THE MANNThG T lES. S. A. NETTLES, Editor. WEDNESDAY, JULY 23, 1890. The long resolutions of the clubs crowd out editorial, local, and news matter. Two or three communica tions are also crowded out. Ifthere be any trouble in Manning next Saturday, it will chargeable to rabid, if not incendiary, words by Anti-Tillman men and organs. We expect a quiet time. Keep in good humor. There i nothing in the present political con test to get mad about. There is no excuse to abuse the farmers and call them names because they wish to change officers. There is no reason why you should fight your neighbor because you wish Tillman, Earle, or Bratton for governor. Not one of them would take off his coat and fight for you if you were running for coun ty commissioner. A prominent and reliable gentle man of this county gives us the fol .,-lowing bit of political history con cerning that true and noble patriot (Haskell,) who is now so strenuously defending the department of agricul tare. Mr. Haskell was on a train of the Central railroad, seated directly 'behind the gentleman above referred tojand was discussing the political situation with a .friend. The time, three years ago. Mr. Haskell deplored the small support given the South Carolina College, and said it was a useless waste of money to support the agricultural bureau; that the $60,. 000expended on it had not benefitted the State $10. It's all owing to whse ox is gored. As long as the agricabtural bureau now, furnishes a berth for a few of the ring, we suppose it is all right. The State campaign meeting is to be held in Mnning next Saturday, Mthe26thinst., and that day will be an important epoch in the history of our county. Men of Clarendon, shal the page of our history written day pass into the future, to the blush of shame to our cheeks for their fathers Shall we imitate those 46naties which howl down gentlemen and Democrats who address them on a. momentous issues of the day, or aball we follow the example of chival rous Chesterfel which gracefully ac R.

S. & N ~inn train to Sumter, campaign nd eause the train did not arrive ~j ~8itron schedule time, and that th lame was placed on the manage ofut the road, and asked the es ~inteuent~,Col. Fowler, to explain. SCLFowler was in town yesterday, m~iade -the following explanation: us that before issuing circulars the excursion, he went to jcunty chairman of the Democrat and asked him at what hour ~4~te~*pekngwould begin. He un .dsodCapt. Gaillard to say at 12 ~&kbtthat Capt Gaillard now in that he said half-past eleven2. SHbnarranged the hour for reach igSumter at 10.05, allowing, as he thuhamargin of twohourseorde Iaseexcursion train he says reach Sedumter at eleven o'clock, an hour ~rsthan he thought the speaking w ldbegin, but as the speaking did .begin about ten o'clock, it was an hour later. There are always de lason excursion trains, and Col. Sowrthinks that- a delay of only -ht-veminutes where the conductor 1mto handle ten cnaches and five passengedrs is apretty good (record. Great care was exhibited in al~ excursion as not the slightest ac ident occurred. For obvious rea gens tickets were not collected till the last station was pseand as it was 1only seven mlsdistant from Sumter, the time was too short for the con dunto to take up the tickets, sohbe s*oped the train on Privateer trestle, inorder to compel the passengers to remain in the coaches till he could fk up allthe tikets. Had the train been stopped anywhere else a large number of the passengers would have 3 off the train, and it would have impossible to have gotten all the -ticket Aiter the train was stopped it took only twenty-seven minutes to take up the tickets, pretty fast work. The conductor in charge of the train is one of the most careful and experi enced on the road. We were very much gratified to hear Col. Towler say that he never knew of so large an excursion in 'whieh there was so little dis orderly conduct. The conductor of the train told him there was nothing but good-natured fun, and only two or three of the en tire five hundred were in any way un der the influence of whiskey. Col. Fowler says that for the size of the excursion there was less rowdyism and more sobriety on this excursion than any that has ever come under his observation~North or South. Mr. Galuchat Declines. EnItr MLNNING TDES:-I see by Tour last issue that the Doctor Swamp Democrat Ic club requests that I become a candidate for the House of Representatives, and pledges me its support.

I think this generation 'will pass away before our wayfaring brethren will be resurrected from their snowy tomb, inscrib ed "The last of the missionary Antis."

Barron, Esq., also offered a set of resolutions which are as follows: WHEREAs. the highest interest of the State will be best subserved and promoted by strict adherence to the orderly methods of the regular Democratic orgaiization, and, a priori, any effort to organize a class within the Democratic party for any purpose is fraught with evil; and whereas, no patriotic citizen, no goo4 and wortby man will, by open charges, utter that which is untrue to the injury of the State, nor by innuendoes and insinuations imply that which he cannot indisputably and clearly make plain, the tendency of which is to lessen the effective ness of the Democratic party by dividing it into factions and classes; and whereas, we deplore the present unhappy state of excite ment, and are admonished of the danger of capital being driven from our State, of con fidence being lessened in us and the rate of interest on our bonded debt being increased, and, above all, of the great dangers in the unwisdom of class organization within the Democratic fold; therefore be it ResolLed, That adhering strictly to the regular methods of the Democratic party we will put forth earnest efforts, in all reason able, fair, and honorable ways, to preserve the integrity of the regular Democratic or ganization, discouraging the evils of class combinations within the party. 2. That we will not support any candi date who poses as a class candidate for any position, F~ederal, State, er county, but will, support only such as stand squarely oni the regular Democratic platform, qualhfied in tellectually and in spirit, by attarinments and virtues, to represent in the office he seeks the 'vhole people; who will have due care and regard for any interest, and there by protect any class of the people and pro mote the welfare of the whole.

Manning. .(t may be proper to remark that Mr. Stack is not a member of the club, being ineligible to membership, not having quite attained the age of 21. But his fidelity to the primciples of the true Democracy and his infinence entitle him to recognition upon the comigittee of organi zation against the niethods of the "great bamboozler." There is no "padding" of the roll of the Fulton club by the conscription of minors, greenbackers, republicans, and disappointed office-seekers of questionable political proclivities, as, unfortunately, i the condition in some clubs, Resolutions endorsing the action of the straightout Democratic confercace held i Columbia on the 10th inst. were introduced by Maj. H. B. Richardson, and ordered to be published in two of the straightout Dem ocratic organs, namely, the Clarendon En terprise andl News and Courier. The mue bership will probably number between fifty and sixty. The meceting was enthusiastic and barn.:o nious, and was the pure, sweet, symp)hom-. ous, and triumiphant song of the uniterrixied straightout Democracy. The adherents of' Capt. Tilhman had a very large meeting at1 the organization of the Pinewood club in the morning, but these gentlemen had made their iueiirat before the assemblage of the straightout clans ia the afternoon. The writer passed through the meeting upon his return from a basiu-ss trip, and he learned was spoken ofl ini terms dirmectly in violation of the injnanetions of the nintih commandment, and it was also intimated, I learn, that it wonid be decidedly unhealthy from a hygi enic stanfdpoint) for him to grace Pinewood with his presence. He went, ust the same, and rejoices to say that no~ brokea bones grind together as he writes; tie is all there, and his anatomical arrange: ment is the same as it was the (lay before. .7. M. W. ori.

CHENEY & CO., Toledo, 0. pa-Sold by druggists, 75e.--Advt. No Orangeburg Roughs at Sumter. [From the Orangeburg Enterprise.] It has gone the rounds of a good many newspapers in the State that there was a "howling mob" at Sumter which interrupt ed Gen. Earle, and that the mob was com posed of persons mainly from Orangeburg county. When we read this we certainly were greatly surprised as we did not think that Orangeburg county contained enough of those human beings bearing a striking re semblance in actions to the long-eared ani mal to form a "howling mob." In this is sue will be found a denial of tie truth of this statement made in the Register, the Xewse and Courier and other paper.;. Capt. P. Webb Bull has come to the front and says that these men were not Orangeburg men, and that the report that Orangeburg men w.ere jailed at Sumter is a base false hood. We are glad indeed to henr this de nied from a prominent gentlemra of the very section of the county from which it is charged this "howling maob" camet. From our own knowledge of the people of Orange burg county we prefer to believe Mr. Bull's statement in preference to the reports pub lished in these daily papers of thie State. The men from the Santee setion of Orange burg county who went over to Sun.ter to at tend the meeting there did not act like a "howling mob," but they do not deny that they cheered for 'T.illman. They hollered for their choice, and may have hollered pretty loud, too, but they did so like gen tlemen and. at the proper time. Both Ankles Crushe. In a railroad smashup in 1876 I had both anlecs badly crushed. Soon after blood poison set in, and both legs, from my knees down, were covered with ulcerated sores, that refused all efforts to heal. I wa~s virtually help less for te~n years, being bedridden most of the time. During all the time I was attended by the best phy sicians in this section of the State, and must have taken a cart load of medicine, without receiving any re lief or being benefitted in any way. In 1887 I was induced to try Swift's Specific (S. S. S.) I comenced to im prove from the first dose, and contiul ued to get better, until to-dalzy I. am as sound and well as any man in the universe. This was two years ago, since which I have had no return of sores or any pain in the legs. From my experience I conscientiously be lieve that Swift's Specific (S. S. S.) has no equal as a~ blood purifier, and I eheer'fully recommend it to any one sufrering from any disease of the blood. .CHARLEs E. HAMILrOY, R~ussellville, Indiana.

Dyspepsia last Makes many lives miserable, and often last self destruction. Distress after eating, sick head ache, heartburn, sour stomach, mental depres sion, etc., are caused by this very common and increasing disease. Hood's sarsaparilla tones the . stomach, creates an appetite, promotes healthy digestion, relieves sick headache, clears the mind, and cures the most obstinate cases of dys pepsia. Read the following:C " I have been troubled with dyspepsia. I had but little appetite, and what I did eat distresse4 ( me, or did me little good. In an hiour after eatig~ ( I would experience a faintness or tired, all-gono I feeling, as though I had not eaten anything. Hood's Sarsaparilla did me an immense amount of good. It gave mo an appetite, and my food relished and satisfied the craving I had previously experienced. It relieved me of that faint, tired, all-gone feeling. I have felt so mchl better since I took flood's Sarsaparilla, that I am happy to recommend It." G. A. PAGE, Watertown, Mass. N. B. De sure to get only - Hood's Sarsaparilia Soldbyafldruggists.
