The Democratic party of South Carolina is to be re-organized throughout the State on Satur day, April 23rd, and for that purpose the county chairman has issued his call for the clubs to assemble in this county. At these club meetings, delegates will be elected to a county con vention which meets May 2nd, and also to elect a member of the county executive committee. We are peculiarly situated in this State. there being only one par ty, and that party has absolute control of the government; every officer from United States Sena tor down to constable is a mem ber of the Democratic party, aid whatever issues arise must be determined by the Democra sic voters. These conditions make it necessary for the members of the party to take an active inter est in its organization, hence ev ery man should attend his club meeting, and aid in having his club well represented in the con vention, also on the executive committee. There should be a careful revision of the rolls to prevent double representation, and there should also be care taken in the selection of a coun ty chairman, a man who will preside over party affairs with impartiality, in order that every candidate who offers himself be fore the people shall be given justice which he is entitled to. In our opinion, no man should be chosen for the office of county chairman .who will be a candi date in the primary, nor do we think it fair that a candidate in the primary shall have a membership on the executive committee. If the executive committee is made up of candi dates in the primhry, and the contest is so close that the com mittee has to determine the elec tion, these candidates who are members of the committee are judges and jury of the cases they are personally interested in, and naturally biased in their own fa vor. The rules of the Democratic party are silent upon this very important matter, but the county convention can by resolution adopt a rule which will prohibit a candidate from being a member of the executive committe; fair ness demands such action to be taken by the convention. We urge the importance of a -full attendance upon the club meetings, because our political system has become so lax that the meetings are not attended with the result, indifference has few outside ofprospective can didates take any interest in the party organization. It will not do for the' people to wait until they have to face a condi tion of corruption before they realize the importance of their -political duties, they should act -now, and prevent if possible,em barrassing conditions. How of ten do we read in the newspapers where a County Treasurer has defaulted, take the recent cases at Bamberg and Richland where -the defalcations run into the thousands of dollars, not alone -with treasurers, other officials have also defaulted, and when the bond is sued upon,the county -has a hard fight to recover, if it recovers at all. These defalea tions if not made good by the bond must necesarily be made good by the taxpayers, because it takes money to run the govern -nent and that money must come out of the pockets of the people -by taxation. Clarendon has been fortunate,the taxpayers have not been called upon to make good defalcations, but unless the peo ple interest themselves to see to it that none but good men are elected to office, there is no tell ing what the future consequences may be. Indifference is calculat ed to open the political doors to incompetency and corruption, and whenever the people by their inaction condone corruption in our election methods, they can not expect to reap other than they have sown. The represen tation in the convention two years ago 1s sufficient proof that there was corrupt methods em ployed; just think of it, a con vention of 2.500 voters, when it is a known fact, Clarendon has not over two-thirds of the num ber; notwithstanding this false reresentation, a ballot in that convention showed a vote in ex cess of the falsely enrolled dele gates. Who is responsible for such a condition? The people who do not seek to remedy it. So far as that particular convention is concerned, it resulted in coun tenancing corruption in the pri mary which gave a vote that many believe was very considerable in excess of the number of qual ified white voters, and it is known that an aver-age of over 10 voters at each of the 25 clubs did not vote at all. The vote showed 1773, and if it is a fact, and many believe it is. that fully 10 a t ach box failed to vote, it gives Clarendon over 2,000 vot ers, and no sane man believes it possible for such an increase in population or interest since the election four years ago when the total vote did not exceed 1450. We are reminding our readers of this matter, not for the pur pose of charging any particular man with responsibility, for we propose to let the "dead past bury the past," but for the pur pose of urging the people to awake to their interests before it is too late. Every reasoning man must know, if he will con sider for a moment,where men se cure position by corrupt meth ods, such methods must sooner or later creep into the offices which they hold, and that is the reason why we hear of so much rottenness in States where polit ical rivalry has unearthed cor ruption and made convicts of even United States Senators. Let the people go to their clubs on the 23rd, choose an executive committeeman who will frown upon fraud. and elect a county chairman who will hold the scales of justice with an im partial and an unpartisan hand, then send a delegation to the State convention which will endeavor to make rules that look to the purification of our election methods. If the people will do this, it will put a stop to slander and trickery, debauchery and bribery in our primary elec tions, and result in giving us moral, good, and safe men to conduct our governmental af fairs. HEARST IS ENTITLED TO FAIR TREAT MENT. -1 The Hearst matter being pub lished in several county news papers is no indication that the editors of those papers are in favor of nominating Hearst for the presidency. We take it, these editors are disposed to treat Hearst as they would any other Democrat, fairly, and not keep his literature from the peo ple while they are urging the nomination of some other Demo crat. If the friends of Judge Parker will send matter to this paper we will take pleasure ingiv ing our readers the benefit of it and every other candidate for the Democratic nomination will be treated likewise. The edi torial columns is the place to find the editors choice, and so far as we are concerned, it mat ters not much to us who is nom inated, anything labeled "Demo crat" will receive the vote of South Carolina. If Mr. Hearst is the corrupt man, some news papers are painting him, why is it they did not let it be known when he was a candidate for Congress. If we remember cor rectly, they went into ecstacies when William R. Hearst was made a member of Congress, and some that are fighting him now were among the number. They charge he is trying to buy his nomination to the presidency. Will they tell us whether or not he bought his election to Con gress? If he bought his election to Congress he should have been exposed then, and if it was all right for hi to buy a seat in Congress, it must be right for him to buy the Presidential chair. In our opinion the newspapers are making a big mistake in charging Mr. Hearst with cor ruption at this stage of the game, for it might come to pass that Hearst will be nominated, and these same papers will turn tail the other way and bark loud his virtues. Our choice for the Democratic nomination is Arthur Pue Gorman, but from present indications he will not be nomi nated. We favor him bocause we believe he will come nearei solidifying the party than any other man so far- named, and for the reason, the South is undei everlasting obligations to hin for preventing the "force bill' being enacted into law. Judge Parker of New York seems to be the favorite with South Carolina's leaders, and it looks very much like the friends of Parker will succeed in cap. turing the Convention, and should they do so, William Jen nings Bryan may not take kind ly to such a nomination, and the party will go into battle with divided ranks. We want a win ner, let it be Gorman, Hearst, Parker, G-ray or Bailey, it mat ters not just so he can bring all the elements of the party to gether and plant the Democratic banner on Capitol hill. The delegation from South Carolina should not be hampered with iron clad instructions, nor with any unit rule shackles, our dele gates will be on the ground and in better position to judge if left to use their best judgment, for matters not who is nominated, the nominee must be South Car olina's choice. THE CHOSEN SEVEN. Our city election has been had, and the chosen ones, are decid edly the choice of a large major ity of town's citizenship. Each and every member of the coun cil-elect received a very fiatter ing vote, and we have no doubt that each of them appreciate this manifestation of confidence on the part of such a majority of their fellow citizens. We did not vote for the ticket elected, with one exception, our prefer ence being for the other ticket, not because we did not have con idence in the personnell of the chosen ones, but because we had as much confidence in one set as the other. We believe the de feated set is as progressive and as patriotic as the other, with as much of the town's welfare un selfishly at heart. We now be council who will disappoint those that are counting upon doing things which will provoke opposi tion on the part of even a minor ity of citizens; we refer to indis criminate franchises, and a discriminating set of waterworks. It is believed by quite a number that it is the intention of a few interested persons to have coun cil install a waterworks plant to protect the business portion of the town and pay for same by general taxation. In fact, we heard one of the present council say it should be done, and later on as the town could afford it ex tend the plant. In our opinion council will not be able to get such a measurC through by a unanimous vote, because there are men in that body who real ize the injustice of such action, and will vote to prevent it. But should council adopt such an im position, it may as well retain its lawyer to defend its action, for we know whereof we speak, when we say there are a number of respected property owning citi zens who will seek protection from such ar imposition in the courts. This is not a threat, but a warning to council that although under the election laws a minority is un able to obtain results at the polls, if that minority is dis criminated against, it can pray for relief before a tribunal which does not govern by the force of numbers, but by law. It is the duty of all good citi zens to lend every encourage ment towards making the ad ministration of the new council a success, this we will endeavor to do. It shall be our purpose to give it praise for that which we regard to the interests of the entire people, and whenever in our judgment council proposes a measure which we regard not essential to the general welfare, we shall endeavor to point out by reasoning our objections. The council is made up of good busi ness men and it is hoped the town will be governed in a wise, conservative manner. STATE OF OHIO. CITY OF TOLEDO. I_ LUCAS COUNTY. FRANK J.

Many houses are well painted with four gallons of L. & M. and three gal lons of linseed oil mixed therewith. These Celebrated Paints are sold by Foreston News. Eaior The Manning Times: We made ourselves conspicuous last week, by our abscence from your col umns, but we can find so little of inter est to write about, that we fear by too frequent use of our pen, we might weary hoth you and your readers. Love of the beautiful is an inmate principle of the human heart. With the advent of spring, at well nigh every home, the fair ladies may be seen from time to time, as busy as bees. working among their geraniums, and other choice plants and flowers. The ladies (God bless them:) we think the very loveliest flowers of all, though we cannot say of them as Solomon said of the lilies-"they toil not" for, indeed, the dear women are important factors in the domestic problem in these times of scarcity of labor, poor help etc. While on this interesting subject would say that one afternoon not long since, our attention was attracted by a lovely young lady riding through the main streets of our town. We at first thought der a fair stranger. but upon inquiry, learned that-it was Miss Gussie Appelt of Manning. She has been here before, and is pleasantly remem bered. We trust she may come again, in the near future, and grant us more than a passing glimpse of her charms. We notice from the last Manning papers that our townsman, Mr. C. M. Mason, is a candidate for clerk of court. No doubt all the candidates for that office are good men, but we are quite sure none better than lr. Mason. Friend Charles may rest assured of our vote, and all that we can influence. A sad accident occured Friday about a mile below here. Two negroes were asleep on the railroad track, a freight train passing between 10 and 11 o'clock a. m. killed one, Henry Singletary, the other awoke barely in time to make his escape. The railroad lawyer, Mr. De Jongh came down to investigate-the jury exonerated the railroad from any blame. The -unfortunate man's re mains were sent to his relatives at Mayesville. Two of our enterprising citizens, Messrs. J. H. Boswell and J. M. McRoy have constructed a telephone line from here to Greeleyville, thus giving For eston one more connection with other places. Air. and Mrs. W. T. P. Sprott went to Manning Tuesday. Mr. George Hudgins of Charleston visited his grandfather Mr. R. R. Hud gins last week. Mr. George Barnes of Columbia spent Thursday night with his parents. Capt. and Mrs. S. Y. Barnes. Prof. B. M.

Browne of the Sumter district, preached here last Saturday and Suniday. Thie organ was played by Miss Minnie Johnson, assisted by Miss Lillie Lavender of Spring Bank, the choir was in fine training and made excellent music. Miss Lavender takes pleasure in lending a helping hand for these occasions. There was a large number of bache lors at church last Sunday, and the irls in Easter attire were eyed by hem closely and fondly. My old lady did not want me to write this week, but when she went out to cook supper, I slipped off and scratched down a few dots any way for luck. She also advises me not to enter politics the coming season as she wants me to stay home with her to keep the poultry out of the garden, and mind the calves in the pasture, just as a young merchant of Manning used to do when he lived in this section. Step up candidates, and let us hear from you. Let every one of you run on your ~own hook, and not try to make capital out of foolish rumors. I was lad THE TIES editor came out strong lv last week about making him a candi (ate-maker, and what he said should be conclusive proof that he proposes to let every candidate weed his own row, a very proper course for a man to take after having been honored by the peo ~le as often as he has. If other candi dates had adopted the same course in the past, they probably would be better off now. In my judgment, a man'in of ice, or a man running for office should not carry other peoples' burdens on ptheir shoulders, as they have troubles of thei- own. and should be grateful for what they get. Everybody is busy, and niews is ter ribly scarce. B. Proper Treatment of Pneumonia. Pneumonia is too dangerous a disease for any one to attempt to doctor himself although he may have the proper rem edies at hand. A physician should al ways be called. It should be borne in mnind, however, that pneumonia al ways results from a cold or from an at tack of the grip, and that by giving Chamberlain's Cough remedy the threatened attack of pneumonia may be warded off. This remedy is also used by physicians in the treatment of pneu monia with the best results. Dr. WV. . Smith, of Sanders, Ala,, who is also a druggist, says of it: "I have been sell ing Chamberlain's Cough remedy and prescribing it in my practice for the past six years. I use it in cases of pneumonia and have always gotten the best results." Sold by The R. B. Lor yea Drug Store, Isaac M. Loryea,Prop. Summerton News.

For Sale at All Dispensa Springtime. The breath of spring has touched the trees: Their boughs once lifeless to the eye, Now hearken to the voice of spring And send forth buds so sweet and shy. The flowers awakened by sunshine, Now ope their beauteous eyes and f blink, The tender voice of spring speaks low t "Awake, sweet flowers, and do not shrink" The violets sweetly smiling now Revive the lover's broken heart, For springing sweetly in his path To him their fragrance they impart. Or resting on the maidens breast Impart a charm so sweet and rare That was not there before the maid Had deftly placed the flowers there. The fragrant yellow jessamines creep Their fragrance wafted all around The woodlands with the silvery strains Of singing birds do now abound. The breath of spring has touched the rose: Now at the fair blue sky she peeps Aroused by rays of warm sunshine Now slowly into bloom she creeps. The maple bows her graceful head And swings her boughs in sweet spring air. Arrayed in crimson, spring's first dress, Superbly rich, divinely fair. The stately oak stands tall and grim Appareled rich in green and gold. The birds flit lightly through his boughs Singing the song that ne'er grows old. Now many voices fill the air: The farmers call, the singing birds, The crickets chir-p, the horses neigh. The cowboys ~shout, the bleating' herds. The rippling brook flows gently on* Across the meadows grassy breast And lonely on its bank there stands The bower that holds the sly birds nest. Tis here in spring the blue-eyed maid Lists to the tale of some fair youth Who by her blush and downcast eyes Divines with joy the hidden truth. We gaze upon the fair queen earth Adorned by God with beauties rare And know that He in mercy sweet Has granted us another year. G. Letter to R. L. Bell. Dear Sir: A big mill-owner, Spartan urg, S.
