THE MAMIG TIMES. LOUIS APPELT, Editor. Wednesday, May 1, 1S95. Dargan Advocates a Black Draught! There are some people who be lieve Colonel J. J. Dargan is doing what he honestly thinks is right, but that he is mentally off his base. We were among those who believed that way, but from his recent utterances we are forced to believe there is "method in his madness," and our reason is that it is an almost con ceded fact the Republican party will . succeed to the national government. Now, the eloquent Colonel has his weather eye open to a good snug berth from that party, and has as samed a leadership for a class of people who have no State berths to bestow ; but, if the Republican party gets control of national affairs, their leaders are most sure to be rewarded. The history of political parties show that the most successful to se cure good positions are those who make themselves conspicuously ob noxious to the vanquished party, and this is what Colonel Dargan appears to be doing. In his speech to the negroes at Charleston last week, if the News and Courier reports him correctly, he delightel his hearers with saying a number of things which he knew were very distasteful to his own race, and finally capped the climax with the following re markable statement : "Colonel Dargan said that his house was for people of such a color as he preferred, and in that every man had a right to be judge. It was low and contemptible, how ever, he said, for white men to talk of be ing superior to negroes. True nobility of soul seeks to elevate and not pull down. He then quoted a passage of Tennyson's, transposing the lines afterward to read 'Kind hearts are better than white skins.' Continuing, Colonel Dargan said: 'I ex sppet to be frowned on for going to the col ored-people." - A few years ago people from abroad came to this State and preached a similar doctrine, the re sult being, that for years the heel of oppression was on the necks of our People. South Carolina was despised, and blushes would mantle the cheeks to acknowledge as hailing from this State. It was dangerous for our women to travel on the streets or highways, lest they would be insulted by some negro who had been taught to believe the way to show their freedom was to be as obnoxious as possible to the white race. But why go on to revive the old mem ories? Suffice it to say that our people preferred prisons-yes, death -to a, continuance of such a horrible state of affirs, and, with a remark able heroism-such as no people ever before displayed-rose and crushed the hydra-headed monster. They look upon the past as a horrible nightmare, and woe be unto the man or set of men who again attempts to force that old condition upon us. Colonel Dargan feels that it is ~contemptible for white men f being superior to negroes," let him go to some place where such thoughts are palatable. The white people will talk of being superior to negroes, and will maintain their su periority gt whatever cost. The fears that we entertain of Colonel Dargan in inculcating such doctrine into the mind of the negro is that the poor deluded being will bring trouble to himself, and when he looks for his guiding star it will have vanished. There is no use mincing words. The white people of this State are going to rule it, and all this gust of wind to the galleries to catch the applause of , the Northern people-that sym patmaiz with the negro of the South for his vote-can not prevent it. If Colonel Dargan is mad-he should be looked after, because his con duct is dangerous to himself and to the community at large. The State provides an institution for such un fortunates. But, if he is not mad and is endeavoring to arouse the base prejudices of the negroes that he may profit thereby', he should be rer'dto desist. W~eKiave no confidence in the sin ceiy of this man, for we well re member his outburst of indignation when a certain newspaper published in his town permitted a colored preacher to write over his own signa ture in. its columns. Dargan fairly tore his hair out by the roots in de nouncing the proprietor of that paper, and now he comes forward and appeals to the colored race to make him their Moses. We also re member his attitude towards the negro in 1876. Why, this man who now says it is low and contemptible for white men to talk of being su perior to the negroes was so ag gressively violent that his friends had fears of the results. The negro to-day is not what he was when the carpet-baggers and snallawags beguiled him into their confidence. He has tbrough a white man's government become educated, and Colonel D)argan-or any other man--need not nurse the idea that if the negroes again control the bal lot in this State that they will be foolish enough to intrust that power to any but their own race. They trusted white men cnce who were enemies to their own race, and they reaped a bitter result therefrom. They have learned from 'sad experi ence that the white man takes the turkey and the negro gets the buz zard every time ; and now, if the turkey should by chance come the negroes' way, and they can hold him, they will play 'the game of "turn about is fair play," and give the white man the buzzard to gnaw sure and cer tain. The injunction or restraining order issued by Judge Goff has created a sensation all over the Union, and the prominent dailies are filled with ed itorials questioning Judge Goffs right in the premises. They regar-d the interference as dangerous to "States' Rights" doctrine, and some of them claim that if he persists in his course he will precipitate civil war. Governor Evans is going right aloner with his duties and the State constables are seizing liquors just as if no order hiad been signed. Just how it will terminate is hard to fore see, but one thing is certain, that the people of this State intend to have a constitutional convention and that the white people intend to control it. Another thing is certain,. and that is, the white men of South Carolina will have to lay aside petty spite and go earnestly to work to make the con vention a success. Manning Twists Columbia's Tail. The announcement of the citizens of this town having entered the race for the Epworth Orphanage has aroused the city of Columbia and has caused the Columbia Register to sound a tocsin of alarm. This es teemed contemp:rary, after stating the amount already subscribed by our citizens, in a leading editorial says: 'Manning is regarded as one of the least formidable of Columbia's competitors for the Orphanage, and what Manning has al ready done ought to show Columbians that if they want to secure the Orphanage they will have to go down deep in their pockets. The committee which has been soliciting subscriptions has done exceed ingly 'well, but more is needed to make it certain that Columbia will distance her competitors." Columbia, on account of its size, may regard Manning as not being a formidable competitor for this insti tution, but if it will consider the beauty and health of our town, be sides the make-up of its society and the broad and liberal spirit of our citizens, it will come to the con clusion that Manning is a strong rival for such an institution. It should be located where the people are not hide-bound in prejudice and conceit. In all matters our people are liberal; they accord to every man an honest motive until the con trary is shown. They do not belittle themselves by constantly sneering at those whom the majority love and honor. They do not mix politics with business, and are always ready and willing to invite and aid in a worthv cause. Columbia, on the other hand-that is, if some of the editorial utterances in the State are to be taken as an indication of the sentiment-is opposed to any and every thing which can not be con trolled bya select repudiated few. A choral society can not give an entertainment but what its effect is ruined by slurs being thrown at the men whom the people have entrusted with leadership. When a location for a charitable institution is being looked for, those in charge of the work would like to find a community where the people do not allow petty prejudices to govern them in society and business, and in Manning they will find the place they want. The people of Manning want the Ep worth Orphanage, and if, besides other advantages, more money is needed, it can be obtained. It is pure, unadulterated hypocra cy for a man to say that he is en deavoring to tear up our election laws because it is a patriotic duty. Caldwell, who is Pope's associate, sets up such a claim and points to his war record to prove himself a patriot. Longstreet was a gallant soldier and won laurels on fields of carnage. Mahone was another, but when the war ended and the white people of the South were shackled and op pressed, how long did these men stand by their people ? Did they; not desert them and go over to the enemy ? We have no doubt that Caldwell did do his duty in the war thousands of others did, also-but because he did his duty once is no reason why he should be licensed to plunge a traitorous blade into the hearts of his people now, and any man who will sell his ability, to bring ruin upon the people that once hon red him is a traitor of the deepest dye. When fevers and other epidemics are round, safety lies in fortifying the system with Ayer's Sarsaparilla. A person having tin and impure blood, is in the most favor able condition to "catch" whatever disease may b'~e floating in tbe air. Be wise in time. NEW ZION LETIER. ConditIon of Crops - Closing Exercises of the Pine Grove Academy. Nriw Ziox, S. C., April 29. 1895. Editor Manning Times:-I write you the current news of this vicinity. Tobacco planting seems to be all the go here ; can count twenty-five new barns in course of erection in an area of five miles. The plant bed& are backward on account of the severe winter and late spring, but the plaots look w'ell if small. We will have ample facilities to handle Our tobacco next fall, as there are two warehouses in Florence, two in Darlington, one in Sumter rand one in Timmonsville. The more the merrier, as competition will enhance the price of tobacco. Oar farmers are very backward in their rops so far on account of the rains. The corn-stands on upland are very good. Very little cotton has been planted as yet. The area in this crop has been materially cut down. Large provision rops have been planted. We believe in having more "hog and honminy." Your scribe a short while ago had the pleasure of attending at the Pine Grove Methodist Church the closing exercises of the Pine Grove Academy, under the man agement of that competent and efficient instructor, the Rev. Ralston E. Smith, and is able assistant, Miss Laura Turbeville, who has been quite recently happily married to Mr. Walter Castine. The cademy had a very large attendance of scholars, and the patrons were delighted with the manner in which it was con :ucted and the progress their children made in their studies, as was attested by the praises bestowed upon Mr. Smith and is charming assistant on all sides. The programme consisted of dialogues and declamations by the pupils, and each and every one of them-both teachers and scholars-acquitted themselves to the entire satisfaction of the large and de lighted audience present. I do not wish to draw invidious comparisons, but I can not refrain from saying that the valedictori an acquitted himself in an able manner and that the young man will yet make his mark. Then came the dinner, and oh ! ye Gods! it was just such a one that the wives of the Turbevilles, Greens, Gambles and others of these "good folks" know how to get up. There are two things for which salem is famous-good dinners and pretty girls. Where I am known it is per haps unnecessary for me to say that I did ample justice to the savory viands, and in this respect I am always willing to accord justice to the good things of life by ap propriating a goodly share to my own use and behoof. After this bountiful repast had been served the audience was treated to eloquent discourses on appropriate subjects by the Rev. Mr. Wright, the Methodist muinister in charge of this cir cit, and the Rtev. Mr. Tenney, the pastor >f Bethel Baptist Church, after which your scribe wended his way homeward, "too full for utterance" and with many misgivings for his physical ailments on the morrow. Happily, I got there all the Recollections of Potter's Raid. BY REV. W. W. M)oD. Having so unexpectedly and under such strange surroundings found General Pot ter's address, I felt sure now that I'd ob tain Lieutenant Waterman's, who had acted as a brother toward me and mine the night this negro army spent in Manning, April 8, 1865. General Potter, however, did not reply, and, alter waiting several wecks, I wrote again, even more urgently than before, and then after some tie wiote ain. But I heard nothing from him. I could do no more. I remember about that time on entering my Sunday-school room (Marion street, Columbia.) that our watchful superintendent, John A. Elkins, said to me: "Come, speak to several new scholar" -and this always gave him the greatest pleasure. "Who are they ?' "T'he Water man sisters, relatives of Gav. It. K. Scott, and one of the Governor's children." Speak ing to them I told them "I'd call to see their parents the next day." My purpose, too, was to, if possible, find out through these something about my friend Water man. Mrs. Waterman and a lady relative received me very kindly and expressed much pleasure at the reception of the children at the Sunday- school, and re quested me to call on her brother, the Governor. I did not hesitate to make in quiry for my friend, telling them some thing of the circumstances. It interest.d them, but I could learn nothing. Mrs. Waterman said "she was from the North west, and had no near relative in the United States army." There were, how ever, many questions, very many, asked by them, and in the course of the con versation they asked if all the ofiicers in this negro army of General P.'s were negroes. '-No; all the commissioned were white but one ; he was a bight mulatto from Massachusetts." "Did you see him ?" "Not while General P.'s army was in my town, but I see him very frequently on the streets, and he is now a member of the State Senate." It was further developed that they knew him and he was a guest at their home. This was a revelition to me. But I can't allow my pen to dwell upon this mulatto Lieutenant of Potter's army, and the part he has taken in the politics of South Carolina. It was now several months since I had irst written to General Potter, and I de spaired of hearing from him. I certainly, if I had had tho means, would have gone to him. Meeting Mr. C, H. Baldwin ou the street I asked him "if he'd serve me?" "Yes, Mr. M., I am willing to serve you in any way I can-" I told him then-going up into his office-in what way : that per haps he might secure a reply from General Potter, giving him the particulars. "This reminds me, Mr. M., of when this city was in the hands of General Sherman, and that one of his army corps Generals took pos session of my dwelling svith his staff, and that before retiring from Columbia he asked to see Mrs. Baldwin, and told her that he could not consent to occupy her elegant home without reimbursing her, and he left fifty dollars of shining gold. On my return home I resolveti on return ing it and to thank him for the protection he had given Mrs. B. and the child-ren. It cost me some trouble to find him, having to go to Washington and search the army records ; but, finding him, 1 went to his city, to his street, and to his house. I rang the bell, was invited into his parlor, and there I thanked him, and returned him the same gold he had left with my wife. Iknow something of your feelings, and appreciate my being called on to assist you in finding this officer. I will write at once to General Potter, and if in a reasonable time he does not reply, I'll go to his town and to his house." He assured me that he'd do everything he could for me in finding W. In the meantime my appointment from the conference was at Cheraw, and I had heard nothing from 'General Potter. I gave it all up, though I could never forget Lieutenant Waterman. To my great surprise and pleasure I re ceived from Mr. Baldwin a letter dated April 17, 1872, inclosing a letter from Gen eral Potter. It was dated February 12, 1872, saying that he had not yet ascer tained the address of Lieutenant WVater man. "It is extremely difficult to find the residences of officers, as they are so widely scattered. I have not in a long time met Major Place. who commanded the detachment of engineers at the time you refer to. I may possibly succeed in securing a hearing from Colonel Hale, who commanded the regiment. If I should do so, and if Colonel Hale knows of Lieutenant Waterman, I will at once let you be informed. Please make my excuse to your friend for not having answered his letter. The cause was my inability to give him the desired information. Yours truly, Edward B. Potter -" There was sonme satisfaction in receiving this letter, and though it gave me two names of prominent oflicers of his army, it did not give their address, and while I was no nearer finding W., yet somehow it intensified my desire to find himi. I saw in the Charleston News. and Courier, from one of its correspondents at Washington, a very full notice of "Gen eral Marcus J. Wright, Agent for War De partment. Publication Office War Thcords 1861-65.|' The though't struck me to write to General W~right. From him I receivea promptly the followinit : " War Depart ment. Publication Office War Records 1861-65," March 29, 1880. (My readers will observe that it was no0w more than eight years since I had heard from Gcneral Potter.) My Dear sir; Your letter of the 26th instant reached me just on the eve of my departure on a trip of twenty days on business. I will be here by the 25th of April~and if you will write to me then fully in regard to the matter you are so anxious to hear about, I will take great pleasure in giving you such aid as I can. V'ery truly, Marcus J. Wright. I wrote then fully to him ; his letter, so very kind, leading me to believe he'd as sist me in finding my friend, though as I remembered him, not by any means a robust man, sitting on that trunk at the foot of my bed, I feared in these years he may have passed away, perhaps was killed the next day after we parted at the fight at Dingle's Mill. a short distance from the town of Sumter, S. C. The reply to this came promptly : "Rtev. Mr. M.-My Dear Sir: I inclose you a note from Mr. J. W. Kirkley, just received, clerk in the Adjutant-General's office, in charge of personal records of officers. This is all the information I have been ; able to obtain for you. I trust you will be able from Mr. Kirkley's suggestion to learn what you wish. If I can aid you further, call on me. Very truly, Marcus .J. Wright." "Dear General."

This note from Mr. K., the clerk in General Wright's office, brought me a little nearer my friend. At least, I had learned his entire name, which wvas a great satis faction, and there were two names to whoma I could write. I wrote to "Captain MGuire of the police force of Newv York." I never receiv-ed a reply. Colonel Serrell replied as follows promptly : "No. 17 Nassau street, New York, June 1, 1880. General Serrell pre sents his compliments to the Rev. Win.

United States Gun Boat's Ordered to Pro ceed to Nicaraguan Porta. WASHINGTON, April 30. -After several conferences yesterday with Secretary Gresham and Secretary Herbert, the secretary of the navy sent dispatches to commanders of the United States gunboats, Alert and the Atlanta, di recting them to proceed without delay to San Juan del Sur, and Greytown, Nicaragua, respectively. The Alert is at Panama and it will take her about a day and a half to reach San Juan del Sur, which is the cable station nearest Corinto, situated about 100 miles below that port. The Atlanta is at Key West, Fla., and can make the distance of 750 miles from that place to Greytown in two and a half days. When Secretary Herbert was asked the significance of these orders, he answered promptly as follows: The newspapers say that a revolution is probable in Nicaragua. They state that the people are very much dissatified with the course of the government and are likely to at tempt to overthrow it. In order to protect the interests of American citizens, their lives and property, and following the policy always pur sued in such centingencies, I have ordered the Alert to San Juan del Sur. and the Atlanta to Greytown. In addition to these vessels, the Montgomery, now at Mobile, will sail on May 7th for Greytown, conveying the Nicaraguan canal commission to that place. The Monte rey, which has sailed for Panama, will remain at Panama for the present. With two United States ships on one side of Nicaragua and one ship on the other side, it is plain that Ameri can interests will be well protected if the ru mored revolution should take place." THE WEALTHY HEAD THE LIST. About Twenty Per Cent Have Failed to Make Income Tax Returns. -WASHINGTON, April 26.-Revised cal culations indicate that about '20 per cent of the persons subject to the in come tax have failed to make the re turn prescribed by the law. -The first estimate placed the number of delin quents at about 10 per cent. Each day adds to the difficulties and perplexities in- the enforcement of the emusculated statute. Although secrecy is properly observed by the officials in regard to individual eases, it is generally under stood that many of the wealthiest men in the country have ignored the law completely. This is said to be particu larly the case with several well-known millionaires, whose incomes are deriv ed mainly from rents. The Vanderbilts are classed in this category. and sever al rich mnh in Philadelphia, Baltimore and this city are said to have failed to inform the internal revenue officers of the character and extent of their in come. ______ SALE HAS BEEN CONFIRMED.

Without Work and Behind in Rent, the Old Workmen Must Go. CifcAGo, April 29.-One hundred and fifty families at Pullman, who have paid no rent to the Pullman company| since the beginning of the great strike, have been served with notices of evic tion. .All of the heads of these fami lies were employed in the shops before the strike, but none of them was able to get back. The Pullman officials say there is no "black list," but by an odd oincidence certain men are invariably told that there is no work for them, while other men are taken on even while the foreman is asserting that no rore help is needed. The man who is blamed for this is Manager Middleton. The sufferers believe that Mr.'Pullman is ignorant of their condition. ONFEDERATE DEAD HONORED.

TilE PENDING INCOME TAX DECISION. Why the Friends of the E%-P're.adtnt op pose the Ioaring Before tho Tea nessee Jurist-Former Oppo sition to Him Recalled. WASImINGToo, April :. -The an nouncement that Mr. Ju.stice .jaekson will sit with his associates of the su preme court in the rehearing of the income tax case develops the fact that his opinion in the ease will possess an interest for the politicians beyond the questions immediately involved. It may cut a figure in the contest-grow ing livelier now every day-for the re publican nomination for the presi dency. Judge Jackalpm'.i A)p)oiltlnCt. Mention was made recerntlv of the protest entered b a number of repub lican leaders agair.st the appointment of Judge Jackson by President liarri son. They took the groundi and in sisted that the oflice should go to some member of their own party. It could only be in this way. they contended, that the appointment could be fully guaranteed. The party would be held responsible, and the party, therefore. should fill the oiliee. 'T'here was no criticism of Judge Jackson in any wise affecting his professional equip ment. It was contened that he was a good man and a good lawyer. But, be inga democrat of thorough trairing and deep conviction, he must be ex pected to take a democratic view of public questions in general. There would be a risk in this. these republican leaders said. They earn eastly advised the appointment of a republican-one whose training had imbued him with. convictions fromt the republican stand-point. President IHarrison. putting r.1 Cf these soggestions aside, stolod upon the simple proposition that politics .ust not be permitted to obtrude in matters respecting the bench, so he -elected Judge Jackson, a democrat. to .ucee d Judge Lamar, a democrat. The Present Interest1::-.; L:Lnts. There has now arisen one of those very interesting and uiportant roints upon which po'itical parties. divide. The republican party. as a party. is against the income tax. T demo cratic party, as a party. is for the tax. The supreme court, without Judre Jackson, is evenly divided on the question of the constitutionalty vf the law. Judge Jackson is called upon to cast the deciaing vote. The laav ould stand without his vote. but public sentimeut demands a majority -:ote of the court one way or the ether. If Judge Jackson is in favor of the tax republican leaders who opposed his ap pointment will, it is predicted. at once revive the fact of their opposition and insist that had their advice been taken and a good sound republican selected the tax would have been overthrown. These men are all anti-Harrison men as -respects next year's presidential nominations of their party. The Jack son appointment was one of many to which they objected. They are organ i-zing to oppose him again should the movement in his behalf for next year take formidable shape, and every cir cumstance susceptible of use against him is being tabulated and filed away. But thiere is also the other side of the problem. It Judge Jackson decides against the tax it will be equally in the power of the Harrison men to claim for their favorite a share in the felicitation that will follow in republican circles. -Real situation Not Affected. Nothing, of course, in all this will in anywise affect the real situation. Judge Jackson will pass upoa the ques tion without regard to politics, or the source from which his olicial comm~iis 'sion came. Nor does the fact tha t he is a democrat signiff. Juadge Harlan, who is a staunch republican. verted to 'uphold the law, while JTudge Field, who is a democrat, gave the law one of the most resounding blo-.s ever h:ard ini the supreme court chamber. l'elities are undoubtedly barred in the- court on the income tax proposition.
