DUAL GOVERNMENT
THREE MONTHS.
The dual governmentthus con
tinued for weeks, in fact, until
in the spring. The property
owners of the State refused to
pay taxes to the republicans, and
the democratic state officers col
lected taxes to conduct the gov
ernment.
Gov. Hampton was advised by
committee of men from other
states including Bradley T. John
ston, of Maryland, and John B:
Gordon, of Georgia, who had
been distinguished as brigadier
generalsip the Confederate army.
There was a great legal battle
fought out in Washington and
finally the new president. Ruth
erford B. Hayes. seeing the per
secution of the white people OF
the State and realizing the just
ness of the claim Of the Hampton
administration, decided to with
draw the troops from the State
and with that act collapsed the
Chamberlain administration.
Governor Hampton had made
his first demand for the Office up
on Chamberlain on the 18th Of
December, and on the 18th OF
April succeeding he sent his pri'
vate secretary, the late Col.
Wade Hampton Manning, with
demand for the Office. Having
no soldiers to back him up, Cham
berlain decided to abdicate.
The writer has been privileged
to hear most of the above from
General Hampton himself, from
Mr.. Wade Hampton Manning,
from General Gordon, from Gen.
Bradley T. johnson, when on a
visit to Columbia some eight
years ago, and from 9th ers'

DABBs NOT ENTHUSIASTIC.

Mr.. E. W. Dabbs, President Of
the State Farmers Union, is not
very jubilant over the govern.
ment's scheme to loan banks in
the south and west $50, 900, 600
at two per cent. He thinks the
banks, and not the farmers, would
reap the profit. The banks will
get the money at two per cent,
loan it to the country banks at a
profit, and then the banks the
farmer comes in contact with will
require the same rate of eight per
cent discount, which amounts to
nearly nine per cent. Unless the
governmentputs in a requirement
that the rate of interest to be
charged the borrower shall not
exceed say five eper cent, there will
be no immediate benefit to the
farmer from this great sum of
money which is to be placed in
the national banks, ostensibly to
help the farmer, but really the
profit goes to the banks. MIR.
Dabbs advises against rushing
cotton on the market, but our
observation is the farmer who
gathers his cotton, gins it, and
markets quick usually comes out
ahead of the game. There have
been years the holding of cotton
did some good, but whether it
paid the farmer in the end we do
not know. We should not advise
the holding of early cotton, that
which is being gathered now, the
loss in weight Will be more than
the rise in price. Later, perhaps
it may pay to hold and warehouse
cotton, it all depends upon the
price, if the price is above II
cents we do not believe it will
pay to hold.

Kidney Diseases Are Too Dangerous
For Manning People to Neglect.

The great danger Of kidney troubles

IS PROHIBITION WANINGs

The elections recently held on
the liquor qustion has opened
up a discussion of whether or
not the prohibition sentiment is
on the wane. We do not agree
with those who think the cleo
tlons indicated a loss of strength
on the part of the prohibition
cause, but we are inclined to be-
lieve the closeness Of the vote
was due mostly to confidence
growing out Of the tremendous
majority given to the prohlbl-
ton cause when the dispensarles
were voted out. The vote was
light in all Of the counties ex-
cept Abbeviile: and even in that
county there was not anything
like a full vote. showing clearly
to ou, mind that both prohibi
tionists and dispensarites did
not manifest much interest; the
prohibs felt secure, and the dis
pensary advocates thought there
was no chance. However, If the
elections, did indicate a change
of sentiment in favor of legal
sale, will it be the part of wisdom
on the part of the prohibition
lists to attempt to urge liquor
legislation at the next session:
Under the Webb Act there is
no doubt real prohibition can be
had, in fact, it will be so dry
that it will be almost impossible
to procure any alcoholic stimu-
lent at all, for sickness or for
anything else, if the legislature
euacts a law to conform with this
Webb Act of congress will the
people endorse it? There are a
great many who vote prohibition
that want liquor removed from
the other fellow, and when it is
removed they proceed to nave
themselves supplied, in case the
legislature should bring on a
condition that the seif-assumine
guardians of other peoples hab'
its would also be deprived to gel
a Little for the stomach sake.

South Cardinals share of the
money distribution which Secre-

This should be of great help in
making money easy for those
who have the collateral, and if
there is anything in the princi-
pie of supply and demand it
seems to as that the supply be,
ing plentiful the rate Of interest
should be lessened to those who

no indications of those who con

Judge Alton B. Parker, once
the nominee of the Democratic
party for President has been
retained to prosecute the charges
against Gov. William Sulzer
who was recently impeached by
the general assembly of New
York. The newspapers and the
politicians friendly to Sulzer are
unsparing IN their criticism of
Judge Parker for accepting the
position of prosecutor in this
case, Judge Parker is practic-
ing law, and We have no doubt
but that his serxices could have
been employed for the defence
had not the other side reached
him first with a satisfactory fee.

This shall be the course I shall

REPEAL TIE PRESENT LAW.

The recent, elections in several
counties in this State on a num-
Der of questions-dispensary
school district tax ievies, bond
issues for Improvements and
other matters for which special
elections were ordered, has
demonstrated the need for leg
isiative action to correct and
remedy the present poor system
of registration of voters. Some,
thing must be done, or 1t will
bring on untold trouble-men
will not take kindly to their be-
ing refused to vote when they
feel they are qualified under the
law to exercise this privilege,
and are rejected because of some
technical objection, possibly the
fault of the registration officer,
IN not recording the name upon
the books, although having is
sued the certificate, or because
the name is spelled wrong, or
that the number of the certificate
did not compare with the mum
Der on the book.
Z It is our opinion there can be
no amendment to- the present
law which can remedy the trou-
BILE, the only way we can have a
proper registration is to abolish
the present system entirely and
get up a new one; if this is done
It should carry with it the nuIli-
fying of all certificates already
issued, and a bran new registra'
ton made, this new registration
to be good for a limited period,
say. four years, and, at the end Of
that time, have another general
registration, and so on every
four years, but for every special
election require . registration
for that particular election.
The registration books all
over the State are SO badly mud
died by Implications, and omis'
sions that it is next to impossi'
bic to get accurate information
from them, many men are regis
tered more than once. and some
not at all, even some who are
in possession certificates theil
names cannot be found on the
books. There are number o5
reasons for this condition need
less to mention here, but as il
now seems to be the purpose te
hold the special elections down
to the letter Of the law, and
since the new amendment to the
United States constitution for a
5 direct election Of United States
Senators, in order to prevent
confusion and a possible inter
ference by the federal govern
menS with our primaries ano
general elections, we think one
of the most important Acts fol
the legislature is for a new reg
istration.

MeIsuafs SAYS REPORT IS FALSE.

Certain newspapers have re-
Gently published a statement to
the effect that in the interest o.
Senator McLaurin's candidacy
for governor Col. Leon M.
Green viii establish a. press
bureau in Columbia, when we
saw this statement we wonder
ed what it was based upon,
but it seems that it h a d
nothing more than Imagination,
as both Senator McLaurin and
Col. Green say it is false. Nc
Laurin has never said that be
would be in the race for COVER
nor. Notwithstanding the many
calls upon him for such an ex.
preston. Those who will like
~ oppose him, should he enter
the race, seem to want to create
a sentiment against him before
he starts. they evidently must
think him a. strong factor, al
though they will not admit it..
McLaurin is not a favorite with
the politicians of the present
regime or the previous regimes.
He would not stay hltched by
them, whenever he differed with
their views he did not fail toilet
them know it, and for that rea-
son he is not popular with those
who are in control of the politics
of the State, therefore if he
should undertake the race he
would have to depend entirely
upon the independent thinking
voters, those who are not tied to
factional sentiment, but who
really desire to do what Shey
can for the general welfare. We
do not know whether McLaurin
will enter the race or not, no in.
timation from him has come to
US regarding the matter, but we
have heard expressions from a
number of people who would
like to see a man of McLaurin's
calibre IN the executive chair.
As we said last week, there are
a number Of good men mention
ed for the honor. how many Of
them will stay in to enter the
race next year we do not know.
but if all of them go in, the peo.
pie will have good material to
select from.

SKETCH OF MOVEMENT
Southern Baptists Endorse laymen's
Missionary Movement in Rich
mond. Va, In 1907.

Southern Baptists endorsed the Lay
mems Movement at the meeting of
their convention in Richmond, Va, in
May, 1907. An executive committee ol
nine men was appointed with j. Harry
Tyler as chairman, and Baltimore as
headquarters. After months of search
ing for a secretary the committee Sc
cured the services of J. 4. Henderson.
of Virginia, for part of his time.
The movement has gained consider
able Roadway among Southern Bap'
lists: the different states have corr
mittees more or less active and hun
dreds of association and churches
have committees to press the princi-
ples of this movement. South Caro-
lima has a salaried secretary. Scores
of men are recognizing the obligation
OF stewardship and are heartily giyin@
valuable time, thought and service as
well as money to the propagation OF
the gospel.
The great convention to be held in
Chattanooga will add new impetus to
this movement among Southern IL =.

The speakers are to be among the
ablest on the continent. President S.
