THE MANNING TIMES. LOUIS APPELT, Editor. Wednesday, April 10, 1S95. A Landlord Boom. We can now breath easy, since the United States supreme court has de clared the income tax unconstitution al. Those of us who have money to invest certainly should be thankful for having in the highest legal trib unal, men who will protect our wealth, and save us from being taxed like poor men who must toil, sweat and pay tribute to rua this govern ment of ours, while we live on in ease and luxury and not become con taminated by mingling with poor people at a tax collectors office. This is a glorious country, why shall we seek other climes? We have here the privilege of amassing great wealth, it matters not how, and as soon as we reach the notch where we need no longer work to support our families the government exempts us from taxation unless we foolishly place our investments in such things as land or manufacturing industries or some other enterprise that will give em ployment to human beings to keep the wolf of starvation from their doors. The government considers those of us that are rolling in wealth too good to be troubled with those things that will keep our fellow-man from pauperism;it therefore offers us a premium to invest in stocks, bonds, and various sureities and as a special inducement it allows us to make these investments without taxations. The government does not want to break into our Ipile which is growing larger every day when it can get all it wants from those poor wretches that are forced to follow a mule every day from sun to sun, or who must go down into the bowels of the eaith, or hammer away from morning until night in a shop to 'get bread. We think the supreme court should be presented with a handsome testimo nial of our esteem for their recent decision which will save us from pay ing taxes on what we have and at the same time gives us more protection than those get who pay taxes. The People are the Judges. Never before in the history of State politics has the desire for peace been as great as it is to-day, and never before has it been as difficult to adjust our differences. The peo ple are tired of dissension and are willing to get together upon an hon orable basis, but some politicians and newspapers are not willing unless they can arrange the terms. There is only one way out of the difficulty and that is for the people to make the best terms they please and let the politicians and newspa pers fall into line or get out of the way. The matter of electing ~'e sentatives to the constitn? ' con vention' is entirelyin1e hands of the people ndthey will say what kind --ofdvision they will have or wheth er they will have any division. Leading men may meet and arrange their plans, but they can do nothing without the sanction of the voters, then let us stop this war of words about the division of delegates to the constitutional convention and go to work to get level-headed men to make the new constitution for us. The more we talk abou't a division of delegates, the tighter do we draw the factional lines. If we are to have a constitutional convention made up of men without regard to factional lines the only way to get it is for usto lay aside factional feeling and elect men for their qualifications. We can never get a non-factional convention by one faction making demands upon another faction, especially when the demiandingiaction is in a woeful minority. The white men of this State should stop this foolish quar reling, we can not afford to fight among ourselves in the face of the enemy who are already marshalled and ready to march into any breach we may make. If the shibboleth is "white supremacy," all of us can take up the cry and go on to victory. A con stitution made by the white men of this State will be made for the best interests of all and it matters not which faction gets the control of the work. South Carolina has recently been visited by a number of mill men from the East who are looking out for suitable locations for mill-sites. THE CLARK-JONES AFAIR.

Papa, who is this man in the front of this picture dressed so finely with only one eye? That, my son, is United States Sen ator Tillman, the great leader of the Reform party. But, Papa, I heard you say he was a-very plain man and you "wouldn't give five dollars for all the clothes he had on" when you came back from the campaign meeting. The clothes he has on now looks real fine. Yes, my son, but these are not the clothes he wears when going around over the State, because most of the people like a plain man and United btates Senator Tillman did not wish to offend them. He is a very consid erate man, is Tillman. So that is "old Ben Tillman" that you used to talk so much about. Why, papa, he don't look like a farmer. He is, though, and you must not calf him "old Ben Tillman." He would not like that any more. Why, papa, is he any better now than he was three or four years ago? I don't know that he is; but he has a much higher office and one that he holds for six.years. He is beyond the necessity of depending upon the votes of the people every year or two. Do all men when they get a bigger office get bigger themselves? No, they don't; but a very large number of men who meet with polit ieal successes are attacked by a sort of hallucination that their successes are due entirely to their transcen dent abilities, when, in fact, in a ma jority of cases it is only accidental or the result of a great political up heaval. Papa, who are these three men who are slapping United States Senator Tillman on the back and seem to be laughing heartily as if he had said or done something very funny? These, son, are three very noted men. The dandy-looking young man on the left is Governor Evans. The one*next him who has his hand upon the Governor's shoulders is a Mr. Barnwell, of Charleston, and that tallish man on the right who has hold of both of Senator Tillman's hands is the notorious Cal. Hemp hill. Who is Cal. Hemphill, papa, and for what is he so notorious? Son, it would be a.very long story weie I to recite the many things he has clone and said that made him no torious. Well, what is Cal. Hemphill, papa, and what does he do? He is the editor of a newspaper printed in Charleston and is under the strange delusion that he is a great writer. He was elected to fill the place made vacant by the mur der of the former editor, a Mr. Daw son, and while he has been successful in imitating the worst traits in the character of the late lamented, he does not seem possessed of the judg ment or good sense which character ized Mr. Dawson. He has, however, succeeded better in grievously in juring his own State and people than Mr. Dawson ever dared attempt. Mr. Dawson never lost his reason; Mr. Hemphill has. But we should not be too severe on Mr. Hemphill in his attempt to carry out the time honored policy rule and creed of his paper, which is, "pr'nc'a - be damned; we ar we are for rev enue .j~ So Mr. Hemphill there' was money for his p a ~r in opposition to Reform. The appropriation has evidently been ex hausted hence his great apparent friendship for Senator Tillman and Governor Evans. Papa, how did Mr. Hemphill injure the State ? My son, it would take too long to go into details, but briefly, he used the wide circulation of his paper to spread.the most villianous falsehoods about Senator Tillman, the Reform leader, and every man and woman in the Reform party. He used every means in his power to injure the credit of our people and prevent the refunding of the State debt. In short, there *as no means too mean or false to which he did not resort to draw ridicule upon us and defeat all the great and needed Reforms at tempted. Well, papa, what did this Mr. Barnwell do ? Mr. Barnwell did all in his power to destroy the Reform movement and keep our people in a bondage worse than slavery to the old worn o t ruling classes. His speeches were the bitterest tirades against Tillman and the Reform leaders. Tillman himself feared at one time that he would be assassinated. Such was the bitterness of feeling aroused by such men as Messrs Hemphill and Barnwell. Why did Mr. Tillman or his friends fear assassination ? Well, son, there had been as the re sult of such an intolerant course adopted by such' men as Hemphill and Barnwell threats made against Tillman. Of course these men made no threats, and doubtless both of them would have worn deep mourn ing had Tillman been assassinated; however, Mr. Barnwell on one occa sion while making an incendiary speech said among other things, "go home and tell these misguided people that Ben Tillman shall never be Governor." Who were the misguided people that Mr. Barnwell meant ? Why, son, nearly five-sixths of the white people of South Carolina who were supporting Tillman. Did these speeches and the pieces in Mr. Hemphill's paper lead to any trouble ? No, not to any serious trouble, but had it not been for the coolness and great forbearance of the Reform leaders, blood would have flown free ly on several occasions. This alone prevented bloodshed all over the State and defeated the objects of the Conservatives led by such men as Hemphill and Barnwell and their lieutenants in every county in the State. Pa pa, what do you mean when you say Conservatives ? My son, that is a term used since 1890 to designate a man or men gone mad who will listen to no reason at all and who tried their utmost to de stroy South Carolina socially, finan ially, and otherwise rather than sub mit to the rule of a great majority. I think, papa, that was a funny and a strange name to give them. Well, yes, but they selected that name themselves, and as a rose by any other name loses none of its odor we called these mad fanatics by the name they selected. Well, papa, why are these men, Hemphill and Barnwell, so very friendly with Senator Tillman and Governor Evans after all the harm they did to them and the Reformers ? My son, it is very easy to ask ques tions, but it is quite another thing to answer them correctly. There are a great many Reformers who would like a correct solution of this meet ing, the incongruity of which causes much surprise and a wish to know "where we are at." It looks funny, papa, that these four should be all of a sudden so friendly. funny, but it is very funny. To say the least of it, strange and funny things often happen among profes sional politicians, of which you will learn more as you grow older. But, papa, why have Senator Till man and Govenor Evans met these men in Charleston where you have told me they were hooted at, jeered ard cursed at the instigation of these very men ? I don't know all that passed between the "Big Four,' but from what I can learn, they have made what is called a deal, that is, they have promised each other certain things, the par ticulars of which are kept from the public until the bargain is made. What does Messrs. Hemphill, Barn well and Company want Senator Till man and Governor Evans to give them ? Messrs. Hemphill, Barnwell and Company, with a generosity and modesty characteristic of them, only demand for the one-sixth of the peo ple whom they represent just half of the delegation to the constitutional convention with the privilege of us ing the negro probably to secure the other half. Will Senator Tillman and Governor Evans agree to give them so much: Yes. What have Messrs. Hemphill, Barn well, and Company to offer in return? Nothing. Well, papa, I don't quite under stand it. No, nor I. But will the five-sixths of the peo ple submit to such a trade? I think not. Did the Reformers tell Senator Till man and Governor Evans to make such a trade? They did not; but son, you -must know that that is a failing with most men who reach the pinnacle of pow er, to grow proud and think the peo ple belong to them and are only so many ciphers in the sum total. There are many noted instances of this in the history of our own times. You will not have to go far back to find them, but this is only an evidence of decay that is very closely followed by a fall. Papa, here is a crowd of men away back in this picture. I don't know any of them; who are they? They are a lot of Reformers who used to be leaders. Some of them are good, true, honest-hearted men, who by trickery, deceit, and double-deal ing have been forced back to the rear, while some of them deserved to be retired. Who is this large, fine-looking man with the broad hat and smooth, red face? That, son, is United States Senator Irby, whom we Reformers sent to the Senate a few years ago. Well, papa, I never heard anything about him: what does he do? He draws his breath and his salary, and does both as regularly as any man in the Senate. no matter what his enemies may say about him. Does he have to be there always to draw his salary? Not at all, son; they will send it after him wherever he directs and thus save him the necessity of being in Washington only when he pleases. Then I would like to be a great politician, papa. My son, I would prefer to see you a corpse right now than to know that you would ever be a politician. In that profession honest men are the rare exceptions, for as a rule they are men who have attained to emminence by trickery, deceit, falsehood, nay, even perjury, and are heartless in proportion to their success. But, papa, there are some honest politicians, ain't there ? Yes, my son, there are some honest politicians, but they have a very te diously hard time forging to the front, but when they do get to the front they are never troubled with the disease known as the swelled head, and the people have reason to rejoice. What is the swelled head, papa ? My son, it is a peculiar form of dis ease which attacks brainless men, who, by accident or otherwise, find themselves elected to some office. They carry their heads among the clouds and are not of this earth. They have an hallucination or an ab surd belief that they are great men; in other words, imagination fills the vast vacancy where the brain is missing. Have we any men in office in South Carolina troubled with this strange disease ? Yes, there are several whom I know to be suffering from this strange but common malady. Who are they, papa:? Go to bed, my son, for I am very tired and fain would sleep away these very unpleasant reflections. SILAS JONES.

SEEKING HOMES IN THE SOUTH. Ininois Colonists in Search or a sito for a Co-operative Town. CHATraNOOGA. Tenn., April .-A party of gentlemen who represent an organized colony of Illinois farmers and mechanics, are on their way to Chattanooga and the south delegated by their companions at home to locate a suitable site for a co-operative town in some good locality near some thriv ing city and with good railroad facili ties. They represent 100 families, the heads of which are skilled mechanics, most of them old emnployes of the Pull man company, and farmers who are anxious to locate in the south. They want to secure a site wshere each fam ily can secure about forty acres each, which it is intended to improve and cultivate for homes, while a number of small industrial concerns will be ope rated by the men skilled in the various trades.

U BY r.Ev. WM. W. MOOD. Among the many soldiers, both white and black of Potter's army,who were in my room the night of the April, 1865, as I lay there with considerable fever, was a no - table black Sergear.t. This officer in uni form, with a fearfully large sabre dangling at his side, was very black. Never was an officer or private more intent on busi ness than was this black man. There was no ceremony, no knock at the door. He be haved as one in authority at this unuiual hour of night, (morning, for it was about 3 o'clock of the, 0th April). He was in haste. From his rapid breathing one would have supposed he had run for sev eral miles to reach my bed side. As he stood very near my bed side he breathed heavily; he panted, ind in his excited condition I understood him to say that he had been sent by General Potter "for de pistol which is at de head of yuner bed.' "Come; he say, be quick." I was then in that condition of mind and body as not to be interested in any thing; being sick and having had no nour ishment for some aifteen hours, I heard all he said wieb the most perfect indifference. I quietly looked at the black creature pant iig for breath. I asked: "What is it?" "Why de pistol under yuner head-de Gen eral Lab sent me fer 'm." "General Potter never spoke to you in this life, and I uoubt if he ever does in tbe world to coine. I have no pistol, and General Potter has not sent you. I wish you'd go out or my room and let mc be quiet." "But you hab do. It's under N une: head. I's come fer uin. I has da autority ." Shaking his iron sword ncabbard with his left hand. "I never owned a pistol. I have no use for a pistol; it I had one I'd nut know how to luad it; please let me be quietand go away." "Well, (Le Gcn'i hub sent Lie fer um. It's under 3uncr inea:, and if 3 ou don't gee it to me, i1 burn y.n r house up ober yer bed." --Wat! be4in up Lhis house for a pistol?" -eS, sur. l's nLot 0wino away widout um. 1)t aul I hab to say abont it." -'Well, go anead, burn away-" "Den take dat cliii out or de bed, for Ise gwine to set fire to de uad." "Go ahead; we can't move the babe; nrin in our tire; go to work; we'll anl burned up together." "You is - tooi. Ain't you ovine to git up? is you gve to be burn up?" "Yes; I have beeln up enough to-night. Just go ahead, and get trouIgn. We want quiet; we have had no.ie during the ivelong night." I pre suwe he saw that I did not intend to obey him, and he changed his manner instantly; breLatned more quietly, and said: "Dere is a pistol under yaner Lead, and if you'll gee it to nme I'il go away." "Why, there is no pistoi here, and I'll piove this to you," raising myself on my right elbow. To my surprise, there was my Piench seingue in its mohogany case. Fortunately it was not locked. On seeing it his eyes dilated; then 1. showea his irony, and left, saying: -Dat ain't de kind of pistol I is hunting fur," a:d I listened (amused at his disap pointment) to the rattuling of his sword down the back steps. Our hired servant girl had told me that she was from Walterboro, and that she had beard that her father had gone with Sher man's army. During t,-e night she came to my bed side cr3 iug bitterly, followed by sev eral negro soldiers. She said: 'Da tell me if I go wid um I'll see my pappy. Will I see him M.as William?" At this, one of these creatures flew at her in rage, as if he was going to tear her to pieces. "You! - you call him master?" "You's as free as h is; he ain't you master." "Well, I'se not gwine a fut; must I go . Mass William?" I replied: "I can't aidvive you. You said your father had gone with Sherman. I don't suppose you'il see hit, for these peo ple wiil be scatterod to the four winds of heaven." Tuis greatly enraged him, and pointing towards my bed side, he let his ponierous uinsket fall upon the l1or. It startled us all, and pushing his list into my lace, said: -'deatterea! r'eattereu! TIhis army? - you, we'll never 0.e scattered."~ said I: "There is no use for tiis profanity. I didt not meain your army, hut these peo ple who aie foilowirng you;" "a&nd, C., sup. pose this ar:uy between here and Sumter meet another army and they liglht, your brother-in-law, as you cdii th:s soldie'r, ~an't help you. Of course you can do as you pliease." -'She's got to gol; that's the whole o? it." She did go, bat not before she very cunningly~contrived to put' nto Mrs. M's. hands several articles of value, wuich hadl been given her to protect for us. x was now looking for daylight. It had been a Iou,, "nxious night; "nece the curtain being drawn aside, there were the streaks of day. How cheering they wvere to us all. T'here were personzs walking up the back steps, and in they camen, standing before my bed room do-br.

They iooked pale and sickly. They asked in a very quiet way it' we could spairv them some molasses? "Something sweet," and rattling their pant's pocket, said: "'He have the gold to pay y >ui for it." I told them there was some sorghum in the closet; It was in ai jug; they were welcome to it, to help themselves. "We don't want to take nil you have, If you could give us soine in a bottle. We can't carry a jug." I re gretted-not having a bottle handy, such tnings were scarce 'a ithi us. I felt very sor ry iur themi asking:" "Wheic e are you irvin?"

Editor The Manning Times: Nothing can so successfully touch the heart of man, impress his mind, or mislead his will, as that which points either to his passions or to his pockets. Hence we find that it takes early training in religion, morals, or patriotism, to fit and prepare him for the service of his God, society, or his country. Religion prepares him for every duty incumbent upon him. Moraley fits him for society. Patriot ism makes him aspire to t6, best in terests of his country. A man can not be religious, without being nlso moral and patiiotic. He way be moral andi' not patriotic. Also lie may be patriotic without ai inorali ty. All correct history tell u4, that man has ever evolved backwards or forwards, according to the training which he has received. More or less wisdom has been bestowed even upon some among barbarous races. Hence when the superstitious cont-mplate improvements from said iudividul superiority, they foolishly imagine that all races sprang from even a meaner origin, iorgetful that the Uat ural result would be, that all the races of men would then he equals in every respect. The training can not accomplisb impossibilities. It cannot make a wise man a fool, uor a fool a wise man. The world has pio duced individual specimens of great ness. But such samples have never been made so accommodating, as to improve upon themselves. On the contrary, their posterity ofteuer evolve backwards than forwards. What a pity it is, for those who have special gifts, to misuse them to the general hurt of mankind. If we train men to be religious, they listen pious ly to the minister. If we instruct them morally, they become polite and respectful to each other. If we edu cate them patriotically, they revere the statesman and love their State or country. When civilized euin put their feet upon principle and teach on that line, they step down from civilization to the midnight of bar barity. It is equally as criminal, to associate politically with inferior races of men. Men who do so, lay themselves liable to be suspected of being iufluenced either by money or the passions. We should not evolve from a higher to a lower race politi cally. When a man's business gives shape to his politics, he will very soon become an unworthy member of so ciety, and an enemy to patriotism and-his country. Light up the pas sions or "the love of money" in the hearts of men by selfish appeals, and I assure you, they will employ any race or means, that will further their aspirations, aims and ends. It is only by proper training, that men can be made christians, gentlemen and patriots. In conclusion, permit me to digress. Mr. Calhoun advo. cated the demanding of gold and sil ver currency at our ports of entry, that there might be specie enough for the government, the citizen, -and the banks. That was his unanswer able reply to Mr. Webster, when the latter charged him with wanting "one kind of money for the government, and another for the people." If can non balls have been made out of church bells in time of war, why not call into service gold and silver plates, watches, and other such works of art? Let us press them into service, before we set up a whine about the scarcity of the precious metals. Let us contrast the sizes o! the most precious of our coins, before we prate alike children in the midst of some fancied maze. Let us not raise the false alarm of specie-poverty, when any government can with her bonds, get just wvhat gold she wishes or needs. As uniformed individuals cannot understand abstruce fln~n cial. theories, what is the use, or where is the sense or patriotism, in misleading them? Let all of cur arguments be just, fair, impartial and accurate. Just a few words more. President Andrew Jackson favored the payment of public lands in specie, because of its commercial and constitutional demands and value, The great Jefferson was down on con tinental money for the same reason. Yes, and they, and all other great Democrats of our bright and glorious past, only assisted national banks and government notes insofar as the neces esity or emergency of their day deman ed. All of them were for constitution al gold and silver money. The Eu ropean and American capitalists, and banks have acquired their financial authority and power by reason of our late war, rather than from their finan cial ability, Men wvho en-:ourage blackmoons to say, we and other white men ought do "so and so," can scarcely foresee the result.

Grateful for is speech on the Monroe Doctrine. WAsmseOTON, April 8. -Advices from Venezuela state that Congressman Livingston, of Georgia, is a hero of the day there, and that it would not be sur prising if his statue were erected on the public square at Caracas along-side that of ex-President Monroe, as an ex ponent of the Monroe doctrine. Mr. Livingston introduced the resolution which passed Congress directing the state pepartment to intercede between Great Britain and Venezuela for a set tlement of their troubles. He also made a speech on the subject, sounding the Monroe doctrine. The speech, it seems, has struck a popular chord in Venezuela and has attracted a great deal of attention there. Jt has been translated in Spanish and is printed in full as a memorable utterance.

C., April S.-The Massa chusetts mill men arrived in Ralciow.I last night over the Seaboard .\irline in the special tain provided by that ro:td. The day was pleasantly and quietly spent, and with the exception of a two mile walk to the Lockville water power site not far from Raleigh. the p:!rty did not Leae the train. The mill men left Augusta yesterday morning by the Port Royal and Western Carolina road and at Clinton connected with the Sea board Airline, along which -.here are quite a number of prosperous cotton mills. The eastern manufacturers during the day conversed about the handsome and profitable mills that they saw in the Carolinas and Georgia. and by the time they return to Massachu setts they will be in oSe!son of a fund of very valuable informatio: re garding the industrial situation in the south.

Mr. Lovering,. president of the Ark wright club of Boston, and the Taunton mills, said that it wa; likel. that the only-use that would be made of the information that hal been obtained would be to present theta to "he Ark wright club, which was aoran ization. but that it v;as liic-:y that something would get out a:o-t te report.

Republicans May IU ate ,IDufic,;!!y in Fill. Ii the Finance Coninrttee. WASuINGT-oN. Apeil G.-In the gossip about the reorganization of the senate it is hinted that the probabilities are very great that the republicans will have difficulty in choosing a successor on the committee on finance to Senator McPherson. The filling of the place will, in all probability, be the first ccn test which will occur in the nexct con gress between the silver men and the anti-silver men, and the fight will be none the less fierce because fought un der cover. It is intimated that the lines may be drawn so sharply that re organization may be delayed or eve-n defeated by it. The silver men now have a majority of one in the ecmmittee. five or six men constituting this majority being demo crats. The silver men are also in the majority in the senate, but will be in the minority in the repucbliean caucus. Under ordinary circum-stance-s the caucus would control, and in that event, and if left free to act untrammeled, there is said to be no doubt an anti silver man would be selected for the vacancy. The silver republicans have, it is said, already given notice that the place must be filled with a man from their ranks anid say that in case of fail ure to make this concession they will oppose reorganization and leave the matter with the democrats, who would in all probability fill the vacancy with a free silver man. Republican sena tors have generally manifested a dispo sition to make the concession, but there are some who are disposed to hold out against it, so that it is niot absolutely settled that the silver men shall have their own way about it.
