To Mr. Sawyer, who is ofie of
those workers who is never happy
unless he is at work, it is a sort

such times when Mrs. Sawyer
could not persuade him to be
idle and rest he has completed
several beautiful canvases.
One of these pictures is en
titled The Oaks of Southport. An
other is, A Gray Day on The
River. This last picture includes
a view of the Old Cape Fear
Pilot house, minus the tower that
was lost in a storm three years
ago.

Attack In River
Clyde Manning Stricken
During Swim And Goes
Under; Body Recovered
Clyde Manning, 40, of Tabor
City was stricken with a heart
attack while swimming in Lum
ber River at Williamson Landing
between Cerro Gordo and Ever

vanished under the water in the
presence of his two young sons
and two other youths who were
with him. |
Manning was hauling sand for,

party of four boys with him.
After loading the truck, the group
decided to take a dip in tiie water.
Hot from their labors, the
quintet went out into the river
and Manning's younger son, Way
land, got out into deep water and
called for help. Heroically, Mann
ing exerted himself to get the
boy back to shallow water and
then suddenly went limp. His
body floated downstream for about
120 yards and then sank. Watch
ing helplessly the small boys saw
the victim's body disappear.
His son, J. C.. said his father
made no outcry. They hurried to
a nearby field in search of help,
but the body was not recovered
until several hours liter. It was
located about 30, yards from the
point where Manning was last
seen.
Coroner Hugh Nance examined
the body and came to the con
clusion that Manning was the
victim of a heart attack. .
With the Tabor City man at |
the time he was stricken were
his sons, J. C. and Wayland, and
two boys, Bob Watts and Robert
Allen. ir**.
Surviving are his wife, Mae
Anderson Manning, five children,
Leon, Hazel, Kitty Jo, J. C. and
Wayland; two sisters, Mrs. Lee
Duncan and Mrs. A. P. Odom, of
Hamlet; four brothers, Ralph, of
Tabor City, Archie, of Durham,
Ernest, of Galena, Kansas and
Eldred, of Savannah, Ga.
Funeral service were conduct
ed from the home Sunday after
noon at 4 o'clock by Rev. Ralph
