t
The <ltie*tlon or Prohibition.
i Some one hns sent us marked copies of the
1 Manning Times, containing theurticles which
are copied below. We re-publish them that
our people may see the proposition. This
newspaper Is for prohibition every time, and
will most heartily support any practical proposition
which has tor its object the solution o(
the license <iuestion. It liquor is necessary,
and the people determine to continue the
trafllce in it, then the license fc-es should be
. put Into the treasury of the county, instead
' of Into the treasury of the town. The town
1 has no moral right to engage In a business
, which is wrung in principle, and the whole
people of the comity have a jnst right to pro'
test against our opening places in which the
. husbands, brothers anil s?r.s of county peo.
pie ni'iy become intoxicated, to go on the
streets to be arrested and fined for patronizing
the legally opened bars!
Manning Times, February 17, IS!>2.
Prohibition is a live issu<\ and since the
temperance people cannot get. it otherwise,
they will go into polities. Organize a separate
; party ? we hear ask<d. No! There is but one
white man's party in the State, and the respectable
element of South Carolina will always
light out their grievances within that
party. It may be that it will take years before
a majority of the party agree that a certain
measure is best, but until that majority
does so agree the themperance folk will submissively
hide their time.
The anti-prohibition element of the last
Legislature asked ihat the prohibitionists let
(lie neonle vote on the Question. The Times
is heart ily in favor of tills plan, provided the
vote is taken in Die Democratic primaries. It
is there the Legislature is clccted; it is there
that justice Is equally and honestly meted
out; and it is there that a keg of whiskey
would not decide the vote of a nrecinct.
We aie not in favor of complicating this
matter at all, l?ut wish to see it put. forward
solely on Its merits. We do not fancy the
plan of electing a man to the Legislature on
any single plank. The chances are that he
will muke a poor general representative, hut,
according to our plan, the issue is made, lalrly
and squarely, pro.hltilt.ton or license. The
candidates for tlie Leulslature would, ot
course, be pledged to abide the result of tills
vote, ??d to support or oppose it. according as
the soverign people had thiiBdirected them.
The plan is simple, practicable, and would
be the most satisfactory solution of the problem.
Will the Democratic party allow the
question to he voted on in the primary ? We
hope so. We think so. The liquor element
will kick, but we believe there are enough
fair-minded men to allow the question to be
out. And if it Is ever put the prohibition
party will win, for the people want prohibition.
-Manning Times, February 2J, 18D2.
The Good Templars of this place at their
last meeting adopted a resolution to request
and urge upon the Democratic party the privilege
of allowing the question of prohibition
and license to be voted upon in the primary.
They wish the quest ion to be made a separate
and distinct issue, and not In any way involve
any other issue. Each candidate tor
the Leu is'at ure will, ol course, be requested to
pledge himself to be governed in his vote on
this question in the Legislature bv the result
ol the vote in the primary.
Xo lair minded person can object to tills
plan. It eliminates the question entirely
from poli'lcs. No candidate is at-ked what
his views are on this subject; whether he favors
bar-rooms or is a prohibitionist; It is
simply asked thai, the people be ui veil an opportunity
to express their preference, and
men, a majority naving uecmeu me question,
ibat the Legislative delegtlon, when this
question Is Introduced In the Legislature,
will vote in unci rdance with the expressed
wishes of their const it uentn.
Should Mits plan he adepted in every county
In the State, there need not then be any
fight in the Legislature. The people would
have already spoken, and it would be; either
in drop the question 11 the vote had gone for
license , or, if prohibition had won, create an
act establishing prohibition In the Slate.
We think the plan feasible and unobjectionable,
and decidedly the simplest way of
settling tills question.

UPPER LONG CANE CEMETERY.
Erection or Two lieniitiriil nnci Appropriate
Monuments.
Two of the most beautiful and appropriate
monuments >ln Mia Ilnner Lont? Cane cerne
tery have been recently erected by Mr. S.J.
Zelgler. of Shreveport, La., to the memory respectively
of his father, the late M. (J. Zeigler,
of this county, and of his sister. Miss Beuie
Zeigler. They are ftom the marble yard of
Mr. J. IX Chalmers, ot our town, and both in
heauty of design and elegance of workmanship,
reflect the highest credit upon all concerned.
To one entering the eastern gate of the cemetery,
they at once attract attention to their
beauty of design, harmony of proportion and
appropriateness of inscription.
The monument to Major Zeigler conslsfs of
a marble column, twelve feet high, surmounted
by a draped urn, and resting upon a die,
and tills again upon two marble bases, the
second ot which bears the name of "Zeigler"
In raised letters.
On the side of the die are the following inscriptions;
"Martin Govan Zeigler. Died
.Sept. 13th, 18SS. aued 5S."
"What I do, thou knowest not now, but
thou shalt know hereafter."
"God Is his own interpreter. And He will
make it plain."
The monument of Miss Benle Zeigler repre?
sents the broken trunk of a fee lopped of Its
C?r?HICIlt?5r, ttUU tfUbWIIIt'U Wltu
ferns spring from the base. A scroll hangs
from the trunk, with the following Inscriptions:
"Bcule, daughter of M. G. und L. A.
Zel^ler, died July 12,1891, aged 24."
"I know that rny Redeemer liveth."
"The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken
away; blessed be the name of the Lord."
Near by, In the same plot, a tasteful monument
marks the last resting place of two
youthful sisters, who preceded their father
and sister to the tomb.
No more tasteful nor appropriate monuments
are to be found In the cemetery than
these, and they add much to the beauty and
attractiveness of this cherished home of our
loved and honored dead.

Greenvillk Feb, 29. 1892.
To tho Editor of tbo News and Courier;
Your circular letter has been received. You
ask that I express my views as to tin* political
Hituation, and as to the course that the ouservative
people of the State should pursue.
Never before perhaps in the history of South
Carolina has it b*eti ho important as now for
the people to be conservative in all that tbey
may say or do in poliucai matters. For never
before bave tho white people been so divided
in sentiment and separated into factions by in;
temal dissensions. The continuation of this
condition will necessarily tend to drive them
further apart, and will prevent their co-operaJ
tion for the good of the State.
i nave no axe 10 grmu, ?.*>i nmc i m>; soual
wrongs to avenge. I opposed the election
of Governor Tillman in tlio last campaign with
all the earnestness of my natnre because I believed
that he should b? defeated. The people
however, decided otherwise end he wan triainpbantly
elected. Those who <<pposed his election
were naturally sore over their disappointment,
and a large number of them are
stiil dissatisfied. But under our system of gov
ernment the majority mnxt rule and th9 minori
I ty must submit. The more quietly and grace
fully that they veild to the will of the majority I
the bettor it is lor all concerned. J
Governor Tillman ban be?-n many timed condemited
for his unjust criticism of others, and
ui just criticism of bim by his opponents will
not injure bim. but will tend to his advantage '
.. ... .... ?1 J?? n|U? I
it lr wit* wroiif; 111 uiui v nmnuci uiu?in ,
be was a candidate, it in Him ply wrong iu others
to slander biin while be is Governor.
Let hi? fi rmer opponents deal justly with
him and (jive him due credit for all "tliat he
may do or try to do for the good of the State.
That he has done many tilings that are to be
commended noue can deny ; that he baa doue <
Home things that may be commended all will ad .
mit, but *ny iuho in bis position and with his
nurrouudingu would be liable to make some
mistakes.
Tbeu I would suggest to the anti-Tillmanites
that it would be well to deal fairly with him
and avoid committing the same sin of which he
bas been so often accused. Don't follow his
example by making uojust accusations against I
bim and by magnifying little faults into griev- 1
ous sins. This course will not bring the two
factions together, but can result only in keeping
them apart.
My deliberate, judgment is that Governor Till
raau is at present as strong with the farmers as
he ever was, and I believe he will be re-elected
over any one who will probably take the field
against him. This being true, it would be folly
ffx nnnAuo him
ll'I any Ul IUC HUVl- Jtiumauuwn iv
Such opposition would intensify the litter feel
ing which now unfortunately exists among i
the white people, and succeed only by invoking
the aid of the negro vote- Victory at aucb a
cost would be too dearly bought. Give me Till
man a thousand timed before a Scott or a Moses
!
When tbc convention meets, let him be nom- *
inated if a majority of the delegates are in his
favor; and if nominated, let him be elected '
without opposition so far as atiy Democrat is
concerned. Our best, wisest aud most conser- i
vative men should be elected to the General As ,
semlily. Tbis is far more important than tbe e- ,
lection of any man as Governor. With r good .
Legislature, a bad Governor can do littlo harm
with a bad Legislature, a good Governor can '
do little good. 1
