiE MOST POPULAR S
Welcome To The New Fastor.
A very interesting service was held
at the Methodist church on last Sunday
evening at 7:30 o'clock. It was a un
ion service for the purpose of extend
ing a welcome to the new Methodist
pastor, Dr. Watson B. Duncan. After
te Opening services Rev. McCord of
te Presbyterian church, took charge
and introduced the speakers. Hon. J.
H. Lesesne represented the town and
in fitting words welcomed the new min
ister as a force in the intellectual and.
moral uplift of the community. Mr.
Lesesne indulged in some reminiscence
and referred to the time when Mr.
Duncan first came to Manning. ex
changing pulpits with the late Rev.
Henry M. Mood who was then Pastor
of the church here. The speaker re
membered the text upon which Mre.
Duncan preached that day and also re
frred to the suggestion that perhap's
the young minister had some other
notive that time besides preaching the
Gospel in Manng. He said that a
very serious blow was given the church
here a little later when the visiting
minister married tbe organist.
Hon. Chariton DuRant represented
the Methodist church and in fitting
words extended a very gracious wel
come to the incoming pastor. Mr. Du
Rant said that he was glad to welcome
ta the commnunity a man whom many
of the people here knew and loved. On
behalf of the entire church the speaker
peged the new pastor hearty sym
pathy and co-operation.
Mr. Wilkins represented the Baptls
in the absence of the pastor of that
church who was prevented from being
present by sickness. Mr. Wilkins'
talk was brief but hearty.
The Rev. Mr. McCord spoke for the
resbyterians and spoke very feelingly
of the spirit, in which the Presbyter
ians of Manning welcomed the new
preacher. Mr McCord, using Presby
terian phraseology, spoke of "install.
ing" Dr. Duncan.
Mar. Dancan was very happy over the
hearty welcome and expressed high
appreciation of the kind words that
had been spoken.
The occasion was a very delightful
one and was greatly enjoyed by all
present. A splendid program of mus
ic added to the occasion.
Obituaries.
Ini sad bus loving rememberance of
my two dear children, Placidia Shorter
Stukes, who died May 24th, 19I4, and
Harvey N. Shorter, December 24, 1914.
Oh! the memory of the evenings as I
stood with breaking heart,
Seeing the ones I loved so dearly
pierced by death's most cruel dart.
I often sit and 'think of them when I am
all alone,
Fr memory is the only friend that
grief can call its own.
Oh! Placidia, how I miss your smiling
face. where ever I go.
I feel so lonly without you, but 'twas
God who bereft me can all my sor
rows heal.
Oh! Sonny, my precious one, you want
ed to walk the beautiful shore with
farther and sister,
But we didn't know you meant to leave
us so soon.
You have been gone one year, your
memory is as fresh as the day you
passed away..
May we, by God's help, be able to meet
the loved on.-s that has gzone on.
Where there will be no more parting.

I feel so grateful- to you for the pae'
you took in making .our - first ,count
nFair a success. Especially do, I wisl
eto thank tbe officers of. the Fair Assc
ci eation who so freely gave their tim
and energies to this public work~
Every one seemed to vie with the oth
er to seel who could do the most, Ba
.with all of our efforts we must acknow
;edge that the ladies deserve the, mos
.credit for the success of the Fair.
.am not going to mention any name
tfor fear I shall leave out some one
.but you who visited the Fair kno'
-whodid the most work.
Of course there were a few "knock~
er" who tried to discourage us in ou
tundertaking. The "knocker" is us
ually with us on sucn occasions, bu
the faint knock cannot be heard sincl
the enterprise has proved a success
The managers of the different depart
ments did the best they could, and tha
was the best that could have beet
'aone, and not a man or woman wouli
accept a dollar for his or her services
nNow for a greater Fair another year
We want to have a grand-stand, a dri
i.ng park, and more and higher prem
ums for stock to induce the farmers t<
brine exhibits. All of this il! cal
for money. You have entrusted u!
with a small amount of money and w
Lbhave realized a profit of over one huc
dred and thirty dollars above all es
pneonthe amount turned over t
a.us. Now help us by taking more stoci
as d Iam satissfed it will prove a goo
invstmnt oryou, financially aswe
eras educationally. Let us not under
I value the educational advantage re
ceived byv the 1500 school children wh
had free access to the Fair grounds
Then too the social feature is worth
of consideration.
Yours for a better Fair next year,

LURING WILlD GEESE.
Live Decoys Are Often Used and Made
.. to Play the Traitor. .
American wild geese each spring ini
grate from waters of the southern
states to the shores of the Arctic in
northern Canada. The two great com
mon varieties of the bird are the honk
ers and the wavy, or white, goose.
Bo0th "f these are extensively hut
ed. Covering. ais they do. about 5.000'
miles on their annual migration. these
birds rest at v-arious !>laces -en route
and are thus shot by sportsmen almost
across the length of the continent. The
birds have a peculiar trait of always
leaving one of their number .on look
out while the rest feed..
To aid in the shooting of wild geese
live wild ones, captured young and
