THE CRY OF STOP THIEF.
That was a terrible tongue
lashing Senator Hopkins admin
isfered to Senator Tillman the
other day in the senate, but the
Illinois Senator didn't do a thing
but, play into the South Caro
linians hands when he charged
him with the disfranchisement
of negroes. Necessity is thel
mother of invention and it was ne
cessity that invent the means to
ensure white supremacy inSouth
Carolina. This was obtained be
fore Tillman became a political
factor in this State. It began
when Hampton headed the col
umn. of red shirts and swore "By
the eternal God I will be Gov
ernor." Then followed McCready
of Charleston with his eight box
la*and our registration system.
Tillman, up to then, was un
known and unheard of, the bat
tle was fought and won before he
came on the stage of action.Four
teen years later and with white
supremacy firmly fixed, Tillman
.caie along, and securing con
troldrove off those who bore the
brunt and heat of battle, and he,
and'his friends called a consti
tutional convention, which was
made up of Tillman's friends and
foes; it was in this conven
tion our present suffrage system
was engrafted in the fundamen
tal-law. We, therefore, cannot
see why Tillman s h o ul d be
chi-ged with disfranchising ne
groes when they were disfran
chised before Tillman was po
litically born. -
Tillmanassumest he credit how
ever,and enjoys being acknowl
edged as the author of negro
disfranchisement, and whenever
a Northern or a Western Sena
tor twits him with the charge,he
uniitentionally strengthens Till
man at home. Those who know
why..the negro is not allowed the
ballot in this State do not blush
-w h-e-n our Representative is
charged with the crime (?)
There are other things Sena
tor Hopkins might hurl at the
-South~ Carolina Senator which
would be more effective than
throwing up Tillman's "we shoot
'em and we burn 'em" utterances;
while our senior senator is as
suming the role of moral monitor
forf the whole country, clean
sing the corruption from the na
tional banks, railroads and other
thisigs 'too numerous to men
tion,he. s h o u 1d be reminded
.to not neglect the accummu
lated filth before his own door.
There are stacks of corruption
in South Carolina needing the
proeds of the pitch fork, and these
pile~ are of long standing. Give
them "long nosed yankees" fits
set@of 'but do not foi get that
rocks play havoc with crystal
palaces.
--WEY HEL.P STEAI.?
TiieVote on the subsidy bill
for. the Southern railroad was
-very close, in the House, but it
passed, and it is now in the
Senate.' Senator Tillman said it
was nothing but a steal, buIt it
wa-a- steal that comes our .way
andts~ will vote for it. If it is a
ste~aas the Senator says, why
be ( party to the steal? Senator
Lajim-ner will also vote for it, be
cause he says, his people want
himi to. The people want Sena
tor.:-Latimer to vote for a subsidy
to a rairoad company, and yet
when John L. McLaurin inti
mated he favored a subsidy to
end'durage American shipping,
so.'that that the product of the
Soiahern farmer might find
mere markets and cheaper
freight facilities, both Tillman
and Latimer ~charged him with
going' over to the enemy and
being a Republhcan.
We do not know whether a
subsidy for the Southern rail
road is a steal or not, or what
interest Senator Tillman has in
* that -corporation. or if he has
any, but we do know that Sena
tor Latimer has a son, who grad
uated at law, ,and without hay
ingpleaded a case in a court of
law, was given a lucretive posi
tion in the, law department of
th4 Southern railroad with
headquarters at Atlanta, and it
was this same Latimer whose
political stock-in-trade was the
denunciation of corporations.
It is iust such conduct as this
whioh cr-eates distrust. The very
melf who could not find language
too strong to arouse the "com
mon people" against mighty cor
porations now voting to aid
them, one acknowledging it a
steal-, the other says nis people
want him to vote that way. Bah!

time last Monday night chasing

Hobson of Merrimac fame, and
the champion smacker in the
Union, has received the nomina
tion in one of the. Alabama dis
tricts for congress. Hobson is
a great believer in a greater na
vy, and we suppose the exten

by.
The destruction of San Fran
ciso and other cities in California
is so appalling that pen cannot
describe it, the mind can hardly
conceive its full meaning. We
may theorize, but we can never
understand. The loss of life
was fearful, many a one went to
bed the night before in the full
enjoyment of health, and never
awoke, others awoke to face
Judgment. The amount of prop
erty destroyed will exceed $300,
000,000. This havoc was for
some wise purpose we believe.
We should like very much to
be able to have the schools of
Clarendon County well repre
sented in the San Francisco re
lief fund. Let every teacher,
white and colored, take this mat
ter up and by our next issue,
send to THE TIMES a good con
tribution to be forwarded. The
same is urged upon every com
munity in this county. People,
this is a plea for suffering hu
manity. Thousands are without
shelter and without food. Every
body can give a little, and every
little counts. The columns of
this paper will record the names
of the donors to this humane
cause.
A letter from Hon. Geo. S.
Legare who is resting at Pick
ens, brings the glad intelligence
that his health is improving
rapidly, "getting well, improv
ing daily; sleep well at night,
good appetite and cough almost
entirely gone." There has been
considerable anxiety- about Mr.
Legare's condition. He con
tracted a severe case of grip in
Washington, and it was feared it
would result seriously, but he
is better, and is watching after
the interests of South Carolina
in his mountain retreat almost
as well as if he were in Wash
ington. It is our earnest hope
his great usefulness will go on
unchecked.
Dr. Sampson Pope died at his
home in Newberry last Sunday
night. He was a man of fine
ability, and he was one of the
main pillars in the Reform move
ment. He. did more and got less
than any of the original signers
of the Shell manifesto. His bad
treatment from the -Reform1
leaders, and his disappointment
caused him to leave the Demo -
cratic party, become an Indepen
dent, and later a Republican. It
is said that he was such a strong
partisan, that when the dispen
sary law was passed, he slipped
the bill under his shirt, jumped
into a carriage and hurried it to
the governor's mansion for Till
man's signature, fearing all the
time that something would hap
pen to the bill before it became
a law. Two years later he was
one of the bitterest opponents of
the dispensary in the state. Not
withstanding his bitter partisan
ship,he was regarded honest and
sincere. He was an enthusiast.
It will be gratifying indeed to
those who followed Hampton in
1876, and helped him to drive
the money changers from the
temple, to know that Hon. Leroy
F. Youmans, who is now filling
out the unexpired term of the
lamented U. X. Gunter, as At
torney General, has consented to
become a candidate for this posi
tion requiring the best of legal
talent. General Youmans, is not
only a most profound lawyer,
but sa man of the highest integ
ity, and in our judment, South
Darolina will do herself proud in
electing him to the office. It
should be known that General
Youmans was among the law
yers, who attended the United
States Courts and pleaded with
out pay, for those who were be
ing persecuted for the part they
played in capturing this govern
ment from the horde of plun
derers then in control. Let the
entire State show gratitude to
this man by making him Attor
ney General.
The Democratic clubs are to
assemble next Saturday to elect
delegates to the county conven
tion. It is the duty of every
white tax payer to take an inter
est n the selection of delegates
to the county convention. It is
at the club meetings where the
foundation for good or bad gov
ernment is laid; if the taxpayers
do not interest themselves, the
spoilsmen will have the making
of, and handling of the party ma
ahinery. If corruption gets into
bhe government, and results in
incompetent officers, bad roads,
mnd high taxes, it is because of
indifference on the part of the
axpayer at the very beginning.
I'urn out next Saturday, .elect
ood men to the county conven
ion, and be sure to get one of
vour best men on the executive
~ommittee. '-if the county con
vention is m'ade up of the right

will also be, and'7the party ma

Tim TMzs readers hare not
forgotten how this newspaper
arraigned the fertilizer and cot
ton oil mill trusts, and contend
ed they were violators of the
law. Our arguments did not
then have the effect of directing
the attention of the law officers
to these trusts, and they went
on there way rejoicing in their
work of grinding the people.
Justice, however, is about to
overtake them, the United States
g-overnment is soon to begin
proceedings before the grand
jury at Nashville, Tenn. The
agents of the department of jus

in South Carolina alone upwards
of $9,00,000 worth of fertilizer.
It is against the law to form a
combination which will prevent

Editor The Manning Times:
I want to say to those who did not
see the game of ball here Tuesday of
last week. they missed something
good. It was a contest between the
fats and the leans.
Fats: E. P. Briggs, 1b; C. M. Davis,
2b; J. W. Lesesne, ss; W. 0. Johnson,
3b; Doctor Platt, p; W. S. Rhame, rf;

H. C. Carrigan, Jr., 3b; Dr. T. J. Davis,
p; Walter Plowden, ss: L. R. Chew
ning, rf; L. T. Covington. c: T. S.
Rogan, cf.
Business suspended, even the drug
stores closed for the game; the crowc.
was large, including trany ladies, an.
all laughed enough to last a mont i.
Chief Briggs discovered he could not
hit the ball, claimed the pitcher
did not know which side of him was
front, and he got his bases on balls.
Senator Davis did a circus stunt be
tween third base and home plate, and
scored. Mr. Joe Broadway warned
the basemen to get out of his way or he
would run over them. Mayor Z&nyth
made it around the diamond on badly
thrown balls, and came home on spavin
ed legs. Mr. Vernon Scarborough
made a double play. Mr. Mannmng
Richardson got a finger out of repair,
but be did not complain. He can take
t to his girl to nurse. Mr. T. S. Rogan,
from the way he can "line 'em out,"
was a good player "befo de war." Mr.
John Lesesne tripped, fell flat on
the ground, going forwards, and he
ad no rubber shield on either, but he
ounced all the same.
Mr. S. L. Krasnoff made the crowd
hake when in the fifth inning he sug
ested to send up town for some more
fools cap paper to record the scores;
omeone else suggested to use the
round.
The game was greatly enjoyed, and
the score was as follows: Fats, 26;
eans, 16. It has been arranged to
have another game between the Fats
nd Leans on May 3rd, and the whole
ountry is invited. The players will be:
Fats: C. M. Davis, E. P. Briggs, W.
Johnson, 0. G. Keels, S. M. Col
ough, M. D. Wells, Doctor Platt, Jno.
W. Lesesne, J. W. Broadway.
Leans: W. H. Anderson, L. T. Coy
ington, R. B. Smyth, H. C. Carrigan,
fr., Ellison Capers, Jr., T. S. Rogan,
. R. Chewning, Willie McCleary.

last Sunday here with their pa
rents, Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Brunson.
Last Monday about two o'cloc k, a
in., the alarm of fire was sounded. It
turned out to be a shop and a dwelling
belonging to Jim Brunson, and before
it was stopped the fire consumed five
buildings occupied by colored people.
It was only by .he most heroic efforts
that the Summerton Grocery Co.'s
large stores were saved; also the dwell
ing occupied by George Joseph. Three
buildings were damaged. The people
respa' ded to the alarm and all worked
faithfully.
This correspondent has read the de
fense of Messrs Legare and Roosevelt
on the part of the News & Courier with
onsiderable interest and surprise,since
we did not know before that the pres
ent representative of the first Congres
sional district is so very intimate with
the Republican President. During
the coming campaign, we understand
that Mr. J. J. Cantey will advocate a
regular schedule of steamers to and
from the port of Charleston, drainage
of lands throughout the first Congres
sional district, the immigration of a
good class of white people into the dis
trict, the encouragement and diversi
fication of trucking and farming inter
ests, and there is no question- that tihe
Federal Government can and should
foster these industries. We need at the

We are all busy over here at this
time, but notwithstanding this the
Times must not be overlooked.
The farmers have their work fairly
well up, merchants are hauling quan
tities of goods, and it is reported that
Messrs Shaw & Chandler have bought
a lot near the Alcolu railroad at this
place and this fall they will have a new
store on the modern order.
New Zion-is coming. The prospects
are that in the course of a few years
New Zion will be the second largest
town in the county. No town has a
better surrounding than New Zion,
good lands,' thrifty farmers. schools,
churches, health, and the finest ar
tesian water, all to induce people to
come here and live.
The is another characteristic of our
people, they are public spirited, and
lend their aid to any and all things
which go to building up the country,
but at the same time they are not ex
treme and take no stock in extremists.
We have over here, like they have in
every community a few who are ex
treme in their views upon 'matters po
litical but these do not voice the senti
ments of many, in fact, the extremests
are usually men who have some selfish
object and the people know it. Edu
cation has made our people indepen
dent and the demagogue is about out
of business.
In one of my letters I stated that Mr.
Ed Fleming was about to embark in
the livery business, but I understand
he has changed his mind and will take
up the profession of photographing.
Success to you Ed.
Our ad-joining town. Turbeville, has
imbibed the bustling spirit. and there
is quite a large business done there.
I see where the editor of THE TIES
is accused of being "B". This is not
the first time I have heard the editor
so accused, and really it makes me feel
proud to think that my humble ideas
are taken for one who has distinguished
himself in newspaper work. B lives
and has his being at New Zion. He
does not sign his name in full because
he is not disposed to gratify idle curi
osity, should he however, feel called
upon to make a personal attack then
his letter will come over his full signa
ture,but never to humor a class of men
who imagine they are the embodiment
of wisdom and influence,when the truth
is, they neither represent wisdom or
anybody but themselves, and always
wanting something. This misrepre
sentation of B is not altogether ignor
ance. because some who are charging
the TnIES editor with being B. know
the charge is false. It does not matter
however, B will continue writing for
the Times, and whenever there is a
news item he can find, THE TLvES will
surely get it, and whenever a man un
dertakes to sow seeds of prejudice I
shall endeavor to express the opinion
of the people of this section regardless
of what this or that man might say or
think. B.

Dear Mr. Appelt:
I note today your item in THE MAN
ING TIES with reference to the con
viction and the sentence to death of
oclough Stukes for the killing of
David Wells. I have read the charge
f Stukes to the effect that I deser-ted
is case and I note also the statement
f Solicitor Wiison upon the subject.
beg space in your paper to explain
the situation as follows: In the month
f July 1905, Stukes was convicted of
the aforesaid murder in the city of
Sumter and as his Attorney I appealed
the case to the Supreme Court; on the
30th day of January following the case
was called up for argument before the
Supreme Court and twenty days were
allowed by the Court within which to
file arguments; within the said twenty
days 1 had the argument printed at my
wn expense and same was filed with
the Clerk of the supreme Court within
the said twenty days and Solicitor Wil
son went with me from Manning to the
State House in Columbia, where at the
time the arguments were filed, and I
also informed Mr. Wilson at the time
the purpose of my trip; the State had
already filed arguments and the de
ision of the Supreme Court in the final
nalysis was based on all the law and
the facts, as can be learned at any time
From Mr. Pope, the Chief Justice. In
stead of deserting the interest of my
~lient I paid a portion of the expc
f the appeal. Furthermore, wh
Fore all the damnable vagueness, wI

A baseball team for Sumter this sum
mer is now ah assured 'thing. Last
night in the parlors of the Elks' club
representatives from Georgetown, Dar
lington, Camden and Manning met and
organized the South Carolina State
League. The league will consist of
six clubs and will begin to play about
the middle of June and the season will
last ten weeks. The other club will
be from either Florence, Orangeburg
or Kingstree.
The officers elected were: Mr. C. S.
McCollough of Darlington, president
and Mr. H. S. Beard of Darlington,
secretary and treasurer. It was con
sidered expedient to have both officers
from the same city.
Each visiting team is to receive $40
for each game played, and when pre
vented by rain or othar cause,the team
will receive but $20. The salary limit
agreed upon was $500 per month. The
delegates will meet again in Sumter on
the 15th of next month to arrange a
schedule of games and to adopt rules
and regulations governing the league.
The other club will also be admitted
on that occasion.
The delegates present were: Mr. R.

Dr. Clarendon Barron Takes a Columbia Bride
At 8 o'clock Thursday evening. at
the home of the bride's parents, Mr.
and Mrs. E. M. Brayton, Miss Marion
Paine Brayton and Dr. C. W. Barron
were married by the Rev. H. I. Judd.
The wedding was carried on the old
fashioned idea of the rainbow colors
and was very beautiful. The hall and
supper room were a mass of dogwood
blossoms, equisitely arranged. The
parlor, where the ceremony took place,
was fragrant with beautiful white
Easter lilies.
The bridesmaids' dresses, made in
graceful princess style, were of softsilk
mull and they carried shower bouquets
of asparagus fern. In the following or
der they entered the parlor, each wear
ing her most becoming color.
Miss Sarah Smith, in blue; Miss Luel
la Hathaway, in yellow; Miss Agnes
Civil, in pink; Miss Pearl Bunch, in
green, and Miss Eleanor McQueen, in
lavender.
After them came the dame of honor,
Mrs. R. C. Chappel, of Providence. Her
gown was a creation of shimmering
aeolin cloth, with an elaborate jacket
of pearl passementerie. Against this
her armful of pink carnations was most
effective.
Following the dame of honor came
the maid of honor, Miss Jane Bonneau,
wearing a lovely dress of -white lace and
carrying ai exquisite bouquet of Easter
lilies.
Last of all appeared the lovely bride
on the arm of her father. The bridal
dress was of glistening white messaline
made with a full court train and trim
med elaborately with duchess lace. The
full tulle veil was caught on the hair
with-a spray of orange blossoms. The
bride's bouquet was a shower bouquet
of white roses and fern, cascaded with
white gauze ribbon. 'Atthe Easter lily
alter the bride was met by the groom,
Dr. C. W. Barron, on the arm of his
best man; Mr. Edward Barron. Behind
them stood the five ushers, Messrs, Wil
liam Smith, Frank Barron, William
McCaw,- Frank Tompkins and Alex
Ginguard
After the ceremony elaborate refresh
ments were served and during the mer
r-making the young couple slipped
away, to go North on their bridal tour.

Finnish Marriage Fetes.
Marriage fetes in Finland, as in Nor
way, are often prolonged for several
days, even among folk of humble rank.
One peculiarity, which may excite more
surprise than approval among eligible
suitors In our own country, Is that the
Finnish lover never himself "pops the
question" to the girl of his choice. The
momentous proposal Is made through a
third person, called the "talman," to
whom the happy couple give a present
when his delicate mediation proves suc
cessful and ends In a wedding. Not un
commonly their gift to the talman takes
the unromantic form of a shirt
In like manner the clergyman who
presides over the nuptial service re
ceives a simple and inexpensive pres
ent, often a handkerchief and a pair of
warm hair gloves. A similar gift Is be
stowed upon the officiating priest at
funerals. Tlpon these mournful occa
eons the service is exceedingly simple
-more so than would satisfy the views
of British undertakers-but the burial
is, as a rule, followed by large ho.,gital
Ity on the part of the bereaved family.

It with a pound of water at zero, or

Now take another pound of water at

result Is that we have two pounds ot

Throat Coughs
A tick~ling in the throat;
hoarseness attimes; adeep
breath irritates it;-these
are features of a throat
cough. They're very de
ceptive and a cough mix
ture won't cure them.
You want something that
will heal the inflamed
membranes, enrich the.
blood and tone up the
system .' .- .' ..
Scott's Emulsion
is just such a remedy.
It has wonderful healing
and nourishing power.
Removes the cause of
the cough and the whole

A Freiztozic Monnitent.
In southern California, In the county
of San Luis Obispo, there is situated
one of the most remarkable prehistoric
monuments known to the archaeolo
gists. From a distance It looks like an
immense rock rising from the plains of
Carissa, but upon hearer approach it
is seen to be a temple of extraordinary
dimensions and of unknown antiquity.
The inner court has a level floor 225
feet long and 125 feet wide, and the
ceiling is from 60 to 100 feet high, ac
cording to situation. The building was
evidently used by prehistoric man, but
for' what purpose and how long since
no one knows. It has been suggested,
however, thatit was either a temple of
worship or the capitol of some ancient
government. The walls and portions
of the ceiling are beautifully decorated
with paintings in colors red, white and
black, many of them supposed to have
some symbolic meaning.
Christmns In England.
When Cromwell ruled England he is
sued an edict against all festivities at
Christmas. The festival was altogetly
er abolished, and the displaying of hol
ly and mistletoe and other emblems of
the happy time was held to be sedi
tious. In 1644 the long parliament
commanded that Christmas day shoUld
be observed as a strict fast, when all
people should think over and deplore
the great sin of which they and their
forefathers had been guilty t making
merry at that season. This act so pro
voked the people that on the following
natal day the law was violently re
sisted in many places. Though these
scenes were disgraceful, they served
their purpose and put an end to an un
just order. When Charles II. regained
the throne the vpulace once more
made Christmastide a time of rejoic
ing.
The Great Bea of Ware.
In Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night"
Sir Toby Belch urges Sir Andrew Ague
cheek to pen a challenge and to put In
it "as many lies as will lie in the sheet
of paper, although the sheet were big
enough for the bed of Ware." This
enormous bed, which was a wonder In
Shakespeare's time and still exists In
Ware, is seven feet six inches high and
ten feet nine inches square, so that
twelve people can lie comfortably in it
Beautifully carved, it is a splendid
specimen of antique furniture, dating
from the days of Queen Elizabeth,
This wonderful bed is naturally an ob
ject of curiosity and interest to many
visitors. In the same room there hung
a pair of horns, upon which all stran
gers formerly were sworn.
