tinuc it longer if good results. Each

purposes The county organizations

The school question will be one of
the most important for the con-
sideration of the coming constitu-
tional convention. If there is any
thing that needs changing or improv-
ing it is our free school system.
South Carolina makes liberal appro-
priations for her colleges and it is
right that she should; because the
institutions of high learning are a
necessity, but these appropriations
should not be made at the expense
of the sold field school" where the
children of the poor man look for an
education.
When the convention meets, the
very first act should be, to put cur
home schools on solid basis so they
can be run at least nine months in
the year. If necessary to accom-
phsh this result, increase the poll and
property tax. Instead of having
two mill property taA; make it four
mills and raise the poll tax to three
do ar; then give the taxpayer the
right 70 direct the tax collector to
which school he wants his taxes ap-
piled. With such a scheme South
Carolina will have a system of free
schools that will educae all of ther
children.

WASHINGTON, January livery quiz
etly many of the statesmen out of Job
in consequence of the late election are
making earnest efforts to get a.place at
the administration free-lunch after the
4th of March. 1t is understood that
Mr.. Bynum of Indiana, is endeavoring
to secure an appointment on the board
of appraisers. The salary Of $1,000
year is tempting to him, and it is said
that he will probably succeed in get
ting it. His hunt for the place, how
ever, is being conducted with great Sc
crecy, as it is probable that knowledge
Of his intentions would excite some an
tagonism in Indiana. 1t will be re-
membered that after his defeat for con-
gross Mr.. Bynum caused sensation by
denouncing offce-seekers, and stating
that he had been offered bribe Of
$4,000 to assist one of the candidates to
appointment to federal Office in In
diana.
1t is said that Mr.. Springer, Of Hi.
nois, is seeking seat on the bench of
the court of claims. His appointment
to this position might or might not be
regarded as reward for his fruitless
efforts to geta financial bill through
the house. There is at present no va
cancy on the court of claims bench, but
it is understood that one of the oldest
judges is willing to retire and give Mr..
Cleveland an opportunity to make an

DENIES THE CHARGE.
Sensation Sprung In the Now Orleans Dri-

Sensation Sprung In the Now Orleans Bril-
bery Trial.
New ORLEANS, January 12.-The sup
Elemental bill presented to Judge Fer
guson of Section A., crimi1al district
court Wednesday evening. and filed
with the clerk Of the court on yester-
day by the attorneys in the Dudoussat
case councilman convicted of receiving
q bribe, on motion for q new trial,
received a severe set back yesterday.
The bill went on to relate how, among
other discoveries Of recent date, new
testimony had been discovered in this
case and a woman had been found who
would testify that she was standing on
the steps Of Charles Shcrman's grocery
on the morning that Dudoussat played
his star engagement With Sherman and
witnessed with ber own eyes the latter
putting the money in the councilman's
pockets.
The woman appeared and created q
sensation by denying the whole story
as contained in the supplemental bill,
and declaring that she knew absolutely
nothing about the matter further than
heresay, and expressed herself in very
strong terms against those, who were
responsible for dragging her into court.
It is rumored Hopkins, through whose
instrumentality the bill was fled, will
be indicted for Subornation.

Wednesday, January 16, 1895.

The great topic among the news
paper fraternity is the coming con-
stitutional convention, and with few
exceptions all agree that the conven-
ton should be non-factional body.
We regard this good sign, and that
the day is not far off when there will
be q general pulling together for the
good of the State. This is as it should
be and if faithfully carried out the
upheaval we have been having the
past four years will finally prove to
be for the best.
It is suggested in last Mondays
News and Courier by its able Colum-
bia correspondent that each county
select one representative from each
faction, to meet in Columbia ssto 60
over the ground and come to some
agreement as to the election OF dele
gates" We agree with the plan
offered by this correspondent, and be-
ieve that a conferance so selected
would devise plan by which both
factions could agree and thus save
the Democratic party from being
torn asrnder by selfish politicians.
To represent Clarendon this cor
respondent mentions the names Of
Major Abe Levi, of the Conservative
faction, and Captain D. J. Bradham, Of
the Reisrm faction. If Mr.. kohn had
always lived in Clarendon and was
well acquainted with every man in it
he could not have selected two bet
ter men for the purpose. Major Levi
has always been regarded a leading
spirit in the Conservative faction at
the same time he has always refused
to give his support to Independant-
ism, and we believe that any pledge
be would make would be faithfully
adhered to by his faction. Captain
Bradham has the confidence of the
Reform faction and is regarded its
leader in this county, and any propo-
sition agreed to by him would be
zealously supported by the Reform
ers. If this suggestion is adopted
throughout the State, we will surely
have a constitutional convention
made up of patriots regardless of
factional affiliations, and one that will
bring the white people OF the State
together in peace and harmony.
The Times has always favored a
non-factional convention and stands
ever ready to do all in its power to
aid in bringing about such result;
we believe the future welfare Of the
State depends upon our people get
ting together, and as long as we
stand devided into hostile camps,
just so long will we keep away those
desiring to come among US from
abroad.
Already We see that the low price
OF cotton is driving the large cotton
mills from the East, and we can get
them here if We viii unite and show
to them our advantages, but we can
not do anything as long as we stand
apart and say hard things of each
-esshas-snd place an sorts Of obstacles
in the way of our State government.
Let US come together with full de-
termination to build up our common
interests, regardless of the bowling
of political wolves
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1895-01-16

To start of the ball for suggestions
for suitable representatives to the
constitutional convention the Times
suggests Hon. Joseph F. Rhame and
Major Abe Levi, of the Conservative
faction, and Hon.. James E. Tipdal
and Captain Daniel j. Bradham, Of
the Reform faction. If stronger
ticket can be suggested we would be
glad to have it made. Each one of
the above named, are men too well
known to the people OF Clarendon to
need any words of praize from US.
They have always stood by the Dem
ocracy and can be counted on to
work for the best interests OF the
masses. What is needed is a strong
delegation and these we name will
represent Clarendon with credit.

This lecture will be devoted to an eX-

Speaking of this lecture, Mr.. Waite
said: u do not intend to attack the

Mr. Cleveland can no more help being
fat than l can help being thin. Be-
sides. there are many other fat men in
Washington. All want to do is to
bring out the tyrannical acts Of the
president, AZ l look upon them"

$500,000 to continue the improve
ments in the harbor and the work

why Charleston cannot take on q
