As we understand it, the Manning Oil Mill and 11111uminatinlg Company wanted council to name a sum whieh they would be willing to appropriate for lighting purposes, and then the comipatny would take the matter under advisemuent, and if the figures offered by council were sufficient they would make a con tract to furnish electric lights. Council, however, regarded this as putting the cart before the horse, and determined to not consider the matter at all until the company could give them with accuracy, the number of iights. the kind-whether are or iLcandescent-and the actual cost.

Manning. THE STATE CAMPAIGN MEETING. Candidates Delighted With Their Reception. A Large Attendance. Clarendon did herself proud in the elegant manner of conducting the State campaign meeting- in 'Mannin last Wednesday. The speakers arrivea Tuesday evening from Sumter. and they were met at the depot by a committee with carriages. The hotels not being able to acconnnodate the entire party. several private families kindly respond ed to the call of the committee. and aided in the entertainment of the dis tinguished gentlemen. This arrange ment distributed the candidates so that all of them were comfortably quartered. and we desire in behalf of the commit tee to extend thanks and appreciation to those who so kindly opened their homes to the visitors. Wednesday morning the crowd gath ered from all parts of the county. and by time the speaking commenced there was over 600 people on the court house square. The merchants. with com mendable consideration closed their stores during the speaking. and County Chairman Davis. to accommodate the crowd. had the benches removed from the court room and held the meeting in open air. Throughout the entire seven hours of speaking nothing happened to mar the occasion: the day was extreme ly warm. and the dispensary being elosed. the flowing artesian well in front of the court house had a monopoly. and did a rushing business. Rev. P. B. Wells. pastor of the methodist church, opened the proceed ings with prayer, and the first speaker introduced was Governor M. B. Mc Sweeney. who although placed at the disadvantage of having no opportunmty to reply to the attacks to be made upon him by his opponents, acquitted him self w'ell. His speech had an earnest ring, and not made with that trained care. which characterized the speeches of his L-wyer opponents. He began by saing, that his first political speech was delivered in Manning four years ago when a candidate for Lieutenant Governor, and he told his hearers that it was impossible. in the time allowed him to give a full account of his stew ardship as he would like to do, so that they could judge him on his merits, he wold be followed by his opponents. some of whom would attempt to becloud Ihis administration by making flimsy charges, and assertions which were not borne out by the records. These flimsy charges were only intended to mislead and to catch votes. He had done his duty, and in the performance of it. he endeavored to be the governor of the whole people: that under his adminis tration impartiality and promptness was the rule. there were no sensations, no blood shed in the execution of law, and the wheels of the government were running smoothly with peace and good f. 'oling pervading the whole State. He eolained the "Black Report'' which through his efforts, has put the ,State in a position to recover from the United States goverment several hundred thousand dollars due it for war claims. This report had been lost, and none of his. predecessors had been able to locate it it w'as his good fortune 'o have done so by recommending a S>00 appropria tion, and with this small amount of money p)ut at his disposal, the State will recover its just dues amounting to sev eral hundred thousand dollars. He Ipaid a glowing tribute to the possibili ties wihich now exist for- young men to fore to the front, no matter howv hum ble their environments. all they needed was character and energy. He referred to his own lack of opportunities, and without the aid of a long line of distin guished ancestry. he has made a suc ess of his priivate affairs. and in his public life he has engrafted the same business principles. He was not a trained orator, but a plain business man. guided in every thing pertaining to the duties of his ottice. by sound bus iness principle. At other places his opponents charged that he hd subscribed to the county news ~apers. and tpaid for samne out of his contingent fund: this he explamned. The governor' contingent fund was to le used in his disecrection, and every overnor from Hagood down subscribed o the papers. and pimd for them in the sameii way. and whyy In order to keep in touch'wiith the public affairs of the countie he had to iread the county -apers. the grand jury reports, public notices. compliants against otficials and other matters which the governoi .hould be informed upon: it was a silly chare and should not have any effece upon fair- minded people. In referring to his pardoning power he evoked eonm sdeable applause when after explain in~ the famous Ponus bigamy ease nl with a show of fee~.ling lie said that notw ith.tainding~ the r.ecomme-ndatlion fo oardon s.igned by the solici to, county. otticers aind a large number o citizens' he refu-ed. and would con tinue to do s.o in all cas-es where a mar hd s.o v.illainously. outraged the inno e.ce of one of South Carolina's fair daughters. Th is matn Po ns had miar rid a young? -tdv in Barnwell cotinty, ad in a shoirt time after the marriage .it a dis.covered he had a wife and eeral children living in Florida. Hb. made a strong plea for the commnoi: schools of the country. and referred tc hi-. annual message t'o the general as -.emibly. how he urge the legislature t< gie more aid to~ this blranch of omii educational system: his opponents ad not dare attack him on the imuiortant select and pick out little pectty things which do not amount to anything. and perform m l isuchas havin thev dispensar 'y law enforced perfectlv iml 'hares:on. He said that he was a thorougi b-liever in the dispensarv. and ihat prohibi tion would not prohibi~:. aS ha_ heen demonstrated wherever bried. In the enforement of the dis ptunsary law he resorted to bu.-7sines methods, and the records would low that the law is being enforced now het ter than ever before, because the F-o. ple ale gradually giving up their op Position: that he reduced the consab ulary. fore heeau-e tTe Was no ne essiv fo -( manv. they were in (ne anothi'' wa.1 au'd vit h a redn.ed fre 11e go bet estul ZL't1an SaVtd to tlie people aolult .100 in salaries.

He denied with spirit that lie had any sympathy with the blind tigers as has been charged. and if the people of charleston were going to vote for him, it was because he was born in that city. and the business men there. have known him all of his life, repect him for his integrity and busi ness qualifications. He only asked fair play. and that he be given a chance to carry out his plans. It was his honest endeavor to make a non-partisan gov ernor. and h)e an instruimnnt in the building up of the best interests of the State. At the conclusion of the gov ernor's speech there was a considerable demonstation of approval, the audience seened to be impressed with his earn estness. ('ol. J. A. Hoyt. the nominee of the Prohibition conference. and who took the pledege required by the constitution of the Democratic party, that he was not. not' would he become. the candi date of any faction. either public or privately suggested. was next intro (uced. He started out by saying that he had been a business man longer than Governor MeSweeney. and he was an other who had never made a failure. He reviewed the history of the dispen sary law, and depicted some of the hor rors resulting from its enforcement, he said their was more rowdyism in bar rooms. because there were more bar rooms. He protested against the State making him a partner in the whiskey business. and that the State was com mitting a sin by polluting her hands in the liquor business. Prohibition he claimed was a success in Maine, and if elected governor he could make it a success here, the reason prohibition has failed where tried in this State is be cause the municipalities would not en force the law, and a Prohibition Gov ernor can do nothing without a prohi bition legislature. Colonel Hoyt de nied his being in coalition with advo cates of license and then said "in THE M1ANNING TIMES of last week was an editorial charging him with being in coalition with high license. That statement was untrue" (many cheers for THE M1ANNING TIMES and a few for Hoyt although the reporter who was sent out by the Columbia State, and which newspaper is advocating license but is supporting Colonel Hoyt, says "There were cheers for Hoyt, and some for THE M1ANNING TIMES.") Editor Appelt, who was standing in the audience, in a r'espectful manner asked to be permitted to itnterrupt the speaker,. and obtaining his consent, proceeded to ask if the editorial re ferred to by him. was not taken from "The South Carolina Baptist" word foi' word. "Colonel Hoyt admitted that it was,'' and stated, that THE TIMES had used used the name of Rev. J. W. Perry in connection with the editorial in thie "Baptist.'' Editor Appelt re plied, by asking Colonel Hoyt if it was not a fact that Rev. J. W. Perry's name appleared at the head of the editorial col umns of "The South ~Carolina Baptist" its one of the editors. To which the Colonel replied yes, but said that hle did not write the article. He then went on and said that he was not in fav'or of high license, and that the dis pensary was better than license. Edi tor Ap'pelt asked him if "The South C'arolina Baptist, a paper published by his own church denomination, did not charge him with being a license man. and that some of the stiffest high li cense contests it evet' had, was with Colonel Hoyt, and this is the same pa per which has Rev. J. W. Perry as one of its editors? He replied, Yes. Then said editor Appelt, the statement wvhich you so vehemently characterized as un true, is true as fat' as THE MANNING TIMES is concerned, but if untrue at all, The South Carolina Baptist your own denomina~tional church piaper stated that which was untrue ("cheer's for Appelt came from the crowd. Mr. EL.Wilkins yelled out "let Hoyt talk," which was responded to quickly by Mr. S. HI. Bradham, who said let Appelt talk." and the crowd cheered again for Appelt. and laughed at Mr. Wilkins. During the coliloquy between Colonel Hoyt and Editor Appelt. there was no dis:' pect exhibited or intended to wards either of the gentlemen. both understanding the proprieties between gentlemen, and each respected the others rights when a speaker alluded to a man in his audience. Colonel Hoyt compllimented his audience, and ex pressed his confidence in being able to enforce a prohibitory law, and if he was elected governor he would give his best efforts in that direction. He also said that if elected governor. he could enforce the dispeusar'y lawv better than it is now being enforced. He said all candidates alpprec2iated newsp)aper' sup por't, even the support of THE MAN NING T1.MES. He was applaudedl when he finished. G. Walt Whitman started out b~y trying to be funny, and not being able to' tickle tihe crowd he had a spatting match with some in the crowd who was diso)OsEd to guy hlim. He finally jumped on 'the State colleges. potunded the dis pnsary which he said he had helped to enact, told of his detective exper' il'nce last Sunday on the Isle of Palms, where he had "un down a bottle of beet' and dr'ank it, He was ini favor of a strict enforcement of tile dispensary law, and if elected governor he would make Charleston shut uip her blind tigers (some one suggested that he would shut them up if he had to go down there, and drink up theiir stock,) ('ol. Frank B. Garyv. who has a mag niticient pre'sence, and a handsome face came next. His sp)eech here was thle same that he has delivered at every meeting. ahuiost word for word, evi' dentlv priepared before leaving home. but it was wvell recited. and if he coni tinules to ilmpr'ove hle will by the time his campaign is over, "have sp)okenl his pieceL wvell."' Colonel Gary in a digni ied manner' discussed his position on the conunon 5(cho0ds, and that hec would not aid in tile pulling down of a sitngle brick from thle colleges. He was in favor of submitting to anl eh-etion the whiskey question, by letting the people volte onl ''Dispensary or Prohibition' by counmies. He claimed that the governor had no claim to election on the ground of custom. because pre eedents were against him. He said tat he went to the Tsle of Palms and was taken for en mTilian ani in coi sequence the blind tigcrs were afraid to open np. 1 said Governor de Sweenev ou-Lht to have Ihe blindtj tir afraid of hhini too. but he did not say that Mcsweeney was at the Il0 Of Palms at the Suame time11.

We nition this. because Colonel Gary in reciting this portion of his speech here. laid sptecial stre.s on the Gary's meriting so many% ollic's. We like Colonel Gary as a man and ad mire his dignitied and manly utterances. but when ie tries to convince people that the Gar.' s have not had enough public pap. that becomes another mat ter. We believe Colonel Gary to be one of the best of the name. and we further believe. were he to wait until some of his many kinsmen get out of office. he would some day be elected grovernor. He is a trained speaker. and while there is nothing of special im portance in his speech, and it seems he has only one, yet his manner of deliv erv is very attractive, and he won friends here. If he was contesting for a medal, Colonel Gary would without a doubt be awarded the prize as the best speech-maker. But fortunately for McSweeney. the people will take. and at upon the record already man, and not one which is promised in a speech. Colonel Gary did not advance a single idea to showv where he could perform the duties of governor better than the present incumbent. but lie spoke his sp)eech welle and was applauded. The last of the gubernatorial candi dates was Col. A. H. Patterson and he. too. made pretty much the same speech here lie has made at the other meet ings. His speech consists largely in jumping on Governor McSweeney for subscribing to the co-unty newspapers and paying for them out of his contin ent fund. He made a good anti-pro hibition argument. about the same as in his circular letter which has been sent broadcast throughout the State and published in the county papers un der the head of "Dispensary vs. Prohi bition." After making an incontro vertible argument against prohibition. He sailed into Colonel Hoyt and charged him with having advocated a coalition with the liquor element to defeat the dispensary. He read from the Green ville Mountaineer. ColoL2l Hoyt's own paper. an editorial written by Colonel Hoyt himself, where he endorsed and advocated the coalition between the liquor element and Prohibitionists in the Legislature to kill the dispensary. He dared Colonel Hoyt to deny it or to repudiate that editorial. He showed from the statistics that the prohibition law in Maine is a farce and that whis key is freely and openly sold in that Stte. Colonel Patterson said that he and the Governor put up at the Char leston hotel and there was a bar-room in it. running in full blast: that the Governor knew the thing was going on and was afraid to shut it up. Governor McSweeney from the crowd said: "Mr-. Patterson, if you will imake that charge in the shape of an affidavit I will place it in the hands of the Attor ney General at once." "Oh. yes," said Patterson, "the Gov ernor kiows the Charleston hotel has a bar-room, and yet he asks me to make an affidavit. What is he Governor for?" McSweeney replied: "Not to act as a detective or- constable.'' When Patterson was flaying Hoyt and McSweeney the crowd enjoyed the fun and encouraged Patterson with their cheers, and although he did not keep faith with the other speakers. speaking nearly double his time. the crowd yelled for him to go on. Patterson. aside fromi his little at tacks, made a first-rate speech. He certainly showed that pi'ohibit ion will not wor'k, and especially did lie show that the prohibition-dispensary advo cated by Hovt was a delusion and a snare, and tihat C7olonel Hoyt is pro fessing to advocate pi'ohibition as a re ligious princip~le. when the proof that cannot be denied. is. that he favors any thing to bireak up the dispensasy. even if he has to make a compact with the liquor men. FOR LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR. The candidates who spoke were Winkler, Sloan, Blease, Tillman (a nephew of the Senator) and Living sto. Only one candidate for Attorney CGen eneral was present. .1. H. Moore.C a magistrate of Charleston. He spioke his mnoney's worth. but made v'ery little impression. General Bellinger was de tained on business. was the cause of his not being here. STATE TREASURER. Captain Jennings spoke first, followed by Di-. Timmerman. These gentlemen seemed to be electioneering for each other. COMPTROLLER G;ENERAL. N. K. Brook-er jumped right on his opoent and charged him with not at tending to his business and as a result he has permitted shei'iffs and treasurers to fall behind in their settlements: that in (larendon ov-er $3.000) had stood on thc books from year to year. wvhen the law' r'equir'es the sheritf to turn the tax 'xcu.tions5 over within a limited time. Comptoller Derham., in reply. said that he was not in ofhiee a large p~art of that timie Brooker complains of. but that last y'ear all of the executions in the hands'of Clharendon's sheriff were turned ovei' and a settlement effected. He admitted the sheriff held these cxe cutions longei' than he should, but said he was trying to make the money out of the. Derhian seemied to be the favor The other specakers w~ere JT. J.
