Manning Mayor Julia Nelson signed a proclamation Oct. 18 declaring that the city of Manning was pleased to recognize October 2017 as Colonial Heritage Month in the city of Manning. Harriet Rawlinson represented the Teige Cantey Chapter of the South Carolina Society Colonial Dames XVIII Century of Sumter, which locally sponsored Colonial Heritage Month for October. Colonial Heritage Month, Nelson’s proclamation declared, “brings to mind the first courageous settlers who arrived in America and who determined the direction for the formation of our country.” Rawlinson said that one of the “sound and noble goals of this heralded society is to promote the tremendous colonial heritage upon which the very principles of our mighty nation were kindled and passed on, both in spirit and by example.”
