The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1901-12-04

When our bill was under consid-
Grafton in the Senate we receiv-
ed numbers of requests for copies
from Georgians and other States,
and it was largely on account OF
these requests that we had our
argument printed in pamphlet
form for distribution. Natural,
ly, we followed the discussion on
the Wright bill" in the Georgia
assembly, and twas indeed graft
flying to US to note how similar
the lines Of thought were with
those We presented to our Sen
ate. The differance was, the
Georgians were looking for a
solution Of the liquor problem,
and our lawmakers were look
ing to preserving 4 political
machine.

GEORGIA WILL TRY IT.

1t will be remembered that
three years ago We introduced a
bill in the Senate looking to the
doing away with the State board
of Control at Columbia, and the
placing of the dispensaries under
the direct control of the people
who vote for the system, and also
to do away with friction by Civ
ing the people an opportunity to
vote on the questions of Dispen-
sary, License, Prohibition, the
counties to have the system they
vote upon themselves, and that
system to stand for two years
! before the question could be sub
mitted again, and then only, after
one-third of the free hold voters
have petitioned for an election.
| Our bill was defeated; it might
have been brought forward
again, but we knew itwould have
been useless so long as the Pro
hibitionists remain under Office
seeking leadership. The Prohi-
bitionists did not give the local
option bill support because, if it
had passed, it would have knock
ed the prohibition stalking horse
from under certain aspirants for
guberatorial honors; they would
have been left without a she'll
game to play the preachers and
churches with. Our views have
not been changed yet; we still
|believe the solution Of the liquor
traffic can be solved on the lines
indicated in what became known
as the ':Appelt Bill" and we yet
hope to see the experiment tried.
If the opportunity to try the ex-
pertinent is given, our calculation
is that about three counties in
the State will vote Prohibition,
four will vote for License, and
the rest will vote DlSpenSafy.
| Charleston and Columbia will
surely vote for license, and we
would be relieved of the constant
complaint about the non-enforce-
ment of the law in those cities,
where it is absolutely impossible
to enforce the dispensary law.
While our bill was defeated in
the Senate of South Carolina,
our sister State, Georgia, has re-
Gently passed what is known as
the "Wright bill" and if it is not
vetod by the Governor it will be
the law in Georgia; we can then
watch it's operation and if it does
for that State what We hoped
for in ours. South Carolina will
ressurrect the "Appelt bill" and
| place it upon her statute books.

CONGRESS-.

The 47th, Congress began its
work last Monday, and we may
look for some wonderful dis
plays Of political strategy. The
Democratic minority will set al
kinds of traps to throw the Re
publican party into a hole, and
the Republican majority will
make every thing count to keep
them in the ascendency. Before
congress met, those who reach
ed Washington early met in eau.
Gus to outline their course, and
the Democrats in the very out
set differed on the financial
questions-one element wanted
to tie their party associates to
the Kansas City platform and
another element would not be so
hampered: the result was: that
the party caucus was anything
but harmonious, and they finally
agreed to disagree.
We do not believe in party
caucuses, because they are in
tended, and, have the effect Of
hampering a Representatives
honest efforts for his people.
He simply becomes an automa-
ton in the hands of skillful po-
liticians. The people elect men
to represent them and it should
bel that the Representative be
free to act as his conscience and
best Judgment dictates, but if he
goes into a caucus, he may be
forced to support a measure
which would be of great injury
to the section he represents,
simply because he voluntarily
pledged himself to submit being
tied by party managers who are
usually experts in their line. If
he stands back upon his man.
hood and refuses to go into a
caucus, and reserves the right to
use his own judgment, putting
himself in position to fight any
measure which in his opinion
should not become law, regard
less from which party it eminates
he is denounced, scofed at and
even maligned and slandered.
But if he is a man, he will not
give way under the rawlings of
party manipulators. He will
keep on his own course and make
the record his ambition justifes.
What will be done by this con-
gress cannot be foretold. Both
parties differ among each other;
there are Republicans that want
"a lower tariff, there are some
who are opposed to the grant
ing of subsidies, then there are
some who oppose any and every
thing coming from the President.
The Democrats are the same
way, they have among them op-
position to any thing suggested
by Bryan, then there are some
who would fight any sugges-
tions from an anti-Bfyan source.
IOf course the Republicans are
largely in the majority and what
ever is done, that party will be
responsible for it whether good
or bad, if good, it means an easy
victory in the next election, if
bad it will mean another hard
fight.
This congress will be largely
influenced by the "SMckinley
doctrine" and the measures
originating with the late lamen-
ted Mckinley will go through
without much of a division on
the Republican side, many will
vote for them through sentiment,
and the fear of their constituents
at home if they oppose anything
with a Mckinley label upon it.

Obituary..

On Saturday, September IT,
when nature seemed blessed with
all that cXalts and cmbellishcs
earthly life, when the noon day
sun was smiling with all its splen-
dor and beauty to the human eye,
when the northern horizon was
sparscd with dark ilccccs made
beautiful by Gods own hand,
when Notus, awakened from his
terrestrial abode, kissed the twigs
of the forest trees and laid the au-
tumn leaves to rest in their winter
beds, the spirit of Georgia Dudley,
bidding farewell to earthly portals,
took its flight, evcrmolc to rest in
peace at the right hand of God in
heaven.
Georgia was the third daughter
of Henry and Priscilla Dudley,
who, at the time of her birth, were
residents of st. Louis county, but
moved to Audrain where Georgia
was reared from childhood, with
many friends who have learned
with father and mother, to protect
and cherish the person of their
daughter.
Georgia was born Dee. 9, 1877.
She united with Mt. Zion Baptist
Church and was baptized in Sept.
1894, by the pastor, W. b. Craig
1t was in May that the attention
of many friends was called to the
fact that Georgia was stricken
with Il fatal malady and that her
days were but few among the liv-
ing. The heart of the community
was greatly saddcncd by the intel.
ligencc; but not even the sympa.
thy of the people could prevail
against or even postpone the ap'
proaching hour of fate. She sank
beneath the ravagcs of malig
nant disease, which had fixed it.

on the llth day of September, a

home If her parents. Her las
days were hallowcd by the sympa
thicS of locality into whose hear
she had so earnestly labOrcd to in
culcatc the spirit of love and de
vOtiOn. The news of her deatl
spread like the shadow of grca
cloud over the landscape. Almos
every person showed in some ap
propriate way his or her emblem
of grief. On Sept. 18th her bod,
was laid to rest in the cemetery Il
Bcrea, where friends and relative
may yet frequent her last resting
place and pay tribute to her mem
ory. Thus have passed away thrc
