Entered at the Post Office at Manning as Second-Class Matter. Governor McSweeney and Staff are going to New York to assist the na tion in welcoming Admiral Dewey home. We are glad South Carolina is to be represented in the great event. The Dreyfus farcial trial still drags its way along, and judging frorm the demeanor of the President of the court, there will be another convic tion. For humanity's sake the United States put a stop to the cruelty of Spain in Cuba, and if Dreyfus is con victed again in the face of the evi dence as published, some near-by for eign power should, for humanity's sake, interfere and prevent the pun ishment. It does not look right for civilized governments to look indiffer ently on and see, even one man cruelly and unjustly punished, and it is as humane for a government to interfere for one innocent man as it is for thousands. The principle is the same. Germany and Italy are the govern ments that should speak .and act, as Dreyfus is charged with selling his government's secrets to them. If he did not, they should say so and for bid ais punishment. The press of South Carolina mourns the death of Col. Franz Melchers, which occured last Sunday night at his home in Charleston, the city he loved so well. Colonel Melchers was the editor of the only German news paper published in the State-the -"Deusche Zeitung." He stood high among his newspaper brethern, and as a citizen he was beloved through out the State. Colonel Melchers was, born in Germany, but when the call to arms came he was among the first to respond in defense of his adopted State, and in war and in peace his record was pure and enviable. Col Melchers was one of natures noble men, and no one could come in con Stact with him but what would go away impressed with his gentleness and nobleness of heart. He loved his, adopted State and served her with fidelity. He was indeed a pa triot, scholar and a gentleman, and by his death the editors throughout the State loses a true friend, and the country loses one of her noblest citi zens. There has been some agitation re cently over the question of "Income returns" and according to the pub lished reports Clarendon is among those classed as having no incomes returned. We do not know why this is so, because this county certainly has a number of persons and institu tions liable under the income tax law. The man with the little ox must pay his taxes with no chance to hide; that little oxens tail will stick out and the Auditor is sure to find it, and put its value on the tax books, then why not get at those who have incomes and make them pay their just portion of the taxes. The people are constantly crying against high taxes, and yet if they know a man who is a tax dodg er they will not report him. We be lieve if everything liable to taxation was properly returned, there would be less cause for complaint about high taxes. This tax problem is one of the hardest public men have to contend with, there is no man in pub lic life who does not want to devise some practical plan to lighten taxa tion, and yet notwithstanding this desire, we cannot see how it can be done without first arousing the peo ple to the necessity of reporting tax dodgers; stop this dodging and more money will come into treasury, hence a lighter levy.

Washington, Sept. 1.-Washington democrats are much pleased with the nomination of Hon. John 11. McLean for governor, by the Ohio democratic State Convention, not only because they believe him to be a strong can didate but because they like the man and think the Ohio democrats honor ed themselves in honoring him. Those who know what is going on under the surface, in Washington, are wondering whether 3r.McKinley is going to be so unwise as tv allow himself to be used by the little clique of New York millionaires to in crease the value of their property in Santo Domingo, by putting his fin gers in the revolution now going on there. They have had power enough to bring Secretary Hay back to Wash ington two weeks earlier than he was expected, and it is understood to be at their request that Mr. McKinley will return tomorrow, instead of a week later. They are not asking mueb! Only that Mr. McKinley will stop the revolution and declare a U. S. protectorate over Santo Domingo. A nice mess that would be, with all the other race troubles we already have on our hands. The rush for commissions in the new volunteer regiments for the Phil ippines is greater now than it was for those in the ten regiments recently organized, but reports from the va rious recruiting stations show that enlistments are much slower,so much slower that the War Department has notified all the recruiting officers that they are expected to get more recruits than they have been getting. A prominent Boston business man, who was in Washington this week said of the platform that will be adopt ed by the Massachusetts democratic State Convention, which will meet Sept. 21: "It will reaffirm every plank of the Chicago instrument, will roast the trusts in stinging English, denounce the inhuman massacre of the liberty-loving Filipinos, and de clare that the imperialist policy of McKinley, if unchecked, will be the death knell of the republic." The same man predicted that Massachu setts would send a solid Bryan dele gation to the National Convention. In view of the promise niade in the official proclamation of the Philippine Commission, issued last April, that "Local funds collected for local pur poses, shall not be diverted to other ends," there is ground for the com plaints at Manila, reported by uncen sored cablegrams, via Hong Kong, on account of the action of General Otis in using funds collected as local taxes for the support of the army. The country was told that every ef fort would be made by the adminis tration to obtain the confidenee of the peaceable Filipinos. Taking the taxes collected fir local benefit to help support an'invading army will strike most persons as a very poor way to obtain the confidence of the Filipinos. It was because cf broken promises that they revolted against Spain. The McKinley administration as repeatedly stated its entire ap proval of the acts of General Otis; it is therefore directly responsible for this wrongful use of money collected over there. It may have been the knowledge that a portion of the ex penses of the large army in the Phil ippines was to be paid with taxes collected from the natives which prompted Secretary Gage to say that neither additional war taxes nor more bonds would be necessary to meet the increased expenditures caused by: the increased army. The American people, as a whole, regardless of indi vidual opinions as to the future of the Philippines, will never endorse a na tional policy that includes deception nd oppression of a weaker people. Such a policy will quickly wipe out Mr. McKinley's platitudes about the Stars and Stripes standing for the same thing in the Philippines that they do in this country. The people of this country would not allow such imposition upon themselves, nor will they stand for its being practiced1 upon the people of any other country by the government of the U. S. For tunately the days of reckoning with the officials of our government are not so far apart as they are in other countries. Sb much has been written about the better class of Cuban's favoring annexation that most readers have ac epted it as a fact, but a New York business man who was recently in Havanna declares that he hunted in vain for this alleged annexation senti ment among any class of Cubans. He says that after talking with all clpsses of Cubans he became satisfied that the predominating sentiment towards the U. 5. among them was hatred. He thinks this is because of differ ence ~in race and customs, a differ ence that is practically permanent. 'his gentleman was not prejudiced. He went to Havana believing in the existence of a strong annexation sen timent and was disappointed because he could not find it.1 Robbed the Grave. A startling incident, of which Mr. John Oliver of Philadelphia. was the subject, is narratted by him as follows: "I was in a most dreadful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain continually in back and sides, no ap petite-gradually growing weaker day by day. Three physicians had given me up. Fortunately, a friend advised trying Elec tric Bitters; and to my great joy and sur prise, the first bottle made a decided im provement. I continued their use for three weeks, and am now a well man. I know they saved my life, and robbed the grave of another victim." No one should fail to try them. Only 50 ets per bottle at Rt. _B. Lorea's Drug Store. 5 stages of Water.
