TE MANNIG TIMES. S. A. NETTLES, Editor. WEDNESDAY, August 29,1888. CONTEMPTIBLE CONDUCT. We always advocate pure morals, and-we hope never to be found at tempting to palliate any official mis conduct; we love-to see in our public i men deeds of nobleness and honesty: i but we at the same time, desire to I enter our solemn protest against any I underhanded, low, mud-be-sliming, calumny and aspersions. Some con temptible slings have been made recently at Governor Richardson, on mere rumor. If the charges are so, then let them be made and sustained, and no paper in the State will be louder in demanding his resignation than the Tmss; but the dignity of the Governor of the State demands that 1 idle charges should not be made against bita. Governor Richardson's fiends have either denied or refuted every charge made against him. NO DARK HORSES. There is some talk throughout the State of other candidates for the gov ernorship than Gov. Richardson. We don't see how, after the conditions kid down by the last State conven tion, any honorable man could be come a candidate, or how the conven tion could consistently allow another xame to be proposed. The condi- 1 tions were that all candidates for the i offic aoul attend the public meet- I ing and give their views to the peo ple. Governor Richardson only ap peared and hisshould in consequence i be the only name before the conven tion. The following from the Fair field Newo and Herald is a sensible ar tide in point: hbe State canvass was inaugurated solely e the purpose of bringing before the peo Plk those candidates who desired their Whatever opinion one may hoid -as ,t wisdom of this action, we must all samit that while any one has the right to come befosethe eonvention for a nomina idOn it would be in excedingly bad taste for ne wobas failed to- make the canvass to alris nme to be used. So far Govern or Bichardson is the only man who has -asde te rounds, and his speeches have sbown him to be a man in whom the piAmay well trust their interests. e i .PeOple of South Carolina know his opin- j ion about the different questions agitating the State, and should any other candidate : bIb up in the convention we believe he Vii zeeeive no considerable following. i GCsoeror Riehardson is the only candidate 4 forthe-ofice of Governor who has publicly 4 announced himself, and any other who 4 myshow himl between now and the < eonvention we-trust will immediately be I en a seatja the rear, for by such a can 4 yone shows that he is afraid i tomet pple face to face as the Gov- 1 ero did. Of course anybody can come I - befor the convention for gubernatorial I eur'but we submit that if the canvass moisu a for the purpose of letting i thepeopl kw the views of candidates, i eIR thin wo tht they want to vote only . fr those who thus give their views. There I may be some dark horses grooming them aelvesfor the race. We know not, but wei tink~thepeople of the State should be care-4 ful inzvoting for any man whose sentiments' ar not known to them. The lbghth Commandment. We ate indebted to the Charleston B.irarthe following article, which vein great kindness, commend to the carefid consideration of every reader of the Tnxi, who is not a 2 paid-up-in-advance subscriber.

Next Tuesday is the day for the second primary election. Every Democrat should go to the polls and east his ballot.. President Cleveland-has subscribed $10,000 to the Democratic campaign fund. Gor. Hagood's speech,. on our first pae, will be found interesting read A Warning, The health of Manning is in imi ient danger on account of certain :onditions in the south-western part >f the town. These conditions should it once be removed. The board of iealth some time ago warned the Cown Council about this thing, and 'ecommended certain changes, but no ction was taken. Six years ago fur Aished a sad warning of the neglect f hygienic principles, and we are Irifting to that same point again, if ye have not already reached it. Ac ion, immediate action, is necessary, md we hope the council will no Ion ter delay. The health of the town he lives of our citizens-is worth nore than the profit accruing from my industry. Whipped in at the Polls. The primary election, for the nomination >f candidates for the county offices and for elicitor held here last Friday, passed off rery quietly. The "stagers," old and young, were on hand ready to tell the "dear" (ig iorant) people how to vote. Some voted 6s others told them to vote, but the majori y we are glad to say voted as they pleased, md for whom they believed it best and ight to vote for-a hopeful sign. Oh for he day when we will have a citizenship, nanly, courageous, and intelligent enough o exercise their own right of-sufrage when there will be not enough of the sim )le and easy kind among our voters to be ed by sagacious politicians to defeat better nd more competent men for office.-Bish gnnle Enterprise. Beware of Division. [Anderson JournaLj It cannot be denied that there is a ten ency toward a division of the white people n this State on questions that are not of ital importance. If such a division should e clearly effected, and opposing factions et to contending with each other, the robability is that it would lead to great ocial demoralization, as did the prohibi ion contest in Atlanta, when the "white md colored ladies' held joint meetings in white church, and when ladies of high tanding buttonholed negroes at the polls Lnd solicited their sufrage. We would >refer a decade of Radical rule to one day f this kind of business in South Carolina. tlaybe some one will say that our people would never come to this, but we have the ct before us that the people of Atlanta did :me to it, and Georgia and Carolina are nly separated by a very narrow stream. )ur people should beware of all dividing luestions, for family quarrels are the hard :st to heal, and they might bring upon us omething more to be dreaded than the un riendly rule of aliens. The Political Outlook. [Swer Watchman and Southron.] Trhe manifest unrest prevalent all over he State is sufficient to cause serious ap >rehension as to the situation two years tence if not now. Tillmanism, as it is alled, is less what it is named than an un rmed protest against existing political ethods,. The movement is now rapidly rystalizing around extravagance in expen Liture as a centre, and the evident feeling xists that these should be reduced. Just in this point we would suggest as a fact hat has been overlooked in the geneial alculation as to the causes of an increase taxation, that it is largely due to the im nnse sums of money voted by several of he counties to railroads. Eminently is his the fact in Edgefield, Pickens, Green rille, Spartanburg, and some other coun ies. The tax levied to pay the interest an ually on the bonds voted in favor of rail oads, has in some cases more than doubled he ordinary county tax levy for all pur >oses, including the school tax, and the ncrease in the value of real estate and gen ml taxable property has, as yet, been in fficient to meet public expectation, or ower, appreciably, the rate of taxation. Chis is one thing to be considered in refer ae to the general subject. But there is mo're. Men desirous of of Lee, will see in the existing~ situation an pprtunty to "make their Jack," and they viihead a movement with most plausible ~round to support it, to upset the present eime and institute an era of reform and conomy. To effect their ends, would they mesitate to use such means as will enable hem to manipulate the colored vote, if by o doing they could ride into power ? The istoy of polities warrants us in doubting ifthey would. But if this is done, what is here to prevent the colored voting element ro again looming up as an important po itical factor? They would then hold the >alance of power, and if organized, could amost dictate their own terms ; beca~use ith the white vote no mere solid but li lno more united but divided, the brewd former leaders of the old Republi anparty in this State, would see and avail heselves of the chance thus offered, and we would have great trouble on our hands. t is undoubtedly a fact that our safety, po tially, is dependent on our unity and olidity. Anything that tends to impair hat, is fraught with danger and disaster to mur political future, in our judgment. We hould consider whether in such a case, it a not "better to bear the ills we have, than y to others we know not of?" Whether it would be better for us to endure the few mud minor ills of the situation, and remain mited, than to divide and let in the whole rood of evils that would result therefromn? ur pcople should not suffer themselves to orget these plain facts and possibilities their estimate of the political outlook. rhey have a great deal at stake, and they anniot afford to quarrel it away. When, if ver. such division occurs in our ranks, ~he door is then wide open to designing lemagogues and hungry office seekers to :me in and foment the discord until what was a mere rift becomes a hopeless and im passable gulf. Our gloomy forebodings we iope will never materialize, but we fancy we see already the signs of coming trouble, md wish to anticipate it. "Forewarned is orearmed." We should sometimes, if not lways, discuss issues, not men, and aspire a be statesmen rather than successful poli bicians. Waiter Howe, colored, of Florence, was rrested in that town last week by a Mr. Blount, white, a trial justice's constable. Eowe last Saturday saw Mr. Ed Blount n the street, and mistaking him for his brother,. the constable, shot at him with a pistol inflicting a severe anti dangerous wound~ in the abdomen. Ed Blount immme &iatdly returned the fire, killing Howe.' The coroner's jury gave a verdict of self efence. Blount is improving, and it is thought he will-recover.

(Charleston Dispatch.] The Dispatch, a few weeks since, in speak ng of the opening of the political cam paign, took occason to remark upon the node which had obtained in former elec ion contests of resorting to the adoption of nany quest'onable methods in working the iefeat of a candidate for office, and we pro ested agaist the renewal of former prac ,ices, which were devoid of fair dealing. In South Carolina, we regret to see, that practices are being resorted to by some of the opponents of Governor Richardson, which, while seeking to injure and detract ,rom his administration, show in marked legree the spirit which actuate those who ire seeking by vilification to defeat his re omination. Losing sight of the exalted position of Governor Richardson, and failing to show that he has been guilty of any act detrimen tal to the welfare of the State, his assail nts have selected methods to destroy the future usefulness of a public servant who has never wavered in his performance of luty. The people of South Carolina have D keen sense of what is due to one in his position, and they will not givq heed to the nfounded charges which have ..een made, thus showing to his would-be traducers that they have every confidence in his ad ministration, and that in his varied respon 5ibilities he has proved himself not inferior to the long line of upright men who have precaded him in high office which he now )ccupies. Whatever place Governor Richardson has been chosen to fill he has faithfully and monscientiously done what has been requir ed of him; and those who now assail his private character will find that their efforts in that direction -ill fall harmless. He will, we doubt not, be fully vindicated by a second nomination, and will, as in the past, discharge the duties incumbent upon im in keeping with an unsullied record. Ku-Klux In Williamsburg. [Columbia Register.) The vicinity of Scranton, Williamsburg ounty, is in a state of great excitement ver a recent genuine ku-klux attempt to in timidate one of the most promising men of the town. The man in question is Mr. T. D. Willoughby, one of the largest lumber anufacturers in that section of the State. 11r. Willoughby is a prominent advocate of bemprance, and about two years ago, when Lie establishei his present business, he be pan a crusad.. against whisky, which ended in the town being declared dry. This cx yited the ire of the liquor element, and a band, it seems, was organized to break up his business and force him to leave the ;own. The first steps towards this end were taken about a month ago, when Wil loughby's master mechanic, a negro, was ttacked one night by a mob, who, after beating him badly, shot him twice, not se riously, however, and ran him out of town. The mob then went to Willoughby's ouse, where his wife lay ill, created a reat disturbance, firing off guns and pis ols, and calling for Willoughby in very breatening tones. Willoughby recognized ;everal of them as the most prominent citi rens of the town, and he promptly had warrants sworn out against them, and a few lays ago the whole town was thrown into mxcitement by their arrest. The result of the preliminary examination before Trial Fustice McCutcheon was that A. B. Newton, '. M. Lee, R. E. MeKnight, S. Brooks, T. A. Creacy, Robert House and Braveloz were yound over for trial at the Court of Sessions. 3en. E. W. Moise is counsel for the defend Lats. Since the arrest of the parties Willoughby aas received sevesl threatening letters hich remind one very much of the old u-Klux Klan. These letters are not hay ng the desired effect, however, as Wil oughby intends pushing the case to the rery end. The Best Tonic In the World. The Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Ga.

Like a thief at night it steals in upon us unawares. The pa tients have pains about the chest and sides, and sometimes in the back. They feel dull and sleepy; the mouth has a bad taste, especially in the morning. A sort of sticky slime collects about the teeth. The appetite is poor. There is a feeling like a heavy load on the stomach; sometimes a faint, all gone sensation at the pit of the stomach which food does not satisfy. The eyes are sunken, the hands and feet become cold and clammy. After a while a cough sets in, at first dry, but after a few months it is attend ed with a greenish-colored ex pectoration. The patient feels tired all the while, and sleep does not seem to afford any rest After a time he becomes nervous, irritable and gloomy, and has evil forebodings. There is a giddiness, a sort of whirl ing sensation in the head when rismg up suddenly. The bow els become costive; the skin is dry and hot at times; the blood becomes thick and stagnant; the whites of the eyes become tinged with yellow; the urine is scanty and high colored, de positing 'a sediment after stand in.There is frequently a spitting up of the food, some times with a sour taste and sometimes with a sweetish taste; this is frequently at tended with palpitation of the heart; the vision becomes im paired, with spots before the eyes; there is a feeling of great prostration and weakness. All of these symptoms are in turn present. It is thought that nearly one-third of our popu lation has this disease in some of its varied forms. It has been found that phy sicians have mistaken the cause of this disease. Some have treated it for a liver complaint, others for kidney disease, etc., etc., but none of these kinds of treatment have been attended with success; for it is really constipation and dysp sia. It is also found that Sh er Ex tract of Roots, or Mother Sei gel's Curative Syrup, when properly prepared will remove this disease in all its stages. Care must be taken, however, to secure the genuine article. IT WILL sELL BETTFER THAN COTTON. Mr. John C. Hemptinstall, of Chulafrmee, Cleburn Co., Ala., writes: "My wife has been so much benefited by Shaker Extract of Roots or Seigel's Syrup that she says she would rather be without part of her food than without the medicine. It has done her more good than the doctors and all other medicines puttogether. I would ride twenty miles to get it into the hands of any suf ferer if he can get it in no other way. I believe it willsoonsellin this State better than cotton. . TESTIMONY FROE TExAS.' Mrs. S.E. Barton, of Varner, Ripley Co., Mo., writes that she had beenlong aflicted with dyspepsia and disease of the urinary organs and was cured by Shaker Extract of Roots. Rev. J. J. McGuire, merchant, of the same place, who sold Mrs. Barton the medicine, says he has sold it for four years and never knew it to fail. sHE WAs ALMOST DEAD) I was so low with dyspep sia that there was not a phy sician to be found who could do anything with me. I had futtering of the heart and swimming of the head. One day I read your pamphlet called "Lfe Amwng the Skakers," which described my disease better than I. could myself. I tried the Shaker Extract of Roots and kept on with it until toay I rejoice in good health. Mrs. M. E. Tinsley, Bevier, Muhlenurg Co., Ky. For sale by all Druggists, or address the proprietor, A. J.
