THE MANNING TOME'S
WERESDAY, R 19, 1887,
B. S. D!NK!NS. Edior.
In Congress. the Honse Committoe
on rivers and harbors, bas made the
following recommendations for South
Carolina: Charleston harber., $150,000;
Great Pee Dee, $10.000; Santee, $10,
000; Wacamaw. $12,000.
Captain F. W. Dawson of the Kes
and Courier, delivered a regular tariff
oration, on invitation, at a mass meet
ing of tariff reformers at the Cooper
Union, New York, on Wednesdav the
12th. The speech as published is an
able exposition of the position of the
South toward Tariff Reform and Pro
tection. Captain Dawson was enthu
siastically received, and his speech
made the subject of much cheering.
Thomas J. Cluverius expiated the
murder of Fannie Lillian Madison on
the gallows, in the city jail at Rich
mond, on the 14th. To the last he
maintained a stolid indifference, and
stoutly protested his innocence. In
the minds of some there was consid
erable doubt of his guilt, and one of
the Suprume Judges of Virginia so
declared, and if the revelations of time
should reveal his innocence, an other
martyr will be added to the large list
of victims to circumstantial evidence.
His was one of the most sensational
criminal trials on record. A history
of his life. written by himself, has al
ready been published and is sold for
ffty cents.
The puablication day of the Sumter
Watchman and Southron has been
changed from Tuesday to Thursday.
Mr. D. B. Anderson, of the Sumter
bar, is now at the editorial helm, its
former deservedly popular editor Mr.
W. F. Rhame, having retired. Its
present chief will have his hands full
to keep the Watchman to the high
place in journalism it attained under
Jis predecessors control.
The Catawbas, a tribe of South Car
olinaIndians, have laid claim to a large
ract of land lying on the Catawba
River, and through their chief, Tom
Morrison, have employed counsel to
prosecute their claim. A search
among the archives of the Secretary
of State's office has brought to light
an old grant to this tribe over a cen
tury old. It has the following endorse
nent:
"South Carolina; Pu-suant to instruciions
sent by his Excellency Thomas Boon, Esq.,
Captain Genera! and Commander-in-Chief
of his Mfajesty in the Province of South Car
olina, I have admeasured and laid out unto
the Catawba Indians a tract of 144,000 acres
of land upon the Catawba or Wateree Rtiver,
agreeably to the treaty concluded and rati
iled lately at Augusta with said Catawba In
dians at the General Congress holden by
his Majesty's instructions with all the na
tions of Southern Indians and their Excel
lencies the Governors of South and North
Carolina and Georgia, and his Honor, the
Governor of Virginia, which may more fully
appear by the above delineated plat.
"Certified by me this 22nd day of Februa
ry. 176t. SA'L W!Lr,
"Deputy Surveyor."
Of these 144,000 acres the Indians
claim to have remaining less than $00
acres. The Catawbas espoused the
cause of the Colonists in the Revolu
tion, and during the war between the
States volunteered to fight for Sonth
Carolina, and made good Confaderate
soldiers.
THE ACTION OF THE GOVERN
OR.
The Governor in the matter of the
two Auditors of Clarendon, promptly
decided in favor of Captain D. J.
-Bradham. We were not concerned
one way or the other, and if no opin
ion had been expressed in the Tixs
as to the merits of the parties, we
would be glad to remain silent. As
it is, we wish the position of the Texs
to be understood. It will be remem
bered that the commission appoint
ing Mr, . -E Scott did not expire 'till
the 29th of January. The commis
-sion of the Auditor, we contend, is a
franchise from the State. which after
it is once vested becomes a right
which cannot be taken away except
for cause, such as misconduct in office
and the like. It is binding on the
State, the Governor making the ap
pointment, and his successor in of
fice. The commission of 3. E Scott
contains this recital: "This commnis
sion continnes in force for two years
from January 29th, 1885." Hence
our position is that there was no va
cancy in the auditor's office until the
.lapse of the commaissisn January 29th,
1887, and consequently a commission
to another auditor previous to the
date referred to was null and void.
We have not enquired further than
the commission of 3. E Scott. If it
was issued properly, and we must con
clude it was, then we are right and
Mr. J. E Scott should have been :d
lowed the emoluments of the auditor's
office until his commnis"ion expired.
We dislike very much the distinc
tion of giving public expression to
opinions contrary to th'ose of the ex
ecutive of the State,-Our position
has been explained in as few words as
NEW RAILROADS.
Our Smter neighbors are all agog
over the prospect of a new rairoad
with Sumte r as its termin. pl. The
propo sed road is a branch or contir.u
ation of the Eutawville -Railroad, from
Vance's Ferry over the S:uitee River.
It is pojected to run by Summerton
in this county and fro:a thence in the
most direct route to Sumter. Our
neighbors may well be pleased with
this enterprise. Its advantages to
Sumter are inestimable. The route
now mapped out is through the most
fertile and prosperous part of Claren
don. It is rich in cotton lands yvld
ing the larger part of the cotion crop
of the county, and Sumter being the
most accessable, the mujor part of this
profitable trade will be drawn, we
fear, to that market. Indeed a new
era of progress and wealth seems
ready to dawn upon our sister town.
Still another railroad on a more mag
nificent scale than the first, is talked
of, and a surveying party has already
been out marking out the route. This
is called the Charleston, Cincinnati
and Ohicago Railroad, and will, if
completed, place Sumter in direct,
communication with the huge markets
of the western country. This road
will touch a portion of Clarendon.
Our esteemed correspondent "Argo
naut" describes the locality of the sur
vev in his article to-day. These roads,
if built, and there appears very little
doubt on that point, will beneft cer
tain sections of Clarendon. The im
mense wealth in timber on the Santee
River'which has been idle all these
centuries, can be utilized; besides the
ready commerce of the world will be
open to this hitherto excluded part of
the county. But it is very doubtful
whether these contemplated Roads
will add anything to the county at
large. If the people contiguous there
to are weaned thereby to other mar
kets and fields of investment, carrying
money out of the county, the Roads
will be a drawback to the general
prosperity. On the other hand an in
calculable benefit will be their conse
consequence.
A WELL TIMED QUERY.
The Sumter Advaznce with the per
tinent query '-Is It Dead ?" says :
There was to be a meeting of the
Sumter County Agricultural Associa
tion here~on the 13th inst, but there
were so few present that it failed. Is
the Association dead? If so, it is to
be very much regretted for if there
ever was a time when the farmers of
the county needed each other's help
in the way of counsel, advice and com
parison of experiments, that time is
now."
The remarks of the Ai-:mee apply
with equal force to the Clare~ndon1
Agricultural Society. Last simm er
along about the time of the Primary
campaign, the organization seemed to
blossom and flourish, spreading its
branches into every Township, envel
oping all farmers in its luxuriant folds.
It was'a grand thing-a regular hay
en for the candidate, who within the
shelter of its friendly embrace lustily
hlloed the wonderful properties of
this offspring of a progressive age. Lhe
agricultural association was to banish
all the poverty and its unpleasant con
seuences from the land. Liens.
mortgages, and all such exils headed
its proscription .list. New and fresh
laws, negating the old, budding with
gold and riches were to be proclaim
ed. Some men almost went mad in
sining the praises of this harbinger!
of a better day. To not be enrolled
a member of the association was in
sanity; and to oppose its onward
march, meant to be trampled under
foot.
Well the Primary election at last
came to an end, and with it, it app'ears.
the Clarendon Agricultural Associa
tion. We cannot recall a meeting in
several months past. The TnE~s, last
summer, joined the chorus extolling
the benefits of a properly conducted
agricultural association, and lam'ents
now the carelessness and indid'rence
displayed by the farmers in allowing
their organization to collapse. We
agree that the farmers need each oth
r assistance "in the way of counsel,
advice, and comparison of experi -
ments" preeminently at this time.
Tho projectors of the association in~
'this county should reorganize it and
rnot allow its enemies the conspicuous
opportunity of dubbing it the twin
brother of the Primary election.
The statistics of the~ Methodist

ANOTHER STRiKE AT THE
FACTORS.
Mr. II, R. Thomas, formeriy-' of this
count'y, nlow of Wedgefield, writinlg
~iu th~e last .- tan ad Smn orna o
the falliag off of cotton weights in
Charleston, joins hands vith the Clar
endon "Farmer," and pours out a per
feet fusibule on the Charleston cotton
factor. Quoting ceriain statistics of
the cotton receipts at the ports of
Charleston, Savannah. and Wihuirng
ton for the year 1884, '83, and '86,
which show that Charleston has lost in
shipuents during these years 119,897
bales, Mr. Thomnas says:
It wmiloi be wd 1 for :' Exchange to nob

Mr. Thomas comnents sharnly on
the high charges the f'armer Ias to
pay the c tor. "In order," lie says,
"to get $40 the farmer has to agree to
ship him two bales of cotton, upon
which the charges are:
Drayage 2 bls. cotton, $ .40
Storuge and weighing two bls.
cotton, 1,00
Insurance 2 bls. cotton, .40
Commission 2 bs. cotton, 2.00
Loss weights 2 bis. cotton, 1.80
Interest $.0, eight months, 2.66
Total, $8.26
This shows that it costs farmers 21
per cent. interest to deal with the fac
tor."
The article closes with this startling
peroration
in on, of Ti1an:m's speeches he tels zis of
Dante's Heil, over ti d.or of which was in
scriel t.ei words : "'Who evt.:rs here
b-.vs hop' beitnd." There is a clos(1-:d

Apropos of this subject, the follow
ing clipped from the News and Couri
er is worth reading:
If the agitation of this subject shall
cause a correction of tLe evil cow
plained of, Col. Nelson will have done
a service as well to the Charleston cot
ton factors as to the farmers of the
tate by originating the investigations
he is said to have caused. The faria
rs of the State have, of course, no in
terest whatever in the substantiation
:r non-substantiation of charges of
"fraud" against any factor or factors,
mnd so far as that question (question
o2 fraud) is concerned, no service
whatever has been rend:ered to the
farmers by the investigation recently
made by the Chamber of Commerce.
We hav'e never seen the letter of Colo
el Nelson ref'. :ed to, but no such
question is made in the aflidavits sub
mitted by Ce!. Nelson, as published in
the proceedings of the Chamber of
Commerce. These allidavits refer on
ly to "loss in weight" in cotton ship
ped. They do not say a single word
about '-iraud" on the part of any fac-i
tor. Giving Col. Nelson credit for or
liaysne, .we taite it for granted
that he meant by his affidav its to sup
port the real charge maide by him,
owever unhappily or unguardedly
his communication to the \-es and
(otrie'r may have been worded. We
cannot, therefore, but think Le me a
to make the charge that cotton ship
ped to Charleston had from some
cause resulhed in a loss of weight to
the shipper, and that that loss under
the circumnstances of the case, sho uld
not have occurredI. 'The Chamber of
Commerce, however, passed over this
carge, or virtually' did so, if wve un
erstand the report of its committee,
and directed its attention to the ques
tion whether some of its members had
committed a "fraud," and whether or
not they should be expelled.
As I have already said, we respect
fully submit that the farmers have. no
interest whatever direc'tiy in that
uestion. In fact, wve are sorry that
Colonel Nelson's communication was
so worded as to permit such a diver
sion from the rcal question; he must
bave sought to raise the question, at
least, alone in which the farmers are
interested, to wit, the cause of so
much loss in the weight of cotton
hipped to Charleston, as is showvn so~
freuently by the returns of sales
ade to'them. Now this question,
loss of weight) the Committee of the
hamber c-f Commterce treat very
ightly, if not sneeringly. 'T hey say
'it is not int the province of the Ex
hne to investigate simple losses of
~eight." That, as we have said, is
te only question, in conetion with
tis subject, in which the f'arm-ers are
t. all imerested. If we canntt have
tat investigated and the evil correct
d or set at rest, we as far':uers care
flOthing about suech investigatio~ns.
But we cannot think the C;h-mber of
Commerce will endorse the report o'f
ter committee on this point. We
hope they will make a thiorough in
'estigat.ion of this matter, dirteted to
the point raised. It is one, I canas
sure them, in which they will fn
themselves as miuch. if no: more, i
terested than the farmers are.

Bh-;ir, anti propose an aimendment to in
crew z- the pers osn of 50 a month, now paid
to his widw, to Q .tv'00 a year. This was
cit(- a srurprise to some of the Senators,
but thiy Ml dr. Vs--st tbeiy would vote to in
creae Mrs. B- r's pension as a separate
m(-asure if he wouldiwithdraw his proposi
auon. Mr. Yest took note of these fair promie
ses and rook his seat. Then Senator Berry
of Arkacnas, who rarely speaks in the Sen
ate charmber, arose to say that if Mrs. Logan
was to have -2.000 a year, he did not see
why every widow of every oflicer frou Ma
iJr-Generals to Lieutenants should not have
the same. He expessed high regard for the
dead Senator, but ho felt sure that General
Logan hiuself, would not desire his widow
to be put on the pcnsion roll. Shortly af
ter this the bill passed, but the Arkansas
Senator did not vote either way.
Immae-1iatelv senator Vest was on his feof
again asking permission to introduce a bi 1
out of order, and off-ring a measnre to in
crease the pension of (eneral Blair's widow
to S . ear. The Senators were aga.n
surprised. but they were in a generous
mood. and not being able to turn so quick
ly from the promises they had made while
Mrs. Log.In's pension was up, they voted as
requested by the Senator from Missouri.
Mr. Vnst smiled complacently at his achiev
inent and the Senate proceeded with rou
tine business.
There are different rumors with regard to
another tariff cids, but it is probabhle the
question as to whether revenue matters are
to be- taken up in the House this session
will be -zvttled within two or three days. Mr.
Morrison seems to be waiting ad Mr. R1an
dall is watching. When .1r. Morrisoin was
askt-d when he would try again to cil up
his tariff hill, he replie. -As s:wn as enough
of those Who voted against me before, come
to mo and say they will vote w:th tae. As
soon as I know the motion will I'- earried I
will make it." What are you going to 'o
about the tariff?" was ashed of one of the
best informed of Mr. Randall's followers.
-- We are going to reduce the revenue," he
answered. "If Mr. Morrison does not move
soon Mr. Randall will take the initiative."
The definite result of the caucus held at
Mr. rtaindall's houso a few evenings sILce
was a decision to call up the revenue propo
Aitions, which favors a rapeal of the tobacco
tait, the tax on alehohol used in the tts, and
