Entered st thePostofnce at Manning as Sec ond Class matter. A NEW RICHMOND. The 'atest in political circles comes from 0. B. Martin, State superinten dent of education in the nature of an announement that he is a candidate for the United States Senate. TQ his announement he makes several lunges at the present incumbent, Senator Lat imer, and which we zonstrue as an index to what will follow in the cam paigu. He charges the junior Senator with being a political fakir, a maker of U)romises that were never fultilled. Ho intimates that Latimer has used his omicial position to get rich, by hint ing at his vast Mlexican possessions, and altogether 'Martin proposes to show that Latimer is in public life for the money he can get out of it. But Mr. Martin thirsts not alone for the gore of Senator Latimer, he wants a try-out with the present governor whom he says has "manifested symtoms of Sena torial aspirations," but he does not "know whether he will run or not." He charges Governor Ansel with "having injected politics into the educational department,'"and then says "If -he decides to enter the race for the United States Sennte, I shall meet him atbhillipi. It is altogether to soon to conjecture as to who will be Senator Latimer's successor, there is no telling yet who .vill enter the race, but notwithstand ing the question frequently asked, "who is South Carolina's other Senator?" we do not hesitate to say that Martin's irra tional onslaught will not have a ten dency to weaken Latimer's chances to succeed himself. Governor Ansel has not announced himself a candidate for the Senate, and we sincerely hope he will not, as in our judgment he should succeed himself as Governor, but in the event that the gover:or should decide to run for the Senate. Mr. Martin's cheap defi amou-ts to naught. We look upon Mr. Martin's conduct with regret. He has been Lonored by the people, and now on the eve of his retirement from office, he is in bad temper like a spoiled child when the parent thinks it has, had cuiough candy. Mr. Martin need not think that his outbursts of indigna tion because Governor Ansel did not consult~ with him regarding an appoint ment meets with popular approval, it does not. The ped:e know the ap-I pointing power lays with the Governor alone, and they rather admire him for his independence, especially, when it1 is felt all over the country there is somnething not altogether right with the State board of education. Al' ,er this State, in every town and hamlet people are complaining of the manner of the school book adoption, and when the governor :declined to appoint on the board some favorite of the State superintendent, he no doubt had good reasons for it, any way the people be lieve he is trying to protect their in terests. We have no idea that Mr. Martin stands a ghost of a show for the United States Senate, or any other office for that tmatter. He has with his own bad temper dug his political grave. He is a lively stump speaker and when the campaign opens we imagine he will get lots of hurrahs, but when the votes are counted his friends will learn their favorite went to sleep at tbe post. If the opposition to Latimer gets no stronger than the present announce ments he will win his own succession in a walk. -The money centers recently shaken up by the wringing of: water out of the stocks, are publishing to the world, that they are slightly dis~gured but still in the ring. They all say confi dence has been restored. and yet monley is as tight as wax. If the editor of the Columbia State, and Senator Latimer continue their ' letter writing about irirnigration, they will each convince t.ae public that both of them are agreed, both favor immigrants from northern Europe, and both are opposed to immigrants from southern Europe, and that each of them are standing by the law of this - State creating the bureau of immi gration. -What ground there is for the report that Governor Ansel will be a candidate for the U. S. senate, other than the statement alleged to have come from General J. C. Boyd while in Washing ton recently, we do not know, but while we recognize the fact that Gov. Ansel is a free American citizen and can do as he pleases about which office, if an':. he will run for, yet we are dis inclined to believe that he will be a candi late for any other office than that of C. vernor. We think he is some *what bound to stand for re-election, be cause it is under his administration *that .one of the State's institution was wined from the statute books: should he howrever conclude to measure lances *with Senator Latimer, we can frankly say that there are many who supported Ansel for governor and would do so a gain for the same offi-e. who will not vote for him for the U. S. senate: not that Latimer is their choice but they would regard Ansel as having deserted the L. cal Option cause while that pr~in ciple 'sunder e, and~ bo:r' it has an op or-tunity to be endtorsed or con dentby the p~eople. -Blot!ehes, imp:les. coarse pores. black cads are uilsig 1tly and denote impure blood.

Editor The Manning Times: Being put out of business for several weeks subsequent to court week, this correspondent has been remiss latterly in furnishing the news from this sec tion. A\nd now, begging your pardon, for I would remember that you wanted news rather than opinions, i have found a good subject for consideration. It is found in the last issuc of Ti MAN NIM; Ti.%1ws and it is about a new colrt house and better roads. - This is an old subject, but one that will last just as long as the old court house and the bad roads. So to get rid of one means the riddance of the other. There is no doubt about it. that we are away behind in both particulars. It needs only a superticial examina tion to show that our court house is very inadequate in its capacity and fittings. It is a veritable tire trap. A glance into some of the oflices reveal records of years open in Pigeon holes. piled under tables, in wooden cases etc. Some of these are necessarily valuable, some could not replaced at any cost and all readv as tinder to burn any minute. The clerk's office is the only one at all fitted against fire, and it is now crowd ed to its capacity. This office alone needs three times the room it now has. Some of the others need more room, and all need fire proof protection for the papers etc., of value. This should be so apparent to all so as to make the issue one simple of solution. As to the upper story, while the seating cap acity is large enough, the usual ap pearance and condition is not inviting to a decent audience. I have no doubt that just as much justice can be dealt out in that court room as in a more luxurious one, the same for that matter could be done in yard beneath the beautiful oaks. It is a fact, one that is worth while considering that when we are surrounded by squalid, untidy quacters, noxious air, etc., that the best results of heart and mind are not attainable. But with pure air, neat and clean quarters. where good taste and some culture has left its impress on the surroundings one naturally feels uplifted and feels more respect for himself, his cause. and sees a sharper line of demarkation between what is ignoble, criminal, and what is honest and true. We do not say to build a palace, a good plain structure is within our reach, and should be seri ously considered. There should not be a single man who has any affair on re cord in that building, but who would be willing to submit to a mere bagatelle of tax to make it secure. We of other county towns should have no objection to this use of public money Manning is our County Seat, it is a beau tiful town, centerally located and all should feel a just pride in it. Of course we here at Summerton expect to see our town the County Metropolis but this does not mean that we must be its capital, witness Charleston, New York etc. Taking it for granted that the new court house is assured, next we come to the public roads. These might be properly put, first for of prime import ance to a commonwealth is its system of roads. Nearly all the main roads of this County were built with a view of getting across the Santee to Charleston, there is a superfluity of roads at some points leading to the Ferrys. This system should be changed some what and more cross county roads lead ing to Manning and other centres be made. As to the character of the roads we have as much dirt and clay as Sumter, but look how they are getting along with the roads up in that County. There is nothing that indicates the thrift and spirit oi a community more than its public roads, nothing receives more comment from strangers, people traveling through a section are attrac ted by the roads as much or more than other' features, with better rcads the eoole of a community get clcser to ketier I wonder how many people stop long enough to think how little they know of the township in which they live. I wonder if all of us have people in three miles who are comparative stran gers,but with better roads we would see each other oftener we would ha.ve less distances of each other and pull;togeth er better in matters of public import, at the same. time have more interest in each others welfare and be better friends and neighbors. B Therc 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 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 incuralie. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional dis ease, and therefore requires constitutional treat ment. Hals Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Chene:. & Co.. Toledo.

The Affinity Fad--A Mother's Horrible Ex ample. Cincinnati, Nov. 6.-John M. Flynn, a traveling salesman of Spartanburg, S. C., and Mrs. Susie W. Greenwald of the same place, were married here tonight. The couple declined to ex lain the desire for secrecy of their iarriage. The woman is said to have been divorced recently. N rs. Susie W. Greenwald, who is r-e orted to have been married iu Cin ennati last night, is the wife of Mr. David Greenwald, head of one of Spar tanburg's largest clothing establish ments. Mr. John M. Flynn is one of the best known traveling men in Srartanburg. Mrs. Greenwald, who~ i a very hand some woman, left Spartanburg for New York about three months ago, accom panied by her daughter. It was rum ored at the time that Mrs. Green wald was leaving with the vie-v of obtain ing a separation from her husband. Since that time, however, nothing has been heard of Mrs. Greenwald until tonight, when the announement of her marriage to Mr. Flynn was received here. Mrs. Greenwald was a Miss Webber before her marriage to Mir. Greenwald. -The State. SHE IS A BIGAMIST. Cincinnati,~Nov. 8.-According to lawyers here Mrs. Susie W. Greenwald of Spartanburg, S. C., who was married here Wednesday night to John M. Flynn, a traveling man, also of Spar tanburg, is believed to be liable to the charge of bigamy if her first husband chooses to press the case Dispatches from South Carolina state that Mrs. Greenwald left that state less than three months ago for New Yor-k, ostensibly to begin a divorce. Mr. Fynn says that his present wife has~ been in Dakota since leaving South Carolina and that she secured a divorce there. but local lawyers declare that if she did secure a divorce it will not be valid, because she had not been away from South Carolina long enough to establish a legal residence even in South Dakota, where the -divorce laws are very lax. Mrs.'Greenwald and Mr. Flynn came to Cincinnatti by different routes. The bride's ~seventeen - year - old daugter was one of the witnesses at the marriage.
