THE MANNIG TMES. t Mannin0IX I-, LOUIS APPELT, Editor. Wednesday, August 22, 1S94. The State constables are making liquor siezures in Charleston and oth er places, General H. L. Farley has conclu not to run for Congress and has with drawn from the race with a wry face. The speculators are again making an effort to bleed our farmers out of their hard work by running up the price of jute bagging, and unless the Alliance comes along to protect our cotton growers there is no telling what the price of bagging will be be fore the crop is harvested. L. D. Bass, formerly a preacher in Manning is now a candidate for the Senate on the wont-pledge-myself ticket in Florence county. His po litical prospects might be good in Florence, but in Clarendon where he lived and preached, we do not believe -he could be elected dog-pelter if there was such an officer to be voted for. Dr. Sampson Popesis determined to dash his hopes against the politi cal wall by running against the nom inee of the Reicrm convention. He is banking upon the Conservatives to help him, but he will not be able to get enough of them in any county in the State to carry a single precinct, and when the primary election is over, poor Pope may find consolation in humming to himself: Once I was happy, but now I'm for lorn Like and old coat that is tattered and torn; Left in this wide world, to fret and to moan; Betrayed by my own foolish dream. The State Supreme Court will be called together about the latter part of this month in special session fol the purpose of deciding whether the dispensary act of 1893 is constitu tional. The State for some time was anxious to have this question defi nitely settled by the court and then, if decided to be constitutional a strici enforcement of the law will follow. Judge Aldrich in a recent decision al Aiken decided against the constitu tionality of the law upon the ground e urpreme court had already deided the act of 1892 and that the act of 1893 is about the same. He stated that he had not made a perso nal study of the acts, and based his decision upon the one made by the higher court. Now, that the matter will be heard before a full bench is a source of gratification to all peace loving citi zens and we hope, the court will not take long in relieving the people of suspense. There is no gain sayrng it, that the former decision left every one in a muddled condition of mind and instead of putting the matter at rest as it should have done, the de cision had the effect of creating all sorts of devices for carrying on the sale of liquor. Barrooms sprung up in every town and the town councils were powerless to 'do anything for the reason, the decision made their authority exceedingly doubtfuL. In -spite of the cry of the prohibitionists that the decision meant prohibition, the doors of the barrooms were kept wide open day and night and liquor sold over the counters as publicly as when the license system was in ex istence and the prohibitionists made no attempt to do anything. The re sult was that the question was car ried into our politics to the extent .that men opposing the administration would oppose the dispensary law and those favoring the administration would advocate it; often in discussing the affair harsh language. would be resorted td, and a friendship possi bly that had lasted from early youth would be smashed into atoms while the barkeeper went right on unmo lested and sold the stuff which was causing so much irritation. We hope therefore that the dispen sary act will be heard fairly and squarely upon its merits and that vexed question will soon meet with a settlement that will be finaL If the court says it is unconstitutional, then close up the dispensaries forever, but if the law is held to be constitutional enforce it strictly and show the peo that itis alaw made for the benefit of the people. If it can not be shown *to be such a law then the Legislature should tear it into pieces and not leave a particle of it left upon the statute books. State Convention. The State Reform Convention is now a thing of the past, and those that attended instead of having a Kilkenny cat fight, as the opposition predicted, really had a regular love feast. John Gary Evans was nomi nated after the first ballot was an nounced and his nomination was made unanimous. Captain D. J. Bradham in behalf of Clarendon, was the first to propose making the nomi natioa unanimous, and as he uttered the words a shout went up from the convention which almost made the roof shake. The vote showed Evans 262, Ellerbe 44, and Tindal 14, Chesterfield placed Mr. Tindal in nomination and a hearty second came from Clarendon. Then a committee was appointed to notify the success ful candidate and to escort him and his opponents before the convention. Captain |Bradham was on this committee and he had the hon or of escorting the next gov ernor of South Carolina into the convention. When the procession, headed by Captain Bradham, and soon-to-be-governor Evans, walked up the aisle, a deafening applause greeted them, and when the conven tion discovered Captain Bradham's empty sleeve the applause was re newed. We were told that when the committee called upon the nominee he caught hold of Captain Bradham's arm and begged the privilege of go ing into the conventi~on with one of his father's old soldiers. As soon as quiet was restored the n~ominee d ivered a speech which made friends d those who had recently fought him. lis remarks were dignified and to he point, and when he finisied there vas more applause. W. H. Ellerbe was next called for md as he rose from his seat the con rention gave him a hearty welcome md the short speech he made was mne, that impressed every member of ;he convention. He said he was airly beaten, and that he would if he necessity arose, stump the State in behalf of the nominee. Mr. Tindal was also called for, but he was prevented from being present on account of sickness in his family. In looking over the field we came to the conclusion that J. G. Evans was the choice of the people; that Ellerbe is a coming man; and that Tindal is stronger now than he was before the compaign. There was no disposition to sulk from any quarter, and the 'delegates went home feeling that what little dissatisfaction might have existed be fore the convention met, does not ex ist now and on the 28th inst. the Re formers will turn out en masse and give the nominee a full vote.

EDITrR MANxING TDos:-In a re cent issue of your paper, I saw where something was said in reference to the apparent want of political ambi tion on the part of our people, and the apparent indifference of Reform ers in regard to the filling of the county offices, few, at that time, hav ing announced their candidacy for official preferment. Since the publi cation of these remarks and before the books were closed against entries, several good names had been listed for the race for Legislative honors. Among the number we mention Wade Kennedy, of Salem, W. C. Da vis, of Manning, and C. M. Davis of Davis Station. These men are all true-blue Reformers and rock-ribbed Tillmanites. We know where they stand. We know that they stand firm for reform measures and for B. R Tillman for the U. S. Senate. We know these things because they have not left us in doubt to do any guebs ing; having talked out in meeting in plain, unmistakable, and uncom promising english. These men, if sent to Columbia, can be re lied upon to do the right thing in the interest of the people every time. And if defeated in a fair election, they can still be relied upon to stand where they stood before-they will not sulk1 and find fault and claim that reform has gone to the eternal bow wows 'simply because their opponents got the votes. They are built on correct Reform lines and their foundation is principle, not office. There is another candidate in the field for Legislative honors whom I have r'eserved for special mention Mr. Ellison Capers Jr., formerly of Columbia and recently of Clarendon. Mr. Capers claims to be a Reformer too; but a Reformer who is opposed to B. R. Tillmnan, to the dispensary and to other important reform meas tires. Well, we are glad Mr. Ellison Capers Jr. has not left us in doubt as to where he stands; and standing wherehe does we conclude that Mr. Capers is mighty fine material to keep at home. He is too tender a bud of reform to be sent out from the nursery, we must keep him in the hot house and with due care and cultivation this tender reform plant may yet bloom into a full flower, but as yet, he is too very tender a bud. Yes, Mr. Ellison Capers, Jr., must re main at home and grow and toughen into a rock-ribbed Reformer like those mentioned above. But to be able to preserve our treasure from the blighting influence of the Anti winds, we must be on the alert. We must not be so sanguine as to be indifferent about voting at the polls on the 28th inst. and thua allow the unexpected to happen, for the unexpected could happen as fol lows: Mr. Ellison Capers Jr. claims to be a Reformer, and so it appears that all of the candidates for the general assembly are Reformers. Under this impression a great many Reformers might argue thus: Well, there are none but good Reformers in the field, and they are all good men, I have no personal preference, I would as leave have one as another, there is no opposition, I have work to do at home, I will not trouble my self to go to the polls to vote. Very well, now here is what might be the result of such reasoning and con clusions: The Antis all turn out and vote solidly for our tender bud of reform, Mr. Ellison Capers Jr., and elect him. Well, what of that? You ask, is he not a Reformer? 0, yes, so he claims, but a Reformer opposed to B. R. Tillman and Reform, and ao his election would mean a vote for M. C. Butler. Ah! now you see the point clearly and begin to smell something slightly fishy. Now gen tlemen, a Reformer who is opposed to the head, the center, the essence and the very originator of the Reform movement in the State of South Car olina is too pure, too innocent, too tender and too fragrant a bud of re form for me, and I think for you and for every other true-blue, rock ribbed Reform Tillmanite in the County of Clarendon. Now what must be done to keep our tender bud of reform at home and preserve him from the biting, blasting influence of the Anti winds until he can bloom into a full Reform flower? Why, simply turn out and vote. That is simple, that is our du ty and of course we will do it. August 28th inst. is the date. Be at the polls. Vote and remember our tender bud of reform, Mr. Ellison Capera Jr., the Reformer who is opposed to Reform. X. R. August 20th, 1894.

JoRD , August 20.-August 19th closed one of the best meetings we ever had at Bethlehem church. It began the preceding Sabbath, con ducted by our pastor, Rev. R. A. Few. Two days later Rev. E. H. Beckham came to his help, and by his earnest, faithful preaching twice a day, so stirred the hearts of the peo ple that eternity only can tell the ;ood accomplished. We had in at tendance, we are glad to say, Chris tian men an women from Jordan, [Union, Summerton, Oak Grove, Man ning and St. Pauls, who heartily co operated with us in the good work. The visable results of the meeting was a revival of many of the mem bers, the erection of five now family altars, ten applications for member sbip, and many bright conversions, we think about twenty. The church was crowded to overflow day and ight. Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Cannon, of Da is Station lost their youngest child, aged about eighteen months, on the 9th inst. It was buried at Bethle em church on the following day at 1 o'clock. We woild say ..to the oved ones left behind, do not mourn for she is waiting and watching for ou on the other shore. The weather continues wet. Cot on, I think, is cut off about one fourth or third, and I believe corn is hortened some by so much rain.
