MANN ING. S. C., SE;T., 3. 1 - PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY. Entered .. e pos:o,,. at M:nnr in ts See ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE. Fellow Citizens: On next Tues day between the hours of S o'clock in the morning and 4 o'clock in the afternoon you. as free white men, will be called upon to say by your vote., who shall represent you in the State Senate. I call upon .Vou to lay aside personal prjudice. obliga tions, and everything else, save the single determination to let auaiitication and merit gov ern you in selecting between Charles M. Davis and Louis Ap pelt. I realize that Mr. Davis, by reason of his extensive mercan tile interests in which he does a large lien business, might think that those to whom he makes ad vances should feel themselves under obligations to him and cast their votes for him, in fact, quite a number of men have told me this is their sole reason for vot ing for him: the vote he received in the section where the greater oortion of his advances have been made, is an indication that many so voted because they se cured credit from him. When a man is called upon to vote, it is not a proper exercise of the vot ing right to allow such things to influence him. A man who has the proper appreciation of his duty to his country, should be broad enough to exercise his right to vote, without fear or favor, and solely for the best in terests of his country. The same principle applies to the lawyer whose client is a can didate, or the lawyer who is seeking the candidate's business, and the broker, insurance agent, doctor, merchant or employee, lienor or what not, who votes for a man simply for the reason that he has been given financial sup port by the candidate, is not the way a true and loyal citizen should exercise the right of suffrage. My idea of of voting is, that it is the high est privilege a citizen has, and he should exercise it conscien tiously without regard to his personal feelings. I have on several occasions voted for men whom I disliked, but did so because I believed they were better qualified for the positions they were seeking. I have even voted for a man who I have rea son to believe is my personal enemy and who has used every effort in his power to injure me financially and politically, yet I voted for the man because I be lieved he would till the position to the interest of the people all voters should try and divest themselves of personal preju dices, and petty spites, and keep in mind that in giving away to prejudice,passion. spite or favor, you might bring about harmful results. I want the Democratic voters of Clarendon county to think well before casting their votes on next Tuesday, because it is their interest as well as my own, which is at stake. Four years ago, you sent me to the State Senate and in that body I en deavored to represent you with a sole ambition to make a reputa tion which I could hand down to my children as a proud heritage. I was no figure-head in that body as you know: my record is like an open. book to you, and every one of you were kept post ed each week, as to what was being done during the four ses sions I had the honor- to repre sent you. I have never heard where a single complaint from the people has been made against me as Senator, but on the con trary, the people have been ex pressing themselves in the most complimentary manner. At the campaign meetings, not a single charge was mnade against my integrity, notwithstanding I had three opponents, and the oppo sition was concentrated against me; if my opponents were not able to show,that I was a failure as your Senator, is not that fact strong evidence, that I was faith ful to the trust reposed in meY Are the brave people of Clarendon going to repudiate a man who has been tried and found to be true and loyal:' Are the farmers of Clarendon going to turn their backs upon a man who has stood by them with unswerving fidel ity? Let my olponents show one single instance where I have committed a questionable arct, either as a public servant or a Drivate citizen. Friends! there never would have been any opposition, had I played the role of a truckling politician: if I had said "atmen" to everything certain politicianis said, and did, "-Appelt' would still be the "honest, fearless friend of the farmer"hle was when he was supporting some men who are now out, and others who will get out just as soon as the people can get a whack at them: rather than be a tool for any man or set of men. I would pre fer going back to private life and stay there. If the people want a man to go to the State Senate. who is to be led about by a string in the hands of a pol itician with an axe to grind. 1 am not the man they are look ing for, because I am not so con stituted: but on the other hand. if they want a man to rep~resent themi and~who has the nerve and manhood to snap his fingers in the faces of the politicians, and Suor the peoplie s ilec ie4sisagamtsL lhe e'n tlL: ercmlents of the trusts, I co ?bilnationfls. Or associations, i hr )eingl ithe same-a to the people, then they a with safety vote for me. be cause mv record in the Senate and in my paper is too well kno1wn for me in this late day to change. People: this is one time when the right of suffrage should be exercised with care: stop) and think of what has been done in the present campiign: if you do 1 not know. ask sone one who does, and you will ind that for an ofico which barely pays x )enilSes 110,0 x'. without stint. and low trickiery have been used: fol low this up, and you will not find weeIhave o;Yered a man a copper for his vote or a drop of liquor either. Look and see the influencial workers a gainst me. what does it menn: I know of my own knowledge that men who are financially interested in oil mills are actively engaged in fighting me, some of them even leaving their business to go out to several of the camipaign meet ings: do you believe these men, would leave their business if it was only a case of personal pref erance? Oh no, I have opened the eyes of the people through 1 these columns to the danger 1 ahead of them. and because of this, every scheme that human ingenuity can devise, together with foul methods. is being brought into play to defeat me. I could have kept off this oppo sition, and gone back to the Senate unopposed, if I had been unfaithful to the people: if I had 1 shut my eyes to the manipula tions and lethargy of our tobacco < and cotton markets. and not 1 warned the people against the combination of corporate greed. but had permitted without expo sure the scheme and drowsiness to go on, Appelt would have.: been alright and no one could have been induced to oppose him. By standing for what I regard ed the people's interests, what 1 has been the result? Those I ex posed, organized a corpora- H tion, and by professing to be sincere Prohibitionists, induced 1 some to take stock who had no' enmity towards me, but were < religiously sincere in spending their money for a cause they wish to see triumph: the conse quence wasmy personal enemies, made so, because I would not be led by them, started a news paper in opposition to THE TIMES : and used every method that< hatred could devise to break < down my paper and dirive me out1 of the business, hoping to htave1 the field to themselves and be come the sentiment moulder for i Clarendon: but the people did < not give thtem that gratifying result- I thank God THE MAN NING TIEs has today, a larger subscription list titan at any time] in its history, and its advertis- ] ing patronage the public can see< for itself. I did not build up myv ] advertising or subscription pat-1 ronage by cutting rates, nor did1 cut rates by my competitorsi cause me a moment's worry. my advertising rates are at least 40 per cent higher than the corpora tion paper, and the business mtenj who are not in the stock company] willingly keep these columns well illed: the stockholders of the cor poration paper htave boycotted THE TIES, but I have managed to get three sqluare meals a day: without the patronage of my boycotters- I mention thtis to show the beginning of the fight against Appelt, and I appeal to the farmers of Clarendon whose1 friend I have always been,to sayx by their votes next Tuesday, that they will not lend themselves to strike down a friend to gratifyx personal and business spleen. My opponents are hard pressed1 wen they seek to fool voters by trying to put in circulation a dirty story that negroes are elc tioneering for me. I hav-e ito 1 doubt some few negroes about] this town whom I have donte - 1 -ors for, have expressedl thtem selves as "'wishting Mr. Appelt sccess in his race." I hav-e not the slighest doubt that sonte one or two who work around my. ofice occasionally, did say " want myCap'n to be elected, what isthere in that? I wvill -enture to say, the negroes whoI work about Mr. Davis' htouse or< are thrown somte crackers< oer his counter at his store,1 haxe expressed their wishtesi for -"Cap'n Charlie to be elec-1 ted." and the same mtight be said of Majoi Richardson, for "Marsa Henry" is much belovecd by his ) old servants. But for sonme low dowvn hired muan, who htas'nt the means to buy htis coffin were he to die, to go around the cournty ith breath stinking with wh is key telling people that " Appelt has put out negroes to electioneeri for htimn" is so contemptible, that 1 when it is repeated the man : should be gix-en to under-stand 1 that it is beliex-ed he is lying and paid to lie: for what white man 1 in Clarendont County is so pre- t judiced to believe me to be so lacking in sense as to hax-e a ne-~ 1 gro to electioneer for me. and I will saxy further if there are a ny 1 neroes who are actually elec tioneering. the white mtan who is so low as to permit it. is riotc it to be electioneered by a white man and should not offer to vote1 in the zimar. PeCople; if in any sectioni o! Clarentdon you hear a negro 'ielectioneerinig for1] Appelt" you can safely say thiej scoundrel is in the pay of soun wol arc oppose5d to me. 1e tight is a desperate one.and 1 am ot surprised at anything tha't I vii be done, even p~ersona! vio-) lence may come to me firom meon 1 who I beliex-e are tools.

What does thi nean? Mr. Dargan sits in hi >ice in Darlington, and gives it ;tructions what shall be pai .or seed by the mills in this a: ociation, and what shall b harged for meal, these are th upplies and the products foi c1 of cotton oil mills. then, w nd that Mr. Dargan who i general manager of the seve otton oil mills one of which i ;he mill which Mr. C. M. Davi s president of, has recently oi anized a little corporation a Summerton bought out the gir rv of Mr. S. R. Cole, and it i ow known as the Summerto innery Company,with T. S. R< ,an, R. K.

Wha loes Mr. Dargan want with innery in tl:.is county: Do th )eople believe he has taken hi oney from Darlington to ir est at Summerton for his health )r do they believe it is part an arcel of the scheme to get nonoply of the ginning, crus >ut the country ginner. and onc iriven out, the farmer is at th nercy of the trust, then they ca nake him dance as they fiddl( vheni they raise the price~farrne nust pay it. for he has no wher ilse to go. If the trust was not anxious t ret as many friends in the legih ature as possible, do you b< .ieve these men who have ni political aspirations and wh 1o not usually become activei politics, would be so deeply ii :rested in my opponents behal: 2nless they believed that hi noneyed interests are identici vith theirs? In other words the re in the same boat. Theni t not to your interest to vot or me whether you like in personally or not? Let me call your attention to natter that shows which way th traws blow, and points righ: quare to the place to indicate nan's financial leanings: severm ears ago while Mr. C. M. Davi suas a member of the lowe douse. there came up a bill t eparate the races on rail-roa :rains: this was to put a stop t :he crowding of offensive n< rroes into a car with our wive md daug~hters; the rail-roa :ompanies opposed the passag >f the bill because it would er :ail upon them additional ey ense to have a car for whit ?eople and a sep~arate car fc lgroes, these great corporm ions had their attorners an rofessional lobbyists in Colun ia. and wile one of the rai oad bills was pending, a ver andsome and attractive wom obbist from Washington wa :ere in the interest of th Pullmani Car Company: it was ardi tight and a number of th egislators who were putting u 1stiff fight to pass the bill. lin: ered up) after the pretty womia amne in contact with them: sh tither got them to vote agains :he bill or cease their ight fo t. In the recent campaig ouring, one of the candidate for the senate showed from th ecords (House Jour nal 1si age 409,)) that Mr.. C. M. Davi oted against the separate coaci >il. In other words lie voted i avor of making your wife an' aughter continue to ride in th ~ame coach and perhiaps seat wit. negro. IThis was shown o: eryV stulmp, not by meC but anc her.

APPEALING TO TILLMAN. r Frantic Efforts Being Made to Get ther Sena Str to Help the Weak Men, And He Declines to Respond. e Since the primary last week frantic e appeals have been] made to Senator d Tillman by panicky candidates. They wish to be saved from defeat if it can L possibly be done. They are now wil t ling to make any pledges of loyalty and support to Tillman. But the Senator t is just a little too astute. He has been in politics too long to risk his d popularity by attempting at the last moment to overcome a tremendous lead. e Then, it is doubtful if the Senator real ly cares to go to the rescue. He may y fear that his friends, made too power Y ful, will attempt to undermine his cas - tle. p Then, again, so far as the guberna torial contest is concerned, it is credit ably reported that the Senator weeks a ago said how the wind was blowing and e picked Heyward as the winner. e The betting men are offering big odds on the leader in this race. a lead of 18,000 votes has never been overcome d in the history of South Carolina prima , ries and it probably never will. d A Boy's Wild Ride For Life. e With family around expecting him to die, and a son riding for life, 18 miles to get Dr. King's New Discovery for Csnsumption, Coughs and Colds, W.

It is said by old politicians that no candidate for a State office has ever be fore been tendered such an endorse ment by his home people as that given Capt. Heyward in the first primary by the people of Colleton. He got 2,258 C- votes against 135 for the other four candidates-or 96 votes out of every 100 cast. This is all the more remarkable when is it is remembered that Colleton has d heretofore been very seriously divided s politically. It is a magnificient testi r monial to Hey ward by the people who - know him best. e In addition to their votes the farmers d of Colleton, hundreds of them, of every it kind and class. the followers of Ben n Tillman and Sheppard have signed 2- this address to the farmers of South 1 Carolina: 2- "State of South Carolina, County of 1 Colleton. h "We, the undersigned, farmers of n Colleton county, hereby endorse- Capt. >r D.

C.: Replying to yours of this date I will briefly state what I know of the Bill, introduced by you at the last session of the General Assembly, to ami-url An Act entitled "An Act relating to the I powers of certain corporations." I prepared the measure proposed. as a careful reading of the same will clearly show, that it was simply inten ded as one of PROTECTION to the citi zens of all cities and towns effected by it; Its chief purpose, as appears on its face, was to prevent the city or town councils of any such city or town, from imposing taxes in excess of the ordinary rate authorized by its charter. except such special taxation should be endors ed by a majority of the QUALIFIED electors thereof. at an election for that purpose. to be held under the CONSTI TUTIONAL SAFE GUARDS PROVIDED BY LAW. Personally, I approve in all respects the proposed measure., as I considered it if enacted into a law, a wise and sa! utary one: under its provisions; only such persons as should be duly qualiied voters, under the constitution and laws of this State would have been permit ted to vote on the question of increased taxation. The Bill had nothing what ever to do with the suffrage question. 'Yours, etc., (signed) JOSEPH F. RHIAME. September, 3rd, 1902. The above letter is self explanatory, and should put to shame the men who have been circulating a falsehood to deceive the voters. The Bill was unanimously reported "favorable" by the judiciary committe of the senate, composed of some of the best legal minds in the State, and it passed the cenat without a disenting voice.
