DID TRAXLER PRAY?
It was stated in the newspa
pers that Hon. W. D. Mayfielh
said, that twelve of the member:
of the State Democratic Commit
tee who voted for the resolution:
asking for Senator McLaurin'
resignation, had expressed re
gret for so voting. Hon. D. H
Magill of Greenwood, a membe:
of the committee who might bi
termed the lash to Tillman':
whip, addressed a circular lette:
to the twenty one who voted fo:
the resolution, and sixteen re
plied saying in effect that "the:
didn't say it." but in reading th<
replies from the noble sixteen i
will be noted that there are some
among them who write with al
apologetic ring, notably amon!
these, is the Hon. D. H. Traxler
the gentleman who had the hon
or to be the first Liquor Com
missioner: it was he who accom
pained Senator Tillman to th<
West where the first liquor pur
chases were made for the State
from which no rebates have beer
placed to the State's credit. Mr
Traxler in his reply to the Ma
gill circular, after saying he di
not regret his vote says, "But

But as wise heads thought dif

do otherwise than vote for them.
Mr. Traxler's sense of justice

posing as a representative of th
people, should place himself up
on record as a yielding, phian
tool, at the dictation of a boss i;
indeed a sad spectacle. If Mr
Traxler is a free and an unshach

senior Senator, why did he no
stand by his convictions?"

yet because the order came fror

Mr. Traxler yield to the wisdor

to examine the books of th<

or Senator Tillman demand tha

Carolina Legislature to examin<
into their dealings, be permitte<
to make a thorough examination
No, they both contented them
selves with the retort "prove it,

Traxler permits himself to re
main under suspicion of havin
been Tillman's pal in the rebat
business. Then is it any wonde:
that he yields his conscience an<
judgment to "wiser heads"?
We have always believed Till
man innocent of the charg<
"that he had lined his pocket:
with rebates," but we cannot un
derstand why it is that he doe:

that they allow the most search

THE GOVERN~OR DIDN'T ASK PERMISSIO19
Governor McSweeney h a:
again used his judgment in a wa:
to receive popular applause. Col
W. A. Neal, after having mad<
one of the best superintendents
the State Penitentiary ever had
and the records show that whei
he left the institution the finan
cial condition was in splendit
shape, but an investigation comn
mittee had matters in chargi
and as soon as they ascertainet
Neal's indebtedness the amnoun
was forthcoming, but the statu
tory thirty days had expired and
on that technical charge he wa:
tried by Judge Gary and Attor
ney-General Bellinger and con
victed-not for robbing the Statt
or stealing one cent, but simply
for not turning over the State':
funds within thirty days. Nove:
in the history of the State ha:
such desperate efforts to convic1
been made, and never has a ver
The efforts to convict were so
strenuous that the trial judge
ignored a request to charge made
by the defendant's counsel, be
cause the attorney had not com
plied with the rule to reduce to
writing his "requests to charge."
A man's liberty and character in
jeopardy and a legal advantage
taken on a mere technicality.
Colonel Neal was convicted
o and sentenced, but the people
throughout the State felt the
great injustice of a man convic
ted and sentenced to prison,
when everybody knows that he
did not commit any intentional
violation of the law. Petitions
c and letters were sent in to the
Governor to rescue Coldnel Neal
r from his persecutors, and not al
low them to further their politi
cal fortunes at the expense of a
man whom they would crush.
Governor McSweeney investi
gated the case thoroughly, and
after ascertaining to his own sat
isfaction that Colonel Neal is not
responsible to the State for a
dollar, he went to Neal's rescue
by signing the pardon prayed
for.
The Governor's action has not
met with the approval of Attor
A ney-General Bellinger, and that
official gives the press a long
harangue, criticizing his chief,
winding it up with verse, but the
chief executive of South Carolina
has treated his subordinate with
silence, one of the strongest re
bukes that can be administered
to a man who will soon become a
candidate for Congress before
his present term as Attorney
General expires.
Colonel Neal's friends prayed
for the pardon to save the ex
pense of a new trial, and the in
justice done the man was so
glaring that they did not want to
_ undergo the wait on the Supreme
Court. We join with the best
thought of the State in congrat
ulating Governor McSweeney,
for using his constitutional pre
rogative in this case without
consulting with the official who
was so eloquent and persistent to
convict upon a mere technical
omission.
OH ! HORRORS, IF TRUE.
r Any man who will, for politi
cal purposes, endeavor to create
false impressions about affic
tions in an opponent's family is
indeed cruel. If the published in
terviews with Senator Tillman
t at the North are correct, he is
not the man we have regarded
him. We have looked upon him
t as a bluff talker, but one who
e would scorn to take a mean ad
Ivantage; but if he referred in a
slighting manner to Senator Mc
tLaurin's family afflictions, it was
t simply brutish. When the last
ISenatorial campaign started it
Swas at Sumter, a distinguished
Sphysician of that city advised
-Senator McLaurin to return
Shome and go through a thorough
course of medicine. Dr. Hew
t son is the man, and he told him
1his condition would not with
stand a campaign. McLaurin,
-however, went on, and at York
ville Dr. Hewson's words were
fulfilled, McLaurin collapsed,
from which he has never fully
recovered, to the knowledge of
his colleague. McLaurin has
since that time been a frequent
patient in a Washingto:a infirm.
-ary, then his wife became affiic
t tedl and was also an infirmary
patient, and underwent a criti
cal operation, to the knowledge
of Senator Tillman; then recent
t ly Senator McLaurin's daughter
1was stricken with typhoid fever
in Greenville, to the knowledge
of an entire sympathizing com
-munity. When the child was
able to travel, on the advice of a
physician, the Senator took her
on a sea trip, and while North,
the newspapers say that Mr.
-' Mowry, Senator McLaurin's
step-father was stricken with
paralysis. These afflictions are
not the making of man, and when
politicians seek to use them for
the purpose of prejudicing the
chances of an opponent, it is as
ghoulish as robbing a grave of
jewels from the dead,
ye Politicians claim that " all is
fair in love," but we do not be
lieve that a politician, it matters
not how high he may be, can
t!aunt in the faces of a constitu
ency any such ghoulishnesss and
t retain the people's respect. If
Tillman did speak slightingly of
-McLaurin's family afflictions he
is unworthy the name of man.
We sincerely hope that Tillman
-h1as been misquoted.

When one party or faction feelsi

We have only to cite the long anda
most unbroken reign of the Republic;

this. And what applies to the gener;
government will apply with equ;
force and justice to State, county ar

official thinks he can obtain his offi<

It is certainly wr'ong, but there is
tendency in all political parties ai
factions to shield their .members whi

that an exposure would weaken the

But in our own State of South Car,
lina I do not see how we can afford1
let our white voters divide. We ha'
in our midst a serious menace and
danger in that large negro populatic
outnumbering the whites.
It is true that under our new col
stitution the negro is at present di
franchised. But the suffrage is on]
a temporary makeshift, and if ti
white vote is ever divided, that educ:
tional provision will not be worth tl
paper it is written on. When it's po'

opposed the call of a constitution;
convention, for I did not see how tl
Demuocr'ats of South Carolina could in

was all the safeguard we neede
against black ignor'ance.

;s for this restraint. But there is serious
danger of this apparent security to
I white domination bringing on the very
danger it sought to avoid. The im
pression has been created tlat under
our new constitution the negro is dis
franchised, and therefore the whites
can afford to divide. when in truth and
s I reality and such division will bequeath
is ! the balance of power in South Carolina
Ito the negro. and make him our politi
cal arbiter.
e. Ia some future letter I will show how
certain reform leaders in our c"nstitu
tional convention sought to oppress the
0poorer class of whites by fixing upon
c- them a three dollar poll tax and how a
le premium of $2,000 must be paid to the
family of every black brute lynched,
and which clause is an outrage upon
the taxpavers of different counties.
- Therefore, I contend that the white
>, people of South Carolina cannot afford
to divide, for any such division means
the bringing back of the negro in poli
tics. I admit that there are reforms
I needed in the government of our State,
I for taxes are today higher than they
-s. were under Republican and carpetbag
Ad rule, while the assessed value of farm
id ing lands have doubled if not quadrup
e. led in the face of the great strides
South Carolina has made in the last ten
or twenty years. With our new manu
le J facturing enterprises, and vast increase
o in wealth, taxes ought to be reduced
1 year by year, but instead of this they
are piliing up higher and higher.
There is something wrong in our State
S government, when such a condition of
d affairs exist, and every taxpayer would
a like to see the wrong righted. But
had we not better submit to this exac
tion than see the negro brought back
d again in politics and our labor system
it demoralized, which will inevitably be
the result.
I cannot understand how any South
Carolina Democrat who has the peace,
v honor and prosperity of the State at
s- heart can encourage any movement
er tending to divide the white rote. and
b give cause or excuse for the organiza
ad tion of an independent or Republican
party.
e. And again, the politician who be
nd lieves that the simple name o:' Tillman
* is allpowerful and will insure, the tri
umph of any movement or faction that
he supports is laboring under a wrong
belief. Tillman represents the old re
form movement and he has a great
.e many friends who will follow him to
any 'length, but we must remember
d that it has been eleven years since the
S reform movement was first started, and
a child, at the time, ten years of age,
is now a voter, and this new generation
t- does not feel the same political ani
.g mosity against the conservatives as
te their fathers did when factional feeling
ran so high. We must also remember
- that thousands of these olgl line refor
mers have moved to towns or cotton
Ls mills, and their minds have undergone
a revolutionizing political change.
Then, since 1890, a great many refor
mers have been defeated for office in
South Carolina and many of these back
a numbers feel that they have not been
treated right and bear a secret grudge
, against the rulers of their party sitl
a in power.
Even when factional feeling was
o bitterest there was only about ten or
no fifteen thousand votes difference be
*ee tween the conservatives and reform
og ers.
ed Now, while there are hundreds of
r men in every county who are too cow
v ardly to take an open stand against
in what is known as "Tillmanism" let the
re- lines be once drawn and you will find
ug in the ballot box many secret opposi
tion votes.
I cannot imagine a greater calamity
that could befall South Carolina than
for our white voters to divide. We are
Democrats by birth and in faith, and
it is only through the Democratic party
is that the South can hope for justice
of and to attain her full share of prosper
se ity. We don't want to see any white
e- Republican party built up in South
1e Carolina, for it would be sure to result
>e in bringing the negro back i politics,
s and create a bitter division among our
a people.
1e But at the same time there are in
a- our State thousands of as tried and as
true Democrats as ever drew the breath
t- of life who are tired of having the
e principles oi their party prostituted
L and seein~g it led to wreck and ruin by
1- Western populists and renegade Re
Spublicans. They demand the right to
e freely discuss their views before the
al intelligent voters of our State and be
al accorded the same honesty of purpose
d as they are willing to accord those of
c their party wvho differ with them.
e They do not intend to be ostracised and
e browbeaten. They have confidence in
s the patriotism and intelligence of tne
.voters of their State and are willing to
e accept any verdict they may render at
ic the ballot box. These Democrats will
id not be bulldozed and driven from their
of positions by threats or intimidation.
n- All they ask is an impartial hearing, a
ie free ballot and a fair count.
SThere aro certain politIcians in South
Carolina who. to retain themselves in
a power, would again divide the people
Ld into warring factions, paralyze pros
m perity and bring the negro back into
ef politics. .But I believe that the peo
ir ple are getting iired of abuse and per
es sonalities, and vrant to hear both sides
;h of every question impartially discussed.
s- Next year we will hava a heateci
ie campaign and it will be a criticai
y. period in the history of our State.
ie Eut I have an abiding faith in the dis
of cerning intelligence, justice and patri
ie otism of the voters of South Curolina,
is and I am willing to gracefully yield to
a wvhatever verdict they render at the
of ballot box.
, in my next letter I will discuss the
t annexation of the Philippines, and

Selse for the South and for the enrich

It is especially fitting and apropriate ce
in this day of prosprity, peace and fo

forgotten, if any there be, and those
who represent capital and those who
represent labor, mingle together, each .
recognizing that capital without labor 3
is stagnation, and that labor without
capital is starvation.
Let the 'day be observed with fitting
public exercises and ceremonies, where- j3
in the dignity of labor may be empha
sized, and on this day let all class dis
tinctions be obliterated, and may peace,
brotherly feeling and love-be displayed,~
by men of all classes and conditions, te:
each looking to the public interests an
and to the welfare of his State, and The
happiness and prosperity of all the m<
people. an

I desire to announce to the people of Clarendon and adjoining
:ounties that I am prepared this season to join in the hustling race
for the trade.
I have added largely to my stock of
Dry Goods, Fancy Goods, Notions, Shoes,
Clothing, Hats and Gent's Furnishings
and can vouchsafe to the trade that I will be able to please in both
guality and price.
I bought my stock with a view to extending my trade and I
earnestly ask the readers of this paper to come to my store in The
Manning Times block, two doors south of the postoffice, and let
me show what my goods are and the prices I offer them at.
Millinery!I Millinery
This department has been enlarged and I have secured the
services of as fine milliner as there was in New York city, who is
now in the great metropolis selecting the goods, and in a few days
they will be opened up for public inspection.
The day for fancy prices in Millinery has departed. Come to
see me and be convinced.
Painstaking care
Makes Hirschmann's goods wear.
