prisonment. The Governors action
has been severely criticised by some
people in Orangeburg where the
murder was committed, but their
criticisms have not detracted from
the justice displayed by the course
the Governor pursued. They claim
that the evidence upon which in
tuencedthecommutation was false and
given by a man, although a minister,
was OF baG character and noted for
his lying qualities. Let that be true;
let the preachers character be as
black rs midnight; before Governor
Ellerbe. stood a man pleading for his
lie and protesting his innocence of
the crime for which he was convicted.
\ witness steps in and under a
solemn oath, swears that at time the
culprit is alleged to have committed
the murder he was, at that same time
with him in another State. Under
these conditions had the Governor
turned a deaf ear to the appeal he
would not have handled justice with
mercy. Communication of Murphy's
sentence to life imprisonment was
right and we are glad that Governor
Ellerbe had the courage to turn away
from the popular demand for Muir
phys blood to listen to an appeal for
mercy.

PROTECT WHEAT, WHY NOT
COTTON.

When McLaurin introduced his
amendment in the Committee OF
Ways and Means for duty of two
and one-half cents on all cotton I'M
ported into this country, every Re-
publican voted against it. Bailey,
MeLaurin, Swanson and Robertson
voted for it. Wheeler asked to be
excused from voting and McMillin
voted against it.
|, Why should the Republicans, who
represent The New England mills,
which use Egyptian cotton, vote
against it, if it would not raise the
price Of Allen long staple and other
cottons of that class?
How could any Southern Demo
crat who had voted to protect wheat,
fail to vote to protect cotton? >;
We confess that we do not under
stand much about the tariff, but it
does seem to US, that there is a JUS
tice in all that McLaarin says, which
should commend itself to the COM
mon sense of every farmer. Get the
speech and read it. See for yourself.
We had hoped to have extracts from
it on our outside this week, but could
not get it set up in time, we will do
our best to have it next week. BY
writing to Congressman McLaurin
he will take pleasure in sending you
the whole speech. $
The Columbia State had the fair
ness to publish large portion of our
Congressman's speech, and give a
sensible aud just view editorlally.
This is in marked contrast with the
Register, which published a long
winded dissertation of about four
columns without publishing but a
paragraph of the speech. x
The editorial of the Register on
Congressman McLaurin's speech read
like it was written, by some ante
diluvian spirit, who shook off the
cerements of the grave for this pur-
pose.
We cannot conceive OF anything
more detestable than ingratitude, and
one of the boldest exhibitions OF this
miserable trait was exhibited in the
Registers treatment Of McLaurln.
We are glad that heoster had the
manhood to resent it by severing his
connection with this mendicant sheet
whose attitude has been political
''what is il" or Reformer for revenue
only.
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1897-03-31

Allen long staple below the cost of
production.
As Mr.. McLaurin says, the wheat
and corn growers are protected a
gainst importations from Canada, and
the cotton planter is cleft to be
plundered by the whole world.
When a man raises his voice in be-
half of the cotton planter, he is de-
nounced by the very men who vote
to protect wheat and corr.
Why is it any more of a violation
of principle to vote to protect wheat
and corn than cotton? We are unable
to say unless it is because the owners
Of grain elevators are we'll organized
and wealthy class, who have their
special Representatives in Congress,
while the cotton planters are dlsor-
ge2ized and have no one except now
then an independent thinker, who
has the courage to express his sentl-
ments.
OF course, lIcLaurin is criticised.
He has become accustomed to that.
In six years of public service, he has
been perfectly fearless in his utter
ances-more than once the politicians
have attempted to down him, because
of this boldness and independence,
but each time they have found those
horney-handed, honest-hearted cotton
planters, with whose wrongs Nc
Laurin stirred this country the other
day, solidly with the man, who is ever
ready to fight their battles.
We want every man in this State
who plants cotton or is interested in
cotton planting to read McLaurlns
speech. The newspapers only publish
extracts. We want the cotton planters
of this State to see how the Repre-
sentatives OF New England attacked
the man who proposed to lessen their
profits by making them pay more for
the raw cotton to the man who tolls
in the broiling sun to make it. One
of the great troubles with our system
of government is, that Representa-
tives of the people are either owned
by the trusts or syndicates, or are so
bound down by party dogma, that
they are afraid to tell 'the truth, and
the whole truth" so "help them God,
The people at home will appreciate
McLaurin's speech and they are the
only ones, he cares a snap Of his
finger about. The average voter does
not care for fine spun theories and
sentiments, they are tired humbug-
gerry and bosh: they want 4 man OF
boldness OF thought and speech, WHO
will hold up their side of the single
tree, and fight for the South aud
Southern interests, at every oppor-
tunity, in every place and at every
point.

McLAURIN Is 4 STATESMAN.

The speech Of Hon. John L. Nc
Laurin, recently delivered in Con-
gress is attracting wide spread atten-
ton, as ind eed has every speech
which he has made since he has been
a member of that distinguished body.
For thirty-fve years, biennially
there has been a shrashing over of
old tariff straw; for ten years the AL
lance has been endesvoring to teach
the people that the real issue is
money, and never has there been 50
iorcible reminder of this fact as Nc
Laurin's speech. He laid bare the
humbuggery that is practiced by
both parties upon the people about
the tariff. When we reflect that there
is only a difference of seven per cent
on the average between the Wilson
and Mckinley Bill, and that the
Dingley Bill is about midway be-
tween the two, it is plain that after
all, the practical question is one OF
discrimination, and that as McLaurin
saws. the South has to bear the bur-
den.
He repudiates the doctrine of pro-
lection for the sake of protection, but
boldly claims that if there is to be
protection that the South must have
its share.
The figures he gives are appalling
as showing the concentration of
wealth into the hands of the money
and manufacturing class. He points
out the injustice OF forcing farmers
to produce cotton in competition with
the cheap labor OF Egypt and yet deny
them the right to purchase goods
where they can get them cheapest.
This comes home to every farmer,
55.O0O,OOO pounds or 100000 bales
of Egyptian cotton imported into
this country and increasing 10000
900 pounds eAery year. Depressing
the price of our cotton to the level
of Egyptian labor. It is mistake to
say that it only comes into competi-
ton with Sea Island cotton. The cot
ton that Egyptian cotton competes
with is such upland as the Allen long
staple. It is only few years since
our farmers could get four cents per
pound more for the Allen long stale
than for the ordinary short staple. 1t
looked as though we had found a
way to diversity and increase our
profits; at once came these Egyptian
importations that have reduced the

REFORM IS NEEDED.

Clarendon is now without a State
Senator What is to be done about
it? Do the people fell ike being put
to the expense OF an election to fill
out an unexpired term which will
only be for one session? AS far as
we are concerned, we are willing to
let the seat remain vacant until the
next regular election, because the
material composing the last General
Assembly VIII be the same for the
next meeting, aaa when they have
served ont the term the people will
breathe sigh Of relief. History will
record The last session of the South
Carolina Legislature as the most
bunsling and tritHiDg that ever as
sembled in State where the people
are supposed to be educated. The
little work they did is so botched up
that the officers who are to execute
the law find it almost impossible to
know what to do. The amended
pension law, instead Of helping the
WORTHY people entitled TO pension,
has retarded the collection of their
money so that It IS hard to say when
they will get their little mite. The
Coanty Government law has been so
messed that instead Of simplifying
the machipery, they have made it
more cumbersome, and worse-they
have made It more expensive. As
the law stands now, none but the
most eminent lawyers are competant
to sit as members Of the board. And
as with the laws We have mentioned,
it is so with al OF their work. It was
not incompetency which caused this
miserable conaition;it it was the ''Peace
and Harmony" hypocrisy of unscru-
pulous politicians, who took advant-
age OF their positions TO further
their schemes for political advance
ment, but we mistake not the temper
of the people, there viii be a general
reputation Of such, just as soon as
the people can set . whack at them.
At the last election the people went
through one of the nastiests cam
paigus ever held IN the State; the
very atmosphere was filed with all
kinds Of insinuatioas Of wrong-doing.
The candidates promised the people
that they would look into these
charges and correct any evils that
might be existing. y leader of the
Reform forces.was the victim OF SLAM
derous instuuations and he was
traded and snapped away that
scheming politicians might succeed.
The people weya fooled, and that
badly, but it was not until too late
that they realized themselves the
victims OF political saarpers; they at
last have discovered the fellows who
were crying, stop thief, were the
thieves themselves ana that they
were making the CRY against others
to throw the pablics suspicion away
from them.
Tie result has been that the peo-
pie have paid dearly for their expert
ence; they will nave to organize a
gainst the politicians and fight for
legislation that Viii give them relief
fropl oppressive taxation; they will
hare to make g fight for legislation
that will give the country safe roads
and bridges, and they will have to
fight for system OF schools that are
not farce.
