LEGISLATURE ADJOURNED.
The General Assembly of 1902,
after a session of forty days is
now a thing of the past and its
work becomes a part of the
State's history. We do not re
gret that the work is over for it
was the most unsatisfactory we
have ever attended, there was
more work and less accomplished
than at any previous session.
One reason for the drag was the
work of undoing and straighten
ing out of former legislation to
conform with the court decisions
of the constitution. I worked
very hard to make a uniform
seed cotton law, but could not
get such a one as would be satis
factory so I thought of the two
evils I would take the least, and1
permit the law relating to li
censes to remain as it is. Not
withstanding the bill came to me
very late in the session I suc
ceeded in pushing through a bill
to define the limits of the town
of Summerton, and to prohibit
the sale of liquor, it is now a
law, and since its passage I have
received a letter from a merchant
of that town informing me that
I misrepresented the sentiment
of Summerton, when I stated in
my speech on the bill that the
people of that town wanted such
legislation. I acted solely on a pe
tition signed by a large number
of the citizens and also upon let
ters, and then from my individ
ual knowledge of the property
owners I had no hesitency in de
ciding to help those people to
prevent the sale of liquor under
the eaves of the three churches
and the academy. Personally I
am for the dispensary as a means
of handling liquor, but as a Rep
resentative I regard it my duty
to carry out the wishes of the
people, and if a majority of the
white citizens of Clarendon were
to petition or vote to prevent the
sale of liquor I would regard it
as an instruction to me that I
would be compelled to obey. The
citizens of Summerton asked for
the bill and as their servant I
gave them what they wanted, I
had no personal interest in the
matter, and if I have prevented
some fellow from getting a job
as dispenser at Summerton I am
not sorry. I do not believe the
letter I received voices the true
sentiment of the majority of free
hold voters of the town of Sum
merton, and I do hope that some
one will take a sufficient interest
in the matter t: ascertain
On a largely signed petition*
from Douglas township I intro
duced a bill, which was enacted
into law, making it a punishable
offense for persons to tear down
the pasture fence in Douglas
township. This was another
matter that I had no interest in,
but it was so important to those
interested that they petitioned,
for a law.'
I also introduced a bill to
am'end an Act entitled "An Act
relating to the powers of certain
corporations" which was referred
to the committee on corporations,
composed principally of lawyers,
and they recommended its pas
sage. I succeeded in getting a
majority vote in the Senate, and
had no reason to think thereI
would be any opposition in the
House. but when the bill camel
up to be passed to a third read
ing, it was late in the session,
and the members were clamoring
to clear off the Calendar, each
man trying to forge forward the
measures he was especially in
terested in and caring nothing~
for the other measures; in this
condition of things Mr. Galluchat
made opposition to the bill, and
he is reported to have said that
it was a political move to pre
vent the people from having the
right to vote upon themselves
bonds for improvements. and the
other members of the delegation
not correcting the statement the
enacting words of the bill were
stricken out. I regret exceed
ingly that Mr. Galluchat made
such a statement, because it
shows that he did not read the
provisions of the bill, as the ob
ject of the bill is the opposite of
his statement. Had I dreamed
that he was going to oppose the
measure, I should have posted a
number of my friends in the
House and then the measure
would have gotten before the
body on its merits. It is well to
state the object of the bill. There
is a general law relating to in
corporations, which gives a town
council the right to levy a tax as
high as ten mills upon the real
and personal property. Law
yers differ as to whether a town
comes under the general Act
without first submiting tile ques
tion of surrendering its charter
to the qualified elector-s. Our
own council is advised that we
are now under the general cor
poration Act. I favor all of the
powers in the Act ex-ep~t the
taxing power. and if my bill
had become a law, the council
before levying a tax over two
mills would first have to submit:
the question shall the tax be
raised'y The amount of raise and
the pummome So it (-alnb~ heen
hat instead of being a political
nove to prevent the people from
axing themselves for bonds for
mprovements, it is a movement
o protect the people from ex
essive taxation and to give theim
L voice in the expenditure of
heir taxes. I think it is unfor
unate the bill was killed after
soming so near passing.
But in order that our readers
:nay know for themselves we
aerewith publish the Bill.

OUR SENATORS FIGHT.
The country has received a
very deplorable shock by the
conduct of our Representatives mn
the Senate of the United States.
On last Saturday while Senator
Tillan was discussing the Phil
ippine question, he took occa
sion to give vent to his hatred of
Senator McLaurin, and indulged
in a lot insinuations reflecting
upon the integrity of McLaurin.
Senator Spooner taunted Tillman
by sayig, that "a man who im
peaches another in confidence is
a coward. If the Senator knows
of any man who has been im-.
proerly influenced, he should
naie him." Whereupon Tillman
named McLaurin. Senator Mc
Laurin was absent at the time.
but in a few minutes he came in
to the chamber. and rose to a
question of special privilege, and
denounced Tillman's statement
in reference to him as "a wilful,
malicious and deliberate lie."
Senator Tillman rose and struck
him, and McLaurin returned the
blow on Tillman's nose bringing
blood with it.
To say that it is unfortunate
that such an episode should have
happened in the greatest law
making tribunal, would hardly
give full expression to the feel
ing that exists. Tillman has
taken advantage of every op
portunity to discredit his col
league, but heretofore it has
been with insinuations: this time
however, he was taunted into
being specific, and as a result he
brought on South Carolina a
scene that should make every
Carolinian blush for shame. It
is a spectacle to be deplored to
see our Representatives so an
tagonistic to each other, but we
cannot see, under the circum
stances how McLaurin could
have acted other than he did.
He was charged in open Senate
with being bribed, andl he
promptly denounced the state
ment as a lie, and goes further
and has a resolution introduced
to have the charge investigated.
If Tillman can prove his charge
McLaurin should be expelled
from the Senate, and if it turns
out that Tillman deliberately,
and maliciously lied, then Till
should be expelled. We sincere
ly hope that the charge will be
thoroughly investigated without
fear or favor and let the brand
of condemnation be placed where
it justly belong.
There is no qjuestion of per
sonal preference in the matter.
A man who accepts a bribe
should not hold a seat in the
Senateand a man who mlalicious
l makes such ai chargze with no
foundation but hate, ought not
be allowed within the chamber.
The people of South Carolina
are hartily tired of the constant
quarrelling that has been going
on,and the sooner it comies to an
end the better will it be for the
at.s~ Demorcy a nrd Ronnbli
canisi does not come into this
episode, the whole thing sum
med up in a nut shell is whether
or not Tillman wilfully, ulali
ciously, and deliberately led
wv-hen he accussed MeLaurin of
re-civing a bribe to vote oa the
-atilication of the Paris treaty.
In our opfinion, should the Unit
ed Siates Senate expel our pres
ont Senators neither will be re
turned by the votes of the peo
ple.
Men who are chosen to repre
sent a State in the United States
Senate are supposed to be men

namted m0r the (otmftrv as
iribe-tak(-s and liars is tiie
deepest sort of llortifilcation.
Ever11 since tIl ratiticationo h
Paris treaty Tillin has resort
-d to all kinds of insinuations for
the purpose of discrediting Me
Laurii with the people. He has
left no stone unturned to bring
about 'VicLaurin's downfall, and
only when he was goaded with
tie chiarge of cowardice did he
put himself in a position
for McLaurin to defend him
self from the relentless at
tacks. McLaurin on the other
hand, has controlled himself
wonderfully, and not until the
last straw was placed upon him,
did he act. It is folly to say
that McLaurin should have wait
ed until the Senate adjourned
before he denounced Tillman's
state-ment. If McLaurin is guilt
less, he did right in stamping it
where the slander was uttered
regardless of consequences.

Zoo near us.
In our fair Southland. man has de

In fact let me mention in passing N. C.,

Clerk's Wise Suggestion.
"I have lately been much troubled
with dyspepsia. belching and sour
stomach," writes M. S. Mead. leading
pharmacist of Attlehoro, Mass. "I could
eat hardly anything without suffering
several hours. My clerk suggested I
try Kodol Dyspepsia Cure which I did
with most happy results. I have had no
more trouble and when one can go to
eating mince pie, cheese candy and
nuts after such a time, their digestion
must be pretty good. I endorse Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure heartily." You don't
have to diet. Eat all the good food you
want but don't overload the stomach.

Special to The Manning Times.
The crop year of 1902 has begun most
unpropitiously for the people of this
section. With few renters, very little
supplies, weakness on the part of lien
merchants, scarcity of labor and lack of
needed protection from the law, follow
ing the low prices commanded by farm
produce last fall, the farmers have ob
stacles to face never before known
hereabouts.
This is strictly an agricultural sec
tion, wholly dependent upon the pro
ducts of farming for maintenance: and
taking into consideration existing con
ditions, the "hard times" are particu
larly hard upon us. Usually the land
owner can hypothecate his rent liens
and thereby obtain money with which
to tide over the first three or four
months in the beginning of the year;
this year the acreage rented is at least
70 per cent off from the average. Farm
supplies. such as corn. oats, forige,
home-made meat, syrup, etc., are a.out
exhausted. Very poor crops that co to
make these supplies were made last
year. and on account of the sca:-city of
grain very little meat was cured in this
community.
The negroes have absolutely noth ing.
They are dependent upon a hand-to
mouth r.aethod of living by working
about two days in the week for the
white people (and no longer because
the latter have not the provisions for
them. though there is plenty of work
to do). The lien merchants are either
in poor circumstances or are afraid to
make necessary advances that farm
work can move on. They report poor
cllections and because of this they are
in no position to aid those to whom they
usually eater for their business.
Notwithstanding the condition of la
borers, yet there is great scarcity of
competent farm labor. The best plow
men and all-around good farm negroes
have moved out of the country or are
working at mills, and the only labor
left is the low-priced shiftless class
that is more of a menace to productive
work than their labor is worth. Yet
because this is the only plow hire possi
ble, it commands the usual wages of the
best men. There is as much difference
between the two classes of labor as
there is between a $150 mule and a $10
ox.
It is in order here to mention condi
tions of no little importance relative to
the lack of needed protection from the
law against the encroachments of the
criminal class. This part of the county
is infested by a class of criminals that
gives no little trouble. Theft., va
grancy, removal of property under
mortgage, assault, adulterous liymg,
etc.. are common in violation of the
peace and dignity of the law and de
cency of people that are good citizens.
A home cannot be left unprotected for
only a few hours but that some theft is
not' committed. The wonder is that
graver otfences are not attempted. The
criminal class has no respect for the
law because one of their number is
never apprehended. Warrant after
warrant is issued. but no arrests follow.
We are in a very helpless conditioti.
Labor that is hired by contract can vio
late agreement, yet no incarceration is
attempted. This element is impudent
and insolent in the extreme, and it is a
common dread among the better class
of people that bloodshed and lynching
may vet result. We pay our propor
tion o'f taxation, yet we feel abandoned
and outlawed. We appeal for protec
tion, but get no redress. if it ever be
necessary for the good people to take
the law in their owvn hands the criti
cism of the entire Stater will be turned
against us as being anything but law
abiding. On the other hand, despite
unfavorable circumstances, the better
class of citizens has gone to work in
earnest.
The fine, clearing weather has af
forded the farmers an opportunity to
pow, and on many fairms appearances
showv a desperation to say the least, if
ot a species of pioneer courage to
brine things right.
The severe weather killed many
acres of oats and late oats were planted
to make up the loss.

What Motherhood Means
To the woman in per
p fect health,free from any
form of female weaness
it means one of the most
perfect fo r ms o f happiness,
but to the sufferers from any
form of Womb Trouble it brings
additional burdens almost too
great to bear. There is, how
ever, no form of female weak
ness that G. F. P. (Gerstle's
Female Panacea) will not cure.
It gives strength, color, and full
rich blood.

Very Attractive I
Are the prices that we have made now on our
stock of Winter Goods. There is a good reason
for these prices. Not a flimsy one made up for
this occasion, but sound business judgment de
mands a quick CLEARANCE of what is left of
our Fall and Winter Goods.
We have too many of this and too few of that,
and the "too few" make the worst trouble. If
we could gauge the people's tastes and demands
there would be no need of clearance sales, but
that is far beyond the age of wireless telegraphy
and flying machines.
During this CLEARANCE SALE prices will
be reducd to actual cost, in some instances less.
This stock is made up of
Dress Goods, Silks,
Dimities, Comforts,
Blankets. C a p e s ,
Clothing and Shoes.
Remember the Famous
Hamilton-Brown Shoes
are the best when you want a pair.
Our big line of
Spring Goods
has already commenced to arrive and we will have
time during this sale to show you and quote
prices.
You will want some of our new Spring Per
cales and Madras-, 36 inches wide at 10c per yard.
You will need these now.
