It I. MANNING, of Sumter. Mr. M vuuiug has for 14 years representee his oourty in the Legislature, six years in the Houss, and for the last eight years lu the State Senate. He has made mistakes That he realizes. Hut In every queetlon upon which he has had to cast his vote he has applied this test?tirst la it right? Then, is it for the best Interests of my State and oounty? Remembering this, he is ready to stand by his record. No greater work can be done by South Carolina than to upbuild the edutatlonal system of the State, and he Is glad to believe that educational condition la South Carolina have Improved, and are Improving. The representatives of the people In the House and In the Senate no longer tight the appropriations for eduoatioual purposes, and while the * 1 \jy>k lOVIUDrt Ilia/ All 1)111108 &ppC&r larger than the revenues of the State would seem to warrant, there can be 110 doubt that these representatives are doing what they think will further the best interests of the State, and their attitude towards the subject is a cause of greatest gratification. For years, in the House and in the Senate, he has been in close touch with the affairs of the State, and while he does not wonder at the howl raised at ncr >ased apropriatlons, it must be remembered that conditions have great ly changed. The inequalities in tax assessment are glaring. lie favors the oarrying out of the recommendations 1 made by the tlnanoe committee in or- 1 der to wipe our these inequalities. He warns the people against the in- ' oiplent tendency to corruption in elections, which has recently manifested itself. It is to be regretted that the liquor question should have attained such prominence. There are 1 other matters worthier of attention. He is not the champion of whiskey, but he is deeply interested in the moral welfare of the State. He is ' not a straddler and he will not seek | to befog the public mind on any issue. Tip dnPB not. A l? ? -vvv uuv ?U IIAJUVU VUG UI9 pensary as run Id the past. Whether the allegations of corruption and graft In the dispensary are true or not, the people of South Carolina will 1 not stand for even the suspicion of such things. Where there is so much smoke there must be some tire, and the people of the State will not stand for the dispensary as it has been conducted. If corruption and graft do exist in the dispensary, then It must be purged of the odium or else the whole thing must go. Wipe the dispensary out and what will you have left? Men will have whiskey. Public sentiment does not warrant the belief that prohibition can be enforced. He has studied the question oarefully, and he believes It oan be purged, Bead the Haysor-Manning bin and you will tlnd that It goes to the root of the matter, the purchasing of the liquor. ne does not be lieve in local option. His reason for this will be given later. But that oftioe of Governor Is a purely executive ottioe and should he be made Governor he will enforoe the law as It stand* on the statute books. The Hon JOUK J. MCMA1IAN, of Columbia, tne next candidate for Governor to address the audience, prefaced his remarks with the statement that every man Is his brother's keeper, and that it follows, therefore, that every citizen should be alive to j his clvlo duties. The scope of government has been largely widened. It ( Is no longer confined to mere police regulation. We are shocked as we i giance aoout us at the evidences o corruption abroad In the land, b )tb ' within and without our State. WheD we oompare the conditions of toda> with the conditions which obtained in the past we must be ashamed and i surprised. Dispensary corruption h j not the only corruption to he founo , in South Carolina today. Our dutj is imperative to place only the besi and highest men in cilice. The prl mary system is a great system, but under it there has unfortunatel) i grown up the custom of magnifying the duties of the candidate and mini 1 mtzlng the duties of the citizen. Ht favors the improvement of the school* and commends the establishment ol the State reformatory. He standi today for every educational return* which he has ever advooated. H< urged the importance of the drainagt of the coastal region and advocated the establishment of every oouuty o1 a model farm. Time does not permit I him to discuss the dispensary. Per sonally he is opposed to the use o* liquor, but he doesn't believe prohibition practicable. He favors the ' a*-*- ? 1 nwvo uiBptuuMkry, uut noi the dispen- ' sary u it now exists. He would first ' have it cleansed and the rasoals in It * plaoed behind prison bars. The next candidate for Governor 6 to address the Democrats of Dor- ' oheste* was th Hon 1 JOHN T. SLOAN, I of (Columbia. He vaa born In the 1 shadow of the Blue Ridge Mountains, 1 at old Pendleton. He went In the 1 army at 16, and went through the c bloody campaigns of 1864 and 1865, in Virginia. He wasoaptured at Ap- 1 pomattox, and after the war be re t turned to Pendleton and went to * school there. In 1966 he enteral v South Carolina College, from which t ?. - institution he wan graduated with honors. He reylewed hie servloes to the city of hie adoption, where he i?Jt- been engaged ?n the praotloeof law for more than a (core of years. He was a wearer of the red shtrt In 'he days of 1870. He rt viewed his reoord as Representative and Senator from R cbiaud County. He was parLku'ariy proud of bis eervloee In o mdiog Clemson and Wlnthrop Colleges and in the defence of the Citadel and South Carolina College. He was proud of his reoord as Lieutenant Governor. He has spent the best days of his life In the servioe of ids State, and he believes himself entitled to promotion to the Governorship. Ho wants to see a sch<x>l houseon t vjry hill and one in every valley of the Sca.e. He Is not a more talker for education. When the Methodist Female College was built Id Columbia teoeutly he gave them twenty aoree ot lam", today worth 92 000. He lh plainly and unr qulvocally for the dispensary. He b ileves it la now, and that It always will be, the best aolu clou of the whiskey question, but If he is elected Governor he will purge it from any corruption which may now Infest It. He doesn't believe prohibition can be enforced and In support of his belief he cited his personal experiences In search of lemonade In Maine, and soda water in Kan 8SB. OTIIEH CANDIDATES. The Hon. T. C. McLeod, the only candidate for Lieutenant-Governor, made a short speech outlining his position on various matters. He favors a reformed dispensary. Messrs. R. M. McCown, of Florence, ( J. b. Morrison, of Chaiieston, L. M. Ragin, of Clarendon, candidates for j Secretary of State, were on hand and i made short speeches. ( Mr. J. Fraser Lyon, of Abbeville, , was the only oandidate for Attorney- ( General present. He went for the dls j pensary with gloves off, and was fre ( quently applauded by the antl-dlspen- , lary part of the audience. , Mr. L. G. Walker, of Greenville, \ candidal for Comptroller General, was next Introduced and gave his ] reasons why the people should vote for him. Comptroller General Jones, ( who is a oandidate for re-election, was , unable to be present on acoount of of- \ tloial business. I Col. Boyd, of Greenville, and Col. | uLM&eu, ui L-wiuuittua, one two candidate* for Adjutant and lnspeotorGreneral, next addressed the audience Mid solicited their votes. Hon. O. H. Martin, candidate for Superintendent of Eduoation, has no opposition. He, therefore, contented himself with telling two or three capital stories and pledging anew his devotion to the best interests of public education in the State. He favors the dispensary system because if the 9200,000 a year obtained by the schools from this source are removed and nothing is provided to take its place the result will be little short of calamitous. Messrs. Jas. Cansler, of Lancaster, Sellers, of Marlon, J. M. Sullivan, of Anderson, J. A. Summersault, of Richland, and Ool. J. II. Warton, the lnoumbent, all candidates for railroad commissioner, were introduced and A. ? uiauo aiiurt speecnes. i Col. Wharton was the last of the 1 candidates for State ofllce and Chairman Dennis announced as the last Speaker of the day Col. W. W. Lumpkin, of Columbia, who Is opposing , Senator Tillman for election to the United States Senate. When Col. Lumpkin came forward two or three "wool hats" Indifferent parts of the audience started to cheering for Tillman. The crowd took up the call and for some little time so great was the noise that it was useless for the speaker to attempt to make himself heard. Col. Lumpkin bided his time patient ly, however, and when Chairman Dennis had finally succeeded in restoring order he started right in to pay back In his own coin the man who had star3d the cheering for Senator Tillman.

Massacre of Jews by the Cfficials at Bialystok Should SHOCK THK WORLD Worst Crueltv Russia Hss Ever Boea Guilty Of. Jewish Father, Moth er. Daughter and San Laahed I Together by Torturers and * i . Beaten ta Death. The m&asacre of the Jews at Blaly stck the 11 rat of last week must have been something awful. The correspondent of the New York American visited all parts of the town, taking evidence from both Jewish and Chris tian residents. Hero Is what he says: The massacre was essentially offlolal. The police, military holligans and the Blaok Hundred played subordinate roles in ever case. At a period when a mass of butcheries occurred the polloe and soldiers either actively assisted or encouraged the butchers. There are many auteutlcated cases of soldiers themselves porpetratlng slaughter. In the B jyare district, where the worst massacres occurred, the soldiers of the Uglltsky, Sixtythird Regiment, accompanied by two Dflloers, massacred seven Jews at Gep ler's saw mill. Full details of this tragedy were given mo by the surviv ng manager. When the soldiers were >ccupled with looting, their viotlms tought refuge In a small wooden hou&e >n which at 6 o'clock on Friday evenng the soldiers tired suddenly Many Jews of this district, espeolaly girls, became las&ne. The effloers ordered the inmates to ;ome out one by one. Five of them wore shot dead as they emerged from the house and six were hacked to pieces iy sabres. One remained In the louse, an old woman named Kautsoh, seventy years of age, and the soldiers lurned the house and she perished In ihe flames. In other oases the soldiers were merely onlookers. In Souvoroff streets i prosperous Jew named PodlatchefT lept a leather workshop. The proprietor, his relatioes, named Flrst?ami, and six others were slaughtered. 1 Inspected the dabbled with pools if hlnnri unr) friomonto r\t ?.???? iwwuun wi ucrni <VliU nalr are sticking to the walls. Firstcnann was the first killed. He was ihot by a gendarme named Sohultae. Then the Hooligans stripped the corpse; carved pieces out of the breast and drove nails into the nose. Four frightened employes took shelter In an outhouse the Hooligans broke It open and beat them to death. The Holdlers looked on, and the Hooligans were unmolested. The young son of the proprietor was saved by the soldiers who cried, "Enough; don't kill the boy 1 ' IIOU8K OF IIOKllOIl. Outside this house 1 saw a younth wearing the blood-stained oiothes of a slaughtered mother. In many oases whole families were exterminated. 1 visited a house In old Boyare itreet occupied by Alnsteln, a resptct sd teacher, who with his mother, daughter and two sons, were done to death by Hooligans underthe command jf a disguised police tflloer while soldiers were present. At first the solilers fired Into the house and a police nan ordered the family to save themtelves in the fields. There after tying 'ather, son, mother and daughter together, they were beaten to death, ihe police meantime fidnt? at ran. lorn. Two witnesses aasure me that nails were hammered^into the son's face be ore his death. In the held are pools )f blood. Everywhere Innocent ihlldren stand arguing beside these ghastly pools, talking about whom *aoh belongs to. Next door lives a woman named Levin, with olght ohll Iren, whoss husband was oarved to pieces In her sight. Throughout town for two days the massacres continued. Fiendish tortures and mutilation of the oorpes lnvari ibly followed the masaores with active ir passive co-operation of authorities. La many oases the police taolbly auth jr'zed the buthery by ordering the Eloollffans t/l Hilar* n? n .? .r..? (TMIMUUIM 1I1UIY1Uials. I interviewed two person who isoaped by bribing the soldiers. One flrl, living on Alexander street, after ler father had been bayonnetted, paid k soldier 20 roubles that she might be ipared herself. Both Jews and Christians agree .hat many disguised policemen were imong the Hooligans Most of the rlotima of the soldiers tried to defend i themselves, but while the Hooligan*- < >roke down the doors of their homes, i ihe soldiers looked on, and if a Jew lefended himself or even appeared at k window they fired a volley, killing he defenders or driving them into he hands of the Hooligans. Con- < ernlngthe Yladlmirsky and Uglitsky, 1 eglments, Jew witnesses affirm that ( lolonel Bukovsky directly encouraged \ he soldiers, crying: "Ubeitezhidcffl" tat is, kill the Jews. Torture before death repeatedly oourred, and mutilation afterward. * n Nikolai street a woman had a row bar thrust down her throat and ' aeh twisted. She finally was haoked 0 > death with a hatchet and left to 1 leed to death. The hands of Boyar, d tailor, were nailed to a table while * ? was clubbed to death. 1 D1UQOKD TO Hit DOOM. little girl whote body I taw Id the Jewish Hospital b * her leg wawed off while ths wat yet alive. Others were carved to death slowly. In the yard of the Jewtih Hospital, whers eighty-six corpse* were laid *tdr b/ side, I saw thirty oases of mutiiatlon. Iq some, noses were out > ff Id others the eers were out? fif. la many oases nalle were driven in* the faoe or skull. One old mail ha<1 his eyes torn out. A clerk named Bernstein was dragged from a train and battered to death. His body was afterward found In a field, handle**, and with a sharp ened stick driven Into the skomaoh. Ths oompltol y of official*, soldiers and polioe has been established by unoontrovertable evidence, and wtu unquestionably he confirmed In the c.fflctal report,. St. (Jhepkln, a member of the Duma Inquiry Commission, has established that the massacre was nob ineplr^d from St. Petersburg, but by local off! rials, who believe that the Czir's government desired the ma ?aore as a counterweight against *bt revolution. I have established the fact that the massaore was planned days in advance. For Instance, when the Jewish deputation on Tuesday asked a police officer named SheremetlefT for i permission to lay & wreath on the grave of a murdered police master namsd DorgatchotT. Sherometletf oynloally answered, "You'll get an answer on Thursday," which was the first day of the killing. Dergatchoff was a clever and humane man, beloved by Jews and Christians. His murder by the Jew baiters gave his subordinates freedom to execute their plot. LAID TO TIIK GOVKUNOtt. The Governor of Grodno Province it equally guilty. He arrived Thursday evening and stayed only two hours. lit did nothing to stop the massacre, and worse violence followed his visit. The appointment by bhe Duma of an Investigating commission caused a cessation of slaughter. The small proportion of wounded to killed shows the Impunity with which the murderers were allowed to tlnish their victims. Some of these were thrice killed by bullets, knives and cudgels. Every ravaged house 1 visited shows that the raiders were left in possession for hours. A re m&rkable feature of this massacre Is the absenoe of outrages on the women. Though thirty were killed, there is no authenticated case of outrage discoverable. This is explained bt cause the H ooligans and troops got their orders only to "kill." The precise number of deaths oan not be learned. There are eighty-six dead now in the Jewish hospital and even lu the Christian hospital, but the oorpses of those dragged from the brain and killed were hurled without being counted. The material destruction is enormjus. la four Important streets nearly every window, door and shutter Is broken, exoept In the Christians houseH. M.ny of the wealthier Jews escaped, owing to the Iron gates of their court yards, but the soldiers tired through the windows. In one house 1 saw thirty ritle bullet holes in the windows, though there was nobody within save an old lady and a woman servant. The houses into which the mob broke were litterally destroyed. Even the wallpaper was torn down The rioters stole everything portable; even children's tovs wore smashed. The heavy furniture and the unsmash&ble things were thrown out of the windows. The merchants' acoount books were burned, and only the bare walls were left. In a bakery, where the owner was killed, the mob soaked the loaves of bread in a pool of blood, leaving behind an ironical noce. In Levin's mill, where Christians and Jews work together, the mobbibes cut the cloth and yarn belonging to the Jews leaving the Christian's yarn untouched It is estimated that the loss will amount to two million roubles The relatives of the vlotlms have been deprived of everything and are afraid to re-enter the house*.

It was this same Mesfewi who was to have been oruoltted for big tremendous crimes?It is known that he murdered not fewer than thirty six young women?and who was saved i from that fashion of execution by the ( outcry of the resident foregln officials. ' 11, u/nnlH ho im V\aa?? * v fiuMiu uccu UCblDI ll&d I these name officials not interfered < with Moroccan justice, for Mesfewi oefore he died underwent lingering J torture compared with which cruel- ! flxion would have been merciful. I TUB AltCII-MUEDKU's CltlMBH. I Mesfewi was a cobbler and public j letter writer. Associated with him in his crimes was an old woman \ seventy years of age named Annah. * Many girls of the city disappeared in j the last days of April and the parents , of one young woman traced her to the i cobbler's shop. Annah was put to i the torture and confessed. She told that the girls, who came ( to diotate letters, were treated to f drugged wine and then beheaded, t Twenty decapitated bodies were t found in a deep pit under the shop i and sixteen more In the garden. c Annah died under the torture and R Mesfewi confessed. By an ancient c Moorish custom he was condemned to b<? crucltied. f Ills cruoltlxion was set for May 2, but this form of punishment was given up because of the foreign olamor, and it was announced that Mes- c few! would be beheaded. His death 1 by the still more awful process of 1m- 1 murement shows that the Moroccan J authorities "blinded the eyes" of tue foreigners. J Mesfewi was kept in the Marakesoh J jail until outside attention was dull- * ed, and then, on May 15/his torture 8 began. Dally he was led into the market 1 place and whipped with switches of a the thorny accacia.

So the dally whippings went on, and when it was seen that despite all e care Mosfewl was falling Into exuaus 3 tion it was decided to carry out the N supreme sentence. This was that he 1 be waheo up alive la the public n market place. ii Tne ourrar who brings this news c from Maiakesoh to Tangier asserts o tuat the oiuer of execution before the ft Sultan's own signature, and the fact ii that the sentence was carried out in ii the great square of the city and In e> full view of the populaoe shows that v thetfllolals of Maraketci know the t! awful programme would not be inter- a fered with.

Q It has very thlok walls and in one of tl theBe, factuk the market plaoe, two r< masons dug a hole six feet high, two b feet wide and two feet deep. Mesfewl hi was very thin and these dimensions 0 gave u.e ooomed man quite a free space and some little air, for just as his fellow townsmen would not let nlm slip awav by too muoh flogging, so they did not intend to smother A him too qutokly. ol About three feet up two staples ^ with ohalns were llxed in the baok of w the recees in the wail and two more ai staples with ohalns were attached. The purpose of these was to keep the 01 victim ereot so that he might not T huddle down out of sight of the w srowd. 1 ? ' " be Mesfewl had not been told of his ** 'ate and when he was brought out of the prieoa on Monday morning he thought be was being led forth to his daily whipping. AS soon as be saw the expectant thousands, however, and heard their howls of hate he knew that his day had oome. Then he saw the hole dug tn the wall, and, being an old man, he knew what that meant. He had taken his whippings with fataliose fortitude, hoping he might die UDdtr the thorns, but when he was dragged toward the upright tomb he strugged with his Jailers and sfintofmed *ol mercy. Screaming he was thrust into th recess in the thlok wall, and, to'earn Ing, he was ohalned up. There tr was left for a while, for there was plenty of time. The masons stood aside and the orowd struggled and fought to get in the front rank, wk fflng in derision at the teraamlng old man and pelting him with the frightful filth and offal of the market place.

The stones and mortar rose to Mesfewl's knees aud then the chief jailer oame forward and gave him breflRUnd water. The masons again stood aside and again the orowds jeered and be-slabbered the viotlm. So it went on, course by course, stone by stoue, water and bread, until only Mesfewl's screaming head was jeen. me last; stones were thrust In place and Mesfewl's living tomb was 3ompletrd. But the crowd was not yet satisfied. Mesfewi was not dead, and the throng pressed forward and kept quiet to Hear the muffl d screams for mercy that came out of the wall.
