 "WALTER MOORE. Chairman"
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1904-03-09

Senator Tillman is unawed by
the favorable report on the
Crum nomination, and when the
matter comes up in the Senate
he proposes to show his brother
Senators what he can do to pre-
vent the confirmation of an OBJ
noxious nomination. 1t is to be
hoped the Senator will be sue
cessful, but the politics of the
Republican party, in our opin-
ion, will not let the Republican
Senators defeat Crum There
are number of them who
do not want Cru,n in Office, but
they dare not turn him down as
they come from States where
the negro vote means much to
their party-hence as a party
policy they will cast their votes
for the confirmation of Crum.
The most we look for in Senator
Tillman's effort, is to make by
the discussion, campaign mater
ial for the coming National con-
test, and it will depend largely
upon the character of the
speeches whether orvnot the
Democratic party will be helped.
So far as the South is concerned
the discussion of the race ques-
ton will be a waste of time, as
this section is clinched in its de.
termination, but in the North
and West snch is not the case,
and the speeches in the Crum
case may have the effect of
|arousing white supremacy is
sue which will force the line to
be drawn in politics as we'll as
in matters social. If Crum is
confirmed it will be over the
earnest protest of Senators Till
man and Latimer and every
other Democratic Senator; not
withstanding this: for the rea-
sons already given we believe
ne will be confirmed, but we
think the strong fight made will
result in there being no more
such appointments, as t h e
Republicans are heartily sick Of
the issue they are forced to face,
and probably swallow.

I am glad to see John Slab making
his appearance. I differ with him a
little on his advice to the farmers on
the acreage of cotton planting, large
cotton crop in this State does not cut
any figure with the prices. 1t is the
big crops in other States, Texas and
Mississippi that knock the bottom out
of prices.
There is big demand for cotton
now. Why can't the farmers of this
county organize, pay a good man to as
certain from the cotton growing beltthe
information with regard to acreage, and
govern their sales according ". If this
was done it would prevent the market
being flooded, and the spectators from
pressing down the price, and the far
mers would get just price for their
produce.
I hope the editor is not suffering from
inertia this week, as we wish him to
keep in good trim to keep his paper up

he don't want to brag, but I see he
