The two principal political parties-Democrat and Repub lican, as represented by their leaders Bryan and Roosevelt are so close together in their policies that many of the rank and file are at a loss to seethe difference. It is evident to our mind that Senator Tillman's judgment is against the nomination, and therefore he is opposed to in structing the delegates to the national convention. Tillman while not opposed to Bryan is not an enthusiast for him at this time. He is of the opinion that if Roosevelt is nominated Bryan will be estooped from antagoniz ing his election, because he has on frecquent occasions endorsed the policies of the president which will prove embarassing to the Democratic party and make success difficult. There may be much in this view of the distinguished Sena tor who stands away up in party councils. and is in close touch with all of the leaders, would not have expressed himself thus, es pecially at this time, when every indication points to the nomina tion of Bryan to lead the Dem ocratic hosts. From the standpoint of party popularity Bryan stands far ahead of any individual in it, and he will poll the entire party strength, but to have success the party must find a man who can draw votes from the Republican party, it is doubtful that Colonel Bryan can do this. The strength of the Democratic party is in the South. and this section will sup port the nominee matters not who, it is a sad condition, but nevertheless true: conditions forces the Democratic party to be sectional, and as long as such is the case, just so long will we furnish the votesand shouts while the North gathers in the honors and emoluments. A man whose personality and principles will appeal to the business interests of the North and West is needed for party success, have we such an one in Colonel Bryan? If it is true that the m'oneyed interests are fighting the administration of President Roosevelt, and that Bryan is in sympathy with the president's efforts at reform, what hope can the party have to receive support from the money ed interests with Bryan as the standard-bearer? Will not this powerful influence be exerted. this time, just as it was before, against the democracy? The Democratic party has been orating against predatory wealth and accusing the corporate in terests of being the enemies to mankind,is not now in position_ to accept aid from ithese enemies unless it sells itself to them, and the moment these moneyed kings loosen their purse strings for the election of Bryan the con sistent democrats will. not stand for it, and will regard them selves betrayed. If no other man in the party can draw more Svotes from the republicans than Bryan then his past services en titles him to the leadership, and unless he can commend himself to the independent republican vote, defeat is already written on the pages of political history. Therefore when the State con vention convenes, our judgment is, we should select our best and truest men, and let them go to Denver empowered to go into party council to act for the best interests of the party. If they are sent instructed to any par ticular course, or for any par ticular man, they are no more than automatons, set to do the one thing regardless of circum stances; it would detract from the compliment paid them if they are sent instructed, and should Bryan fail to receive the necessary two-third vote our del egation, if instructed, will be forced to become a set of obstruc tionists, and thereby cripple what influence might be exerted. We think it unwise to instruct. Should it happen that John A. Johnson is the Democratic nominee for presiden~t the News and Courier will forget all about the punky ball playing of the ex-champions, or rather the pink-slipped players of the ex Manning team, and shake her finger vigorously at the Colum bia State with an exultant "I told you so." We believe she will have to put on a new dress, a merry-widow hat and a hoop skirt to balance the hat. so she be properly dyked out to splurge in the coming campaign to jar the Columbia State, and that recent Bryan convert the Charleston Post-the Palmei and Buckner Post, now a Bry anite, ha! ha! Time has wrought most' wonderful changes when the News and Courier and Co lumbia State advocate Tillman, ath harleon Post Bryan. iliarl estolls base ball tam continues to try and fail. A re cord that looks mightily like one we once npon a time read daily, and it made our heart sad. The night. riders of Kentuc-ky are working their way to the Southern tobacco belt, a start has been made in Virginia but the firm hand of the authorities blocked them for the present. We are of the opinion these night riders belong to an asso ciation, and will gradually getits organization through the south er tobacco belt,should it do soall good citizens must put their dis approval upon it by giving aid to the authorities to punish severely all attempts at lawless ness. The people of this State cannot afford to permit a gang of assassins to get a foot hold. The cotton situation at this time is not so encouraging for those who are holding, but it is our judgment that the near fu tu-re will lift the pressure that is now forcing the market down. The shutting down of the mills has a great deal to do with pres ent conditions, creating a lack of demand for the raw product. but this will not last nuch longer, the manufactured goods cann6t continue to supply the demand and sooner or later the mills will have to start up to fill their contracts, and when they do, there will be such a demand for the raw material that prices will go bounding up. The pres ent depression is brought on by the financial conditions, money withdrawn from circulation. diffi cult to borrow: but the reports show a .gradual lift, and business is beginning to move along slow lv at first. conserv-atism demand ing a cautious movement,but be fore very long we look to see busi ness on a saner and firmer foun dation, making prices stable, instead of erratic fluctations, as is the case now. The recent decision of our supreme court sustaining the attorney general in the injunc tions against owners of property where the illicit sale of liquor is carried on, is a signal victory for that officer, and, while we are opposed to any law which de prives a citizen of the right of trial by jury. the effectiveness of the Lyon injunctions cannot be questioned. To imprison a citizen without a jury trial seems to us, not only drastic, but altogether out of joint with free institutions and inasmuch as our State supreme court has declared such a proceeding valid we should like for the question to be carried to the highest legal tribunal for permanent settle ment. Now that the court has declared an injunction can lie against the owner of property, and that he can be punished for contempt, should any liquor be sold on the premises, with or without consent, we look for the injunction servers to get busy in al of the large towns in the State, and keep the tigers mov ing from one lair to another, the business will be conducted in the future in portable lairs. Deafness Cannot be Cured by localappuications. as they cannot, reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu tioal remedies. Deafness is caused by an im lamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube- When this tube gets inflam ed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear ing. and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result. and unless the innlammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition.hearing will be destroyed forever: nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh. which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mu Weu wsl aci-e One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarra) that can not be cured by Halrs Catarrh Cure.

The proceeds are for .church work, the above party having been under the auspices of the Ladies' Aid Society of the Presbyterian church. The Parhand-Newhall Co. is booked to appear here on Sat urday night of this week. All who beard them when here last year will need no coaxing to come again. These men, besides being very pleasant and polished gentlemen, are all-round mnusi cians. The feature most enjoyed was the bell ringing. This was simply superb. and all are look ing lorward especially to this feature. During the past two weeks thieves have entered several places of business here, and in Ione case serious loss entailed. The business men. appreciating the situation have hir-ed a spec ial night watchman who will patrol the town. Terrific rain falls have ucc.. re( sevra times during- the last few days and the ground is so wet that farming operations are at a standstill. Some few have tinished planting cotton, while that planted cannot be worked. The Hon. C. M. Davis is now the Isaak Walton of our com munity. His men have a stereo typed answer to quires as to his whereabouts, it is "gone fish ing." He has been initiating all the different ministers into the mysteries of Prince's Pond fish fry and stew. No candidates have as vet blossomed out. Guess now though as all danger of frost is over that the buds will put out. Superintendent John Wilson was in town last week looking after the putting in of a Jarge drain under tbe North Western Railroad. This was rauch neeed at that point and so are some more. Some time ago when new sidings were put in, a ditch run ning into Scot's Branch was closed up, and now just by the cotton platform after each heavy rain a lake forms. This will, we know, be promptly attended to, when the notice of the railroad authorities are called to it. Now that danger from frost is over we are all looking for ward to ai abundant crop of fruit. Having had none last year makes us watch with great inter est the growing fruit. Mr. J. D. Gerald has some fine onions from his garden on display at a store in town. B.

Mr. Editor, we have a man in our community that owns a dog that was bitten by a mad dog some time ago, he has not killed, neither shut the dog up. Is there any law to compel him to kill the dog or shut him up, or to handle such men otherwise. Mr. Editor, I don't know the law for drawing jury, but I think our county authorities who do this work should be a little morecareful, and try to get men on the grand jury that is capa ble of attending to the duties that a grand jury should attend to, for there is one that is living in this community that is on the grand jury for this year that his conduct is unbecoming to a man living in a civilized country, much less to a man who is drawn to serve our county as a grand juror, this man's wife has him under a peace bond now for pro tection to her. I will not mention the name of this man at present, but will give his name to the foreman of the grand jury if there is not a change in his life from now on. I just mention these few things to get the opin ion of the editor and of the' cor repondents of THE TIMES. K.

KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL. Health is Worth Saving, and Some Manning People Know How to Savelit. Many Manning people take their lives in their hands by neglecting the kidneys when they know these organs need help. Sick kidneys are responsible for a vast amount of suffering and ill health, butsthere is no need to suffer nor to remain in danger when all dis eases and aches and pains due to weak kidneys can be quickly and perman ently ~cured by the use of Doan's Kid ney Pills, Here is a Manning citizen's recommendation: W. R. White, livitg on South Boun dary St., Manning, S. C., says: "I suf fered from kidney trouble for some years. I was forced to arise frequently during the night on account of the too frequent action of the secretions. I also suffered severely from backaches and had sharp pains across my loins. At times I was so lame artd stilf that I could hardly turn over in bed and mornings I found it very difficult to dress myself. If 1 sat down for a little while I could hardly arise and had been in this condition for a long time with out finding a remedy that would help me until I procured Doan's Kidney Pills. I used but one box when the pains were banished and the lameness and soreness disappared. I do not have to get up at nights to pass the secretions, and am feeling twenty years younger. I highly recommend Doan's Kidney Pills and can say that I never used a remedy that gave mec such great relief."I For sale by all dealers. Pr-ice 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co..
