The News and Courier is fol lowing up the denunciations of President Roosevelt by Colonel George Harvey, and gulping them down as delicious plums. Every time any one says some thing mean and nasty about the Chief Executive our contempory makes haste to slap its hands in glee and say "hit him again, bully for you," and yet, should President Roosevelt or any of his cabinet visit Charleston the News and Courier woulJ throw open its doors and say "walk in, it is all yours.-" There would be some excuse for the News and Courier to feet sore at the president, if there was not two sides to the Crum affair. The president appointed Crum to a federal office in Char leston over the protests of the people of that city, but there is a rumor going about that the loudest in their protests gave to President Roosevelt a strong recommendation of Crum for a -federal office in another city in this State, but be that as it may, ever since the appointment of Crum as collector of the port at Charleston, every fellow! that "cusses" out the president in variably gets the approval of the News and Courier, and then that paper would have the nerve to ask the president for, favors for Charleston if they are at his disposal, and feel greatly sur prised and discriminated against did it meet with failure. We see no good judgment in abusing the chief executive, nor do we believe the utterances of Colonel George Harvey is help ing the Democratic party in re storing itself in the confidence of the masses. The world knows that no Republican under the heavens can carry the electoral vote of South Carolina, even if Ben Tillman should say so; that being the case, there is no rea son for South Carolina to be represented as among the always fighting t h e -administration, we have nothing to gain by it, but have much to lose, because the irration al ravings at the president by a representative, and we can truly say, a leading Southern newspaper is taken as the sen timent of the State and section, and used in the North and West as capital for the politicians to arouse sectional prejudices, the result is, we are made to butt our heads against a sectional wall to gratify the spleen of the enemies President Roosevelt has made in his fight against the * railroad syndicates and the big trusts. Regardless of what our leading Democratic journals say, it is plain to the masses that Roosevelt is hated by the cor porate interests such as no other president has been, and there must be a reason for this. If the presid'ent was not throwing him self between the corporate rob ber barons and the people, to protectethe masses from being crushed by the trust juggernant. then why do these interests have their paid sattelites roaming over the country to build up pub lic sentiment against the poli cies of a man who has time and again announced he will not be a candidate for renomination? No one who is the least obser vant will doubt that President Roosevelt has incurred the dis pleasure of the trust magnates. and they will spend millions to defeat the nomination of any * man who will carry out the pol icies begun by the present ad ministration. The Democratic newspapers are not all free from the influ ence of the great moneyed interests, some of them are owned body and soul by railroad barons, and it is our judgment much of the antagonism now be ing manifested toward the presi dent, by these newspapers, is the carrying out of orders from Wall Street, where the Harri mans and Morgans have dis covered there is a head to this nation that gold will not seduce, a man honest, as he is fearless, and one who is nearer in touch with the common masses than any other president has ever been, a man who dares and does, and his works will live long after him. According to the Democratic. politicians, Roosevelt's good acts are stolen from Bryan's platform and as he has done so many good things there can be nothing left of the platform put forth by Bryan, Roosevelt has converte~dl it to his own use and Harvey.| -the News and Courier and tiie others who act upon thc Policy -to damn if he does, and damn i; he don't, will make little head way in obstructing the presi dent's policies, they cannot ob struct his election because lie will not stand for election, there fore, their aim must be to pre vent his plans for the people's welfare from being carried out.

MNiss Bertha Piron. tube~lr At the Hicks school has finished her term and will return to her| home at Sumter. Miss Pierson is a hustling teacher. She ac ceCpted the position as )rinciPl and has been doing the work of two teachers. The girls of this place have read the defendant's answer to the coiplaint of the young lady who is suing him for breach of promise, and they say that his answer is evasive, or in other words, "beating about the bush," they seen to think if Davis & O'Bryan know their business Manning's masher who thinks the affections of a woman can be played with as a child plays with a toy, will have a hard road to travel before an honest jury. The fellow's plea of brain-storm won't work, because everybody knows that the man who has-got sense enough to fool a woman is not crazy, and that he deserves the full penalty of the law. Since this now famous breach of promise suit in Manning our girls are making the boys reduce ,their proposals of marriage to writing, lest they might do like that Manning chap, and forget the transaction. It would in deed be a bad precedent if the defendant in this case came out victorious, because it would em bolden them. and virtually give them a license to court every woman they see without fear of consequences. I note the date for the trial has been fixed for May 2d, instead of April 18th, as was .first thought it would be. If the weather is good I have every reason to think Sa lem.will be well represented on that. occasion. If the other por tions of the county is aroused by this unusual suit like Salem is, I do not believe the court house will hold all of the people. The cold is throwing the farm ers back considerably. Fruit and early vegetables have been killed. The picnic here next Saturday promises to be a - big affair. Everybody seems pleased at the expectation of Professor Daniel and our senator being present. The Sardinia people have got ten a move on them and will soon put up a large two-story graded school building. B. The Thaw case ended in a mistrial, and the whole Imess will have to be gone over again, unless bail is granted and the prisoner is allowed to take his wife and. leave for parts un known, and unsought. -Manning knows how to feel for Charleston's feeble efforts to win the pennant this season.

As a visitor at the morning service of the Manning Baptist church on last Sabbath, I was was very much impressed with the able and inspiring sermon of the pastor of that church who preached his farewell sermon here. There seemed to be a feeling of profound sadness among the congregation at .this service and it was beautifully demonstrated when Mr. E. D. Hodge at the conclusion of the service offered the following resolution which was unanimous ly adopted: Whereas, The Rev. John 0. Gough and his faithful wife have labored faithfully and with great success for thirteen years with the Manning Baptist Church, and having seen fit to resign. to labor with the church at John - ston, S. C., Be it Resolved, That we as a church by a rising vote do show our appreciation of their ser vices with us and pray Gods blessings on them in their new field. Again we pray that God's richest blessings may attend their labors. VISITOR. The Judge Uses Forceful Language. Judge WV. B. Simmons of Fincastle Va., told the- reporter that L.~ & M.

"The titheic is the Lord's," Not as we graci ously orI benevolently conclude to sign a covenant, or otherwise agree to the tithing principle: but no matter what we do or what we think, and entirely in dependent of our conduct in re lation to this matter, "The Tithe Is The Lord's," "All the tithe of the land. whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord's;" it is holy unto the Lord." The same au thorized that, said: Thou shall have no other goas before me," also said, "The -tithe is the Lords." I have said that the Lord "asks" of us one of the tenths he gives us. No! He proclaims his law that the tithe, having the same numerical value as a tenth, but meaning a definite, identical, specific thing, triat has come into our possession, is His. It does not belong to us at all. It is not in our possession as im plying ownership, nor in any such sense that we have the right to consider its dispositionI other than to deposit it wherever God commands us. Therefore we do not give a tenth os.our in come to the Lord; we bring our tithe a definite, precise thing, into His store-house. The tithe is brought in not primarily because the Lord's treasury may be empty and needing funds. That would be most excellent reason why we should give free will offering of our own store, but there -is no reason at all why we should bring in our tithe. The tithilg principle is, a vital. We are under solemn obligation to bring in the tithe because it belongs to God. If the tithe is the Lord's what should we do with it? Why, bring it to Him, of, course, and get our untrustworthy hands off of it as soon as possible.. In Malachi, the instruction is to "bring the whole tithe into the storehouse," so that the tithe must not only be brought to a given, general, place, but it all must be brought, even to the last penny. The Lord has- chosen the churches of the present day as the place in which he has set His name. If it was an offense in the days . of Ealachi not to bring the whole title into the storehouse, is it not equally so today? Who knows but that the long delayed and long looked-for revival in the spiritual life' of our churches is but an expression of God's dis pleasure with us. Selected.

An Explanation. special to The Manning Times: In justice to myself and to satisfy the hearts and minds of some of the good people of Clarendon and elsewhere I ask that you give this space in your paper as to R. 3Ianson Turner being presented to the grand jury by me for living in adultry with one negro woman married to Towden Jackson said woma.n cailed Cornelia Jackson. I have been so unjustly accused of lie ing in the matter until it becomes nec essary for me to explain myself at least in part. Now as to my evidence given in the last court concerning that case was the truth from start to finish, and I could have said more with the same truthfulness if called on; that's where the shoe pinches. I never made it a practice to lie when a boy and I have not had much to repent for in that line consequently it is too late to try now to learn, especially for such a man as he is. Friends: he bought thi jacket let him wear it. I'm sure he contracted the disease of his own accord and not mine. Now let me explain to the peo ple at large why I signed his petition two of mf friends asked me to do so and after we had talked the matter over I signed it for his mother's and the two little boys sake and none other.
