Enteretd at the Post Oice at Manning as Second-Class Matter. WE KNOW WHEREOF WE SPEAK. The County Record, published at Kingstree. the present home of Mr. .Joel E. Brunson, candidate for Governor. recently nominated or suggested by the prohibition fac tion in a convention in Co lumbia, has felt called upon to read us a lecture for making pub lie the political career of the Pro hibition candidate. This it did without doing us the fairness to reproduce the whole of the edito rial complained of. The editor of the Record is young, and per haps when he has been at the tri pod longer he will be more fair, and let his readers see the cause of his complaint against another editor. Now, that our readers may judge between us, we here with reproduce the Record's com plaint: THE MANNING TIMES usually bases its editorials upon facts, but when it said in last week's issue that Mr. Joel E. Brunson -'has been a persistent seeker for office until the hope of gratifying his ambitions was so for lorn that he was forced to give it up," it left its usual path, The editor of the Times must to have been misin formed as to who Mr, Brunson is, for never but once has he been a can didate for any office, and was then elected in the primary, but was left out by the convention which made up the ticket. The occasion referred to is the same one that THE TIMES mentions, when Mr. Brunson opposed Dr. Woods for the legislature from the Sa lem section in Clarendon county, and Mr. Brunson was then the suc cessful competitor, and not Dr. WVoods, as THE TIMEs asserts. But perhaps fifteen or eighteen years affect the memory of the pugnacious editor of THE TIMEs. The Record is correct when it says "THE- MANNING TIES usu ally bases its editorials upon facts," and in the case the Record complains of. THE TIEs' editorial wvas based upon facts wvhich wve are prepared to provc if Mir. Brunson wvill, over his signature. denv our assertion that he "has been a persistent seeker f)rcGile, and for the inforimation of- the ed itor of the Record we will say we were not ' isinformed as to who M~r. Brunson is.," because wve have known him for many years. and had a little to do with the politics of~ tlfis county when he. although a straniger to the people, was a conspicuous member of our conl ventions. We know of our own knowledge that at all of the-se conventions, executive committee meetings and public gatherings Mr. Birunson's conduct wvas such nis to cause him to be regarded by every body as a chronic office seek er,. not. as a Prohibitionist, but for anything, oh. Lord, so it was of -The editor of THlE TIES, un like the editor 0f the Record, has lived in his county the best part of his life and he could not afford o make the statements he (does were they not true, because thecre are too many living witnesses wvho well remember MIr. Bruras;m e 1eer while he sojourned amngst us. The Record's editor is com paratively a stranger to the peo ple of his county and he is not m a position to defend, of his own knowledge, the p~ast political ca reer of any citizen. lie must dle pen d upon hearsay. and in this case we presunme he obtained his inormationi tromt Mr. Bi'unson, as tat gentleman used almost t he identical laniguage in conversation with us. Thinking p~erhiaps t here was something in the fact that about eighteeni years have gone by since the alleged defeat of Brunson by Woswe concluded to ask some of thiose who figured inpoite in those days .and every one of' The Records inference to the -pugnacious editor ot' TiE TiuEs" is entirely gratuitous and will go by this time without special no tice, but we place the Record on notice that Tus TIMES will base its editorials upon facts, and be fore the campaign is half over some of these facts will prove of-' fective with people who are not carried "off their feet"I by a senti iment. We further give notice to the Record that we will charge it with unfairness whenever it con ments upon our editorials without reproducing them. IE GIVE CEASAR HIS DESEtTS. It is not our purpose to misrepre sent any man, and we will not do so knowingly, at the same time we pro pose to discuss a candidate's political career with perfect freedom, and in our support or opposition,we will en deavor to steer clear of a milk and water policy, so frequent among edit ors in this day. We have decided opinions upon all questions and do not hesitate to express them when ever we deem it necessary. In conversation with Mr. Joel E. Brunson, the candidate for Governor on the Prohibition-Dispensary ticket, a question of memory arose, the Pro hibitiou-Dispensary candidate thiuks we were mistaken when we said in our issue of the 20th inst., "The very head of the ticket, while a consistent advocate of prohibition has also been a persistent seeker of ofice until the hope of gratifying his ambition was so forlorn that he was forced to give it up." fr. Brunson claims that he never asked for a vote of this people and was never a can didate, except in the sense that he allowed his name used once in what may be termed a preliminary primary in Salem. He further says, in that primary he defeuted Dr. Woods and it was the only time he was ever voted for, and that it was unjust for us to say "the hope of grat ifving his ambition was so forlorn that he was forced to give it up." We stated that, while a resident of this county Mr. Brunson was a per sistent seeker for office and as the gentleman denied this, we requested him to make said denial over his sig nature that we may publish it; this proposition was declined with the request, that we correct the erro neous impression we might have made regarding him. We have lived in Clarendon for a quarter of a cen tury and since attaining a -voting height ,we have taken an active inter est in the political affairs of this coun ty; we knew Mr. Brunson during his residence in Salem. Our recollection is that Mr. Brunson also took consid erable interest in politics in those days and was quite active in our Con ventions and at the county executive committee meetingsr. Ho wvas regarded at that time as a candidate for ":ny old thing" and his not having asked for a vote, and was not voted for, is no sign that he did not have his rods out for the political lightning to strike. Very few men who are ambitious for office make a direct personal request for a vote, but they have friends who can plead most persuasively. This gentle man admits that he ran in a prelimi nary primary in Salem, but declares he defeated Dr. Woods and was de cared the choice of Salem and that on account of the action of the execu tive comnittee he failed to get the noination. Our recollection is that Salem was coinstantly claiming a representative on the ticket and we were among those who be lieved, on account of her large p)or tion of the Democratic vote her claim was just; this view held by the lead ing men on this side hut the diflicui ty wvas thalt Salem had two aspiranuts, both claiming to be the choice of those people. Th~ese gentlemen were Mr. Joel E. Brunson and Doctor I. 1. Woods, anid each had backers, the result was a suggestion for that sec tion to hold a preliminary primary and choose a candidate with the un derstanding that whoever they seleet ed would be supp~orted on this side, and which meant certriiu election; this proposition was agreed to, and Joel E. Brunson this same man whose head is now stuck ou] to a dis pensary body, with a free lipuor tail to wag, and Doctor L. M. W~oods en tered the race for G-Xem's choice pledged to abide the result, Mr. Blrunson claims now that he came out vitorious and our memory tells us that Doctor Woods was declared the one chosen; our memory also tells us that Mr. Brunson contended that he was chosen and Dr. Woods disputed his claim and the whole upshot of the dispute resulted in both of them staying at home and Salem bei.:g left without a representative. T1his par ticular p~rimary was the only one in which Mr. Brunson's name wvas voted, but our readers will remember that before o'ur present primary system we had conventionsh aud there were a number of men who stood around gaping with the hope that a plum would drop in their mout hs; they did not ask any body to vot for them either, hut those who could not see by t heir mfanwar-vering theyv were seeking office were blind indeed, and Mr. Brnnson then of Clarendon form erlv of Sumter and now of Williams burg, was conspeuous among that ls. We aserrt most positively that Joel E. Brunson was regarded an office-seeker while he resided in this county and the people thought it presumptions in him; conpartively a stranger, and in order that his friends may not say he was even in those days battling for prohibition we will say, as a matter of fa-t, the question was not an issue at all, nor did Mr. Brunson attempt to make it the issue. WAR. Sinee the glorious victory of Dew ey at Manila, a partial acconut is on our first page, there has been noth ing but news confirming the crush ing defeat of the enemy with the de tails lacking. There is no doubt that the Spaniards feel keenly the blow struck them in the Phillippines, and although Dewey's fleet was wade up of unarmored vessels he proved be yond a doubt the superiority of American seamanship and valor. The Spaniards have cut the cable at Ma nilN and it will be several days be fore we will be able to get any news from that quarter. The next to come will be that the stars and strips will be proudly floating over the city of Manila if such is not the case to-day. The United States won a magnificient victory, and another such will be the "blow that killed father" and hostili ties will cease; the demands of Uncle Sam will be vielded to and Cuba will be free. The army is about ready to undertake the invasion of Cuba, and our State has already gotten up her quota and the troops are now going into camp at Columbia. The Man ning Guards are not quite ready but the fault is not with the Captain, who is anxious to carry his company to the front, and to that end Captain Davis has been working night and day to secure the necessary 84 men. He now has 65 and has until to-night to get the remainder; should be fail to get the required number the Man ning Guards will not have a place in the picture. Fii zhargh Lee has been appointed a Major General. Senator Tillman and McLaurin are urging the President to appoint M. C. But ler one of the Major Generals also. Governor Ellerbe has announced his appointments as follows: J. K. Alston, Columbia, colonel. James H. Tillman, Edgefield lieu tenant colonel. Henry T. Tbompson, Darlington, senior major. M. B.

The news fakirs continue sending out all kinds of wild and sensational reports and it is very difficult to get straight news. Last night a telegram went over the wires saying that Ma nila had surrendered unconditionally and this morning it turns out to be a fake. His Holiness the Pope is said to be prostrated from the news of the Ma nia - battle and the Queen Regent weeps). The Spanish Atlantic fleet is on its way to Cuban waters and if Sampson's squadron meets it, there will be an engagement which will put th'e M~anila light into insigniti cance. The two Atlantic fleets will be a battle of giants and if the stars and stripes are victorious, ini our opinion the war will end. Spain will then see iLer utte~r inability to cop wvith' the American nation and she will retire and accede to such terms as the United States shall dic LrAmi-Capt.

When every other county in South Carolina agreed to put aside factional differences here comes Charleston with a discordant note and refuses. The politicians of that city have done considerably towards alieniating the reSt of the State and they do not seem to realize the fact that their narrow minded policy is not being approved of elsewhere. At their convention last MIonday to elect delegates to the State convention, at a time when the Democracy is endeavoring to put away factional differences Charleston boasts of her factional spirit, and they refused to allow the Reformers representation oni the delegation. Mr. Dinkin who seems to be one of the high muck-a-mucks of that city ,objected to giving the Reformers representation for fear that it will create the impression that the Con servatives of Charleston"are weaken ing," and he wanted "to see Charles ton send a solid anti-Tillman delega tion." This sentiment was received with applause. it is fortunate for tihe rest of the State that Charleston is all alone in her foolish bigotry and instead of, by her course winning the approval of the .Conservatives outside of that city the effect is quite to the contrary which will be seen when these wise (?) politicians un dertake to wield any influence in the State Democratic Councils. In strong reform counties the fac tional question was not mooted, dele gates were elected from a reunited Democracy and whether they were Conservativeb or Reformers in the past will not be taken into cousider ation. Bat Charleston persists in re fusing to recognize a reunited party, and as a result of her blindness and folly,she placed herself out of any in fluential reach in party politics. Does this help Charlesto>? We think not, and if her people continue to permit the present gang of politicians to manage her affairs, just so long will they find the rest of the State antag onistic to her interest, politically and commercially. We think the Ileformers acted silly in refusing to vote in the convention; they should have gone right ahead, nominated men without regard to factional affiliations and allowed the extremists to defeat them. However, Charleston is Charlhston, and there is no place this side of Madrid that can equal her record for foolish conduct and it is not confined to any one fac tion. Both Reformers and Conserva tives in that county ought to be wiped out of political existence to matke room for a Bet of men to man age her political affairs with some degree of good judgment.

The Fight Which Prohibitionists are Making Against Prohibition. With perfect respe(t for the Chester Lan tern, we would like for that paper to give the poblic a fair and judical jndement as to who are thereal prohibitionists or friends of temperance.
