MANNING'S 1 , | We, the neighbors of Mr R I Man ning, hereby testify that the follow ing facts with regard to him an correct: Sumter, August 29:?Richard Manning, of this city, who will maki the second race for Governor, i what is generally known as a "self made man." He has worked hi way from the bottom rung of th? ; ladder, starting his career in a ver; humble manner, not theoretically but practically. The story of hi early life is one of struggles to mak a way in the world. In 1880 Mr Manning, then 2: years of age, started to farm on poor, sandy farm. The land wa unimproved, the crops were sma! and it was hard living at that period ** *" * - I?J ii _1 L Mr Manning worKeu tnree piuugu on his farm. In 1881 he was mai ried. In that very year there wa 'a general crop disaster, resulting i a heavy loss to the farmers, i which Mr Manning shared. The disaster of 1881 caused M Manning to give up his farm an work for someone else. He left hi own farm and moved to the place c another, which he worked on share; At that time he lived in a two-roor house with a shed room. It ws necessary that he should live in most economical manner. At ever turn he had to economize in orde to make ends meet. A small wago with a spring seat took the plac ! of a buggy on the farm. Whe j he was able to purchase a $50 buf gy, Mr Manning conceived that t be a luxury at that time. LASTED SEVERAL YEARS. The struggle lasted for seven years, but each year from then o there was improvement in the crop made and Mr Manning was able t ' make a little more than the necei ' sary living expenses, gradually ii | creasing his farming operations. By the exercise of care, econom and industry, Mr Manning was abl by degrees to increase his saving and some time later he moved bac to his own farm. Here he farme for eighteen years. At the end c FOR COTTON STORAGE. The Bank of Williamsburg, King tree, S C, has secured Nelson's T< bacco Warehouse for the purpose c storing and holding cotton belonf ing to its customers. Warehouse r< ceipts will be issued in due forn which may be used as collateral s< curity. The Bank takes this action as J.: precautionary uicaouir, wihv.ii w 1 assure storage room for those whos business interests are connected wit the Bank, but will accommodate th public generally as far as possible. The warehouse will be availab! for cotton storage on or about 0< tober 1. Very truly, E C Epps, Cashier. C W Stoll, It President.

II NEIGHBORS' TESTIMONY. - that time, after years of struggling, . Mr Manning's activities became a wider and larger and then it could he said that he was successful and beginning to prosper a little. I Later on, he was elected president e of the Bank of Sumter, on account UJo ennn/ioe Jn KllcinPSS: That g Ui 1113 O U V_ V. V- OvJ 111 . bank has ahvay done a large busis ness with farmers and a good share e of the stock in this bank is owned v by farmers. Undoubtedly Mr Manning has acs cumulated what property he has by e his own exertion, industry and good management. 2 IN THE FRONT RANKS. a In all movements affecting the s farming interests of the State Mr I* Manning has been in the front ranks ' to help. He has worked hard on s the cotton holding plan, has advo'* cated the proper warehousing of 5 cotton so that the farmer might obn tain a better price for the staple, n i and has always aided in movements to finance the cotton crop. He is r president of a cotton warehouse in d his own home county, and his main 's interest now, as always, is farming, 'f Not only locally, but throughout 3- the State, Mr Manning has watched 11 out for the farming interests. Ever IS! alert and active in any move looking a to the betterment of rural condiy tions, he has given his best thought ir as a trustee of Clemson College to n building up that farmers' institu:e tion, which teaches agriculture to n the youth of the State. He is chairf* man of the fertilizer board of Clem0 son, and here again he is watchful of the farmers' interests. The State Fair is another agricultural instituil tion with which Mr Manning has n been identified for many years. >s Mr Manning is first a farmer and ;o next a business man. He manages s- his own farm now, and he knows ini timately rural conditions. A sue cessful farmer, a business man of y wide experience, Mr Manning would !e be able as Governor to work for all rs the people of this State, k Albert E Aycock, Wedgefield, d R M Cooper, Wisacky, >f E T Strange, Mechanicsville.
