We urge upon our readers to regard what we shall say in these columns as an expression of our own conclusions reached after a careful stndy of matters and conditions. and that these expressions are not intended in any way to dictate, and we shall be glad indeed, whenever we have given an editorial expres sion which does not meet with the approval of any reader, for him to take issue with us that we may reason it out together, giving our assurance if shown t that our conclusions are not cor rect, to make the acknowledge ment. In the past two issues of this paper we took occasion to de clare that there is an issue in 1 the coming primary, notwith standing an attempt on the part of some to side-trick it, by dis A cussing questions which are not 1 matters of contention. The liquor question is here and so far as the sincere Prohibitionists are concerned it is unsolved, and will continue to be unsolved un til the dispensary and all other liquor selling systems are wiped out of existence. and the man professing to be a Prohibition ist who will not use all his pow- 3 er to crash the dispensary, is t not consistent with his profes- t sions, and if a candidate for f office, will drive from him every t man who stands by prohibition as a religious principle. As a matter of expediency a man may do many things, but a religious principle has no room for expe dients. If prohibition is a reli- C gious principle, some argue it is t not, but if it is, then the sincere C -Prohibitionists has his face set1I in one direction, and that is to wards the point where the sale of intoxicating liquors as a ber- 1 erage must be abolished. I If we are correct in this, what t are the people going to do with candidates for the legislature, 1 the body which has the power to 6 -destroy or continue the dispen- t sary system, who are not wil- t ling to admit that the liquor ' question is an issue in this cam- ' p'aign? We say it is an issue, ~ Baptist associations and Unions, ~ and Methodist conferences, have t adopted resolutions urging the ] issue, and several newspapers, denominational and secular have C written columns of matter dis- 2 cussing it, prominent Prohibi tionists are urging their friends I to select, combine, and elect I Prohibitionists to the legislature, and with this condition existing the issue is not only drawn but -it 'is one; that requires the serious consideration of both, Prohibi- E tionists and Dispensaryites,I "that none be put on guard E whose position is at all doubt-3 ful" The voters who favor 3 prohibition cannot afford to vote C for men that do not come out( boldly and manfully and pro- ( claim themselves Prohibition ists, who will devote their ut- t -most ability to destroying the I dispensary, and who cannot and I will not compromise "a religious 3 principle."' Those voters who ] favor the dispensary as a matter a of public policy, believing it a I practical control of the liquor I traffic, but if destroyed, will cur- I tail our school facilities, and de- 3 prive needy confederate vet- c erans of their justly merited a pensions, will force a much e . heavier tax levy to meet the I running expenses of the govern- t ment, and at the same time hav'e " the liquor demon stalking all over a the country with impunity, can- E not afford to vote for men, unless E they too, make public a declara- ~ . tion that they will support and f sustain the dispensary, and will not by their votes in the legisla ture cripple the institution. This is a matter which is of t deep concern to both Dispen- t sa r i t e s and Prohibitionists; e neither side is willing to trust its e cause in the hands of compromis- a ing men who are now, or have c heretofore been strongly opposed !ii to the dispensary, because a re-ie -ligious principle was involved, 9 and standing upon that principle -i so religiously, scratched the name i of Senator Tillman when he last i: was a candidate for the United States Senate. There should -a be no equivocation, no fioun- a dering about, a candidate must i be frank and honest, and if .x he is worthy of the peo- ~ ple's confidence, he will not at- i tempt to mislead or deceive the i voters, for it is more honorable t to go down in defeat faithfully 1 standing by a religious principle, a than to win by crafty deception. d There is more Catarrh in this section of the nountry than all other diseases put together. and until the last few years was supposed t, be I incurable. For a great many years doctors pro nounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies. and by constantly failini; to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional dis- 1 ease, and therefore requires constitutional treat ment. Hall's Catarrh Cure. manufactured by 6 F. J. Cheney & Co.. Toledo. Ohio. is the only ( constitutional cure on the market. It is taken 'internilly in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoon fuil. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hun dred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address. F. J. CHENEY & CO.. Toledo. 0. 3 SAVE US FROM OUR FRIEN~DS. Governor Lanham, a brother >f Hon. J. C. Lanham of Sum nerton, has been renominated rovernor of Texas. In the same ionvention which renominated 3overnor Lanham, Ex-Governor Bogg made a speech in which he ~ook occasion to speak a kmnd cord for President Roosevelt, md denounced the methods idopted to nominate Parker, at hc same time saying he would ~upport the Democratic ticket. Snumber of newpapers are crverely criticizing Governor -ogg for speaking his mind so >lainly, they say his support is a nockery, and intimate strongly hat he does not want Parker ~lected. We think the conduct >f both Ex-Governor Hogg and 301. W. J. Bryan, inexcusable. f these two men who have been he recipients of exalted honors rom their party are going to rive- that party support. it is a nost arrant hypocrisy to be ~aying that Parker is "the tool >f Wall street" or that "the ['rusts bought his nomination or him" and other expressions which are calculated to drive sway honest Democratic votes in tates where the party must get hem if victory is wanted. Colonel Bryan through Mr. ~Vall has tendered his services o the National Democratic com nittee, but if Tom Taggart is he shrewd politican he is reput d to be, the offer will not be ac epted, or if it is, Billy Bryan ill be confined to the State of ~ebraska where he might induce ~nough Republicans to join with he Populists to elect a coalition egislature, and thereby send ryan to the Senate. We hard y think the Democratic commit ee will take chances with Col. Bryan to send him to Indiana, linois, Connecticut, Delaware, >r New Jersey. He might in iis eloquent denunciation of nonopolies confess that Parker's uomination was secured by these nfluences, and that Roosevelt is ? much of a Democrat as Par er. Bryan of Nebraska, and logg of Texas notwithstanding heir promises to support the icket, will serve the party more aithfully this year if they will ake a trip to Europe, or go into etirement altogether. NO SOCIAL EQUAL.ITY. The platform of an Anderson ounty candidate for the legisla ure, is to provide separate ac ommodations for white and tegro convicts in jails, chain angs and the penitentiary. 'his is carrying the social ques ion to an extent heretofore un hought of, and in the hill sec ions of that county it might be popular demand. If a white an steals a hog and is convict d, it would be very humiliating o him to be forced to work on he chainagang beside a "nigger" tho helped him steal the hog. f a white man is convicted of >urning his neighbors barn, it could be a social outrage for he law to confine him in the enitentiary by the side of a 'nigger" accomplice in the :rime, and should a white man ,nd "a nigger" be convicted of ome diabolical murder, the aw should have a higher regard or our social status, than to wiig these two fiends from the ame gallows. The Anderson tatesman who conceived the rilliant idea of preventing social quality among convicts, should Lot content himself with the tate legislature, Congress is vhere his services are needed, here "Jim Crow" legislation an do the whole country good. )ur present political method is alculated to conceive just such breed of law-makers, and too, he racial prejudice with some eope is so great that a loud aouthed demagogue can win !otes with just such clap-trap. Ie goes forth among the people ,nd tells them a yarn, how "a >oor white man unable to em >oy a lawyer was convicted and s forced to work side by side rith a negro, eat the same kind if food and is treated the same s the negro," but if he is elect d to the legislature he will aake a law which will require he authorities to put white con -icts to guard and superintend, and make "the niggers" wait ipon them. He will be designat d as "the white man's friend" d many a vote will be polled or him. GIVE US SOMETHING FRESH. There is hardly any need for .s to discuss National issues in lese columns, as we all are comn iitted to the action of the party onvention, and it matters but ery little whether we are in ac ordl with the Parker, or the ryan methods, the edict has 'one forth,and there is nothing be done but to obey the party ehests. Therefore when we ear a man in this State profess ag loyalty to the Democratic1 party, it reminds us of a fellow ho was working a swindling :raft in a religous community rhile a revival was going on. He rent about among the good pious people exclaiming, "I've got re igion and don't care who knows b." In a short while several of he most sanctified were duped y this loud mouthed professor, nd when too late, one of the .uped ones approached another rother in distress and said "Ihf hat stranger does not return to ae what he swindled me out of, te'll be damned," to which his omrade replied with some little eat "Brother if you are fool nough to look for that chap to ome back, then I'll be damned." ind so it is, what in the name of ense is the'use of professing our >olitical loyalty when every man e'ith a thimbleful of sense knows hat disobedience to the edicts of the party simply means political ostracism and no one but an in sane creature would offer before the Democratic voters on any other but the platform adopted by the party. Instead then of filling up the time in proving loyalty to the party, it is more profitable in leaving that matter to States where the people are not one way of acting, and dis cuss such things as come nigh home to us, that tend to improve our roads, our schools, our local government without burdening the people with excessive taxa tion, and keep us from gettirg stranded on the shoals of fanati cism or impracticable theories. We have received a copy of the "Baptist and Reflector," published at Nashville, Tenn., with our attention requested to a long article written by Dr. C. C. Brown of Sumter. The ar ticle is entitled "The Science of Wire-pulling." It is written in a semi-humorous vein, and evi dently intended to satarize some of Mr. Brown's opponents in the Baptist church. The article is too long for us to reproduce, even were we inclined to do so, and as there are several denomi national papers in this State, we think it more proper for them to republish it. We do not care to get entangled in any denomina tional controversies. Cholera Infantum. This disease has lost its terrors since Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Di arrhoea Remedy came tuto general use.

Editor The Manning Times: The old man has been a little under the weather and unable to muster up any news the last few weeks, but will endeavor to send a few items this week. Mr. W. W. Cunningham and Mr. W. M. Davis returned from the exposition last Tuesday. They tell us that a man can spend all the money he can carry, and that those who don't want to spend it better stay away. Mrs. F. L. Wolfe, who has been visit ing relatives at Monroe, N. C., returned home Saturday evening. Miss Florence Martin of Florence is visiting at Mrs. Alderman's. Mr. L. M. Jones went to Davis Sta tion this morning to attend the burial services of his brother-in-law, Mr. R. J. Aycock, who was stricken with paraly sis last Thursday morning and died yes terday. We see very few candidates consider ing the number now in the field. Say, bys, you must come around and shake our hands well, or you may be disap pointed when the primary comes off. Nothing like this old-time hand-shak ing, you know. Mr. Editor, we would like so much to know who it is that wants you to select three men for him to send to the Legis lature. It is amusing. A man who has not judgment enough to choose for himself should refrain from voting at all, lest he should make a mistake and vote for the wrong man. It is reported that Mr. D. W. Alder man has quit sawmilling and gone to automobiling. We don't altogether ig nore the report-looks so. Our town was flushed with pretty girls yesterday, causing the writer to wonder why there is not some one of them who 'will haye mercy on an old bachelor and listen to his pleadings. PA T. Alcolu, S.
