The publication in the Southern Christian Advocate November 12th, relating to the election held in Cl:irendon on the liquor ques tion, and in which it is stated that Supez-visor McFaddin "admitted that a high official influenced him not to publish the notice," has aroused the indignation of Mr. McFaddin, and he feels that a grave injury has been done him. Immediately upon having his attention called to the editorial in The Southern Christian Advo cate, he addressed a letter to its editor demanding the authority for the assertion that he "admit ed that a high official influenced him not to publish the notice," to his letter Rev. S. A. Nettles, edi tor of The Southern Christian Advocate replied as follows: Spartanburg, S. C. Nov. 20, 1908. Mr. Rt. E. McFaddin. Manning, S. C My dear Sir: Replying to yours of the 16th. I re spectfully refer you to Rev. D. A. Phi lhps and Mr. Joseph Sorott. They will substantiate what appeared in the Advo :ate. I copied the figures from some paper. Naturally I thought them cor rect. It seems the majority was about correc c, but the vote was given too large in both cases. Yours Respectfully, S. A. NE TT LES. . Upon receipt of the above let ter, Mr. McFaddin communicated with Rev. D. A. Phillips and Mr. Joseph Sprott, and both deny telling Mr. Nettles, Mr. McFad din " admitted that a high official influenced him not to publish the notice." The denials are herewith given. Manning, S. C., Nov. 23. 1908. Mr. R. E. MecFaddin. Supervisor, Man ning, S 'C. Dear Sir: In answer to yours of the 21st inst.. as to reference to me by the editor of The Southern Christian Advocate concern ing certain alleged admissions by you. I beg to say that the Editor of The Ad v-ocate, Rev S. A Ne',tles, is certainly mistaken if he claims that I gave him any such inform::tion. As to substanti ating the article referred to, I knew nothing about it until I saw it copied in The Manning Times having overlooked it in the Agvocate. Yours Sincerely, -D. A. PHILLIPS. Manning, S. C., Nov. 21, 1908. Mr. R. E. NecFaddin, Supervisor, Man ningz, S. C. Dear- Sir: I have just received your letter of even d-u~e berewvith which states, "In copy "i Southern Christian Advocate of 'the 12Cz inst., under the heading "Pro hibitica Success." it was charged that1 "the Super visor of Clarendon County admitted that through the influence of a pronminent ofice holder he did not or der special election, etc.. etc." "I de mandecl the name of the person or per sons v:'o informed the Editor of The Advocatre that I made such admissions< and he gave your name as one of his in formarn ts and said further that e n would substantiate the article referred ] to." To this I reply, I did not inform( and could not inform "the Editor" that you m:-.de the admission above named and, therefore, cannot substantiate that 1 portion of the article for you made no such admission to me or any one in my presence. Yours Very Truly, JOsEPH SPROTT. It will thas be seen that some body has gravely blundered, and] *the statement that Supervisor 1 Mc~addin "ad mitted that a high official influenced him not to pub lish th'e notice" did not emanate t from the source the editor of the SouthernChristianAdvocate gave j1 as the reference who would sub stantiate the charge made by him. 1 -That Mr. Mc~addin should feel aggrieved by such a damaging statement being made in the offi cial organ:>f the Methodist churcht - is quite natural, especially when f there is absolutely no foundation 1 for the charge: any man of pridec would feel keenly the stigma. ic THEY NEED AID. It will be a great help to the Claren:don delegation for the count y board of commissioners to furnisa a full and complete state ment of the county's financial condition for publicat .n. so the public may know exactly how things a-re, and just how much more the taxes, if any, will have to be raised to meet the d. mands upon the county. It is suggested by some to doI away .with the chain gang as ai means of r-educing expenses, buit the sne'i people who make this sugge.tion also say that the peo ple be :.e become so accustomed to pay the commutation tax. thatf ;o work the roads. Never since the days of recon struction has there been such 1 problem to solve and with so little encouragement to solve We take it there is not a mem ber of the delegation -ho wants to raise the tax levy. at the same time.none of them would be will lug to have a chaotic condition. It is impossible to have roads and bridges in travelling condition without money, and if the present levy will not raise enough to, meet the demands, why.a higher levy must be imposed. The do ing away with the chaingang would we believe save some mon ey, that is, if the people will keep the roads and bridges up, but. if they are going to content them selves with the commutation tax. then it will not be long before oui roads and bridges will be in a seriously bad condition. and when pubiic affairs get in a ramnshack led condition it will cost the more to get in good condition. There are a number of men who are good at criticising those who try to do something for the public good, who may render the public a betterservice if they will devise a way and means which will aid the delegation in solving the bad problem which confronts it. Now is the time to suggest, do not wait until action is taken to criticise. KEEP CHURCH AND STATE SEPARATE. The northern Methodist chuirch as such, went into politics good and strong in the recent election for the purpose of defeating "Uncle Joe Cannon," but the old political war horse was too much for the clergy-politicians, and the old fellow was re-elected by an increased - majority. The tight however, is still on, the Metho dist church could not beat Can non at the polls, they will carry the warfare to congress and bring every influence to bear to defeat him for re-election as speaker. Will they succeed? The Repub licans have a good, safe working majority, but if the Cannon op position can form an alliance with the Democrats there is a possi bility of defeating the man the Northern Methodist preach ers are after. What good will it do the Democratic minority to defeat Cannon, some other Republican must be selected to wield the gavel? In our judgment, unless the Democrats can gain something of advantage to the party, the best thing they can do, is to sit down good and hard upon a church embarking into politics. There is a strong tendency to wards using church influence in politics these days, and unless it is checked there is no telling how far-reaching it will become. There must be in this free American country a separation of church and State, and unless they are kept separate there will be dan er to free institutions. The rebuke the Northern Meth )dist Church received in the re :ent campaign should serve as an :ject lesson to prove that Amer icans will not submit to church :omination in political affairs.

The Columbia State objects to L newspaper or a public man aaving independent political 'iews, that in order to be a Dem crat according to The State's ~tandard, there must be a sub nission and strict obedience to be party mandates. Very good lotrine, but it strikes us as ather queer coming as it does rom a newspaper which was ounded upon opposition to the egula~r Democratic party in this tate. The Columbia State has iot always been so straight aced and orthodox in its lemocracy, at any rate, not mough to assume the posi ion of dictating a standard s a guide for Democrats. Judge Klugh's sentence of W. 1. Thompson was-so severe that ve are inclined to believe His lonor permitted his prejudices o override his sense of justice. 'he idea of imposing a fine of 1500 or 18 months in the peni entiary for violating the dispen ary law. Why not impose a ife sentense? Is the selling of hiskey a hinous offense? We hink not. There was a time vhen it was lawful to sell thiskey without a license, but io the sale is prohibited and he law makes it a misdemeanor or individuals to deal in liquor, >ut it is not of that class of ies which demand such a Lrastic sentence. We ventue to *ay that Judge Klugh has given man convicted of assault and attery with intent to kill, a auch lighter sentence. There is such a tihing as play - ng for popular plaudits, and~ ~oing too far. This man Thomp on was conv icted in Spartan urg co~unty of vilolatLe; the dis >ensary law.

Nelson started into the house where the Clark woman was, with a gun on his shoulder. As be entered the door he rttempted to take the gun from oil his shoulder and i for some unknown reason the gun was discharged and the whole lond entered the woman's right side, death being al most instant. Nelson came to Magistrate Henry F. Stack about 2 o'clock at night and gave himself up. The Coroner's jury's verdict was that Daisy Clark came to her death from a gun shot wound intlicted by John Nelson.

Editor 'The Manninu: Times: The dye has been cast by the voti ng 3 out the dispensary, and the Ilood-gates } to free whiskey has been now opened in Clarendon county. Yes, Prohibition is said now to pre- ( vail in Clarendon and our word for it- t it will prevail only in name but nevert in fact. The dispensary plan by wvhich intoxicating liquors has been sold inJ South Carolina for the past fifteen years and more, has we believe been the bes plan ever devised by mortal man. We do honestly believe for intoxicantis 1. to be manufactured and sold by man is I a divine right, as much so as we believe it a divine right for man to seli sugar. coffee or' for any other commodity that } is daily sold. In the use of intoxicants wewish it distinctly understood that we don't say ,t it is a divine right fox' an:. man to abuse Ii the same.and to abuse,and mistreat his family from an over indulgence in in- C toxicants. There are laws on the statute books of South Carolina if properly and impart: ally enforced will call any man down .1 that so far forgets to keep himself with- j in the bounds of decency and respect ability while in the indulgence of intox--I icants. Honest and sincere pr'ohibitionxsts wet will honor and ever respect them. but the whiskey d rinking prohibitionists. we will pity them and will ever look upon them as a misguided people. It is-in deed amusing to hear- Prohibitionists say that public sentiment will see that!n prohibition is en forced when at the same time they know full well that public i sectiment has neveir enforced any- law in South Carolina, but that many mat ters of law will ever remain as they eve have remained:what is every man's bu iness is no man's business and so many matters will ever rem.ain a nullity. Before the waxing and waning of many moons many thirstv whiskey drinkcing prohibitionists will be repen t ing in sackcloth and ashes for being such s5 fools in voting out the dispensary, and a will put up many lamentations for only V a "wee drap." - Let Sumter, Florence and WVilliams- d burg prepare for it. foxr they wvill realizelP a good profit. from Ciarendon in their I dispensary business. 7 GEorGeE R.
