HARD TO KEEP 'EM QUIET.

The Greenville 'News" is up TO its neck
in fighting. Sheriff Bradham, following the
example Of Governor Ellerbe addresses o
letter to the editor of the News" attempting
to iav him. Needless to say, the editor
rather takes the hide off the sheriff. The
News is a hard fighter and it takes more
than q Governor and sheriff to keep 1t
quiet.-Charleston Post.
The 'tNews" is a hard fighter we
all admit; its fighting is not so much
in what it says, as its constancy IL
saving it. The "News' and the
sPost" remind US very much of the
old woman who said scissors" In
our Judgment, Sheriff Bradham's let
ter was clear showing up of the
"News" editors inconsistency and
the Governor put the 'sNews" tc
scratching all around the subject un-
der discussion. We agree with oul
contemporary that it takes more than
Governor and a Sheriff to keep
such a noisy make up as the News
quiet. Brother Post, has it ever oc.
Cured to you that there is a very
striking similarity in the editorials
of the "Post" and SNews?" Long as
sociation no doubt makes it so, or il
may be that great minds(?)run in the
same channel. It is really hard tc
distinguish whether "Ball is Warine
the We or We is Waring the Ball.
But it matters not, both, our friend
at the Mountains and our friend al
the Sea is very hard to keep quiet

The State Board of Control, at its
meeting last Thursday decided tc
postpone the election of a clerk unit
its next session. There has been, anc
still is, a considerable interest mani,
tested in the selection of this import
ant officer, because it is known thai
only a bookkeeper Of wide experience
can fill the place The present in
cumbent, Col. Seth ". Scruggs, has
held the position with ability,
and there is not the slight
est complaint of his work. but
from what we can gather, he is not
hand in glove with some of the poll
teal hangers-ou and they are fighting
him to the death. In our judgment
the board would be committing a
grave mistake if they allowed politi-
cal piques to influence their action in
selecting man who must of all men
know bis business. The clerk of the
board should not only be an expert
enced bookkeeper, but he should be
a man with candor enough to inform
the board whenever he discovers
mistakes in any of the Dispensary
departments. We know of no man
in the State better qualified for the
position than the present incumbent,
and we sincerely hope the board will
re-elect him.

LAURESs, S. c., Apr. 5, 1897.

| LAuRENS, D. w., apr ., lo"i.
Major LOUIS AppELr, Manning. S. c.:
Nv Dear Slr-Please do the goodness to
send me copy of your last weeks issue
containing the Bradham letter III reply to
General McLaurin's critics.
There are lot of hungry politicians ln
South Carolina who are anxious to retire
John NcLaurin, and avail themselves of
every fimsy opportunity to make scurrlous
attacks upon him and his bold independ-
ence of thought and speech. McLanrin is
man OF convictions, and withal has the
courage to express himself unreservedly on
all great questions touching the economic
conditions Of the country.
South Carolina has already suffered suffi-
cicntly by following after Jack .with-a-lan-
tern" fraZzled-out traditional dogmas and
We are glad McLaurin has blazed the way
for Il new departure from the rotten rutS
so long and SO persistently pursued by old
"mossback" free traders There are two
national political hobby horses which poll
ticiuns never fail to ride, and that too, at
the expense of an innocent and unSus-
pecting people. The one is finance and the
other is the tariff.
The former involving the success and
happiness of our country more than all
other economic questions combined, whist
the latter is q snare IN the coils OF which
the unsuspecting are entrapped, and upon
which the politician teasts and fills his
rapaclous nav.
The SD Congress gave the people an OBJ
| iect lesson on tariff that will long be re-
membered, and require vast deal Of elo-
quent explanation TO convince our people
longer that there is any relief for them in
the cry and lamentations for free trade. 1t
is not the asriculturist that is so much con-
cerned about free trade as the hungry poll
tician, who goes believing to and fro the
earth, ranting and canting free trade here
sizes, hoping thereby to protect their own
itching scalps from the incurslons of other
aspiring "pie hunters"
An increase of S262, 900, 900 interest bear
ing public debt resulted from m effort to
approximate free trade and to-day we See
President Mckinley seated on the throne
so lately occupied by the apostle of shor:
rations and hard money, and the legislative
department Of the government wholly IN
;he hands of the Republican party.
The commercial and industrial stagna-
ton staring the taxpayer in the face
throughout the nation speaks volumes.
Agriculture is languishing, and will con-
tlnue to languisb, Just so long as we sit on
our hunkers like thirsty toads and c.oak
about impossible things.
In our humble opinion, there are but two
things essential to the success and pros
perity of our South land, and that is, di.
versited agriculture, and the free and un-
limited coinage or gold ana silver. am

Excuse length Of this letter.
Yours very truly,
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1897-04-14

1t is gratifying to note the spirit of
fairness which is exhibited by the
Columbia Estate When some of
the newspapers were charging Gov
ernor Ellerbe with impure motives in
the Metropolitan police matter the
Estate" defended the Governor in a
kind and able editorial. We have
differed to great extent with the
':State," but with all of our differences
we can truly say that we could never
charge it with unfairpess. Gonzales
is fighter, but manly one. He
does not whine and beg for patronage
like the "had-to-buy-it" Register, D
but he strikes a conscientious blow
and We cannot help but admire it in
him. The "State" has had hard
struggle to exist, but it has passed
that stage, and is now on the road to
attend the funeral of its contempo-
rary In discussing our representa-
tive's position on the tariff, the reg
lister" undertook to hide McLaurin's s
position an1 to place him in a false
light before the people; this too, from
Reform (?) newspaper that has been
playing the charity racket on Nc
Laurin; on the other hand the
Estate" gave fair and manly treat
ment and in discussing his speech
expressed itself freely and fully. We
like fairness, and so do the people,
and when we see it exhibited by one
whom we regarded an adversary, we
must tip our hat to him in acknowl.
edgment. Gonzales fights hard, but
fair, and his present course is not due
to any change of conviction, for we
doubt exceedingly if he could change
a conviction if he wanted to, so
firm is he in his convictions.
When Ellerbe started out on a
policy, that was intended to be fair
and non-partisan, and without ques-
tioning whether Ellerbe had made
mistakes or not, the estate" had the
honesty to give him credit for his
good intentions, and its defense of
the Governor was in marked contrast
with that OF the Register
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1897-04-14
We see it stated that Congressman

We see it stated that Congressman
J. ". Stokes did not deliver the
speech antagonizing McLaurin which
was published recently in the "Regis-
ter" but that he obtained permission
to have it printed without delivery.
If this is true, we are very much dis
appointed in Mr. Stokes, for we have
always entertained the opinion shat
Mr. Stokes was a fair man and that
he would scorn to take such sneak
ing advantage. By not delivering
his speech, McLaurin was cut of
from reply and Stokes slips in a
chance to strike McLaurin when he
was not looking II Stokes speech
was full of merit as an egg is full of
meat, the way he sneaked it in, de
stroys its practical use as far as the
people of this State are concerned.
The people love fair play and de-
spise anything which smacks of dark
lantern practices.
If the politicians OF South Carollna
who are taking issue with Mr.. Nc.
Laurin will come out in the open and
go before the people upon the issue
raised, they will discover that the
people are in sympathy with the idea
to cut loose from sentiment which
was only practicable a century ago.
This is an age of business progress
aud in order to keep from being run
over in the mad rusb, the people have
learned to grasp things practical and
let things sentimental rest in the
graves of our forefathers. II protec-
ton of our cotton will aid in the TAX
ing off of the burdens SO heavily
pressing down upon US, then that is
what is needed and wanted, whether
it is in accord with the sentiments o'
would-be statesmen or not. The
people are heartily sick and tired o.
sentimental bosh, and if the protec,
ton of our cotton is a good thing:
push it along.
