C. Galluchat, Esq.. from Senator B. R. Tillman, which announces his intention of com ing to Manning to speak Friday April 25th. the day before the clubs are to elect delegates to the county convention. The fol lowing is the telegram: "Washington, D. C., April 12th, 1902. Hon. M. C. Galluchat, -Manning, S. C. Please announce through the Clar endon papers I will speak at \Ianning Friday April 25 at 11 o'clock. B. R TILLMAN. It will be remembered that petitions were circulated in sev eral parts of the c->unty inviting the Senator to come here to speak as he had in a letter prof fered to do in connection with editorials' which appeared in these columns. Now that he has fixed the date as his tele gram to Mr. Galluchat shows, we hope the people who come will do so prepared to judge of what he says impartially. Sena tor Tillman has a way of catch ing the crowds and whirling them into a pitch of excitement. He knows just what to say to bring about applause, and he is a master in the art of distracting attention from himself. In the days of 1890, excitement ran high and the people were in no mood to listen to argument and reason, but such ought not to be the case now. We are an intelligent people, capable of de ciding an issue upon its merits, and it is due to ourselves that we give attention to the speech of Senator Tillman, in which we presume he will endeaver to ex plain the various statements, casting a shadow upon his char acter. We hope that the people of Clarendon county will conduct themselves on that day as is their custom on public occasions, and thereby-show to the outside world that for the gratification of politicians they will not be blinded to reason. Senator Tillman's coming here the day before the Democratic clubs are to elect delegates to the County convention is not without significance, and does not require a very keen sighted man to see through the scheme. The editor of THE TIMES is a member of the State Democratic Executive Committee, and he has shown a disposition to act on that committee as his judgment dictated; everything went along smoothly until the attempt was made to convert the committee into a machine of oppression, that he protested in spite of the majority made him marked for defeat by the head of the ma chine. Therefore it is our opin ion, that Senator Tillman's com ing here to speak the day before the assembling of the clubs, is, ostensibly to refute the charges which have been made against him, but really to dictate the make-up of the county conven tion. If he simply wanted to show that the charges made against him were groundless we had offered him the use of these coluns, and the offer remains open. He knows, we will not attempt anything like a joint de bate with him, and he dares not accept our proposition to answer the charges-in cold print, so the people could quietly read what he has to say and what we have to say, and then judge whether or not he has been unjustly charged. In order that there may be no misunderstanding, we repeat our offer to publish any article he chooses to write to any or all of our editorials, and we will in the same issue of the paper reply so that there will be no advantage taken of him. But if the politi cians who are on an anxious perch with their mouths open waiting for Tillman's coming to drop a political worm, are ex pecting us to get into a wordy scrap for their entertainment and profit, they might as well come down and do their own scratch ing for it matters not what the effect of Tillman's swooping down upon us will be, there is one thing certain, it will take something else besides screech ing to gratify the political appe tites of certain hungry politicians who are craving for plums that Tillman might shake out of the political tree. Tillman telegraphs Mr. Gallu chat that he will be here April 25th, and will speak at 11 o'clock, we hope our friends will turn out. that he will be given such a hearing as becomes an intelli gent people to a man who occu pies a high place in the councils of the Nation, and we will gaur antee to show to every unpreju diced man, that the editorials re lating to Tillman were based up on strong circumstantial evi dence, his own a.dmissions, and written evidence precisely as we claimed, and unless he can extri cate himself by proof, he will re main under suspicion; to say that some of the charges are old he by proof show that the evi dence furnished us is false we will be happy to make acknowl edgement of the same. We have not kept secret the evidence fur nished us, we showed it to sev eral and frankly answered the questions concerning it, from a person who thought he was shrewdly pumping us, so that he could post his patron saint. In one of our articles we offered to publish this evidence if the Senator desired it, in fact, we are not inspired by malice, our sole object is to bring the matter to head: we want the charges of corruption explained and refut ed if they can be. If Senator Tillman successfully refutes them, all is well, and he will be more strongly entrenched in the hearts of the people, but should he not, he should be made. to "go way back and sit down." PRESIDENT'S DAY. There never-has been in this generation such an inspiring scene as greeted President Roos evelt in Charleston. Everybody from the aged to the prattling child seemed to rejoice that the Nation's Chief Executive was in the city. At the auditorium when he rose to speak, the tre mendeous audience composed of elegantly dressed women, and well dressed men rose and such a demonstration was never be fore seen anywhere; that the President was delighted could be seen in his very strong face. His speech was the utterance of a broad man, and notwithstand ing the fact he did not belong to the same political party, it was notable that his political senti ments were heartily applauded by Democrats. The President's speech in iany of its parts would have served well as a mes sage to Congress. especially the parts relating to Cuba. and the trusts. It was our pleasure to be near enough to hear every word the President uttered, and we have no hesitency in saying that it was a speech which should be preserved, that it should be read in every household and every school room, for in it there is much food for thought. Charleston did herself proud on this her greatest of occasions, and we know that President and Mrs. Roosevelt were delighted with their visit because they told us so. Mrs. Roosevelt is a most charming woman, one who, by her manner immediately cap tivates those brought into her presence. The President is a jolly good fellow and we hope his visit to Charleston will give him a better understanding of our people. President Roose velt was so charmed with the ex position and the people, that on his way back to Washington in his speeches to the crowds that greeted him at all of the stations he urged the people to visit the great exposition.

A Valuable Medicine for Coughs and Colds in Children. - I have not the slightest hesitancy in recom mending Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to all who are suffering from coughs or colds."~ says Chas. M. Cramer. Esq., a well known watch maker of Colombo. Ccylon. -It has been some two years since the city dispensary first called my attention to this valuable medicine and I have repeatedly used it and it has always been beneficial. It has cured me quickly of all chest colds- It is especially effective for children and seldom takes more than one bottle to cure them of hoarseness. I have persuaded many to try this valuable medicine, and they are all as well pleased as myself over the results." For sale by The R. B. Loryea Drug Storc. Isaac M. Lor yea. Prop. The past week was the great est since the exposition opened. North Carolina was there for tile week, and Governor C. B. Av-' cock with his handsome staff officers and their ladies were the recipients of much social atten tion. They stopped at the Argyle Hotel, the Governor of North Carolina in one room and the, Governor of South Carolina in the adjoining room. Manager Wilson had placed in the hallway between the two rooms a magm ficient hand painted china punch bowl with a silver ladle in it:; every time we passed this beauti ful receptacle it was empty, whether from frequent visits of the Governors to each other, or from the many friends who call ~edto pay their respects- Gov ernor Aycock made a grand im pression with his speech on Pres ident's Day, by his magnificent oratory. The North Carolina peo ple were a fine and handsome lot and they had a huge timne in Charleston. Neglect Means Danger. Do't neglect biliousnes andl consti pation.

Opposes New Measure for Exclusion of Mon golians-Would Injure Our Trade. Washington, April 14.-SpecAal. Senator lMcLaurin of South Carolina, addressed the Senate this afternoon in opposition to the pending bill for ex clusion of the Chinese. This was the firs. )speech of the Senator since his clash with his colleague. and on this and on this account as well as because of his position on the measure particu lar attention was given to his argument. MNr. 3McLaurin declared that "the bill as it is presented for passage is faulty in conception, faulty in execution. faul ty in deduction. faulty in logie, faulty in its paemises and its conclusions." He declared that the law now in efeet "nourishes our trade with China" and therefore should be preserved, whereas the new measure would check and stuml. if not ruin it." Speaking for South Carolina specific ally, Senator \leLaurin said: "South Caroiina demands first of all that this country shall do its duty on a question of honor-that it shall maintain its in tegrity in the fulfillment of its treaty obligations, and, next, that this coun try shall so legislate as to secure fair pl'ay for all its sections and all its citi zens alike-for rich and poor, for the laborers on the Pacific coast and also for the laborers on the Atlantic coast, for the miners of California ard also for the mill workers of South Carolina. Aye, fair play. too. for the governments and respectable citizens of all foreign nations as well. including China. South Carolina does not want contract labor or coolv labor in this country, and would Lot tolerate it. Nobody wants it. It is out of the question-out of the calculation altogether. It will not be had under the present law or under the proposed law or under any other law, past, present or future. But fair play we ought to have and must have for all respectable labor.- for all respectable business men and enterprises, and for all respectable governments under the sun. "Now. is it fair play to the people of the South, just as they are beginning to prosper in manufacturing and com mercial enterprises, after long years of trouble and privation, to tear down and crush their new enterprises, on the as sumption that such a ruinous policy is necessary in order to keep out the Chi nese, when in point of fact it is not at all necessary and the Chinese are being kept out by the existing law? That is the plain business proposition at the basis of the whole question. "South Carolina is now the second cot ton manufacturing State in the Union. The development of its cotton mill in dustry has been without parallel in any other part of the United States. In 1890 there were 34 establishments in South Carolina devoted to this indus try, representing a capital of $11,141, 833, employing 8,071 wage earners, and turning out products valued at $9,800, '98. In 1900 the number of establish ments had increased to 80, the amount of capital to ;39.258,946, the number of wage earners to 30,201. and the value of products to $29,723,919. While for the whole of the United States the av erage increase for the decade of capital employed in cotton manufactures was 32 per cent., that of South Carolina was 252 per cent. While the average in crease in the number of wage earners was 31J per cent., that of South Caro lina was 274 per cent. While the aver age increase increase in the value of pro ducts was 26i per cent., that of South Carolina was 203 per cent. The manu facture of cotton goods is now the most important industry of South Carolina, since it gives employment to 62.7 per cent. of the wage earners employed in the State, and turns out 50.6 per cent. of the total value of the manufacturers produced in the State. The develop ment of this industry, which wvas tem porariy- arrested by the Chinese trou bles a year ago, has been vigorously re sumed, and bids fair to proceed at such a pace that South Carolina, which has already passed Rhode Island, will in the next ten years take the place of Massachusetts as the foremost cotton manufacturing State in the Union. "This brilliant prospect can be blighted-the prosperity of the South Ca.'lina mills and the gaining of a livelihood by an army of 60,000 workers can be interrupted-is only one way, and that is by a shutting down of the export demand for American cotton cloth. That demand amounted in the first two months of the present calen dar to more than $6,000.000, and it' is being maintained at a rate without ex ample in the commercial history of the country, so that for the current fiscal year our exports of manufactured cot tons will probably exceed in value 30,000,000, or fully $6,000,000 more than in 1900, the most prosperous of any of the preceeding years. Of this export demand 60 per cent is repre sented by our sales to China, and it is on the 'continuance and increase of these sales that the prosperity of the cotton industry, not only of South Caro lina, but of the whole United States. absolutely depends" Like Daisies Before the Scythe, Babv lives are destroyed in summer by cholera infantum.

News is rather scarce just now. but I will try to get in a few words edgeways this week and will try to give ou the'items from here in the future, so that the rea.1ers of THE TIMES will know that Paxville is still in -Clarendon counts and a progressive little village. The merchants seem to be doing a very good cash trade considering the hard times. The farmers around here have com menced planting cotton. It seems that they have turned their backs on the past and are trusting to the future with smiles for better crops and better prices.

Bmasma from the Northern Wood Supervisor Owens Replies to Hon. H. B. Rich ardson. E:iitwr The Manin Time': I notice in your paper of the 2nd in stant an article from my friend Maj. H . B. Richardson in which he seeks to give an explanation for the supposed feeling and desire of the people of Ful ton and Calvary townships to tack on to Sumter, and after assigning poor railroad facilities as the f!rst reason. Major Richardson then turns and says that another reason is because the highways in that section of the county "have been so neglected by those in authority over the chainzang as to moke travel by dirt road both irksome and ditficult.' I cannot think that the Major meant to make such a sweeping charge against those in authority over the chaingang :s is implied in the above quotation. It is hard for me to conceive how the people of those two townships should be -o put out with the neglect of the chaingang as to make them want to quit Clarendon and go into Sumter county. Those two townships were in existence many years before the chain gang was instituted, and this complaint about tacking on to Sumter is only re cent.. I cannot think this is the rea son. if any real reason exists, for their wanting to go to Sumter. The chain gang is an easy thing to pile excuses on. It has done and is doing some good work in the county, such work as will tell for years to come. and such work as is impossible to make the road hands do. It has been my purpose since I have been in office and had largely the control of the chaingang, to use it so as to benefit the people in every section as much as possible. The gang has been in both Calvary and Fulton townships in time past, although we did not have a large force while in Fulton and I was anxious to get them into another sec tion where their services were heeded more. There are still townships in the county in which the chaingang has never been. and it is my policy as much as possible to use it so as ibenefit the greatest number of people possible and to work the worst roads first. The roads in the two townships mentioned will compare favorably with those of any other townships, and if there are any absolutely impassable roads in the county at this time I do not know it. I approve of some of Major Richard son's suggestions, but one thing the people should learn, and tha; is, that the chaingang cannot be in,,.every sec tion of the county at the same time, nor can it do all of the work necessary upon the roads. The gang now has machin ery and improvements which we did not have two years ago, and we are doing more and better work. But this chaingang is a big thing and cannot be moved about rapidly. It must neces sarily travel slowly, and it is my pur pose to.give every section of the county some of its benefits, after which it will start around again, and thus treat every section fairly.
