A whole business block to the town of .Manning was practically destroyed and an area over the buslivess sec? tion of the town was badly damaged' at 4.10 o'clock Friday afternoon by a tornado, which left three persons dead in the ruins of the buildings and sev? eral others plnn'-d under the fallen timbers and walls. For a while It seemed that the dead would number more than a score of people, and It seems a miracle that so few were killed and injured. Miss Clara Duggett was killed in the McLeod building, which was occupied by the New Idea Company, where she was engaged us a clerk. Her sister, Miss Julia Daggett, was dangerously injured and is now In a critical condltl' I On the next corner of the block, the Nettles building, which was oc ouplod by the Manning Dry Goods Company, was demolished and Bens ley Davis, a clerk, and the col? ored porter wore taken from the rulne dead. Mr. T. M. Davis, father of the dead boy, G. M. Smith and Joe E. Graham, were ta? ken from the debris seriously injured. Others Injured were Miss Annlo Thames, Morris Ncss, Mrs. B. Katz off. D. D. Davis, J. E. Bcardon and others were more or less seriously Injured by the falling timbers and brick of the various buildings. In the Arant Drug Store the pharm? acist and his porter escaped In jury by lying under the counter. The build? ing was completely demolished. The damage was greatest on Brooks and Boye?

Tho court house chimney was broken off und part of the building unrocfed and many of tho handsome oak trees In the court house yard were torn to pieces by the wind. The big trees ov? er the town and the buildings where the storm hit looked as If some great giant h* i, with a colossal club, beat down upon them, stripping the trees and beating in the roofs of the build? ings. Those buildings damaged most were The New Idea Company and Krasnoff Store In the Mel/cod building; the IMowden Hardware Company, F. M.

Practically every hUMlncMs man In Manning In some way felt tho effect of the storm and suf? fered serious financial loss. There were only two or three persons in tho town who had any tornado Insur? ance, mo the. Ions will f.ill especially heavy on those the storm struck. The total loss Is estimated between $200, 000 and $250,000. The damage on the court houso was estimated at about $10,000. The wind came from tho west and came up very suddenly. Many of those in the storm stated that it was ??ver so (inlckly that there was little tlmo to do unything or to get to places of safety. < >no man stated that th??ro was one big "oof" and it was all ov'-r.

SgSJfeSS in their behalf our grati? tude and thanks to so many Of the I physicians and nurses and citizens of [ Sumter who came to our rescue last night. With wires down and peo? ple hurled in fallen timber and brick walls ,and nobody knowing how many were killed and injured doubt? less the reports which reached Sum? ter were greatly exaggerated. Up to this time. Saturday afternoon, there are only three killed, Mr. Bcasly Da? vis, Miss Clara Daggett and a negro porter. It is likely that this will cover the death roll, unless it is Mr. Joe Graham of Foreston. The six or seven others injured will likely all re co\ er. Sumter county is the mother of Clarendon county ,and Sumter city is Munning's friend. Your good people showed us last night that Sumter hearts are in the right place. We are unable to express how much we ap? preciate this noble spirit. J. Harry Lcsesne. Manning, May 8th, 1915. THANKS PFOPLF OF SVMTFR.

In behalf of our stricken town and the men who have suffered ? heavy loss I wish to thank our big-hearted Sumter neighbors for their quick and hearty response to the reported needs of the town of Manning. More than a hundred automobiles bringing phy? sicians, solicitous friends, and even a thoughtfully detailed police guard, came from Sumter us quickly as they could run. Slmlll'tr action to tout Of Sumter was taken, by Mr. lt. J. AVorman, of Alcoiu, who offered to close hi- Nkr hostboi mill and send his force of I men on his own train to help the peo? ple of Manning. Our people are deeply touched by this and while suffering heavily in loss of buildings and merchandise stocks, and tho heavier loss of threo< lives killed outright, and six or eight badly hurt, wo feel a deep sense of appreciation for the friendly offices of the people of Sumter and Alcolu, and a closer bond of sympathy and at? tachment.

Game Cocks Put up Lively Exhibition, ami Win from Wedgcfleid by Score of 7 to 1. Tho Features. From Tho Daily Item, May 7. Real snap and fast play throughout characterized the ball game yester? day, which the locals took from Wedgefleld by a score of seven to one. The Game Cocks seem to have hit their proper stride, and the recent practices have improved their batting and fielding to a marked degree. There was lots of life to the game. The locals got away with nine good swats that put earned runs into the score, and their fielding had the snap that makes the bleachers sit up and take notice. The pitcher:) for Sumter performed exceptionally ereil, and wore the real viars of the game In four innings. Drevenotedt yielded but two liitn. | White was stingy to the extent of giv? ing up but one safety, and Frank Chandler added the final chapter to the game, by fanning the heavy enu of the visitors batting order in a row, when Lenoir, Mahoney and Strange were retired on strikes. "Rubber" Nash, the local first sacker, who can reach from the first station half way to either the plate or second, and "Tyrus Cobb Fowler, each swatted Strange's offerings to the tune of three-base hits. They both parked the ball, but ground rules limited the hit for but three sacks. Springs made his first appearance In Sumter uniform, and at once start? ed his old time stunts by getting a base on balls, stealing second and then third, and scoring when the catcher blew a bubble. Joe Chandler caught an exceptionally good game. Tho score against the visitors does not correctly indicate the strength of their team. They put up a good game, and made the locals work for all that they got.
