Editor The Manning Times:

Editor The Manning Times:
The State denies your charge that it
was founded in opposition to the reSu-
lar Democratic party of South Carolina.
Your charge is true bill. When the
Democratic party of South Carolina
nominated TilJman for Governor, | be.
ing about to put my paper, The Regls-
ter, the Columbia morning daily, IN
advocacy OF his election, went TO see
John 7. Sloan, Jr., chairman OF the
Democratic County Convention Of tlcho
land County, who was also attorney for
the Central National Bank. with which
| had formerly done blsiue>S, and told
him what | intended to do, and he
agreed with me that it would be decld-
edly prejudicial TO the interests of Co
lumbia for its newspaper to oppose the
will of the people. | was then borrow
ing $1,000 year from Haskell's bank
(the Loan and Exchangel paying it
81, POO 4 year interest in advance, my
business having been solicited sway
from the Central by tle offer of s per
cent instead Of 10 and an increase OF
the loan from $40, 900 to Sl3,e0 for three
years. Fearing that this lo;lu. That had
still d year 70 run. would Be fol eclosed,
which it did attempt 10 do, | got from
Sloan a promise. that his bank would
come to my assistance. which, however.
it failed TO do, and lny paper would
have been seized and taken away from
me but for the help of d Northern
friend and my Columbia friend. Chris.
Habenicht, deceased, who plunked
down The Sl5, 600 for me.
There was 90 earthly reason for
starting the State save opposition TO
the will of the people, for The Register
was a good newspaper with which the
people were satisfied, as proved by the
signatures of many OF its best citizens
when an effort was made by the projec-
tors of The State to procure the Asso-
ciated press service by stating that my
paper was inimical to Columbia's inter-
ests. They failed to get this service,
and after fighting me at heavy loss
for year Haskell, its president, went
To New York and sought to undermine
my credit and offered to pay my lndebt-
edness if my creditor would hand over
my property to him, saying that he had
nothing personally against me aud
would give me the business manage
lnent.
regret to say that Sloan, after aa-
vising me as he did, became 81, 900
stockholder in the paper that started to
break down The Register, which es.
poused the peoples cause, for which l
should hive pilloried him at the time.
You are eminently correct. The
State was started as the mouthpiece of
the so-called better classes OF South
Carolina. who had so long been accus-
toned to rule our affairs and did not
relish the plain people having L MUD
of their own. Had The Register sup
ported the boiling Haskell ticket The
State newspaper would never have
been heard of, and if the effort to stiae
the voice OF the party's organ does not
indicate hostility to The party, What

A Horrible Tragedy.

One of the most shocking crimes
ever perpetrated in ClareDdon occurred
last Saturday afternoon on the planta'
ton of Mr.. w. I. Lesesne, about three
miles West Of Manning, about ) O'Clock,
when Mrs. Minnie B0seman, OF -Alco'
lu, was shot and killed by her brotner'
Frank Driggers.
The deceased, we are told, had q
claim upon horse which was IN the
possession of her brother, and bad
blood had been brewing for sometime
about the horse. On Saturday Mrs
Boseman, with her husband, went TO
Driegers', where they remained sew
eral hours. One report has 1t. theF
dined there, when about TO leave, II IS
alleged that DrigSers struck his sister
two blows in lhe face, but she and her
husband got into their wagon ana lett,
with Driggers following them armed
with gun; about 200 yards from the
house, the horse baked, ana when
Drioeers came within about 50 feet OF
them. The woman turned her head,
looking towards him and said: "Frank
YOU are not going to shoot me:' the
gun fired, AMI the shot lodged in her
Shoulder. face and neck. She was take
TO the home Of another. brother nearby
and died in less thau two hours after
being Shot. 1t is also said that when
Mrs. i;oseman WAS leaving his house
Dricyers called his daughter TO !oad
and bring him his guu. The cir! put
blank shells in the weapon, but Orig
gers found it out and forced her 70
bring him loaded shells.
II is a horrible story, ant whlskey,
we have no doubt, played u prominent
part in the tragedy. Quarreiled about
horse. aud inhamed with liquor. a
brother kills his sister. The sister dead,
the brother in Jail charged with muir
der.
Frank Drigsers, we are told, claims
the shooting was purely accidental,
came in on Saturday night and sur
rendered TO Sheriff Gamble. Coroner
Tobias held the inquest Sunday. and
the Jury returned the formal verdict
that Mamie Boseman came to her
death from gunshot wounds at the
hands of Frank DriGgerrs.
Driggers is Il hard-worklug man, and
capital farmer, he is accommodating
and usually OF q quiet disposition, but
when under the influence OF liquor is
disposed TO be noisy and quarrelsome-
The deceased sister was not always
OF gentle disposition, disposed TO be
ugly at times, and she has been con-
ricted in the Court OF General Sessions
of assault and battery.
