The past week in our judg ment has developed a political situation which no doubt will be interesting to the people in eastern South Carolina. The election of Hon. F. B. Gary will in the opinion of many, have a cbilling effect upon the candi dacy of ex-Gov. John Gary Evans, who will be a candidate for the long term. There are many admirers of Mr. Evans who regard the recent action of the general assembly as unfor tunately conflicting with his senatorial aspirations, and that it was playing into the hands of Mr. Evans' opponents to put a Gary in for the short term. The opponents of John Gary Evans know that the people are not prone to give everything to one family, because they realize there are other families who merit political recognition, and if everything of importance is to go to the Gary's there will be an injustice done others who have as good or better -claims upon the affections of the people. We believe John Gary Evans will get into the coming sena torial race considerably ham pered, he goes into the race with weights on his heels, and if this belief turns out to be a true pre diction, he can lay much of the responsibility at his own doors, because he was, with the other long term candidates. upon the scene of conflict watching the various moves, and he did noth ing so far as we could discover to guard his own interests, but quietly joined his opponents in aiding in the election of a Gary. The result of the election had not been announced good before the matter of long term candi dates began being discussed. Was the name of John Gary Evaps most prominent? No. Was it Col. George Johnstone? No. . Was it Col. Daniel S. Hen derson? No. Well who? E. D. Smith. This name was upon the tongues of legislators every where, in the State house lob bies. hotel corridors, street cars, theaters,everywhere the name of E..D. Smith for United States Senator was the talk, and this talk too~had a ring of enthusias tic earnestness about it, very much as when Capt. B. R. Till man made his first race for Governor. We do not know what will develope between now and the primary but unless there is a mighty change, a revolution, as it were. of public sentiment, the action of the General Assembly has made E. D. Smith the next United States Senator. Men argue that the Gary's are good men but South Carolina has other good men, who are as brainy and as patriotic. The Gary's have done their duty upon the bench and in the leg islature, other men have render ed equally as distinguished ser vice.This family's work has been altog ether political out of which they were the personal bene ficiaries-they have never been known to make a single public sacrifice, but this cannot be truly said of every public man, for there are many who- have given freely their service to the State without reward or the hope of reward. In the case of Hon. E. D. Smith he gave several years to the public service, and then he launched forth into another field where he could do somethmng for the masses in a practical way. This man has devoted his talents. his hife, and his fortune to the upbuilding of the masses in the cotton growing States, and by his honest efforts he is endeav oring to bring to the people something of more value than who is to get a fat political job, his work is to bring happiness and prosperity to the great mass of the cotton growers. Has Smith given to the farmers any hcalp? Has Smith's help been of more practical value to the masses than the elevation of politicians to public office? These questions are asked and answered affirma tively on every hand, and we sincerely believe from informa tion we have gathered that in the next primary election the farmers andl business men in the State will join together and elect Smith to fight for air in terests upon the floor of the United States Senate, as he has so well and nobly dorne in the commercial centers of the coun try.

ANOTHER GARY PROVIDED FOR. After a stubbornly contested battle Hon. Frank B. Gary of Abbeville was chosen United States Senator to fill the unex pired term of the late United States Senator Latimer. The opposition to Mr. Gary was at the disadvantage of waiting un til after Mr Latimers funeral to organize, and thereby lost the support of a considerable num ber who had committed them selves to Mr. Gary, even before the corpse had left Washington. To our mind Mr. Gary is not the choice of a majority of the Gen eral Assembly, nor is he the choice of the State, as is evi dence.by the fact that he had twice presented his claims to the people of the State, and they twice did reject them and him. It is our judgment that Mr. Gary's election is due mainly to the blundering of the opposition, and to the desire of avoiding a long deadlock. The writer was opposed to Mr. Gary because he believed there were a number of other men more entitled to the dis tinguished honor: there were others of equal or even more ability, men who had rendered the State as much or more ser vice, and men that had not been rewarded themselves nor have members of their families been rewarded. Mr. Gary, personally is a very agreeable man, pleas ant in his contact with his fel low man, especially when there is anything in sight of interest to him, he is a man of fine integ rity and fair ability, and, among those who were with the oppo sition, were men that had form erly been his friends, but these men were of the opinion that it was not altogether fair to-give so many important positions to one family. The Gary's have been well provided for in a political way, and they it was who advo cated "rotation in office" ani denounced the distribution of public favor among a chosen few. The leading opponent of Mr. Gary was Hon. Legrand G. Walker of Georgetown. He was defeated, but his friends are-ever loyal to him, and the people of South Carolina will yet call for his service. Mr. Walker ac cented his defeat gracefully and wIhen his friends would express their. regrets, he would cheer them up by some happy expres sion and complimentary allusion to his opponent. We predict that LeGrand G. Walker will be a leading factor in South Caro lina before long, He has the integrity and the ability, and all of the make-up of a statsman. BAMBOOZLED, St GUM! Judge Pritchard offered the receivership to the entire mem bership of the winding up Com mission, thus acknowledging his confidence in the integrity and business ability of the men. Messrs Murray, McSween and Patton Ideclined the glittering bait thrown out by the federal judge, but Messrs Henderson and Arthur bit like hungry jacks. Murray, McSween and Patton are serving the State from mo tives of patriotism, but the other two have demonstrated clearly the doctrine of "damn principle its money we want." If ever there was a case of selling principle for gold this is it. Governor Ansel appointed the members of the v ?nding up Com mission because of his personal regard for the personnel of the board, his utmost confidence in their ability and integrity, they were chosen by him as his trust ed friends to aid him in bringing order out of disorder, and to save to the people of South Car olina what was justly theirs, to prevent the treasury from being looted from the acts of a con spiracy between officials of the State, and conceins from with out the State. The members of this Commission occupied no ordinary relationship towards the administration and the peo ple, they were entrusted with a conidential relation to be just to hoest claimants,and to the peo ple, that two of this Commission have betrayed the Governor's confidence is deplorable indeed, and very mortifying to Governor Ansel. We knosv very little of Mr. Arthur, but had anyone told us that Mr. Henderson would have betrayed the gov ernor's confidence we would have indignantly resented it. The many friends of Henderson throughout the State feel keenly the mortification he has sub jected them to. This morning's press dis patches bring the announcment that Joseph A. McCollough of Greenville has withdrawn from the Senatorial race. Tis' v-ell. He is now a political impossi bility. QUART: List of Purchases mad May 30, 1908. Prices Pa FROM WHOM PURCHASED. H. A. Thierman Co......------- --- Consumers' B. B. Establishment.- - -- Garrett& C-..------- -------------- Meyer, Pitts & Co..---- -- - -.- -- THERE IS NO BREACH. There seems to be an impres sion abroad that the State Sen ate and Governor Ansel are not agreed, which was the cause of the Senate declining to comply with the Governor's request last Friday nightto adopt an amend inent to the Act providing for a commission to wind up the State dispensary. The amendment came to the Senate in such shape that none of the senators were prepared to give it their endorse ment. The senator who intro duced it frankly said he had not had the time to study its pro visions, and had only received a general outline of the measure. The opponents of the adminis tration immediately took ad vantage of this situation to pro test against what they designa ted, "hurried legislation," but the majority reached the conclu sion that inasmuch as the amend ment prepared with the admin istration's approval, was not in a position for the senators to read for themselves it would be better to not adopt it at that time, and then if the governor and his advisors came to the coiiclusion that . legisla tion was necessary to maintain the State's honor, dignity or its rights, he could convene the General Assembly in extra ses sion, when the members could receive compensation for their services. The action of the senate in not complying with the governor's request was not in the least antagonistic to him. The fact is, several of the governor's staunch est and most loyal friends were opposed to acting upon an im portant matter without first fully understanding it, but were in favor of an extra session if deemed necessary by the Gov ernor The books, securities and records of the dispensary wind ing up Commission were yester day deposited with the State Treasurer, and this is thought will put them out of the reach of the federal court. Joseph McCullough candidate for the United States Senate from Greenville will not toe the mark when it is time to announce the entries. he has been lured away with a bunch of green in the hands of a United States Judge. He says his acceptance of the receivership will not affect his candidacy for the United States Senatorship. We hardly think it will either. His acceptance of the job simply eliminates - him entirely. His name is Mud. Since the addition of two new circuits it removes from the Third, Solicitor W. H. Wells who goes to the T welfth, there by creating a vacancy in the Third. There are several ap plicants for this vacancy, our choice from the number of worthy men is John H. Clifton. Esq.,of Sumter, a young man of acknowledge, ability and deter mination. In our opinion he would make a capital prosecuting officer; in his hands the State's interests would be safe. Candidate McCullough o f Greenville has accepted a re ceivership from Judge Pritchard when it is that the interests and dignity of the State is in ques tion. Mr. McCullough is a law yer and has the right to sell his legal ability where he pleases, but at the same time he will find that the people of South Caro lina are not going to vote for any man whose patriotism can not soar above the greed for gold. No man is entitled to the votes of the people who will sell his services to strike down his summerton News. Edior The Manning Times: . The usual salutation on meet ing a farmer now is, "are you ready to piant corn?" This is the season when farmers come into their kingdom. "Hope springs eternal in the human breast," while such glorious weather lasts. Our share of the State Legis lature is home again, after their forty days at hard labor, and some do say they can already detect the canidatial aroma in the air. As was mentioned in the pa pers some weeks ago, South Car olina is one of six States to re tai annual sessions of the legis lature. If it could be accom plished, and we too have bien nial sessions, enough would be saved to each county to help a long way toward good roads. and better, if once in three or four years. to almost put a com plete system of roads or a new RLYPURC e by County Dispensary I i and Prices at which saa KIND.

The gentleman from George town made an excellent run for a Walker. There will be an election in this school district soon to vote money for finishing our new school building. When done it will be far and away ahead of anything in town, and strangers: will think we have a federal building. It will come in nicely someday as a temporary court house. We are glad to welcome a Manning citizen to our town, in the person of Mr. D. M. Brad ham, as one of the Summerton Live Stock Co., and wish him much success. "Money makes the mare go," says one, and Bradham can make live stock go, says another. This new busi ness absorbs the business here tofore conducted by Mr. H. A. Richbourg, who goes also into the new concern. The furniture business of the Strauss-Rogan Co. has been sold to the Summerton Furniture Co. This xas formerly the Rutledge & Tindal furniture business, be ing founded many years ago by J. D. Rutledge and E. A. Tindal now deceased; since then becom ing the E. A. Tindal Furniture Co., and later sold to Strauss Rogan Co. By-the-way, one would have scarcely expected T. S. Rogan, manager of Strauss-Rogan Co., to do the crawfish act, but we leave it to his friends, and the public to say if he has not back ed clear around the corner, and got behind a bran new five-ton iron safe. Chewning Bro.'s Co. are run ning a reduction sale. They do not believe in ,strange concerns running their sales: prefering toput the"ten per cent.pickings" in their own pockets.

But the duty of the kidneys is to remove all uric acid from the blood. Its presence there shows the kidneys are inactive. Don't dally with "uric acid solvents." You might go on till doomsday with them, but until you cure the kidneys you will never get well. Doan's Kidney Pills not only remove uric acid, but cure the kidneys and then all danger from uric acid is ended. Rupert B. Calvo, bookbinder, em ployed at The State Publishing Co., of ficial printers for the State of South Carolina, living at 1010 Lumber St., Columbia, S. C., says: I thought I had rheumatism and treated for it on that belief. I used all kinds of liniments. The pain was in my back and in my hips clear to the shoulders. The lini ments did no good and I took to blood medicines but they did not help me. I took a long trip in hopes that the Ichange of climate might help me. I was away for three months but could see no change for the better, I heard of Doan's Kidney Pills and determined to try them, and got a box at a drug store th~ey completely removed the pains out Iof my back and I have not felt a touch Iof the old trouble since I used them."
