A STRIKE AT TIE MASSES.

We note from the reports Of
the county conventions held
throughout the State, an element
has crept into them who are seek.
ing to deprive many white Dem
ocrats of the privilege Of voting,
by making requirements that
they calculate will not be COM
piled with by a large element Of
the people, who have something
else 10 do besides playing poll
tics. In some Of the counties res
oiut;ons were adopted to change
the party rules SO as to make it
a requisite to vote in the primary,
the presentation of a registration
certificate, just as IS now reoulr-
ed of the negro in the general
election. The primary system was
,naugurated to give every white
man the privilege Of expressing
his choice without any further
restriction than to have his name
enrolled upon a Democratic club.
We have been getting on nicely
by this time-honored plan and, we
cannot see a just reason for a
change. What can it be for: Is
it to eliminate from the primary
a large element Of white men
whose vote cannot oe controlled,
whose time belong to others, and
who cannot, without fear Of los.
ing their employment, lose the
time to get the registration GER
ti6cates?: Is it the purpose to con-
fine the voting privilege to Sc
lect few? There Is too much Of
this encroachment upon the lib.
critics of the masses, and the worm
will turn if there is not a halt. We
regard the resolutions as direct
attempt to gradually throttle the
rights o. the people, they are
trying to contine the vote TO the
few, by means they dare not at
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1910-05-04

tempt boldly, but they hope TO
accomplish the result by degrees.
Let our primary rules, SO far as
they relate to the voting prlvil-
ege alone. We want every white
Democrat to vote in the primary
withoutany restriction whatever.
There are several changes in the
party rules that can be made
which Will improve them, but the
voting requirement is not one OF
them, and we hope the State con-
vention will vote down any effort
or proposition which looks to the
restricting Of the white mans S
vote.

The newspapers all over the
country are now saying about the
junior senator of South Carolina,
Il told you so. all of them knew
that Smith would make good.
Within the past few days Sena
tor Smith has loomed up in Won
derful proportions and has made
himself felt as a man Of force in
that distinguished body, Senator
Smith has a double duty upon
him now, since the senior senator
isdetained from attendance on the
senate because of sickness, and
be is bearing his duties we'll.

THERE MAY BE MORE.

The coming primary will be
full ofsurprises We believe. There
are several candidates for COVER
nor, those so far announced are
men who have been in politics
for years. and there is a probab-
ility of one more announcement
in the near future Of a man who
has not figured in politics, in the
way of being a seeker for Office,
but be is well known throughout
the State and has the reputation
of being one Of the best and most
successful business men in the
State. We refer to F. H. Hyatt.
tie man who has been agitating
the good roads question these
many years, and was one OF the
original founders of the cotton as
sociat.ou in this State. Mr.. Hyatt
is no politician, out if he does con.
sent to enter the race for COVER.
nor, his candidacy will appeal to
many who believe there is too
much politics and not enough
business in the administration Of
the affairs Of the State govern
ment. The writer does rot wish
to be understood to be partisan
of Mr. Hyatt, the fact is he ex-
poets to support Hon. Thomas G.
Mcleod. but at the same time he
has the fairness to say that there
is good ground for the reasons
set forth by the friends OF Mr..
Hyatt why the head of the gov
ernment should be a business
first. and a politician last. ltwou!d
surprise US very much If Mr..
Hyatt does not make ! most for
midable candidate should his
friends persuade him to get into
the fight. We believe there is
room for entries, the fight is not
won to any man by any means,
when the entries are all IL and
the nominations have been clos
ed, the framing up will begin,
then and cnly then, can calcu!a-
tions be made which will be worth
consideration: at the present time
the prize is not at all cinched and
in our humble opinion, if a certain
preacher does not stay at home
and he continues to crack the
whip he will injure the man he is
advocating tor governor. The
people resent bossism and they
will not stand for it whether it
comes from preacher or the
common political heeler. Col.
FeathersS0ne is regarded by some
to be the logical candidate OF the
Prohibitionist, there is no auth
ority for this assumption, but If
Mr.. Hyatt or any other Prohibi.
zionist desires to go into the race
he should not be threatened by
the anti saloon leagues ardent
chief.

construction of a sea wall at owen
fark, respectfully report that we have
had the matter under consideration and
beg leave to state that il is absolutely
necessary and essential that sea wall
be constructed from owen dock to the
westerly line of owen Park, and this
will require certain amount OF back
filing to be done. Your Committee
have taken the matter UP with the
Controller and are satisfied that the ex-
pense OF construction is proper charge
against the Contingent Fund. and fur
thermore, that II the work is done at
this time a considerable saving will be
enccted the city. In view thereof,
your Committee directed the Commits
sIoner of Parks and Boulevards to ad-
vertise for proposals in order that we
might know the exact amount OF
money that would be required. Ane
estimate was $4,000. but the lowest bid
was but $2S97 co. and the Commissioner
being satisfied that same Is reasonable,
we recommend the adoption OF the fol-
