BRY AN, For Vice-Presidem: ADLAI E. STEVENSON OF ILLINOIS. PRIVILEGED CHARACTERS. The Prohibitionists are assum ing "special privileges." They violate the constitution of the Democratic party by making fac tional nominations; their nomi nees are permitted to participate in the party primary. because they sign an oath that they are not the nominees of a faction, notwithstanding the notorious fact glaringly exists that these nominees are the creatures of a public convention, and an organ ization endowed with all of the paraphernalia of a political par ty, separate and distinct from Democratic organi head of the Demo -the executive com eclared its interpre constitution to be ctional nominations: ..ts are pledged to constitution. The ;ts however, brush . -equirements aside, ih shod over the because, the State .,euivcrauLe executive committee did not have the moral courage to make a positive declaration. This committee is composed of gentlemen. a number of whom are candidates for oflice, and they were afraid that if they had placed a positive construction on the constitution as they should have, some votes would have oeen lost to theia personally: such weak-kneed candidates will not even get the vote of the element they catered to fa sor no hecw and they should not, because a man who has not the moral courage to stand by his honest convictions does not deserve votes. The Prohibitionists are not content with presuming upon the weakness of the State Demo cratic committee with regard to factional nominations, "publicly or privately suggested," but they meetings provided by the commit tee, and they are also holding independent meetings. We un derstand that it is the purpose of the Prohibition party, to get up picnics and at these picnics the people are to furnish the ex pense of the eatables, while im ported speakers are to furnish the chin music. There is nothing in the con stitution of the party prohibiting these independent rieetings, but the fact of meetings being ar ranged by the county and State executive committees, carries with it the presumption, that any other political mieetings are ir regular, and calculated to create confusion. The disregard for the party constitution in one particular brings about a disre gard in other particulars, until eventually the constitution will not be worth the paper it is writ ten upon and, our primary sys tem will become a farce. Why have a primary within the par-ty, and permit nominating conven tions too? Why have a sched ule of meetings and permit inde pendent meetings? The importation of speakers is a new feature to be considered, by our people-they are not ac customed to such, and it smacks considerably of the missionary idea. In our opinion, the free and intelligent white men will not take kindly to the idea of having a strangers coming among them to teach them how they shall vote upon political issues, that was all right in r-ad ical days,when we were after the negroes. The main issue in South Car-olina politics at this time is: Whether the State shall continue its dispensaries for the sale of liquor, as it is doing now, or shall it, under the guise of -prohibition, continue to keep the dispensaries open to r-estrict the sale of liquor to medicinal, mechanical and sacramnental pur pensaries are to continue-the prohibition platform upon which Colonel Hoyt has been nominat ed as a candidate, demands "THAT AUTHORITY BE GIVEN BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY FOR THE STATE TO SELL ALCOHOLIC LIQUORS FOR ONLY MEDICINAL, 'MECHANICAL AND SACRAMENTAL PURPOSES. We quote the exact language of the prohibition platform, so that those who are 01)pOsed to the State selling liquor. Ca. see that the so-called Prohibition ists are not asking in their plat form that the State shall stop selling liquor, but onl the con trary, they ask in that platform that the State SHALL SELL L QUOR. Where is the prohibi tion? Where is the religious principle? Can a religious prin ciple be compromised? Men have suffered martyrdom for a relig ious principle. No, the Prohibi tion platform is not prohibition at all. The religious principle which is being prated about, finds no place upon the platform adopted by the prohibition party. An issue which is holy, and involves a religious principle, cannot be compromised. In our opinion this prohibition (f) platform is draped with sancity in order to deceive the piously in clined, and to give the politi cians an entre into the churches to work their political bunco name: that by assuming an air of holiness, it will bring to their aid nany preachers who only want an excuse to dabble into politics, and when they do en trap one of these kind of preach ers. it will take but little obser Svation to tind that this preacher becomes a very slick politician, and will resort to means that an ordinary politician would scorn. If there is a dark lantern meet ing any where to work up a pol itical conspiracy, an investiga tion will prove that this preacher politician is there, aiding and abetting, and in the thick est of the plot. He is used by the office-seeking politician, because he is a vote-getter, and because he can enter places where the ordinary politician cannot. The white men of South Caro lina are free and independent thinkers. and we believe they are as well informed on the issues of the day as any politician, wheth er he be a preacher or a layman; therefore, the platform adopted by the Prohibition p a r t y stands for itself, and all the speeches of imported speakers, or local politicians cannot ob scure the meaning. The white voter has made up his mind on the "liquor question," and when the time comes to cast his vote, he will vote as his best judgment dictates. The white voter has intelligence enough to distin guish between genuine prohibi tion and sham prohibition. He is able to decide whether or not . *aV ?o LVm,2 L revoiu tionize a system which is now beginning to work satisfactory, for an experiment which has failed wherever tried. He knows that to restrict the sale of liquor as demanded in the Prohibition platform, is an impossibility, and is calculated to make hypocrites and liars of men who use liquor. He knows that if the Prohibition party succeed, it will strike down a large portion of the govern ment's income, and will cause an increase in our taxes. The free and independent voter does not want his preacher to dabble in politics because he knows that it is not calculated to increase the influence of that preacher; such a voter will re sent the importation of strangers to teach people how they shall vote, and he will stand upon his God-given right to exercise his own judgment in public matters, regardless of his preacher or anybody else. If the Prohibition party want their principles promulgated, they have been permitted to put candidates into the field, provided they sign the pledge required by the constitution, and those can dates can make speeches as long as they can find people to listen, but when they undertake to in sult the intelligence of white men by enlisting the services of those who are not Candidates whether they be str-anger-s or not, it will be resented as it should be. Thee is more Catarrh in this section or the country than all other diseases put together and until the last few years was supposed to be curable. For a creat man'. years doctors pro nounced it a local disease. and prescribed 1ocal remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proveni eatarrh to be a constitutional ds ease. and therefore requires constitutional treat ment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.. Toledo. Ohio. is th: only constitutional cure on the market, It is takli internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoon ful. It acts directly on the blood and mutcou surfaces of the system.

Heathens are people who do not w-aste A WORD OF CAUTION. It is a known rule of this news paper to let every candidate for a county office take care of him self, but when it comes to can didates for the Legislature, Con gress or State offices, we are un der no promise to be neutral. We therefore desire to direct attention to one matter which we regard of vital importance to every voter in Clarendon county. In the selection of representa tives, the fact should not be 1st sight of, that there is no Sena tor to be voted for at this elec tion, that oticeor holds -over for two years more, and the voters should be careful in their selee tion of members of the Lower House, lest they send to Colum bia, representatives who will not work in harmony. To make it plain: Suppose at this election the people should elect one rep resentative who will work at cross purposes with the Senator, the work of the delegation would be blocked, and as far as the county is concerned, it would be better off without any represen tation at all. We hope the peo ple in selecting their representa tives will think of this seriously. It will be throwing away time to send to Columbia to make your laws, men who are at variance with each other. If a measure for the benefit of Clarendon's taxpayers starts in the lower House, and the Senator does not wish it to pass, all that he has to do, is to shelve it. or kill it outright, for when a matter af fecting a county is opposed by the Senator of that county, the measure will not be pressed by the other Senators. If a meas ure starts in the Senate, and gets over to the House, any onemem ber of the delegation can ask that the measure be "passed over" in order that he might look into it, and if the other members of the delegation insist on its being acted upon, all the ob structing member has to do, is, to claim that it is purely a "lo cal measure," and he has not sat isfied himself that it is a proper measure: the result is, the meas ure is pigeon-holed. Our readers will therefore un derstand the importance of elect ing men who will wor-k in hiar mony: a delegation in the legislature that does not work together cannot accomplish any thing for their people. The Senator of this county, has start ed on a policy to reduce taxation, and at the last session there was a reduction of one mill, now his object is not yet fully accom plished: because, it is his pur pose to reduce the tax levy two mills more by the time his term of office expires: to accomplish this result his colleagues must be men who will help him, and if the voters will select such, they will reap the benefit of a reduction of their taxes. After the present Senator's euhas expired the people can then afford to make a bran new deal if they see fit, but as long as conditions are as now, they would simply be committing stupid folly, to send any man to Columbia who is not friendly with, and is out of sympathy with the Senator. This is not intended as dictation, but an ap peal to common, practical, bus iness sense. THE PAST FORGIVEN. The exposure of Col. Hoyt's position on the liquor question by Rev. G. W. Gardner, one of the editors of the South Carolina Baptist, and which was repro duced in these columns, has stir red up a small-sized r-ow among the Baptist brethren. Rev-. W. W. Keys, in the defense of Col. Hoyt, assumes r-esponsibility for a high license editorial which appeared in the Baptist Courier, but Brother Gardner comes back at Brother Keys and asser-ts that he was not alluding to one edi torial, but a series of editorials, and he does not r-etract in the slightest, but on the contrary, he reiterates Col. Hoyt's position on the liquor question. In our editorial comment we alluded to Rev. J. W. Perry because his name appears as one of the edi tors of the South Carolina Bap tist, and because he is known to our readers. And now comes Brother- Perry-x with his v-oice raised in behalf of Col. Hoyt in the following card: A WORD OF ExPLANATION. Some days ago a friend sent me a clipping from THE MANNING~ TIMES containing an editorial, in which the editor- was sparring with the Columbia State about Col. Hofyt and his icandidacy for Governor. The gist of the article was that The State. to qjuote its own words, was " advocating Col. Hoyt's candidacy for- Governor because it thinks, and it mayv have the c-olonel's word for it. that (ol. Hoyt is willing to have a license systeml if he cannot get proibition." And the article goes on to say that Col. Hoyt has been an advo ate'of high license in the past, and quotes this paper to prove the state menCt, and mentions the fact that this sribe. wvho is well known to the people The South Carolina Baptist. The use of my name demands a word of explana tion, inasmuch as it is an indirect ap peal to my friends in Clarendon to ignore Col. Hoyt at the coming primary election. The article in this paper was written by Dr. Gardner, not by me. I have n'ever had any controversy with Col. Hoyt on the question of high license, or on any other phase of the liquor prob lem. Dr. Gardner has explained his reasons for so writing, as can be seen in the paper of June 20th. But whatever views Col. Hoyt may have held in the past. he now declares himself to he a good Prohibitionist. and as such. I shall give him my support. and liope my friends in Clarendon will do the (Si -n .T. W. PmnY. I llro. Perry does not dispute the fact that Col. Hoyt at one time advocated "high license," as al leged by Brother Gardner, he only says he did not write the article charging Brother Hoyt, and then goes on to say, "But whatever views Col. Hoyt iay have held in the past, he now declares himself to be a good Prohibitionist. and as such I shall give him my support." But Col. Hoyt, in his speech in Man ning, disputed Brother Gardner, editor of The South Carolina Baptist, and declared that he never had advocated license. Now which of these gentlemen is correct, Rev. G. V. Gardner, who asserts that Col. Hoyt did advocate license, or Rev. W. W. Keys, who assumes responsibil ity for one certain "license" edito rial, or Col. Hoyt, who is run ning as a candidate for an oflce? Somebody is wrong, sure. If Col. Hoyt is wrong, is he the "good Prohibitionist" he pro fesses to bei M'SWEENEY AND HOYT ARE NEWSPAPER MEN. We heard a strong supporter of Colonel Hoyt say, that the newspapers are supporting Gov ernor McSweeney, because he is a newspaper man. What is Col onel Hoyt? He is now, and has been for many years, the editor of the Greenville Mountaineer, and in that paper last December advocated a coalition between the License advocates and Pro hibitionists to repeal the dispen sary law. He and McSweeney have both been presidents of the State Press Association, and as far as the newspapers are con cerned both Hoyt and Mc Sweeney have equal claims. If McSweeney is getting the larg est support from the newspapers, it is because both Hoyt and Mc Sweeney are k-nown to the edi tors, and they believe that Mc Sweeney's administration de serves endorsement. Colonel Hoyt is personally popular with the newspaper pro fession, but his mer-mnaid Dis pensary-Prohibition platform is not regarded a good thing for South Carolina. If McSweeney and Hoyt's newspaper associates, mn e n , whose business it is to study public affairs, support Me Sweeney, it is a tirst class guid ance for the voters generally. We notice, the few newspapers which are supporting Colonel Hoyt, are those that have always fought the dispensary bitterly, and a least one of them ha~s in directly advocated the violation of the law. We know of no paper in South Carolina now supporting |Hoyt, that at any time supported the dispensary. The Columbia State and the Darlington News have always fought with disgusting bitter ness the dispensary and prohi bition, and both of these ultra papers are now supporting Hoyt hoping, if he is elected the license system will get back. The Prohibition convention which met in Chicago nominated John J. Woolly of Indiana for president, and Henry B. Metcale of Rhode Island for Vice Pres ident, and as their conven tion was about to adjourn the delegates sang "Blessed be the tie that binds." We wonder if our South Carolina Prohibi tionists echo the same sentiment and feel that to be consistent, they must vote for the National prohibition nominees? The reg ular Democrats in this State who are supporting candidates that are not the nominees of a faction, are supporting Bryan and Stevenson. If a man is a real, earnest Prohi bitionist, and is supporting that idea as a religious principle. to be consistent he must support prohibition wherever he finds it, whether in the nation or the State. No man can consistently be a State Prohibitionist and an advocate of liquor. Is BabyiThin this summer?

Editor The Manning Times: The annual State meeting of the Wo man's Board of Foreign Missions was held at Greenville. S. C., in Buncombe Street Methodist church, June 27 to July 1. The devotional exercises of the first evening's services were conducted by Ilev. Harman, pastor in eharge. Then; most kindly were the members and visitors welcomed within the beau tiful M'ountain City and picturesque homes of its cultured people. One hundred and twenty-five dele gates were in attendance. We missed; ver. much our recording secretary, Miss Belle Nlartin. who has gone to Europe and was prevented from attend i. 'S. Peter Stokes acted in her tad u amost graceful and acceptable mILnn,'r r. Tho Twentieth Centirv Fund was- thorou-glly discussed and a definite indierstanding gained by'all. It was gratifying to have two mis sionaries with us, 'Miss Gary from China and Mizs Glenn from Brazil. for mier homes in Georgia. They furnished us with most valuable information con eerning custoas, ran-rs. etc.. of the countries named. It was a pleasure to have Rev. Harmon present at almost every meeting. The ladies of the board and visitors are surely much indebted to the ladies of Buncombe Street church for many kindnesses shown them and for the ex tended hospitality. Greenville can boast of four hand some colleges which is an indication of intelligenee. (Miss) JESSIE CURTIS. During last May an infant child of our neixrh bor was suffering from cholera infaitum. The doctors had given up all hopes of recovery. I took a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic. Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy to the house. telling them I felt sure it would do good if used accord ing to directions. In two days time the child had fully recovered. The child is now vigorous and healthy. I have recommended this remedy frequently and have never knovn it to fail. ..lRs. CURTIs BAKER. Bcol:walter. Ohio. Sold biy the i. B.
