AN UNFORTUNATE ISSUE.

The letter in this issue from
DR.. J. F. Geiger may express
the view Of majority in this
school district, if it does, times
have greatly changed. Before
DR.. Gelger came to Manning, to
have a school here, maintained
by the public was a severe
struggle; a few public-spirited
citizens, one of whom was the
late Moses Levi, and who was
one of the main stays in our
school movement, overcome the
opposition and provided Man
ning with improved public
school facilities. Then, when
the Levi children, after their
fathers death came forward with
the proposition to purchase the
school property, about to go into
private hands, present it as a
memorial to their deceased father,
a man who had done much in
Clarendon, many were helped by
him in a time when he proved
himself a friend in days of need,
never refusing to respond to a
call Of charity, man who did
his duty as soldier, a patriot,
and a citizen. and, who always
contributed Of his means for ob-
'jects for the general welfare,
schools. churches, poor, sick,
the proposition was not only
gratefully accepted. but the
motive actuating the Levi heirs
was generally commended.
In Charleston they have the
Memminger, Croft, Bennett, and
other schools named for citizens,
and Columbia has the Taylor
school, named for a citizen, and
we see no valid reason to object
to a Manning school being
named for a citizen.
But if Dr.. Geiger speaks for
this community: which must be
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1908-08-19

proven TO convince, then let the
people say to the Levi heirs,
:.take back your property, we do
not need it now. When we ac-
cepted your gift with it's con-
ditions we needed it, but times
have changed" So far as we are
concerned it matters not what
name a school has-the school
is the thing, but if the people
Of this district desire the name
changed. let them petition the
trustees to have a ballot, and
if by a ballot a majority expires,
! ses themselves in favor of a
change of name, they of course
would not have the Lewis to give
them the property for less than
its market value.
The Levi children we're born
and reared in Clarendon, and
they are generous people, but
in our opinion they will hardly
feel like being generous to those
who slap them in the face, by
trampling r~.i'or foot that which
they hold car to their hearts.
Wha IT. Geiger says about
representations made in The
TINES prior to the bond election,
in effect is correct, and there is
no doubt whatever Of the title tc
the property being changed from
the Town of Manning: to School
District, No. 9. A large number
Of citizens, however. prefer tc
manifest their appreciation OF
the gift from the Lewis as it was
accepted, and they object to a
change in the name.
The trustees have no right tc
change the name without the peo
pies consent, and if the issue
is made. I'VE think it deploraole
the question is raised, as it can
only result in bitterness). DR.
Geiger will, we think, be con
vinced he is not voicing the sen,
timent of this community.

Clarendon County is being
flooded With copies Of The Her
aid and News" published at New
berry, which contains very good
advertising matter for Senator
Blease's candidacy for governor,
and we are to presume the mat
ter is being paid for just as was
the News and Courier and the
Columbia State. Both Of these
dailies printed a good deal Of the
same matter atadvertising rates.
There is also another newspa-
per published at Newberry "The
Observer" which stands very
high that has declined to give its
support to Mr.. Blease but is sup
porting Governor Ansel for re-
election. Of course "The Oh.
server" is not being sent out by
Mr.. Blease's friends. 1t is our
opinion, the money being spent
to distribute The Herald and
News is wasted, because the av-
erage voter understands the ad-
vertislng in a newspaper does
need not always be an expression
of the editors endorsement, even
if it does in this instance.

The TIMES hasno cause to mis-
lead it's readers, and when 1t urg

between Senator Blease and the

fore did he permit his personal
feelings to influence him in his

We sincerely believe had the
cotton been locked up in the
warehouses, and kept away from
the mills the cotton associations
fixed price would have been paid,
but if Mr.. Smith can be elected
to the United States Senate. and
can secure legislation which will
make the cotton farmer inde-
pendent of warehouses controlled
by mill influence, there is no
no doubt whatever in our mind
that the "white product OF the
South" will bring a better price,
aud subjected to less fluctuations
than now. The TINES is sup
porting Mr.. Smith because we
have confd ,lce in his earnest
ness to do something for his
people. When Mr.. Smith was
campaigning in the up-country
our friend Burgess should have
attended a meeting, drawn his
catechism, and made the aspir-
ant for the Senate look straight
in the eyes of the catechiser,
and forced the catechised to show
why he should be entitled to the
votes of the masses, instead Of the
candidate Mr.. Burgess has cleo.
ted to support. Had he done this;
perhaps Mr.. Smith would have
not been able to stand the exam
ination. We said there has not
been breath of scandal in con.
nection with Mr.. Smiths labors
for the cotton association, and
say so now, and we also say
those opposing him are circula-
ting all manner Of reports
against Smith. These reports
are not scandalous, however,
Mr.. Burgess imagines he has
discovered another inconsis
fancy, but a man raised in Clar-
endon with sense enough to find
his way Seneca should know re,
ports may be circulated against
a man, and do him injury which
are not scandalous. To illus
trate; a report may be circulated
that Smith had dealt in cotton
futures for the purpose Of in
iuring him, and there may be
just enough truth in the report to
make it the worse kind Of a de-
ception, and yet it would not be
scandaIous. Therefore, werepeat
there has not been a breath of
scandal with Smiths connection
with the association, yetthere are
all manner of reports being circu
lated to influence voters against
him.
Why, Mr.. Burgess letter in
this issue is not scandalous, yet,
