Expensive Agitation.

From Lawrenceville News-Heral.
This agitation has cost the farmers
from $40 to SIS per bale on their
cotton, and it is useless to deny it to
sensible men.
How can confidence be restored?
Simply by RELOCATING to private life
every man who contributed to this
great disaster. The defeat of Hoke
Smith will have beneficial influence
all over the country, as it will voice
the will of the people of the leading
southern states in favor of a return
to sanity and conservatism, and be
notice to capitalists that they repudi-
ate this demagogic attempt at contis-
cation, and that their money will
md ample protection here.
On the other hand, his renomina-
ton would be an approval of his dis
astrous and revolutionary policies,
and have much influence in continu-
ing present conditions. In its last
analysis this is a fight between IL

TOM WATSON STIRS EN- UP
The Noted Georgian Takes Few
Cracks at Hoke and Guyt-The
Campaign in Georgia.

Campaign in Georgia.
Tom Watson in The Jeffersonian.
We wonder whether Hoke Smith
is really making many votes by ridi-
culing Joe Browns personal appear
ance and denouncing his father. We
doubt it. Few men antagonized the
late Joseph Z. Brown more bitterly
than did this writer, but we should
consider it unfair to attack the son
because of the public record of the
father, just as we think it unfair for
any opponent of Hoke Smith to make
capital out of the fact that Hoke
Smiths father is New Highlander.
Why drag the old folks into the
scrimmage? Why not let old Mr..
Brown and old Mr.. Smith rest in
peace?
A very serious blunder, perhaps,
is Hoke's constant nagging at Lit
tie Joe" about his personal appear
ance How can any man help his
looks? We cant all be magnificent
specimens of manly grace and beauty
as HOke is, however, much we'd like
to be. Comparatively few are so opu-
lently endowed with the destinations
of the Apollo Belvidere-as is our
gigantic Hoke Most mortals must of
necessity worry along with such mugs
and figures as the good God chose to
give US. Some of us are only mid
din, when 1t comes to looks, and
some of us are real homely, and some
of us are as ugly as the devil.
Now, when Hoke, a resplendent
type of the human form divine, tow
ers before an audience and says, in
effect:
Look at me and you will then I'M
derstand why, if you saw Joe Brown,
you would not vote for him"
He makes thrust that isn't fair,
and which may prove hurtful to him
self. Little Alec" Stephens wasn't
much to look at; nor was jefferson
Davis, nor Little Joe" Wheeler.
Is it true, as stated in The Geor-
gian, that the Atlanta Journal,
Hoke's organ, refused to publish
Little Joe's' statement to the peo-
pie of Georgia until he agreed to pay
about $12O for it?
If so, it is but another proof of the
fact that unfair methods always hurt
those who use them. Having pub
lished Hoke's announcement free the
Journal should have published
Browns free.
The people of Georgia love a fair
fight, and they generally sympathiZe
with the man who is not given an
equal showing.
Judge Hines, attorney to our en-
larged and high-priced railroad COM
mission, has been out on the stump
making speeches for our absentee
governor.
The Judge is a mighty good law
yer, and knows how to make good
speech on mighty poor case.
Here is a conundrum:
How many months during the year
could we afford to leave the office of
governor without tenant?
Here's another:
If the state really needs no more
of the governors time than it is now
getting why should it pay him for
more?
And here's one more:
If Governor Smith wasn't sincere
in that matter of the early primary
why did he make such positive prom
Uses about it in the last campaign;
and il he was sincere why did he
flop?

Many Manning people take their

Kidney Pills. Here is a Manning citi-
zen's recommendation.

it very difficult to dress myself. II sat
down for little while I could hardly

a long time without finding a remedy
that would help me until procured
Doan's Kidney Pills. I used but one
box when the pains were oanlshed and
the lameness and soreness disappeared.
I do not have to get up nights to pass

Some Historical Errors Corrected.

To the Editor OF THE MANNING

the "Son of Abraham for his beauti-
ful tribute to the Rev. James Mcdowell,
which recently appeared in The NAN

historical errors made by this beauti-
full writer. The Rev. James Mcdowell,
after preaching in Charleston in 1856 or
1857. was called by Concord and Claren.
don churches, and installed as pastor OF
the two churches at Concord. After
wards Harmony's whole congregation,
which had become weak on account OF
account of the emigration OF many OF
it's most Influential members to South
west Georgia, joined the Clarendon
Presbyterian Church, which had but
FIVE members, as follows: Jos. S. Nc
Faddin, Capt. and Mrs. Joseph Burgess,
Mrs. Harriet B. Hodge, and Miss
Annie Lloyd The two male members
were the elders. Then the church mem
bership moved to Manning and built the
Manning Presbyterian Church in 1855.
Our beautiful writer has made one
other little error when he says the 9th
regiment was known as the "sharp-
Shooters" The 9th regiment reorgan-
lied with John Bratton as colonel in
which there was company from the
Salem section of Clarendon County, COM
manded by Capt. William Brand-the
only company from Clarendon that fol-
lowed the peerless Lee from start to
finish. It fought from the battle OF Will
'liamsburg and surrendered at Appoma-
tox under Capt. William Brand. The
Manning Guards were made cavalry in
1864, and consequently missed the cam
paign from the battle of the Wilderness
to Cold Harbor and from thence to Pet
ersbura, and the engagements surround
ing.
The sharpshooters were organized
with twelve companies, perhaps the
largest regiment in the Confederate
army, by that peerless, knightly, Chris
tian commander, Micah jenkins, who
afterwards was made brigadier general
and was killed at the battle OF the Will
derness by his own men through error

Gen. Micah jenkins commanded FIVE
South Carolina regiments: The first and
Second Rifles, the 5th regiment, 9th

best drilled and disciplined by Lees
army.

In Memory of Harold MeFaddi1.

In the dawn of life's bright morning,
When the heart beat high with Joy,
When the days were filled with pleas
ureS
That can come but to a boy.
When the step was quick, elastic,
And the heart was glad and free
And the future full of promise
AS it for a boy can be.
Lived sweet Harold, and his living
Was a JOY beyond compare,
Was dear and precious blessing
To the home that held him dear.
But one day there came shadow
Thick and dark across that home,
When he heard the angels whisper
From across the borders, Come
He was staying with a school mate
On that awful fatal day
When a shot came unintended.
Twas out simple boyish play.
Yet it struck our little Harold
And his precious life blood flowed,
Quickly paled his cheek with suffering
That with health and life had glowed
And he died as died the Master,
Not word of fault he found
With the one that thus had given
Unto him his mortal wound.
O, the Anguish and the sorrow,
Thus to see his tender heart
Cease its beating and his spirit
From the earth so quick depart.
We have missed our darling Harold
Since he went to sleep that night,
We have never been as happy
And the World is not so bright.
AS it was when we could see him
And could hear his happy voice,
But we hope again to meet him
And with angels to rejoice.
In that home where never sorrow
Comes, nor ever comes pain,
There TO dwell in bliss forever,
We shall never part again.
