A proposition was made to the
town council last. Monday evening
for lighting the town by elect ricitv,
but there being no definite under
standing as to the cost, council wise
ly postponed the matter until the
company was iml a position to fix a
price so that tihe cost might he
known before any contrat wans
made. As we understand it, the
Manning Oil Mill and 11111uminatinlg
Company wanted council to name a
sum whieh they would be willing to
appropriate for lighting purposes,
and then the comipatny would take
the matter under advisemuent, and if
the figures offered by council were
sufficient they would make a con
tract to furnish electric lights.
Council, however, regarded this as
putting the cart before the horse,
and determined to not consider the
matter at all until the company
could give them with accuracy, the
number of iights. the kind-whether
are or iLcandescent-and the actual
cost.

THE STATE CAMPAIGN MEETING.
Candidates Delighted With Their Reception.
A Large Attendance.
Clarendon did herself proud in the
elegant manner of conducting the
State campaign meeting- in 'Mannin
last Wednesday. The speakers arrivea
Tuesday evening from Sumter. and they
were met at the depot by a committee
with carriages. The hotels not being
able to acconnnodate the entire party.
several private families kindly respond
ed to the call of the committee. and
aided in the entertainment of the dis
tinguished gentlemen. This arrange
ment distributed the candidates so that
all of them were comfortably quartered.
and we desire in behalf of the commit
tee to extend thanks and appreciation
to those who so kindly opened their
homes to the visitors.
Wednesday morning the crowd gath
ered from all parts of the county. and
by time the speaking commenced there
was over 600 people on the court house
square. The merchants. with com
mendable consideration closed their
stores during the speaking. and County
Chairman Davis. to accommodate the
crowd. had the benches removed from
the court room and held the meeting in
open air. Throughout the entire seven
hours of speaking nothing happened to
mar the occasion: the day was extreme
ly warm. and the dispensary being
elosed. the flowing artesian well in front
of the court house had a monopoly. and
did a rushing business.
Rev. P. B. Wells. pastor of the
methodist church, opened the proceed
ings with prayer, and the first speaker
introduced was Governor M. B. Mc
Sweeney. who although placed at the
disadvantage of having no opportunmty
to reply to the attacks to be made upon
him by his opponents, acquitted him
self w'ell. His speech had an earnest
ring, and not made with that trained
care. which characterized the speeches
of his L-wyer opponents. He began by
saing, that his first political speech
was delivered in Manning four years
ago when a candidate for Lieutenant
Governor, and he told his hearers that
it was impossible. in the time allowed
him to give a full account of his stew
ardship as he would like to do, so that
they could judge him on his merits, he
wold be followed by his opponents.
some of whom would attempt to becloud
Ihis administration by making flimsy
charges, and assertions which were not
borne out by the records. These flimsy
charges were only intended to mislead
and to catch votes. He had done his
duty, and in the performance of it. he
endeavored to be the governor of the
whole people: that under his adminis
tration impartiality and promptness
was the rule. there were no sensations,
no blood shed in the execution of law,
and the wheels of the government were
running smoothly with peace and good
f. 'oling pervading the whole State. He
eolained the "Black Report'' which
through his efforts, has put the ,State
in a position to recover from the United
States goverment several hundred
thousand dollars due it for war claims.
This report had been lost, and none of
his. predecessors had been able to locate
it it w'as his good fortune 'o have done
so by recommending a S>00 appropria
tion, and with this small amount of
money p)ut at his disposal, the State will
recover its just dues amounting to sev
eral hundred thousand dollars. He
Ipaid a glowing tribute to the possibili
ties wihich now exist for- young men to
fore to the front, no matter howv hum
ble their environments. all they needed
was character and energy. He referred
to his own lack of opportunities, and
without the aid of a long line of distin
guished ancestry. he has made a suc
ess of his priivate affairs. and in his
public life he has engrafted the same
business principles. He was not a
trained orator, but a plain business
man. guided in every thing pertaining
to the duties of his ottice. by sound bus
iness principle. At other places
his opponents charged that he
hd subscribed to the county news
~apers. and tpaid for samne out of his
contingent fund: this he explamned.
The governor' contingent fund was to
le used in his disecrection, and every
overnor from Hagood down subscribed
o the papers. and pimd for them in the
sameii way. and whyy In order to keep
in touch'wiith the public affairs of the
countie he had to iread the county
-apers. the grand jury reports, public
notices. compliants against otficials and
other matters which the governoi
.hould be informed upon: it was a silly
chare and should not have any effece
upon fair- minded people. In referring
to his pardoning power he evoked eonm

tinluiug the Governor said it was, easyv
enough to make promiises,. but plIaced inl
p~os.itio, and carrying themn out vWas
another matter. He denied with spirit
that lie had any sympathy with the
blind tigers as has been charged. and
if the people of charleston were going
to vote for him, it was because he was
born in that city. and the business men
there. have known him all of his life,
repect him for his integrity and busi
ness qualifications. He only asked fair
play. and that he be given a chance to
carry out his plans. It was his honest
endeavor to make a non-partisan gov
ernor. and h)e an instruimnnt in the
building up of the best interests of the
State. At the conclusion of the gov
ernor's speech there was a considerable
demonstation of approval, the audience
seened to be impressed with his earn
estness.
('ol. J. A. Hoyt. the nominee of the
Prohibition conference. and who took
the pledege required by the constitution
of the Democratic party, that he was
not. not' would he become. the candi
date of any faction. either public or
privately suggested. was next intro
(uced. He started out by saying that
he had been a business man longer than
Governor MeSweeney. and he was an
other who had never made a failure.
He reviewed the history of the dispen
sary law, and depicted some of the hor
rors resulting from its enforcement, he
said their was more rowdyism in bar
rooms. because there were more bar
rooms. He protested against the State
making him a partner in the whiskey
business. and that the State was com
mitting a sin by polluting her hands in
the liquor business. Prohibition he
claimed was a success in Maine, and if
elected governor he could make it a
success here, the reason prohibition has
failed where tried in this State is be
cause the municipalities would not en
force the law, and a Prohibition Gov
ernor can do nothing without a prohi
bition legislature. Colonel Hoyt de
nied his being in coalition with advo
cates of license and then said "in THE
M1ANNING TIMES of last week was an
editorial charging him with being in
coalition with high license. That
statement was untrue" (many cheers
for THE M1ANNING TIMES and a few
for Hoyt although the reporter who
was sent out by the Columbia State,
and which newspaper is advocating
license but is supporting Colonel Hoyt,
says "There were cheers for Hoyt, and
some for THE M1ANNING TIMES.")
Editor Appelt, who was standing in
the audience, in a r'espectful manner
asked to be permitted to itnterrupt the
speaker,. and obtaining his consent,
proceeded to ask if the editorial re
ferred to by him. was not taken from
"The South Carolina Baptist" word
foi' word. "Colonel Hoyt admitted that
it was,'' and stated, that THE TIMES
had used used the name of Rev. J. W.
Perry in connection with the editorial
in thie "Baptist.'' Editor Appelt re
plied, by asking Colonel Hoyt if it was
not a fact that Rev. J. W. Perry's name
appleared at the head of the editorial col
umns of "The South ~Carolina Baptist"
its one of the editors. To which the
Colonel replied yes, but said that hle
did not write the article. He then
went on and said that he was not in
fav'or of high license, and that the dis
pensary was better than license. Edi
tor Ap'pelt asked him if "The South
C'arolina Baptist, a paper published by
his own church denomination, did not
charge him with being a license man.
and that some of the stiffest high li
cense contests it evet' had, was with
Colonel Hoyt, and this is the same pa
per which has Rev. J. W. Perry as one
of its editors? He replied, Yes. Then
said editor Appelt, the statement wvhich
you so vehemently characterized as un
true, is true as fat' as THE MANNING
TIMES is concerned, but if untrue at
all, The South Carolina Baptist your
own denomina~tional church piaper
stated that which was untrue ("cheer's
for Appelt came from the crowd. Mr.
EL.Wilkins yelled out "let Hoyt talk,"
which was responded to quickly by Mr.
S. HI. Bradham, who said let Appelt
talk." and the crowd cheered again for
Appelt. and laughed at Mr. Wilkins.
During the coliloquy between Colonel
Hoyt and Editor Appelt. there was no
dis:' pect exhibited or intended to
wards either of the gentlemen. both
understanding the proprieties between
gentlemen, and each respected the
others rights when a speaker alluded
to a man in his audience. Colonel Hoyt
compllimented his audience, and ex
pressed his confidence in being able to
enforce a prohibitory law, and if he
was elected governor he would give his
best efforts in that direction. He also
said that if elected governor. he could
enforce the dispeusar'y lawv better than
it is now being enforced. He said all
candidates alpprec2iated newsp)aper' sup
por't, even the support of THE MAN
NING T1.MES. He was applaudedl when
he finished.
G. Walt Whitman started out b~y
trying to be funny, and not being able
to' tickle tihe crowd he had a spatting
match with some in the crowd who was
diso)OsEd to guy hlim. He finally jumped
on 'the State colleges. potunded the dis
pnsary which he said he had helped
to enact, told of his detective exper'
il'nce last Sunday on the Isle of Palms,
where he had "un down a bottle of beet'
and dr'ank it, He was ini favor of a
strict enforcement of tile dispensary
law, and if elected governor he would
make Charleston shut uip her blind
tigers (some one suggested that he
would shut them up if he had to go
down there, and drink up theiir stock,)
('ol. Frank B. Garyv. who has a mag
niticient pre'sence, and a handsome face
came next. His sp)eech here was thle
same that he has delivered at every
meeting. ahuiost word for word, evi'
dentlv priepared before leaving home.
but it was wvell recited. and if he coni
tinules to ilmpr'ove hle will by the time
his campaign is over, "have sp)okenl his
pieceL wvell."' Colonel Gary in a digni
ied manner' discussed his position on
the conunon 5(cho0ds, and that hec would
not aid in tile pulling down of a sitngle
brick from thle colleges. He was in
favor of submitting to anl eh-etion the
whiskey question, by letting the people
volte onl ''Dispensary or Prohibition'
by counmies. He claimed that the
governor had no claim to election on
the ground of custom. because pre
eedents were against him. He said
tat he went to the Tsle of Palms and
was taken for en mTilian ani in coi

Colonel Gary in reciting this portion of
his speech here. laid sptecial stre.s on
the Gary's meriting so many% ollic's.
We like Colonel Gary as a man and ad
mire his dignitied and manly utterances.
but when ie tries to convince people
that the Gar.' s have not had enough
public pap. that becomes another mat
ter. We believe Colonel Gary to be
one of the best of the name. and we
further believe. were he to wait until
some of his many kinsmen get out of
office. he would some day be elected
grovernor. He is a trained speaker. and
while there is nothing of special im
portance in his speech, and it seems he
has only one, yet his manner of deliv
erv is very attractive, and he won
friends here. If he was contesting for
a medal, Colonel Gary would without a
doubt be awarded the prize as the best
speech-maker. But fortunately for
McSweeney. the people will take. and
at upon the record already man, and
not one which is promised in a speech.
Colonel Gary did not advance a single
idea to showv where he could perform
the duties of governor better than the
present incumbent. but lie spoke his
sp)eech welle and was applauded.
The last of the gubernatorial candi
dates was Col. A. H. Patterson and he.
too. made pretty much the same speech
here lie has made at the other meet
ings. His speech consists largely in
jumping on Governor McSweeney for
subscribing to the co-unty newspapers
and paying for them out of his contin
ent fund. He made a good anti-pro
hibition argument. about the same as
in his circular letter which has been
sent broadcast throughout the State
and published in the county papers un
der the head of "Dispensary vs. Prohi
bition." After making an incontro
vertible argument against prohibition.
He sailed into Colonel Hoyt and charged
him with having advocated a coalition
with the liquor element to defeat the
dispensary. He read from the Green
ville Mountaineer. ColoL2l Hoyt's own
paper. an editorial written by Colonel
Hoyt himself, where he endorsed and
advocated the coalition between the
liquor element and Prohibitionists in
the Legislature to kill the dispensary.
He dared Colonel Hoyt to deny it or to
repudiate that editorial. He showed
from the statistics that the prohibition
law in Maine is a farce and that whis
key is freely and openly sold in that
Stte. Colonel Patterson said that he
and the Governor put up at the Char
leston hotel and there was a bar-room
in it. running in full blast: that the
Governor knew the thing was going on
and was afraid to shut it up.
Governor McSweeney from the crowd
said:
"Mr-. Patterson, if you will imake that
charge in the shape of an affidavit I
will place it in the hands of the Attor
ney General at once."
"Oh. yes," said Patterson, "the Gov
ernor kiows the Charleston hotel has a
bar-room, and yet he asks me to make
an affidavit. What is he Governor for?"
McSweeney replied: "Not to act as a
detective or- constable.''
When Patterson was flaying Hoyt
and McSweeney the crowd enjoyed the
fun and encouraged Patterson with
their cheers, and although he did not
keep faith with the other speakers.
speaking nearly double his time. the
crowd yelled for him to go on.
Patterson. aside fromi his little at
tacks, made a first-rate speech. He
certainly showed that pi'ohibit ion will
not wor'k, and especially did lie show
that the prohibition-dispensary advo
cated by Hovt was a delusion and a
snare, and tihat C7olonel Hoyt is pro
fessing to advocate pi'ohibition as a re
ligious princip~le. when the proof that
cannot be denied. is. that he favors any
thing to bireak up the dispensasy. even
if he has to make a compact with the
liquor men.
FOR LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR.
The candidates who spoke were
Winkler, Sloan, Blease, Tillman (a
nephew of the Senator) and Living

Only one candidate for Attorney CGen
eneral was present. .1. H. Moore.C a
magistrate of Charleston. He spioke
his mnoney's worth. but made v'ery little
impression. General Bellinger was de

not being here.
