There must be a cause for thisbecause the rule has been that people were anxious to know who would represent them in the law-making body of the State, but this year they will not interest themselves sufficiently to make the effort to induce the proper material-men that are not political time-serv ers who become candidates to gratify cheap vanity, but men who are public spirited and are always identified with those things which look to the better ment of the peoples condition the class of men who can be counted upon, to aid in a move ment for the general good, and which requires sacrifices both in time and money, are' the very class that should be invited into the field of political -action, es pecially when the conditions are as now. Men who work for the public welfare in our industrial and commercial affairs do not ex pect any other reward than that which comes out of their suc cess, when the general public is also benefitted; these are the true patriots, and they would, if brought to the front, bring bus iness sense into our political af fairs and once more have us rep resented as an intelligent people deserve to be. We would not give one good public-spirited citizen who is al ways trying to do something for the public good, for a dozen bi ennial wind-jammers who have nothing but promise and gab, and that only when there is an office in sight. These biennial wind-jammers are never known to have a part in a movement for the public good,theyarenoteven heard of in matters which re quire brain and money with no recompense--they simply never hear a call for 'anything except office. It is high time the peo ple were looking around for more substantial timber. It is to their interest to do so, The farmers, merchants, and bankers un dertook a great scheme, which, in our opinion, is the greatest enterprise the peo ple of the South ever engaged in. The beauty of it is that it was an alliance of all interests, * and for the first time in a- half century 'the farmer, merchant and bankei- had his shoulder to the same wheel. The move ment accomplished much, and although things are not as bright at this time as many had hoped. the cause is easily found. The reason the movement has not succeeded in getting for our far mers the price determined upon, is that the organization was not -given a unanimous support. There were some of our largest planters and landowners who did not give it encouragement, but -by their refusal to work with it, they impliedly fought it, and strengthened the speculator who was doing his utmost to hold the farmer in subjection. Ask yourselves in this county, who are the men who would have -nothing to do with the cotton as sociation, follow these men up closely and you will see they ac tually put obstacles in the way of the organization's success; some of them did not have time to attend a meeting to encourage the farmer in his fight, but found lots of time in the future specu lating room,aidingPrice in press ing the price of cotton down; fol low on and see if any of these men are going to ask you to elect them to some office, if you find such asking for your suf frages remember them; they would not help you -when you were making the fight for exist ance, you should not help them now when they want an office. The State of South Carolina is now in - a condition that those who wrested her from the grasp of the Radicals never contem plated ever again finding her. The most horrifying con dition of debauchery, thiev ery and lawlessness is fast sapping her, and unless the peo ple awake from their apathy and call upon men of brain and pa triotisma to come to the rescue, there is no telling how much deeper in disgrace the State will go. If conditions are not bettered soon every man who owns a piece of land will realize the pen alty-for his not using his right of suffrage intelligently,when he goes to pay his taxes. The prom ises of politicians are easily made, but are they kept? We wouldI urge the good men of this coun a ty to cast about in their' respec tive communities, find a man who "does things," unselfishly for the public good, and urge him to become a candidate for the legislature. He may not be able to make an eloquent s-peech, but if he has been a success with his own affairs and is willing to respond to a call for nublic betterment, he is the ind of man needed. He is the nan who will put our affairs up )n a business bases, give our chools a boost, legislate for Load improvements and give us i financial system which will in sure an economical administra bion of public affairs, and bring the country out of the slough of of despondency. Senator Tillman made himself popular with the masses bg de fying the politicians. He did this in the State, and he follow ed the same course in the United States Senate, but those who ape him have made a miserable failure of the job. Why? They were not sincere, and were merely place-hunters seeking to take ddvantage of the popular breeze. Tillman has more re spect and confidence in those who honestly differed from him on various questions, and who gave him credit for those things they believed right. than he has for the sycophants who sneeze when ever he takes snuff merely for personal advantage. We know of men who hate Till man like they do a rattle snake, but when they are seeking office they hold him up as their political guide. Such are of the "git thar Eli" mould, but they do not last lways. if Georgia and North Carolina -an successfully conduct a dis pensary system by county con trol, why cannot South Carolina Io likewise? The county dis pensaries in both of our adjoin ing States have been conducted under the local option, system, for a number of years without scandal, but South Carolina has a State system which is reeking with scandal. We want those who are advo cating the State dispensary to tell the people why it is that so many of the public .schools had to close earlier this year for a lack of funds. Where did the money go? Then let them ex plain why it is that with the large increase of funds into the treasury from the liquor sales, the taxes are higher now than before the dispensary was es tablished. These are questions which are of interest and which the public should know. The time is at hand when men should be chosen to represent a people, not because of personal popularity-a personally popu lar man may make himself agreeable with his neighbors and be totally unfit for legisla tive duties. Do not select a man to vote for because you like him, or because he happens to be a neighbor or a jolly good fel low, but make your selection of a man whom you believe is qual ified to meet the present condi tions even if yot do not fancy him personally. -The Gotton Trade Journal, published in Savannah, Ga., of June 30, says Harvie Jordan has organized a $15,000.000 company to be known as the "Cotton Stalks Product Company." As we un derstand it, this company pro poses to utilize cotton stalks for the manufacture of paper,'- thus making an additional market product for cotton growers. The Journal, however proceeds to skin Jordan for the organiza tion of this company, but then the Journal 'has always leaned towards the cotton Bears. and has not given Jordan's cotton association much aid. We shall wait for further developments before we can say whether the stalks concern will help the cot ton farmer. At present it looks favorable. There Is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be nouncd it a oca diseae and prescribed loca] remedies. and by constantly failing to cure with loal treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science eae andthereorerequiresconstituto tiat ment, .Ialrs Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market- It is taken inernal ia doses from 10drops to a teaspoon. sfaesl o t an sys t.Te a offer one hun Adressar a.J CEE & CO., Toledo. 0. Ha~ Familu ll rethe best. The suggestion has been made, and under present. condi tions, we think it warranted, that candidates for the Senate and Lower House of Representa tives be required to state dis tinctly their positions upon the liquor question, and the best way to do this, in our opinion, is over their signatures in the county newspapers. It is deplor able that circumstances demand a plain straight forward avowal upon this question, but the con dition is here, and no candidate for the general assembly should be permitted to side-track it. The reason for this require ment is clear. The next general assembly will have to settle the liquor control system in some way, and every man who aspires to represent the people should make his position known in a manner that he cannot be mis understood. Therefore we say, as a matter of fairness, every candidate for legislative honors should publish a statement of his position, that the people may read it at their leisure. in their homes to enable them to reach a conclusioni. Seine may contend it is sufilcientior a- man to state his position~on the stump, we do not think:" so, because at the meetings there is but little time given for speeches, and necessa rily the speakers cannot make themselves as explicit as they should. and then too, it leaves room for misunderstanding and wrong construction. Bears the ~ The Kimi You Havue Always Bought Turbeville Sparks. Editor The Manning Times: It is a certain fact that Turbe ville is to have a bank in the near future. One has been need ed here for somtime and we are glad that such is to be had, for with a good bank here the place will begin to grow more rapidly. The capital stock is $15,000, and Mr D. E. Turbeville who is work ing it up, has already secured the greater number of shares. A brick building has been plan ned and it will be sometime -be fore it will be opened up foi business. We still continue to have rain and the crops in this section are looking bad from so much of it. Some of the corn and cotton has taken on a reddish tint, but the grass still holds its own. Mr. F. W. Truluck, the noted and popular singiig master, was seen here last week trying tc work up a singing school at this place. Mr. Truluck has taught here before and we would be glad if his services could be pro. cured again, for he not only has a splendid voice but is a compe tent teacher. Miss Pearl Whittle has left foi the summer. Before returning she will visit at Pinewood.Saluda and Bishopville. Dr. W. H. Woods ard Mr. D. E. Turbeville spent a few days of last week in Sumter. Miss Julia Benton is visiting relatives at this place. Mr. R. F. Morris has accept ed a position with Clark's Ware house in Manning and will leave on or about the 15th to begin his work there. Misses Rosa Coker and Linda Turbeville are visiting their friend, Miss Lacy Hicks, at Nev Zion. Rev. L. L. Bedenbaugh. whc for sometime has been unable tc preach on account of ill health, again occupied the pulpit at Shi loh and Nazareth Sunday. The Manning base ball fan. over here are sick and sore. I1 seems to us that the Mannins team would make a mistake anc win a game sometime. Probabl3 it is due to too many mistake. already that causes them t( loose so often. They should have Morris, our crack pitcher oi their pitching staff. G. It has caused more iaughs and drie more tears, wiped away diseases ani driven away more fears than any othe medicine in the world. Hollister Rocky Mountain Tea 35 cents, Tea o Tablets. Dr. W. E.

I have recently heard some o our population longing for a vis it from Miss Mallie Kennedy o Manning to this place, 'she i popular here, and a visit fror her has been booked, we hopa she will not . disappoint thes< chaps. Misses Marion Hicks and Lil: Lavender of this place, and Mis Itasca Turbeville. of Turbeville are doing a noble work; they ar going about visiting the sicb and taking with them thos, things which cheer the sick, an' give him hope. They are labor ing in a holy cause. Dr. Hagood Woods made a fly ing trip to Sumter last week. 'rie W. 0. W. Camp No. 32 was installed last Thursda; nmghtMr. Watson of Darlington and W. Jasper Turbeville c Turbeville officiated. It was: hot time. The young men here got; scare when they read Buster' letter from Pinewood mention ing Miss Pearl Whittle, an< which spoke of her as Mrs. in stead of Miss. These fellow thought she had gone and don it sure, but they know bette now. and put the blame on you type setter. We all look forwari to Buster's letters with muc] concern and interest. He give us so much interesting ne .vs in; breezy style. There was a picnic at Gibbon' mill Friday, it was enjoyed b; those who attended, but th' crowd was not as large as wa expected owing to some confr sion in the date. There was pres ent two prospective candidates but no speeches were made, fo all of which let us be thankful. B. A Fine Opportunity for a Young Man.
