THE MANNIG TIMES. Max~Z1 rg, l3.0. S. A. NETTLES, Editor. WEDNESDAY, October 17,1888. Charleston is to have a "Bandana parade" daring gala week. There has been a considerable stir in Charleston county politics for the last three months, and a desperate effort was made to break the backbone of the Dawson faction of the Democratic party, but the convention met last Friday, and "Ring Rule," so called, and "Dawsonism" triumphed. Eight law yers, a farmer, a merchant, and two mechan ic were elected to the legislature. The Republicans will make a desperate Ight to capture the 2nd and 7th congres sional districts of our State in the coming election. They have nominated S. E. Samith, of Aiken, to oppose Col.Geo. D. Till man, and Thomas E. Miller, of Beaufort, to oppose Col. Elliott. 'T'heir National Cam paign Committee has undoubtedly agreed to furnish the "Boodle" and will send down the "Bar' "if necessary. Let every Demo srat, white and colored, in these two districts rise to the emergency, and on the first Tues day after the first Monday in November next, crash the high tax hallucinations of blood-thirsty monopolist into the very dust as asr as Sooth Carolina is concerned by voting for the regular Democratic nominees .whether they be factional friends or foes. Fred Douglass, the most influential negro in the United States, has penned a strong letter appealing to his race to vote for Har risen and Morton at the coming election. "It's the hit dog that yelps," but the yelp is not as loud as the lick was hard when the great leader witnessed the stampede in his ranks four years ago, and saw the Southern wing of his flock vote for Mr. Cleveland. He bit his lips and held his peace a long time, only that the howl might be oppor tune when it came; but the negroes of the loath will tura a deaf ear upon him, hay ing nothing to regret for joining hands with their Southern white fellow-citizens, whose material prosperity is coequal with their own-the one dependent on the oth er. They will never sacrifice theirinterests, nor barter theirrightsagain, by paying tnb ute to the same old party that inveigled them with the promises of "10 acres and a mule," and would now stifle their prosperity with the delusive phantoms of a political platform whose broadest plank is high tax es metamorphosed intoa "protective tariff." They are fools no longer, and well do they understand that to protect the manufac taners is to increase the price of the identi cal commodities they are obliged to con same, and that without enhancing the val es of the raw material produced by the bardlabor and honest toil of their wives and children. They know that under the Republican administration of the Govern ment a pound of calico cost them five uounda of OttU; a pound of jeans, four pounds of wool; and to the great disoom Stare of their chaing ex-bosses, they know at rason teky. New let every white man exert himself in imessing upon them the necessity of "a tariff for revenue only"-the platform pfthe. Democratic party-and the appeals etPredDouglass and his allies will fall on theftresas the tialing of cymbals and sunding brass. The State Press Rot an Ecbo. The Gaarleston &is, which by the way is esse our beat esteemed ehnges, has ug ade a change of editors, and this teN r. 1. H. Moore ably fills the editorial ehair. We would have noted this before, 'h@o'ing to unanticipated business duties, We have been, during the present month, eteet from our office most of the time, and 3e'ami has consequently been in other Jaside. The get up of the TDins this week is iely that of another than the regular edibs. So much as anexcuse forfiing to aots s insportant a newspaper change. We ifufr fran the editorials in the few espies we haveread sine Mr. Moore took aerg that he is a brilliant and taonted -.n mn on his first daily paper. He is ggressve in spirit and thought, endeavor imo to hew to the line. But we humbly beg leave to stale to Mr. Moore that when he ebages the country press ofthisState as be ing mere echoes of the Ketos anid COmrie, or et any other paper, that he knows not of the stuff that Caroliha editors are made. Some few are cringing in their course; oth era make it a rule to try to oppose anything in the Ke,,s and Courer: most of them, how ever, use their own brains and views. Speaking for ourself we admire Capt. Daw son's piaper, and his views and positions in te inain. Somethings about him and his paper we do niot like-. But taking all things into consideration, we candidly consider trapt.Dawson one of the-greatest and most mseful men in the State; and in giving ex pression to this sentiment we do not believe that eur fellow citizens regard us as cring ing in sar conduct,. or cowardly in our ac Liansor editesial writings. We write this article because we do not remember of anything in our paper, rela tive one way or the other to the recent municipal election; and for this reason we feel at liberty the better to take-up- for our contry brothers. It is our opinion, and we presume the press and people- of the State will agree with us, that- if the &m and the World were each to devote their editorial columns more to correcting evil measures- than to de nouncing the ewos and Courr that their influence would be stronger. The Yetos and etiir throughout this State is es tablished, and is likely to- remain so, regardless of (and with the assist ae of) anti N. and C, papers. We' helieveoit is the custom of the ewos and Gtasier never to notice regular and syste uatie attaokson its editors. Were it toad rertise the Swi and the World, as those pa pers do the eos and Courier, it would very shortly largely increase the subscriptions of both those papers Now, this article is not written for the purpose of offending,.or in a controversial spirit, but simply to deny an allegation that we consider libelous on the State press. The Greenville ewos and Chester Reporter are excepted by the $Sa from this charge of being bair echoes of tha Newos and CGsrer. John S. Wilson, Esq. John S. Wilson, Esq., our townsman, af ter a protracted contest, was nominated by the Judicial Convention at its closing ses sion held at Sumter last Friday, to the office of Solicitor of the Third Judicial Cir cnit, for the ensuing term of four years. T. M. Gilland, Esq., the incumbent, and J. J. Dargan, Esq., of Sumter, who has also been solicitor of the circuit, were contest ants. These two last named gentlemen are widely and favorably known for forensic talent and high attainments. Of the three candidates Mr. Wilson was the youngest, and his professional engagements have been confined to Clarendon county. Un der the circumstances his nomination by a body of intelligent, representative gentle men made up from the tour counties-Sum ter, Clarendon, Williamsburg, and George town-is a high compliment. We recognize the worth, the faithful services, and the marked abilities and fidelity which charac terized the administration of the office by both Mr. Gilland and Mr. Dargan, and without intending to detract in the least from the commendations due to them we voice a strong rentiment in saying that the judicial convention acted wisely in nominat ing Mr. Wilion. It is the first time since the creation of the Third Judicial Circuit that the position has been awarded to Clar endon. 'It is the first time that Clarendon has asked for it. Each of the other coun ties, and Williamsburg more than once, have successfully laid claim to the office. In pre senting Mr. Wilson the two factions in Clarendon county, with a marked cordialty never before evinced, were united. In placing in nomination they offered to Wil liamsburg one of her native born; and to Georgetown one worthy of her support. Mr. Wilson was born in Wilhamsburg county, near the historic Black Mingo. He is the grandson on his paternal side of Col. D. D. Wilson, deceased, who was an honor ed Senator, in ante be.um days, of Williams burg District; and on his maternal side, a grandson of Capt. S. J. Snowden. deceased, who was a wealthy planter of the Indian town community. When quite a youth Mr. Wilson came to Manning, and entered the school of Mr. J. Witherspoon Ervin,well known as a fine teacher and scholarly gentleman. After studying in this school for several years he went to York, and entered the school of Rev. R. Lathan, D. D., where he pursued his studies for two terms. Returning to Manning he entered the law office of Mr. B. Pressley Barron, and applied himself close ly to the study of law and the practical work of the office for two years, and then upon examination before the Supreme Court in May 1881, was admitted to the Bar. After his admission he became associated with Mr. Barron, and afterwards was asso ciated for one year with Hon. J. F. Rhame. Since then Mr. Wilson has pursued success fully his profession. He has for a series of years been the clerk of the Town Council, and now holds that position. He was ap pointed Trial Justice for Manning four years ago. and now holds that position. In these several official positions his duties have been faithfully performed; and his urbanity, patience, and thoughtfulness have won for him many friends. Mr. Wilson is an earnest, forcible, impressive speaker, a gentleman of high order of talents; a suo cessful lawyer, and a public man of large promises. [Flom the Charleston Budget.] The Deadlock Dissolved. John S. Wilson Nominated for Solicitor of the Third Circuit. SUrrza, Oct. 13.-Late yesterday after noon, just before the convention adjourned, a committee of two from each county were appointed to settle upon some plan to solve the deadlock. The convention agreed be foreadjourning to abide by the result of this committee's action. The sub-committees met about 7 o'clock and agreed before propositions were made to abide by the decision of the majority of the committee. In this session of the com mittee the following resolutions were pro posed and adopted: L. That this con'vention resolve itself into a committee of the whole with closed doors. II. That first, Mr. Gilland be pittied against Mr. Dargan and voted for. Second that Mr. Gilland be pittied against Mr. Wilson and voted for. Third. that Mr. Dargan be pittied against Mr. Wilson and voted for. fI. That the vote be taken by secret bal lot and that each couple be voted for in a separate box. IV. That the result of each vote be kept secret 'mtil all the votes are taken. V. That each delegate be sworn to vote for one of the two candidates as if the third were out of the field. VI. That each delegate be further sworn not to allow his vote to be seen or known by any oth'i- del'agate until the entire vote is counted and the result announced. VHI. That each delegate endorse his name on the back of his ballot. VHII. That the two condidates receiving the highest number of votes be the only two candidates to be voted for before the convention. II. That each delegate be sworn as fol-' lows: That I solemnly swear that I will' vote for my choice of one of the two candi dates pittied against each other as if the third were out of the field, and I further swear not to allow my vote to be seen or known by any other delegate until the en. tire vets is counted and the result an nounced. Ho help me God. X. That a notary public be called in to administer the oath. The committee from Sumter, and Mr. Gordon, from Williamsburg, voted aegainst these resolutions. The other member of the committee, Mr. Williams. from Williams. burg, was strongly in favor of them. They were carried by a Tote of 5 to 3. Mr. Wil hams is a new member of the Williamsburg deleation. When the chairman of this committee re ported on the reassembling of the conven tion, these resolutions were read and dis cussed considerably, and with a great deal of opposition from Williamsburg. Mr. Gor don who was opposed to the resolutions in the committee room, now voted for them along with Mr. Williams, when the motion was made to cidopt them. The Sumter de! egates were opposed 5o these resolutions at Georgetown and other places when such resolutions were made, but when the con vertion agreed to accept any propositions that may be made by the sub-committees, they voted to adopt them. The ballots in the first box stood Dargan 14, Gilland 16; second box, Gilland 12, Wil son 18; third box, Dargan 11, Wilson 19. Total result, Wilson 37, Gilland 28, Dargan 2. In this third box, between Wilson and Drgan, it was svident that seven of the Gil land delegation voted for Wilson, and one for D'argan. This result knocked Dargan 'out in the first race, and it now lay between Wilson and Gilland. It was well known that before this conven tion met at Sumter, Gilland was the second choice of enough Sumter's delegates to elect him. But the result of the third box proba bly caused Sumter to see how the Williams burg delegates had voted, and so when Wil son ran against Gillandi, Sumter gave Wilson her solid support. .When the result of the last race was an nounced there were hurrahs and cheering for Wilson, and he was afterwards escorted to the hall and responded in brief but hap py terms.

David E. Durant, while playing at the house of Mr. T. P. Kigore, cell over a rug and struck her chin against the edge of a trundle bed, which broke her neck, death being almost instantaneous. Her sister, only 13!years old, was so shock ed by the accident that she died this morn ing from the effects. The mother and eld est sister are critically ill. Yellow Fever.

In Jacksonville the report to Mon. day night was : New cases 20; deaths 3; total cases to date 3,569; total deaths 316. In Decatur, Ala., one death and one new case were reported. Laurens's Land Sinks. LAUnzisv!LL, Oct. 9.-Considerable ex citement prevails in the lower section of this county on account of the discovery of a rather peculiar phenomenon. It seems that about two acres of land have apparent. ly dropped about four feet, which varied to six inches. Tnis ground is covered with bushes, which are turned and twisted con. siderably. The falling in seems to have oc. curred several days ago, and owing to the distance from the highway was not discov ered sooner. Water and sand issue from a large crack in the sunken ground, the water having a milky sediment. This water ran down a trench some twenty feet distant, and killed all the vegetation which it touch. ed. One man reported the smell of sulphur soon after he visited the place. The sunk. en ground is on the side of a very steep hil and no cause has as yet been given.-New and Courier. An Attempt to Murder an Editor. On last Friday aft.rnoon a justice of the peace in Anniston. Alabama, entered the office of Editor Eriunndsi, of the Hot Blast acconipauiad by a friend and opened fire on the editor wounding him at the firsi fire. They then fired on two employees it the office wonuding one of them also anc escaped but was afterwards captured ani conveyd to Jacksonville, Ala., for safe keep ing. Judge Lynch would have meted out speedy justice to them had they not fled from the city. If reports are correct, the citizen held an indignation meeting and expres themselves as being most dastardly out raged. The affair grew out of publication in favor of prohibition that appeared in th< Hot Blast. A Bad Trestle at Laurens.
