Things political have become
very rotten in this State, when a
little town election is so corrupt
that the candidate for lntendant
receiving the majority vote had
to make himself scarce, and was
finally arrested and lodged in
iail together with his coconspira-
tors, charged with election
frauds. This recently happened
in the town of New Brookland,
and yet our State legislature is
chary about enacting laws to put
a stop to frauds.
The brazen frauds in this little
town election is but the outcome
of such practices in our prima-
ries, and they will continue from
bad to worse, until their is an
uprising of the people that will
not permit any man to hold othce
whose has resorted to bribery:
debauchery and box stufing.
These fraudulent practices do
not stop with the satisfying OF
an ambition to hold Office, but
they go on to breed an i'll use
of power and graft. Its cor
rupting influence permea a tes
everything, jury box not except
ed, and brings on a fearful state
of affairs. In every county where
frauds were submitted to, there
is extravaganza and increasing
taxation, and the attempt to
punish corruptionists in New
BrookIand, may cause the peo-
pie to wake up to do likewise
wherever corruption shows it.

There is something radically
wrong with the governments
method for obtaining informa-
ton regarding cotton production.
The last government report
showed a cotton acreage reduc-
ton Of II per cent, and the eff
feet was that the spectators
took advantage of the reported
small reduction and forced prices
down. The people throughout
the United States and Europe
are anxiously interested IN this
matter, and especially the farm
ers of the South, and when this
report was made public, it was
not satisfactory, because there
was a tremendous effort made
to persuade the cotton growers
to reduce their acreage and fer
tilizers, and the reports sent in
to the Southern Cotton Growers
Association strongly indicated
that the Cotton Growers not only
promised to reduce. but that
they had done so, and then, the
weather conditions were such as
to reduce the acreage still more,
so when the government said the
reduction was only II per cent,
it created an alarm. The officers
of the Association Immediately
began to investigate and their
prompt action has resulted in
getting from the government
another report, this time it
claims the reduction is IS per
cent.
We cannot understand why
there should have been any mis-
takes in the report. The gov.
ernment pays men to gather up
the information, and if these
paid officers are going to make
false reports to help spectators
the system is a fraud and should
be investigated, and the guilty
parties punished with lmprison-
ment.
The people have a right to ex-
pect fair and honest treat
ment from the government: but
they did not receive it from the
government in this cotton acre
age report, and on account Of
this false report thousands of
dollars was lost to those who
became frightened and sold their
cotton on the decline.
We believe that the one ex-
posure o. false reporting, repays
the farmers to stand by the as
sociation, and with this organi.
zation protecting the interests
of the cotton growers, there is
every reason to hope for excell-
ent results.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?

In our last issue We called at
tention to the projected new rail
road to come through this coun-
ty, and we called upon the local
Board Of Trade TO stick a pin
in itself to learn if it is alive. 1t
is not very encouraging to a
newspaper when it earnestly
tries to do something for the
towns welfare to be preach
ing to inanimate objects,
and when there is absolu-
tely no response to such
a call, it is an Indifference
on the part Of those who should
be concerned that makes a
writer feel that he is endeavor-
ing to stir tom bstones instead of
men.
Can it be that the Board Of
Trade in this town is composed
of men who do not want Man
ming to have competing railroad
facilities? If it is, then in the
name of sense build a wall
around the town and paint IN
large letters upon it: 'No
strangers admitted" There is
not a town the size Of Manning
inthe State with business menln
it, who are 50 sluggish as to not
be glad to actively participate
in. a movement looking to IN
ducing a new railroad, and here
we are, with a charter applied
for. and our business men so IN
different, selfish, or jealous Of
one another, as to be unwilling
to come together to devise means
to induce the projectors OF a rail
road to come here.
We want to say to the busi-
ness men Of Manning, that the
proposed railroad which would
give Manning a connection with
the Seaboard Air Line, will not
touch this point unless there is
some welcoming disposition
shown on the part of those who
would be benefited. We will say
further, that we learn the pro-
gressive little town of Summer
ton is not going to sleep over
the proposition, and is about to:
or has already taken steps to-
wards inducing the projectors of
the new road from Charleston
through this county to Monroe,
n. c., to touch Summerton, and
if they succeed, is there a bust
ness man in this town who is so
blind as to not see the loss to
Manning? Wake up and show a
disposition to put life into this
town. Do not be content with
the fictitious value placed upon
local property, and which is
serving as a hindrance to our
progress, but bestlr yourselves,
and do something to secure this
road and thereby put your prop
erty OF a real value instead of a
fictitious one.
Again, we urge uponthe chair
man of the local Board of Trade
to call a meeting of the business
men to discuss the ways and
means of inducing the new pro-
iected railroad to come to Man

SOUTH CAROLINA ALL RIGHT.

Il feel safe in assuring him that
South Carolina, true to the traditions
of the past. will do her full duty. Our
little State has ever been at the fore
front in a national crisis. In l1S7, John
Rutledge delivered his ultimatum TO
the convention which framed the con-
stitution. and from that day until her
civilization was overturned by war, the
voice of South Carolina was potent in
the councils of the nations. God grant
the day is not far distant when again
her craftsmanship will have some in
huence in shaping national politics.
She once led the South not only politi-
callv, but industrially. In 1885 she had
the longest line OF railroad in the
world, and today she competes with
Massachusetts cotton spindles. In ll6o,
when the colonists were considering g
what course to pursue, South Carolina
was the first to declare for continental
unity, and when Boston was blcckaded
by a British fleet, on account OF the
famous tea party prominent men
met in Charleston and sent aid to bos--
ton: South Carolina was the first OF
the thirteen colonies to form a constl-
tutlonal government and bancroft tne
historian declares that South Carolina
formed the Union.
The last blood Of the revolution was
shed upon South Cardinals soil, and
after the British had captured Boston,
New York and Philadelphia, the noun
tain men of this region turned the tide
at Cowpens and Kings Mountain, that
ended in the surrender at Yorktown.
When the revolution ended, South
Carolina was the largest creditor State
lpl the Union. She had contri-
buted of her wealth more for the cause
of liberty than any other.
1t was South Carolina statesman,
who replied to threat OF the French
ruler. millions for defense, but not
one cent for tribute,o a noble senti-
ment that was stamped upon the money

mountain lakes the Walchen is specially
suitable for power purposes. This lake,
six hlometers in length, extends through
the mountainous country at the considera-
BILE height of SO3 meters above the level
of the sea. The feature of this lake is
the fact that 1t reaches close to the side
of the mountains where the latter abb
ruptly decline to plateau several hundred
meters below. Close to the foot of the
plateau the Kechel lake is situated at only
COL meters above the sea level A connec-
ton between the two lakes for the pro-
duction of electrical power would undoubt-
eddy have been made long ago but for the
fact that the water in Walchen lake would
soon have been exhausted. There is, how
ever, a possibility of furnishing large
amounts of water to the Walchen lake as
the river Isar which is we'll supplied with
water during spring and summer, passes
a few kilometers to the south. The amount
of power available with a fall of 2O2 metres
is thought to be sufficient to warrant the
electrical operation of a great part Of the
Upper Bavarian state railway. AS the
neighboring district at present has prac-
tically no industries. a demand for the
power would have to be created unless II
is preferred to transmit it to Munich. From
the fact that the above projects are being
considered by the Department of Communi-
cations it is believed that extensive electric
railway developments may soon be an
nourced.
