THE SUPPORTERS OF RAILROAD SUBSI DIES OPPOSE SHIP SUBSIDIES.-WHY? It is surprising to know how many good citizens are under a misapprehension about Senator McLaurin's position on the policy of subsidizing our merchant marine, and how they have been misled by the News and Couriei, Columbia State and other news papers that have taken iaposition against McLaurin, and who may be the employed advocates of the railroad subsidy crowd. There are two factions at work in Congress, one is endeavoring to get aid from the government for the building of American ships to carry our products to foreign ports in competition with the ships of foreign countries, who give their ships aid. The other. is and has been getting aid from the government to help certain railroads, Northern Pa cific,Southern and others. These railroads are making a desperate fight to prevent the building of American ships, because if these ships are built it will reduce the freight carriage of all Southern raised products, that are now being shipped across the conti nent before they are put into the the hole of a vessel bound for foreign ports. A bale of cotton shipped to China, instead of be ing loaded on a vessel at Char leston and taken direct to its place of destination, it is taken across the continent on the trains of the Northern Pacific and load ed on an English or German ves sel at San Francisco. Thus making the farmer pay this un necessa-y expense of railroad trackage when if we could put the cotton on the vessel at Char leston, the expense of putting it into a Chinese port would be ac tually-less than it takes now to get it to San Francisco. These railroads had a strong lobby at Washington and they subsidized many strong and in fluential newspapers to fight the ship subsidy bill. Senator Mc Laurin is not in favor of what is known as the Frye-Hanna bill that was discussed in the last Congress, because that bill was not sufficiently guarded by pro per business restrictions to pro tect the people's interests, and he so declared when discussing the resolutions of the Southern Cotton Spinners Association. He said then that he could not support that subsidy bill, but if modified with proper restrictions it would have his support, as he believed that the placing of American ships on our high seas would redound to the benefit of the Southern Cotton grower. Senator McLaurin because of his expressed intention to support a bill which will encourage build ing American - ships, has be come marked for defeat by the friends of that gang of railroad subsidy robbers who have had their bands into the public treas ury for years, and who have been supported in their raids on the treasury by every Democratic Representative from this State. Senator Tillman has voted to give subsidies to these same railroads, and now he is in the forefront in denouncing Mc Laurin for intimating that ship builders should have support also. The terrific fight that is being made against McLaurin by the Columbia State and the News and Courier formerly the bitterest of Tillman's opponents, and Tillman being lined up with them in the fray, looks mightily as if the railroad people had used a mighty persuasive argument to have proven that it was "damna ble robbery" to vote a subsidy to encourage the building of freight haulers on water, and "sublime statesmanship" to vote a subsidy for freight haulers on land. We will not pretend to charge that the News and Courier, State and Tillman have been bribed, but we have no hesitency in believ ing that something more than an honest difference of opinion was an influential factor in bringing about such a complete conversion of these two newspapers, that not so long ago were the vilest of slanderers, or they are now. Senator McLaurin has not had fair treatment from either of the two mentioned papers, they will print any and every contempti ble fling that is made at him, even when they k-now it is false, they will not give him due credit for what he does, and what he says is either ignored or distort ed, but notwithstanding all of this, they are beginning to real ize that McLaurin ~1s gaining ground every day, and that the aggregation of opponents they have been able to get out, will not be able to secure his defeat. Then there is an impression that McLaurin is endeavoring to organize a white Republican party in this State: this impres sion was created to play on the scare them with that old story the "nigger in the wood pile.' McLaurin has never had the least idea of organizing a white Republican party, and in every declaration on this subject he has said this plainly. Yet, his opponents continue to hold ur the tar baby and insist that he is trying to republicanize th is State. At Charlotte he plainly said that if he could not make his fight on Democratic lines he would not make it at all; at Greenville he said he wanted to make his tight in the primary and would abide it's decision. He has never intimated anything that could be construed intc leading us into the Republicar camp, but the politicians and certain newspapers, one of which was very friendly to the Re publican party in days gone by, and the- other was even worse, because it bolted and made coali tions with negroes to breab down white supremacy, would have the people believe that they are sentinels on the watch tower of Democracy and they can sniff treason from afar. Will the people trust these newspapers who a short time ago denounced Tillman as a thief, liar, anarchist, infidel and every approbious name that could be conceived of, and this the News and Courier and Columbia State certainly did, when they now see that what they said about the man then, must have been false, or they are attempting for some hidden purpose, to deceive the people now. What influence brought about this change? Had the injustice about to be done the great railroads on the Pacific anything to do with it? Or was it because these enemies of Tillman hope to destroy him by giving him their support? We have a reccollection of Till man saying on one occassion, that if ever the News and Couri er came to his support, the peo ple would then know that he had fallen from grace and it would be well for them to watch him. Was this a prophcy? DIRTY POLITICS. Since the death of E. A. Webs ter, who was the national com mitteeman for the Republican party in this State, there has been some speculation as to whc will be his successor. The news papers in this State that are re sorting to all manner of means to prejudice Senator McLaurin's re turn to the United States Senate have begun to connect his name with influencing the name of Webster's successor. Col. Johr G. Capers' name has been men tioned, and there is a strong liklihood of his appointment, but McLaurin has no voice in this matter, it is a matter entirely for the Republicans, and as Colonel Capers is a Republican and sc recognized ever since 1896 we dc not see why the opponents of McLaurin should connect him with his selection. Capers was appointed district Attorney as a Republican, and endorsed for the position by the most prominent of that party in the United States Senate, Mc Laurin and a number of other Democrats gave him their en dorsment also, because they pre ferred him to other Republicans; had their been any chance for a Democrat to have received this appointment, McLaurin and the other Democrats would not have endorsed such, but'the Republi can party is in power and the appointment was to go to one of that party, there was not a choice between a Republican and a Democrat, but between Republi cans only, therefore McLaurin gave his endorsment to Capers, because he is a Carolinian and all of his interests are identified with us. But in the selection of an executive committeeman Mc Laurin nor any other- Democrat will be consulted and the coup ling of McLaurin's name is a ruse to deceive the people into believing that McLaurin is or ganizing a white republican par. ty in this State, which they know~ is not true. When it comes to matters of holding offices in this State if McLaurin can get a Democrat appointed he will certaainly dc so, but if it must be a'Republican and he is consulted at all,then he will endeavor to advise the ap pointment of one who will not be obnoxious to the people and one in whom the people can have re spect. ___ -How's This?

We have gone to some trouble to ascer tain the bread prospect for next year and, all of the information we can gather indicates a condi tion of great scarcity all over the country. The cereal crop of Europe is very short, and the demand for American cereals will be great, therefore we may look to see fiour at almost prohi bitive prices, corn will also be very high, so much so, that many keen sighted business men who anticipate a large demand for this article, have commenced making contracts for future de livery paying today about 80 cents per bushel, with the ex pectation of making large profits next spring.

If there is man in your neighberhood who has in the past swapped his corn for a jug of liquor, go to him and urge him not to do so this year.

"Slab's" Ruminations. Editor The Manning Times: Mr. Editor, your comments on the cotton and tobacco market meets the hearty approval of all right thinking men, not only farmers, but all condi tions of men except certain merchants and tobacco workers men. Idon't know why it should be so, can't see any good reason for it, but ever since Noah come out of the Ark with Sham, Ham and Japath, yes, ever since the days of Adam, when he told Cain'and Able they was men now, aui must begin to scritch for themselves, the farmer has had to bear some burdens what other people ought to had helped to bear. Every man or set of men have got their loads to carry and among so many peo ple all a goin in the same direction, its so easy and so natural for some to get up and ride and make the balance pull the load, even horses is that way, and people ain't no exception. I can't see the reason or sense in a merchant, either doing or saying anything that would throw a feather's weight in the way of his old stand-by, his very back bone, the farmer. There is some kind of an arrangement between the mer chants of Manning and the cotton buy er there, to pull just a few cents and may be a few dollars more out of the farmer than he ought to. Will some body please step up and say what good or wherein comes the good of a pub lic cotton buyer at Manning, except to the merchant? We can't and don't blame the cotton buyer for buying as cheap as possible, but if the merchants of Manning aint standing in their own light to let the buyer pull the wool over their eyes, as he is doing, then you can have my old hat. Why dont the buyer go to a mar's wagon and buy his cotton like a man? Why does he wait until night or some other convenient time and buy from the merchant instead? In whose interest is he working, the farmer or the merchant? Maby some body can answer. I tell you this here middle man business won't do. The merchants are profiting some by it now but take care merchants you don't some of these days, regret what you are now doing, for the sake of a few dollars. The farmer is a long sufferin' critter' generally, but I tell you when you do get the dander of the wool hat brigade rightously aroused, they may not be as easy to manage as they might be. Wont one, or all the merchants in Manning please come out in the MAN NING TIMES and tell us one gallus fel lers, who is so hard to understand any thing, why it is they aint willing to give us farmers every cent our cotton is worth! We aint all fools! We know what you're a doin'! Sometime before long you're a goin' to hear again from, -JoHN SLAB.

Crossed Over the River. On Sept. 9, 1901, the Angel of death came to the home of Mr. and Mrs. B. D. Griffin and took little Eva, age 14 years, to himself. She was a bright and beautiful child and stayed just long enouo'h to show how sweet a flower in Paraise would bloom. It was sad -to fold those little hands upon her little breast that was cold in death and to know that we would see little Eva no more on earth. But we have the full assurance that we will meet her again in heaven and when I stood and looked at her little cold face, so composed and serene in death, I could not but feel thankful that the little sufferer was at rest. All was done for her relief that faithful hands, prompted by loving hearts could do. She was truly a heroic little sufferer, but she' never uttered a word of com plaint, w. s perfectly resigned to the will of the Lord. Just before she died, she called the family to her bed-side and bid them each good-bye and told them to meet her in heaven. Dearest Eva thou hast left us: Here thy loss we deeply feel. But 'tis God that hast bereft us: He can all our sorrows heal. Yet again we hope to meet thee: When the day of life is fled: Then in heaven with joy to greet thee, Where no farewell tear is shed.

When a few of the berries change from green to red, all of them are gath ered, because if they were allowed to ripen any longer they would be less pungent. To fit them for market they are dried, separated by rubbing with the hands and cleaned by winnowing. The black pepper of commerce consists of the berries thus prepared. The Right HandliUg of Books.
