A Canning Factory.
Mr. C. H. Watson, junior member of the i
firm of J W. Roth & Son, of Baltimore, the
largest canning goods company in the United
States, is registered at the Reardon House.
Mr. Watson is here for the sole purpose of
facilitating arrangements for the establish?
ment of a $10,000 branch canning factory in
Sumter. This is a bona fide industrial move,
and J. W. Roth & Son mean to commence
work on their plant as soon as a site can be
securad. They will make a specialty of can?
ning sweet potatoes, raised in this section, .
which Mr. Watson says are of a very superior 1
quality. He says they will employ about
thirty hands, all white, and from the City of
Sumter, if they can be had. He will have an j
experienced foreman from the North. They
will can everything in the fruit and vegetable
line, except cantelopes and watermelons

Trial Justice Manning.
TrUl Justice Manning, together with
Messrs. Wilson and Pitts of* the Sumter
Board of Control, appeared recently hefote
Governor Tillman to auswar charges made!
against him in th?* matter of the ease against j
Lep. Strauss, recently dismissed by him for :
lack of proper evidence. The Columbia
Register gives the following report of ihe !
mailer which resulted in a vindication of Mr. j
Manning's course
Before the Governor yesterday Vi?. Manning !
stated that he acted in. the case according to j
his understanding of the law under which the .
prosecution was brought. He had written to I
the Attorney General for advice and his !
construction of the law in the case but did j
not get a reply from him in time and when
the heat i dg came off he acted according to his
judgment. The other persons charged with
violating the Dispensary Act at the same
time weie bound over to court.
So after all it seems to have t een a matter
of opinion as to the construction of the law
upon which even judges oftentimes diffrr very
widely.
After hearine Mr. Manning Governor
Tillman became satisfied and so expressed
himself that Mr. .Manning'saction in this case
was cue to an error in judgment (wbieh is
also a man ter of opinion) and not to any j
intention to evade his duty.
He therefore decided r.ot to remove Mr. !
Manning from office -Columbia Register.
