The Columbia State of yester day protests against the methods and arguments employed by ti1 imported campaigners, now wag insz war on the legal sale o: liquor in Richland county, ant we sympathize with its protes so well expressed, but what iu the use to protest- The Pronibi tionists are determined to ha v their way and carry South Caro liuna for State-wide prohibition Those of us who are not con verted to the prohibition pro e paganda, may as well prepar( for the inevitable. THE MANNING TIMES still be lieves a restricted sale of liquoi under present conditions, is fai more effective for the cause o temperance than prohibition, bu the masses have been . educatet by the preachers and the womei in a belief to thecontrary, there fore, as we see it, all protests oi or arguments against their meth ods are unavailing. The majority in this Stat< seems determined to try the ex periment, notwithstanding th< miserable failure to enforce th( law in the cities, and as the ma jority must rule, the minorit3 may as well 'surrender and le them have their way. There is one thing, however which gives room to protes against the importation of speak ers, and that is. the future effec of politics on this State. We ar convinced that it will not b( long before there will be ar effort made to lead the Prohibi tion party of the South into C national organization and,in thi. way seek to break the solik South, and under the cloak o: morals, force disintergration o: the Democratic party. TO BE DISCIPLINED. Congressman Clark, of Flor ida, has brought ansavalanche 0: criticism upon himself for taking an independent stand upon th< tariff. and his repudiation o. Bryan as the Democratic leader. Clark had the frankness to tel Congress, if his local interests were looked after he would sup port the measure regardless o: the wishes of the Democrati< caucus, and because of his defi -ance of caucus rule things bav been made very warm for th~ gentlemen. The Florida legislature take~ a hand in the resentment of Mr Clark's repudiation of Bryan and has invited that distinguish ed candidate to address them; which is intended as a repudia tion of Clark's utterances. Clark's independence of though1 and speech may cause him tc "'loose his grip" upon his con gressional district, and cause him to be classed with the "ihas beens" after the next election bat he has only given voice tc what many Democrats think. There is not a Southern State that would for a moment con sider W. J. Bryan for the part5 leadership again. He has beer tried three times, and three times he has been defeated. The defeat of the party was not due to the bad leadership of Bryan, -but solely due to the lack of con. tidence in the Democratic party with the masses: any other Demn ocr-at, probably would have shared the same fate as Bryan, but all the same, the country has three times said they will not have Bryan. and it -would indeed be political suicide tc again place the leadership w'ti him. The State has arrange~d to bor row 8500, 000. if so much bE necessary, at three per cent. $200,000 of this amount will be used to pay off the pension claims. Commissioner Juo. G. Capers of the Internal Revenue Bureau, is in the Episcopal Eye and Ear Hospital in Washington. He has undergone a serious surgical op eration. Charleston's new collector of the port, Mr. E. W. Durant, Jr., assumed charge of his ottice last Monday. The appointment of Mr. Durant is a source of great gratification to the people of Charleston, where Mr. Durant is highly esteemed in business anid social circles. The income tax law was not settled by the Supreme Court as we supposed, the only decision was by Judge Watts in the cir cuit court, but now it comes up in the Alderman case before the Supreme Court. and the decision will be awaited with anxiety. If. however, if it is decided the law is valid, the confusion in ascer taining "what is an income" still exists. Tpher~e are very few peo ple who are in position to make a sworn statement in this matter and we think the Comptroller General should send out plain and explici instructions, so that t he law cn be cormplierl with. Senator TilIman was among I the callers at the white house'! yesterday. It is his tirst visit I there since he was insulted by I President Roosevelt. The sena tor has a very high regard for P"resident Taft. and frequently visited him while that gentleman was Secretary of war. It is grat ifving to iiis constituents that the I senator is once again in touch i with the head of the nation. Four prominent cattlemen at Ada., Aklahoima. were taken from the city jail last Monday by a mob of citizens and lynched. The victims are charged with con plicity in the murder of former United States Marshall Bobbett last February, who had been shot from ambush. The mob is said to have organized in the commercial club rooms, and marched on the jail ac Z o'clock in the morning. On the 17th of August next i not less than 15 out o -1 coun ties will vote prohibition. Among the number sure to go dry by a vote of over two to one are S am ter and Williamsburg. Every man who has friends in either of the two counties named should endeavor to get them to vote prohibition. The people of this county are very much interested in the action of Sumter and Williamsburg,. and it behooves them to help stop the drain now upon Clarendon. if the adjoin ing counties do go dry most of the money from this county now going to them will stay where it naturally belongs-at home. Senator Tillman has gone back to Washington, after a long rest at his home. The Senator says he weighs more now than ever before in his life. When asked with regard to the tariff now be fore the Senate. he said, "there is no use biting at a grindstone wheneverithose Republican ring sters get ready to pass the tariff they will simply crack the whip, and the majority will trot up and vote as the ring directs." It was expected by many that the Senator would take a lively in terest in the tariff game, but no doubt he sees the rocks, and ap preciates the waste of energy. There is trouble brewing at Clemson College again, Captain Minus, ex-Commandant, is out in Monday's morning newspa pers, with a signed statement, accusing President Mell of mis management, and harmful and ruinuous interference with the military discipline of the corps. Clemson College is continually having a rumpus of some sort. and it is high time for those in authority to get busy and remedy the defects there. This institu tion was started as an agricul tural school, it was to send forth farmers. but instead, it sengs forth almost any other profes sion. People are standing for it, even though it does not do much in tlie agricultural line, but if there is to be no let up in teeannual rows, there is go ~ing to be a demand for a reckon ing sometime. As was expected the name of M. W. Floyd has been sent to the senate for confirmation. There was some opposition in Spartan burg to the appointment notwith standing the fact that Mr. Floyd had a strong petition, some of the signer-s of which, on learning that Floyd had voted the Republican ticket. joined the opposition. This opposition has been fanned by p-artisans into intense heat, and as we understand it. a captious spirit has continued the fight against the appointee's confirma tion. Senator Tillman and Smith bare been appealed to, and fur nihed with affidavits, presum ably reflecting upon the charac ter ofFloyd. IIt is our judgment the "snort-, ing-burgers" are taking a wrong[ step they will not succeed by such iactic-s in defeating Mr. Fioyd. the advice offered by the News and Courier in its issue of~ last Monday should be heeded, it says "President Traft shows a I strong disposition to be friendly! to the South, and Southern comn-I miunities should refrain from needlessly embarassing him." We agr-ec with our conteirpo rary,. and the continued opposi tion to Pr-esident Taft's appoint ment can only result in creating ill feeling in Spar-tan burg, where the applicant is well and favor : ably known. It is such captious opposition that bodes no good for Democratic h-rmony ina community like Spartanburg, where there is a growing repub lican sentiment. our rbevill scool tts. e Editor nhe Manning Timnes: Prof. R.

There is a rumor that Doctor Gamble contemplates a visit to Summerville for a few weeks. on a honey moon. A saw mill and gininery plant: is being built and will be ready son. On the 14th instant there wa a farmer-s' union convention here. The clubs represented~ were New Zion, Sardinia, and Trinity. The farmers are at last' wak-ing up to their rights and' duties; and will make it hot for the speculative class. Rev. E. P. Hutson lectured to the New Zion ites last Friday evening.
