THE MANNING AND ANSEL LETTERS.
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!"

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.

Editor TheMauning Times:
Rev. J. C. 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.

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. The exeicises were very
interesting and instructive and showed
marked improvment over any formally
held. The address of welcome was
made by Rev. Castine in an appropri
ate speech.
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. I used threeI
bottles, and am now as stout as when
a young man." See Dr. W. E. Brown
& Co. about it.
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. The Misses Des
Champs are to be highly compliment
ed on their charming manner of enter
taining. The most interesting feature
of the evening was a " Shakespearen
Romance," Mr. George Tindal being
the successful prize winner.
After refreshments were served
in a most delightful way by Miss Lalla
DesChamps and Mr. Wayne Elliott we
were entertained so sweetly by music,
furnshed by Mr. Johnnie Barwick of
Paxville on violin accompanied by Miss
Bessie DesChamps on guitar. The
music being available.
When the sweet strains of "HomeI
Sweet Home" fell upon our ear, we
realized the hour for departure had
come, each leaving with ~a beautiful
souvenir as a long remembrance of a
most enjoyable evening.
