TOO THIN.

The Spartanburg Journal has
stirred up a small sized hornets
nest, by asserting that a certain
business concern in Columbia,
by reason Of heavy deposits, has
a controlling influence over the
dispensary board, and it goes
further and alleges that through
this concern newspapers are
subsidized to silence the expos
ure of alleged rottenness in the
dispensary. This is a grave
charge, and if it is sustained 1t
will be a powerful instrument to
destroy the institution. Just how
a business concern can control
the dlspensary board by receiv-
ing large deposits we fail to see,
and as to the statement that
newspapers are being subsidized
to silence the misconduct of the
dispensary, we also fail to see,
because, nearly every paper IN
the State, those favoring or op-
posed to the dispensary have de-
voted considerable space to crit
icizing the conduct of the dis
pensary. However, we agree
with the Columbia papers, that
The Journal should specify, give
it's evidence to the public, and If
it's charges are based upon rea,
sonable or, probable grounds,
the matter should receive the
earnest attention of the Legisla-
ture, which will soon be in ses-
sion. We believe, and so do
many of the friends of the
dispensary system, thatthe man
agement can be bettered, but
we do not believe the deposits
of the institution in any bank
has any influence towards cover
ing up anything which the public
should know. We also do not be-
lieve that there is a newspaper
in State bought up, or in anyway
subsidized to keep anything IN
connection with the dispensary
quiet. It is up to The Journal
to turn on the light.

WILL THE sHAcKLES BE BROKEN :

The newspapers are now en-
gagged in an interesting discus
sion on the future political posi-
ton of the South. The recent
election so thoroughly over.
whelmed the Democracy that it
is:stt;;aall-hunting IS: S til for the fellow
who hit Billy Patterson. The
South is the Democracy, no
other section can be counted
with it, and it is Democratic, not
because the principles of that
party has always been to- its in
terests, not because the people
believe in it's leaders, but simply
on account of the black flag that
politicians raise every time there
is an Indication Of the people tir-
ing of their political seryitude.
The idea Of a proud people be-
ing held in political slavery by
a few politicians is becoming
irksome, and cannot stand much
longer, means will be devised to-
give our people some rights to
freedom Of speech and action,
whether the means will come by
a putting aside of present lead
ers, or making our primaries
open for the discussions Of all
governmental questions, without
being :sunchurched" by an in
terested opposition, OF whether
the people will take the bits and
vote as they think without re-
gard to party allegiance, The
recent election has demonstrated
convincingly to our mind the
soundness of the Washington
Posts Judgment when it says:
The South does most OF the effective
fighting, makes all the victories posi-
bic, supplies the bulk of the force that
is exerted in national affairs: yet the
South tamely defers TO the leadership
of the North, sinks its own Individual
tv. and repudiaJes its own Judgment.
Nobody doubts that the section would
be far better off in all considerable re-
spects if it were to make definite de-
parture from the course it has pursued
with dogged perseverance ever since
the civil war. It is not good for any

Charleston has always done
the right thing at the right time,
and never did she act more
gracefully than when she post
poned her 'Greater Carnival"
festivities, so as not to conflict
with Sumter. There had been
no notice Of the postponement
published in the newspapers,
bat the few who went to Char
lesion soon learned that there
"was nothing didding," "and very
few to do it; the old town had the
appearance Of observing the
thanksgiving in prayer, The
Charleston Greater Carnival fell
fat, and in our opinion the fail
ure can be laid at the doors of a
lifeless committee, who did not
appreciate the value of printers
ink, and who seemed to think
that excursion railroad rates was
sufficient to induce the country
folks to town to be victimized by
by the great consolidated COM
pany. Charleston should take
lessons from Sumter when she
wants to do something in the
future. Sumter had no "Bottery, "
nor did she have an COL Of
Prunes, ''and not even a ''Dream-
land" but she did have lots of
business sense. and to attract the
people her committee bought
space in the county newspapers,
which Charleston did not do, and
the results are patent.

Foreston News.
Editor The Manning Times:

Since our last contribution to
your paper, another Thanksgiv-
ing day has come and gone
numbered now with the past.
Many, very many of your read
ers will not live to see as many
returns of the day as they have
seen, while numbers of US will
never enjoy another such occa-
sion.
These are grave thoughts and
should give rise to serious re-
Elections. In Foreston, the Oath
was one of the quietest of quiet
days, many of our citizens, male
and female, young and notyoung,
none old, remember, having
gone in other directions in pur-
suit of pleasure.
There are two homes in town
brighter and happier than ever
they have been before. Mr.. and
Mrs. J. C. Lands household
treasures were increased by the
advent of another son, on last
Wednesday morning 23rd, inst.
while a lovely little daughter
came to Mr.. and Mrs. J. II. Bos-
well on the morning of Friday,
the 25th May they always con
tribute to the happiness of their
parents.
The Masonic lodge at this
place held their usual monthly
meeting Tuesday night Of last
week, concluding with an oyster
supper. Owing to the inclemency
Of the weather a number were
prevented from attending.
Mr.. David johnson, who for a
length of time has been in the
employ of Mr.. J. G. Land, at
this place, has gone to Davis
Station to take a position with
the Davis Lumber Company.
Our best wishes attend him.
Manning seems to have been
quite attractive to several last
week. The following persons
from our town went there on
Monday: Mrs. O. V. Clarke, Miss
Sparkman Clarke. Master Smith
Land, Messrs. D. NJ. Wilson and
Ceth Mason. On Friday, Messrs.
J. Il. Hardy and Malloy Wilson.
Mr.. C. R. Burgess of Johnston,
visited relatives in town the first
of last week.
Mrs. W. T. P. Sprott went to
Charleston Tuesday.
We will mention some who at
tended the Sumter Carnival last
week, from Foreston: Mrs. NJ. J.
Land, Misses. Lula Cantey, Lou
ise and Florrie Land. Maybelle
Flagg, Mae Sprott, Messrs. G. S.
Land, J. L. Nettles, A. K. Dur
ham, D. c. Mason, and Master
Bennie Land.
Crowds from the-suburbs of
Foreston, we mean the surround
ing country, went, too numerous
to mention. We are of the opin-
ion that all had a good time.
Cadet D. c.. Mason, after TAX
ing in the pleasures of the fes-
tival, returned to his duties at
Welsh Neck High School, Harts-
vile, accompanied by Miss Lou,
ise Land, who has goneto attend
the same school. A very sweet
girl has left cur midst for awhile;
we console ourselves by the
thought that during her absence
she will acquire still greater at
fractions.

LIFT THE PRIMARY.

The position taken by Senator
Tillman that the primary 'sshould
be lifted above SUSPICION" is a
correct one, and we hope when
the next State Convention con-
venes the Senator and his friends
will not throw any obstructions
in the way Of our purging
primary system of its present
rottenness. r Just as long as con-
ventions are made up Of a repre-
sentation based upon fctlclous
membership and padded rolls,
and men are permitted to enroll
their names upon several rolls,
and permitted to vote at CLUBS,
outside of the townships in which
thev live, the corruption will
continue. and all the pretense OF
professional politicians to de-
plore the nefarious practices IN
our O primaries viii not help mat
tiers. The people who are op-
posed to the damning methods
of unscrupulous men, must take
a hand in the makeup of a con-
vention membership, because II
they supinely leave it to the pol
.iticians; they certainly are not
going to purify matters, thereby
throwing themselves out OF jobs.
The practical professional poll
tician can no more thrive IN a
pure political atmosphere than a
hsh can thrive upon dry land,
force him where he cannot re-
sort to dishonest methods and
his calling is paralyzed. Yes, the
primary system should be ''lifted
above suspicion" if this State is
to continue to be governed by
one party. We have no fear of
white supremacy being leopard
lied matters not what Senator
Tillman says, the ''nigger IN the
wood pile" scare has served It's
purpose: however, it is more i'm
portant for the people to stand
for square deal between white
men, than to be frightened into
a submission to the dishonest
acts of an executive committee.
The people of Greenville county
cave their executive committee
such a rebuke in the Walker
SSpeegle case, that if they had
any decency left the last Speegle-
ite on the committee would re-
sign, and never again be permit
ted to take a seat in the counsels
OF the party.
When Senator Tillman was
appealed to with regard to the
Independant movement in Green
vile, he had a right to express
his opposition to such a move
ment, but when he advised those
people to sustain the executive
committee, 'tright or wrong"
his advice was bad, and we are
glad the people Of Greenvllle re-
fused to accept such advice. how
can the primary system be Gifted
above suspicion, when the leader
Of the party advises the people
to submit to outrageous fraud:
and in the Greenville case such
must have been the cause, other
wise when Walker appealed to
the general election his conten-
ton would not have been sus-
tanned, and too, by such an over
whelming majority.
Dishonest methods in our prl-
mary, breeds dishonesty in the
government, balks justice IN our
courts, paralyses confidence IN
our government, and makes tax
alton burdensome, life and prop
erty unsafe, and the people dis
contented and unhappy.
