A SENATORIAL FORECAST.
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.

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.

Are You Sure Your Kidneys are Well?
Many rheumatic attacks are due to
uric acid-in the blood. 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.

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
