A GOOD SERVICE. t Work which has resulted in C substantial good for the people s of South Carolina has recently I been accomplished by Senator t Tillman, who has succeed in col- . lecting from the United States - government a balance of $89, 137,86 and which wipes' out the t State's debt of $249,750. This I amount of iS9,137,86 was turned i into the State treasury, which t will be used for State purposes. I Senator Tillman has been work- I ing hard for a long time to get this money and bring about a q settlement with the government I andonly succeeded by indomita- t ble will power, and persistence. This claim has been hung up r ever since about 1815 and Mr. t Jesse T. Gantt formerly Chief t clerk in Secretary of State's C office now Secretary of State,dis- 11 covered the claim while explor- e ing a lot of. old paper packed C away in the State house, and to E him much of the credit of the t State's "windfall" is due. The t Senator was determined to make r the government pay the claim, i and he-was fortunate in taking t advantage of a peculiar situation ' in the closing hours of Congress: I the Senator found that he had s it in his power to talk to death a very important legislation-ap propriation bills, and force the t calling of an extra session. He made the threat if his claim was 3 not allowed to go through he a i! would obstruct all other legisla- n tion, and it was either accede to n the demand or take the responsi- h Sbilityof the country's censure, x and the Senate let it through. ( "Uncle Joe" Cannon who is to it be speaker of the new Congress ' got hot in the collar when he d learned of Tillman's tactics, and declared it a case of "Black Mail," and that the government only owed South Carolina 34 cents. We do not k-now how z Cannon makes his calculations, E but we do know that Tillman c brough~t home and turned over d to Go'vernor Heyward what is y claimed the government was due c the'btate, and which every citi- t, zen in the State is grateful for. i: We have had a number of Sena tors since 1815 and it does seem b strange that none of them knew 1j of these claims, or if they did v they certainly failed in looking s after the State's interests so far i as this transaction is concerned. x The State's debt is settled with r a good round sum now in our treasury and the credit of it is due to Senator Tillman's tact and v perseverence. --p a WE SHOULD DO SOMETHING. C -Since the adjournment of the Legislature,the matter of having t South Carolina represented at the St. Louis World's Fair has ~ been agitated by a number of business organizations, and Gov ernor Reyward is throwing the e * weight of his influence towards ~ encouraging the business inter ests to secure a place in the grand panorama. What will be a done we are not yet prepared to say, but we are free to say that had the commercial organiza-e tions exerted their influence with d our representatIves, an appro- a priation would have been made, d and the State would now be in a position to have her resourcesr placed on exhibition where the home-seeking and investment seeking world can see what we have here to induce immigration P and capital. As it is, the only ' way this State can advertise her resources, is to organize a move ment in every county, and by a popular subscription raise a suf ficient sum of money to pay the expenses of an exhibit. There ti is now stowed away in the city bi of Charleston a large number of i articles which can be used for 5 exhibiting and these would act ~ as a nucleus for additional mate- k rial if an organized effort with a ti determination to have an exhibit is made. We are glad to see the interest og Governor Heyward is taking in r this matter as it proves his busi ness foresight, and shows that " the head of the government is F alive to the material interests of ?' the State. The St. Louis expo- " *sition will probably be the last ~ institution of the kind, and we si should not lose this opportunity. I: At this show the world will par. ticipate every State in the Union will be represented, and should South Carolina be an ex- G ception it will be unfortunate. 1 This State can only advance by the development of her natural T resources, to accomplish such a P result, it requires brain, energy ~ and capital. We have the brain and the energy, but we lack in k capital, and this we must induce L here. How isit to be done? Surely not by keeping hidden from view *those things - which investment seekers are hunting. We should all join the Governor in his com- -b mendable efforts to have South Ia Carolina's undeveloped wealth- di resources brought out from their in hiding places that the world may see it, and come to us with the r bran ndcaitl o evlo i. JUSTICE DEMANDS IT. Some of the Southern newspa ers have begun the' agitation of man from the South to be put n the national ticket at the next )emocratic nominating conven ion. Richardson of Tennessee as been frequently mentioned, nd we have no doubt but that le would be a very available aan. but whether the demand of . man fromu the South will mount to anything we are una >e to predict. There is one hing certain, no Democratic icket can be elected without the -otes of the South, and it strikes s, the time has arrived when ome recognition should be given he section which must furnish he electing material. The south is solidly Democratic and vill remain so for many years o come, and the recent agitation f the race question will so over hadow all other questions that t is impossible for the people of he South to divide on economic [uestions. The movement in everal States, notably in the tate of Alabama, to eliminate he negro vote and create a white ,epublican party in the South aight have amounted to some hing had Mr. McKinley lived, ut since his death his successor ias made some appointments chich has precipitated the race uestion and it has knocked the rops from under any further at empt to bring about a division. The people of the South will ot stand for the recognition of Le negro in politics, nor will 1ey submit to any recognition f the negro socially. If the maders of the Republican party ver hope to have the principles f that party take root in the outh they must first wipe out e amendment to the Constitu ion which gives the negro the ight of franchise, then, and not ntil then, will there be two con esting parties in the South. 'his being the case, and there eing absolutely no chance for uccess without the South, we gree with those who think the outh should be represented on he national ticket. There is more Catarrh in this section of the >untry than all other diseases put together. id until the last few years was supposed to be curable. Fora great many years doctors pro iunced it a local disease, and prescribed local medies. and by constantly failing to cure with cal treatment. pronounced it incurable. Science s proven catarrh to be a constitutional dis tse, and therefore requires constitutional treat ent. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by . J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the or.ly >nstitutional cure on ihe market. It is taken ternally in doses f:om 10 drops to a teaspoon . It acts dircctly on the blood and mucous irfaces of the system.

Hon. A. C. Latimer is now a aember of the United States enate, and after having sue eeded a man who prefered in ependence to political success, s conduct will be scrutinized losely. He has an opportunity > make a name for himself, but he per-mits himself to be a me-too" it would have been etter for him had he remained a the lower house where he rould not have been so con pluous. Latimer while a mem er of the lower house was a ry active representative and 1ade himself agreeable in the de artments, which brought forth ood results for his district. He as not aversed to getting ap ointments for his constituents, nd whenever he could secure ne he did it. We believe the ,resent friendly relations be -een Tillman and Latimer will ontinue because they have al rays been personal friends, hich was not the case with 'illman and McLaurin. There xisted a coolness between Till ian and McLaurin which dates ack to when the latter was the ttorney General of the State, nd ever since it grew wider and 'ider until it resulted in an open reach. Tillman did not' like cLaurin, and McLaurin detest 1 Tillman, and we have no oubt that their personal antip thy had much to do with their ifferences politically. McLau n is out now, and we hope othing will occur between Till. ian and his new collegue to ortify their constituents and iake South Carolina the laugh ig stock of the United States. READ IT THROUGH. would Spoil This Story to Tell It in the Headlines. To use an eighteenth century phrase, us is an "o'er true tale." Having ipened in a small Virginia town in e winter of 1902, it is a story very uch of the present. Up to a short me ago Mrs. John E. Harmon of :elfa Station, Va., had no personal owledge of the rare curative proper es of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Last January," she says, "my baby ok a dreadful cold and at one time I ared she would have pneumonia, but e of my neighbors told me how this ~medy had cured her little boy and I gan'giving it to my baby at once and soon cured her. I heartily thank the anufacturers of Chamberlain's Cough emedy for placing so great a cure ithin my reach. I cannot recommend too highly or say too much in its fa >r. I hope all who read this will try and be convinced as I was." For te by The Rt. B. Loryea Drug Store. ;aac M. Loryea, Prop. Honor Roll.

A woman fair and gentle, noble, giranI. Loved as but few are loved! Born to command, Sbe lived to serve. As gracious aS a queen And tender as a mother. Suci her mien. The world had need of her, for wrong was bold And held high carnival in ways untold. She saw, and yielding to the voice that said, Lo! I am with you, to the battle sped. A peaceful warfare hers, who dared to stand For God and right, for home and nlative land. In this month, February, our country stands amid the rush and whirl of life, to pay affectionate tribute to the memory of its two i greatest presidents, and as their devotion to one's country was exemplified, their names stand today, and will stand for all time to serve to stimulate patriotic fervor in the breast of every American citizen. So our thoughts inevitably turn to an other patriot, Francis Willard, whose heavenly birthday we commemorate this month. What! a patriot was Francis Willard. We can hardly realize as fully, perhaps, as those who will come after us. Her life and work meant a great deal for this coun try and the world. To Francis Willard patriotism meant reli gion, and religion meant patriot ism. Among her last words as she lay waiting at the portals of heaven for the final summons were these: "Oh, but I want our women to have a new conception of religion; the religion of the world is a religion of love; it is a home religion; it is a religion of peace, and till then, oh! till i then, not to forget it is a religion of patriotism." Francis Willard gave her life for the cause of humanity. She was the founder of the world's W. C. T. U., and did more than all others to en circle the globe with intemper ance truth as understood by the W. C. T. U. Five years since we have clasped those helpful hands, Whose touch has thrilled the hearts of many lands. Think you their power in yon celestial clime Is lessened? Nay, but freed from thralls of time, With glad new strength, they find their glory stiln In doing there, as here, the Master's will. Five years since ceased to beat that loving heart, Where every human interest had a part: Where every heavenly influence was nursed, That might help heal a race by sin ac cursed. Yet can she he less tender, strong and brave, Less eager to redeem, and guide, and save Than when we smiled back in her sunny .face So dear, so dear in all its saintly grace? I think not; ours it is on faith's broad wings To gradually rise above the show of things And grasp the precious truth that now and here. Our Francis Willard lives, to bless and cheer. MRs. J. W. MIMS, President Paxville W. C. T. U3. World's lBattle With Intemperance. "And even these reel with wine." What the Prophet .said~ of the leaders of the chosen peo pe centuries before the coming of Christ has been true of other leaders and followers down the centuries since and is still true in .these opening years of the newest century. The world is not yet rid of the curse of strong drink. The only temperance that will work a cure is total ab stinence. It would almost seem that the higher up men and wo men are in the scale of ability, and genius. and culture, the more surely does strong drink accomplish their ruin when once it gets a chance. And it does with all of us; there lives no man, woman or child who can1 say truthfully that from that danger he or she is free. Those who believe they are free are in the great~est danger on that ac count- They are safest who re cognize the peril and guard themselves by total abstinence.I -S. S. Times.

CHA LETN 4. c. "Slab's" Ruminations. Editor The Manning Times: Its been a good while since I wrote anything for you, and if I thought there was any good in it, I could fix up a pilc of excuses high as a low pine tree. but there ain't no good in that. People are all the time making too many about every thing that don't go exactly right any how. It don't matter much what happens to a fellow, he can al most in general fix up a good excuse. For instance we can take our same old "wool hat crowd." You just let a fellow make a poor crop and he'l pile up ex cuses for you in a hurry-'Says he "Oh there was too much rain; nobody could make a crop if it rains all the time." Next man: "Oh that plagney old land is too poor; how you expect me to make a crop on land that makes cow peas grunt to get up." Well that's 2 out of 20. You fellows know how it is. Just once.out of every fifty you will find a fellow honest enough to say, "Well, I must tell the truth; that there crop didn't get justice; if I had just plowed it one more time, or if 1 had fixed the land right before I planted, it would have done better." Ain't that right? Ain't that along in the line of facts and "figgers'?" It don't take the best land nor the most manure to make the best crop every time. But you just show me a fellow that "hits 'em" and "hits 'em" hard and regular from Mon day morning, sunrise, until Friday evening, sundown. and I just bet you a nickle against a dime he'l make a crop. And especially if all this elbow-grease is mixed along with a little good judge ment. Two fellow's was going along the road, and they were in their own coun ty, that is they lived there abouts and knew the land and the farmers that worked the land. They came to one farm that showed thrift and energy; a good crop well worked, one of the fel lows that knew, remarked: "That there crop ain't got nothin' nuder it but elbow-grease and the grace er God " The very next farm they came to was just as good land and if anything better. it was half worked, grassy and little puny looking crop that wasn't goin' to make anything. One of the fellows asked the other one, who was a regular old one gallers-wool hat farm er. How come that crop so little and poor?" The fellow studdied a little and said: "That's jist about as good as Godermity could do by his self." The fellow was in dead earnest. He knew the man hadn't worked his crop and as a consequence hadn't made anything, and that was his way of telling a plain fact. And I just tell you what's a fact, he came about as near hitting the nail square on the head as any 40 dollar lawyer could have done. It seems to me that we have got a promise some where that the good Master is going to help a fellow if he'l try to help himself, and I don't know whether he has promised to help a fel low that is proportioned with 9 streaks f "lazy" to one of "smart" or not. Oh its so nice and easy to sit down in the shade in them "yaller June days, and listen to the singing of a lark that sits in a tree close by, and all the time that same lark is a singing as hard as he can "Lazy kill you! Lazy kill you!" Fellows, listen for that lark and don't let him sing that song. If you happen to be sitting down in the shade and he comes and lights on a tree close to you and starts to sing that little song, jump up and run him off: make him go to somebody elses field to sing. Now some of you fellows what's got an of fice, and can sit down in the shade and get a living, may think this all bosh, but the wool hat brigade, the bone and sinew of the land, the fellows that work in the broiling sun until their hands and faces are as "yallers" as a pumpkin they k-now! They know it takes a man to stand. There's an old saying, "If you can't stand hot grease, get out of he kitchen." That's it! Don't be a "alf-way nethin'." Either be a good farmer or go to Manning and be a good loafer. We don't-need any loafers on the farm. Farm work don't agree with em nobow. Break up your land good fellows, and half the battle will be won. And don't plant to much crop. That's the trouble with lots and scores of us. We get too greedy in the spring and plant too much. Plant less and fix it better. There ain't many of us that can see very far ahead of our noses, but it strikes me that that's extremely the ase with the tobacco farmer. -With the trust toughling up things as they are now, it just strikes this here scribe, that the fellow that can't make a quali t of leaf this year that somebody will want and want bad, there won't be much price hitched to it. Try to make big tobacco fellows, something that the buyers will want. Local news is scarce. Ev-erybody is trying hard to plow some between showers. Jonix SL AB. Cures Cancer and Blood Poison.
