THE MANNING TIMES.
S. A. NETTLES, Editor.
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 20, 1888.
The Charleston Dispatchi has been bought
by Mr. F. W. Miller, who is now editor and
publisher. He proposes changing it into a
thirty-two column folio.
The Williamsburg Star and Herald, after a
suspension of a month or so, is out again
in an enlarged form-six column octavo.
Mr. M. B. Lucas is publisher. The editor's
name is not given.
A writer in the ScientIic American says
this summer will be hotter and dryer thn
any during the past five years. The ther
mal maximum will be reached this year.
Next summer will be cool.
Whenever we see a newspaper cutting
rates, and doing work for less than usual
prices, we generally are correct in assuming
that the paper is in a terrible financial
stirait, ready to go under. We notice such
of the State.
TheRepublican National Convention met
yesterday in Chicago to nominate candidates
for president and vice-president. It is impos
sible to predict who the nominees will be.
Blaine and Sherman seem to be in the lead;
but Blaine says he will not be a candidate.
It is not probable the nominations will be
made before Thursday.
Frederick, who only a few months ago suc
ceed his father William as emperor of Ger
many and king of Prussia, died last Friday
morning of cancer of the throat. Although
his reign was so short, yet, perhaps mainly
on account of his being all the time on the
brink of the grave, he won the love of not
only his own people, bat of the civilized
world.
He is succeeded by his son William, with
the title of Willian IL, who is not yet thirty
years of age, and on whose rule the whole
civilized world is looking with fear and
trembling. He is young, hot-headed, and
it is feared he will plunge Europe into a
War

The South, at least this part of it, has
no6 yetbecome so steeped in wickedness and
nihilism, as to be regardless of the observ
ance of the Sabbath day, though, occasional
ly we find persons in offcial positions, who
publicly disgrace the teachitags of the Bible,
notably in recert days, a majority of the
City Council of A~rleston, and Judge. A!
drich on the-'Bumter bench. Our highest
judicialpffcers should endeavor to be an
eap to the people. We understand
-tilat Judge Aldrich has legal sanction
foreontinuing the murder case into Sun
day, but it seems to us that in the open pro
test of the Attorney General of the State,
and the silent protestof the whole Christian
people of the world, it would have been best
to have adjourned the case till Monday.
The natural conclusion is, if a judge can
hold court on Sunday, why not let the stores
be kept open, and anl other business be con
ducted on Sunday.
A majority of the City Council of Charles
ton passedan ordinance last week allowing
thesale on Sunday of ice cream, soda water,
cigars, fruit, etc. The mayor and several al
dermen protested against the passage of
saehan ordinance, but by the hand of might
it was done. Alderman Roach at once ad
dressed a letter to Attorney General Earle,
on the subject, to which he received the fol
lowing reply:
Svnrnm, S. C., June 14, 1888.
Mr. William Roach, Alderman Ward No.
8, Charleston, S. C.-Desr Sir: Your favor of
the 13th instant has been received. I have
read the proceedings of the City Council of
Charleston in reference to the amendments
of the City Ordinances, so as to permit the
sale of certain articles on the Lord's Day.
I regret to see that the bill providing for
this amendment has passed. It is but the
opening wedge that may in the end destroy
the respect which a Christian people have
always had for the dlay that God has conse
erated and set apart as a "day of rest."
The ordinance as amended is in direct
conflict with section 1,632 of the General
Statutesof the State, and under Section 1,634
of the same statutes it will be the duty of
the trial justices of Charleston, notwith
standing said ordinance, to impose the fines
and forfeitures prescribed by said section
upon such persons as may "expose to sale
any wares, merchandise, &c, upon the
Lord's day. Yours very respectfully,
Jos. H. Esnmz
The sections to which the Attorney General
refers prohibit the sale of "any wares,
merchandise, fruits, herbs, goods, or chat
tels," on the Lord's day, and any trial jus
tie shal upon tha sworn statement of any
reliable person, or upon his own view, or
upon the confession of the party selling, is
ssaawarrantto-seize and sell the goods of
the party selling, and to impose fine and
penalty for same. The majority of the City
Council of Charleston have but proved
themselves a set of ninnies by their ordi
nance.
But General Earle's course in both these
eases though he has done nothing but his
duty, stands forth as that of the brave, hon
est, conscientious, Christian man, whom
the State loves to honor. He is worthy of,
and will yet receive, the highest honors the
Facts and Figures from the Treasurer.
Mn. Erron:-My explanation in your is
sue of the 23d nit., to your correspondent
"Tom," showing why executions were issued
where persons held receipts. I thought was
full, plain, and satisfactory.
I stated that the main emuse was "double
entries" or double charges; where one tax
charged against a person is paid he gets
his receipt; the same person is charged in
another place or township with taxes un
paid, and an execution is issued against
the unpaid tax.
That during the rush of the collection it
was possible to omit marking the payment
of a name when it vwas made, but that same
was corrected by me afterwards when dis
covered.
I also said, that where double tax returns
were made to the County Auditor he could
not be blamed for "double entries."
Notwithstanding this, the County Auditor,
in your issue of the 30th, says, "It becomes
my do ty to correct his explanation * * The
Treasurer is mistaken when he asserts that
it is a rare occurence when taxes are collect
ed and he fails to mark it so on book." * *
That it is a "common occurenee" that the few
double entries are caused by the Treasurer's
neglect * "carelessly" looks for tax payer's
name * * "tells him there is no tax charged
against him, * * sends him for an addi
tional," &c. He also says: "In twenty cases
(not selected) recently examined in sheriff's
office when receipts have been found, two
are by additionals, one double entry, and 17
single entries where the Treasurer collected
the taxes and failed to mark them paid."
Now that brings us to the record.
I have since investigated 27 cases (not se
lected) where receipts have been found,
which probably covers the 20 the County
Auditor examined, for there were no other
20 outside of these 27, and I propose to give
this investigation to the public, that they
may see for themselves and examine for
themselves.

It will be seen that out of 27 receipts
found where executions have been issued,
5 of them were where the Treasurer omitted
to mark the names paid on book, and the
other 22 receipts where the parties had paid,
the receipts given them, and the tax marked
paid on book corresponding with receipts
shown by them, and that the executions (ex
cept the 5 mentioned) were issued against
taxes charged and unpaid.
This statement is made from the record
itself, and I refer any one to the record for
proof.
The receipts found are reported to the
Sheriff by his Deputies. You can get the
nunbers of the receipts from him, then I
can show you the stubs of the receipts
which I keep, giving the names, townships,
aid amounts paid. Get them, then go to
the tax book in Auditor's office, and you
will lind the names corresponding with the
receipts and marked paid, and there you
will also find the names that executions are
issued against, not paid, as is shown by
above statement giving page and line of the
tax charged and paid, and page and line of
the tax charged and unpaid.
Comment is unnecessary; an intelligent
public will judge for itself.

If you have never had a good picture of your
self, try W4. A. Rfeckliuj, of Columbia, who is
mding pictures by a newo and superior process.
Ils weork is recogni::ed as amoruj the tvtry best
"Anon" on the Railroad Controversy.
SrEntravo, June 14.-It is to be hoped
that the part I take in the R. R. controversy,
intended of course to be conciliatory, will not
precipitate upon my innocent head the
wrath of either Summerton or Panola.
"Summerton" was sore-headed, and Panola
vindictive. "Summerton's' heart sickens
at deferred hopes, and "Panola" taunts him
with fading visions of $100-lots, paved
streets, brick blocks, and plate glass show
windows. "Suminerton" sits in sackcloth
and ashes amidst the ruins of his air castles;
and Panola dances with ruthless glee over
their downfall, and points the finger of rid
icule at "Summerton," and calls him vis
ionary.
"Anon" is interested in the fight, leans of
course to Sunmerton because of personal
interest, yet a kindly feeling for an esteem
ed neighbor. prompts sincere congratula
tions should victory perch upon the banner
of Panola. We know there is no feeling in
the matter except a friendly one, between
these knights of the quill. "Summerton"
is naturally a little morbid because of hav
ing lost th'e R. R., and says some things
that should not hurt a man who is on top;
and Panola hits back with a vim, and fails
to show the magnanimity expected to a
prostrate foe.
All jesting aside however, and we will
come to the point at issue: Will it pay the
Eutawville Road to come through Summer
ton? We think it will, because this is the
center of the debatable ground between the
Atlantic Coast Line and Steamers on Santee.
Manning looks to the establishment of a
depot here as a menace to her commercial
interests, and while they entertain a friend
ly feeling toward our locality and its people,
at the same time they very naturally do not
wish to see our town build up at their ex
pense, and therefore they do not hesitate to
express the hope that the line will miss
Summerton, realizing the fact that any de
viation, east or west of us, would thwart the
project of :uilding up its ival by throwing
the line too near competition with the A.
C. L. on the east, or Steamboat Co. on the
west, to enable us ever hope to build up
any point, so formidable as Sumerton
would be, by virtue of her location. Some
one will say that that is exactly what it pro
poses to do, catch the cotton on the wing in
its passage to the Bluff. Will it get it? The
experience of the Port Royal R. R. under
identical circumstances ought to ansv er.
That Road was completed in 1872 under
flattering auspices; br 50 miles of its route
it lies parallel to Savannah river from Allen
dale to Augusta, from one to 10 miles from
the River. The agregate business, done be
fore the R. R. was built along that stretch
of territory, about equaled that done at
Wrights Bluff. The it. R. coveted it, and
vowed it was going to run the steamers
from the river. A lively war of rates ensued,
to the benefit of the shippers of course; the
steamers won every time, and now new
steamers are being put on the line, while on
the other hand the R. R. has been in finan
cial straight during its entire existence. A
personal friend of the writer, two or three
winters ago, hauled one hundred bales cot
ton from Baldock Station-where, by agree
ment with his renters, it had been deliver
ed-to Johnson's Landing, a distance of
8 miles, because the Steamboat offered him
inducements to do so. Freights by water
being always cheaper when competition
comes in, the steamers on the Santee only
want the business to be in bidding distance
to have its share, for with only three miles
further to reach the boat, a load of cotton
from about here, could easily be induced to
cross the R. R. and go on, if one dollar a
load could thereby be saved.
The R. R. is after the business of the
country present and prospective, and we
presume it is to the latter more especially
that the eye of the capitalist is directed.
With our poor shipping facilities, and un
der the paralyzing influences of the lien law,
which gives no higher incentive to live than
simply to pay enough on this year's account
to enable them to get indulgence for anoth
er, with thousands of our best acres thus
butchered, or even lying fallow, yet this
country produces ten thousand bales cotton,
which means that in 5 years fromi the com
pletion of a R. R. to sonie central point,
we will increase our shipments to twenty or
more thousand bales. Summertoti is in the
midst of a liner cotton section than Sumter,
and with improved shipping facilities and
a spot cotton market, there can and will be
just as much cotton bought and sold here
as there, and what does this development
mean ? Certainly, along with a local en
hancement of values, (including sales of
those $100.lots you know) it means also a
growing and lucrative business to the R. R.
And shall we suppose that the builders of
these great arteries of trade and commerce
will be blind to these facts? Oh well, some
one has told the writer that the E. R. R.
officials have taken umbrage at a little criti
cism from "Summerton," and will punish
us by diverting their line from us. K~now
ing personally the gentleman as well as I<1o
I don't believe a word of it. They are
shrewd, practical, level-headed men who
have relegated to grown up boys the cut
nose-spite-face policy, and who, knowing a
good thing when they see it, mean to
weigh well and consider carefully every
contingency possibly affecting their impor
tat enterprise.
The amourM of business done at a cross
road or private country store, while it may
be a flattering testimonial to individual en
ergy and thrift, is no guarantee of perma
rency. Until bomething comes along-a B.
R. for instance-to fix and establish the loca
tion of busines, that business is done here
and there, as the case may be, according to
the caprice of tickle fortune, whose smiles
may cause this or that place to blossom to
day as the rose, and frown u:pon its efforts
to-morrow.
Five hundred or even two thousand bales
of cotton bought at this or that place, have
made of neither a continuing city; for who
that is acquainted with the business of our
country for the past 25 years, cannot bear
testimony to the shifting character of trade,
even here in hoky-poky Summerton, "whose
annual sales amouat now to perhaps 10 or
12 bales of cotton," fortunes have been made
and-lost.
Five years ago one man bought the bulk
of the cotton at the Bluff that is now div'd
ed between three or four merchants scatter
ed over a large area. Well now, what does
all this signify? Simply this: the business
is here awaiting development to ten fold
its present proportions.
But, to reiterate, the location must be a
central one, and So:merton bases its claim,
not upon any inherent merit, or because it
is called Sumamerton, but because it hap
pens to be on, or very near the line of the
proposed route, and because it is practically
the center of a large territory than which
there is no finer in the State, offering a fair
field to capital seeking profitable invest
ment.
The A. C. Line, appreciating this, have
surveyed their line from Wilson's Mlill to
Sumerton, and expect to have it complet
ed by the beginning of the business season.
It is a first class road too. 56 Rb. steel rails
do not enter into the elemelds of a tram road. It
is now within 6 miles of Summerton, and
pushing on. This will certainly be a town
of no mean importance. Cotton buyers
will be attracted, and the cotton will come
to them. The disposition to sell personally,
instead of shipping their own cotton, is fast
taking hold of the producer, and thevery
men who now control those 2800 bales of
cotton on the west of us will be among the
first to come and take a hand in the game;
and think you the Eutawville cannot see
that it must come here too? Competition
here would develop a growing population
and a lively cotton market, that would draw
80 per cent. of the cotton raised about here,
which could not be expected at or near the
Bluff because of its dangerous proximaity to
the malaria of Santce; and, besides, if the
Eutawville follows th3 river line, the Wil
son's road will go on to Antioch, thereby
utting off a 1.--ge share of its expected tratic
from that source. Besides from here to
Sumter its line would strike miuddle ground
critics may say, that with Wilson's Road,
we onght to be satisfied with our brilliant
prospects, and let the Eutawville alone, but
as a means to an end, we want the co-opera
tion of the two roads, thereby the sooner
developing our hopes into a practical realty.
A few valuable corner lots still for sale in
Summerton, don't all speak at once.

"I have been practicing medicine for
twenty years and have never been able to
put up a vegetable compound that would,
like Simmons Liver Regulator, promptly
and effectively move the Liver to action,
