From Tho Dally Item. May 8.
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? Streets, the two main business
: > f M mi.in?' \\ ith the COUll
hourtC ss about the center of ibc Hs
tuibanos, the wind SSjSSjI its fstee'STl
all sbif'S, within a radius of about
four blocKs with aamage here and
there beyond this radius. 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.
Wilson Insurance Agency, Katzoff
Store, Dixon Drug Store, Cluremlon
Millinery Company, Coffey-Rlgby sta?

Cothran and Gleen's tobacco ware
houses, cotton oil mill, cotton ware?
house, Irvin's Hour mill, Arant's Drug
Store, Manning Dry Goods Company,
Manning Furniture Company, Levl
M.'i i auLil.- company and a number of
other buildings. 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. Immediately after Un?

mersllseJ thai i will not wall for nnj
e.oieorted expression, but will hasten
t<? 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.

es Appreciation for People of
Stricken Town.
The Sumter Item, Sumter, S. C.
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.

SUMTER WINS.
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.
The line-up of the two teams was;
Wedgefleld?Aycock, cf; Lenoir, D?
