Manning, of Colombia, delivered a lecture oo tbe ' Inaccurac es of History," in the Graded School build? ing last Wednesday evening before ao audience composed almost entirely of tbe members of Dick Anderson Chapter, Daughters of tbe Confederacy and J D. Blaodlng Camp, Sons of Veterans. His lec? ture was of marked interest as he contrasted in a striking manner and graphic language the incorrect and often glaringly false state? ments found in many of the schools histories, prepared by Northern writers, with tbe true facts of history as recorded by tbe meo who made I) story. He read numerous extracts from Nortbero scnool histories and proved tbe falsity of these statements by quotations from official records and letters from ^ecerals and other distinguished men. Tbe audience wa6 not large, owing to the threatening weather and the fact that there were other entertainments last evening, bot those who were present erjiyed bis lectore and were fully repaid for braving the weath? er. At tbe conclusion of his lecture Mayor Stuc.key thanked Capt Manning in Ibe name of tbe City of Sumter, tbe Graded School and the Sons and Daughters of the Confed? eracy for his most interesting and valuable lecture which is a worthy contribution to tbe real aod true history of our country. ?ssj ?>*a?o?ssjj?i An Epidemic of Diarrtcea.
