THE MANNING TIMES wrninnin g, S. C. S. A. NETTLES, Editor. WEDNESDAY, November 13,1889. NO PAY; NO PAPER. After our Grand Gift Distributioi we are coming down to a strictly HARD CASH BASIS. We slial send the Tnr s only for the money if the Tns is worth anything it i; worth paying for; and if any one doe not think it worth paying for, al right. THE MANING TiMs will go tc no one after Nov. 30th, except for the cash or its equivalent. That's b usi ness, and we mean it. Col. Alfred Rhett died in Charles. ton yesterday morning. Col. Rhet1 was one of the most prominent char acters in the State. He was engagei in at least two duels: one with Ar noldus Vanderhorst, in which Col Rhett fired his pistol in the air; and one with Col. Ransom Calhoun, ii which Calhoun was killed. He was for a while in command of Fort Sum ter. He was a man of great discip line and executive ability, and did much to maintain order in Charles ton in turbulent times. Another ocean steamship record has been broken. The steamer Col umbia, of the . Hamburg-Americar Line, arrived at Southampton at t o'clock, noon, on Thursday. As the Columbia sailed from New York or Thursday of last week, crossing the bar at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, she made the run across the Atlantic in six days, eighteen hours, and ten minutes, which is over an hour better than her best previous record. Tli: time would be equal to an even sis days to Queenstown. The Paris Exhibition having closed, the Parisans are now engaged in con templating the statistics and counting the gains. It is estimated that 5,000, 000 French people came from the provinces, and that their aggregate expenditure in capital was 500,000,00C francs. At least 1,500,000 foreigners visited Paris and the Exhibitior, and spent 750,000,000 francs. The En glishmen head the foreign list witi 380,000, the Belgians coming next with 226,000, the Germans third witi: 160,000, and the Americans a good fourth with nearly 120,000. Postmaster-General Wanamaker promised Senator Hampton that he would not remove the postmaster at Columbia till his term expired next February, and that he would not ap point a postmaster at Columbia (Gen. Hampton's postoffice) until he had 6rst consulted with the se-nator Wanamaker, however, broke faithI in the matter, and appointed one Clay ton, an independent, to the position, without saying anything to Hampton. This was too much for Hampton, and he at once wrote a letter to WYan krtelling him he had lied, and ~i*..b1 faith.

MmmxxNl TImEs:-We had the pleasure of listening to a most able and instructive sermon last Sun day evening at the Manning Metho dist church, delivered by your pastor. While we think the effort an able one, and promulgative of much good, yet the minister's criticisms of the Judi ciary of our State was, we think, rath er severe. He said, in substance, that "there was a time when our court houses were temples of justice ; but not so now. The juries are corrupt, because they fail to convict, though the evidence of the criminal's guilt is conclusive. The judges are corrupt, because they sign petitions for the criminal's pardon after, perchance, a verdict of guilty is rendered and sen tence passed. The Governors are cor rupt, because they grant uncondition al pardons to criminals adjudged by their peers to be guilty." As to the juries. It should be re membered that they are sworn to ren der a verdict in accordance with law and the evidence--/eal ecid'u y-of each particular case. We know that guilty men sometimes escape the mesh es of the law through the jury box, { but when we think of how prone the human family is to presume the guilt of one accused ; of how easily it is to crush an innocent man or woman into the very dust by the circulation of a damaging report; and how quickly re port ripens into repute, we should not be surprised if the accused sometimes thus escape. Certainly it is, for history and experience have taught us that it should not be left to the masses, but to those citizens who are drawn as ju rors, to judge of the sufficiency of the evidence necessary to assign their neighbor to the gallows or the peni tentiary. And how careful should they be ! for our Divine law teaches us that 'twere better that ninety and nine guil ty men escape than that one innocent should suffer ; our civil law teaches that we give to an accused fellow man the benefit of all reasonable doubt of his guilt. As to the judges. Our government is composed of communities ; commu nities of individuals. The prayers of the individuals composing any one of these communities, relating t-, that which affects them as an individual community, should be respected by those in authority over them, for it is through them the authority is obtain ed. A man is tried by the people of the community in which a crime is committed. These people select from among themselves those who are to pass upon the guilt or innocence of the accused. The judge is, generally, a stranger. Now when these jurors, and perhaps many others, some of whom are high in authority, who rep. resent that community, petition for the.pardon of one adjudged guilty solely by their verdict, should not their prayers receive a ready ear from one of their public servants? We think so; and now risk the assertion, that never in South Carolina was a judge knowii to recommend a pardon without such a petition being tirst prevented to himi from the counity wherein the offence was committed. It is, therefore, evi dent that the wrong, if any, is attribu table to the people, and not to the judge, when a criminal is pardoned. The same reas~rming is applicable to the action of the Governor in grant i pardons ; e ecially as the i(unn easene5- th-addt onal recom mendation of the solicitor who prose cuted the case for the State. The habit of granting pardons to criminals on condition that they leave the State, and thereby rid ourselves of the expense of supporting~ them by palning thema off~ to run at large on the people of other States, is deserv ing of severe criticism ; bait as that matter was not touched in the sermon we will not discuss it here. A Most Inftamxous Political Conspiracy. Our Rtesident Washington Corres pondent outlined in yesterday's Sta certain political reasons for the hasty and unceremonious admission of .\oni tana as a State wvhich apparently con ceal a crime. The Territorial oficeers, i~eluodin g the Judge cf the court which has the contested election returus from Silver Bow county under consideration, of ofcurscae to exist with the Presi ofiescome into power. The super~ seded Judge was a Democrat; the -State .Judge who will now have to -pass on these returns is a Republican. To exclude the Silver Bow ret urns Ichanges the political aspect of the Legislature on joint ballot, and two Republican United States Senators will be the dishonest result of this conspiracy, if successful, instead of two Democrats wvhomi the honestly elected Legislature will elect if the -criminal attempt is frustrated. ITi~s. if correctly stateTI, is quite as ,infamous a conspiracy as any hi~ -grew out of the Tilden-Hayes close .contest of 1876. Indeed, it is more fla grant, for in it are directly involved -the Attorney-General ot the United States, the President of the United States and his son, Russell B. Harri Sson, the man most likely to profit by f the success of such a conspiracy. -Our correspondent suggests that, if Scarried out, a thorough investigation by the United States Senate will be made of this attempt to thwar~it the will of the people of Montana. Un happily there is no power in the next Senate of the United States to order an inquiry into the election returns and the qualificetions of any llepubli e an Senators wvho may be returned from Montana. Th'e Senate is Repub lican, and it is very doubtful if there Sare enough good and true men in the a enate to join with the minority to reverse the rule of the Republican party that "right belongs to might" I in politi'-s. There is only one power in Ameri ca at this time which can frustrate this conspiracy. It is the D~emocratic . press! The Democratic patpers - should not delay or falter in denounc ing this crime from this momjnent on. Only coMnstant exposure of every feat ure as it develops an energetic de nlunciation of the crimte canl pr~&eet its commission or secure its redress - if once consummated. Thle men and the attempt should alike be made in - famous. .The .Yr will not be lacking in its . duty in this matter. .3 eakes Iaundryv soatp at M. Le-vs fo.r 5 'cenrts. Best granfulated. su11gr (only 10) Cns. Other goods piroporti->nately cheap, at M. The Arizona Kicker. We extract the following item from the last issue of the Arizon THEv WXLLT Kxow MoiRE.--A comnb nation, calling itself the Acme Oper company of Chicago, gave a show < some sort at Reynolds's hall last Fri day night. No free tickets were ser to this office. and when we sent on half breed ro:ler boy over to the mar ager with a note asking him whyi aTexas he had neglected such an ixr portant duty, he returned word thn the Kio couIl kick and be hange to it. We therefore kicked. We hire Cooper's hall for the same night, gae a free dance, and the Acme Oper company opened to an audience con posed of the landlord's cross eyed bo and two old half breeds who though somebody was gcing to be scalped. There's nothing mean about us. ' simply want what is due to the prC fession, and what has been granted i from time immemorial. When a: amusement combination sets out t ignore us and make us sing smnal somebody will certainly hear some thing drop before getting to the top o the hill. Nor SAmIo .x Worn.--Many of ou subscribers are asking why the Kkrikv has nothing to say in favor of eithe of the local tickets now in the field There are two reasons: First, becaus we were not ro:uiented on either tick et; and, secondly, because a bigge gang of rascals were i'ever up for of fiee. We wanted to run for mayor It is no use being over modest abou such things. We are better fitted fo: the position than any other man iL town. The office should have bees glad to seek us. It didn't do so, ant so we sought it. We should have fille< the position with credit to all, but th< gangs wanted a tool, and so they nom mated Doe Burrows and Hank Jonue to head the two tickets. Neither o these men will ever serve. Withii one month we will have both of then back at Joliet to serve out their unex pired sentences. We have been warned that we mus come out and support one ticket of the other, or go to the wall. Begit your wall business, gentlemen, as soon as you please. When you down u you have got to beat a grand aggrega tion of newspaper, grocery, feed store harness shop, butcher shop, and knit ting factory; all under one roof, pre sided over by one head, and each do ing a fine business. Nor Jcsr YEr.-The Tom Cat Silvei Mining company sent us a certificat of stock of the face value of $500 las week and asked us to editorially men lion the fact that the mine would prove one of the greatest bonanzas o the age for investors. We can't con scientiously do it get. We want to wait awhile and see whether we are t< be assessed on the stock or not, aut we'd like to hear of some one wh( has received a dividend. We used t< take everything in silver stock tha came along, and puff up their oli swindles without stint, but we hav< made a ebange of base in this respect We found that a company whicl would beat the pub~lic would also bea us.

Complete and Permanent. s In the early part of last year I had .a violent attack of rheumatism, from which I was conIicd to my bed for - over three months, and at times was unable to turn myself in bed, or even f raise the cover. A nurse had to be - in constant attendance day and night. t I was so feeble that what little nourish r ment I took had to be given we with - a spoon. I was in constant agony, a and sleep was entirely out of the ' - question except when I was under the t infinence of opiates. 1 After calling in the best local phy I sicians, and trying all other medicines a without receiving any benefit, I was r induced by friends to try Swift's Spe. - cific (S. S. 5). I discontinued all oth r er medicines, and took a course of S. t S. S.-thirteen small bottles- which effected a complete and permanent cure. L. C.
