Some kind friend has sent Us

printed sheet which seems to be
doing the scavanger act IN the
day time, and the Lord only
knows-what, at night. 1t roosts
on Sullivan's Island, and flies
over into Charleston where it
seems to be poking its bill into
everybody'S business and all
sorts of places: filth gathering
seems to be its mission, which
incIines US to the belief that it
has the plumage of, and profes-
ses to be, a mother-cary bird.
1t is a fortunate thing for Char
'oston that newspaper readers

take seriously anything they

irresponsibility away. The song
of a bird that befouls its own

Editor The Manning Times
1t is with the greatest pleasure that

community and throughout the county.
say many friends, because l believe
there are few boys of my age who have
more good and true friends than 1have,
and it is source of JOY to me TO have
the privilege OF communicating in any
way with them. Hence this short letter
is solely for the purpose OF letting them
hear from me.
The localities which | wish TO most
directly refer TO are those of Manning,
Davis Station. Jordan and the Duffy
Old Stand. The first three of these
may be taken into one as my native
neighborhood: as the place where my
happy boyhood days. guarded over by
loving parents. were spent: the place |
love best of all places. The last. which
is down on Santee. IS the place where |
passed the time of one school term, try
ing to promote my own educational
standing and interesting myself in en-
deavoring TO prepare the children OF
that section. who had been placed un-
der nv supervision, TO make their
future life success. Therefore feel
that I owe TO the above named places

The first of my study was directed on
the bookkeeping course. Our school
was run night and day. that is. from
:, o'clock to 9 O'Clock at night. hence
we had little or no time for frollicking.
However, we were at liberty to stay
out of school whenever we felt so dis
posed. We had steamboat excursions
to picnicS. street cars running to the
parks and many other things OF the
kind. and once in :; while, would take
advantage of these privileges. These

We do not understand how
the ProhibitionistS can have a
Prohibition State Executive
Committee, a chairman in each
county, hold conventions for
county and State, and yet claim
to be acting within the Demo
cratic party. When the Demo
cratic conferences are called all
Democrats are invited to parti-
cipate, but when the Prohibi-
tionists are assembled, only those
who declare themselves IN favor
of prohibition are invited. The
State Democratic Executive Com
mittee is the head Of the party,
and all other Democratic com
mittees are sub-ordinated to it.
The State committee not wishing
to offend were very lenient two
years ago with the Prohibition
lists, and by taking no action
permitted them to have their
separate organizations. We do
not believe in such a policy, if
we are to keep up the Demo
cratic organization the State
committee must take a positive
position: it it not right to per
nit Independent organizations
within the Democratic organiza-
ton and it should not be allowed.
If our prohibition friends have a
majority they can elect whom
they please within the party and
if they haven't they must sub
nit OF get out. This thing OF
claiming to be working in the
party, and organizing against the
party should be checked.

In the last legislature a bill to
permit graduates Of the South
Carolina Medical College OF
Charleston to practice without
being examined by the State
Medical board, was defeated in
the Senate by one vote, after it
had passed the House by an over
whelming majority. 4 great
many people thought the meas
ure a proper one and advocated
the passage Of the bill, on the
ground that student having a
diploma from the Charleston
Medical College was guarantee
of his qualification to practice
medicine. At the last meeting
Of the State board seventeen
graduates failed to pass the re-
quired examination, and the
board discoved five applicants
cheating, and they were turned
down also. Had it not been for
that majority Of one in the Sen
ate these seventeen incompe-
tants and FIVE cheats would now
be prescribing medicine to the
sick.

Yes, August Flower still has the lar
gest sale OF any medicine in the civil
lied world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought of using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors We're scarce and they
seldom heard Of Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostration or Heart failure. etc. They
used August Flower TO clean out the
system and stop fermentation of undl-

The contention over the Ken

in favor Of the Democrats by the
Supreme Court OF the United

rendering his decision said the
questions involved were not

United States Courts, as they
were purely of State concern and
must be settled according to the
constitution and laws Of the
State. This virtually knocks the
Republicans Off their props and
they will make no further resist

The constitution of the Dem

they are not the candidates Of a

conscientious ProhibitioniStS re-

by the Prohibition conference
tonight in Columbia: Do they
believe the candidates suggest
ed by that conference can hon
orably take the pledge that they
are not the candidates Of a fac
ton either publicly or privately
suggested? The constitutional
pledge has not been changed,
and two years ago, Brunson 5
ticket was pulled down because
it had been suggested" in vio-
lation of the constitution of the
Democratic party. If Colonel
Hoyt is suggested tonight we do
not believe he Will sign the
pledge required. because we re-

man, and We do not see how any
man can sign such pledge who
has been suggested or nomina-
ted by 4 conference on conven-
