THINK TWICE.
Politics is always exciting, and es
pecially so is the present campaign.
We have before urged caution and
conservatism in the use of language,
and again we wish to impress upon
our people that we are neighbors,
friends, brothers, and that this rela
tionship should be carefully consider
ed before giving expression to any
language calculated to wound the
feelings of another. In politics and
religion all words are more deeply
weighed than in any other department
of life. If one has convictions, and
he sees fit to proclaim these convic
tions from the housetop, that is all
right, and although we may differ
from him very widely in opinion and
have very little respect for his judg
mont, yet we must honor him for his
candor and have respect for his sin
cerity. It will not do, it will not pay,
to say harsh things about my neigh
bor because his opinions do not fit my
mould. We cannot afford thus to
make enemies. Use, if you so desire, all
the persuasive and ratiocinative pow
ers at your command, but don't at
tempt to browbeat or bulldoze. And
having failed to convince your man,
don't tell him that you are a Solon,
while he is only a milksop, and his
views unworthy any self-respecting
man. Such will only cause his opin
ions to be more deeply fixed; and
more than that, will not only make
him your enemy but will cause him
to lose what respect he did have for
you,
Be careful, cautious, considerate.
THE TOWN BALL.
The TmS feels extra -good this
week, for last Monday the citizens in
meeting assembled decided by an
overwhelming vote to request tbe
town to build the hall, and the same
evenng the town council by a unani
mous vote decided to build a hall with
two stores underneath at a cost of
$5,000. This is a genuine step for
ward into prosperity, and the future
Of Manning has already brightened.
We have privately and publicly
done all we could to further this ob
ject, believing it to be for the good of
the town, and now we feel glad that
the town is about to show a progres
sive spirit. It must not and shall not
stop here. The railroad and fire en
gine next, and in the near future, too.
The meeting last Monday was comn
poseLaaepresetative.ajga pro
gressive a body of citizens of tis
town as we have ever seen assemble
in the court house. The afternoon
was rainy, and prevented the attend
Sance of a good many, but the fol
lowing persons were present:
E C Horton, L Appelt. A Levi, M1 Levi.
A Weinberg, J M Knight, S A Nettles, D M

Lesesne, Israel James, Willis Davis.
*The meeting was organized by
electing Moses Levi, chairman, and
3. M. Knight, secretary. The chair
man stated the object of the meeting,
after which Capt. A. Levi introduced
the following:.
jWHErms the town council of the
towri of Manning has through a call
published in the MANNIN'G TDrES and
the Clarendon Enterqnise requested
that the citizens of said to vn do as
semble in the court house on Monday
afternoon at five o'clock for the pur
~poee of discussing the advisability of
erecting a town hail in said town;
and
Wurma the citizens of said town
in meeting assembled, realizing and
appreciating the necessity for im
provment, and feeling assured that
~the erection of a town hall will prove
a great benefit to our town; therefore
be it
Resolved, That it is the serse of this
meeting that the town council be re
quested to build at as early a day as is
expedient a towvn hail with two stores
underneath.
Resolved, That the choice of loca
tion be left entirely to the discretion
of the town council.
Resolved. That a committee of three
be appointed to wait on the council
at their meeting to-night, to present
them with these resolutions and to
further this cause in any way they
deem proper.
A number of speeches were made.
but Messrs. D. J. Bradham, A. Levi,
and S. A. Nettles were specially ur
gent and enthusiastic in advancing
the building of the hail; while Joseph
F. Rhame, Esq., seeing no necessity
for such an institution, fought the
measure to the finish. After the res
olutions had been freely and fully dis
cssed to the heart's content of all
present the final vote was taken, only
four voting against the measure.
Messrs. S. A. Nettles, A. Levi, s'id
D. J. Bradham were then appointed a
committee to wait on the town coun
ci; after which the meeting adjcurned.
Tiliman or Anti-Tillmnan.
It is Anti-Tillman or Tillmnan now. There
is no middle ground. It is show where you
stnd or get nothing. At least it should be
that way. If things keep up as they have
trted, every one who gets an office this
'Tall will be known as an Anti-Tillmnan or a
Tilman man. If Mr. Tilhinan does nothing
else he shall have done good for the State if
he succeeds in making every man who gets
an office hereafter to tell exactly what he
thinks of the various public questions of
the day. But whether or not individual
opinions on all public questions are made
known, individual opinions of Mr. Tillman
will be demanded as a test of the eligibility
of a candidate for the vote of either side.
There are some with whom this will go hard,
for hitherto they have been keeping quiet
when there were any issues, ardently sup
ported and opposed, and on which
there would be no crossing of votes.
But the people will not allow a man to keep
quiet now. He must tell where he stands

Mr. J. H. Timmons, of the Deep Creek
section, was in town Saturday, and was the
happy recipient of the appointlent of cen
sus enumerator for Mt. Zion township. MIr.
Timmons is a prominent and intelligent
young Man, and will prove an eficient of
ticer. lie tells us that a new Democratic
club has been organized in his neighbor
hood, to be known as Doctor Swamp club.
The officers have been elected as follow-;: J.
H. Barnes. president: Jeff. D. Holladay, vice
president; and J. H. Timmons, secretarv.
The club has already enrolled seventy mem
bers, and is Tillman in sentiment unar
mously. Most of the memlers aire from the
Deep Creek club. The farme rs are fully up
with th ir work: erops in a better conditior.
than usual; and a larger acreage in cotton is
planted.
Dr. Paul Sallev, of Pinewood, is in town
often, and it is whispered that ere long he
will take from us one of our loveliest maid
ens. The Doctor says that the lumber bus
iness at Pinewood is run on an extensive
seale, and that there is a considerable boom
in the place. In politics he thinks it about
evenly divided between Tillian and Anti
Tillm'an. The people all have very tine
crop prospects.
Anti-Tilhinanite Methods and Sehenies.
EDITO. TAsINS; TIME's: -In your last is
sue I see that another conferene has been
held in the city of Columbia and that three
of Clarendon's farmers were among the con
ferees, but that nothing could be learned of
the result of said conference other than that
they vould invite Gen. Bratton or some
other prominent farmer to be pitted against
Ben Tillman. Ttese gentlemen have a per
fect right to hold as many conferences as
they please, as they do not draw the ex
penses out of the people's pockets, but when
they have conferred to their heart's content
and find that their efforts to gratify the am
bition of some man who has tried before,
but could not come it, and that man having
had the experience of a burnt child refuses
them, then perhaps they will give up their
conferences and say to us, "If you will have
Tillman take him."
I think now the Antis are beginning to
weaken as far as trying to defeat 'Tillman is
concerned, but they are a revengeful set,
and they will watch the movements of every
man that aided and abetted in the work of
disappointing them, and when our primary
comes on, it is there where they will get in
their spite work.
Some o1 the Antis say that they will carry
.: against Tillman if they have to
resort to the scheme of running Tillman
men against each other for county offices,
and when things get thoroughly heated they
will step in and forum combinations with
the friends of a candidate, and thereby se
cure the promise of a support for Anti-Till
man delegates to our county convention;
others say that the lines will be drawn tight
l, and that every candidate from Senator
to Cominiissionel: will be voted for as against
Tillman or for him. In this case there will
be lttle chance for fence riding. Now while
I have no respect for a fence rider, I do
think that in order to qualify a man for the
position for which he is aspiring, that
should not be a qualification: some other
qualification should be more necessary than
the knowledge that he will hurrah for or
against Tiliman. Simply because a man
declares his intention to give his vote to my
man should not and will not intiuence me
to vote for him: he should be thoroughly
competent to till the office, and if he is an
old officer and is standing for re-election,
then the question to my mind will be, has
lie done his duty and given satisfaction. If
I am satisfied on these points then I will
vote for him.
I am glad to say that I am free from that
narrow-mindedness that is embodied in some
people. Why things have become so that a
man will not hesitate to impart the 'mrpris
ing information to you that you are a "dam
phool" if you should be so unfortunate as
to disagree with him, and others have taken
up a notion that they are better than other
people, and to convince you of that fact they
will tell you that no "decent man will vote
for Tillman."
The other day a Democratic club in an
adjoining county had a meeting and becatuse
a miajority of the members endorsed the
farmrs' candidate and platformu, a fe'w rail

b.When th1s'news first re-aahi-d moe I
felt somewhat alarmed for the farmers'
cause, for when the emiployees of a rich cor
pration like a railroad company seceeded
from the Gourdins club and organized a
new club at Lanes, it made me feel as though
there might be trouble, so I wvrote to a friend
and asked him to advise mec as to the course
I must pursue: whether it would be a patri
otic mission in men to go to Lanes and bring
about a compromise, or to telegraph for Mr.
Tillman. Miv friend writes back that lit
had never heard of Lanes before, and that
he made a search of all the maps he could
ind '.ut without sucess. He thinks thait 1
am miistaken in the name, as he is satistied
'that he knows the name of every place in
South Carolina that has a population of over
twenty persons, and I believe he does, as
he has been a traveling salesman for a num
ber of years, but he was fortunate enough
to escape Lanes. especially at night, other
wis,. he woul certainly remember Laues
and its froggy populace.
I believe in free thought, tree speech, and
free action. I do not believe in newspa
per boycott, because if we allow oarselves
to remain ignorant ot' what the enemy are
doing they will slip upon us, when we are
not lookirng for them, therefore do not stop
yoursubcripionto a newspaper be-cause
theedior oesnotwrite his editorials to

mention your namie in their commiumeca

been taking and if you wvant nmore light
subscribe to the newspaper whose seaiu
ments are in accord withi your own.
The MasNsoG Tntzs is daily grow'ig in
Ipopularity down here, because its senti
ments are the sentiments of a majority ol
our people, e.nd with the exception of a few
"decent" men in our little tovwn, wvho will
not join the "skim milk" crowd. everrybody
approves of the course puirsued by lie
March convention, and endorses 11. R. Till
mian for governor.
There have been instances in the history
of nations that the ambition of' somet mn
was the dowvnfall of themxe,~lve's and the'
friends they desired to push forward. We
have in this county a v'ery p~opuhlr repre
sentative wvhose success in ptolities has been
stading as a roc'ky ob-tacle- in the way ofa
man wh'o loves the "-deair people" but wanmts
'to go to the legislature, and his love for the
peole is so great that he is willing to mnake
a sacrifice, but he knows thait it will he too
niuch of a dec-p creek for him to wade as
lon as this popnlair re.presenttive is in the
hearts of the people. Then w;ha is the
plan to be adopted to sm'ash this idol?' A
call is iimde by the' aristocrticeconferces to
assemble for the pulrpose of fixing thinigs
to defeat the fartners out of thei wisu'hes,
and this ambitious man gets 'a pomneut
relative of our popular representative to.
attend the conflerence in order that tihe peo
pe maiy think that our representative is not
Idoing his~ duty towei'ds the farimers' cause,
or he would have tried to prevent this near
reltxiv f~romn attending a mee ting whlire tha
onl object was to miake a fight against the
commoii people in order to keep in posltion
mien wvhom the-y know have grown enrel!es?
nd ind itent with theirofis;aate
hae held these offices so long that they are
trying to retain them by possession, andI
think if our people do not rise now, anti
with one steady pull tear these set-fasts
loose, then in two more years they will claime
their offices by the statute of limitation. I
have nio doubt that this relative that we-nt
to Columbia was lead to believe that he
would be doing the country a great service
if he would go and lend his counsel t, the~
"kid glove gang." 1 know that it was somLe
such motive that induced him to go. because
he is a good man and I do not believe him
to be anything else than a fi'iend to the farm.
er, but he needs moore light, antd beinga
man whom I believe open to conviction, I
think a Tillman muissionary had better give
him a call and show him the actual griev
ances of the farmiers, and wherein he would
be wrong to raise his hand or voice in op)
position to Tillman and the far'mers' move
nent. If this be done my word for it, the
scales will drop from his eyes, and he will
become an earnest supporter of 'Tillman and
reform and by doing so he wvill break into
toms every particle of hope to crush our
popular representative, that is now being
entertained by some peCople; but it' he will
not listen to reason, and allows his infatu
ation for the old timers to carry himi away'
from his brother farmers, then he will learn,
wwhen to recant wvill be useless, that the
" mills grind slowly but surely."
I think it is nearly time for our county
committee to meet in order that they may
issue an order for the Democratic ALs to
organize. .ly neilibors are all ansions to
have their names enrolled so they naty mee
their fellow imemllbeflrs at the Chil meetings
and discuss the important qunesti1ns tiat
are now being agitated.
We propose' to give imore attentioii t- the
club ilieetings th:al we have doie inl I he
past. As we have sonmething to look it for
we will all turl out and enter into the dif
ferent discussions and try to convince those
who are honestly differing from us now that
we are only fighting for what we deew ja-.t
and right, and that we do not mean to in
jure any class or profession.
A great nmanV persons are differing from
us because they have ben led to beheve
by the opposition that if we succeed we will
be Sold out by Tiihoan and marche'd into
the Radical cailup: and as sonl as we eCfn
Vince these people that such talk i:: what
n:av1 he properly termd "campaign slan
der" then they will throw up their doubts
and join us.
I see that Tillman is being snapped at Iy
all tie political nec in the State, and I hcope
thakhe will lay out his pian of camtpaigi
and not allow tlese fellows to provoke huu
from his course. Nothing would be mlore
gratifying to the opposition than to fling an
insult into the face of our leader .ust to
make hin reseit it, and thereby cause a bi:
row and get somebody hurt, just to show
him up to the world that he is not the prop
er mcan to be the chief peace ofliee.r of the
State. He will not loIsc a siile vote by
following the course laid out by or for iiimi,
and well can he ah'ord to let these fellows
Publish their braggadocio challenges, be
cause we poor, ignorant farmers know ex
actly what they are driving at.
The people of Anderson did right when
thev intornmed Mr. Dcrgan that they prefer
red him not to speak at their meeting, and
I think it would be well if some of the other
counties would dolikewise, because no peo
pIe desire to hear a man whose sole purpose
is to create confusion which means tic good
to theiaseives or the party.
iarmers, get your crops in good c.,ndition
so that you can afford to go to the county
seat on the 2(ith of July. Every liai niust
turn out and give our leader sneh a w'lcome
as he has never had before, let him s-e that
we mean to make him governor if every
other county in the State deserts him, and
that the old county leaders who are oppos
ing us may depend on it that if they will
ride, they must ride in Tillman wagons.

will staiip organizations under their feet if
they stand in the way of their cuning off
best. I do not adinire such a spirit, as it
leads not only to a disregard of consclifece,
but too often to violations of the law. Noth
ing but "the grae of God" or the very best
of blood can elevate ien so high as that they
:-an feel superior to the unjust deniands of
self-interest when they meet to transact bus
iness.
We do not seC' why IDemoIcerats shoul
utiarrel or even differ at all. We know that
we are not perfect. yet we do know that we
tire quite stperior to the political painter
who would with his dirty Rladical
brush givo tie face of our countrv a
lexicafn uln. I am not afraid to trust any
fair-minded Demoi-crat. liowever uieh I nfiay
difter frio him. What ! afraid of Dniocerats?
Why I would even vote for the very devil if
he -ouhli prove himself to be a Demlocrat.
Whoever tile State Convention 4 Democrats
nominates for State ofticers will bi Iv tick
et, and shonld and will lie that of every
true Democrat. Geutleimien, we cannot af
ford to weaken by division the Democratic
party. An undividld Democratie party is
perenptorily demanded by DIemocratie pa
triotisn, that we iway avert the dangers
which are just aiead of us. I prefe'r patri
tisii to dollars ald c-nts. Soltonioi tells
us,. "A wise iuan-s heart is his rigaht hand."
I aimi for South Caro!; ria, Ine and all
I would in conclusion thunder it in your
ears that no one organization of nen can
take as good care of South Carolina as can
the Democrats of every organization and
vocation. Let every Democrat iin our noble
little State adopt as his protud iotto these
deteriined lines of another:
-Ulited and free
Forever we'll be."

Paint stains that are dry and old

plan to first cover the spot with olive

Clear boiling water will remove tea

Charcoal is recommended as an Ab

By applying kerosene with a rag
