THE MANNING TIMES. LOUIS APPELT, Editor. Wednesday, June 5, 1S95. The Hampton Letter. In our last issue we expressed the belief that General Wade Hampton would not lend himself to in creasing the feeling of bitterness now existing between the factions, but if his recent public letter is an indication, it seems to us that he would make the breach wider and permanent. He advises- the Con servatives to "refuse to go into any primary or so-called compromise ; to nominate the ablest and best men -Conservatives and Reformers-who will strive to make a good Constitu tion; referring it back to the people for ratification or rejection, and for all to set their faces resolutely against all frauds in our elections." This is his ultimatum in the face of sincere efforts to heal the existing breach, but we believe the seed sown by this letter will cause thinking men of both factions to double their efforts in uniting the white people. In our judgment the Hampton letter, if the people were to act upon the lines suggested by it, would be a sur render of the white man to the negro. It would be virtually making the negro the sole arbiter of our differ ences. The fact of wanting the Con stitution sent back for ratification or rejection is sufficient to cause those who believe that the future of South Carolina depends upon the certainty of white supremacy, to spur them selves on in the work of having the Convention controlled by men who will not send the Constitution back. Under ordinary conditions it would be right that the people should have a voice in the acceptance or rejection of a Constitution to be made for them, but when it is remembered that one of the principal reasons for changing or making a new Constitu tion is to secure to the white people of this State the government which is theirs by right and in order to at tain this end there must be a curtail ment of a vast negro majority, then w: say it would be suicidal to refer the Constitution back, because there are 140,000 negro votes against 100,000 white votes, and if, in the new Con stitution, there is anything that will cut off any portion of this large negro vote, when the matter is sent back the negro will vote solidly for its jection. The white men of this State can not afford to let factional prejudices or jealousies keep them apart on a grave question like this. We must get together on this if we differ on every other issue. General Hampton talks about frauds in our elections as though he has just found out that such a thing as fraud ever exists in the elections in this State. He certainly has for gotten the modus operandi of the elections which took him from his plantation in Mississippi and landed him in the gubernatorial chair of South Carolina and afterwards in the United States Senate. If fraud ex isted in the elections since 1890 when thp in power had no opposi tion to defraud-what was it prior to 1890, when the party was fought in1 every election ? It is all fol-de-rol to talk about frauds at this late day, and it is never heard except from the disap pointed. What we want to see is, for the white men to put forward men in whom they have every confidence; nominate them in the primary, and then elect them at the general . elec tion. We'do not want to see the factions brought into the selection of the delegates, and we believe if the poli ticians will preach this kind of doc t'rine instead of demanding impossi bilities, the Constitutional Conven tion-on which so much depends, on which the future welfare of our children depends-will be made up o men who will go there with our condition and the needs of the State in their minds. Our view of this matter is that the people want a Constitution that will insure white supremacy and give the white children better school facilities. Politicians, however, want a whole lot of excitement and noise in order that the people will take sides with them, and each side is fighting for the largest crowd. The State Press Association held its annual meeting in Sumter last week, and the members of that or ganization who had the good fortune to be present will always remember the kindness and generous hospi tality exhibited by the wide-awake people of the coming "Gate City" of South Carolina. Sumter without a doubt has more genuine grit and and .business enterprise than any other city of its size in the State. On every hand can be seen evidences of thrift and progress. The citizens spared neither means nor expense to make the stay of the editors pleas ant, and all of them will be bound to feel under everlasting obligations to the "Game Cocks" for not killing them with their big heartedness. The Edgefield County Democratic Executive Committee has called for a convention to nominate three men from each faction for the Constitu tional Convention whom they will urge the people to nominate in the primary. Can reasonable people ex pect more than this? What will Clarendon do ? The Supervisors of Registration throughout the State had their of fices open to register voters last Mon day. The United States Court had rescinded its restraining order a few days before. A great many of the newspapers throughout the State think it would be unwise to ask General Hampton to take an active part in polities now. The Moultrie Observer, a Georgia weekly, recognizes the fact that South Carolina has a spunky Gov ernor. It says : "Governor Evans of South Carolina still holds the reins notwithstanding the decisions of Judges Goff and Simonton. We glory in his grit."

There is no one in this State who has a higher regard for Wade Hampton than the editor of the Herald and News, though we do not know him personally and have only seen him once or twice. We believe he is a patriot and that he would sacrifice as much for South Carolina as any man in it. But he is not familiar with the conditions here now, and it would be unkind to him to ask him to take an active part in the struggle now about to take place. We were delighted to see the ovation given him in Charleston, but it would be different if he were to enter the political field. Out of our love, and admiration for him we beg that he take no part in this struggle. Newberry Herald and News (Conservative.) BUCKLENS ARNICA SALVE.

THE HAVE BEENS. Of all things in this world truth-an un palatable truth.---is the hardest to be ad mitted. We hear a great deal said about the de perate condition of South Carolina. Our people go away from home frequently to learn from strangers how really desperate our condition is, but the solemn and unde niable truth is that the State as yet is in the hands of her own people-some of the same people who have ever been identitied with her fortunes and her destiny-who have fought her battles, who have tilled her fields and wrought in her workshops. They have changed their leaders in some material respects, it is'true, and the inter ference and espionage of the Federal gov ernment has been invoked to properly punish the atrocious criminality of -this proceeding; the condemnation of the civilized world has been called down upon us, and the calamities thus brought about and other still more dire calamities of which we live in hopes are anticipated in consequence of this unprecedented de pravity of our people. But we don't really believe we are going to the demnition bow wows. It only accords with our present humor to profess to believ-e so. We reverence Hampton and Butler and others for what they have been, and we ex perience some natural chargin at the rude ness with which practical politics has shoved our idols at the risk of injuring sme portion of their personality, but in heart of hearts we recognize the fact that they belong to past rather than to current history. We know that they have no po litical influence any lorger in the State; we realize that tire factors with whom we have to deal are the Tillmans, the Evanses and the Irbys. The very men who apoth eotise Hampton in their professions daily and who daily consign T1illaman, Evans andr Irby to eternal perdition are those who tre never seen paying real tribute to the de parting luminaries, but may be found 11. most daily cooling their heels in the ante chambers or besieging by letter and pe ti tion the new factors in government and politics for favors small or great. "We 'cuss' you out in public, hat, of course, we known, privately speaking, you are good fellows. It's all politic's, and yon can't blame us for playing the game." The Barnwells, the Hemphills, the Mc Gowans, etc., are ready andl willing to go in with the Tiilltnans, the Evanse and the Irbys, but they are not willing to let the people get together without a compact which will recognize their importance in the "'deal.''" But wvhat is the interest of the State at large or of Charleston in particular in these personal politics? We have had some bad and unfortunate laws foisted on us through the adverse in uence of these factious hostilities, which have been fomented in the main by the defeated lea'ders--laws which dould have been impossible of enactment had the people of the State been united in fraternal and friendly interest, and laws which, in their very nature, can only be prolo ged indefinitely ny the perpetuation of this un natural division among our people. Take the dipensary law, which bears so hard and unjustly on a large class of our people. In its inception it was a revolt against the too free and well nigh unhl censed traffic in liquor which obtained in the State under former conditions. From the extrem'e of license it violently, thougli perhaps naturally, oscillated to the extremie of a government monopoly in the trattic, predicated on the erroneous basis of the State's powers of police regulation, and before now, we are convinced, it wvould have gravitated to the true solution of' high license and stricter governmental sur veillance had not the spirit of faiction seized upon it for political uses and identi fed its maintenance or abandonment with the fortunes of the majority and minority fations of the white party in the State. Let us have done with these unnatural divisions; let us recognize the fact that other people may be as good and honest as we are and have the same rights that we have, and it will be a long step towel~ ILLINOIS DEMOCRACY The Final Preparations for the State Convention at Springfield. WILL DECLARE FOlR SILVER, 16 TO 1. Much Excitement Already Feat and Politi clans Begin to Gather in the Capital City-I hat the Gold .Men are Thinkir.g About. CHICAGo, June 4.--Throughout Illi nois, especially outside Cook county, the fight has been bitter and unrelent ing between the advocates and oppon ents of free silver coinage within the democratic party. and as the state con vention is to be held tomorrow at Springfield. the preliminary work of the silver men is about concluded. It is admitted by the gold standard men that the convention will put through a 1G to 1 platform with tlying colors and it is said to be the intention of the rank file, who stand for the silver side of the party, to make all the trouble they can for the federal ollice holders and other so-called gold bugs. It is understood to be the program mapped out by Gov ernor Altgeld, Secretary of State Ilin richen and other leaders of the Illinois democracy, who have nothing to lose. thereby to make an open fight on Pres ident Cleveland, Senator Palner a~d the big or little democrats in office who represent the federal anti-silver ele ment. Numerous Chicago democrats who expect to be appointed to federal offices and others who are influenced by personal interests, will stay away from the cenvention on account of the hot weather. The office holders under Altgeld intend to introduce a resolu tion to the convention zondemning the president's monetery policy. Eleven counties. ordinarially controlled by men holding government positions, have defiantly declared for free coin age. . V THE COTTON CROP OF EGYPT. The Nile Country Becoming a Serious Competition in tha Fleecy Stap'e. WASmIN-rox, June 4.-Consul Gene ral Penfield at Cairo has made a report to the state department on the prospec tive cotton crop of Egypt for the pres ent year, which demonstrates that the Nile country is becoming a serious com petitor in this staple. The Khedival government having no system for col lecting crop statistics the American consul general has employed represen tatives who have carefully canvassed the cotton growing section and their reports warrant the statement that there is no great increase of acreage over last year. A conservative estimate places the present area at 1,075,000 acres with a possible crop under favor able conditions of 1,050.000 bales, Amer ican standard. Planters find an incen tive in current high prices to extent the cotton territory, but the extension in 1894 was so great as to about reach the limit of possibility until irigation can have a fresh impulse. Shipments of Egyptian long stapled cotton to the United States continue to increase and for the commercial year 1894-95 will amount to 47,500 bales of 750 pounds .each, the equivalent of rbout 71,250 bales of A merican stand ard. The shipment ten years ago was less than 4,000 bales. SHOT THE GENERAL DOWN. An Infantry Offcer .'aiutos the Captain General of M1adcrid and Shoots Him. MADRID, June 4.-At 11 o'clock yes terday morning Major Clavijo, infan try officer, wvalked into the office of General Primo Rivera, captain general of Madrid, w'homn he saluted.

The case has been pending in the courts ever since. It was elabo rately argued some time ago and Judge Baker handed down his decision Satur day. The decision was favorable to the company in all points but one.

June 4.-There is consider ably more to the compromise of the Seaboard Airline case than appears on the surface. The withdrawal of the case before Judge Speer and the Sea board agreement to maintain rates in consideration of calling off the boycott of the Southern railway company and Steamship association are given out as the terms of the agreement of compro mise. but it is the general belief that there is another feature, and that it is the withdrawal of Major Stahlman from the commissionership of the asso ciation. Those best posted are strongly of the opinion that the Seaboard people have assurances that after July there will be a new commissioner. Their fight with the association has been due to con stant clash with Major Stahlman, and it is agreed that they would never have been brought to terms except for some such agreement. The friends of Major Stahlmnan say that some time ago he announced his determination to decline re-election. It is said that the major, believing in the chances of republican success in Tennessee, had his eyes upon the senatorial chair, now held by Isham G. Harris. RADICALS' TRIUMPH IN MiLAN.
