Women Who Are Envied.
Those attractive women who are
lovely in face, form aud temper are
the envy of many, who might be like
them. A weak, sickly woman will be ;
nervous and irritable. Constipation |
or Kidney poisons show in pimples i
blotches, skiu eruptions and a^
wretched complexion. For all such, j
Electric Bitters work wonders. They |
regulate Stomach, Liver and Kid-1
neys, purify the blood; give strong^
nerves, bright eyes, pure breath, j
smooth, velvety skin, lovely com-;
plexion. Many charming women owe
their health and beauty to them. 50c

A BIRD'S EVE VIEW OF
CLARENDON'S CAPITOL
MASKED IMPROVEMENT VISIBLE?OR
\ NATE TEMPLE OF JUSTICE AND HANDSOME
NEW SCHOOL BUILDING.
Alter having lived in Manning
several years, and being
away for four years, and then
go;ng back for a day, I could
not help being very much impressed
with the growth and 1
improvement visible in the
town. There has never been a 1
boom in Manning, but just a
good, steady, healthy improve- 1
ment along every line. New '
stores, new residences, new
public buildings and new enterprises
are visible on e/ery 1
side.
The new public buildings are 1
the pride of the town, and they J
are enough to make a citizen of
a A ? ?^ ...r <
many iuwiis iw.jvc mc siac ui t
Manning proud of their imposing i1
appearance. ? 1
Tiie writer liadthe pleasure of
going through the new court 1
house while in Manning recent- k
ly and, although it is not yet '
completed, he could not but *
marvel at the nicety of arrangement
and {he many convenien- 1
ces it will offer to the county 1
officials. The building is 116 *
feet long by 37 feet wide and is *
built oi the famous red Wash- *
ington pressed brick, trimmed
with Indiana stone, while the [
steps are solid granite. There 1
are 12 rooms on the first floor
to be used by the county officials, t
and the court room with eight 2
ante rooms and jury rooms are *
on the second floor. The build- r
ing is trimmed with South Carolina
pine, except the corri- c
dors, which are trimmed with I
oak. When completed this hand- c
r\n<\ t
some eamce win uusi fuv,vw. Clarendon
county has a court *
house of which it can justly feel [v
proud.
The other public building just
completed is the graded school
building and no child could but c
enjoy going to school in such a c
comfortable and conveniently *
arranged institution of learning. 0
At a cost of $50,000 the tax- ?
payers of Manning school dis- t
trict have had erected a lasting a
monument to their thrift and ^
industry and belief in education. k
The building contains twelve J
large class rooms w-ith cloak c]
rooms adjoining each class *
room. There are electric bells
in eacn room connecieu wnui
the superintendent's toom and c
also electric fire bells placed 1
throughout the building. All n
of the inner doors open both c

ways and the outer doors all
open on the outside, thereby
making- it impossible for a door
to become jammed in case ot fire
or panic from any cause. The
building- contains a spacious auditorium
with a seating capacity
of 800, fitted with splendid
opera chairs.
Manning has two banks, both
of which are in a prosperous
condition. The Bank of Manning,
capital $40,000, in its last
statement (April 28) showed a
surplus fund of $40,000 and $16,0u0
undivided profits. It stands
tourtli among the State banks ot
Somh Carolina as to profits
compared with capital stock and
two hundred and twenty-eighth,
in the United States. The Bank
af Clarendon, which is a much
younger institution, has a capital
of $25,000 and the undivided
profits amount to $11,500.
Manning has an oil mill, an
ilectric plant and a knitting
mill, all of which are owned entirely
by Jocal stock-holders.
Manning also boasts of one of
.he best newspapers in the
State, owned and edited by Hon
Louis Appelt, State Senator
rom clarendon county.
The business houses are so
lumerous that lack of spac
precludes individual mention,
>ut suffice to say that one seldom
lears of a bankrupt sale in that
hriving little city.
The Atlantic Coast Line rail
oad has recently enlarged and
tnproved the depot at Manning,
vhich is about the only indicaion
of a progressive town that
Lppeals to a passerby, owing to
be fact that the town is about a
nile from the station.
Manning of ten years ago was
mly the frame-work of the im>roved
and beautiful little city
if today, and in all probability
he next decade will show no
ess evidence ot growth and de-elopment.
