Mr.. and Mrs. Henry McCollum Of
Bethlehem passed through here last
week enroute for Bishopville.
There is an old bachelor at this place

Well, see the county convention was
a harmonious one: that is a good sign, 1t
shows the court house clique IS getting
uneasy. The vote for county chairman
must have been revelation. but do
YOU know, Mr.. Editor, there were sew
eral delegations in that convention
packed to elect the clique candidates:
/ know of two delegations which added
men to their number just before the
converting of the convention, and these
men were not elected by their clubs,
nor were the delegations entitled to
more than the club elected, but upon a
count of noses the clique realized that
Notwithstanding two elements had com
bined, they had not the strength even
with their coat-tail swingers and heel
ers to accomplish their purpose-defeat
one man whom they cannot control, and
who prefers defeat to a sacrifice OF IN
dependence. Therefore they must re.
sort to urickery and defeat the Will OF
the people by making votes in the con-
vention which the clubs did not send.
Had only the delegates who were sent
by the clubs voted, the clique would
have been routed, and the political ma.
chinerv entrusted into the hands OF
one whom vast majority al the people
wanted. The eye of the people IS on
the coat-tail swingers, and when the
time comes to cast the ballot, the crew
who have the cheek to manipulate club
rolls after their club has elected dele
gates will not be voted for. The peo-
ple will in the coming primary display
common sense am sure: they will rot
be moved by sympathy, and will vote
for men who are competent: worthy
and we'll qualified, mentally and NOR
allv, and who have not held office for
/ many years. p.

To the Public.
Editor The Manning Times:

!
In YOUR issue of May 4th you publish
an address and order to the Harry Ben
bow Camp Confederate veterans by
Col. Brailsford, Commander.
The address and order so far as they
are concerned explains themselves and
the readers of THE TINES can read
and understand that much for them
selves. and as member Of the Camp,
and as one who has read Col. Brails-
ford's address and order will take the
liberty to remind him of an error he
has made in reference to contributions
made to enable needy Confederate vet
erans to attend the last annual reunion
at Columbia May y. Is. Il 1908.
Col. Brailsford in speaking OF former
contributions and by whom made, goes
on to say. ;'But on the occasion Of the
last reunion it was made manifest that
this outside natural and proper assist
ance had failed them for with the eN-
ception of Capt a. L. Lesesne and Capt.
l.. r. Tindal, who generously give five
dollars each. while the entire county
including the town of Manning in re-
Spouse to many letters and petitions.
gave six dollars.
At the reorganization of the Harry
Benbow Camp Confederate veterans Z
short while before the reunion at
Columbia, there was a committee ap-
pointed to solicit contributions, includ-
ing the writer. to a fund to be used in
paying the railroad fare to Columbia OF
veterans who were unable to pay their
own fare.
After the adjournment of the camp,
the writer at once set out to perform
the duty allotted, and called on several
OF the citizens of Manning who kindly
and willingly contributed the amounts
as also citizens outside of Manning was
asked.
Instead of six dollars as Col. Brails-
ford remembers being contributed sby
;;the entire county including Manning"
there was nine dollars and ten cents.
AS treasurer of the Camp all funds
were placed in the hands OF the writer,
and he was instructed to purchase
tickets as far as the funds would go.
and to give the tickets to those that
they were intended for.
The amount of contributions al
round looked small it is true, but still
they more than answered thelr pur,
pose. with a small balance left ana
which is still in the keeping OF the
treasurer, and which IS subject to the
order of the Commander.
\ statement of facts in reference to
what I now have written are on file at
this time in The MANNING TINES
Office. for after we returned home from
Columbia, and the last reunion, a; state
ment to and published in The MAN
MING TIMES.
Contributions from any other source
than has already been mentioned the
writer has DO knowledge OF.
The writer has only written this IN
Justice to the citizens OF Manning and
of the county generally and to remind
Col. Brailsford who is a long time
friend, veteran and q patriotic citl,
zen, we believe. of an unintentlonal
mistake.

Jndge's Pupil Proved Too Apt.

A prominent Judge and a
young lawyer we're taking a hol-
iday jaunt together, and having
a very jolly time of it, says the
Philadelphia Ledger. One day
the young man said to his com
panion:
"Judge, I wish you would tell
me what it is to which you attrl-
butte your very unusual success
in the law"
"Well. I don't mind doing so,
but it must be on one condition,
and that is, that you agree to
pay the rest Of my travelling ex-
penses on this trip.
To an ambitious young fellow
of considerable inherited fortune
that was not much to do and he
agreed.
ssIt is simply this" said the
Judge, Il always make it my
rule to deny everything and in
sist upon proof.
His friend acknowledged the
remark with a simple thank
you," and nothing further was
said about the matter.
The Judge did not limit him
self in his wines and other ex-
penses, and was running up a
pretty bill. When their stay at
that hotel was ended, they went
to the desk for their accounts.
The Judge received his and pass
ed it along to the younger man
with a twinkle in his eye.
"Why, what does this mean"'
he asked.
"Meanm said the Judge; lit
simply means that you ageed to
pay all my expenses on this trip,
and here's my bill"
Judge" said the other, Il
deny everything and insist upon
the proof.

Where the Blame Lay.

Stenrly the Judge regarded
the prisoner before him. He be-
held a man of tender unripe
years, whose face was fair to
look upon, bearing as it did eve
ry known mark Of honesty. Ap-
pearances gave no reason for
committing the crime, and yet
the Jury had decided, on first
ballot, that the prisoner was
guilty. In fact the plea for the
defense was very weak.
s:It seems increditable,;' said
the Judge, ''that a man Of your
connections should have stopped
SO low as to become a common
forger. Surely someone else
must have been the cause Of your
downfall. .
s:There was some one, " replied
the prisoner. 1T is yourself
your honor %
II" calculated the Judge,
amazed.
:sJust so. A short time ago l
was a member of the graduating
class in my college. You were
one of the speakers at the fare
well session. You may remem-
Der your words: The world lies
ahead of you. But you must
push your way steadily. I want
to soon see each occupying a
prominent place in the eyes of
your families and Of the world. 80
The prisoner paused and smiled.
Il forged quicker than the 9th
ers. I've gained a place before
the public. And now, what
next?:"
"Three years" laconacally
said the Judge. ':Next caseH'-

TO the Vets.
Editor The Manning Times:

notice in last issue that Capt. D. J.
Bradham has called meeting for Sat
trday, 14th inst, at the court house OF
Camp Harry Benbow who do not regard
themselves as proper characters to be
entertained in the homes OF Charleston
on the occasion Of our approaching re-
union. While his words are not pre-
ciselv in this language the sense con-
veyed is exactly this, for he says those
who desire to accept OF Cherleston's
hospita. .ity on this occasion he wants to
meet him on the l4th inst. AS the
very character of that socalled hospl-
talitv is the issue it is up to every lndl-
yidual veteran to decide for himself his
attitude in this matter. The teaching
of civilization and its invariable prac-
tice is to recognize invited guests into
the very sanctuaries of our homes.
We have been most cordially invited;
we accept: Charleston goes through
the mockery of throwing wide the gates
of the CITY but carefully locks the front
door and meets US at the depot with nu-
merous committees who carefully lead
US through by ways that terminate at
q vacant hospital or cotton shed.
This treatment of her own State vet
erans by any town is ineScusable: for
the number requiring entertainment IS
no larger than other bodies of citizens
whom they invite and entertain at their
homes. The old soldiers have no desire
to trespass upon the hospitality OF any
one and the humblest of them are COM
Portable in their little cabins. This re-
union business is now passed out OF
their hands. 1t is run in the interest
of the railroads and towns. with the
veterans as side show and side track
ed. AS regards the money collected to
take those requiring help to the reun-
ion I repeat that only five dollars was
collected outside of the ten given by two
citizens, after repeated petitions to
both the county and Manning by the
regular COMMITTEES appointed by the
Camp for this purpose: whatever other
unauthorized persons collected ana
made no report of l can't be expected
to know.
This issue is not shrouded in mystery,
it involves but one question and one
enswer. viz, is true and worthy Con-
federate veteran the equal OF any aver
age citizen and entitled to all the amen
tiles and courtesies of life? Is 1t debat-
able? l know in the hearts OF true men
and women in :'DiXie" the decision IS
in the affirmative. Then let US stamp
out all discrimination attempted against
him and regard him in his true light
as the most true, pure aud honest and
patriotic gentleman that ever graced
our home with his splendid presence.

MISERY FOR THE MASSES.

That the Russian government is in
grave danger from its own people is
shown from time to time by the
scraps Of news that escape the censor.
The St Petersburg correspondent of
the North American Review has writ
ten a thrilling letter concerning the
conditions among the czar's subjects.
one paragraph of which is follows:
For the first time in Russian his
tory the meaning of war has been
brought home to the minds of the
masses. During the Turkish cam
paign. its pressure was hardly felt.
The law Of universal conservation
was then only in its embryonic stage.
and the contributions of men made by
any particular area were quite insig-
nificant. At present mobilization
takes place in vast districts and popu-
lous cities, and the men come in
crowds wrathful and murmuring.

their homes and ordered to cut every
