HOW HE VOTED On Certain Bills and Why He Did So Stated * > . BY SfclNATORMANNtNG. Hi Refutes the Charges Made Against Him by Blease and Gives Good Reasons for All the Votes He Cast in the Senate. The following statement from Senator Manning explains Itself: "1 did not propose to bo drawn avvav frnm rilan nf mmnolnn *-? Mff w/ ^ J*/ VI Vt?UU|;AI^U Ui into any oouvroversy, but I Intended to conduct my of. npaign on a high plane, without mud-sllnglng for I do not intend to ask for the suffrage of the people of South Carolina by detracting from or Injuring the character or reputation of my opponents. But, inasmuch as mention has been made of my votes In the legislature on certain measure*, 1 feel it necessary to keep the record straight. 1 will therefore have to oorrect certain statements which have been made. "Mr. Blease In his speech In Columbia spoke with a great deal of feeling when discussing the work of the Investigating committee of the cruelty of injurlnu'a man's reputation by Insinuations or suspicions. He has not observed this rule in his reference to me, for it will be found that in giving iv record vote on certain meas ures He has given only a part of that record on those matters, and has done me an Injustice and created a wrong luuprehsiuu. ixe m*y noe nave mi&ena ed this, and be said to me that be would himself make the corrections to which 1 called his attention In a per Bonal conversation, but he has not yet done so, and 1 will therefore set this record straight myself. 1 wish to say, with reforence to the bill regulating the rate cf Interest in 1893, reducing the rate of interest from. 8 to 7 per cent., that I voted against that bill. My only business at that time was farming. 1 was a borrower of money annually, but I felt that if money lenders could not get the current rates for money from farmers that they would lend money elsewhere, and the farmers, Instead of getting n ouey from banks with which to conduct their business, would be forced to get advances from commission merchants on a lien at a rate of interest running from 10 to 80 per cent, for advances. For this reason, i voted against the reduction in the rate and believe that that action has proved to be in the Interest of the agricultural class. "On the child labor bill of 1900, 1 voted against the bill because of au understanding had with Col. J as. L. Orr, Mr. Lewis Parker, Capt. Ellison Smyth, that they would use their efforts to have the mills regulate this matter themselves, If we did aot pass the law. I then on that understanding voted against the bill. They made this t flirt with the mills, but failed. The following year 1001, the act was again introduced and 1 voted for the bill, worked strenuously for Its passage and spoke in support of the bill, as will be found in Senate Journal, 1001, pages 205 and 340. 'On the bill to prohibit trusts, Senate Journal 1902, pages 462-472, my reasons for voting as 1 did are as follows: There was a section in the bill exempting agreements with regard to the sale of agricultural products, hefore this, an act had been passed in Tennessee and Texas containing a similar provision. The act of Texas had been thrown into the courts and had bean passed on by the supreme -court of the United States. The decision of that court was to the effect that the whole act was invalid, inasmuch as this discriminating clause affected the whole act in favor of one class and rendered the act null and void. "In the senate, I moved to strifco out that section, because it would make the bill unconstitutional, null and void. 1 was trylnur to save the bill. Tne senate refused to strikeout that section and 1 then said that in the face of the decision of the supreme court of the United States, which was so clear and positive, it was simply ohi id's play to pass an act when A - A. A. l ^ ~ k. ..1J 11 w? kijcw tuaw iiLio aub wuuiu u*> nun - %fed void. "As I said, my purpose was to have a bill that would stand the test of the "ourts and prohibit trusts aud monopolies. "Mr. Blease again quotes from the record in part and does me an injustice in the matter of the relief bill. I opposed the bill when It was introduced beoauso it was stated, both by the railroad authorities and the employees of the road, that it was entirely optional with the employees whether they joined this relief department or not. But Mr. Blease falls to state my vote on the bill the next year. \ "In the meantime, I haa investigated this matter and made inquiries among the railroad men themselves. 1 supported the bill in 1003, beoause i was satisfied that it was not optional with the employees, but was praotioally a matter of compulsion that < they should join this department or -would lose their position. My vote 9, f >r tie bill li found In the Senate Journal, 1903, page 243. "With reference to my position on the Caughman act of 1900, 1 will t* I Voted against a bill In 1892 ? Jui provided for a partition iu car, but , gave no separate toilet acxmmoda- ' tlon for the Bexes, which would have been indecent. This bill failed because of its glaring defects. The separation of the rac<m was provided for by the act of 1898, when 1 was not a member of the legislature. When the bill was before the senate In 1900 to amend this bill, 1 voted against an Indefinite postponement, whioh would have meant the death of the bill. Certain amendments wera ' put In in the senate whioh did not meob my approval, and 1 voted against the bill as amended. On the report of the committee of conference, the house refused to agree to the senate amendments. On motion that the Benate recede from Its amendments, it was moved to lay that motion on the table and on that motion to table I voted "Nay" whioh shows that I favored the bill as passed by the house and as tinally passed, with one minor amendment, and which amendment 1 agreed to in committee of free conference. Senate Journal 1900, page 412. "I was then put on the committee of free conference on the Caughman bill. That committee recommended that the senate recod from some of Its amendments. 1 as one of this com mtttee, of free oonferenoe, approved the bill as passed, whioh was satlsfac tory to the author of the bill, and 1 "Oted for it as it passed.

"Richard I Manning." Foil From Trout lo. A caboose and two passenger ooaoh- ' es, left on the curve of the long over 1 head bridge by which the Seaboard ' enters Columbia from the south, were 1 knocked off and thrown into a heap [ of splinters twenty feet below Wed- ; uesday morning, by a freight coming 1 into the city.

In his message to oongress in December, lyOo, President Roosevelt i said: "All contributions by corporations to any political committee or for i any political purpose should be forbidden by law; directors should not be permitted to use stockholder's money for such purposes; and, moreover, a prohibition of this kind would be, as. far as it went, an effective method of stopping the evils aimed at in corrupt practice acts. Not only should both the national and the several state legislatures forbid any officer of a corporation from using the money of the corporation in or about any election, but they should also forbid such use of money.in connection with any legislation savo by the em ployment of counsel in public manner for distinctly legal services." Several bills along this line were introduced, but they failed to pass. WiIV)Beater Killed.

A dispatch from Sebaitopal says Vice Admiral Ohouknln, commander of the Black Sea flaet, who was shot Thursday supposedly by a sailor of the battleship Otohakoff, died Friday morning without regaining consciousness.

Wore Radical Than Gver, and Still Believes In Principle of Bimetallism But Says Question Has Been Settled by the Discovery of Gold. William J. Hryan, who Is still In Loudon, haviug had tho opportunity )f reading American nowspapers, contented Thursday to discuss some of ihe questions which have been raised ilnce he has again become prominent is a presidential possibility. lie said: "1 notice that 1 am now described vs a conservative, and In order that jhere may be no misunderstanding on .hat subject permit me to say that in >ne sense I always have been a contervatlve. The Democratic policies ire conservative In that they embody )ld principles applied to new condl ilons. There was nothing new In prin5lple In either of the platforms on which I stood. We were accused of ittacklng property, when In fact the Democratic party Is the dcfenner of property because It endeavors to draw die line between honest accumulation py honest methods on the one side ind predatory wealth and Immoral net hods on the other. It is to the uterest of every honest man that dig loucsly should be exposed and punshed; otherwise the doservlng are apt io suffjr for the undeserving. If, lowever, by the word conservative .hey mean that 1 have changed my position on any publio question or moderated my opposition to corporate iggrandlzement they have a surprise waiting for them. 1 am more radical than I was in 1896 and have nothing io withdraw on economical questions which have been under discussion. "The only qusatlon we discussed In 189(1 upon which there has been any ip parent change, Is the silver question, and that has not been a change in the advocates of bimetallism but In jonditlons. We contended for more money and urged the free coinago of diver as the only means then In sight pf securing It. The increased production of gold has brought In part the oenelit we expected toscoure from the restoration of silver. The per capita volume of money in the United States Is almost 5 per cent, greater now than It was In 1896, and the benefits brought by this Increase have not only Indicated the quantltive theory of money but havo proven the benefits of the lar^ea amount of money. No advocate of the KOld standard can claim the triumph of his lo^ic. "I believe In bimetallism, and I believe that the restoration of silver would brln# still further prosperity, besides restoring par In exchange between tfold an(j gilver-usln^ countries, but I recognize, as do all other blmetallists whom 1 have met abroad, that the unexpected and unprecedented increase in tfold production has for the present removed the silver question as an issue. "While the money question has waned In Importance other questions have been foryln^ to the front and to these questions we must apply the same principles we applied to the money question, and seek to secure the tfrcatcst #ood to the neatest number by legislation which conforms f.n t.liP firv?f.rJno nf knntl /-.? oil V V..V ?vvw. .MV> VA ll^UUO M.KJL Oil and spuclal privileges for Done. "On the new questions many will act with us who were against us on the money questions, for, notwlth standing the discussion of that ques tlon, millions did not understand it and were frightened into opposition. We cannot expect the support of any one who Is interested In taking advantage of the people either * through trusts or through any other illegitl mate form of business. Our efforts should be to distinguish between those corporations which are legitimate and those aggregations of wealth which are organized for purposes of public plunder and appeal for support to those only who are willing to have the government protect each person in the enjoyment of his own earnings. "The newspapeis have been trying t? create friction between what they call 'old friends' and 'new friends' in politics. Those are friends who are working towards a common end, and each campaign brings to some extent a new alignment. In 1800 the party lost many Democrats and was recruited by a great many who had been lt^publloana up to that time, and we welcomed them. In 1000 some came hack who were against us in 1806, and we did not shut the door against them. I have no Idea that tbe party will require tickets of admission In biie oomiug uaiupaigu. usuauy parties are so anxious to secure recruits that past differences are not emphasized If there is a sincere agreement on present issues. I do not know that we can find a better plan than the Bible plan, which admits the eleventh hour oomeer to a place in the vineyard and to share the reward with those who began earlier. 1 think this is sound politics as well as sound religion, provided the new recruit oomes to work and not to interfere with the other laborors. But of oourse when an overseer has to be selected, experience cannot bo left out of consideration. The worker who came late would, If honest, be too modest to assume an attitude of superiority over those who had tolled dur ing the earlier hours. While the question is one of purpose, a man who reoogma-s the dangers that threateu our country and Is an*ions to avert them will not tlnd It difficult to estab lish friendly relations with those who saw dangers at an earlier date. "If the differences between the sincere and the pretended friends reform cannot be discovered before, they will become apparent when the platform is written, for, If present indications count for anything that platform Is likely to be so plain that no one can mistake It, and so strong that no enemy of Democratic principles will be drawn to the party." Mr. Bryan added that he would discuss the trust, tariff, railroad and labor questions, imperialism and other Issues at length when he reached America. Mr. and Mrs. Bryan were tho guests of Ambassador and Mrs. Reid at luncheon at Dorohester house Thursday. Among tho*e lr.vited to meet Mr. and Mrs. Bryan were Sir Elward Grey, the Rev. Dr. William Boyd Carpenter, tho foreign secretary; the bishop of Ripon and Mrs. Boyd Carpeutor, Charles Page Bryan, D. p. Mills and Secretary Rldgely Carter of the American embassy. THE LOST .KOUND. Tho Hot. Win /Ytkon Holly Turns l'|? In ChatloHton.' Rev. W. Aiken Kelly, formerly pastor of Grace Methodist church, North Augusta, after being lost to his congregation for nearly two years, has been fouud, and the opinion prevailing at the time of Mr. Kelly's disappearance that he was suffering mentally is practically substantiated. It will be recalled that during a period wnen efforts wore being made to prod", a now nnnroh In "NTnrfVi a nmiaf* w. v?v t.

The morning of his disappearance he was iu the city of Augusta and visited several supporters of his church, some of the members and seveial friends. Lite the same afternoon he was seen to board the car bound for North Augusta and just before dark was notioed by two or three people to be wandering about listlessly a considerable distance from bis home. Later, during the night, when Mr. Kelly did not oome home, Mrs. Kelly appealed to several friends In the village and a search was Instituted, but no trace 01 the preaoher could be found. The following morning further search was mado, and telegrams were sent to nearby towns, but as the day wore on there were no results. A dispatch from Charleston says the llev. William Aiken Kelley has been discharged from the Roper Hospital and Is now at home recuperating from the effects of the operation upon his brain, removing a clot of blood, which It is thought, will result in ills complete restoration to hoalth and enable him to resume his ministerial duties.

Attorney-General Youmam Bays That Lanahan Has Denied Parkers Testimony. Mr. Lolioy F. Youmans, attorney geueral, was instructed by Gov. Heyward about a mouth ago to proceed with prosecutions against certain dispensary officials. Mr. Youmans has been ill since that time. Wednesday day he wrote to Gov. Heywary, in of feet, that ho could not proceed on the testimony which the supreme court ordered Mr. Parker to #1*0 before tho Investigating committee. Following is the letter to Gov. Ileyward: Dear Sir: it was stated in the Columbia State of June 8th that "the announcement was made yesterday that Governor Ileyward had notified the attorney general, Mr. Leltoy F. Youmans, to proceed with criminal prosooutlon against dispensary officials, suspected of misconduct by reason of the testimony of Mr. Lewis W. Parkor." Tne tostlmony of Mr. Lewis W. Parkor referred to is to bo found in tho issue of the State of Juno 7th. On the receipt of your letter, 1 bad a conversation with you, in which 1 stated my views in regard to the most important fundamental legal proposition oounectod with the matter. As the announcement referred to in the Issue of The State of Juue 8 th has been often iterated and reiterated without any mention of what transpired in the conversation between us, 1 think it proper to state in writing brietly the position 1 then took, and to which 1 still adhere. It will bo seen by reference to tho testimony of Mr. Lewis W. Parker, alluded to, that it consists in the main of portions of what was said to him in conversation by a Mr. Lanahan, who is a citizen and resident of Maryland, and whom our criminal courts have no power to compel to testify to the matters which Mr. Parker says Lanahan told him. So much of the statement as relates to misconduct on the part of dispensary officials, con* slsts solely of what Parker says Lanahan told him (Parker), as having been communicated to him (Lanahan) b> L. W. Pyokin, a member of tho dispensary board. 1 did not then think, and 1 do not now tnink that any tiling revealed by tho testimony of Mr. Parker alTorded tenable ground on which any prosecution proper and necessary to vindicate the law oould be instituted against a dispensary otllcial. Parties charged with the commission of such oileiiaes as are spoken of, can legally be arrested only on warrants Issued upon probable oause of the commission of those offenses supported by oath or affirmation. (Constitution, art, 1, see 16.) A warrant is a precept under hand and seal of a person authorized to take up any offender to be dealt with acoording to due course of law; is properly issuable now upon affidavit, whioli affidavit must accompany the warrant. A prosecution at this stage of the affair, based on the testimony given would, in my Judgment, be premature^ ill-advised and unwarranted, it will be remembered, too, that In the very carefully prepared resolution, by which the legislative committee was appointed to investigate the State dispensary, the committee is to report Its tindlngs to the general assembly. What further developments may be held before this committee I, of course, cannot anticipate. I have so often seen Ill-advised and premature proseoutions result In the miscarriage of lustice that 1 have found it very unsafe to depart from established precedents and well-established nrap.Mnpu a? i understand from your letter, the investigating committee has made no report to yOu of this matter, and what you saw In the public prints produced before the investigating committee as the result of a ruling of the supreme court, 1h the manner in which the subject was brought to your attention. When the oonduot of lilack was reported to you by the investigating committee, as there was no atlldavit or sworn statement, I advised you not to take any steps looking to his removal as & member of the board until there had been at least an atlldavit 01 sworn statement of what objectionable action it was stated that lilack had been guilty. on being Informed of this by you, the allldavlt was at once supplied. 1 see no reason, if a prosecution is to be instituted in this case against a dispensary official, why it should be taken out of the domain of the goneral and well-established law. It is perhaps worthy of remark in this connection that the press which Informed us of Parker's testimony, informs us also that Lanahan does not agree to the version made before the investigating committee. Very respectfully, LkRoy F. Youmans, Attorney Qeneral. itiAiiy Mead IiOttors.

SHE KNOWS NOW. A White Woman Irom the North | Assaulted Near Aiken BY HER NEdRO PET, Who Made Mis .Escape, and the Officers are Trying to Catch 111m. ^ She Was a Qreat Friend to The Negro Race Generally. A dispatch from Aiken says news of a horrible crime thai was perpetrated about live miles from mat piace reached there Wednesday afternoon, but a coherent account could not be obtained until this morning. On Monday morulng about 2 o'clock Mrs. L. S. Ohapln was assaulted in her home by a negro man named Isaac Knight. The fact that Mrs. (Jhapin is an old lady, at least (15 years of age, makes the crime all the more revolting. The negro wno assaulted her had been In her employ for over three years. Mrs. Chapln lived In the hmmn wit.n ? < ? ?1 1 ~ ? ? ? ...au uu n in VO ^UISUIl. The negro man, who lived io a room at the side of (he house next to the Kitchen, and a negro family living in the vard, were the ouly ones who stayed near her. lsaao Kulirlit had boon ofT all day Suuday and did not come back to Mrs. (Jnapiu's home uutil early Monday morning. Hearing a knock at the entrance of the house, Mrs. Cnapln went to the door to see who it was. She opened the door and found it was Kuight. She went Into the dining room and was tixlug the negro seme supper when he committed the assault. Tnc negro left the community and has not oeeu seen since. Mrs. Chapln lias no near white neighbors, so she could not report the case at once. When the sheriff learned of it yesterday morning, he went to the community at once and tried to capture tne negro, but ho could tind no traces of him. The crime had not become goueraliy known iu Aiken until late yesterday afternoon, when a posse of about 50 men under the leadership of tne silent! organized for the purpose of catching the negro. It was distinctly understood before they left here that there would be no lynching, but tbat they would do everything possible to catch tne negro and nave him placed in jill. They left here last evening and searched the country thoroughly, but they could llnd no traces of him. further search will be made for him, Mrs. Chapin wanted the case droppea, as she did not wish to appear in court In such a case, but, of course, the sheriff aud the people of the community will not allow the negro to go unpunished if it Is possible to capture nim. Every effort will be made to bring the scouudrel to justloe, but the people have agreed that there will oe no lyncnlng. The posse went armed last night so as to be prepared to meet any opposition, for it was rumored that tne negroes In the community Intended to give some trouble. Mrs. (Jnapia is a Northern lady, and before her misfortuue did not understand the negro, dhe had put every iruib id lvuignt ana uad even considered Hicxi one equal of tne average wuite oiAu. Sua nail treated him as well a-? she could have treated auy w/nte person, unuking tliao he was a gentleman. .Sue even declared on one occasion that he was a perfect gentle* man. Knight was always respectful to Mrs. (Juapln, but it could oe seen by Los actions among other negroes tnat me treatment mat Lie was receiving was giving him a false i lea of tils importance. Ou Monday morning tne nature of (he negro assorted itself; it could be held in check no longer. Mrs. Uhapin was originally from Manchester, Vermont, but she has made ner Home near Aiken for a number of years. Wiiite people have warned her several times tnat she should not stay aione with no one near ner except negroes, but sue would pay no attention to tnem, thinking that the negro was worthy of trust. She came houth with tne New lt.igiander's usual Idea of negro cuaracoer, and no argument that could oe put fortu could snake the negro from the pedestal on which she had placed him. Walls the white people of tne community are not in sympathy with Mrs. <Jha~ pin's treatment of the negro they are determined that he shall he brought to justice. A white lady has been insulted?that Is enough, punishment must follow. Wnen the posse collected last night there were no signs of mob violence. They were a quiet determined body of men bent uuou the ftADtiirn *?f scoundrel who had dared to insult a lady. Although they did out succeed la capturing him last night, they are determined to search for aim until he Is captured!
