TE KNNING TIXES ti w ei LOUIS APPELT, Editor. h ti Wednesday, June 27, 1894. i 0 ti Senator Irby has driven another tl D into the coffin of his slanderers by a Voting with those that favor the in- v et ecome t When the campaigners come to Manning on the 10th of July let us give them a big reception. Let every man that can, be in Manning on that t day. b If Cal Caughman's Sumter speech f is a fair sample of his attempting to c assist Senator Butler in his fight for p re-election, the Senator should pray a to be delivered from his friends. ti The Charlotte Observer said it was so hot in South Carolina last Satur- a day that even the railroad track melted. The same paper said that Butler would beat Tillman, and it was not joking either. The South Carolina College will conclude its commencement exercises to-day. The annual orator this year t was CoL Hugh Garden, of New York. Col. Garden is originally from Sum ter, and is a nephew of Dr. S. C. C. t Richardson. The rumors that have been rife c about George D. Tillman entering I the gubernatorial race continue, and E it would not surprise us to see him a < full fledged candidate. The Reform- I ers will not be caught napping by the j pretended inactiveness of the opposi- t tion, and will keep up - their organiza-' tions to be ready to prevent sur- 1 prises. The Washington correspondent of the Headlight says that a fund of $250,000 has been raised in Wash. ington to carry South Carolina against Tillman. The indications are that this vast amount of money is being spent in hauling heelers and howlers over railroads to attend the meetings to whoop things up for their employers. Congressman McLaurin writes us that owing to the discussion of the anti-option and tariff bills he will not I have time to go around to make I many speeches. However, he will be j at.Florence on the 6th of July, and I there hopes to meet some of his Clar *endon friends. The meeting at Flor ence will be a rouser, and every Re former that can do so should go there. The campaign meeting in Sumter ' last Saturday was a quiet and i a ant oine, andQ Tmma2 had. a jrt to ~?get up a uss was a Sumter' mnand a railroad employee, no one: approved of his conduct. Sadi Carnot, President of the French Republic, was assiae last Sunday while being driven through the streets of Lyons on his way to a banquet given' in his honor. The assassin was an Italian anarchist who, under the pretence of presenting. a petition, reachedathe President's car riage and took from a newspaper a dagger and plunged it into the heart of the President. The murderer was captured and is now in the hands of the officers. The campaign in Georgia this year is lively. The old timers are running Gen. Evans on his fine war record,1i and the opposition are banking on Mr. Atkinson, a young lawyer from Coweta. The young man from Coweta is far ahead in the race, and:] will beat the old General badly. "Black Jack" Gordon undertook to lend a helping hand to his old friend Evans, but the people are not hero 1 worshipping these days, and in Gen. Gordon's own county Atkinson beat Evans three to one. The Georgians have profited by the leessons gath ered from their brethren in South Carolina. The people want a mana that is with them, none others need apply._________ The Piedmont Headlight is not sat isfied with fighting McLaurin on ac count of his growing popularity, but is now jumping into Tindal because it 1 is afraid Tindal will make it interest- 1 ing for the Headlight's candidate. The Headlight's man is John Gary< Evans, and ie is agood one, but he 1 is ot the only good one in the Re form Movement. All the candidates] so far announced are good men and true Reformers, and which ever one wins the prize the Movement will 1 continue to march on, and tbere is no sense in the Headlight fighting every body that happens to differ with it. We say, hurrah for Tindal! a safe man to put at the helm of the State. In accordance with the action taken by the Reform Conference in Colum- I -bia last April the Reform clubs' throughout the county will meet on I the 4th day of August to elect dele gates to a County Reform Conven tion, which Convention will send delegates to Columbia to select a standard bearer to put forward in the coming primary. The candidates be fore the people will submit their C chances to the Convention and The one receiving a majority vote will be t declared the nominee of the Reform faction. It will be seen how impor- I tant it is for every Reformer to keepa himself posted so that he can select a the man of his choice, which he will I be called upon to make at his club 'l meeting on the 4th of August. Every c Reform club in electing its delegates J is required to have a vote on the t question of Governor, and the candi- ] date receiving the majority vote of i1 the club will be declared the choice I of the club, and the delegation sent i to-the County Convention will vote a annardingly. Clarendon's candidate, James E. indal, made the finest speech that as made in Sumter last Saturday. is audience gave him a very atten ve hearing and after the meeting as over his speech was the talk of te town. Tindal gains votes at' rery place the campaigners are Bard. The Columbia Journal announces iat it has sold some of its space to e supporters of Senator Butler, and at Captain J. G. Capers will edit iat department. Captain Capers is good writer and may do good ser ice providing he don't refuse to bey the orders of his chief as he did rhen the Governor ordered him to ke his company to Darlington to ssist in preserving the peace. We understand that there is a gen [eman desirous of being a candidate >r the office of county supervisor, ut he is so afraid that some one will nd it out, he refrains from putting his ard in the paper. Just how he ex ects to get elected we fail to under tand, because it is an unwritten law at no man can be elected to such n important office without letting [e people know he is a candidate, nd the way to do that, is to put a ard in the Manning Times. See! The Washington correspondent of he News and Courier says that Gov. 3l1man is put down as a Populist, ad will probably be denied admis ion into the Democratic caucasses. Vhether Tillman is admitted into he Democratic caucusses or not akes little difference to his constit tents. They are not sending him to he Senate to be led around by the osses, and when he reaches Wash ngton the Democratic and Republi an Senators will find in Tillman a nan from the people, and who is ient there by the people. The same =rrespondent says it is reported that unds are being raised to help Till nan defeat Butler. Who is con ributing these funds? Is it Wall treet? Why should funds be raised o defeat Butler when it is conceded hat Tillman will beat Butler easier han he beat Shepperd ? If any 0: he monied men in Washington have noney they would like to dispose of, 3outh Carolina is a good place to iend it. Plenty of takers will be ound, but the result of the Senatorial ntest will not be changed. Congressman Shell's card, whici tppears in another column, does nol ive a satisfactory answer to the rave charges brought against hin a the Piedmont Headlight. Thai *per charged him with double deal ng towards Tillman. The charge i hat he pretends to be Tillman's riend and supporter, while at the ame time he is writing letters about he country asking his friends to sup ort Butler. The Headlight claims that he treacherous letter can be published fShell denies the~ charge against him. hell does not deny the charge, and rom his card as published in the Etegister, which we re-produce, he rirtually makes an admssio. T!M . : e w put some of the 3reenville man's letters in print asa -eply. When the Headlight charged shell with being a traitor we did not yelieve a word of it, because we had -easons to believe that Shell was be ng persecuted by enemies, but since shell virtually admits deceiving Till' nan we must say that unless Shell somes out and prove~s the falsity of lie Headlight's charge he will stand ,efore the people as a Benedict Ar old, and the Headlight will get the :redit of exposing an ingrate and a raitor to the Reform Movement. Il shell has the slightest spark of grati ude left he will remember that had t not been for Ben Tillmnan his name ould not have been known outside >f Laurens, and while he has a right o support anybody he pleases,he has mot the right to play false to thos4 hat made him what he is. We noticed a card in the Register igned "A Reformer," and dated Bonneau's, S. C., which says that enator Butler will be asked to ex lain his connectlon with the acad imy of music swindle, and the ques ion must be answered at Barnwell. enator Butler is a candidate for re lection to the United States Senate, md Governor Tillman is also acandidate. Either of these hese candidates should make them elves perfectly clear on all the issues mefore t'he people, and the people ave a right to question them, but ye do not think it right nor is it de ent in a candidate being harrassed ith all sorts of irrelevant questions. A.s far as the academy of music mat. er is concerned those who bought ickets did so knowing they were in resting in lottery, and they took their ~hances. If they drew blanks it was heir bad luck, but that has nothing o do with this campaign. Senator Sutler has been endorsed time and gain since the academy of music ffair, and it is too late and unfair tc ring the matter up now. The peo >e have pardoned him for the offense ad they should not go back upon it. When the campaigners get here we ope Clarendon will sustain her past -ecord. She has the proud dis inction of having the most orderly neetings in the State. We want a arge crowd to be here to greet the speakers, but we do not want a man o come if his purpose is to harass senator Butler with matters that are lead and gone. This is a strong &'llman and Tindal county, and for hat reason we beg the people to ~ive every candidate a fair showing. We want the people to remember the ~adidates are our guests and that it a our duty to see them respectfully reated. July 10th is campaign day in Man. ming, and we are anxious for every ection of the county to be repre ented. Senator Butler is one of the nest orators in the South, and Gov. 31man is fast gaining tbe reputation >f being one of the best in the nation. is worth miles of travel to hear hese men. Let everybody come. et us show the Reform Movement a stronger to-day than it was in 1890. et us show that we have gained two ~r every one lost, and above all l't us how that Clarendon is jealous of her ecord as a quiet county.. Senator Butler has issued a circu lar letter to the various county chair men throughout the State, in which he makes the request that his friends be given representation on the boards of managers in the coming primary. The request is a modest one and we see no objection to it, as we know that the Senator will get every vote cast for him whether any of the man agers are in sympathy with him or not. As far as Clarendon is concern ed we doubt if the Senator has enough supporters to fill the places at the various polling presincts, because we are almost sure he will get no sup port from the Reformers and we doubt exceedingly if the Conserva tives will bother to go out to the primary unless there is a greater in ducement offered them than to vote for the re-election of Senator Butler. If the Conservatives do not put out a ticket, and we hardly think they will fhom present indications it will be a difficult matter for our county chair men to find men willing to represent Senator Butler on the board of man agers. Dr. Sampson Pope wants the Re form executive committee to be called together to rescind their action in reference to holding a primary in the Reform clubs for the purpose of thin ing out our candidates to a stand. The Reform executive committee is made up of one member from each county in the State, who was elected by a convention fresh from the peo ple for the purpose of devising a plan by which the Reform faction could be kept from going into the general pri mary with candidates possibly from every county in the State. At the conference the bituation was dis cussed freely, without the slightest regard for the interests of any partic ular candidates, and that body came to the unanimous conclusion to ask the Reform clubs ta meet and elect delegates to a county convention, at the same time to instruct those dele gates as to the clubs choice for Gov ernor. The time to object it strikes us has passed, for the reason the cam paign is on and the people have an opportunity of seeing the candidates, so that they can go to their respective clubs and votes for the candidate of their choice. To call the Reform ex ecutive committee to Columbia again I would entail upon the members addi tional expense unnecessarilly, for we cannot see what good can be accom plished. If Dr. Pope or anyone else is unwilling to submit his candidacy. into the hands of the Reform conven tion when it assembles, he is not compelled to, and he can continue his fight right on in the general pri mary. Just so, with the others; but those that do submit their claims to the convention will be honor bound by the result. All the candidates now before the people are good and tried men, and it matters not which of them is selected, the Reform Move ment will not suffer. So don't kick at shadows. wun the announcement that he will be a candidate for that office because he has been solicited by both factions. The military of South Carolina would have in Captain Brailsford not only a gentleman well qualified for the posi tion, but one that has always been a Reformer. He was in the March Convention of 1890 which suggested Tillman for Governor. He was among the number that voted for the suggestion. Captain Brailsford has always taken an active interest in military affairs, and were he made chief of that department the military force of the State would be put in fine trim. Gen. Richbourg is a good man, a soldier and a gentleman. In the Darlington matter his soldierly qual ities were exhibited. He laid aside his political feelings when his Com mander-in-Chief called for his ser vices and buckling on his sword re ported for duty. He performed his duty as became a soldier, and the people of the State will be grateful to him. He now comes out for a po litical office appealing to no special faction. In this he takes a dignified stand, and we know that a great many feel that Gen. Richbourg should receive recognition for his manly stand when trouble arose, yet it is known that J. G. Watts, who is also a candidate, did his duty as fully, and Captain Brailsford, as soon as he re ceived orders, went to work and in a short time was ready to obey the commands of the Governor. He, with his command, remained under arms for days and until they were dismissed by tbe Chief Executive. Brailsford and Watts are both trueRe formers, while Gen. Richbourg is not. He is not only an opponent of the Reform Movement, but in 1890 he joined in with the Haskell Movement to split the white vote of the State. His name appeared upon that Inde pendent ticket as a candidate for the office he now seeks. How's This.

THE GREENVILLE NEWS, Strong Anti Paper, Humorously Gives Its Observations of the Campaign Xeeting at Yorkville. Whoever is managing Senator 3utler's campaign made an awful )reak at the beginning with that free >ass crowd at Rock Hill. The ictitious show of strength deceived iobody. From all accounts, as lovernor Tillman said, the contract whoopers failed to whoop according ;o contract. Not a particle of good was done. They tell in Yorkville that iome of the excursionists who under tood that their hotel bills were to be )aid were much angerediy the scanty .ations provided and went home rowing vengeance and votes against he senator. He should do as did rurner, third base of the Greenville ball team,who is reported to have lain his hodoo by burying nine hairs rom a dead woman's head, two leg bones of a black cat, a strip of bacon skin, some grave yard earth and three drops of chicken blood behind the irst bag in the dark of the moon. Since then he has played errorless games, won applause of the grand stand and made several base hits. The senator is obviously afflicted with a hoodoo and it has started him out with a club over his head which Tilman is smart eaough to use. The above recipe is not guaranteed to be exactly correct, but it is tendered free of charge and may work. We have paid our money to see a fight and we don't want to behold any solo political pugilism. Unless there is some kind of change and some thing done to work off the effects of the break men will be afraid to cheer for Butler at any future meeting lest they be suspected of being part ol the "Coxey army" which invaded Rock Hill. * * * The scheme made the senator's friends sick and his foes mad and probably explains much of the tem per and enthusiasm manifested by the governor's fr-ends at Yorkville. * * * We are becoming more and more inclined to bestow our fatal affections and embraces upon the senator be cause he is so obviously getting the worst of the battle. The Greenville News has a gift for the development of the domestic virtues and for the bestowal of the delights of private life and home sweet home. Undei our chaperonage Gen. John Bratton, Col. . H. Earle, the Hon. John C Sheppard, the Hon. James L. Orr Col. L. W.

All of them, we believe, have found prosperity and comfort and enjoy the respect of their neighbors Col.

Placidity is very~ The Lilliputians of the contest seen: to find their chief hope in those re jeted subjects and all gave mudl time and talk to them. Yet not one of them uttered a word of criticism of the refusal to consider Our Noble Order. Of course any adverse com ment on Butler's position would have involved the same comment on Till man's. Has Our Noble 'Order nc friends ready to dare anything in its behalf ? Among all its enthusiastic devotees and yet more enthusiastic beneficiaries is there not one whc will call to account the two candidates who declined to measure to the yard. stick and who roared a duet of defi ance to the once lordly but subse quently lowly Mitchell, secretary1 Where is all the nerve, the backbone, the outspokenness, the fearlessness, the bigh courage, the sand, grit and so forth of which we used to bear so much when remote or imaginary foes or a few poor, scattered and run over antis were the objects of attack? Has it all oozed out? Is there no David with a slang and some rocks to tackle the defiant giant who has made sport of the chosen people? Can it be that the host of Isreal isn't real? Where is "Jap" Talbert, the mighty one Where, oh where, are Latimer the tremendous and Strait the stupend ous? Is there no brother t o b ell this bellowinqg at? If none of us have sufficient confidence in Our Noble Order tc risk it in a race for the senate on its demands, is there not one among us to raise his voice and some Halifax against those who repudiate those demands? Do we have to import Ben Terrill from Texas whenever we wish to call Our Noble Leader te taw? Must we import courage inte South Carolina? Do all the brethren who have been beating the air se valiently and assidiously and acidu lously flicker and flunk and flee away when they strike something solid t What has become of the measures, not men, we have been hearing of in this emergency when the men meas ure not to the measures?' And, speaking of measures, is it a bushel or a half gill under which the beacon lights which should be blazing high are now eclipsed ? Why is the "Aiken game cock," the Hon. J. Gary Evans, who is so enthusiastic an ad vocate of Our Noble Order, picking imaginary corn and gazing in an other direction with a far away ex pression in his eyes while the Edge field~ blinker is crowing aloud his readiness to tackle the Alliance or any of its exponents ? During the meeting somebody told Governor Tillman, "I heard you were to be run off the stand to-day." "I have been hearing that for two months," was the contemptuous re * * * Like Col. R. B. Ligod, Dr. Samp son Pope objects to the Greenville News system of spelling the word "refawm." He alluded to it in his speech. He spoke all over the stand and all over the course but was kind snough to say that this newspaper was the only one in the State of the mti persuasion possessing sufficient rotism to saond by the naminis tration and help it in refunding the 1 debt. 1 The Dr. and the News have tender e spots for each other: Each of us re gards the other as honest, but about t from half to seven-eighths lunatic; t each of us objects to the other chiefly c on the score of the bad political com- E pany he keeps; both of us are lan- E guishing outside the breastworks and ( neither of us cares a continental red t cent. On that basis we are entirely I and sweetly harmonious. * *1 Men are big and little by compari- t son. Here is our Senator Harrison, who, by the way, prudently covers his line of retreat and provides a soft place to drop in by holding on to his I seat in the senate while advancing on the secretary of state's office. He is the "bull of the woods," as they s-ty up in the mountains, in county cam Daigns; but when he strikes a State canvassing party he sings small by I force of circumstances and holds much the same position as the candi date for coroner who, when all the speaking is over, stands bashfully up stammers the announcement of his name and the office he asks at the backs of his retiiing fellow citizens. And out in the crowd people ask, I "Who is that fellow ?" "Whar's he from ?" and "What is he trying to g~it?" ** It is a beautiful refawm theory that all candidates for State office must canvass the State. But as a matter of cold fact, by the time the candi dates for senator have talked an hour apiece the candidates for governor half an hour apiece and the candi dates for congress twenty minutes 1 apiece, the constituency has been on its feet nearly five hours and is not in humor to listen to anybody else. Consequently the minor candidates can only allow themselves to be looked at and most of them had bet ter stay at home than do that. ** Except Dr. Timmerman, who wants to be lieutenant governor. The un happy truth is the doctor is homely. He has on him a nose which looks as if it was made for a club of four or five and all sent to his address by mistake, and his general appearence is grotesque, although he is a good, solid citizen with unfailing good humor and fidelity. The mass meet ing crowd is not remarkable for po liteness, anyhow and when the doctor suddenly presented himself before the populace. at York there was a roar of laughter. Nothing quite like him had ever appeared there before. He appreciated the situation and joined in the merriment his physiognomy caused so heartily that it was some timebefore he could talk at all. Then he announced that he was running on his face and shape and candidates, voters and all joined in erjoyment of the fun, so that the candidate for lieutenant governor scored quite a hit. There used to be a man in Virginia who said he preferred the distinction ugliness to the obscurity of medioc and the book of revelations to be opened. Along about that time tjie Greenville News will probably be represented in the procession. It is a mighty comfortable thing to have no friends and to be entirely in different regarding results. Then you cannot be angered or grievcd, no matter what happens. To us people sitting on the fence all this campaign is a big, free circus. It is our part to see and enjoy the fun of it, and whatever there may be of the dra matic in it. They suffer much who dread or yearn, Who anguish know, or ecstacy; The man who does not care a dern, The happy man is he. ~"There was a jolly miller Who lived on the river Dee, He laughed and sang from morn to night, No lark was blithe as he; And this the burden of his song Forever used to be 'I care for nobody, no not I, And nobody cares for me.'

There has been a sinister effort on the part of the Anti-Reform press to create the impression on the public that there was a bonanza to the pub lic printer in the printing of the re port of Commissioner Breazeale in the reports and resolutions. The real facts are that the printer had no option but to print this report of Mr. Breazeale in the reports and resolu tions and the Comptroller General had no choice but to issue his war rant in accord with the terms of the contract to the public printer for the work done. The effort of the opposition press was to make it appear that the tax payers were required in this matter to contribute cleverly to the support of the Register, whose proprietor happens to be the public printer of the State. In 1881-82 the laws of the State were codified and the public printing for that year amounted to $40,800, and again in 1898 the same work had to be done, and so far the public prioting amounts to $24.824.05, a difference of $17,975.97 in favor of 1895 in the printing. There is yet some of the code printing not complete arnd will reduce these figures some. The session of the legislature for 1881-82 cost $85,494.50 and that for 1893 $57,681.68, a difference of $27, 812.82 in favor of 1893. Here is a difference of $43,851.79 in the cost of the code of 1881-82 and 1893 in favor of the method adopted by the legislature of 1893, who evidently were trying to save the people money. Now as to the reasons which actu ated the general assembly of South. Carolina, the public printer nor the , Comptroller General can have any thing to do but to comply with the a mandates of this body. This we be- t eve they have done, and in so doing, ave best conserved the public inter st of South Carolina. This is now clearly exemplified by be fait that the government of the be United States holds something ver $100,000 of the bonds of the tate and it appears that the United tates owes tLe citizens of South arolina $550,000 for services, ma Irial, etc., during the wars of 1776 812, and may be that with Mexico. A representative of South Carolina ivestigated this matter and r.ports Le facts, etc., which possibly can ever be found, because not printed 2 reports and resolutions. If the report of Mr. Black had been rinted in the reports and resolutions ncl thus preserved in pernianent )rm, doubtless much irouble, time nd labor would have been saved ome one, and possibly saved the cit ens of the State $550,000, which ap ears to be due by the United States. 'he report of Mr. Black to the gen ral assembly of South Carolina giv og the names and amounts may be und, but is now doubtful. Possi ily the general assembly in 1856 or 860 thought it too expensive to have his important matter printed in re orts and resolutions. We write vithout dates before us and from uernory. The report of Commissioner 3reazeale may pl: y as an important art in the history of South Carolina ne hundred years hence, as this 550,000 claim against the United tates may yet assume. - Cotton 'hant.
