KEEP CHURCH AND STATE SEPARATE.

The northern Methodist church
as such, went into politics good
and strong in the recent election
for the purpose of defeating
'Uncle Joe Cannon, but the old
political war horse was too much
for the ergy-pollticians, and the
old fellow was reelected by an
increased majority. The fight
however, is still on, the Metho
dist church could not beat Can
non at the polls, they will carry
the warfare to congress and bring
every influence to bear to defeat
him for reelection as speaker.
VIII they succeed? The Repub-
licans have a good, safe working
majority, but it the Cannon op
position car form an alliance with
the Democrats there is a posi-
bility of defeating the man
the Northern Methodist preach
ers are after. What good
will it do the Democratic
minority to defeat Cannon,
some other Republican must be
selected to WELD the gavel?
In our Judgment, unless the
Democrats can gain something of
advantage to the party: the best
thing they can do, is to sit down
good and hard upon church
embarking into politics.
There is a strong tendency to-
wards using church influence in
politics these days, and unless it
is checked there is no telling how
far-reaching twill become. There
must be in this free American
country a separation of church
and State, and unless they are
kept separate there will be dam
ger to free institutions.
The rebuke the Northern Meth
odist Church received in the re-
cent campaign should serve as an
object lesson to prove that Amer
leans will not submit to church
domination in political affairs.

Editor The Manning Times:

Editor The Manning Times:
The dye has been cast by the voting
out the dispensary, and the tlood-gates
to free whiskey has been now opened in
Clarendon county.
Yes, Prohibition is said now to pre-
vail in Clarendon and our word for it.
it will prevail only IN name but never
in fact. The dispensary plan by which
Intoxicating liquors has been sold ia
South Carolina for the past fifteen years
and more, has we believe been the best
plan ever devised by mortal man.
We do honestly believe for intoNicanls
to be manufactured and sold by man is
divine right, Us much so as We believe
it q divine right for man to sell sugar,
coffee or for anr other commodity that
is daily sold.
In the use of intoXicants we.wish it
distinctly understood that we don't say
it is a divine right for an: man TO abuse
the same, and TO a5uSe,and miStreat his
family from an over indulgence in in
toNlcauts.
There are laws on the statute books OF
South Carolina If properly and inpart!-
ally enforced will call any man down
thatso far focgets to keep himself with
in the bounds OF decency and respect
ability while 10 the Indulgence OF intox-
icants
Honest and sincere prohibitionlsts we
Will honor and ever respect them: but
the whiskey drinking prohi5isionists. we
will pity them and will ever look upon
them as a misguided people. 1t is in
deed amusing to hear Prohibitionists
say that public sentiment will see that
prohibition is enforced when at the same
time they know full we'll that public
sentiment has never enforced any law
in South Carolina, but that many mat
ters of law will ever remain us they ever
have remained;what is every mans bus.
mess is no mans business and so many
matters Will ever remain nullity.
Before the waxing and waning OF
many moons many thirsty whiskev
drinking prohibitionists will be repent
ing in sackcioth and ashes for being such
fools in voting out the dispensary, and
will put up many lamentations for only
a ''wee drap."
Let Sumter, Florence and Williams
burg prepare for it. for they will realize
Il good profit from Clarendon in their
dispensary business.

The Columbia State objects tc
"a newspaper or a public man
having independent political
views, that in order to be Dem.
ocrat according to The States
standard, there must be a sub
mission and strict obedience to
the party mandates. Very good
doctrine, but it strikes US as
rather queer coming as it does
from a newspaper which was
founded upon opposition to the
regular Democratic party in this
State. The Columbia State has
not always been so straight
laced and orthodox in its
democracy. at any rate, not
enough to assume the posi-
ton of debating a standard
as a guide for Democrats.

Judge Klugh's sentence of W.
A. Thompson was so severe that
we are inclined to believe His
Honor permitted his prejudices
to override his sense Of justice.
The idea Of imposing a fine OF
$1,000 Or IS months IN the peni-
tentiary for violating the dispen-
sary law. Why not impose a
life sentense? Is the selling of
wniskey a hinous offense? We
think not. There was a time
when it was lawful to sell
whiskey without a license, but
now the sale is prohibited and
the law makes it a misdemeanor
for individuals to deal in liquor,
but it is not of that class OF
crimes which demand such a
drastic sentence. We ventue to
say that Judge Klugh has given
a man convicted Of assault and
OdGGeIy WILL tuCeuC W ALI. d
much lighter sentence.
There is such a thing as play
ing for popular plaudits, and
going too far. This man Thomp.
son was convicted in Spartan
burg county Of vioIati,.1 the dis
pensary law. It is said he is d
man of means, the Judge impo
ses a rd-breaking sentence,
which IN our opinion, displayed
prejudice, and if prejudice actu-
ated such heavy sentence.
the Judge did more harm 10 the
cause OF justice than the man
who sold liquor.

SUPERVISOR M'FADDlN PUTS IT UP 10
EDITOR NETTLES.

Thapublicationin the Southern
Christian Advocate November
18th, relating to the election held
in Clarendon on the liquor ques-
ton. and in which it is stated that
Supervisor McFaddin admitted
that a high official Influenced him
not to publish the notice." has
aroused the Indignation of Mr..
McFaddin, and he feels that a
grave injury has been done him.
Immediately upon having his
attention called to the editorial in
The Southern Christian Advo-
cate, he addressed letter to It's
editor demanding the authority
for the assertion that he admit
ed that a high official Influenced
him not to publish the notice, to
his letter Rev. S. A. Nettles, edi-
tor of The Southern Christian
Advocate replied as follows:
Spartanburg, S. C. Nov. 20, 1908.
Mr.. r. E. McFaddin. Manning, S. c
My dear Sir:
Replying to yours of the 18th, re-
spectfully refer you to Rev. D. a. Phi
lips ard Mr.. Joseph Sorott. They will
substantiate what appeared in the Adso-
cate. I copied the figures from some
paper. Naturally I thought them cor
rect. 1t seems the majority was about

Yours Very Truly,
JOSEPH SPROTT

It will thus be seen that some
body has gravely blundered, and
the statement that Supervisor
McFaddin admitted that a high
official Influenced him not to pub.
lish the notice" did not emanate
from the source the editor of the
SouthernChris gave
as the reference who would sub
stantiate the charge made by him.
That Mr.. McFaddin should feel
aggrieved by such d damaging
statement being made in the Off
cial organ Of the Methodist church
is quite natural, especially when
there is absolutely no foundation
for the charge; any man of pride
would feel keenly the stigma.

Der Of the delegation Tho wants
to raise the tax levy, at the same
time: none Of them would be will
ing to have a chaotic condition.
1t is impossible to have roads and
bridges in travelling condition
without money, andif the present
levy will not raise enough to
meet the demands, why,a higher
levy must be imposed. The do
ing away with the chaingang
would we believe save some mon
ey, that is, if the people will keep
the roads and bridges up: but if
they are going to content them
selves with the commutation tax,
then it will not be long before our
roads and bridges will be in d
seriously badcondition: and when
public affairs get in q ramshack
led condition it will cost the more
to get in good condition.
There are a number Of men
who are good at critlcislng those
who try to do something for the
public good, who may render the
public a better service if they will
devise a way and means which
will aid the delegation in solving
the bad problem which confronts
it. Now is the time to suggest,
do not wait until action is taken
to criticise.
