THE MANNIN TIM 81 wr~ann -0 n 3 , 49s. C4 S. A. NETTLES, Editor. WEDNESDAY, May 7, 1890. POLITICAL PERSECUTION. Intolerance is begotten of bigotry, and idle threats and evil insinuations, carried so far as to savor strongly of persecution, will in almost every in stance rebound with greater force upon the head of the persecutor. His tory is full of such instances. The early church thrived and rapidly grew under the direst deeds of per seention, and our own country would probably to-day be under British rule had it not been for the idea enter tained in the English parliament that our forefathers, and they were nearly al rude farmers and mechanics, had not the sense and decency to govern themselves. Ridicule properly han dled is always a powerful weapon; but when ridicule is hurled at the honest efforts of a set of honest men, and their friends are held up in scorn and derision as intolerant demagogues simply because they think public af fairs are not administered for their best interests, and the cry of bolter, simpleton, and such opprobious terms is raised against these plain, simple, honest, unsophisticated farmers, then does the holy spark of true pride, no ble ambition, and genuine manhood burst forth into a mighty flame to consume everything that retards its progress No truer set of men ever breathed the air of untrammelled liberty than South Carolinians, and when duty calls, or the.necessity in any way ex ats, the farmers, the yeomanry of the State, have never yet failed to step to the front. These farmers have after mature consideration deemed it ex pedient that there be a change in management, and that a new set of - officers be appointed to conduct pub e afairs. They consider the good old State somewhat bilious, and think a purgative necessary. They do not believe this biliousness anything as bad as it was in '76, but they do be Hive in toning up the system in time, and they are going to do it this year, or the signs will prove very deceptive. Had it not been for the abuse and harsh criticism and ridicule heaped upon the farmers, either directly or ,pon Tilmanand his friends, Ben 4-THlman would not have been sug ....geaed-at the March convention, but when the farmers saw how matters stood, and that an opinion seemed to prevail that the only political duty of as dictated to them, their undaunted ~spirit rebelled. They lost confidence ~in their old leaders, and sought for new. Ben Tillmanj was suggested, SwHi be nominated, and~then elected. The farmers are not experienced in political affairs, and are some times misled, but they 'mean right, and as soon~ as they discover their error they* at once right about face. They de eidad they needed a change, and de \cision meant action. Had it not been for the great amount of opposition and ridicule and vituperationithat ~they'met with before and when they Sgot to Columbia, it is very probable ~that no nomination would have been ~made till the regular August conven tion, but goaded on by such they took the bull by the horns, and Tillmnan will be the next governor. We see it suggested that Hampton >be put in the field to defeat Tillman. We do not believe that Hampton could be induced to engage inso unpolitieca sp. It would be a death blow to 9him. Tiliman has got ahold on the people that it would be hard to break. To use his own expression, it is a brehshold, and it is not any and eeyman tawolmkeabetter governor than Tillman. If the farm era want him, we say let them have him. He will govern with discretion, and the dignity and credit ofthe State will not be impaired. When he shall have overcome all opposition an~d reached the governor's chair, we be -lieve-he will lay aside all unkind feel ings and harsh criticims, and govern withhojiesty and justness. Seven large and influential Demo eeratic clubs in A bbeville county have passed resolutions endorsing the Till man platform and pledging them sefves to support Captain B. R Till man for governor. Among these was the Due West club, wich also adopt ed the following: "Besolved, That we will not cast our votes for any candidate, Federal or State, who will not pledge himself to support the atfrm of the March convention. Ived, That we, Democratic farm ers of "76, insist upon the farmers of our State to see that B. R. Tillman is made the Democratic nominee for governor." This campaign is going to be a fiery one, but let us all leave out personali ties. It grates harshly to hear such expressions as, "No decent man would support. Tillman," and such expres sions will only tend to strengthen his cause. We are all friends and neigh bore living together, and don't allow petty political feelings to burst asun der the bonds of neighborly love and friendship. Don't aecuse your neigh- i bor of being a fool or an idiot be-I cause he does not agree with you. It is in the possibility of human events that he may be right and you wrong. Have charity for all. Keep cool James B. Beck, U. S. senator fo Kentucky, dropped dead in the rail addepot in Washington last Satur afternoon. He was a stauznch cr an able legislator, and al Talks With Clarendou Farmers. There was quite a number of per- j sons in town last Monday, and as it had been whispered the week before that an Anti-Tillman meeting would be held in Manning last Monday a C, I t reporter of the TRs was on the look out for the same. There was, how ever, no public meeting but a good deal of private caucusing that proba bly amounted to the same thing. As there were several representative men from different sections of the county we approached them for the purpose of getting their views on crop pros pects, politics, and the general state of the county. Several declined to talk politics, and some we failed to see, but the following will show that our county is in a healthy state, all things considered: SALEM IS PROSPEROUS. Mr. W. D. Gamble, a prominent t merchant and farmer of Salem, said, "Cotton is up, with a good stand. The corn prospect is very flattering. The oat crop is short, almost a fail ure. There has been no increase in the number of liens, and our people are getting on all right. I am not a mem ber of the Alliance, but think it an excellent institution if properly con ducted-the best thing ever yet or ganized especially for farmers. I have heard but little of politics, but expect we shall have a very heated campaign. I do not know of any candidates. The Tillman party is strong in Salem, and a majority of our people will probably support him." SANTEE FAVORS TILLMAN. Mr. R. F. Turner, of Brunson's Cross Roads, said, "Crops, especially cotton, are looking finer than for the past three years. In politics the sen timent is in favor of Tillman, and al most every one in my neighborhood favors him." THE FORK QUIET AND CONSERVATIVE. C Mr. W. M. Youmans, has recently built a large dwelling and had it C painted, and has now one of the pret- f tiest farms in the county. He makes 1 as good crops as any one in the Fork. He said, "The Fork people are getting i on quietly and peaceably. The Alli ance is doing good by bringing the t farmers together for conference and by creating among them a kinder feel- t ing for each other, but pecuniarily it a has been of little advantage. Our a people are holding their own. The seasons have been fine and crop pros- I pects are good. Oats are a failure. t Much bacon was lost on account of I the remarkably warm winter. Since L the stock law was enacted the people in my neighborhood have to buy a good deal of bacon. There is very f little talk of politics, and those with whom I have talked do not favor Till man. We propose to abide the re sult of the regular convention." PANOLA BC OMING. Mr. S. P. Holladay, of Panola, was e very busy registering a number of voters. He says lie registered more voters last Monday than any day since he has been supervisor of regis tration, most of whom were negroes. He says that in his section crops are C fine, seasons good, and best stands for years. The farmers are thorough- I ly up with their work. Much inter- ' est is manifested in politics, apd al mst eserv one in his neighbdrhood 'l is in favor of Tillmnan. No candi- a dates in that section yet, except pos- C sibly one for school commissioner. S The Panola school is to have a picnic a next Friday. There is some talk of trying to get a penitentiary farm es- r tablished in his midst. There is a e body of land containing about 7,000 t acres that could be had for this pur- 1 pose. ____ The Tnts proposes to give all sides ~ a hearing, and our readers may de- t pend on an impartial account of the news of the day.a Rev. Dr. A. Coke Smith, of Wofford a College, has been offered the position' s of president of the Southwestern University, at Georgzetown, Texas, i with a salary of $2,500 per annum. n Ben Tillman, Col. Youmans, and ~ Tom Woodward met at Ridgeway last t Saturday, and had a very lively dis-iP cussion, culminating almost in a row.j We regret that we cannot publish aio full account of it this week, but will I try todo sonext week. The unveiling of the Lee monument' c in Richmond will take place May 29th.; We have heard of several "veterans" in Clarendon who propose to aten and again view the ground where they C sacrificed so much on their country's S altar. Round trip tickets from Man- P ning $12.85, good to return in two weeks, and special rates are offered to v parties of twenty-five. t Gen. Edward McCrady, of Charles ton, is in favor of a primary electiont for the selection of candidates for all positions including State offices, the l elections to be held in every county r in the State on the same day. He thinks a convention ought to be held ~ at an early day for a t~iorough revis- ~ ion of the rules of election, so that V in the coming campaign our people C may be assured of a fair opportunity S for the expression of their wishes up on all points of discussion. We attended the State Press Asso ciation in Charleston last week, and a had an exceedingly pleasant time. The address of Henry Watterson, ed- t itor of the Louisville Courier-Journal, was very fise, and we regret that our space forbids its reproduction in the Ii Tnra. The banquet was one of the a finest ever had in the State. About ~ two hundred persons attended, and ti each plate is said to have cost ten t< dollars. Chai leston did evrtigt in her power to make the Press men have a nice time, and she succeeded. j Especially is the Association under s obligations to Maj. Hemphill and Capt. Weber, of the Neus and Courier, who were untiring in their effoits. Capt. Weber was as kind and thoughtful to h every member of the Association as a young man is to the first lovely girl on whom he lavish~es his love. The Association was in session three days, w and much business was done. George- P iown was selected as the next place of meeting. Friday an excursion was made to Summerville and to the phosphate works. An elegant lunch was spread in the Hotel Dorchester at Summervile. This hotel is not quite nished yet, but will be one of the landsomest structures in the State. W'weakness, lalaria, Indigestionan B R~usOWNs IRON BITTERs. fi I curesguickl.

South Carolina has again been disgracal, ven far more so than a few months ago in he B3arnwell butelipry. L.exington waw last (unday night the scene of one of the most eliberate and disgraceful acts that has ever lurred the fair name of our State. Our eaders will remember that some time back, Villie Leaphart, a mulatto, was convicted f criminally assaulting a young white wo an of Lexington, and was sentenced to be anged. The day before the execution Gov rnor Richardson, after conferring with udge Wallace, respited Leaphart for a few eeks, and fearing that a lynching would esult had Leaphart secretly removed to lbe Columbia jail. The Lexington people pon finding that Leaphart was respited ud had been taken to Columbia, became xceeding wrathful, and held an indigna ion meeting in which they greatly abused overnor Richardson and Judge Wallace. hey appointed a committee to wait on ese two gentlemen, and try to get Leap art back in Lexington jail. Finally upon he written pledge of honor of fourteen of ,exington's most prominent citizens that 0o harm should befall Leaphart, and upon he recommendation of Judge Wallace to re urn Leaphart to Lexington, the Governor ;sned an order to reconvey him to Lexing on jail. Aye, low indeed must be the stand rd of honor in Lexirgton! Governor tichardson and Judge Wallace each advised gainst the publication of the affidavit on -hich the respite was based, but these Lex ngton people clamored for it and clamored Dr Leaphart's life bloed, no nu=tter what he affidavit contained ! Last Sunday night a score or more orced the jail and assassinated their victim. To-day the Governor has given to the iublic the affidavits on which the respite ras granted. One is from W. J. Miller in which he de lares that he had seen letters from the oung woman, Rosa Cannon, in which she tated L2aphart had committed no ontrage a her person, but had simply seized her )r the purpose of trying to get her to give im money, and that she did not believe he negro meant to do any violence to her erson; that none of her family believes at he attempted to commit any outrage; nd none of her kin people attended the rial; that the young woman is a strong girl bout eighteen years old, and the negro ould not have forced her if he wished; at he is well acquainted with Rosa Can on; and that he is informed that her char eter for virtue is not good. Another affidavit from Charlie Cannon, a rother of Miss Rosa Cannon, says that he ad a private talk with his sister shortly af -r the alleged crime, and that she told im she was not injured in any way and bat she did not believe it was Leaphart's atention to do her any harm, but that she ought it was his intention to rob the ouse or to get money. He further testi ed that his sister would never have sworn ainst Leaphart had not Sim Corley, with hose family she was staying, persuaded er to do so. Two letters from Miss Cannon to her other state that Leaphart did not assault I er and that she does not believe he intend ( to do so, but simply wanted money. he also states that she does not really :now who the party was that seiaed her. Clearly then the young woman herself ad her father and brother did not believe be negro guilty, yet this Lexington mob, a spite of pledge of honor, thought anid de ided that the negro must die. Leaphart made a desperate fight for life. [e seized a stick, and five of his assailants ~ere cracked across the head before a ball enetrated his skull and he lay a corpse. ~hen he was hauled out into the jail pas ge, and his body riddled with bullets. f course the breaking into the jail was the me old story: the jail door broken open, nd the keys taken from the sheriff. After the assassination, the lynchers the ext day made little effort to conceal their annetion with the affair. In fact some of bem bragged about and claimed responsi ility for the deed. The Solicitor was present at the coroner's :iquest, and developed the fact that certain f the lynchers had been recognized, and tat one person had said publicly on the treet that he had assisted in the lynching ad was responsible for it. Yet in spite of 11 this, to the utter astonishment of the licitor, the jury rendered a verdict of death by gun shot wounds inflicted by un-I nown parties." Never more did a set of ien perjure themselves. But not more so ian the honorable gentlemen who pledged eir honor that no harm should befall the risoner. And to cap it all some one, probably one f the honor men, tacked on a tree the lacard: Governor Richardson and Judge WVallace re responsible for lynch law in Lexington punty. Our wives and daughters mnst and ball be protected at any and every hazard. The mob was after blood. It is said the itention was to hang Leaphart in the yard j his lawyer, G. Tf. Graham, but Leaiphari's urdy fight and his assassination in the jail revented this. They threatened Graham -ith lynching, however, andl he and Miller, -ho made the aflidavit, were forced secretly >leave the county. They wvent to Colum in to seek protection. We believe in law, and justice, and capi-I d punishment, but for Heaven's sake dc-I ver our State from such ernel and barba-1 >us treatment as this. The Governor and Solicitor will do all 1ey can to bring these parties to justice, t alas for justice ! No Lexington jury ill ever convict, because the jury will be ymposed of some of the lynchers them elves. sen Tillmagn and the Newis anid Courier. Capt. Tillman protests against being mis presented. He ought not to misrt-present thers. The managing editor of the News ad Courier believes that: Gen. McCrady's Ian is not practicable but he has never said at he would "prefer to see a Radical made iovernor rather than Tiillbnan." Capt. 'Till-! mn had reason to know that this stattement 'as not tru~e when he made it. He also! new, or onght to have known, that the mnaging editor of the News and Courier is ot "a member of the Democratie Executive ommittee of Charleston." He ough t to tell e truth, even if he shal find it impos'siblec accomplish his p~urpostes by pursuin g ~uthful methods. It really does not matter what the editor I the Ne'vs and Courier thinks of (Capt. illman, but perhaps it would be as well to ty just here that this same editor wrote the rst editorial article that was published in a! outh Carolina newspaper nominating Wade! lampton for Governor, in opposition to D).

At our regnlar monthly meeting of Trin ity Alliance No. 901 held this day, May 3rd, ( 1890, a committee of three was appointed, e consisting of Brothers J. H. McKnight, T. r I. Cole, and P. C. Cochran, to prepare a trib- b ute of respect to the memory of our beloved } sister, Mrs. Sarah L. . Lesesne, who de parted this life on Tuesday, 23d April A. D. 1890, who respectfully submitted the follow ing: "In the midst of life we are iN death." How painfully and forcibly have we realized C the solemn truth enunciated in this short t sentence. At our last meeting Mrs. Sarah n L. R. Lesesne moved in and out before us in the full vigor of exalted womanhood: to day where is she? Death has laid its blight ing, withering touch upon her, and she is, no more. Her seat is vacant, her voice for ever silent, her body sleeping in the silent tomb, and her spirit we trust basking in the sunshine of an eterral day; therefore be it Resolved, That in the death of Mrs. Sarah L. R. Lesesne, Trinity Alliance has sustain ed a great and grievol5 loss, the coimmamity a useful christian woman, and the church a active, prominent, working memloer 2d. That our heartfelt sympathies are hereby respectfully tendered to the greatly bereaved family, and we commend them to; that God whom she served and in whom she trusted, for comfort in this their hour of keen distress. 3d.
