Candidate Epps Endorsed.

Mr.. Editor:-Allow me space in this
paper to endorse the nomination OF D:
Mitchell Epps for the legislature: |
read what "a Voter had to say IN THE
TINES of last week about getting good
men for the legislature, and have nearo
that some are accusing the editor Of
being a GA Voter" but that is an old
gag OF the politicians. Anything that
appears in the paper that does not
please them, it is the editor everytime.
I have no ide1 who ga Voter is, nor
do know but one of the men he sug.
gested, and that is Mr.. Timmons. If
Mr.. Timmops will run l will vote for
him. because | believe he can help us.
Mitchell Epps is a good man, an old
Confederate soldier and a successful
farmer, and if the people will elect him
they will find he VII be IS good Rep
resentariye as we have been having
of late years. EoA.

Clarendon Answered.

Replying to the questions propounded
bv one who signs himself clarendon"
in last weeks Times. l make answer
as follows:
20. l. Are you in favor OF a continu-
ance OF the State dispensary? Ans.
No.
20. ,. Do you believe that the Raysor-
Manning Bill will purify the dispen-
sary?" Ans. No. In my opinion, the
Manning -Raysor Bill is nothing more
nor less than trick for politicians to
plead for a longer lease of life for al IL.
stitution that is corrupt. The greater
part of the graft comes from the pur-
chase of case goods, and the Raysor-
Manning Bill does not make any at
tempt to stop that leak.
.tQ.3. Will you support in the August
primarv, the Hon. J. r. Lyon for At
torney General" Ans. That question
is impertinent. 1t has no bearing what
ever upon the issues, and is altogether
q matter of private choice. Every man
whether he be 4 candidate or not has
the right to vote for who he pleases and
he is entitled to keep his vote secret,
but | can. and will answer the question.
although l do not regard Clarendon"
as having the right to ask it. am 60
ing to vote in the coming primary for
Hon. J. F. Lyon, because believe him
to be man free from the influences OF
political tricksters and that he has the
manhood to do his duty iearlessly and
conscientiously. I also will vote for J.
F. Lyon because I believe the State dis
pensary crew is responsible for the flood
of Columbia Records that are being
scattered all over the country, filled
with TRADES OF abuse of Mr.. Lyon. If
Mr.. Lyon was not feared by the dispen-
sary crew, why are they spending SO
much money in trying to keep him out
of the Attorneys Generals office, where
he will be at the head of the prosecut-
ing machinery of the State:
This is my answer to clarendon.
Respectfully,
Louis Applet.

President Hodges Plan.

Manning, S. c., July 25, 1906.
Editor THE MANNING TINES:
Iwant to say to the farmers generally
and to the Cotton Association that my
faith is still unshaken in the great
good that has been done and still will
be done by the Association fer the
South. The necessary change OF tao
tics of the association from puohshing
everything that we were trying to 40
to keeping quiet and working through
its executive committee national, State
and county to keep up with all condi-
tions of the present crop, supply and
demand, and to try and finance the Or
ganization its greatest need. Some
people seem to have lost confidence be-
cause we failed to get the Is cents but
that does not keep the cotton IRON
being worth the price, but we are IN
great measure in the hands OF our I'M
ancial masters. All cotton spectators
from foreign countries to New ork
exchange and to our own doors, but l
did not start out to make speech but
to state some facts, flrstthat there Is not
a cotton State that has as good crop as
last year except Oklahoma II, 900 IS the
outside estimate of the majority OF the
cotton statistics are that IL is needed
cotton premium almost sure are GER
tain. That on account Of such poor
facilities for storage and at such high
rate of insurance acd the cotton buyer
only wanting hundred bales at time
and paying from so to 100 per cent
above the quotation price. A great
many of our people have become weak
kneed and sold out and thus failed the
rules but to those who haven't sold out
I want to try plan to offer 1t for sale.
That is all persons having cotton eltner
in warehouses or at home Will write me
at once how many bales and on given
dav we will offer it for sale to the high
est bidder either as whole or accord
ing to grades. I will invite all bidders
desiring cotton to come and we can eX-
pect the highest bid or reject just as
each Individual shall choose. Say, A
has 5 bales middling and above and /
middling and ordinary and all the cot
ton we can put together in this way IS
offered and bid on by grades he can ana
will reserve the right to say which o1er
or offers he will accept or reject. All
cotton that is ,at the Manning ware
house or brought there on that day l
will have graded by local man of our
own. Now this is a new plan to sell
cotton but think is the best way to
sell all of our corps. There Is d great
deal more that I would like to say but
will refrain except this opportunity to
thank my numerous friends throughout
the county for all the kind things they
have said to me in urging me to become
a Icandida4e for the Legisls::1.7c, all OF
which I have most positively declined,
because I do believe that 1t would
6etrimental to the cotton association for
it's officers to 60 into politics at this time.
Thanking you kindly for the help that
| have been given as your county presl-
denl and hoping for its success and the
only way to get that is for US to pull
together. ~

Editor The Manning Times:

EClCOr lnS A1uu1uS 4iASS-
The letter in last weeks TINES
signed "a Voter" touched ne IN ten
der spot and I agree with. "a Voter"
that we need good strong delegation
in the general assembly. He suggests
the names of three gentlemen that
would fill the bill I believe and II they
consented to enter the race believe
they would receive a strong support.
We need just such len. I have also
been looking around for men, and my
mind has turned 20 3. P. Broadway OF
Pinewood, W. NJ. Plowden OF Manning
and W. T. Sprcte of Jordan. Neither
of these gentlemen have been consulted
and I have no idea whether they can
be induced to make the sacrifice, but
if they would I believe they would
make US good representatives: Like
the gentlemen proposed by "a Voter.
they, are not politicians, but are men OF
settled convictions and have the coun-

That Kick Struck.

In last weeks TINES we alluded to
complaint among the candidates for
county supervisor, to the effect that
men who are drawing pay in each
township out of the communication tax
fund, are workers in the interest OF
the man.who signs their pay certificate"
This complaint was not made to US
directly. but it has been frequently
talked here and elsewhere in the
county, not that any road overseer was
EMPLOYED to electioneer, but being
employed by the man IN Office gives
that officer who is a candidate, the ad-
vantage over the others. Last Satur-
dav two of these overseers laid much
stress on denying that they were en-
ploved to electioneer. No one accused
them of being employed to electioneer;
what we did say was, "if it is a fact
that men who are employed by the
County Supervisor are devotlng their
time to his political interests it is
wrong and unfair to the other candi-
dates,'' and then we went on and men
toned what the commutation tax fund
was for. One of these two overseers
was so excited over his construction OF
what appeared in The TINES that he
demanded the name of the candidates
| who complained, and OF conrse this was
refused him, then he said if we did not
give him the name ''they would sad
dle it on us, but when we informed him

\ letter from Mr.. D. N. Epps, in re

TINES, was brought to this office by
Mr.. J. NJ. Woods late this morning, too
late for US 10 get it up in type without

the understanding that If returned to

Cards are out announcing the coming
marriage of Rev. John hershaw, rector
of St. Matthews Episcopal church at
Summerton. to Miss Helen Tindal, a
daughter of the late Hon. +. a. Ilndal
to take place IN the Presbyterian
church at Summerton on the morning
of the 1th lust. The editor of THE
TINES appreciates an invitation to be
present.
The storm which struck the Fork,
in northerly direction from Manning
did much damage. The wind blew
down houses and trees, and the hail
tore crops up very badly. We saw
sample of cotton taken from a 80 acre
field belonging to Mr.. E. D: Hodge,
and he says it was fair sample OF the
crop. The stalks had the appearance
of making a bale of cotton to the acre,
and it was so badly cut and oeaten
by the hail and wind that it IS com
pletely ruined. We are also told Mr.
F. NJ. Barwick's crop is in sadly
demolished condition. The mill dam at
Appelt,s mill was broken by food and
the mill house tloated down the race
and demolished. 1t is distressing to
hear the many places damaged.
News was telegraphed here last Sat
urdsy afternoon to Mrs. J. E. Mcleod,
who is visiting her brother, Mr.. E. D.
Hodge, that John and Howard Hodge,
aces Ii and Is years respectively, sons
of the late Almede o. Hodge, and
nephews of Messrs. Paul and Frank
of Pinewood, had been killed accident
ally at Georgetown. The victims were
drinking water at an artesian well near

mills, and what is called the thog. "
