Editor The Manning Times In order that your readers who have not seen one of the petitions circulated lately, that the matter of retaining or closing the dispensary be left to a vote of the people, we give the petition verbatim: "To The County Supervisor of Claren don County: The undersigned qualified electors of ,Clarendon County respectfully petition that you order a special election to be held on the first Tuesday, following the first Monday in November of the year 1908, at which there shall be submit ted to the voters of Clarendon County the question whether alcoholic liquors and beverages~shall be sold in Claren don County hereafter. or the dispensary be closed. And your petitioners will ever pray, etc." This petition embodies the very plat form which you proclaimed from one end to the other of this county two years ago, and the espousal and earnest advocacy of this right for the people local option-swept you into otfice. A local option law was enacted for which you voted, requiring a netition from one-fourth the qualified voters of a county before the people could have the privilege of local option-local choice. No local option privilege has vet been granted the people of Claren don County as, until recently, no effort had been made of submitting this matter to the people and allowing them to exercise their choice for or against the dispensary., But recently a petition was circulated in many sections of this county in. accordance with the law made by you and others naming the time provided for in that law and about 680 white Democrats have requested that they have the privilege of local option granted this county. Indeed, as far as I know. there was only one man who made any special effort to prevent the people of Clarendon County getting the privilege of voting on the liquor question, and that man holds the otfice of Senator from Clarendon County, haying received the votes and earnest support anal influence of lots of men be cause he advocated leaving the matter to a vote of the people. I know.this to be a fact, not only in regard to my self, but many others. Any one who reads the petition referred to must ac knowledge that it is not a petition to grant us prohibition, but a petition to allow the people to vote for or against the dispensary, or if you prefer it, for or against prohibition. It is simply a petition for local option, which means nothing more than local choice. When the liberty of a ballot is granted us we expect you to do all you can for the dispensary, for you advocated during the primary campaign 2eaving the matter to a vote of the people, but you said to me when it came to a vote you would advocate county dispensary. We voted for prohibition and were given instead the State dispensary, and we v'5ted for local option and were given the county dispensary with one pro vision of getting local option, namely, by petition and this single opportunity of getting local option seems to have aroused all your antipathy for petitions in general, excepting those that pray for schemes which you advocate, as for instance, the petition for a new court house, which petition you were instru . mental in getting up, and expressed the desire to be enabled to carry up with you a gcod petition. You could not have been elected had you not professed to be in favor of sub mitting the liquor question to a vote of the people. You could not have gotten the large prohibition vote that you did, many of whom said to me, "IL am not voting for Appelt, but for the privilege of having this liquor question submit ted to the people." Have yoif done all you could to obtain this privilege for the people? Have you not exerted yourseli and are still exerting yourself t prevent the people having this privilege? The statement in your last issue, by information, that over one-third of the names written on the petitions submitted were written by other than that of the petitioner, is a falsehood. Some names were written in that way for parties who could not write. The statement that there are many repetitions is another falsehood. -~ I believe we have justly enough names to secure for us local option, and then the matter of prohibition will have our attention and our defence. Yours for a free ballot. JOSEPH SPROTT. THE TIMES editor as wvell as Clarendon's Senator advocated Local Option as between State and County dispensary, voted for the law to submit to the peo ple, when they so desired, the li quor question. He does not agree with Mr. Sprott that the local option platform -"swept" him into office, because, his op. ponent was a State dispensarite and received votes from Prohi bitionists, and too, from county dispensary advocates, while the present Senator also received support from advocates of the State dispensary, and Prohibi tionists. The fact is, outside of a number of Prohibitionists in -Manning. who were forced to vote for an,.advocate of the State dispensary, or an advocate of the county dispensary, no Pro hihitionist being in the race, they chose the lesser evil by casting their votes: not all, some of them, for the present Senator, the issue cut a small figur-e. But aside from that. Claren don's Senator was an active force as the records will disclose, in securing the voting-privilege legislation,. and this privilege he would not attempt to remove. He can however, exercise his individual judgment as to whether or not the time is at hand to ask for such a vote un der the law, and in so doing it is right for him to give public ex pression to his views. This he has attempt to do, and he con cedes to the public the right to differ from him. Having been instrumental in securing the leg inconsistent did he oppose it op pose it without a sufficient rea son, but he does not oppose the law granting such elections. he is simply, under present condi tions opposed to the time. If the question was, shall the law giv ing the people the right to vote in or out the dispensary be re pealedY He would vote for, and earnestly work for the retention of the law. Because it is Right. He believes, the people should have a voice in such matters. Local self government is dem ocracy, it gives every voter a right to advocate or oppose any question submitted, and it is that very principle which is being acted upon. The law which is now on the books requires when a sufficient number of qualified voters petition for an election, the Supervisorshall comply with the request, and the only ques tion for his decision is whether the law has been complied with. The "special effort to prevent the people of Clarendon County getting the privilege of voting on the Liquor Question" by -"that man" who "holds the office of Senator from Clarendon Coun ty," consisted principally in his opposition being openly, but courteously, expressed in the public prints, after he had learn ed of petitions having already been in circulation. In that op position he conceded the right to have such an election, but en deavored to. argue the time was inopportune, giving as one rea son a strong probability of State wide prohibition, and unless such was the case to have Clar endon without the revenue from the legal sale, while the adjoin ing counties were selling liquor. there would be but scant prohi bition in Clarendon, and our rev enue would go to enrich the counties nearby that remain wet. THE TIMES editor also said, while he was not a prohibitionist, if the question was submitted in the county Democratic primary, and although he has two more years to serve, and vote as he pleases. ,the vote recorded in that primary would be regarded by him in the nature of an in struction, and he would be gov erned by it. This he did several times, together with his reasons. He c6ntends it is the only way to get a full expression of the white Democratic voters, and which the election - provided by the law will not bring out. If "that man" who -holds the office of Senator from Clarendon county" could believe his only qualification for the Senatorship are his views on the liquor ques tion, he would resign, to make room for some other who may becontent with such a quayfica tion. that such an one may sacri fice his private affairs and serve his country for a pittance. He finds,however~there are very few men but iho prefer sacrifices to be made by others. The present occupant of that office proposes to look at conditions as they exist, and take his constituents into 'his confidence in public matters, giving to them his j udg ment as he understands the sit uation. He being of the opinion, the people should .not ask for such a ballot at this time, does not make him inconsistent, be cause conditions may change, and the changed conditions may appea-1 to his mind as the proper time to vote on the liquor ques tion. It does not argue, because Clarendon's 'Senator voted to give the people the right to vote, in or cut the dispensary, it de barred him from arguing against the time some want the vote 'to be taken. If in his judgment that time is inopportune, and, this is his contention: not against having an election. but against having one this year, before it is ascertained what action the ad joining counties will take. Should Mr. Sprott attempt to count "the votes and earnest support of and influence of lots of men" that chose between the present 'Senator and his op ponent, because of the Senator "aving advocated leaving the matter to a vote of the people," and compare them with votes cast for Major Richardson. by voters who in words also "advo cated leaving the matter to a vote of the people," he will be surprised at the smallness of the number that were prompted by the issue. There were plenty of voters who wanted the State dispensary destroyed, but voted for Major Richardson. the de fender of that institution, and it was not personal antipathy to the present Senator either. Ma Ijor Richardson had many per sonal friends. State dispensary ites voted for the present Sena tor upon the same ground. so after all, the issue had but little weight, except possibly with a very few. The court house petition r e ferred to was not required by law, as is necessary for an elec tion on the liquor question. nor did it have any weight in determining the Senator's course. The mass meeting called for the purpose furnished the Senator with th~e necessary to act, but for other r-easons which are not necessary to detail here. he desired the petitions. Mr. Sprott asks questions. 1st. '"Have you done all you 'could to obtain this privilege for the people?" Answer. The vote r-ecorded favoring the legislation speaks loudiy for itself 2nd. "Have you not exerted yourself and arec still exerting yourself to prevent the people having this election." Answer. Only in~ the open manner already indicatv -: Through the c-olumns of Timi sons why Clarendon should not, under present conditions, vote her revenue out that it might go to the adjoining counties. The writer has visited in the county but the subject was not mentioned but once. and that by an individ ual prohibitionist who expressed himself in favor of State-wide prohibition. but was doubtful of of the wisdom of county prohibi tion. This is the extent of the exertion. Mr. Sprott is an ardent Prohi Oitionist, an exemplary man and there is no gain-saying it, he wants the law strictly complied with. Therefore hehas no objec tion, but rather invites a careful scrutiny of the petitions: if there be names which are not actual I written by the party the name represents. there would be no objection for thQ Supervisor to get a written opinion from the Attorney General. If there be any duplications Mr. Sprott would ask them to be stricken off. Should it develope there are names of persons who were under age at the time of signing, they not being qualified voters, as well also as names of citizens of other counties, would also come off at Mr. Sprott's request. THE TIMEs editor has never seen one of these pet tions, nor does he care to see them unless iuvited to do so for the purpose of inspection, and not even then unless it was in the presence of an interested Prohibitionist. Then if enough properly signed names have been secured, the ver. Act "that man"who "holds the'oflice of Senator from Clar endon County" supported and voted for, and by his act placed 'mon record his willingness for the people to select a time, un der the law, to vote on this pesky liquor question, will be put into operation, and those who favor voting the dispensary out, regardless of conditions, can do so, and those who oppose voting it out while adjoining counties retain it, can also have the privilege, and be as truly pious and sincere in their reli gious and temperance views as the most ardent Prohibitionist. There are good. sincere men, who would gladly vote for State prohibition in the primary: hav ing confidence in the word of Clarendon's Senator that be will be governed by the majority so expressed, in his vote, where prohibition votes are needed in the next session of the Senate, but who will not vote solely to drive out the county dispensary this year. The Prohibitionists have an opportunity of securing another vote in the State Senate if they will, or if they prefer to take chances. of carrying Clarendon this year they can wait for two years. leaving the State-at-large to care for itself for State probi bision. A' change of two or three votes in the Senate means State-wide prohibition. It is up to them. WILL THE COMMITTEE DO IT2 In this issue there is a com munication relating to the re cent action. of the Democratic convention with regard to elim inating the office of magistrate from the primary. We do not agree with correspondent's rea sons for the change, not at all, because we believe the majority in th~e convention voted to elim inate from the primary the office of magistrate to secure better service, and not to give advantage to the towns. The writer was a member of that con - vention. and voted against the resolution to take the magis rates out of the primary, but he confesses, that he voted against the resolution from_- a spurely selfish standpoint. He did not want the responsibility p~ut upon him of recommending men for ppointmernt. The convention, however, saw it to request the executive committee to take the magistrates out of the primary. and it will probably be done. The question will resolve itself down to whether or not the dele gation will recommend men for these offices from the str-ength of petitions presented, ifso, then' it is folly to make the change. In our judgment if the delega tion has imposed upon it thie responsibility of recommending magistrates, it should assume i without being guided by petitions The most triffling and untit man in the community can circulate, and have signed a petition ie-cc ommending him for an oflice. A! dozen men can~ aspire to the same office and every one of them can secure nearly the same signatur-es. So far as the writer is concerned. he should prefer the magistrates be elected by the primary as now, but if the executive committee confiirms the suggestion of the convention; then petions will have but little weight in influencing him in reaching a coiiclusion who to recommend for magistrate. ONE OR THE OTHER MUST EAT CROW. It matters not who is nlomina ted at Denver. if it be Bryan, the News and Courier will have to get a coat of white wash to dis infect it fr-om the foul utterances :uring the scramble for the inm ination, and if it be .Johnson, Thie State wvill hav-e to swallow a mud bank or go out of business Just how that paper can square itself with the people. after :harging that the anti-Bryvan forces are the tools of Wall street, and are actually isin g money to secure the nomination of Johnson.

Tiierfore, should Bryan be nominated th( News and Courier will onJ havt to swallow its pill and join ir the shouting with the rest of us but The State, if Johnson wins will never be able to get its fact straight from the grimaces it wil have to make.

As a matter of public informa tion. we would like to ask th< News and Courier, if it has estab lished a Prohibition editorial de partment at Columbia?

Senator Tillman is now so journing in Spain, whither bh has has gone in search of health It is sincerely hoped his tril abroad will bring back to hiQ his old time vigor, that he may~ take his place in the councils o: the nation. There is no questiot about Tillman's usefulness it the Senate. There are times when he gets off the track, bul his record as a whole in tha1 body places him in the fron1 rank with the best of them. Thc Tillman of the present is alto gether a different Tillman of the past. Travel, and contact with the world and men, has broad ened and softened him. H~e is still an astute politician at the same time, a valuable legislator. The people of South Carolina regrardless of oolitical di tferences are glad Tillinan is taking his deserved rest, and that his tr will serve the purpose of restor ing him to good strong health, and that it will add to his useful ness in legislating for the entire co untryv. In Prohibition Atlanta. we note in yesterday's press des patches there is sold a beverage alled "Near Beer." said to con tain less than 2 per cent. alcohol. and which has been sold ever ince the prohibition law went into effect. The~ city council has recognized the legality of This -Near Bear" by imposing a $200 license tax. and for-bidding its sale on Sunday, or to inors. andl prohibits the serving of free lunches with it. if "'Near Bear" is a temrperance drink, why im pose a license for its sale, and forbid its sale to minors? There is no law which forbids the sale of soda water to minors, nor is the sale of soda water licensed. The fact is, the authorities of Atlanta know that the new hey cirage is nothing short of lager beer, but they are winking at the attempt to evade the law. Whether it is "Near Beer" or far beer, the fact that the city council demands a license for its sale and forbids it sale to minors is a confession they helieve it is an intoxicant, and its sale is un lawful. What Senator Tilman said about Editors~ J. C. Hemphill and W. E. G4onzales~ was some thingr fleree, after these two spirants lor politicaml leadership had so studiously tried to please the man xvho has~ it cinched. Till mn claims that Hemphill got latTv on Cleveland and hma:4 never een restored to sanity, and onzales aspires to a control of he federal patronage in case of Democratic success. Tillman oes not seemr to have confidence n either of them. and virtually arns the people against both. When Hemphill and G onzales were ama kin g th etight against and or instructions to the Denver onvention, both virtually: ap eaed to Ceasar T1illmian, and hereby recognized his bcss -ship. rillimn, sick man thoughn he be. ed clditors. reiiembored the lays of yore : when tey camie to himn with siniles on their faces. each ple;diig for the boss's approval, Tp ilimn i inigined ther had dIa,! gers up their sleeves, and he ordered them to "scat ye devils. scat." and ther scat-tered. each looking at the other with savage countenances, with the prtonm t) miet at Philippi.

Without a day's interruption. this historic Iineeting has gone on for [ty years. .n the busy downtown section of the great metropolis of America this mother of noon prayer !meetings has sent forth its blneticient in fluence, until alL the nations of the earth have felt its )ower. During these years hundreds o. thousands from every country and clime have attended this meeting, and in answer to their prayers men and women have been redeemed from lives of sin, and multitudes of others have been influenced to ]ives todeepet devotion and more consecrated service to God. The requests for prayers have come from fathers, mothers, brothers, sis ters and Christian workers the world around. Its fame and in fluence have truly become inter national. Historians of the re ligious movements of the coun try are unanimous in ascribing the great awakening of 1858 tc the power of prayer. and men tion the Fulton Street noor Prayer Meeting as the starting point of that mighty revival, which swept over a million souls into the kingdom of God. Hav ing been the instrument of such a wave of blessing for the world, 1 this meeting has endeared itself to hundreds of thousands of peo pie, many of whom have remain ed in touch with the work since its beginning. Judging from the experience of those who are it closest touch with the work, his bond of fellowship in prayer has been constantly growing, and individuals and communities are reaping a harvest of bles sing as the result of petitions daily ascending from this hal lowed spot. For the past fivE years a prayer circle of ovex three thousand have doily peti tioned the throne of grace , for a world-wide revival. Communi cations have been received tel lig of marvelous answers to prayer from every country, State and territory. Notwithstanding the fact that the noon hour is the busiest of the day, the at tendance for the past tive years has been on the increase, and thE total attendance during that time has been over 60,000, while more than 16,000 requests have sent in from every country of the globe.
