Entred at the Postomice at Manning as See o-id ( ms matter. LOCAL OLTION. There seems to be a iisunder standing on the part of some. as to what local option means. The opposition endeavors to mislead the people into believing that local option means a return to the barroom system. They know that the State constitution for bids barrooms, and their return is an impossibillity. Local option means nothing more nor less than the giving the people the right to choose their own system of liquor control: if the people of a county-a majority of them are opposed to the sale of liquor, they can record that opposition at the ballot box, gnd have its sale done away with, on the other hand, if in the judgement of the majority the legal sale of liquor can be operated better than'pro hibition, it gives them. tne right to say so,. and have a County dis pensary owned and controlled by the county, and whatever profits the concern makes, the whole of it goes into our county treasury, to be expended upon our schools, streets, roads. bridges, juries and all other matters for which the td{xpayers are called upon to pay. It is our sincere opinion that public sentiment is not strong enougi at this time to enforce prohib on, but it is growing, and unless the public sentiment is strong enough to enforse pro hibition, then, as a matter of practical judgement, we should take the next best thing, which in our opinion is the County dis pensary system, providing a majority want such a system. The business emptymng its whole profits into our County treasury, will be, safe-guarded by the peo ple the same as any other county office. There is a principle in volved in local option,-a demo cratic principle, that is, the great principle of the Reform move ment of 1890, which was so suc cessfully led by B. R. Tillman the right of home rule and local self govermgnt. In the stirring days of 1890, Tillman appealed to the people to rise and break the shackles of political serfdom, that they were Being ruled by an oligarchy, and deprived of the liberty to express their wishes at the polls. The people rose and with mighty force swep1 the "oligarchy" out of power and the coveted primary system was given to us; whet - the history is written B. R. Till muan will be credited with being the leader which gave the masses the liberty they craved, and nov that we lenjoy this great privi: lege, why should we' be curtailec in its exercise? We are g-iver the privilege of voting upon our selves taxes for educational pur poses, then why not let the peo ple who have the burden to bear have the privilege of expressing at the ballot box, whether they want the sale of whiskey doni away with, or taken under county control? If the people decide to take th dispensary under county control the only difference will be, tha instead of dividing the profit with the State as now, the entiri trofits will remain at home. Th4 whole matter resolves itself int< purely a gr estion of business pol icy, and there is no reason to b< misled by fallacious or specious arguments, neither is there an: use to impugn the motives o: 'others who desire the privileg< to express themselves upon thi: much agitated question. We re cognize and concede that man: of the advocates of the State dis pensary are sincere as we claim to be, therefore if we judge then harshly or impugn their motive would be doing them an injustice they have as much right to diffe from us, as we have from them *It is folly to impugn a man' - democracy because he is oppose< to the State dispensary, an< favors a County dispensary: Local option is a democrati, principle, even Senator Tillma: concedes it, and in a recent speec] Hon. Richard 4I. Monning, on of the dispensary candidates fo governor. recognized the justic of local option when lie sai< -"there should- be some way o voting's out the idispensary ifi becomes obnoxious to a commun ity," which is all the Brice Ac provides for. In this view w< heartily agree with Mr. Man nling, and had he made known sach views in the beginning man: votes now going to Ansel woul in all probability have gone t< Manning. It is a pleasure thia as the campaign is nearing it: end, to find Mr. Manning wit] his eye on the weather vane, an< nestling close up to local option Briefly, local option does no necessarily mean the destructio: of the dispensary, but it mean a ballot seperate and distinct from an election in which men are to be chosen, and by that ballot under majority rule, the people vote whether or not they will have prohibition or dispen sary, and if by a majority vote they decide dispensary, the pur chase of stock, and sales will be controlled by the county, and the entire profits will go into the County treasury. If the majori ty decides for prohibition, then as Democrats all should join in to see that prohibition is enforcd. This is democratic, and in accord - ance with the great Reform prin ciples of majority rule, the most good for the most people. They Both Kick. Editor The Mauning Times: Since you have alluded lo me in your article headed "Have we a guardian" in your last issue as "appearing to be running for the Senate swinging to the coat-tails of C. M. Davis." You will, I presume, do me the justice of permit ting me the use of your columns to say to the people of the county, that as it is asserted by you, Mr. Davis wrote letters to friends in my behalf. I was not aware of it until I read the above arti cle. I am not running under the pat ronage of any man or set of men, and have never done so in my political ex perience, I am stauding on my individ ual merit, and any charge to the con trary is malicious and false. HENRY B. RICHARDSON. Aug. 11, 1906. Summerton, S. C., August 10th. 1906. Editor of Manning Times: Manning, S. C. Dear Sir: I have noted your Editorial in your paper dated the 8th inst., head lined "Have we a Guardian?" You set yourself up as a critic on and because I have written letters advocat ing Major H. B; Richardson's candi dacy for the .Senate. Replying to yon sir, I want to say in the outset, that it is the "hit dog" that alwa::s sets up a howl. Now, Mr. Apelt, inasmuch as you saw fit to criticise my letter, and by insinuation make charges that are absolutely false, common decency would have demanded that the letter be published along with your charges, so that the reading public could have judged whether or not you were trying to put me in a false light. Your dirty insinuation that the letter was written [presume you ment by Major Richard son], and that he was swining on to my coat tail, could only have been conceiv ed in the mind of a political trickster, as you are. for there is not one cintilla in my letter that would warrant any such construction, and I assert most emphatically that there has not been any bargain, understandingorcollusion between Major Richardson and myself as to his candidacy, or in anything else, and that he did not know anything of my having written any letters advocat ing his election, and for your infor mation Mr. Apelt, will state that I wrote the letter without consultation or dictation from any source whatever; did not even ask your consent. You try Ivery hard to drag the Hon. J. W. Kennedy into Ithis controversy, think ing thereby to make a political friend of him, and possibly profit by it. Mr. Apelt., let me disabuse your mind, and set you straight. When I wrote the letter advocating Major Richardson, Mr. Kennedy had not annotnced him self, and the language used, to wit; "you can depend upon whatever plat form or promise Major Richardson makes to the people will be carried out by his vote and influence when elected, and this cannot be said of some of the men who are asking for our votes", does not apply to Mr. Kennedy. whomi I have always found to be a man of a pro. nounced sense of honor and stability. This cap fits you so nicely M r. Apelt, that I cannot but, say that you must wear it alone, as I do not know of another man in the race for any offic~e that it would fit, and who could wear it with as much grace, and strut as big as you could do. You challenge me for the proof. Let's go bac~k eight years. Do you remember that ia the campaign then that you declared on the stump be fore the people at every campaigi meeting that you advocated the dispen. sary as the best solution of the whiskey question? Do you remember that after you were elected, [and if my -memoky serves me right] at the first session d. -the General Assembly, you introduced Sa local option bill? Was this not going back on your promise, or what you hd advocated? The people haven't ftr gotten it if you have, -No doubt you will try to' reconeill [this by saying that you wanted to sub. mit it to the people, and let them decide. You can fool some of the peop~le, bul unless the signs of the times fail, you -will be a little bit wiser after the 28tl of August. As to your request for me to name : legislative ticket, you have got thi coon, and gone on with a voter. Yot have the honor of trying to be the dic, tator and Mogul of Clarendon County' politics. Your allusion to the manner in which I do business with the farmer at Suimmerton, of which you knov nothing, is unworthy of notice, and] answer you by inviting you to come tc Sumerton, and I will furnish you wit] a list of my customers, take you a rounc to everyone of them, and if nine out o: lten do not pronounce your charge --, I promise to plead guilty anc quit business. You say* something about me being afraid to put my little record before the voters for re-election. In repl.) w iould say that my record would prov' Sthat I t er betrayed the trust repose< rin me by constituents, and I feel sur that had'I desired to enter the race foi re-election agair'st you, would~have ha' Sno fear of the results. Inconclusion Mr. Apelt, as ai fret man, I have a right as well as an, Sother citizen of the County, to advocati - by letter or in any other honorabi i w'ay, any candidate I may choose to Snotwithstanding what you say to th contrary. SIn justice to myself and the peopi of Clarendon County, I request tha e you publish the letter that you com -plain of, with this reply to your crit1 cisms and gp1arges. Respectfully, 0.-M. DAVIS. In THE TIMES of 8th inst., I criti Scized C. M. Davis, who is not a candi 1 date, for what I regard an unprece i dented attempt to name a successor ta Sthe office from which he retires, als< for a reflection upon the integrity c Sthose contesting with Major Richard son for the Senatorial honor. Mr IDavis assumes a virtuous indignatioi fand issues a vitriolic reply. This lette was handed me Sunday night upon m; Sreturn from New Zion where I ha< - been to assist in unveiling a monumen t to the memory of a deceased 'brothe: SWoodman. My office force has more work thai - it can get out this week, and I havin: 1 to leave for- -a long trip which wil - keep me away until after my thi jweek's papcr is issued, I give no furthe attention to Mr. Davis' reply than t say. I did not charge nor intimat b th~at Major Richardson wrote or aide n the writing of the electionleerim pistle signed "C. M Davis," whic1 has beencirculated in his behalf. did not print the document signed "C . Davis" along with my editoria t criticism, because I had not the spac t o spare then and I haven't it now, bu 'I did give its purport, which was al t hat was necessary. I did not kee ed over to me, I cave them to friend to make use of in any manner they saw fit. Before leaviug Monday. so that Mr. Di.vis cannot complain, I gave instruc tions to my foreman to make room for Mr. Davis' reply, and to be careful tc print it as written. The matter of my position on the dispensary eight years ago, or now i a proper subject for the campaign, and necs no controversy with an individ ual. My meat and grits, and mortgage reference was intended as a retort for the unjust reflection upon character M-r Davis made in his electioneering document appealing for votes for hi, candidate. The letter signed "C. M Davis" has been well circulated, m% editorial criticism has also been well circulated, and now Mr. Davis' come back will be well circulated, the whok is before the people, they are the judges to decide, and it will be foi them, and not Mr. Davis to say whal the result will be on August 28th. LoUIS APPE.T. Stomach Troubles and Constipation. No one can reasonably hope for good digestion when the bowels are consti pated. Mr. Chas. Baldwin, of Edwards ville, Ill., says says, "I suffered from chronic constipation and stomach troubles for several years, but thank. to Chamberlain's Stomach and Livei Tabletsam almost cured." Why not gei a package of these tablets and get wel and stay well? Price 25 cents. For sat by The Arant Co. Drug Store. News From Sardinia.
