WEDNESDAY, &AY Y, 1891.

Systematic work properly directed
viii accomplish almost anything.
Manning should double her popula-
stion and business during the next FIVE
years. Are you croaker? or will
you put your shoulder to the wheel
and push forward?
The State attempts to explain why
Governor Tllman was left to walk
shome after the Centennial exercises,
and we publish in full the explana-
hon; but no effort is made to explain
why Governor 1illman occupied a
carriage so far back in the line Of
procession.
We of the South love the old Dem
ocratic party too much to allow our
selves to be led off by any untried
party. The Democratic party is not
perfect, but it is far superior to what
any new party would be, and we will
remain in the party, continue to love
sthe party, and endeayor to correct the
evils of the party within the party.
The United States supreme court
has decided that State has right to
make and enforce its own police reg
ulations, and that the Kansas prohi-
bition law, which forbids not only the
nanufacture and sale Of whiskey in
shat State, but also its importation
from other States, is constitutional.
This is a great victory for the prohi-
biionists.
Governor Tillman's course in de-
1nanding the resignation of DR.. Griffin
as superintendent of the lunatic asy-
slum, will meet with the approval OF
al IN the State who are not prede-
termined not to approve anything that
fhe governor does. The correspon-
dence between Governor TiIman and
DR. Griffin is published in full on
s:our first page, and will prove inter.
esting reading. Dr. Thompson is
now in charge temporarily of the
asylum, until a superintendent is ap-
pointed.
The Charleston, Sumter, and North
ern railroad is now completed to Oar
lington, and work is being so rapidly
pushed between Darlington and Ben
nettsville, that it is said the road viii
DE open for business to Bennettsyille
{ by July 4th. At Bennettsville it will
connect with the Yadkin Valley rail
road, which viii thus open up new
and shorter lire from New York to
charleston. This road runs through
a fertile and populous part Of the
State, and will 60 much towards de-
yeloping the resources of our State.
Prof W. j. Alexander, of the South
Carolina College, is not orthodox in
his religious views, and as conse-
quence he was not reelected a mem
Sbar of the faculty for the ensuing
year. The trustees did right and
win receive the hearty commentator
of the Christian people Of the State
! We live in Christian country, and
We want no skepties or in1dels to
teach our children. A teacher should
moi only be a moral man, but should
mot hold such religious views as are
calculated to prejudice the young
against the ,eligioo and theology of
their parents. 1t is barely possible
that an investigation of the in6del
yiews and teachings of some other
professors is in order.
The third party movement has
gained considerable strength, but not
IN the South. The West is where it
IS strongest, Kansas probably being
IN the lead. The South has as yet
taken little interest in this movement,
aud South Carolina will be one of the
very last States in the Union to throw
8oH her allegiance to the old Demo
cratic party, It is difficult yet to de-
ternine which party it viii hurt the
most. In the South it will probably
strengthen the Democratic party, for
ST the negro assimilates with this
new party it will leave the Democrats
.undispated masters of the situation.
We are: however, sorry to see some
,osor daily exchanges harshly heap
ing abuse and vitnperation on the
movement. This method of criticism
rs always censurable. and does no
harm to the thing criticised.
The editors of the South have un-
.aertaken to raise fund to build
monument to that grand old man,
whose memory is dear to every South.
sern heart, Jefferson Davis, the presi-
dent of the Confederate States.
Thursday, June Is, is the day select
ed to raise the money. Clarendon
must do her share, and our contribu-
tion must be in keeping with the
grandness Of the object. Let every
community contribute something if
only 8 dollar or two; let the little
girls get up couece1on ils5; let the
ladies have an entertainment; let ey-
cry Confederate veteran contribute
something: let US all work togeth-
.er. Cannot Clarendon raise a
hundred dollars for this fund? We
shall take pleasure in receiving
and forwarding any money for
this purpose, and will acknowledge
The same through the columns of the
TMs. It is not necessary that the
contributions be large: one dollar,
fifty f cents, a quarter, a dime, five
cents, a copper,-something to show
a slight appreciation Of our love for
the leader Of our 'sLost Cause" The
finae is short IN which TO work. lust
