Later, yielding to the dominating
sentiment in the North, Lincoln weak
ened and seemed to surrender his OBJ
jections to the free blacks remaining in
this country, even going so far in a
message to congress as to describe that
objection as largely imaginary. if not
sometimes malicious" If he had lived,
it may be that he would have modified
some OF his other positions, carried
along with the current of radicalism
and "war time passion" 1t may be
that he would have been persuaded to
countenance immediate and universal
manhood suffrage for the blacks. But
it is nevertheless fact that while he
lived he went no further than to sug-
gest an experiment of negro suffrage
limited to a select few.-Macon Tele-

Lincoln and Negro Suffrage.

Recently the New York Evening Post
declared that negro suffage was the
greatest achievement of Abraham Lin
coin and the Republican party party"
In answer to the protest of correspon-
dent, who described the grant of negro
suffrage as "a stupendous error, excus-
able on no other grounds but war time
passions" the Evening Post declared
that "the enfranchisemedt OF the negro
was not the result of passion but a
|statesmanlike action, certain OF some
bad results, but justified in that talone
saved the negro from reinstatement
under another name" The Evening
Post further asserted its belief in uni
versal manhood suffrage without re-
gard to the moral character OF the
voter.
The Evening Post has a right to these
opinions or to any others, however eX-
traordinary, that it my elect to hold.
But whethe niversal negro suffrage
was the greatest or the least achieve
ment of the Republican party, it can
not be accurately described as an
achievement OF Abraham Lincoln. His
i6ea was an experiment OF negro suff-
rage limited to a very few In his let
te. 20 Governor Hahn of nquered
Louisiana, he said:
Il barely suggest, for your private
consideration, whether some of the col
ored people may not be let in, as, for
instance, the very intelligent, and es-
pecis.lly those who have fought gallant
ly in our ranks But this is only sug-
gestion, not to the public, but you
alone"
In his debates with Douglas just be-
fore the war Lincoln very frankly
declared that he was mot in favor OF
negro citizenship" In the same de-
bates he said: There is physical
difference between the two traces
which, in my judgment, will probably
forever forbid them living together
upon the footing of perfect equality"
Doubtless it was for this reason that al
most to the last he favored the deporta-
ton and colonization of the slaves as
soon as they were set free. To q depu-
tation Of free blacks on August II, 1862,
he declared that the only solution of
the problem was the separation OF the
races referring to his plan of colonizing
the freedmen in purchased foreign tel-
ritory. "On this broad continent, he
frankly said to them. not a single man

STATE ELECTION NEWS.

The press dispatches are bella
ted on account Of rain and floods,
but enough has been reported to
show Rhett and Smith leading in
the senatorial race with Evans a
close third. We do not think
there is doubt of Smith being in
the second race, with a strong
probability Of Evans getting in
with him. Should the fight be
between Smith and Evans, then
it will be up to the agricultural
interests to chose between a man
horepresents farming interests,
and one who represents that
great corporation, The Western
Union Telegraph Company. and,
should the race be between Smith
and Rhett, then it will be for the
people to chose betw cen farming
interests and banking interests.
Governor Ansel has a lead. Of
10000 over Blease, which will in
crease to at least 25, 900 and per
haps more, unless the floods
cut the vote in the upper-tier OF
Counties. Let US be thankful
that the heel of disapproval has
been put on misrepresentation
and demagogy. Boyd is leading
Thompson for adjutant and in
spector general. Jones has wal
loped Brooker, Caughman and
Cansier are leading for rail road
commissioner with Summersett
third.
Swearingen leads for Superin-
tendent of Education with Melli-
champ second. The indications
are that Senator Neils Christen-
sen has been reelected senator
in Beaurfort. This showing may
look different tomorrow. It is
hard to get the news.
Let everybody get ready for
the second primary and fight fo;
that which is right.

The leaders of the Democratic
party of this State, should, IN
our opinion, devise some way SO
that candidates will be required
to State their positions upon
public questions over their sig
natures, instead of relying upon
what the candidates might say
on the hustings. Then there
should be some rule which will
forbid mud-slinging on the
stump If there is candidate
for Office whose character,
or public record is to be attack
ed, let that be done in the pub
lie prints where the people can
Judge between them.
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1908-08-26

The candidates are now thin
ned out to a stand, it will be
much easier to make a selection.
Everybody cannot win, it fre-
ouently happens the best man
could not get into the second
race. The second primary comes
of on September Sth, and in this
election the same managers will
act. Now let US ali go to the
polls and exercise a wise discre-
ton. Let no man cast a vote to
crafty malice, or be guided in
his choice by sympathy. Merit
should be the guide entirely. In
the first primary we took no part,
editorialIy or individually for or
against any OF the county
candidates, except to cast
a vote for the men of
our choice, and in the second
primary we shall adopt the same
course, but we would urge our
readers to turn out in the second
primary and vote for the men,
who, in their Judgment are the
best suited for the positions they
seek.

The first battle of ballots en-
ded yesterday, and many were
laid away IN the ''also ran;
class. The successful ones feel
proud of their triumph: while
the defeated should not mourn,
but rather console themselves
with the thought that 'sthere
may come a time some day,
and it is better to have fought
and lost than not to have fought
at all. The man who ran this
time and was defeated, may at
another time run and win: there,
fore we see nothing discourag-
ing in their defeat, and besides,
we would ,advise those entitled
to a seat on the mourner's bench
to have hope, even should. fate
decree them to die in despair.
Because, should they give up
ali hope, two years from now
we might lose their precious FIVE
dollars, which will be as disap-
pointing to US, as the loss of a
political job is now to them.

Yesterdays News & Courier
publishes a letter from J. A. At
wood, chairman of the speakers
committee for the National Dem
ocratic Committee, which is az
invitation to Hon. r. Goodyn
Rhett to take the stump in be-
half of the democratic ticket. Mr..
Rhett has accepted the invl-
tation. So Notwithstanding the
assaults made by some Of his op.
ponents on Mr.. Rhett's demo
cracy, the national committee re,
gard him so good a democrat they
want him to go upon the stump
to plead for the cause OF Demo
cracy.
We wish this same committee
would also extend a similar invl,
tation to Messrs. Smith, Evans
and Johnstone, they are all good
speakers, and could, if oratory.
and argument is effective, do hne
missionary work at the North
and West: for Bryan and Kern. Il
South Carolina sends out a speak.
ing team, made up Of such ora.
tors as Rhett, Smith: Evans and
Johnstone, and Bryan wins, this
State should come in for a gooo

BOTH PARTIES ARE OFF.

The two parties have nomina-
ted their standard bearers, and
the candidates for president and
vice president of both parties
have accepted the honor. In
South Carolina, it is all one way,
hence, there's no excitementover
the national election. It would
be better perhaps did we have a
good stiff white republican party
here just to keep the Democratic
party from growing careless.
The Democratic nominees are
Bryan and Kern, they are daily
receiving encouraging reports
from the West, and from New
York. and if New York go there
with Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and
California give their electoral
votes to them Bryan and Kern
will be inaugurated next March.
There is no doubt, the Repub-
licans are very much agitated
over schisms in their ranks in at
number Of States, which if not
settled satisfactory, spells Re
publican defeat. Ohio is rent to
pieces with dissensions, so is
West Virginia, and Iowa; the re-
cent horrible trouble, which as
sumed the proportions Of a race
riot in Illinois will also have a
bad effect on the Republicans,
and help to drive votes into the
Democratic column.
At one time we had very little
hope for Democratic success, but
things are frightening, and un-
less there is blundering with the
management of the campaign the
standard of Democracy will be
planted on the white house in
Washington.
Cash is needed, and the appeal
for funds to help win the fghti is
being responded to, SO far very
little from Clarendon, not even
from the political benefciaries:
but there is yet time and every
man who wants Bryan and Kern
to win can say how many cents
worth of earnestess he has by
contributing the money.

", c, 7. u. PICNIC AT CHAPLIN.
Mrs. Joseph Sprctt, State President, and
Others Deliver Addresses.

Chaplin, Aug. 21.-The annual picnic
OF the Women's Christian Temperance
union of Chapin was held Friday, Aug
ust IA.
The first speaker introduced was Mrs.
Joseph Sprott of Naming, the State
president of the W. C. T. U. In win
some, womanly way she told of the work
of the organization; its growth from d
few brave, devoted women to an army
half million strong: of it's success in
the Southland, seeking always to pro-
tect the weak, lift the fallen, and, above
all, to train up the youth against the
evils of strong drink and to teach them
it's blighting effect upon the human
system, keeping true ever to the watch
words, "agirate, educate and organize, :"
the organization having been defined
by Miss Willard as ''organized mother
love-"
Mrs. Sprott has proven most eff
cient State president, the work having
grown along all lines the TWO years
during which she has filed that Office.
The work of the W. c. T. .. IN South
Carolina having been on missionary
ground for years, is now self-sustainlng
and even contributing to the national
organizing fund.
The Hon. G. c. Featherstone of Lau-
rens was next introduced. His address
was short, forceful and convincing, a
lively vein of humor giving pith and
point to many of his arguments in favor
of prohibition.
Dinner was 10 important feature, the
table being literally covered with de-
licious, wholesome food, calculated to
tempt the appetite as well as appeal to
the aesthetic.
DR.. C.. E. Burts, pastor of the First
Baptist church of Edgefeld, spoke IN
the afternoon. He paid beautiful and
fitting tribute to the work and workers
of the W. C. T. u, urging all good cit
liens and especially all Christians to
vote for prohibition.
DR.. Burts seemed the embodiment OF
fearless Christian manhood as he advo'
Gated so earnestly and eloquently the
cause. "For God and Home and Native
Land"
DR.. Burts was followed by Mr.. How.
| ell MorreIl of Richland who spoke es'
pecially of his successful efforts in TEN.
perance work IN he several schools Of
which he had been principal. He was
enthusiastically applauded by the loyal
temperance legion.
The programme was enlivened by IN
spring prohibition songs, 'The Weak
Backbone" eliciting mirth and furnish
! ing food for thought.
There was silver medal contest held
in the opening, there being FIVE contes
tants, all of whom acquitted themselves
well. Carl Stoudemire was the winner
Of the silver medal, which was present,
ed in very happy manner by Mr.. Nor
rell.-The State.
