1. lAMINS i Sumter Man Says He le. Not Tied Wishes to See Peace In South Sumter, April 21.-Mr. (Richard I. Manning Haid that it was (not he, but another candidate John LJ McLaurin, of Benuettsvllle, who had injected in to the gubernatorial raod the iBsue of "Hleaaiem". Mr. M?mling quoted from an interview of Mr. McLaurin, nu hi i shed a few flay? ago. In which tile Marlboro candidate said Mr. Manning had drawn the factional lines. Mr. Manning said that he had taken the position that he would not recognize factional lines unless forced to do so. On this point Mr. Manning made the following statement: In an Interview published April 15, Mr. John L. McLaurin misstated my position and sought to .shift the re BUonr'Mllty for the drawing of the factional lines. In his statement, Mr. McLaurin was quoted" as Baying that 'Mr. Manning has drawn the factional lines in his platform. Mr. McLaurin. has forgotten evi dently his statement on announcing his own platform on March 28, hr which he Bald, BlcasiBin would be one, if not the paramount, issue ot the cam. paign. In the) opening paragraph of his platform, Mr. McLaurin enumerated the issues as follows: 'I take it that the leading Issues in thc campaign will be as follows, viz. "1. Qualifying suffrage in the pri mary. - "2. Compulsory school laws." . ?.j TI.? cv.-?~-- km .. "The warehouse bill." "BleasiBm (so-called." AVtien I formally announced as a candidate for governor last October, I said in a statement given the press at that time: "Unless it is forced upon mc, I shall not recognize the existence of two factions in the democratic party in this state. My own belief is that the time has come when the interests of ull our people will be advanced by get ting together on a platform, of princi ples, administering the government along business; lines, looking to the upbuilding of the agricultutal and' -commercial developments of the state." When I appeared the night of April 6. 1914, by invitation to address the Young Men's Manning Club' of Sumter, I again announced that I would not recognize the existence of the two fac tions unless forced on me, f~only re peat now? what I said then. I want to be frank with you, my friends and neighbors. I want to be equally frank with my felow citizens throughout the state who do not know me as well as you do-I will not sail under false colors-I want all voters to know where I stand on public ques tions. "I want peace restored In South Carolina. Thia statement I made months ago, and I have no reason to change it. I want R^od will, good feeling. I want tb see factional poli tics relegated to the past. I want the people to unite In advocating the pol icies which will build up. our state, improve and uplift the character ot the cltlxan rind triv? nnnnrlnnlfy to bet. ter conditions.

Th the vernor's race let us drop the per tonalities of file past, and looking ahead take up those questions which affect ino interests and welfare of the people. "Is is, however, only frank for mo to state, so that all may understand me, and my attitude, that ? have never been a follower or supporter of Oov Blease, nor have I' approved his course.

I pledge myself to do justly and to love merry and to uphold and maintain the honor and dignity of South Carolina. *1 want to sav that I am ready to meet any issue that ls brought before the people of South Carolina in the campaign* but when .?lr. McLaurin ac cuses me of drawing factional lines, he makes a statement deliberately in the face of the record. He has injected Bleaslsm into the gubernatorial race. Let him carry hie chieftain's banner, If li." will, but let him not evade thc responsibility.

IMPROVEMENTS COMING ON STREET RAILWAY CHANGES ARE NOW BEING CONSIDERED BETTER SCHEDULE Report Has It That Street Railway Officials Contemplate a 20 Minute Service \lthough !t U'KS impossible last night to confirm thc report it ls un dcrBtoo? that the officials of the fl. S. &. A. railway, operating thc Anderson street railway system, huve decided to give this city belter service. It ?a Bald that this Btep was determined up on et tho recent conference of officials, held in Charlotte. Anderson people who have heard tho rumor and who have Investigated I it say that they arc convinced the j now schedule will be inaugurated and I the improvements made as soon as ?thc Southern Public Utilities Company takes over the system, which will oc cur at an carly date. At present this street railway la operating on a 30-minute Bcbedulc ana the report heard here last night says that this will certainly be changed to 24 minutes and it IB hoped that some sections of the city may be able to get air. minute service. Wini ? it has not been possible to secure any statement from any of the itreet car officials in regard to ?bo report, it ls generally credited where ever heard for the simple reason that SSCh a Step h ar. bCCS COnt0?ipl???nl ?ur some time. Anderson people will appreciate the change in schedule and the proposed Improvement. i , AN APPEAL TO LAW (Editorial In The State, Columbia.) The State does not discuss the mer. ita of tho case against thc editor of the Columbia Record instituted yes terday but the State does say: The law is ample to protect the prl. .vate citizen or the public officer against malicious publications by a newspaper. The law of libel favors the citizen too much In South Caroli na and restricts the freedom of the press to the disadvantage of the peo ple. It IB a good sign that resort is had to the lawful course to obtain re dress. Courts and juries in South Car olina are not biased in favor of the newspapers; the officer charged with preserving tho peace compromises bis dignity and efficiency when he Indul ges in. abuse and vituperation and he strengthens popular respect for hts of. flee when he appeals to the law. The public officer and candidate puts his character In evidence. Often it is the unescapable duty of the editor to crit icise bim and his acts, boldy and with, out fear. The State stands for law. There fore, expressing no opinion of thc al legations on which the caso begun yesterday are based, tho State unqusl. ifledly commends Mr. Blackburn, a clerk ?n the officio of tba chlnf peace officer of South Carolina, that he has appealed for redress to the lawn that ...to Cul\=. ,t.ag,oct ?kio no? n." LO uphold and obey, and that he has gone to the tribunal where the truth will be made known. I.el the truth como out The cause is one In which the people are concorned-^of all things, what we want In South Carolina is the substitution of truth for abuse an dinvectlvc. whether in public print or on the stump. Let us hope that a beginning was made yesterday of the only settlement of controversies that may be recognized with our preten sions to civilization. James ML Moore, thc editor arrested arrested yesterday, came to South Carolina a quarter of a century ago to earn his Uvlihood, we believe, as a printer at the case. By dint of in tellectual force, by diligence and right living, he came to hold responsible ed itorial posts in Charleston and else where on influential newspaper staffs. When we knew him first he stood for the opposite of political opinions we held; be was a "Reformer" or sup porter of Governor Tillman and "TIU manlsm," but he was no "man's" man and.he compelled the respect of his opponents. He needs from this news, paper nb underwriting of his charac ter, but we cannot forbear to say that fae is an honest and manly journalist, who bolds the obligations of his pre tenden In no common affect io., and will stand- fast at any cost by the hon orable standards that hts conscehioe has set for his guidance. REDUCED RATES Atlanta, April 21.-The reduced rates which the Southeas^-n Passen ger association has order* i from prac. Mcally the whole southeastern terri tory for the MetropolitH'.n grand op era season in Atlanta, are the lowest which that organization comprising nearly 'all 'the railroads In this terri tory have ever ordered for any occa sion with the single exception of thc Confederate reunions. Round'trip tickets may bo obtaiaed front almost any railroad points in tba southern states at the lowest of excursion' rates to cover a stop In At lanta to take tn the whole season of a week's opera. The action of the passenger as soc i jetton maana tho -recognition by the railroads of grand opera mm ? public i j and southern event, in which not mere, ly a single city or a single state ls interested, but In wbtcb the whole South participates. It ls this fact Indeed that baa made the grand opera such.s wonderful sue. cess year after yum', and the other Southern cities can anare with Atlanta the pride of putting this section on the 'map aa the greatest grand opera territory In the western hemisphere.

It recalls the first real filibuster I ever witnessed and that wat. a fi li? nu v ter that was a lllibiiHter. It waa Cu I forty-sixth congress and Sam Ran dall, a protectlcu democrat, was thc speaker. T!ie D?mocratie nat iona convention hau boen called to assem bl? at Cincinnati in Juno 1880. Han da!!, ostensibly for Tilden, was a can didate for the nomination himself and ho had no ititontlnn tn nflnw Jbc tnr.T question to go on the books. Ho wat a man of powerful and imperious wtti -a tremendous personality, and if tu had been a real Democrat and not ar old Wihig, ho would have been pres! dent. There ls another Whig ven prominent In tho Democratic partj right now. Dick Townsend was a Democratic congressman from Illinois and a fol lower of "Bill" Morrison, a sure enough Democrat. Dick was what wc call a bright fellow. Good looking ready, fluent, he was a rather show] man. He was chairman of thc commit tee on revision of the laws and one day he introduced a bill the title ol which to amend certain sections o: a certain law and the speaker prompt ly referred the bill to Dock's commit tee. He packed the committeo on wayi and means and felt secure regardrnj the tariff, though he could not pre vent the brilliant and, eloquent Frank Hurd from making ono of the great est pleas fo rfree trade. lt is a curious fact that that speech was nev er' printed In the Congressional Re cord. First Southerners to Fall. (Washington, April 24.-Represent a tivy) Dupre, of Louisiana, today called the attention of the house to the fact that Leafs Oscar Fried, of Gretna, La. one of those who tell at Vera Crus was tbe first southerner killed In thc present Mexican emergency Fried was attached to thc battleship Ar . Senegas. Well, one day Dick Townsend re p?rb'-d hin hill aim ii went to the cal endar, and behold, when it was reach, ed for consideration it was found thal lt transferred wool, ault and lumber to the free Hst. When the bill wa; ready, lt brok? loose in congress a*? they say lt sometimes docs In Georgia The speaker waB Speechless with as tonishment and convulsed witli rage Hut he rallied hi? forces-that Penn sylvania set, Convorse and Warner ol Ohio and other Democrats from othci quarters who held that .it was right tc tax one man and bestow the graft on another man. But he would have been engulfed had not "Pig Iron" Kelley, Tom Read Julius Caesar Burrows, Garfield, Mc Kinley and the entire Republican side come to the rescue JuBt as Mann and .Mordor", led the cohorts to the sup port of Champ Clark the other da> when ho spoke to a bill Involving thc identical principio-the taxing of thc Mississippi valley to bestow the swag upon an opulent and bloated ship ,trust. Of course it was absurd for Die? Townsend's committee to assert jur isdiction over the tariff, and nowadays -since Tom Reed performed a par liamentary operation on congress the bill would be withdrawn and sent to tho ways and means Instanter. But they ordered things dig?rent In 1880 lt was thc palay day of the filibus ter. At least 80 per cent of the Dem ocrats rallied to Dick to oppose ref erence to ways and means. Joe Blackburn, as good a parliamentarian as Randall himself, was In the middle of -it. Hurd, Proctor, Knott, "Sunset" Cox, Mills and others supported them. I nm sure Morrison was with them, and I believe Carlisle himself, the ab lest parliamentarian any congress ev er saw, was with them. When the Randal lites and Republi cans were pressing bard Dick Town send would move to adjourn. Then Joe Blackburn In that commanding and so norous voice would arise: "Mr. Speak, er, I move you, afr, that when the house adjourns today lt be to meet on Thursday next" That made two roll calls and it was dope a score of times. Often there were points ot no quo rum, for the thing waa not disposed of and the bill sent to the ways and means committee till after a tremen tiuiia, CO???nUuuB session, uigut and day of more than 60 hours. ? r ' --- But even under the old rules of that day lt was possible to force a vote by the majority If they could keep their men together long enough and It was done on that occasion.
