Tho correspondence between Governor Manning anrl Attorney General Peoples, which Is marie public tills morning, will create quits a sensation in the State. It baa been rumored th*t there was some thing being kept in the dark about thin matter, and the assertion has been made by prominent persons who affiliated with the preceding regime in State polities, that Governor Manning would not dare to give out the correspondence between him and the attorney general. Governor Munnlng has been ac cused of interfering with the attorney general lu the matter of the appolntmenr of his assistant, und (hat he had doue so in un offensive und dictatorial manner. The published correspondence will give the public ull the facts in the case, and they can Judge as ta whether or no* (?everner Manning ha:; interfered with the appointment of the assistant to the attorney general. Governor .Manning say.i that he was approached by Mr. Peoples after th? Anderson meeting lust summer and assured by Mr. Pee pi en that he would cooperate with him if lie could receive the nomina tion fpr governor, and thnt after he was nominated he asked Mr. Peoples to moot him In the law -office of Mr. Christie Honet, which Mr. Peoples readily did, and then ensued a conversation relative to the appointment of the assistant to the attorney geuerat. Governor Manning r;uys that Mr. Peoples stated that he would let him appoint tho assistant. This Gov ernor Manning states ho declined to do, and that Mr. Peeples then offered to submit tho names of tho men he was considering for the appointment, and that he would name no one us his assistant who was objectionable to Governor Manning. Another conference was had lotween Governor Manning and Attorney General Pec pies at the Torome Ifctel on the afternoon of the inauguration, [and at this conference, according to Governor Man ning, Mr. Peoples went oven further In .speaking of the unsatisfactory manner In which Mr. Domlnlck had performed the duties of assistant attorney gen eral, and that "to your (Peoples') groat embarrass aient'you could not get Mr. Dornt nick to resign." Much more was said about the way in which Mr. Domlnlck performed hin duties. Thore will hardly he anyone, whether or not a supporter of Governor Manning, who will question the wisdom of haying someone in thin Important office in thorough sympathy and accord with the policy of the administration. It would seem that for a person to hold on to the appointment and to "refuse to resign," Is an evidence of lack of ethical perception. Even though Governor Manning had .expressed no preference for an assistant It would seem that through deference to his feelings the at torney general would not have Insisted on making an appointment of an assistant wl.M was known to be ? bitter political, and, we are told, personal enemy of the governor. It certainly would be em barrassing to Governor Manning to call upon the office of the attorney general for cd vice on matters relating' to the policy of his admlulstratlon when,be knew beforehand- that snsh advice-would be give* ,by a, bitter 'partisan, trained In th? school of the niptft b|ttor partisan, ever known in the political his tory, of South'Carolina. It la a condition of affairs that ' vVouid* fully Justify Governor Manning In re fusing to ask for any legal advice from this depart-' prcuV.pf the.State's government. ... . ?'.,., ,' Dot there is another feature .of It. Did Mr. Pgeples or not ntakq the statements to Governor Manning attributed -to hint? If he did, as Governor Manning asserts, and In the presence of Mr: Denet, and later denies-them, he,is not Worthy to bold the high office of trust, uhd he should bo removed from office. It is Incredible that Governor Manning should be fabricating In his statement as to. what took place in the conference, between him and Mr. Peoples. If the matter comes before the legislature, this phase of, the:.controversy should be gone Into thoroughly, and the truth made known. . It is unfortunate for the administration that it should t.3 forced to start off In this way. It would have been better, perhaps, if tho principal Stato of ficials had all been antl-Ulease men; so that there could' have been harmony among the heads of the different departments of the State government. It was known that Mr. Peeplco was a supporter of Governor Blesse, and In spite of that fact, be was reflected. How much of his support came as a consequence of such conferences before the election as. wan reported by Governor Manning as taking place after.the Anderson political speaking, is'not known, but It is perhaps oafo to say that Governor Manning Was not tho only one to be approached in 'this "way. If will he unfortunate If the present ad ministration (a to be hampered by this anti admin istration' spirit, and we trust that something may yet he done to restore peace and harmony. "NO NEWS IS G,OOI> NEWS.* ^^^^^ ...,t ? ? No news from our sotons yet in regard to their I determination to make the appropriation for county farm demonstrator. Wo trust.thai no news In this I ease is good news, and that within a short while we shall learn that they have decided to do as well ai our sister counties djd. Anderson could not afford to have it said that her delegation was not progrei slve enough to make an appropriation which would mean bo much to "tlie terming interests of the coun ty, it would be a black eye, and would giro the lie to her boasteq superiority in progressive measures. To 'secure the services of an expert farm demon strator at one-third of the actual coat of his ser vices would be driving a good/bargain. Suppose, for instance, that The Intelligencer had the offer of an expert machIqlst operator on the payment of one-third,his salary, what, would bo thought of the management if the offer were to be refused? The store would be true of any other business 'concern. Tw apply the same business judgment to the affairs of the county would hardly be asking too much of thoso, who are expected to direct these matters. So wo confidently expect that this fepproprlatton he .made.' '-': ' ' " - > v ' j - -?? u , . . t YOt?

THE PASTOWS SALARY' This writer Is not ? pastor, h\ii Hut-'} Ing the past few weeks; tie has; coh- j vefircu with a number of'these ser vants of God in the"various d?nomi nation a. ' In every instance churches were reported to-be slow In paying their pastor. Now, if a pastor Us God's appointed man to preach .the ko 3 pel in a community, and If the church in said community promises to pay him, so that he shall, according to God's Word "Live of the Gospel," then such a' promise becomes not merely an obligation to a man; it 1b an obliga tion, a promise to God'. These are times of retrenchment, of cutting down expenses; but the Scriptures have never warranted our cutting down our obligation to God; but, on the contrary, temporal ad versity, as well as spiritual decline, follow such a course. The church and the faithful pastor are two of the greatest assets any J community can have. For they mean temporal and spirt uni prosperity, I would venture not a reader of these lines would live in a community where churches could not be reached; Really ho and-his family would: not be sate to-live there. Lawlessness and . all. fornm-of sin would be> abroad. .' Pastors also have financial, obliga tions. They must live, dress well, and many of them preach,all the funerals l?' reach, paying their 'own transpor tation charges,, with not a cent' tram th?' bereaved family to replace same. Then. It he gets in debt; some Of'those same people he has gratuitously ser ved will ask. "how camt? ehr pastor j so deep In ' debt?"-Their own negll genco constitutes a part of the answer. The remaining part lies, perhaps with othors who have not given his help less condition a passing thought. But thih pastor has done - hfs part. The year' baa past. Another year haa come in, and till ho is unpaid; and humili ated because of debt, where, if -he had his rights, he could pay ami look the world squarely in the face. Paying a pastor is not a hard .propo sition. A small amount from each would do the work, and hurt no one, A bushel of corn will brjng one dollar, so that those who haven't the ready ' cash, cap In moat cases find it by celling something they have in order %c' pay obligations, to .the Lord. This pi courser, applies.' tb, Ahe m?cfttafe ?f other objecta of church work; but I am following the title of my article, and not discussing church work in allot its phases. * Failure to pay our paator. if wo can do so, constitutes an off enge against the chttrch.. and. those - w h o , fl a 11 y - ig nore this obligation should, be an.jwfer ahcl to that twdy for rcmpsshess In doty. Churches should prayerfully in .vesU^ae. st$sh casesi requiting ail who are able to contribute, and them selves contributing to those who are not able to contribute. Thoroughly investigation will dis close many ailments,, and will also furnish ths remedy. Many will he found, whose membership'Is 'mile* from their honvx Approached by the pastor'or mem hers of thotr" nearest' church.' oh the! subject o? bringing'their iett?rB, said j members will begin to tell how their young days were spent la the old com munity, and that their /parents arel buried in the old church cemetery.' and that they want their membership to remain in the old church.-On the other hand, If a deacon of the old church, asks them for a contribution. Rome of them at least will reply, "well, I haven't heard my pastor preach at all.-und bo I don't think "you h h on Id expect me to pay for that which I did not enjoy. I live near another church (naming it) and they expect me to help them. But hsre'? 51.00." So the man with his broad acres goes on his way, excusing himself both here and there for what he has failed to do. I believe that in every church where this Is true the names of all such should constitute a drop list. Thons who have intelligent Christianity are not seeking for excuses, but are-try ing to do tbelr duty day by day. i. I sincerely hope the above reflection will find a place In the minds of all who may read them, and that they will be more rigidly put into practice. J. T. MANX. LYCEUM NUMBER ?JE? 4 Ml .<!
