The Anderson Mail I few da;a .go
printed a lengthy leview of th?? po
btical situation in South Carolina, in
which the men who h \e bsstl . id
era In seeking and winning otlloi in
the State durlm; the last quarter of
a century are generally and quite
severely enthused. There Is consider?
able truth and some Justice in the
criticisms, but with all the assertions
and conclusions we cannot agree.
The men who have been leaders
and have won olllce by virtue of their j
leadership are blamed for all the mis?
takes that have been made and all
the wrongs that have been committed
hi the namo of the State. That the
leaders have their full share of re?
sponsibility is patent, but a calm ami
Impartial survey of the political rec?
ord will coin .n e nil mind* amen?
able to reason that the legislature ha>
b-eeu more responsible for btMfctlil
progressive and constructive legisla?
tion than the men who h ive held the
office of governor.
Even Qoi Please, vicious as he
was. and lacking in almost every qual?
ity that a public servant should have
ommended and nought to have en?
acted some measures of u constructive
nature, but which the legislature re?
fused or failed to adopt other gov?
ernors suffered more at the, hands ol
en progressive and politics ridden
legislatures than Oov. I Pease; and
Munning has not b.-en the leasl
6^ he sufferers In this inspect Re
hiss recommended and sought to in?
fluence the enactment of more Bjftega
ures of a constructive nature than
any of his predecessors within tin I
past flfteeTr*7ears or more. Some ot
theee recommendations have been
enacted into law. but more of them
have been side-trucked. In spite oi
the evident unfriendliness of the
writer of the article toward Oov. Norn
n|ng he was not able to utterly coa
densn his administration, although hi
did seek to damn it with faint praise.
Oov. Manning has fe.v friends In
and around Anderson, in consequence
of his action in sending the militia tc
Anderson at the time of the trouble
between the cotton nrtlls and their
operatives. The course he adopted
kept the peace and resulted In o

basis that ga\ su? ? * mm! lust < v t

necessary that Dr. Bikes should make
ihs same statement; for there are
ny to make it Cor him. Dt. SUtes
has keen in Sumter frequently nOM
each time that he cornea he gets a.
Stronger hold upon our citizens.
This morning he made a mcmor- 1
able address at the Boys' High Scho>l
on England oar Comrc.de. He held
the Undivided attention oT his whole
audience lor over an hour ard in
that audience there were many younff
hoys. He gave the v. nole audience
a new conception of America's deht
oi gratitude to England. It was a
wonderful exposition of the truth; but
the truth that has long been clouded
by arrogance, ignorance, and unwar
lanted prejudice.
This address is so striking and so
true that Dr. Sikes has been induced
his many friends and admirers to
lie it as a bulletin of COker Col?
lege. This will he a genuine OOSdsie
button to history and literature.
At noon Dr. Sikes gave Just as*
striking an address on Washington,
in which he demonstrated beyond
?a: stion that he is really the first in
r. first in peace, and first in the
hearts of his countrymen. There was
* a single member ^of his large nejfc

the pride of belonging to a race and
country great enough to rear a r.ian
