For the past few months we have made efforts to induce the trustees to give the school chil dren the opportunity of seeing the great educational show-The South Carolina Inter-State and West Indian Exposition now about to close in Charleston: in this endeavor we met with an opposition not at all creditable to those engaged in their work of obstruction, for to gratify a personal spleen, the children were the actual victims, but we are glad that the influence of the opposition did not extend to a majority of the trustees. Some who did not make arrangements for their children were prevent ed by a lack of means, but there were others that exerted them selves, because they realized the great advantage the exposition afforded. On Tuesday of last week the children of the Pine -Grove school together with a tiumber of friends and the editor of THE TIMES as their guest went down, they were met at the depot by Hon. George S. Legare who supplied them with tickets of admission to the exposition grounds, and after seeing to se curing quarters THE TIMES edi tor had to leave the city to re turn home. The Pine Grove crowd enjoyed the stay in the city, they not only visited the exposition but they took in Sul livan's Island and the Isle of Palms and they returned home Thursday morning. feeling un der obligations to Capt. D. W. Alderman and Hon. George S. Legare for generous courtesies extended. On Wednesday the children of the Panola school together with friends went down. The writer by invitation met the party at Wilson's where their car which was tendered free by Captain Thomas Wilson, was attached to the regular train. Miss Geiger the teacher came down from Co lumbia, and it was indeed an af fecting scene to see two of the boys conducting their teacher from the train to the school car and the demonstrations of love from the children. Miss Geiger received an ovation from her scholars. As the guest of the school we were honored with a seat in the car and a more pleas ent party we have never, travel ed with. The children. many of whom had never been out of the sight of "mama" before, were made to feel at home and there was not the least thing to occur to mar their joy: on nearing the city at the sight of the exposi tion buildings illuminated the children went into ecstacys, and on reaching Charleston Dr. Al len Legare, met the party at the depot, took them to a car, paid their fares, and accompanied them to the Ashley House on Rutledge Ave., where they were nicely entertained. The next morning the writer called for the children and took a number of them out for a walk while Mr. Shields Holladay was eating his breakfast, and they had a long walk too, seeing many sights of interest, only to come back to find him still enjoying his break fast, but after some more delay, and while the crowd of happy young souls were getting ready. Hon. Geo. S. Legare came to the hotel and treated the party to a ride down to the battery. Never go to Charleston without seeing the battery. The elegait residences, the beautiful park, the grand old ocean, Fort Sum ter, Castle Pinckney, and a lot of other sights of an educational value was the delight of the Panolaites. After sauntering on the sea wall of the battery where ships and steamboats were seen for the first time by most of the party we took a car for the "Ivory City." Here again the generosity of Mr. Legare was exhibited, for every member of the party was presented with a Wagener Souvenir ticket. We reached the grounds at 10 o'clock and from the moment of our ar rival until 10 o'clock that night we were a steady going body of sight-seers. The children saw everything from the Cuban and. Porto Rican building at the be ginning to machinery hail at the end. every building was visited excepting the Woman's and that was missed because the jam was so great there we did not feel justified in trying ' to take the~ children through it. At thej Missouri exhibit, our party was given some apples to eat which was highly appreciated. Shields Holladay and Charlie Brown got1 cut off from the party once, they say it was an accident, but they were easily found as there v-as not another pair on the grounds like them. Miss Mary Plowden another one of the teachers joined us on the grounds much to the delight of the children and the rest of the party, and she staid with us throughout the' stay. Our time was so taken up with did not take time to eat, and when some of the party looked at themselves in the mirrors in a paint exhibit they got fright ened and imagined that starva tion had set in. Mr. Sam Grif tin happened to strike another glass and this made him look so stout that he wondered what had fattened him so quickly, and some of the ladies thought when they took in the stout irror that their tightening parapher nalia had broken loose and was exposing their shapes as they appear at home in mother hub bards. We had pleasure and protit combined, and the trus tees of this school have time and again expressed their gratifica tion at carrying the children down. The children had pointed out to them Captain Wagener, the biggest hearted man in the State, the man who is not only president of the exposition, but by his grit and perseverance has kept the thing a-going. We re gard Captain Wagener a public benefactor. the greatest honor any man can achieve. the children of Panola went to Charleston and saw the world under one fence: they saw all nations of people: products from all over the United States and the West Indies and South America: a government exhibit that the world cannot better, and last but not least, they saw fully tifty thousand people, heard most magnificent music, saw an earth ly paradise, the sunken gardens at night. It was after 10 o'clock when we boarded a packed car for the lodging place, tired, worn out, but happy and merry were they when we bade them good-night. The next morning by 5 o'clock the party was up and marched to the depot where. after some delay in getting the tickets "val idated," we boarded . the train for home. The train consis -ed of eleven coaches, ten of these were so packed that people could not find seats and they had to stand in the aisles. When we realized this condition we called upon the railroad officials and secured a car for our party which we filled very comfortably much to the envy of those ia the other coaches who had to stand and were not permitted to enter our car. On reaching Wilsons the Panola car was cut off and there Miss Geiger and ourself had to part company with our friends. The children made the welkin ring with their cheers and ex pressions of gratitude to us and we shall always look back to this association as one of the pleas antest in our career.

As a rule ie wants to defeat a man who will not be a pliant tool. Keep your eyes open and you will see certain men driving their poison ous daggers into the political body of a man whose official re cord they do not question, and whose private character they dare not attack. Why do these men want this man killedY What has he done that they should or ganize themselves into bands, hold secret conclaves,and employ all manner of agencies to carry out their hidden purposes? There should be some reason for it. Are these opponents scheming t get control of our county af fairs so that it will re-open the county-paper shaving business? Is it because the man they wish to defeat has managed the affairs of the county so that the specu lators have lost their fat pick igs. The State Convention did rnot go to the extremes that was an ticipated by a great many, and from the reported proceedings everything went along smoothly. The convention was made up lar gely of candidates and aspirants. Take it all in all, it was an un contentious body. We doubt the wisdom of having two sets of canvasser-s going through the State, but it is an untried ex periment and we will have to wait and see whether it will be beneficial. In our opinion the people are growing indifferent about these meetings because there are so many. The convention has made a few changes in the constitution and the rules, and all candidates for office will have to pledge themselves to stand squarely upon the platform adopted. So far as this newspaper 1s con cerned, it was pledged to sup port the action of the convention and it will do it. We contend that no man has a right to pair ticipate in the pr-imary who re fses to do otherwise, and as there are no special issues in the coming campaign the matter of selecting candidates resolves it self into a selection of men. We have no favorites among the p-esent announced cardidates for State offices, and the proba bilitv is we shall have none until we hlave heard them on the hust ins. We shall select from among the number what we con sider the best material having an ee single to fitness and merit. m Tlhe Kind You Have Always Boughit m Si n tyn . e Senator TiUman's Sensational Reply. EdiLor The Manning Times: From accounts that are going the rounds in some of the newspapers it. appears that Senator Tillman has again ereated a ilutter among some people in some parts of the country, hv his sens ational reply recently in the 'nited States Senate. to Republican United States Senator McComas from .lMaryland. In the continued discussed question in regard to the Philippines. McComas like the most of the other greedy ana avaricious Republicans, put in his mite in an effort to minimise, and to justify the cruel and inhumane treatment that the American army has been. and still are inflicting on a weak, simple and basely betrayed people by the secret connivance and approval of the gigantic Republican party, a party gigantic ouly in devilment. rascality and wrong do ing generally. and a party that in the past, delighted so much in clai ing for themselves to be a party of hu manity, friends of the down trodden and the oppressed unto the uttermost parts of the earth and to be a party of "great moral ideas." We have read Senator Tillman's *Sensational renlv" to Senator Mc Comas. and in doing so, we have found nothing in the reply to justify the crea tion of any unusual flutter among any part of this country, or to create a flut ter among any of the people of any part of the country. Senator Tillman's charge to Mc Comas, that the Republicans had been for sometime, and was still shutting off the light in regard to the cruelties as continually practiced by the American soldiers on the people of the Philip pines,-and that too by military authori ty, secretly approved of by many Re ublicans will be pretty strongly sus tained. if people will take it upon them selves to read and to note the revela tions drawn out by the Congressional committee of investigation, from sol diers as witnesses, and who have serv ed as soldiers in this cruel and unholy war. What Senator Tillman said in regard to the reconstruction period in this State, and its devilish and humiliating operations, is all true, and many of the people are still living that can testify to the truth as Senator Tillman has told it, as also the truth and the dread of horror that hangs over the house hold of every white man in South Caro lina, and it may be safely added, every house-hold in this whole Southland. Senator Tillman's remarks in regard to the Confederate soldiers adopting a mode of guerrilla warfare in the late war for Southern Independence, had they any idea that the lying and hypo critical North was goihg to try and force negro social equality on them and theirs, need not be considered so bioodcurdling. for tactics of this kind was resorted to by the forefathers of the Confederate soldiers in the war for American Independence with England from 1775 till 1783. Principally by the tactics of guerrilla warfare was not only the independence of South Carolina secured, but in a large measure the independence of the whole thirteen colonies as well. Senator Tillman was right again when he said, "as Confederates we cannot think it right to go into the Philippines and desolate the islands with tire and sword." No, no Confederate soldier that still remains true to principles, can for one moment exult over and condone the cruel and inhumane treatment of the Philippine people by the soldiers who are disgracing the uniform of the gov ernment founded by the just and pat riotic Washington. The Philippines are fighting for the same principle that the Confederate soldiers fought for, and of course no true Confederate sol dier can or will blame the Filipinos for doing now what the Confederates did forty years ago. The Confederate soldiers that is still living and their decendants is as true today to the old flag and will fight as hard in defence of its rigthts and honor Ias any Republican yankee that is eter nally'prating about the honor of the flag and the necessity of..rascally ex pansion. During Senator Tillman's "sensa tional reply." it has been reported that many of the Democratic members left the Chamber and left him in the hands of the Republicans. This withdrawing on the part of weak-kneeed Democrats did not in the least deter or intimidate the invincible Tillman, for he continued to strike straight from the shoulder. and to pour without stint his hot shot into the Republican camp. If the withdrawal of the most of the Democrats was intended as a rebuke for Senator Tillman, they' have made a mistake, for the rebuke with right minded people of the South don't re buke in the least. We are quite sure that the people of South Carolina at least that has any patriotism about their make-up and who has at heart the preservation of the civilization of South Carolina. will not condescend to think that the with drawal from the Senate Chamber of the Democrats during Senator "-Till man's sensational reply" as a rebuke, but will on the contrary endorse every word uttered recently in the United States Senate Chamber by Senator Tilman and known as Senator Till man's - sensational reply."

Loryea SENATOR TILLMAN. It is Claimed That He is a Reproach to the Democratic Party-Democratic Press Comments. Sometime ago The American ex pressed its opinion of Senator Tillman in language which called forth indig nant protests from some of the long primer brethern who feel that Benja min is a gentleman and a statesman. It would be easy to prove. if proof were necessary, that he is neither. That he is a reproach to the Democratic party is a generally recognized fact. Demo cratic Senators showed their estimate of him when they left the Sen ate chamber when he arose to speak, and then returned, almost in a body after he had finished. It was a cutting rebuke which would have humiliated i any man of decent sensibilities, but if Tillman felt the humiliation he did not show it. The incident has been the subject of wide comment. One Democratic Sen ator is quoted as saying to a Republican Senator: "On your honor as a Senator and a gentleman, I want you to tell me how much you paid Tillman to make that speech'." This was said in jest, but it indicated the estimate which Democrats put on the speech, which disgusted Democrats and delighted Republicans. The speech as it appears in The Record is Tillmanesque to the last degree. Leading Republican pa pers, realizing its value as a Republi can campaign document, have taken pains to print it in full. It was drawn from Tillman by a speech of Senator .McComas of Maryland, and when he arose to speak the Democrats knowing he would make a fool of himself and in jure their cause sought to show their disapproval and repudiation of it by rising and retiring, with one or two exceptions. Tillman discussed him self, South Carolina, the South, the negro and the Philippines, with his usual coarseness and bravado. Demo cratic Senators had been denouncing the cruel treatment of Filipinos, and the employment of the water cure. Tillman said: "We have not had any water cures in the South on the ne groes, but one Senator said the other day something about the sand cure. I say, from my knowledge of the situa tion, that when we get readly to put a negro's head in the sand we put his body there, too.", This amused the Republicans, while it angered the Democrats. who felt that it took the salt from the tears shed over the treat ment of the poor Filipino, who is shoot ing at the American flag.--Nashville American. The Baltimore Sun, a straight-laced Democratic paper, says of Tillman's performance: "No sooner do the Democrats prepare a broth than Mr. Tillman does his level best to spoil it. In this respect he is. simply incorrigible-the enfant terri ble of the Senate. Now, Mr. Tillman is at it again, playing those old tricks which drive his Democratic colleagues to despair. On Wednesday he was baited and badgered by a Republican Senator. Instead of listening in silence when the tattered old 'bloody shirt' was waived in his face he fell at once into the trap. He answered the accu sations and taunts of his tormentor with a speech at least 20 years behind the times-a speech which was neither wise, pertinent nor politic. Mr. Till man is old enough to know better. He has been in the Senate long enough to learn the elementary principle of the game of politics, namely, never do what your opponents want you to do. Un fortunately, the South Carolina Sena tor is too'obliging when his political foes want campaign material. He is a big-hearted, generous statesman, who cannot bear to see his opponents suffer. So on Wednesday he opened the maga zines of his oratory and gave his ene mies a plentiful supply of ammunition for use in those benighted regions where sectional feeling still exists. Mr. Tillman's Democratic colleagues in the Senate expressed their disgust at his reckless generosity by leaving the Senate chamber in a body when he be gan to dispense his gifts. They inten ded to administer a rebuke to him which would make him writhe. At last accounts Mr. Tillman was not writhing. He is still in the oratorical ring, pre pared at a moment's notice to fill the Republican campaign book of 1902 with the most lurid material. The political foes in the Senate of the South Caro lina Senator ought to have the most kindly feeling for him. He plays their game to perfection. It will be a sad day for them when he retires to the shades of private life." Cures Rheumatism and Catarrh After All Else Fails-Costs lothing to Try.
