The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1900-06-06

from this town was, Sheriff D. }.
Bradham, who is also trustee
of the colored college Of which
Prot. T. E. Miller is president,
and at meeting of the trustees
of that college held in the ofhce
of Sheriff Bradham in Manning
Professor Miller got otfa joke at
our expense, and in our presence
which we enjoyed.
We said that "some kind friend
has sent US an emetic in the
shape Of a copy of The Seashore
Review, we really do not know
who sent it, but we are satisfied
the address was not in the hand
writing Of the gentleman whom
the Review hints at, for we doubt
very much if he would take the
time from his business wrap up
and mail such a paper. We have
received several copies of June
md, from whom we do not know
or care, but from a perusal OF It's
columns we see no reason to
change our mind about its mis-
sion being a stink-hunter, and IN
order to cast suspicion, it de-
lights in complaint, and all sorts
of reckless insinuations. When
we said it ''pokes its bill into
everybody's business, and all
sorts of places" we took it for
granted, that newspaper readers
would understand that we were
not trying to convey the idea
that the Review ''peered into a
mans private life or career" we
of course alluded to it's critl-
cisms of the city government
which the first copy OF the
Review sent Us was nagglng
at. and making insinuatlons OF
corruption among city officials.
In fact, all of our references
were to the paper, and not to
the editor personally, and with
the Reviews editor we can quote
.sevil unto him that thinketh
evil, but to the pure all things
are pure y
The editor of the "Review''
thinks we should be impeached
because, we suppose, of what
we said about his paper. Now
this must be one of the
signs of ability the editor boasts
of showing; localities diff
fer. Here, were we to display
our ability thusly, our friends
would hunt up an officer to have
Us sent to the lunatic asylum.
No, we will not be impeached,
nor will the man who told the
Reviews editor that we "strut
around Manning like an old
peacock" have an opportunity
to cast a vote in an impeachment
trial against US or anybody else,
We have heard that peacock
strut" story before, but it is pas
sing strange, that strut" was
never discovered until political
reverses set in, as long as things
prospered politically his admir-
alton for US blinded him so, that
"any kind of an old strut" we
might have had, was ''a thing of
beauty and JOY forever to him.
Well, the scribe from the
famous sand bank. says he has
been hearing "some bad stories
from Manning, but before we
make use of them we want to see
with our own eyes, so as to be
better able to verify
Assuming the "bad stories" are
about US, we heartily invite the
editor to come and make search
ing investigation of the "bad
stories he has heard from Man
ming" He may come incognito,
or make himself known, it is all
| the same to US: should he come
and investigate the ''bad stories
about US, we will give him such
! information about ourself and
others, as the law and records
will show. We think an inves-
tigation will prove that some one
with a grievance has been rech-
less in "blowing off his mouth, y
and is at work endeavoring to
make history repeat itself, by
resorting to rule or ruin tactics,
upon the principle ''if I must
sink I will sink others if sword
