I didn't get the meaning of the whole sentence.

[Beeesneees]

The whole sentence:Charlie did not have many things. He only had a small number of random items.

... in the way of
(you may also hear '... by way of')

In/by the manner of...

When referring to physical things/items 'manner' refers to the kind or sort of things/items.
