THE XMIG TIMES. wrann-In 3Mil - LOUIS APPELT, Editor. Wednesday, April 17, 1895. Let Spain and Cuba fight, it will not hurt us nor help us. All that we must look out for is to prevent a con flict among ourselves on the public questior.s now agitating the people. It is said that George Gould pre sented his sister who recently mar ried a French :count, with a coronet that cost $40,000 and on the day of her marriage four deaths from starv ation occured near the Gould man sion. Is comment necessary? If the Government would issue enough money that business could be done for cash, it would be the means of giving the unemployed labor, and we would hear of no strikes, train robberies and other crimes that are now being chronicled every day in the newspapers. The income tax business doe's not appear to be settled yet, and it may be that we rejoiced too soon. An effort is being made for a re-hearing of the matter and if successful those of us that have our coffers filled with gold, bonds, and stocks'may*yetihave to pay tribute to the government just like the common people that plow and work at other pursuits to earn their daily bread. Col. John J. Dargan, of Sumter, has announced that he will deliver an address in the town of Camden to morrow on the negro question. He says that he has "thoughts that burn," and it really looks like the Colonel is burning . with a desire for notoriety and to have it said of him. "Then.if thou -fall'st, 0 1)argan, Thou'fall'st a blessed martyr! We see it stated.that there will be an effort to get the members of the Tillman-Barnwell cenference and the Forty committee together to arrange a settlement of the differences now existing between the two. If they can come to some satisfactory solu tion of our present difficulties, they should get togetherlati once. The people are willing to agree to an ar rangement whereby peace can be se cured provided the same can be done without any sacrifice of principle. The more we think of the coming together of the people on the consti tutional convention question, the more are we convinced that our po sition in the conference was correct. We wanted the adoption of a plat form of principles, and then elect our delegates pledged to that platform. Had this been done, the matter of which faction should control would have not been brought in at all; men would have been elected pledged to certain principles, and it would make no difference what factional afflia ticn the members of the convention claimed. As things are now, every body says have a non-factional con vention; at the same time they draw the factional lines by dictating the number each faction should elect. The people, however,{are not saying much; it is the politicians doing the talking. Whenithe people talk, their say will-be law, and the politicians will fall into line. One of the most important ques tions for the consideration of our coming constitutional convention' is the matter of public education. Ev ery man, woman, and child is deeply interested, in this subject, and the question should receive the most careful thought. The children of this State are not getting the benefit of the money exzpended for public education that they should, and the fault lies in the law. Whatis needed is a thorough renovation of the school law, so that our public schools may be run upon a systematie~ business principle. The public schools should be run at les nine months in the year, and they can be without any further taxation. -. One. of the draw backs to our school system is the number of public schools. There are too many. Nearly every neighbor hood has a public school when there is no necessity 'for it. If the schools can be so arranged that an entire township can send , there, a smaller number of teachers would be re quired, and it would result in having a better class of teachers. There are some who are opposed to the two mill school tax, and give as their reason that they are requirad to pay for the education of other people's children. We favor the two mill tax for the reason that the children should be educated, but we want the law changed so that the taxpayver can direct where".his school tax shall be applied. If we can get this change in our constitution we will then be able to have as fine a system of free schools as any State in the Union. Instead of wrangling with each oth er as to who should go to the con vention, let us think of getting men who favor doing something to give1 us the relief we need. It matters not to us who represents us in the consti tutional convention so long as we send men who are in full sympathy with the people in the matter of giv ing their children a perfect system of free schools. There is a way to build up a town and there is also a way to kill a town. The way to kill a town is to not make an effort to build it-up. The way to build up a town is to push it by advertising. If our merchants will take the trouble to loolk over our ex changes they will see that wherever the merchants advertize freely there is progress, and the places where they do not advertise. a business dearth exists. When a party looking for in vestments takes up a paper full of local advertisements he becomes im pressed with the enterprise displayed, and he puts that town down as a place to look after. Just at this time the eyes of the business 'world is upon this Stae nd we think, as a matter of business polity, our mer chants should advertise more freely. We know of no town in the State that does as little advertising as Man ning; why, we cannot see. Manning has good merchants, and they want to sell goods. The idea of advertis ing a short time during the busy sea son will not have the effect to draw an increased population. What they should do is to keep before the pub lic all the timie. Every business man will admit that a newspaper in a town is a necessity, but how can a newspaper exist when the parties to be profited will not give substantial encouragement to the enterprise. We ask our merchants to think of this matter and not take it for granted that a newspaper can live without patronage. If the people of this county were to go elsewhere to give their patronage, our merchants would have a just cause to complain, and the business interests of our town would suffer. Just so with the news paper; if our merchants will not give the necessary patronage, the paper suffers. The question is, then, do our merchants want a newspaper? If they do, they should come forward and help sustain one. White Men Lay Aside'Yrejudice. EDTo THE MANNING TIms:-Im mediately after our late "war between the States" President Andy Johnson told Ihis Yankee Republican allies that when'we failed (tly white people) to govern and rule our American country, that itrwould then be quite time enough to call on the negro for assistance. Was not it an admission on the part of Northern madmen who were at that time in power as result of the war, that our white people were incapable of self-government, by their admitting negroes to help us by partisan and worse than doubt ful constitutional amendments? Shall we of South Carolina make the same admission? No! never! The North ern men who had lowered their standard of self-respect thus, would to-day sink even lower down the scale of self-government, should it suit their purposes. Yes, for money and office, they have disgraced their names and race forever. I can ac count for such debasement on the part of the white man, only in the fact, there are species in all of the race. I take it then, that only the lower species in the white race, could be induced to do unworthy and hu miliating work. When white men (God's noblest work) utterly refuse to gcvern a country -.bequeathed to them by white men, they are humili ated indeed. Humiliated did I say? That is too mild a form in which to put it. They are eternally disgraced beyond all recovery. When they took the first step in political iniquity they prepared themselves for the sec ond and so on. But sir, they would never had taken the irst step, had it not been for want of principle in their hearts. All such white men (whether they be Northern or South ern) belong to some inferior .species of our race. It is nonsense to try to bring them back to political self-re spect, because of their deficiency in that principle, which is the founda tion of patriotism. Such characters can never be taught patriotism. They can only be forced to obey the law. That is all that can be made out of them. But such are always in any country of white men, very few indeed. The people of South Caro lina can be united, despite the trick ery of men who believe them incapa ble of self-government, and would call in Joshua E. Wilson and others of his race, to enlighten both them and our American Congress. 0 tem pora! 0 mores! Northern and Southern men who need the -wisdom of Joshua F. Wilson and others of his stamp, ought to petition Congress to colonize the whole fix, so that they may be enabled to exchange senti ments of learning and sympathies, of race. Why not? Don't tell me that such is the necessities of the times -that it is political progress. Is it progress to assert that Joshua . Wilson can do more for South Caro lina in the American Congress than the Hon. John L. McLaurin? Mr. McLaurin is a great, wise, and learned statesman--ss much so as any we have. To give his seat to any negro would be to acknowledge that the Republican party wears upon its face all the impudence and disgrace of radicals and devils combined. I tell you,- Democracy and State-rights are not quite dead .yet-they will never die ! No disturbing 'elements in politics can ever destroy them. They are based upon these two ma jorities: The majority of the whole, and the majority of the minority. Without those two majorities, there 'could be no such thing as concurring majorities. Let our majority and our minority concur upon all impor tant public matters, and all will then be well, and we will be a united peo ple. We cannot see into the future, but the lights before me point to a Democrat for our next President. Your friend and fellow-citizen, Joim L. FA5TERUNG. Fort Hill, Clarendon County, S. C., April 6, 1895. Henry Ward Beecher once informed a man who came to him complaining of gloomy and despondent feelings, that what he most needed was a good cathartic, mean ing, of course, such a medicine as Ayer's Cathartic Pills, every dose being effective. Harmony Presbytery. Met in Kingstree, on the 10th inst., and continued its sessions until the 13th. There were 9 ministers and 19 ruling Elders in attendance. The opening sermon was preached by Rev. W. F. Hollingsworth. Rev. J. E. Stephenson was elected mod erator, and ruling Elder William Brearley temporary clerk. Reports were read from the various churches.' Mr. Charles Montgomery, of this county, was licensed to preach the Gospel. Mr. Willie Mills, of Camden, was taken under the care of Pres bytery as a candidatefor the ministry Professor Curroll, from Davidson ollege, in N. C., was present, and made an address showing the pros-1 perous conditiofi of that excellent' Institution, and its religious and ed ucational advantages. Rev. N. W. Edmunds, D. D., and ruling Elder A. White were elected commissioners to the General Assembly, which will meet in Dallas Texas, next month. A overture to dispense with some of the requirements for preaching the Gospel was rejected, Presbytery being unwilling to lower its standard for engaging mn this high calling. Several Ministers of the Methodist and Baptist churches present were invited to sit as visiting members. Sumter was chosen as the place for meeting next October. ATmTonDaNT. Recollections of Potter's Raid. DY REV. WM. W. MOOD. The sun, the beautiful sun of that lonely April morning, the 9th of April, was high in the heavens before anyone from the town visited the parsonage after Potter's ne gro army marched out of the town to wards Sumter. I beard steps cautiously made up the front steps, and then Mrs. Charlotte DuBose (Aunt Charlotte) stood at my bed room door. She had came across the street from Dr. H. H. Huggin's, with whom she lived, the family kindly caring for her. She looked in very cautiously, as if there was some doubt of finding me there, and when she was assured that I was there uninjured, she began to weep and then to praise the Giver of all good at finding us all in safety. She told us that not a word had been heard of us since Mrs. M. had early in the evening visited the Doctor's, and had asked General Potter for a guard. That they had ali been in the greatest distress about us all night. That various reports had reached them; first that I had been murdered, and then that I had been carried off as' a prisoner. She ex pressed the greatest delight that the par sonage had not been burned. it having been so positively told them that it would be fired. The dear old lady had remained s) long that her hostess became uneasy and she came over to see after her. I can never forget her look of pleasure and satisfaction at finding us all in safety. I was now our turni to ask questions: "What damage have they done?' "No damage at all." We had the General and several of bs staff and they allowed us two rooms for our fainily, supposing that the General being in the house we'd fare well. But they asked for nothing; they took the house, the kitchen furniture, the table service - everything and what silver we had, and what provis ons were left they destroyed or distributed to the many who had followed the army. Everything they borrowed was never re turned. We found, however, a great quan tity of writing paper in the room occupied by the General." "And they have not in jured the town?'" "Ub, yes, the fires are yet burning. Carpenter's large hotel at the corner, tLe jail and our beautiful court house (Dr. Charles Taylor on looking at tHis building oa his return from China, said it was among the mo.t beautifully proportioned publ.c buildings he had -ver seen in all his travels), and a large qua'i ty of cotton is destroyed. That part oi th, town has presented the wildest confusion the'entire night." What a deliverance it has been to us; weknew nothing of it. It would have greatly increased our alarm, having been told so positively that our homes would be fired. The visits of these two ladies has never been forgotten. Aunt Charlotte has passed away. She was Iborn in Sumter county, S. U., in 1788, and died in Manning at Dr. tuggin's January 3, 1875. She had been an- humble, fervent Christian and a member of the Methodist church for seventy-three years. In all her feebleness, her intense love and interest in the church never abated, and to the last her faith never wavered. She never forgot to express her gratitude for the kindness of Dr. H. H. Huggins and his devoted wife and children to her. So Rev. J. B. Platt, her pastor at the tine of her depart are, writes ol her. After these ladies had returned to their homes, I said to Mrs. M.: "Let us have now our usual prayers, which have been interrupted, and you'll please read the Scriptures." Reaching the Bible she saiu: "I'll read just wiiere the Bible opens," and she read slowly the 55th Psalm. There seemed to be great emphasis in every verse she read. It was singularly approriate to ourisurroundings,as my readers will see. Oar next visitor was Brother John M. Hodge. He lived across the swamp. He was a very tender-hearted man. He wepted as he shook my hand. 'I feared to come. I have brought you the only chicken I have left, thinking you'd red it." Be made no reference whatever to his losses. I never learned how his family had been treated for several days afterwarus. They They literally stripped him. But he has long since entered into rest: " No rude alarm of raging foes; No cares to break~ the long, repose." Brother H. had left us but a short time when a buggy was announced at ti~e gate. With the announcement the startling cry of Mrs. Hachall McCanley. in -my roonm. (On her retreat before Potter from Wit liamsburg District, she had deposited some valuables (factory thread) with us for saf e keeping.) She was now returning. There was no necessity for asking her the cause of her startling cry, for she repeated with her hands thrown above her head and her bonnet thrown back: ''The Yankees have met our men; they have had a fight and we have whipped them back; they are com ing and b.arning every house on the road. They have burned out so and so." And then, with increased agitaon, pointing through the window,"They ire here and are burning the academy." (Vhis large un finished building was a short distance above our home in an opan field.) Sure enough, the flames were leaping fromi the windows; every part of the building was in flames. "Fly, Mrs. M. Fly, Mr. M., and Ill take the babe away for you." All this was startling news, It was all, however, a mistake; not that there had been a figl-.: there, but that there had been at Dingle a Mill, a few miles from the town of Sum ter, and our forces were forced back. (This fight was going on about the same time that General Lee was surrendering to Grant at Appomattox court house, Va., Sunday, the 9th April, 1865) 'lhe burning of the academy building was from the fire set by Potter's soldiers as they retired. In this time it had smould ered, bursting out at the same iroment that Mrs. Mc. was giving vent to her alarmed feelings. The lurid flames and the volume of dense black smoke gave much coloring to the terrible statements she was making. It was late in the day on Monday before I had another Visit from either of my phy sicians. Then it was that Dr. John I. in gram called. Sumter, S. C.

The Present Incumbent Nqot Far From the Race-The Spirit of Vindication a Predominant One-The Situa tion From the CapitaL. WAsm3IGTON, April 15.-Senator Hill has been spending a few days quietly in Washington studying the political situation. He was one of the roost con spicuous spectators in the supreme court room when the income tax deci sion was handed down, and the result has proven how right was his fight against the measure when it was be fore congress. The senator, however, has not been doing much bragging. Senator Hill's visit here has, like Gov ernor McKinley's last week, -started some presidential gossip, and the events of 'the week have certainly brought Senator Hill to the front. onee more. There are also indications that Grover Cleveland is not so far out of the race as many would suppose him. The al leged failure of the present administra tion have disturbed Mr. Cleveland -con siderably, and men who are authorized to speak for him say that a vindicatIon is needed and that the democratic party must again nominate-the only m'ari who has carried their party 1 to success in the last quarter of a eentary, Indica tions of a desire for. :this vindication have been so plain -to thdse -who are watching the political horizon that'it is almost accepted as a fact here in Washington that the presidintWould accept the nomination in -1896 if he oould get it. Within the last month or so the Pest dent has adopted - what - Senator Brie has denominated a policy of concentra tion. He is making up with the old leaders in the various -Stateswho 'have" hitherto been antagonistic 'to him, and it has been noticed'that senators who during the session of congress refused to call at the white house, are Row seen frequently wendingi thir -ay thitner The president seems to have the fashionable fad 'of - keeping quiet on the silver question, although his record is pretty well known, but his declination of the invitation. from the Chicago sound' money conventiop shows that he will not say much oni the subject at present. LIEUT. SMITH'S LONG. RIDE. Army Cireles Evsrywhero.Taklng W pairited Interest in His Journey. WAsnIxqoToN, April 15.-Army circles in Washington, and at any place where there is a post of regulars, will take a spirited interest in the movements- of Lieutenant Cornelius C. Smith, second cavalry, who has just started. on a long, ride on horseback. He intends to make 1,000 miles on a single horse, unacoom panied. and ivill carry neither. rations nor forage, but intends to depend sole ly upon the country through which he travels for sustenance for ,1iiself and horse. ' He started from Fort WIn'ate, New Mexico, to. cover the distance to San Antonio, Tex., within a month. The route over which he is to travel is wild and barren, anud' the outlook is so hazardous that old teamsters who have been over the trail. doubt that he' will accomplish the journey. Smith is a master of the various.. Indian- lan-~ guages, and this will be a great help to him in his perilous trip, as he wIWk be thrown among many tribes who are-znot altogether in love with soldiers.. .. EXCITEMENT AT CINCN.N&AT1.

The population of New York, according to ;these 8g ures, is 1,888,780, an increase since the census of the state board 'of healtih, taken in 1893. of just 87,041. This is considered a very conservative estimate and there is no doubt that when the aetual figures are all In it will be ma terially increased. Cuban Mails and Fever. WAsmN~GTON, April 15.-Owing to the troubles at Cuba the mails' have fallen off so that the post office department has permitted the Plant system to make one less trip per week from Savannah to Tampa by rail and by steamboat from Tampa to Cuba.

The Battle of the 10th Confirmed But no Serious Losses to Either Side-Bec retary of General Maceo is Wounded-The Outlook. WAsmltoTo,, April 16.-Official intel ligence received from Havana. confirms the news relative to the battle of the 10th, instant between the Spanish troops and Cuban insurgents at Palma rito. The United Press dispatch states that Thomas Sain. General Macco's secretary, was wounded. The official dispatch from Havana says also that he surirendered. It is also reported that oxit of the 25 men who landed with Maceo some days ago, eleven were killed and wounded, but no mention is made of the capture of Maceo. A newspaper telegram from Hava na 'reports that Maceo was captured and that in the Palmarito battle -the insurgent forces number .2,000 and the Spanish 3,000. A dispatch from Captain General Gallejo merely mentions the killing and wounding of all of Maceo's followers while nothing is said of any loss to the Spanish troops, nor that any co.siderable force was engaged. On the contrary there are strong grounds for the statement that they could not have exceeded a few hundred at the tnost.. ._. .APAN'S TERMS OF PEACE.

Barrs, city a; torney met on the sidewalk and a shooting af fray occurred. There had been bad blood between them on account of fac tional politics, criminations and re criminations having passed which led to assault three weeks ago by Marvin and brothers upon lBarrs with canes. Since then Marvins. expecting assault, have been armed. When they met by chance Marvin drew a pistol and fired point blank. Barrs jumped forward, seized the weapon and thus diverted the aim. Marvin fired two or three times without effect. All wete arrest ed. Barrs had no weapon and says he made no belligerent demonstrations. On the other* hand Marvin says Barrs approaches him and said: "-- you, I've got you now. Then, according to Marvin, the shoot Ing followed. The men are antago nistic in city polities and the trouble is attributable to that fact. Barrs repre sents the reformers and Marvin those opposed to reform. Only a few days ago Barrs was assaulted by the 'Mar vins because of his opposition to their methods and it is supposed that this as sault grew out of that. Florida's pernicious election law is responsible for the trouble. JAMES W. SCOTT IS DEAD. Chicago's Great Daily Newspaper Pub lisher Passes Away Suddenly. NEW YoRK. Aprill 16.--Mr. James W.

WAsnisGTON, April 11.--The silver democrats are pleased -with the move ment for an carly convention in Illi nois and predict that they will have two-thirds of the national convention, including Virginia. the Carolinas. Geor gia, etc. One feature of the situation just developed is the- tendency of the silvr men toward Stevenson and the preference of administration democrats for Morrison, if the fight is to be con fined to the two. All the signs point to irreconcilable differences between the factions and the dependence of the majority, if a rupture is made necessa rp, is upon the silver republicans of the west.
