THE VMUIDG TMES LOUIS APPELT, Editor. Wednesday, August 15, 1S94. Kolb of Alabama has been again beaten, and he is disgusting the coun try with his kicks. The election re -turns say that Oates has been elected governor and the cry of fraud by the Kolbites will not change the result. John Gary Evans is now enjoying his victory while we are floundering about in the soup. Clarendon is disappointed but she defies any coun ty in the State to make a better show ing for the Reform nominee in the brimary on the 28 inst. The political canvassers have fin ished their work of attending the State campaign meetings and the peo ple no doubt are glad that everything passed off without the shedding of a drop of blood. At some of the places there was excitement and it looked aif there would be trouble sure, but fortunately the worst that came was a lot of foolish words from some of the candidates themselves. The opposition are laying great stress upon the number of Reformers that did not vote last Saturday. They forget that hundreds of them had no choice, believing that either of the candidates would be satisfactory tc them. We spoke to one who failed to turn out and he said he was busy, and was satisfiedwith any of the Re formrs selected, but said he, let the opposition come out and we will show them whether or not there i any staying away from the polls.

The county campaigners came to Manning last Thursday and for sev eral hours entertained quite a large audience in the court house. All the candidates present were called upon, and as each name was announced they came forward and announced their candidacy with suitable re marks. The candidates for the sen ate came first. Dr. I. M. Woods lead off with a review of his record as a legislator, and then expressed his views upon the question' of a constitutional con vention and the dispensary. He was followed by Senator Ragin who defended the Reform adminis tration and entered into an elaborate showing of the State's finances. He showed how much money had been spent for the carrying out of the pledges of the faction, and made it clear that the State taxes would have been -greatly reduced had it not been for the disastrous storm of last Au gust in which the State suffered great losses. Then came the various candidates for the office of supervisor: Messrs. Holladay, Geddings, Felder, Turbe ville and Hudgins. These gentlemen showed considerable earnestness in wanting to serve the people and were not bashful in letting the people know that they wanted votes, and as only one of the number can be elected we are unable to foretell who the fortunate one will be. The aspirants for legislative hon ors came next. Hon. J. W. Kenne dy, who is a candidate for re-election, made a pretty defense of the Reform administration. His speech was at tentively listened at, and at its con clusion provoked applause. Captain W. C. Davis was the next speaker. As his name was called the audience broke out with applause which showed that he was in the house of his friends. He spoke at some length on the questions now agitating the minds of the people, and he handled his subject with the familiarity of a veteran. Captain Davis paid a beautiful tribute to the character and achievements of B. R. Tillman who he said he would support for the United States Senate. All the way through his remarks his audi ence was with him, and from the demcnstrations it may be safely said that he will be one of our next rep resentatives. R. H. Griffin, a candidate for the legislature, was called- foi, but he failed to resond, and after the meet ingara-were told that he was pre -vented from attending by an impor tant business engagement. He has requested us to say that if elected he will advocate a constitutional con vention, the dispensary, and all the Reform measures. He will also vote for B. R. Tillman for the United States Senate. The only Conservative candidate present was Mr. Ellison Capers, Jr. He said he was a Reformer but op posed to Ben Tillman. He had sev eral pages of manuscript in his hand, but from his disconnected remarks he could not have used any prepared speech. Mr. Capers complained of not feeling well and said something about Tillmanites not doing their own thinking and voting. That four or five men at a club would go into a room and select a set of delegates for them to vote for. Mr. J. F. Brad ham interrupted the speaker to in form him that his statement was not true as far as his club was concerned. That he was a Tillmanite and was man enough to do his -own thinking and voting, and that no one had ever presumed to think and vote for him. Mr. Bradham is a member of the Manning Farmers' Platform Club, and one of the principles of that club is to let every man vote as he sees fit, and at every club election nomina tions are made from the floor, and the election is done by written ballot. That was the reason Mr. Capers was called to ahalt in his assertion that four or five men selected delegates, etc. In the audience there was a number of voters inclined to guy Mr. Capers and in a pleasant way show that the speaker was talking through his hat. The chairman . requested that Mr. Capers be allowed to pro ceed without interruption. Mr. Ca pers saw the humorous side of his po sition, and could not refrain from laughing. We were called away be fore the meeting broke up and re gret not having all of Mr. Capers's speech, but upon inquiry we learn his position to be in favor of the Al liance demands, opposed to the dis pensary as it stands, and opposed to Tillman for the United States Senate. Mr. Capers is a bright young man, comparatively a stranger in the coun ty, but with the few acquaintances he has made he is popular.

The Greenville News has the fol lowing report of a speech made by Col. Jos. H. Earle in the recent coun tv convention held there: "CoL Jos. H. Earle was next. He reviewed his own course and the general political developements of the last fouir years. His remark that the newspapers of the State had done more harm than Tillman was loudly applauded. He mentioned The State and The News and Courier 'and some others.' Somebody back in the hall shouted 'and The Greenville News. Don't leave that out!' Col. Earle said if he was a member of the legis lature he would vote to send Tillman to the senate. (Loud and long cheers.) He believed the majority of the peo ple wanted to send Tilllman and thought him better than some who wanted to go. He urged that good and wise men be sent to the legisla ture and not demagogues and coat tail swingers. He advised the peo pe to require of local candidates dis cussion of State rather than national issues, but expressed the opinion that Cleveland has ruined the Demo cratic party. (Cheers.) His whole administrarion had been fo; the East and against the South and West. The speaker advised Democrats of all factions to stop quarreling and get together before the Republicans take the country." ReT. H. M. Mood Takes The Freeman to Task. Below we publish the reply of The Freeman to the article of Rev. H. M. good, which appeared in that paper, and also in the Herald, last Friday. We also publish Mr. Mood's rejoinder to what The Freeman had to say last week. THE FREEMANS ARTICLE. We received a communication last Monday from Rev. Henry M. Mood. I The article was written with a pencil on a piece of paper having print on one side, and bore evidence of having emanated from a newspaper office. Its appearance also indicated careful preparation-there being interlinea tions and traces of erasures. We immediately mailed him a copy of The Freeman of July 27th, contain ing our second squib in regard to Mr. Nettles. Not hearing anything further from him we published his comments as above, It is with great reluctance that we engage in controversy with a minis ter of the gospel on religious subjects, therefore, what we say will be brief. Mr. Mood errs in assuming that the Senior Editor (the Baptist) is in any way responsible for the severe thrust given Mr. Nettles. He was on his farm at Stateburg and had no knowl edge what ver of the article prior to its appearance in print. The Local Editor (the Presbyterian) is solely responsible. Nothin- was further from our in tention tlan an attack upon that great body of devout Christians-the Methodists, and Mr. Mood's attempt to make it appear that it was a case of Baptist and Presbyterian vs. Meth odist, and thereby create denomina tional antagonism, is unworthy of him and will have no weight with thinking people. We simply "spoke our natural feeling of pain at seeing the good old Methodist Church in vaded by unworthy men." No attack whatever was made by us upon Mr. Nettles from a business standpoinc and we do not under stand Mr. Mood's allusion to finan cial matters. A person may be strict ly honest and yet be utterly unfit to oecupy the exalted office of a minister. In this same connection, where he speaks of Mr. Nettles as a "Christian gentlemen," the word "Christian" was enterlined in the original copy, and was evidently an after-thought or suggestion. It some times happens that a body of people vote a recommendation where there is no special qualification and this may have been a case of that nature. A riddance desired may be. - Our criticism of Mr. Nettles was based in part upon his reputed posi tion as a prohibition-whiskey-dispen saryite. We have no confidence in the sincerity of a man who pretends to be a prohibitionist from principle and yet, whenever occasion offers, is found advocating the sale of whiskey. It was therefore a matter of surprise to us that such a prohibition-whis keyite should apply for a license to preach the gospel of the Son of God, and we spoke as we felt-without mature deliberation on the cleansing power of God. We could not under stand how a man could have the love of God in his heart and yet sanction one of the great agencies of the devil for working evil. If an expression of such sentiments places us on the side of "the world, the flesh and the dev il," in Mr. Mood's opinion, we are sorry, as we value his good opinion. -LOCAL EDITOR. MR. MOOD'S REPLY. DEAR HERALD: I am in receipt to-day of a copy of the Freeman con taining an article of mine in reply to a scurrilous editorial violently at tacking the character of Hon. S. A. Nettles and directly involving the integrity of the Metnodist church in Manning. The article was furnished for your paper with a request that you publish. As it had not appeared in the following number of the Free man, we supposed that paper had delined the article. But in the issue of Aug. 3rd, which I received to-day, Aug. 7th, I find the article with reply appended. The editorial to which we replied is a direct attack on Methodism in relation to their action in the case of Mr. S. A. Nettles, which we regard as an impertinent interference with our church action that did not con ern him. The editorial presents our members either as knaves or fools. The church has either knowingly tolerated for years. and advanced to official relations a vile man, or she was ignorant of the villain whom she fostered. Now, let me ask, who is most capable of judging the charac ter of Mr. Nettles, a Presbyterian liv in another place, in political antago nism, or the Methodists of Manning where he lives and worships't How wonderfully interested is the Local Editor in the purity of the Methodist church in Manning. Lis en to his whimperings, as with mois tened eyes, and bankerchief catching the crystal drops he sobs out: "We spoke simply our natural feelings of pain at seeing the good old Metho dist church invaded by' unworthy men." How loving! How tender! How sympathetic' Shall we cry or shall we laugh? We have witnessed such bursts of affection before. I was somewhat diverted at the minute criticism of my article by the Local Editor. He gives the instru ment used in writing, the kind of pa per, how it was printed one one side and written on the other, and that it bore evidence of having emanated from a newspaper office, with inter lineations and erasures. Well, what has all this to do with the character of Mr. Nettles, or of the church of which he has been a member from bohood? Iain glad to learn that my esteemed friend, Mr. John J. Dlargan, was not engaged in this reprehensible attack upon Mr. Nettles and the Methodist church of Manning. It is most com mendable on the part of the Local Editor, Mr. Edwin F. Miller, that he relieves Mr. Dargan of all connection with this dirty work. The Local Editor declares "that no attack whatever was made by us (him) upon Mr. Nettles from a bi ness standpoint, and we di. not un derstand Mr. Mood's allusion to finan cial matters." WVell, this is refresh in! The Local Edito:- agrees with us as to the integrity of Mr. Nettles in relation to finances. This is no insignificant admission. The most delicate test of a man's character is his monetary transactions. A man who is not trues in his money rela tions, whether aie be Presbyterian or Methodist, is a fraud on his church. Now here is Mr. Nettles's character passing through the crucial test of a violent attack by a bitterenemny, and in finances he stands approved be fore the public. But the Local Editor says: "It sometimes happens that a body of pepClel vote a recommendation where there is no special qualification andI this may have been a case of that nature. A riddance desired, may be." What does this insinuation mean? Are the Methodists of Manning such arrant hypocrites as this? This is certainly pretty bad on us as a church. Where is the consistency between this foul insinuation and the love i expressed by the Local Editor for the Methodist church? Suffer me to say< to the Local Editor, that the Metho dists of Manning are fully capable of< attending to their own church mat-< ters, andl do not need his watchful1 But the Local Editor says: "Our< criticism of Mr. Nettles was based in, part upon a personal knowledge of 1 the man." Now, if the Local Editor,4 Mr. Edwin F. Miller, has personal knowledge of Mr. Nettles's rascality, I hereby challenge him to produce it. L pastor of the Methodist church of lanning, of which he is a member, propose to call a committee of in 'estigation to hear any indictment ir indictments that he can personally ustain, and, in Methodist parlance, 'bring the accused and the accuser ace to face." But the Local Editor adds: "Our riticism is based in part upon his eputed position as a prohibition rhiskey-dispensaryite." Now, the )ublic has in one sentence the arii nus of this whole attack upon Mr. Settles ar d his venom is concentrated n a remarkable compound word nanufacured for the occasion. This s the arrow which is to pierce the ieart of the hated victim. I am glad :o be able to say that Mr. Nettles is t total abstinence man, and is above suspicion as far as his lia bits go along ,his line; that lie has never hob aobbed with saloon-keepers, or been >n the side of the liquor sellers of the State; that it is but natural that his >utspoken course on this exciting ubject should make him violent ene ruies with the whole liquor fraternity, )nd those who sympathize with them. In tlhe legislature lie brought for ward a prohibition bill, I think the first ever offered to that body. When chere was a failure to carry this, then lie took the next best position in fa vor of the dispensary which swept the grog-shops and saloons from the State and is regarded -by hundreds, irrespective of party lines, as the on ly hopeful measure to redeem South arlina from the liquor curse. The hard name by which Mr. Net tles is called by the Local Editor is the greatest compliment of his life. It places him against the grog-shops and saloons, and in juxtaposition with the dispensary, the only hope cf redemption from the thraldom of the liquor traffic. HKNRY M. MooD.
