The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1896-07-22

There seems to be general break
ing up ii both Of the great parties
at the North. Prominent Democrats
are leaving their party and going
over to Mckinney and prominent Re-
publicans are coming over to Bryan.
4. Republican judge has written to
Bryan offering his services to go on
the stump, and in making the offer
he proposes to resign his judgeship
in order that tie ernine may not be
dragged in the political mire. This
distinguished man is not related to
Judge Earle of this State
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1896-07-22
A JUDGE SHOULD NOT DABBLE
IN POLITICS


Judge Earle says, that the idea OF
a judge not going into politics IS an
aristocratic one, and he seems to think
when ne is not officially engaged, it
is proper for him to go before the
people TO ask for political job which
pays more money than the Office he
now holds. In esher words, according
to our CONSTRUCTION of Judge Earle's
feelings ;a'this matter, it IS a ques-
tior>ofdollars and not patriotism; if
*ae circuit iudgeship paid the same
as the Senatorship he would stay
where he is, because it is in the line
Of his profession; but as it pays less,
he wants the additional pay.
When man is elected to occupy
the bench it is understood that he is
removed from politics, and as long
as he wears the ermine he will not
become mixed up in political mani.
pulations or discussions, and it is
right that such is the understanding.
A Judge is made the same as other
people, he has his passions, his feel
ings of resentment, and the spirit to
hold and pay grudges like everybody
else, and when he goes into politics
he places himself in position to
make enemies and to make himself
the enemy of those opposing him, and
perhaps unconsciously be will be in
fuenced by such a feeling upon the
bench. This being true, he should
by all means before announcing his
his candidacy for political Office, ten
der his resignation as judge. Some
might say that Judge has the same
right to run for the Senate as the
governor and if q judge should resign
the governor should resign also; this
will not hold for the reason, we all
know that the Office of governor is 8
political one; to secure a guberna-
torial prize one must climb the poll
tical ladder; the governor is recog-
rized as the head of the party which
elects him, be is looked upon as the
man who is at the helm of his party
ship. Not so with judge, he is re-
moved entirely away from politics.
and he is sent over the State to act
as umpire in disputes between citi-
zens. # he owed man in this county
political grudge he would be unfit
to sit as umpire in a case where that
man was interested, and if there was
man in this county who worked for
his election his presence as a judge IN
the case where his friend is interested
would be Objectionable to the other
side-a Judge in politics lowers the
tone OF the judiciary and makes the
decisions of court presided over by

LET JUSTICE BE DONE.

AIR. EDITOR: I have been watch
ing the State campaign very closely.
and find it has been conducted on q
low plane, filed with personalities
and abuse. To all this we are op-
posed, but some of the candidates
are not to blame for this. Though
they have participated in it they have
been forced to defend themselves and
should not be held accountable. If
you Will only take the time to think,
you Will see that from the very first
meeting of the campaign at Manning
John I. Duncan and R. n. Richbourg
began to wage war of abuse upon
their opponents, John Gary Evans
and John Gary Watts, and the latter
two have only answered the accusa-
tions made against them. Can they
be blamed for this? Nay. But far
heavier would the blame lie upon
their shoulders had they let it gone
by unnoticed and unanswered.
We cannot understand Mr.. Dun
cans motive in entering the cam
paign and making statements that he
cannot substantiate, knowing too that
there was not a shadow Of chance for
his election. Some one must be de-
fraying Mr.. Ouncan's expenses to get
these charges made in order to weak
en- Governor Evans, but it will not
serve for that purpose,as the people are
keeping up too closely with affairs
and know all these statements made
to De entirely false.
As to the candidates for Adjutant
and Inspector General, the records Of
the two men are we'll known. R. n.
Richbourg was candidate on the
Haskell ticket. He aided and abetted
that ticket in every conceivable way;
going about the streets of Columbia
securing money for said ticket; did
all in his power to overthrow the
regular Democratic nominees and
thus Illustrate the voice of the peo-
pie. Alter doing all this he has
cheek enough to come around and
ask these same people to vote for him
instead OF one who has been in SYM
pathy with us and allied with the
party since It's organization. General
Watts has made one of the most
eficien: officers ofthe administration.
When lie assumed the duties of the
Office the militia OF the State
was il a worse condition than
at any time OF its history,
it being Just after the Darling
ton riot and so many companies hav-
ing disbanded. But General Watts
was equal to the task; he goes to
work and very soon has one hundred
companies IN nice working order and
to-day it is better equipped than at
any previous time. General Watts
has done more to promote the wei
fare of the militia than any one we
have had, and we are not people to
so soon forget what justice demands.
The militia is well organized all
over the State and Is, for the first
time in its history, all equipped in
uniform. We should be proud Of our
State militia and should favor Gen
eral Watts with the second term to
show him that we are proud of the
efficient work be has done. Justice
demands it as well as the custom of
giving an efficient public servant two
terms.
think it nothing but right, Mr..
Editor, that the public should know
what sort Of men they are voting for
to fill public Offices, therefore I write
this article hoping to see it in print.

not pay them. Fortunately for the
people Earle did not have enough
with hiln 70 carry his point and the
people are thus spared being bur-
dened With additional taxes We
again say, publish the bond decision
before tie primary, that the people
nav know who it is that wants to
burden them with more taxes.

a political Judge questionable-they
vii! not have the respect of the peo-
pie. The judiciary in this State has
always kept itself free from the con-
taminating influences of politics, and
except in the break made by Judge
Earle we can not recall a case in the
State where a circuit judge, while
holding that high and honorable com
mission ever went into politics, In
1890 Judge Fraser declined to even
express an opinion as to his feeling
for or against Tillman and some peo-
pie in the excited condition OF their
minds intimated the old judge was
fence-straddling, but he was not; his
position was, that he was Judge. to
decide between the people on matters
of law, that when placed on the bench
the people elevated him high up
above the wrangling of party and
factional politics and it would not be
proper to even express an opinion
but when the time came to vote he
would exercise the right OF clS:zen
and vote for his choice. Judge
Cothran resigned his commission to
become candidate for Congress and
Judge Haskell resigned his commits
sion on the supreme bench to take a
high railroad position.
It is nota pleasant spectacle to see
one of our circuit judges going over
the State throwing insinuations st his
opponent from slip of paper which
some supporter in the audience pre-
pared for him--we refer to the ques-
tions Judge Earle put to Governor
Evans in reference to the insurance
on the dispensaries. In that matter
circuit judge undertook by insinua-
tons to create the impression that
Governor Evans was in collusion with
others to rob the State. How does
Judge Earle know but what be will
have to sit in judgement in a case
against the parties in this insinuated
case of pilfering from the State If
Judge Earle is the patriotic citizen
he would have US believe, instead OF
propounding such questions at the
request of others ne would go before
the proper officer and have warrant
issued for the parties who are guilty
of wrong doing.
When Judge Earle started out in
Sumter he said he intended to pitch
his campaign on high plane, and
we had hoped that he would do so,
but at the first place that Governor
Evans made his appearance after his
return from Chicago, Earle jumped
on Duncan's plane, to such an ex-
tent that if he don't mind he will rob
poor Duncan of his thunder. But
then what difference would it make
if Earle took Dnncan's thunder?
Thousands of people believe that
Duncan is out as PAGER for Earle and
that whatever Duncan says is pre-
arranged. Evans had better keep
his eye on those two fellows, they
may be pretending to be mad with
each other and She first thing Evans
knows one OF them will call on him to
hold his stick and he will play the
old wharf-rat trick on him and then
both run.

THE ADVANTAGES OF A
HOME MARKET.
If our farmer friends will
think for a moment they can
soon see the advantage Of hay-
ing a market near them. In
the first place they can save
considerable in a season in
time alone, and as "tlme is
money" time saved is money
made. In the second place, a
market near home is conyen-
lent because farmers can easi-
ly receive information as to
prices, best time for selling,
&c.
Then, another advantage is
knowing the men with whom
you deal. Farmers know
better the men with whom
they have been dealing, and
if their business have been Of
long standing, there is a mu-
tual confidence existing which
makes it more pleasant for
home folks to deal with each
other. In fact, there are many
reasons why farmers should
assist IN building a nome mar
ket. Manning will try hard
to build up a first class tobac-
co market. Let the farmers
cooperate with the men who
expect to work for their in
terest.
