GEE WHAT NERVE! "Says The Manning Times: The Columbia State objects toa news paper or a public man having indepen-, dent political views, that in order to be a D.aocrat according to The States standard, there must be submission and strict obedience to the party mandates. Very good docine, but it strikes us as rather queer coming as it does from a newspaper which wasfounded upon op -positnon to the regular Democratic party in this State. The Columbia State has not always been so straight-laced and orthodo in its democracy, at any rate. not enough to assume the position of dictating a standard as a guide for Dem ocrats." "While there is no public or private disoosition of which we have cogniz an'e to attach the significance of relia bility to the utterance of the Manning Times, it is no harm, just to keep the record straight to say that the statement in regard to this newspaper's being "founded upon opposition to the regular Democratic party in this State" is a fabrication manufactured solely out of - material in the dark and devious recess es of Editor Appelt. The State's infant voice was raised for the regular Democracy and for reg tularity: it was also raised against usur patioi, tyranny and dictatorship-and it has never spoken otherwise. The State does not object to "a news paper or public man having independ ent olitical views"-we only object to an independent calling himself a Demo crat. The State is rejoiced that it is not considered a suitable political standard I * for The Manning Times."-State. The above comment taken from the Columbia State is proof con clusive that Editor Gonzales is not in need of a nerve tonic, his scurrility instead of argument is the resort of a class of writers who find themselves cornered. Whether the "State" has a pub lic or private disposition * * * to attach the significance of re liability to the utterance of the1 Manning Times" or not, matters but little to its editor, nor does the assertion of Editor Gonzales I that it "is a fabrication manufac tured solely out of material in the. dark and devious recesses of Ed-i itor Appelt" as a retort to the~ statement in the Times that "the State was founded upon opposi tion to the regular Democratic party in this State" keep the rec ord straight. It has been our impression that the State newspaper was a pro-' duct of Haskellism, and founded in opposition to what was known as the "Reform movement." that its editor was one of the pillars of Haskellism, and factional hat red was the cornerstone. There is no desire on our part to blow up the almost dead em bers of factionalism, but since the State assumes to be so othodox in its democracy that it would hold others to a strict conformi-: ty to the rules of the Democr'atic party, it is right to remind it that there was a time when its editor held different views, and this too without impugning the editor's chara.cter in the least. And inas much as the State "has no public or private disposition **** to~ attack the significance of relia bility to the utterance of the Man ning Times," we hereby issue a challenge to Editor Gonzales to prove a better, cleaner or higher character for truth or reliability, whether the same he morally or financially. The editor of The ] Times endeavors to be truthful and has always paid one hundred cents on the dollar for the debts contracted by him, but it 1s easy to assume the role of injured in nocence when confronted with the past. to make an effort to brush it aside with a denial or impugn ing the veracity of those who present the ghost of the past. It i; is a great bluff with a certain 1 class of editors, whenever they are prodded in a tender spot to 1 retort with scurrilous abuse, out< that game has been worked so 1 long, it no longer deceives. The 1I Times editor concedes theState to 1I be an atbly conducted nie.vspaper,) but when it undertakes to out< Herod-Herod in its fealty, and 1 assumes a mnonitorship for the Demor-ratic party, it is presumnp- 1 tion until it has tirst received ab solution from the sin its editor committed against the Democrat- I ic party in 1890, when he with*] his Haskellite faction undertook to rent the Democratic party ini twain. A buse is no argument; itli prov-e- nothing whatever, and so 1 far as the reading public is con cernei it does not matter in what person;l regard Editor Gonzales holds Xditor Appelt, the question iways stood loyally by the Deun cratic party in this State, an :hether the State was founde pon opposition to the constitt ed authorities of the party? If as we believe, the Stat could not have been born, had iot been for the poliAcal revolt ion of 1890. and that it is th roduct of a bitterness engendei d by the Haskell movemen hen it is nothing short of pr, umption of the part of the Stat o presume to set a'standar or true and loyal South Carolin )emocracy. If on the other hand we ai nistaken in the State being a pr< muct of Haskellism, and its ed or did not support the Haske ause-the Independent part v hich endangered white supreu Ley, then we most humbly apok ,ize for questioning the propri]el >f Editor Gonzales assuni ng to dictate a standard fo lemocracv. If Editor Goinzal vill say he loyally supported I 2. Tillman the nomiee of ti )emocratic party in 1 Ci, it wi )e a pleasure for us to ackncy edgea treacherous memory. An oo, if Mr. Gonzales can show th: its life, public and private h: >een. and is better than ours u xill at once try to follow his e: unpie, until he can do this ,vould be the part of wisdom lave a care how he impugns tli veracity of those who are at lea s good and as trustworthy ie. The Orangeburg Times an Democrat advises against sout arn people reading Collier Weekly. Will not such advi have the effect of arousing cur >sity and cause people to want ead it'? It now begins to look likeElil Root will represent New York the United States senate to su 3eed "Old man Platt." Mr. Ro is conceded to be a great lawyc liplbmat and statesman. A i: iho has distinguished himself carious public capacities. Attorney General Lyon hi Made a motion before the Lnit< States supreme court to have ti iispensary case advanced, whic s now before that court on a peal. The amount involved .00,000, and unless the court wi permit the appeal advanced tl probability is that the money wi ae tied up for years. There are a number of newsp pers going into hysterics becaus William Jennings Bryan said in interview that if his hart vanted him he would be a cand late in 1912. There is no need hrow fits because of such a stat nent on the part of the thrice d feated leader: many things migi appen between now ar.d the ne: national conflict that will put h omination entirely out of ti iuestion. At any rate the opp sition to again patting the contri >f the party in the hands of il ompetent leaders, can atford 1 old off fighting Bryan until 1 tarts out to talking himself ini ~he nomination. The Colambia State would i1 inuate that all men are liar; vho remind it of its past ugly pl itical record. A former con vil nu a San Francisco court. whc 'eminded of his past record. mai tn exasperated attempt to as tssinate the prosecuting offict ho objected to his sitting on ti ury. Our capitol city contemnp ~ary becomes exasperated and r, orts with ugly temper, when s told of its disloyalty to dem ~racy in the past. In all proba litv it would not have been coi ronted with the ghost of polit ~al treachery had it stayed on ti >ench of probation and beba ~d, instead of assuming the ro: f leadership, and dictating a ro: >f conduct for Democrats. President elect W. H. Taft, hb endered to Mr. Frank H. Hitcl ~ock, chairman of the Nation: ~epublican party, the position< ?ost Master General. Mr. Hitcl ~ock had charge of, and organi: d Judge Taft's campaign for it oiination, and then foliowe his up by having the nominatic dorsed by one of the greate: >f victories. Mr. Hitchcock he lemonstrated his mnagnificei Lility as an organizer and gene: L, a requisite in the great poi >fice depar'ment. The Sout Jarolina delegation in congres uave a warmi friend in the comin ?ost Master General.. congresa nan Legare and he are specia >ersonal friends, therefore so fa s5 this State is concerned ot ~onressmen will have a listem ng ear at the post office depar nent. It is now stated that W. I Jum, collector of the port< harleston will be reappointed b President Roosevelt. There 1thing against Crum's efticienc' he only objection is his rac< rhe office is not of great impo: ance. and the Collector comesi ~ontact with but few people, in >usiness way in that city, neve: heless, on account of the pect iar conditions existing. the al >ointment of a negro to a publi fice is distasteful to a large po: ion of the population, and thi act should h-ave great consider: ion with the appointing power Crum's original appointmer vas attributed by many to th igh recommendation given to th >resident on the occasion of hi isit to the exposition. but ther s absolutely no excuse to cor june the man in the office ove he protests of the business con nunity, and white citizens gene: clv when it is a known fact th; Drum's race never have an v bu ness with the Collector of cui Supervisor's Quarterly Report S'he following Report of Claims approved for th< t tiuarter of the fiscal year 190-k. showing number, in whos for wat purpose. and amouni. is published in accordan the rq(uirements of the law:.
