President McKinley and his cabinet will take a junketing trip across the continent. The railroads will provide the dis tinguished party with palatial coaches, and they will also be entertained all along the line. Teddy will occupy the back plat form where he can get a shot at varmints. The indications get stronger every day that Aguinaldo's cap ture was the result of treachery to ,the Fillipinos by Aguinaldo selling out to our government. He is now reported to be pur chasing diamonds and other ex pensive jewelry, and that he will occupy a magnificent residence in the fashionable quarter of Manila. If this be true, then Funston's much heralded feat does not deserve the glory that has been accorded him. Minister Wu ing Fang, Chi nese minister to America, will deliver an address to the heathen members of the Manufacturer's club at Charlotte on the 18th, inst. This is the same China- 1 man who delivered an address in New York some time ago which created a furor among the clergy of all civilized creeds and denominations. The weazle-eyed Chinaman may be peculiar, and his ways may be dark, but Wu Ting Fang keeps our clergy, col lege professors, and diplomats guessing alle-samee. The war in the Transvaal does1 not seem to be hastening to an. end as rapidly as does our war in the Philippines. Englanid has no Funston, which may account for it. The latest reports from the hostile camp indicate that theBors intend tofight it out, and notwithstanding the suc cesses of the British recently, it is becoming more and more evi dent that England will have to completely crush the Boers be fore a general surrender is prob able. The little Dutchmen in South Mrica have surprised the world, by their dogged deternmi- I nation to make Kruger's proph esy come true-"if England con- f quers us, the cost to her, in blood, and treasure will amaze thet world." Representative Burrows threa tens to play havoc with ther Southern suffrage laws when Congress re-convenes, on account of the enactment of a law in Maryland which insures that State for the Democracy in thea future, but when out Republicana extremists examine into thec Maryland election law they finds that it resembles those in five or* six Northern States, and they cannot uproot the laws of Mary land, and other Southern States without tearing up Massachu setts and the others. The con dition the Republicans find them selves in, is- keeping back a lot of editorial thunder at least, be cause the papers representing that party are very quiet on the subject. It may be however, that Mr. Burrows k-nows of the existance of masked batteries,t which he will bring into play when Congress convenes. c Senator McLaurin has taken another tack to aid Charleston. He has succeeded in getting the government to consent for its ex hibit which is to be made at the Pan-American at Buffalo, to be sent to Charleston, and it now remains for Charleston to pro-1 vide a suitable building for this magnificent show. Notwithstand- I ing the fact that it is very de-i sirable to have the government'sc exhibit, and strenuous efforts were made by Senator Tillman and Congressman Latimner to se cure it, and they failed: because McLaurin his succeeded, some newspapers are u ng ra t eful enough to impugn his motives. t They are so blinded by ignorant prejudice that they will not give due credit, if that credit is de served of by one they oppose. Had Tillman done iust what I McLaurin has succeeded in do ing, this element would have thrown up their hats and made the welkin ring with their joyous approval, but McLaurin did it, - ad that makes it different. i - I onissloners n r Jury. In looking up the work of the recent :ourt we find among the papers filed by he grand jury a paper addressed to that body from the County Connis ;ioners relating to the county printing. D reads as follows: ro the Foreman and Members of the Grand Jury: Gentleman:-We, the Board of County Commissioners, desire to make a state ment t, your honorable body. Doubtless during the past two months you have read in one of the county pa pers, namely, The Farmer, articles and statements which were intended to cast aspersions upon our private characters and bring our official administration in the ofice of County Supervisor and County Commissioners into public: dis repute. You have doubtless read where ve have been charged with entering into political conspiracies for th e pur pose of misappropriating public funds. and of extravagance in office, especially in the matter of awarding the public printing. Now it is unpleasant for us. in the discharge of our duty in the >ffice above mentioned, endeavoring to lo so faithfully and for the best -inter sts of the people of the county, te have such gross and unfounded charges pub ished against us, and our official man agement of our office thus impugned. [n all of our actions as commissioners we have endeavored to work for the public welfare, and realize that we are always amenable to the people, through rou as their public guardians, whenever we violate the law. It is therefore to you that we desire to make some expla nations concerning the awarding of the public printing. At the first meeting of the Board after the appointment of the new mem bers every two years, usually held in Tanuary, several matters come up to be acted upon, among them the awarding >f the county printing. At the first regular meeting in January of this year the old printing contract had expired, and the matter had to be acted upon anew. Under the law providing for the payment of public printing according to the newspaper space occupied, the printing required by law to be done -by the various offices in the county, except the Sheriffs' and Probate Judges' print ing, which is usually paid for by indi viduals, would amount to anywhere rom three hundred and fifty to four hundred and fifty dollars in each year. rwo : ears ago the then existing Board )f County Commissioners, in order to obviate trouble of continually counting words and measuring space every time a notice of any kind was published by >ne of the county officers, made a con ract with Mr. Louis Appelt, proprietor >f THE MANNING TIMES, to do all of the county printing for the sum of two iundred and twenty five dollars per ear. The law did not then require :hat the quarterly report of the Super isor's office be published, as is now the rase. THE MANNING TIMES agreed to publish everything required by law to oe printed. This was done two years ago, when the county was in debt, and it was necessary to exercise the most rigid economy, the said price being fix ad by the then existing County Board. this was the contract which the Board 2as had with Mr. Appelt for the past :wo years, and that was the price which as been paid, notwithstanding the ontract was made at a time when there vas only one newspaper in the county mnd its proprietor could have refused o do the work except for the figures which the law would have allowed him o demand. These were the reasons which prompted the Board to make hat lumping contract two years ago. At the first regular meeting of the iew Board, held in January of this rear, the same matter of awarding pub ic printing came up. The Board had iot called for bids. They are not re juired to do so. A bid was presented, iowever, by E. J. Browne, on behalf of ['he Farmer, a paper published at Man ling, suggesting to the Board that they livide the printing between the two >apers for $112.50 each, and in case the Jommissioners did not adopt this sug~ restion, they award the printing to The armer for the sum of $150.00, it promi sing to do the work alone. Our Board ias never had a proposition by anybody o do the work whereby it would only ost the county $112.50, as has been >ublished in The Farmer, and that tatement is absolutely incorrect. In -egard to the first proposition by The ~armer we could not adopt it because re had no power to make THE MAN CING TIMES accept the work at those igures, and we were aware that it had ieen doing the work for the past two -ears, under a special contract, for less han the Board could have been re [ured to pay had they not made the ontract with its proprietor. En re ~ard to the second proposition, we did iot accept it for several reasons. First we felt that the Board h.ad al eady been getting the work done at a! ow rate. Next we considered THE 4ANNING TIMES, an established paper,j which has been doing about all of the ounty printing for a number of years: hat it was well equipped to do the rork, and that whenever the people ,re looking for an official advertisement 'f any kind they are and have been, .customed to finding it in the columns >f that paper, We also thought that he paper had been doing the printing atisfactorily, and as long as we were ~etting it at a reasonable price we ould see no reason for making a change mless we thought we would improve he service, and this we did not believe. n regard to The Manning Farmer we iad no satisfactory assurance that it ras a well established paper, circula ing among a large majority of the -eading public, as it is a well known act that it has been a hard matter for wo newspapers to subsist here, and ['he Farmer itself has changed hands everal times since it began publication omething more than a year ago. hould the printing have been awarded a that paper and it perchance should ~o the way that other papers here have ~one, the County Commissioners would hen have been at the mercy of THE iANNING TIMES to charge every- cent hat the law allowed, ~and that paper ould be excusable for so doing. We herefore regarded the severe criti isms upon us by The Farmer as being Lthing uncommon. but the same cry hat is usually heard by the people in very county from those newspapers rhich are striving for notoriety and ndeavoring to miagnify everything hey can which might be used in creat ng dissatisfaction among the public, or ighting an opposing newspaper. We jave had no desire to encourage local ights among newspapers, but upon that we considered good business prin iples we have endeavored to act for he best interest of the public, and we eel that this is what we have done. These, gentlemen of the Grand Jury, re some of the reasons for awarding he public printing as we have. There s nothing hidden in our office, or any f our transactions, and our office is pen for the public inspection. We ope that you, as members of the rand Jury, and thereby the public uardians, will not hesitate to make a. horough investigation of all such mat ers pertaining to our office or our pub ic acts as you may see proper. W e ave no fear in having the light of pub ic scrutiny turned on to our official ac ions. We do not care to bie constantl y naking explanations to all annonymous Lnd othier -writers who feel it their rivilege to be casting charges and in inuations, but we are always ready to nake a public explanation of our offi ial acts, through the proper source, hen our reputation as citizens or the >ublic good would seem to demand it.
