A pleasant little pu sage-at-armM between Tho daily Mail and The In telligencer as ?<i tli?- matter of Gov ornor Manning offering rewards for tin- capture nf criminals lias created some interest, and inasmuch us some persons have seen Tho Mail's discus sion of tin- question and not Thc In telligencer's, and /leo versa, wc are taking the liberty of reproducing be low thc comments, of ?ur conlompo ary, whit li arc followed by remark , we had to make in reply thereto: (From Tho Mail of July 31.) \\ HY MANNING IS IN HAI?.

His contra dictory net lon Mu these two casi's may explain to him. und to his friends, wliy thurar 4s so much criti cism of liim as governor. (Prom The Intelligencer Aug. 3.) CHITHiSM^F MANNING UNJUST. Governor Manning is being crltl l clsed and charged with "inconsis tency" in offering a'reward of $50 for Hie capture of charles Robinson, n negro who ls alleged to have killed a white boy named Lucius Crittenden In a seciiidod^ portion of Abbeville county several ^weeks ago. and refus ing to offer a reward for tlie repre hension of Uie person who killed Mr. T. M. Dodd Several months ugo In his store right here under the nose of the whole city and country police force. Il ls one of the easie.it things in the world to find fault when you are look ing for that sort of thing, consequent ly some of those who ur?' disposed to search for flaws in Governor Man ning's manner of conducting the nf fsirs of lils office nre pounding tlie gong and calling the attention of the populace generally to his "Inconsis tency" In offering a reward tn the Ab beville murder 004e ami refusing to offer a reward In tho Dodd murder caHo. * 1 The Intelligencer ls not taking up the cudgel in behalf of Governor Man ning, because wo are fully confident that next summer he will give from the stump nn account of lils steward ship that will prove entirely satis factory to his constituency, and. we hope, confounding to his critics nnd ?'Heniles. Dut we nre calling atten tion to the unfairness of the criticism which is being mnde of the governor In the matter of offering a reward In tho Abbeville murder case and not ot-. faring one In the Dodd case. There is a very old expression, and a very true one. too. that "circum stances alter cases." Very soon after assuming the duties of tlie governor ship Mr. Manning announced that he would discontinue the custom, of of fering rewards for the capture of criminals, leaving their apprehension to the oflicers a?d the law abiding citizens of the communities in which tlie breaches of the law occurred. We don't suppose the governor meant that this should bc a bard and fast rule, never to be departed from under any circumstances. Most any one who makes a rule reserves the right to make departures from that rule when he thinks the exigencies of the occa sion warrant lt. Hut what of j he circumstances un der which Uie Abbeville murder and the murder hero tn .Andersen orrr.r I red? The clear thln'clng and unbiased mind can see that there is no just ground for tho criticism of Governor Monning in refusing to offer a reward in one instance and offering .1 reward in the other. In tho ca-e of Mr. Dodd, the vlcfim was attacked in the day Hmo In his store on Hampton street right under tho very nose of ibo city's polico and almost within hailing distance of tho county officers' quarters. And yet with Its large force of trained sleuths Uie city police ma chine failed utterly to weave the flimsiest web of ??vidence pointing to tho murderer.of tho old man. The fail ure of the county officers to ferret out the murderer of Mr. Dodd was equally as monumental as that of the city police. 1 Is lt then to be supposed that a re ward of $60. or any sum, from the governor's office for the apprehension of Mr. Dodd's assailant would have resulted In the arrest of the murderer when tho city's and ' the ^county's police forces bad failed. We suppose that Governor Manning reasoned that if the murderer of Mr. Dodd could not be caught with thiB.-tdtsWnte machin ery, it was or no use for him to offer a reward, and a reward that weald nee-? essarily be small In comparison with J rewards that had bean offered by city council of Anderson und other agen cies. In the case of thc Abbeville mur der, lilla offen ne occurred In a remote . '.ion of th? county, separated by wide Hireteh of country from the county He;U und the town of Abbe ville, th? abiding piar* of thc county officers and the town constable?. The crime having been committed In this out of the way place, there was mor*' excuse for thc negro eluding the of Il( ni, who would have benn lorced to ina'.ie a lniig trip cross country to the scene of tho shooting. Furthermore, it was reported, and the report- pub lished In tho newspapers al large, that the negro had been apprehended hy an infuriated mob and bis body strung u|l In tb? usual manner and riddled with shot. Thia tint-an and to the case, so far as the outside world knew. Hut after | '.vi ral ilu?> reports caine out of Ab beville county that there wa; no lynching, but thur the ncj?ro who shot the white boy hud escaped across Havannah river into Georgia. Sn far as we know, no rewards for tip* cup lure of tin; iie>;ro have been offered by Hie county authorities, public of ficials ",r private citizens of Abbe ville. In view of the erroneous re ports that bad gonn out of thc lynch ing of the negro, and thc further foci that be bad probably escaped into another State, the governors office departed from its custom of not offer inn rewards for tho capture of crimi na'. ' .md announced that $.".<) would be paid tor the apprehension mid deliv ery of the aliened murderer. The circumstances surrounding the Dodd ? ase nnd the Abbeville case and the relatives chances thc ofllccra in Hie respective ??bices had for appre hending the criminals were so un equal, Governor Miyining was fully Justified in declining to offer a reward in the one case and offering a reward in the other. We repeat, "circum tances alter rases" and before charges of inconsis tency ure brunei: aguinsi Governor Manning on? should weigh Hie facts in the cases in unbiased scales and bc sure that lils deductions are thc ro uit of reasoning along logical lines. (From The Mall or Aug. :t.) LOOKING AT IT SQUARELY. Murder ls murder, whether it is committed In Anderson county or in Abbeville. An escaped murderer Is nu escaped murderer, whether lie escapes from Anderson or from Abbeville. Thore nan be no difference, no dis tinction, under the law. If it is the ?luty of the local olllcers nf Anderson county to capture nn ON caped murderer from this county, lt ls the duty of the local olllcers in Ab beville to capture an escaped murder er from that county. If an incentive for the capture of a murderer escaped from Abbeville ls to bc offered in the shape of a re ward, then a reward should be offered for the capture or a murderer escaped from Anderson county. One county ls just ns good as an other; it ls just as Important to have tue taws enforced ami justice done In one county as in another. The prominence or the obscurity of the men who were killed should not make any difference. The personality of the officers of the Iuw in one county should not make any difference in the governor's office. Of course, the loenl officers should exert every effort to capture escaped crim?nala, ami ferret out crime, with in t the offering or rewurds by the State. Hut If tho officers of one county are to have the support and help of the governor's oflice. then the officers ot every county should have the Bailie assistance. To do otherwise ls not only incon sistent, but it is rank Injustice. And you can't make anything else out or it. Columns and column* ot explana tions mid apologies will not alter the facts and the logic ot the case. HAVE A LITTLE PATIENCE. Considerable complaint is being heard as to the torn-up condition ot the streets which bas been brought i about by "Th o Traction company relay ing its tracks,, the Water Work* com pany putting down new mains, the Idumbcrs putting in connections with the water, sewer and ga? pipes and the city forces putting in draina apro pos of tlie paving which ia soon to go down. Well for the love of Mikb, alnt lt all In the name of PROGRESS? We don't suppose anybody la any more anxious to hasten the work than those same agencies who aro responsible for the streets being torn up-tue street car company which ia suffering from the demoralization of traffic over its lines and the looB of business thereto, the water company which la being put to a heavy expense changing Its mains, the plumbers who would like to have their coln and the city forces who would like to get through and go on somewhere else. Isn't lt far -better to suffer a little inconvenience now and have paved streets than hot have thin inconven ience and go through with such sm other slush a-, that which last winter made the "Slough of Despond" In bid Pilgrim's Progresa look like a rose studded lawn in comparison with our] principal stricts? And for the love of Mike, cut a watermelon and forget about the con dition of the streets. BOUHAN IA SLIPPING. It seems evident that the next neu tral country to go over to tas allies will be Roumanie. The only reason sh? hasn't Joined them already to staid to be a do aire to harvest ber grain before plunging into the conflict. The crops *in all the Balkan States ex cept ir. Servia, whose anrieulture,has been prostrated by the war, are said lo bc bountiful. It may be that similar considera tions are holding back Hulearla and (?reece, although their problems are more complicated. It is even possible that those two nations will remain neutral throughout the war. As for any of the throe Joining the Germanic allies, there seems no: tho slightest possibility of lt. The most Gi-rninn diplomats hope for IH to prevent their ranging themselves with her enejnlo?. The latest move In Itouiuauls shows clearly which way thu war wind is blowing. Turkey is seriously short of ammunition, and the Constantinople campaign may hinge on, her getting supplies quickly. Germany ls report ed to have forwarded thousands of car; loaded with munitions, confi dent that Itoumanla would let them pass through. Hut Itoumanla . held them i' 1 un at ber border, where they aro now congesting the Austrian rail ways. Cars that, happened to pass .be frontier wore .seized and the con tents confiscated. The Germans have tried to ship rides concealed by false bide.i and bottoms in frf lght ears, bul the Roumanians have foiled that ruse. Shipments of German beer to Con stantinople bnvo been stopped since die Rumanians found the beor kegs filled with cartridges and shells. IJoumanla's decision seems not to IK affected by the pre-cut discourag ing plight of tho allies. Uko Italy, she Is planning to join them when their fortunes are low, partlcu.irly Russia's. It cannot be said, there fore, that she is picking u "sure win ner" and aiming to share the spoils of victory with little effort. She y rems actuated lo-? by the expecta tion that tho allies will win then by fear that, without her help, Austria and Turkey-her neutral enemies might win. Like Italy, she doesn't dare to take the rls-k of a Touton vic tory. BOMBARDING CITIES WITH POEMS Imagine lowell or Whittier helping thc causo of the Union during the civil war by flying over Richmond in a balloon and bombarding the resi dents with copies of their war poem*. You can't imagine it. any more than you can Imagine .Kipling raining poems on Herl in. And yet that ia precisely what the Italian poet d'An nunzlo did the other day at Trieste, the Austrian city Inhabited by Ital ians, which King Victor Emmanuel's forcea are trying to ^redeem." Mount ed on an aeroplane like the mythical Hollr.ophon on h's Pegasus, d'An nun/.lo flew over Trieste rhowering down phamplets printed with the ver sen of burning eloquence with which he has set Italy on fire, and on which be counts to rouse an invincible spir it of revolt in the Triesto citizens of Italian blood. It would win laughter in any coun try but Italy. There, the people toke their poets seriously. Though a icholar and a classicist-anything but what we should call a "popubir poet" -he has tremendous hold on thc Ital ian public, lt is ho. moro than any ot??eT man, who drove his country into the war, and who inspires it. hi ? i~ " ?-rr-? - - I A LINE I o' D ?

Among the speakers Who will speak down there today will be toe Hon. Tom Watson, of Georgia fame, and doubt le^ thc fact that be will be there will draw many people who would otherwise not a*.tend. Many people are expected to cross tho Sav annah River from Georgia Into this State earl;- this morning and Wend (heir way to the picnic to hear Wat son. ; x. Many people from the city ot An derson will attend the reunion today! and yesterday OB the street j a fre quent question waa : "Are you going to Carswell tomorrowT** Several coun ty officers will be there to see that prdor is maintained. Mr. and M?. lt. I,. Templeton left yesterday for their new home in Mer idian, Miss. For the past fifteen yearn Mr. Templeton has been connected with the c. A. Reed music house and ls weil known over the county. The attention of many people were attracted to a large grey automobile which arrived in tho city about noon, lt being registered from Chicago, lil. Strange to say the parties in the au tomobile had the name of thia city and the name of its present mayor; they were: Mr. and Mrs. C. A. An der Jin. Mrs. Caspir Godfroy and Mr. S. Dugan. They were on t|iolr way to Kli'i ida and had bccon the road about three weeks. Tiny bad everything along willi them but the family ?y?w and are takinr. tba journey . easy, spending tho nights along the road side camping out. Jim Jeffries, the bulldog, was along also to guard the enmp at night. The Sullivan ..ardware company has a record for .selling brooms, as well as many other things. Dp until August I, they sold 4.0U0 dozen broom * this year, which is indeed a sale of brooms and might be called a sweeping snlo. They stated yester day that they intended to make the sale about (!,000 dozen before the end of the year. Fortunately, "columns and-columns of explanation and apologies" are not needed to "alter Ute forts and tho logic, of tlie case," ns lt is seen by our contemporary. Just a small blt" of plain, ordinary everyday reasoning Ls all that is necessary to reconcile the facts in the case; and ns for our friend's brand of logic employed in this case, it needs a touic. All right. As the matter is viewed by our neighbor. Governor Manning's "sin" in this case is one of "incon sistency." It i* contended that, inas much as he refused to offer a reward for the apprehension of a murderer in one instance, he should refuse to offer a reward for the apprehension of a murderer In a later instance, re gardless of any ai d all tircurastances surrounding either case. Circum stance? do not aller caaes, with our contemporary. The pearl of great price-"consistency"-must be en shrined as a deity and rigorously wor shipped on any and all occasions, re gardless of circumstances. Circum stances have no part in any case. "Consistency" must be the guildlng star. '? A murderer sentenced to death in the electric rhair has bis case brought before the governor on a plea for clemency. There are no grounds whatsoever for extending clemency in this case, and the governor, confident of his position, declines to interfete with the order of the court. Tho mur derer goes to the chair and pays tho penalty. Dater another criminal sentenced to electrocution fe* murder has his case brought before the governor and a plea ls made for clemency. The arguments for the exercise of execu tive clemency in-the enso arc sound and convincing, and the governor would be fully justified in repudiating tho action of the court that ordered the liri sonor (hit to death. The gov ernor would like to exercise the par doning power in this case, but to do so would give rise to chargeait "in consStency," so he declines to.?Inter fere. No matter about tho "circum stances," for they havo no part in the consideration of any case, j That Jewel of great price-"consistency"- must be zealously guarded at all costs. The governor refused to offer a re ward In the Dodd murder case, ho; I must refuse to offer a reward in thc Abbeville murder case. Ho mu.vt do that to be "consistent." Circum stances do not enter into the consid eration of the case at all. The gov ernor rorusea va extend clemency in the case of one murderer sentenced to death, he must refuse to interfere in a later' case. The governor must do this to be "consistent." Circum stances have no place in the consid eration of the mat/ter at all. "Consis tency" ls the word! , * Aw, go dig a well! I The patrons of the Palmetto theatro are very much disappointed this week because the Poarppn vaudeville troupe failed to arrive, but thf.v have noth ing on Manager Plnkston, for besides being dlsappomted he ka out exactly $135.10. It happened this way: Sunday morning Mr. Plnkston was called over the wire by the manager of the Greensboro hotel who stated that tba vaudeville troupe was there and did not have monoy to pay their hotel bill and car fare *** Anderson.

Dissipations of f hrlsly Matthew son. In thc August American Magazine King \V. Lardner, the Chicago base ball humorist, writes about Christy Matthe wson, the pitcher for the New York niants, who has pitched and won' more games of'baseball than anyone in the big leagues today. In the course of the article Mr. Lardner describes as follows Manager McGraw's trou bles in taking care of Matthewson: "lt must be a awful strain on Mc Graw, handlin' this bird. I'nless he keeps his eye right on him, he's ll'ble to sneak up to bis room some night and play a game o' checkers. Thaf ain't all, noither.
