After much prodding on the part of the newspapers two of the most prominent aspirants for gubernatorial honors have broken their silence, by giving to the press their views on the all absorbing topic. as to how ther stand on the liquor ques tion. The declarations of neith er are as emphatic and clear as we should like to see from states inen aspiring to the exalted po sition of Governor, both of them se'm to approach the question with gum shoes on their feet, and their minds on what the effect will be. Senator Manning's let ter has a "ime-too" ring about it. He evidently does not wish to cast loose from the dispensary ship, as long as Senator Tillman will stand at the helm, and therefore he too, will not stand for corruption. but wants to amend the law, and give it an other trial, or longer lease of life. Senator Manning does not offer anything in the way of good reasoning why the system should not be condemned, but contents himself with echoing that which the author of the law has heretofore pronounced, and which was in effect. "amend the law by taking the election of the board of control away from the legislature, and place the man agement back into the hands of the governor and other state officials." Senator Tillman set such a pace at Gaffney, and at the last session of the legisla ture Senator Manning endeav ored to carry it out, now Sena tor Tillman has again made pub lic his plan for reforming the dis pensary and Senator Manning makes bold to declare himself along similar lines. We had hoped that after so long a silence the Senator from Sumter with gubernatorial ambitions, would have given to the public, that is distressed over the present c'->n ditions, something which evolv ed from his own brain, and which would guide the people to t-hinking. isnt.vr South Carolinaisntavr tising for a man to be employed to till the governor's chair, if she did, there are plenty who would apply for the job, and would even put in bids for it: what the State doesneed to fill this exalted position is a states man, a thought leader, a man of integrity, convictions and deter mination. There is absolutely no need for a sentiment-chaser, or a time-server, and the man who is without the moral cour age, especially under present conditions, to lead the masses out of the mire, is not the kind needed to guide the ship of State. Senator Manning's letter was a disappointment to us, not that we expected him to agree with the views we entertain, but because we have not discovered any original marks in it, but on the contrary, we think we see where he tracks in the ruts of Senator Tillman's band wagon. The letter of Hon. Martin F. Ansel, while it takes a position, in part, similar to the what we have been advocating for years, is not such a strong declaration as we would like to see. He speaks with bated breath, and while he favors local option in one breath, he, in our judgment,! destroys the main feature of lo cal option, and the principle of local self government when he, opposes permitting the people to vote upon themselves a license system if they so desire, and he also throttles the principle of local self government, when he advocates permitting the people to adopt a dispensary system without allowing them local control. According to Mr. An sei, if the people of a county vote to have a dispensary, then they must have it managed by "a board of control appointed by the governor of the State." He blows hot and blows cold, in one breath he says local option, in the next State Control, and that is just what is the matter right now. State Control-appointing local boards, at the seat of the govrnment, or as Senator Till innused to express it, "the head center of devilment," isI what is making the once proud old State, hang her head in shame. We do not regard Mr-. Ansel's local option attitude strong be cause lhe too, seems to have ringing in his ears Senator Till man's declaration that he will tight a license system, and it has made him weaken. Local self goverment, means local control, the will of the majority in a county, and under our Constitu tion, barrooms cannot be oper ated: therefore, if the legisla ture permits a county to vote license, the liquor sold under such license must be sold in accordance with the Constitu tioa resrtions, ndan indi idual holding a license, would not dare to violate the constitu tional restrictions for fear of forfeiture, and severe punish ment. But after the author of the law struck his tom-tom, and declared be would tight license, the local self government tree upon which Mr. Ansel has been quietly perched, seems only to have had dispensary and prohi bition branches which he regard ed of sufticient strength to hold him and his load of gubernatorial aspirations, and w h e n h e thought the people were grow ing impatient for a declaration he hops on to the branches that Senaton Tillman has never said he would fight, flaps his wings, and softly warbles. He is for local option, with State control. and for local self government, that does not permit the people to choose the system of control best adapted to their environ ments. We are not criticizing these gentlemen with the purpose of recording opposition, but merely to give our impressions of their letters to the public. Both dec larations from Senator Manning and Mr. Ansel, are in our opin ion, not the utterancesof leaders for present conditions, we want the State to "Give us men: Men-from every rank, Fresh and free and frank: Men of thought and reading, Men of light and breeding, Men of faith and not of faction. Men of loftv aim in action; Give us men!" Newberry county. the home of Chairman Hub Evans and "I-am -a-gentleman" Cole Blease, voted out the dispensary yesterday three to one. Japan whipped Russia in bat tle, but Russia whipped Japan in diplomacy. The war is over, and Russia did not have to pay a dollar of indemnity. President Roosevelt is receiv - ing great praise for his success ful efforts in ending the war be tween Russia and Japan. He lives under a lucky star. Tne News and Courier's ex change editor is very careless in handling the clippings from other papers and every now and then credits THE MANNING TIMES with editorials that not only never appeared in its col umns, but they are contrary to the views of THE TIMES.- In this morning's issue there ap pears an editorial under the head "Too soon to talk" and credited to this paper which did not appear in THE TIMES, nor is it endorsed by us. There is more Catarrh in this section of the cuntry than all other diseases put together. and until the last few years wats supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pro nounced it a local disease. and prescribed local remedies. and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional dis ease, and therefore requires constitutional treat ment. HalIrs Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.. Toledo. Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoon ful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hun dred dollars for aniy case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address, F. J. CHENEY & CO.. Toledo. 0. Sold by druggists. 75c. Halrs Famiily Pills are the best.

Younge of SuInerton aided our pastor last week in a series of meetings at this place. Mr. Yongue was well impressed with our choir and commended it highly. We were much.gratified at the ClO quence and tone of the speeches at Cole's mill last Friday, and it was a great pleasure to have THE TimES edi tor again mingling with his old friendz. Mr. Ed Brown, one of Mannumgs clever young gentlemen, was here and the girls are anxious for him to come back. He must have said something nice to them. One of the Mutual boys was over here and we heard he was plunderm n. about hunting his kinswoman, Mrs. B., but the lady staid at home to do some. patch work on my pants, so that I could go to preaching with a sack coat on. There was a charming lady from Sumter basking in the sunshine of the smiles of the boys. She is a beauty. and I belieye she knows it. Mr. Editor, did you observe how limber-legged a certain widower was? Why, he is a masher from Masherville or Turbeville one. This widower had as much enjoyment "chewin' de raz" with the girls, as the editor of TiE TIMES seemed to have wvith the many pieces of barbecue he got away with. "Old Pope Moore" got busy distrib uting warehouse circulars and the way he did blow about what the People's would do this season was a plenty. B. It Made Him Shake. I wish to say a word in praise of Dr. King's Improved Chill and Fever Tonic. I had chills for one year con tinually, and tried all the chill tonics I could get and also doctor's prescrip tions, but all failed to cure. Part of one bottle entirely cured me, and have not had chills since. 1 recommend only King's. T. F. Howard. Sold by Dr. W. E. Browne & Co. Sunday School Celebration. Editor The Manning Times: The Sundav school at the Freewill Baptist church at. Johnson's X Roads in Salem had its annual celebration on last Saturday. Quite a large crowd was present.

After the exercises were over Mr. R. E. Smith introduced in very litting terms J. McSwain Woods, Esq.. who was invited to deliver the address on this occasion. Mr. Woods made as usual a very impressive speech, and re ceived,"as he deserved, the approval and congratulations of his many friends. After the dinner hour was over Mr. R. E. Smith in his usual way spoke for some time upon the sacredness of the Place of Worship. He spoke with feeling giving to the young people ad vice that they might well seriously ponder over. Rev. Stephens was then introduced and made a very interesting talk, im pressing upon those present the great necessity of having a thriving Sunday school. S. Young Again. Mr. J. L. Grimes, Thomasville, said: "After recovering from a spell of fever my system was run down, and for three months I did not work. The first bottle of Dr. King's Kidney and Liver Remedy set me to going.

Au Enjoyable Evening, Editor The Manning Times The young people here were delight fully entertained last Wednesday eve ning at the home of the Misses Des Champs. in honor of Miss Anne Lou Smith of Chester.
