Wo have not said it before, but
occurred to is at the time that the
state Convention was not so much op?
posed to Instructions for Woodrow
Wilson, as it was to doing the exact
thing it hail been told it must do. on
pain of the BsrtOUS displeasure of the
one Infallible political guide of South
enroling, it was a Wilson Convention
in Sentiment, just as South Caroling
is a Wilson stato, i?ut tin- members
bnlked at currying nut the behests of
a self-constituted dictator, Childish
it may hava- >een. hut men are often,
hut Children of a larger size, and
there survive! in every man a trace
of that perversity that drives a child
to show his independence by refusing
to do the thing he is ordered to do
in the exact way ordered, although he
wants to do that Identical thing and
means lo d?t it. if he can find a way
of his own to do it. That is the im
nreaoton th.- proceeding! of the Con
mutton made upon us. although thoae
who directed tie fight against instruc?
tions w. ie in deadlv earnest and were
fighting Wilson in the house of his
friends, with the intent to do him
hurt if they could,
IT IS GOOD BISIM.SS ALUK.Iir.
Sumter newspapers
stirred by the pun
Tiines last Week, the
iroposed taking away
from this county a large portion of Its
territory, in our statement we ra?
ftered to the contribution of the coun?
ty of Sumter to the Seaboard rail?
road -i< being made in the shape ol
bonds, this, according to our content
por ii " a IS in,-!, i.ling. in that the
money wai h. a direct appropriation

Just the samt) without giving to the
taxpayers an opportunity to conaent.
The taking of the county's money t..

the taxpayers of Sumter county, tin.
I- no affair of oura, and it was onlj
alluded to been use we happen to
know that there is complaint about

warning lo those contemplating the
annexing movement against putting
themselves In the position of being
compelled to -it by ami see those in
control of aft ms in sumter appro?
priate COUnty money to give away to
U railroad or unv other scheme as an
nducement to establish enterprlsei in
tin eitv of Sumter, We do not blame
Ihf eitv of Sumter for getting all the
enterprises it run, It shows a live *p|r?
it. I ut when t takes from the count)
ireasur) mont*y without first obtain?
ing the consent of tin- taxpayers it is
enough t<> make those who are think?
ing about leaving us consider, The
city of Sumter is growing rapidly,
ami the larger r gets tin- aurer will II

thai lh< . nnexlng of a part ol
this territory proposition has I een
mentioned to m teveral tlmei by
some prominent cltlsen* of that ? ity.
ti? >t vary recently, but for lome time
back which convinces ue that ever
sin? ? Lee county was made, Sumter
his been figuring getting a slice of
Clarendon territory,?Manning Times.
Blthei the editor or the printer hit
upon exact y the right word to char?
acterise th? comments "f the Manning
Times un the propoaed annexation of
the Plnewood section of Clarendon
county to Sumter. "Illusions"?that's
it. Practically everything the Time*
i
bis said come under the head of "Il?
lusions," The town of Sumter does
not and cannot control the legislative
delegation, for the vote of the town
is only about one-third of the total
vote of the county. if residents
of the town are elected to the legls
lature it is bec ause the majority want
them, Furthermore, If the Plnewood
lection should be annexed t" Sumter,
tiie preponderence of county votes
would be greater than it Is at pres?
ent, Another ? Illusion'' is that the
legislative delegation Axes the ta.\
lev) for tin cunty. The faet is that.
in Sumter county, it has been this cus?
tom for many years for tin- county
board of commissioner* to make up
each year an estimate of the expenseJ
of the county nnd the levy for county
purposes IS made on this basis. The
legislative delegation really has noth?
ing to do Ait11 lixing the levy, ex?
cept to sec that the proper legislation
is secured lo make effective the rec?
ommendation of the county board of
commissioners, it is a fact worth
noting and remembering that not one
of the five members of the hoard is
a realdent ot the town of Sumter?one
comes from 3htloh, one WedgeAeld one
Rembert, one Brogdon and the Su?
pervisor from the Jordan neighbor
h.I, Another "Illusion" is the
statement ?<; to the 112,000 appropri?
ation to aid the city in securing" the
rights of way for the Seaboard. The
legislative delegation did nothing
more than secure the passage Of an
enabling ac authorizing the county
hoard of eonin Issloners to appro?
priate and pay over the money to
the city of Sumter for the purpose
specified, The grand jury, repre?
senting the entire county, only a small
minority of the body being residents
if the towr, after full and deliber?
ate consideration unanimously recom?
mended the appropriation. The
county boar I of commissioners sub
Sequent))', alter giving the matter full
conslderatlot . unanimously voted to
make the appropriation, ns authoris?
ed, and the money was paid over.
Another n atter that the Times ap
pean to regard us a bugaboo, but
which Is quite the reverse, is the
growth ami development of the town
of Sumter. The town now pay* more
than one-third ol the taxes of th<
county, practically all of which Is
Spent for the benefit Of the
. .>unty. on side of the town lim?
it-. The bigger the town and the
more taxes it pays Into the
Count)' treasury the less tin- blll'dell
the people of the county will have
to bear. The town of Sumter eon
tributes annually about $15,000 lo the
county ordinary fund and more than
|3,l. annually to the school fund for
th, SUpport Of the H( hOOlS outside the
eitv. A large and growing town in a
county is not an unmixed evil, as the
Times insinuates.
We have no idea the people oi
the Plnew.I section will be
deluded by the specious "illusions" of
the Times. rhey know the facts or
can easily ascertain them, and If they
decide that it will be to their inter?
est to annex to Sumter they will do
so, otherwise they will continue as
they are. If they ?ome im,. Sumter.
the) will be given a cordial welcome
and u fair deal thereafter, if they re
main In Clarendon the people of Sum
t< r v\ in continue their \ cry good
friends and neighbors, That's all
th. re is to it.

but he won ;i place on the Baltimore
delegation. Even this? victory is a
doubtful one, aa the Georgia delega?
tion goes to tin.- National Convention
bound by tin- unit rule and controlled
by men who are Watson's avowed
eni mies.
Though balked at every turn, Wat
eon tried valiantly to break tin- pow?
er of the so-called "ring." Watson
was Spoiling for a tight, while the
leaders wa re bent on having harmony
even if they had to use n bludgeon on
Watson t-> get it. The Mel'uttie dele?
gate was made a delegate at large in
recognition of his services in behalf
of Underwood, but he was denied a
voice in the naming of his fellow
delegates.
Watson was not treated very cour?
teously by the Convention. When he
tried to speak in opposition to the
ejection of delegates at large by ac?
clamation, he WJ i hissed and jeered
at from pit to gallery.
"You can't hi*.- and hoot me down."
he defied his opponents. But they
did. Watson giving up the struggle
after about fifteen minutes.
The episode furnished one dra?
matic moment?a moment when the
expected clash between Watson and
Thomas B. Felder appeared immi?
nent.
"You can't make oil and water
mix." Watson shouted. "Let us have
a separate vote on the delegates. I
don't want to have to serve with a
man who said he was going to skin
me like an eel. Let Watson's friends
vote for Watson and Felder'i friends
for Felder."
Felder, white with rage, rose in his
place anmng the Fulton county dele?
gation and shook his fist across the
footlights at Watson. Friends drag?
ged him back and kept him silent, al?
though it is doubtful if the crowd
would have remained Silent h>ng
enough to permit the two men to ex?
change compliments.
The convention wasted little more
time in talking, but proceeded to elect
by acclamation the eight men agreed
upon by the leaders. Watson retired
forthwith ami was seen no more on
the platform.

SWEET SOUNDS A MYSTERY
Remarkable Hindu Musical Inatrw
ment Puzzlea Those Who Hear It
for the First Time.
The Hindus have a number of mu?
sical instruments for which great
antiquity Is claimed. Of these there
Is one that Is very curious, not so
much by r
ture, but b
played in
Is not a si
a wind in
Instrument ui ^ru uooi^u. co?tto*eii
of two small silver trumpets with a
very delicate apparatus within.
When Ihe natives play upon this in
iitrument they invariably excite the
greatest wonJer in the foreigner, who
Is perplexed to determine how the
player produces the sounds, for he
does not place the instrument to his
lips, but adjusts it to his neck. For?
eigners have thought that a player of
auch rn instrument must be a ven?
triloquist, employing the trumpets to
convey a false impression.
It appears, however, that the vaca?
tions of tone are produced by the
variation in the quantity of air pro?
pelled through the instrument by the
pulsations of the neck.
Nothing could be more curious, it
Is said, than to witness a performance
upon this instrument and to hear the
foft, bweet, musical sounds that ernan?
nte from the silver trumpets.?Hir
