THE SENATORIAL BATTLE ON.
The Senatorial campaign has
opened, and it is our judgment
that neither of the candidates
have the nomination "cinched."
It will be a strenuous struggle
from now untifthe vote is count
ed. It is a healthy sign when the
voters have so much good ma
terial to select from, all :f the
gentlemen now before the people
are qualified for the high office
of United States Senator. The
candidates are Hon. E. D. Smith
of Sumter, ex-Governor John
Gary Evans of Spartanburg,
Hon. George Johnstone, of New
berry, Hon, R. Goodwyn Rhett
of Charleston, Hon. 0. B. Martin
of Pickens, Col. W. W. Lumpkin
of Columbia, and Mr. John
P. Grace of Charleston. In the
recent past men were selected
for these positions through fac
tional influence, but happily for
the State, no such condition ex
ists now; ability and merit will
guide the voters in their selec
tion. It is as it should be.
The candidates who are seek
ing the suffrages of the people
are well known. Mr. Smith has
rendered the people a great ser
vice with his untiring efforts in
behalf of the farmers, in this
State, and throughout the cotton
growing States. He has been a
faithful servant of the masses,
and by his work the material in
terests of the farmers have been
g:aatly enhanced.
Mr. Evans has been in public
life for many years. He was
Governor for one term, and ran
for the United States Senate
twice. He is an able debater.
Mr. Johnstone has the reputation
of being one of the best criminal
lawyers in the State, and has
served in Congress. He too, is
an able debater and a man of
high intellectual attainments.
He has been a candidate for the
Senate before. Mr. Rhett is now
Mayor of Charleston, a lawyer
and a banker. He is regarded
an authority on banking and
commercial law. He has never
before sought the suffrages of
the people of the State. He is
a magnificient man, broad mind
ed and, calculated if elected, to
be an influential force. Just how
his entrance into this campaign
will effect things is, as yet
problematic. Hon. D. C. Hey
ward was forced to withdraw
from the race on account of ill
health, and it was only after he
withdrew Mr. Rhett consented to
go before the people. The en
forced retirement of Hon. D. C.
Heyward is deplored by those
who were going to support him,
and those who were not, and it
is the sincere hope he .vill regain
Shis health. Hon. 0. B. Martin1
is nofa stranger to politics, he;
-has served several terms as
State Superintendent of Educa
tion and is a good campaigner,
his speeches always catch the
crowd, and he wins their ap
olause. Col. Lumpkmn is a jolly
speaker, and is the man who
started to run against Tillman,
but changed his mind. He is run
ning on a kind of a catch-em
gwine-and-a-comin' platform,far
mer, drummer, railroad, labor,
and PROHIBITION. If all of these
elements support him, lhe is a
sure winner. Mr. Grace is a
Charleston lawyer, was at one
time secretary to Congressman
Elliot. His entrance came some
what as a surprise, and lie be
ing practically unknown in the
State. it is thought by some he
is in this fight in a spirit of retal
iation against Rhett, both being
from the same city, and both
having figured in city politics.
Rhett was twice elected mayor.
and Grace was defeated 'for
sheriff. Mr. Grace may develop
on the hustings and surprise the
natives.
South Carolina will be well
represented with any of the can
didates, and it is to wait untilI
the primary to find out who will
carry off the prize.
COLLETON KICKS ON LEGARE.
The Press and Standard of
Walterboro has recently been
placed upon our exchange list.
It is a good paper, and it con
tains 53 candidates cards. Thus
demonstrating that Colleton
county is not indifferent about
public affairs, that its citizens
are ever ready to serve the pub
lic-no office in Colleton goes by
default. The Press and Stand
ard complains of Hon. Geo. S.
Legare doing very little for Col
leton. and mentions about read
ing of Congressman Patterson's
district getting appropriations
and rural routes, --but Colleton
gets none of these things." Con
gressman Patterson represents a
seaport district which contains
government property that must
be maintained,hence the govern
ment makes appropriations, and
would be compelled to do so,
even if Mr. Patterson was not
there. Congressman Legare too.
represents a sea coast district,
:,roperties, and the governmen
s compelled to make large ap
propriations for these. The dii
ference between Legare's distric
.d Patterson's. is that Legar
thas the work of looking afte
the installing of a new propert;
while Patterson has only to lool
after a property that has bLe:
installed many years, Legare'
involving hundreds of thousand
of dollars. while Patterson's onl:
a few hundred. Then. too. Lc
gare does a great deal of wor.
for our inland waterways. S
far as the rural routes are con
cerned Legare has done a vas
amount of work along this lime
but conditions have much to d
with securing rural routes whic
a Congressmen cannot help: fo
instance: The postal departmen
has certain requirements for th
establishing of rural routes,andi
rests with the people to compl,
with these requirements. If th
puIlic roads and popalation i
sufficient a rural route can b
established wherever it is want
ed. All that the Congressma
can do in this matter is to file th
necessary petition after it ha
been forwarded to him by hi
constituents. The Congressme
have nothing whatever to d
with establishing these routes
It often happens the Congress
man will accompany a route It
spector over a route, but that i
only for political effect, he ha
no voice in it.
We have watched Congress
man Legare's course in Congres
and have no hesitency in sayin
he has been zealously raithful t
his trust. He has done muc
for the entire State. His ass<
ciations in Washington ha
brought about a kindlier feelin
for South Carolina than ever es
isted before, and while Legar
does not make a whole lot c
speeches upon the floor, he i
regarded as one of the workin
members, always at his post c
duty. Legare and Lever hay
done much substantial work fc
South Carolina, and we hope hi
health will permit him to remai
in Congress for many years.
The Press and Standard say
'"It is likely possible that Doi
chester, Clarendon, Berkele
and Colleton can elect a Cot
gressman, and we may be force
to do so in self defense." Why
Is there some other man aspirin
to Congress from the first di:
trict? If so, it is his privilege t
come out, but if he does he mu
show himself the better qual
fled. It will not do to array th
country counties against th
city, the people are not going i
vote for a man just because h
lives in the country. It is ne<
essary to have men of ability an
experience in Congress, and tb
longer a man is kept in Congres
the better qualified he become:
and the more influence he exert:
We do not think, in standing b
Legare, that we are, as the Pres
and Standard puts it, "bein
used as a cat's paw to pull poli
ical chesnuts out of the fire fc
Charleston politicians at electio
times." The fact is; we believ
our Congressman is doing whi
he can for the entire district. El
cannot build a navy yard, or a
immigrant station in Manning
or Walterboro, because thes
things need a sea port. He cai
not, nor can any one else. hav
the government to build fin
post office buildings in Walte:
boro or Manning because th
postal business done in thes
places is not suflicient. He car
not establish rural routes in con
munities where the people d
not ask for them, and then, ur
less the population and roa
conditions will permit W
think our esteemed contempt
rary has not considered the cor
ditions existing in the first dih
trict.
IF REPUBLICAN, WHY NOT CAPERS?
The Republicans are nowi
Chicago making their standar
bearers, and as was expected
William H. Taft will carry o
the nomination. He was fough
bitterly by the Forakers, Car
nons. and Hughes, but he wa
too heavy a weight for th
"allies." The Brownsville i
dent estranged a great portio
of the negro vote from Taft, an
they were loud in their oppos
tion to his nomination. Thi
gave the Democratic press hop
of the doubtful Slates where th
negro vote is a factor, that th
Democratic party w% be th
gainer, and that Bryan, wh
will be the party's nominee, wi]
defeat Taft in November.
The Republican party like
well organized army, is discir
lined, all this talk about th
negro in the States of Ohic
Illinois, Iowa, New York an
Indiana going over to the Demc
cratic party is bosh; their prc
test against Taft's nominatio
ends -with the convention, the
will fall in line and march to th
tune of the G. 0. P. as the
have always done.
The name of Hon. John G
Capers of South Carolina ha
been mentioned for second plac
on the Republican ticket, an
some of the papers in the Stat
are disposed to oppose it. Whn
have they to do with it anyway
If Mr. Capers can get the nomr
nation for vice-president from
his party South Carolina shoul
not object to it. What showin
would a South Carolinian have t
get a place on the national tickc
from the Democratic party
Captain Capers would make
good running mate for Taft. H
is a good campaigner, we.
versed in national pol.itics. and
man of exceedingly fine ability
His elevation fo the xice-presi
dency would be of value to Sout.
Carolina. and we say if the lRe
publicans are to contn i noowe
we should like to see Ho.
G. Capers prciding over ui
t debted to Mr. Capers for much.
his relations with the party in
- power gave him an opportunity
t to save his people considerable
' embarassment, and when we
r look over the State and see the
work of Mr. Capers, we think t
the people should feel grateful
i that they had a friend at court.
A SQUARE DEAL WANTED.
The people of South Carolina
believe in a square deal, and
wLen a candidate for an office is t
not being treated fairly, it will
winn sympathy for him. We t
t notice when the candidacy of t
Hon. Cole L. Blease is mention
ed by certain newspapers they
have a way of disparaging him:
for instance, The State on Mon
t day says "For governor Martin I
F. Ansel will have some opposi- 1
t tin from C. L. Blease of New
berry." The friends of Mr.
Biease resent such treatment, 1
"will have some opposition from
C. L. Blease." is in our opinion
a very sneering way to speak of
a candidate for the office of gov
ernor, and unless it is discon
tinued, Governor Ansel will
have good cause to ask to be de
1 ivered from his friends.
We do not make this protest
as a Blease partisan, not at all,
but in the interest of fair play.
It is our judgment the people of
s South Carolina are going to give
s Governor Ansel a second term,
but we also believe that Colonel
Blease will poll a very large and 1
s complimentary vote, but if the
masses get it into their heads
0 that he is the victim of unfair
treatment, Governor Ansel's
present majority will dwindle
into a minority.
The very purpose of the pri
mary system is to give every
e Democrat a fair show before the
people. If The State has any
s argument to bring to bear why
the people should vote against
Blease, make it in a straight for
e ward and fearless manner, it
r ought not through its local news
s columns slur at the candidate, by
n saying that-his opponent "will
have some opposition," to create
S the impression that the opposi
tion is not taken seriously.
Congressman J. E. Ellerbe
" and one of his opponents Hon.
W. Murchison met on the streets
in Marion last Monday, and in
dulged in a fisticuff. Things
0 must be warm in the 6th district,
t glad we are civilized over here.
e Visitors and citizens in Colum
e bia have been subjected to much
0 annoyance from being "held up"
e and robbed, but the police have
at last nabbed three of the cul
d prits. These turn out to be
e negroes, but it is our belief most
s of the depi-edations were comn
mitted by white men. The pun
Sishment should be very severe.
s The Governor of Kentucky
Shas put a stop to a further dis
Sgrace of the American jury sys
r tem by pardoning Caleb Powers,
a ex-Secretary of State, charged
e with being a party to the assas
t sination of Senator William
e Goebel. The next thing we ex
a pect to hear~is the friends <>f the
~Goebelites going into the assas
e sination business, and Powers
will be their victim.
e Mayor Rhett of Charieston
-has announced himself a candi
e dates for the Senate has given to
e the press an outline of his views
on some of the pending gues
.tions. He writes like a student
0of public affairs, intelligently on
the currency laws, tariff, rail
roads. drainage, immigration
e and other matters. There is
none of the demagogue in what
he says. Lack of space prevents
our publishing his letter.
It was reported in Manning
yesterday that at the initial1
a meeting today in Sumter, an
- effort will be made to chill the
candidacy of Smith in his native
i courity. We sincerely hope
t there is no foundation for this
.report. If any such a thing is
a done. the people will know it is
a a worked up trick of politicians
- with an ulterior motive. Sum ter
a has men who are nursing polit
j ical ambitions, and these should
.discourage anything that is cal.
sculated to create false impres
sions. Sumter is called the game
3 cock county, but if there is per
mitted any howling down tactics
of one of Sumter's sons, it will
be a boomerang. It is a bad1
1 bird that befowls its own nest.
r Elsewhere we print a commu
- nication from Mr. J. E. Kelly,
the same Mr. Kelly whose name 1
, has appeared to criticisms in the
i newspapers before. Usually
-our critics say somethirng which
-need an answer but Mr. KelIly's I
letter is the limit, and answers
- itself. We sincerely hope that
a this same Mr. Kelly who would t
p have such a keen perception ofi
the public service, and the duties
.of officers, will offer to the peo
s pe of Clarendon his services as
e a member of the board -of com
I missioners, and if lie is nomii
e nated, we are sure the delega-'
t tion would gladly have him ap
?pointed. It is our opinion, men
-of the Kelly stamp will not offer
ain the primary for the position.
I f they do, we kvill be agreeibly
disappointed. It is not necessary 1
for us to explain again the legis
t 'lation enacted for Clarendon at 1
the last session of the legisla-r
t ture; the p~eople understand, and

Ibeen opposed to high assess

Manning lheeds a Sewerage System.
iitr The Marning Times:
There is a very important matter
hat at an early day must necessarily
ngage the attention of the people of
his comiunity, hence this letter that
hey might be thinking about it.
This problem will confront the Court
louse Commission, the Board of Trus
ees of this school district. and the
soard of Alderman of the town. I
'efer to some system of sewerage for the
iew court house, the new school build
ng, and the growing demand for some
ystem on the part of the citizens of
he town. The new court house and
iew school building are to be fitted
rith modern plumbing,an adequate sys
em of sewerage will be essentihl. I
ake it that all who have useddry wells
r cess pools are agreed, that for these
ublic buildings they are simply out of
he gaestion. The architects tell us,
ith our abundant water supply, the
ifting of this water in order to get the
ecessary supply and pressure in these
)ublic buildings would be a simple
natter.
I am hoping great things from the
oard of assessors and the equalization
>oard of this town. and think what I
Lm about to propose practicable, with
ut the town going greatly into debt,
nd even without the necessity of its
ssuing any bonds.
Let the Board of Alderman have the
own surveyed just as if it was going
o put in a complete sewerage system
or the town. As the town lies about
,qually on both sides of Brooks or
Main street. and as the court house and
chool building demands are pressing.
>ut down at the proper level for con
iections in the future from other
treets a line of large pipe, beginning
it .loseph Sprout's residence and run
iing down Main stree, to the Thames
>lace, and then following the road to
,he first stream of Black river. Say to
>ut in this line of piping would cost
he town $7,000, as some estimate it,
with the increased valuatiou of prop
rty which is bound to follow, the
ie mill levy now upon the taxpayers,
would be a mere bagatelle compared
vith the benefits to follow. The court
aouse and school would be served and
hose citizens of the town, desiring to
l1 so could at their own expense, and
.nder the supervision of the town
tuthorities connect up with this main
ine of sewer. If this idea be not ap
proved. the Court House Commission.
School Trustees, town authorities and
those citizens desiring to connect up
with some such line of piping, should
i.t an early day get together and de
ise some equitable plan of jointly
meeting this expense, for in my jude
ent some system of sewerage will be
lemanded by the pending improve
ments.
I have no doubt the Court' House
commission and the School Board of
Irustees, with both of which I am con
ected, would be glad to have the
views of any one interested.
Very truly yours,

One of the Committee Replies.
ditor The Manning Times:
In an editorial of the 10th you criti
~ise the acts of the executive commit
ee, and express a wish that the county
hairmnan will call a meeting, and have
he matter reconsidered.
Now Mr. Editor, we the committee
ifter due deliberation, saw fit to act as
e did, and we are not school boys,
either are we subject to a boss, to tell
s when and how we shall act.
You at some length defend the pres
nt practice of appointing commis
iioners. Claiming that it is only an
dvisory board, and that the only way
o get good men, is for the delegation
o appoint them.
Up to the present the commlissioners
2ave been appointed by the delegation
md you claim the best business men
aave been appointed. Lets see the re
~ults. When our first Supervisor
Felder) went into office the county was
n debt, he by economy redreced it.
When the second (Owens) went in, it
vas reduced more. Until the county
vas practically out of debt. ' Then the
ffice of commissioners was made, and
>ur best business men appointed by the
llegation. What has been the result'a
['he county has been run in debt,' more
md more,~until at the last session of
he legislature provisions were made
or' a $10.000 bond issue. And also a
il passed advising the commissioners
o use 86.000 of the school fund to pay
ack indebtedness, and for other pnr
oses of the county. Now 1 believe we
he office of commissioners is not nee
ssary. It is an expense to the county,
vith no benefits. But as one of the
ajoity of the executive committee I
elieve the'people can select men that
vil look after the supervisor and the
ounty's interest, just as well or better
han it has been. You claim that we
vil not be able to get good mlen to
'un. Veryv well if we fail to o'et good
nen the~ delegation can abo~ish the
>ieie. We have too many anyway.
Now as to assessments. You claim
hey are too high, and without rhyme
i'r eason. in propor'tion to length of
erm and increase of salary. tbey are
0 higher than they were in ;he last
'ampaign. If there is any inequality
n proportion to salary it shotfd h'mye
>een adjusted before now. I am a uew
nan on the committee. But I have
ever heard any kick before. Possibly
'ou were afraid to kick before.
Now you claim the assessment on
epresentati ves is nothing more nor
ess than a hold up. We claim that a
eprecntative should pay as much as
he senate. The salary is the same
ad is just as responsible. There
hould be no kick from our present
enator or Representatives. They
iave raised their salary from $4.00 to
i.00 per day. Now you claim that
-our protest is in the interest of the
blic service. Now it is a fact that
he assessments are the same, and less
n poportion to term and salary than
hey ere in the last campaign. Why
idn't you kick then, you were at can
lidate then. Possib'ly you are like one
>f the Representatives (Woods) you
vant a 25e assessment on candidates,
.d each member of a club to be assess
id 10e to pay the expenses of the cam
aign. Then everybody could run,
rovided they payedi THE' TIMES $3.00
o publish their announcment.
Now Mr. Editor the assessments on
:andidates in the last campaign failed
o pay' the expecnses by over $100. You
rer'e payed for printing though, all
ut 85e'. I suppose you want the learn
'd getemen that want office to get in
mithout any expense, and let the peo
lie foot the bills, managers serve for
Lothing etc.

The owners of Evergreen Cemetery
have decided to incorporate the ceme-,

after its keep. A charter has been ap
plied for and it is hoped that good will
come from the new organization.
The ladies have organized an auxil

work with the regular one. The func

beautifying the grounds by mean:- of
flowers, shrubbery and other means.
Contractor J. J. Wilkie has com
menced work on the new school build

be pushed from now on.
Mr. H. A. C. Walker, who has been
principal of our school for a number of
years, will not come back next session.
iHe will be very generally missed and
regrets are expressed that he has so
decided. We understand that he goesi
to the school at Denmark at a larger|
salary. Misses Collins. Scarborough
and DuBose of the old corps will be I
back.
It was announced at the recent clos
ing exercises that a new grade will be
added next session and with the eighth
and ninth grades of the present organ
ization will form the high school de
partment.
Professor Hand when here empha-'
sized the fact that in order to fully com
ply with the high school law so as to
become a beneficiary of that fund,there
will have to be added courses in domes
tic science, manual training, agricul
ture and chemistry. He also hinted
pretty strongly that the present coursse
of study would have to be advanced
considerably in order to get a school
where its graduates can enter full
freshman classes at the colleges.
Our friend John S. Watt was in town
expatiating on his watermelon patch
some days ago. He said you could see
them glistening all over the field. He
generally gets them in first. We had
talked him around until we had the

he had planted peas in the batch: Now,
who would want to search every pea
patch he saw? That was a mean trick,
and I hear George Ridgill has gone and
done the same thing.

WOMEN'S WOES.
Manning Women Are Finding Relief
at Last.
It does seem that women have more
than a fair share of the aches and pains
that afflict humanity; they must "keep
up," must attend to duties in spite of
constantly aching backs, oi- headaches,
dizzy spells, beafring-down pains; they
must stoop over, when to stoop means
torture. They must walk and bend and
work with racking pains and many
aches from kidney ills. Kidneys cause
more suffering than any other organ of
the body. Keep the kidneys well and
health is easily maintained. Read of a
remedy for kidneys only that helps and
cures the kidneys and is endorsed by
people you know.
Mrs. M. E. Pipkin, living on Church
street. Manning, S C., says: "'I suffered
from 'dull, hagging backaches and had
distressing pains through my kidney
regions. I was very restless at night
and in the morning felt tired and lan
guid, having no strength or energy. I
was also greatly annoyed by the kidney
secretions, they being very frequent inI
action and when allowed to stand con
tained a dark sediment. I read about
Doan's Kidney Pills, procured them
and began their use in accord-mnce with
the directions. The secretions from the
kidneys became clear.' the backaches
and pains have vanished and I can rest
well at night. I have no hesitancy in
recommending Doan's Kidney Pills to
any one suffering from backache or a
kidney weakness."

jays, daughter of Mrs. and Mrs. L. E.
Bryant.
My sweet little rosebud has left me
To bloom in a holier sphere:
lie that gave it in wisdom hereft me.
Then why should I cherish a tear
My baby in the grave is just sleekinfg.
She has joined her dear brother above.
Bright beings now have them in keeping
In a mansion of beauty and love.
There treasures I have laid up in heaven.
For a season removed from my sight.
To my bosom again they'll be given
With fulness of joy and delight.
They have gone where life-s ills caifflot linO
them.
They are removed from cach danger and
care.
Oh how could the love that would bind them
To years of affliction and care.
Look up and you will tind consolation
Which God by His spirit wili give.
And through faith the rich manifestation
That those gems. my sweet-babies. yet live.
