Many Of the trees are loaded down
with apples. while others have but
few. so that the average is not full
crop. The size of tho apples are
smaller than last year. 1t is believed
that the crop this year will produce
as much revenue as before. owing to
the higher prices. This orchard is
very near the city, and Is cared for un-
der modern regulations. The orchard is
sprayed four or five times n year. and
is otherwise looked after and pro-
tected. The fact that it produces a
great deal of fruit while other orchards
in this section fail is an evidence of the
advantage OF the spraying and other
care. This orchard is owned by Fred
Robinson. but is leased by W. d. Pey
ton, of Stafford County.

Baltimore, September IG-Woman's
suffrage received an awful Jolt o-dav
at the hands of Maryland Democrats.
VINO gathered In State convention here
to-day. 1T was the general Impression
that the party would insert an equal
suffrage plank in its PLATFORM, and for
mer State Senator a. +. German was
the champion selected to carry through
the deal. Women fiockcd to the audi
forum. where the convention was held
end pinned buttons on the coats of
delegates and distributed literature
galore. Then they took seats in the
private boxes and warted for the COM
mittee on resolutions to report After
the platform had been read it was dis
covered that not a word had been said
about woman suffrage. The fight had
been carried on in the committee room,
and German lost by vote OF 81 to G.
German also favored the initiative
and referendum plank, and this met a
similar defeat. Blair Lee, who has
been selected by President Wilson to
lead the Progressive Democrats in
Maryland, but who made sorry show
ing ut tho primaries last week was
nominated for United States Senator
for the reason that the organization
Democrats had no candidate for that

both North and South, a
greater sensation.

The way the press is throwing
up it's hat and hurrahing for Till
man Since he replied to the New
Yorker, the great metropolis is
the popular dog for politicians
to kick. All a politician has to
do these days for popular ac'
clam, is to say something strong
against Wall Street and til e
methods of the New York bank
ers. But all politicians cannot
play this stunt as effectively as
Tillman. none of his imitators
have been able to inpress the
public as has been fully demon
strated in this State whenever it
was attempted. We recall the
utter failure Of brilliant young
man who attempted to win his
way to political heights by
adopting the Tillmanesque style
of oratory and mannerism; when
the act was played by Tillman it
carried his audiences off their
feet with enthusiasm, but his
imitator's efforts we're received
as chesnuts.

THE CONFERENCE.

The Conference for the Com
mon Good in South Carolina
should bring results in anumber
of ways. When a people prompt
ed by patriotic motives assemble
to devise a ways and a means
for the betterment of the public
welfare, it must leave a mark
that will not be obscured. 1t
was our misfortune that We
could not attend this gathering,
but we have kept up with it's
deliberations from start to finish
and we feel sure if the movln g
spirits will continue their efforts,
great good will result therefrom.
Just as soon as the masses real
ize there is a movement on foot
to put the people, regardless of
vocation. in line with the other
progressive States of the Union,
they will become interested and
take an active part also. The
only danger from agitations Of
this kind is letting the object Of
their intentions get away from
| it's real purpose. to crafty the
ambition of individuals. If the
LEADERS of this movement can
prevent diversion, and keep to
the track of unselfsh uplifting
the movement will be fruitful Of
good.
The conference has sown seed
which should bear valuable fruit
in all endeavors. there should
be an advancement in educatlon,
marketing of farm products,
diversifcation of crops, COM
munity betterment. law and re-
spect for law, and all of the
other subjects discussed by those
who participated IN the proceed
ings. AS the outcropping from
this State conference there will
no doubt be county and town
ship conferences, and from these
will the greatest good be accom-
plished, these will bring the
purposes nearer home to those
who should become a part Of the
work, and as it comes nearer to
the individual the more inter
esting and valuable will it ap-
pear. In the Western States for
a number of years past commu'
nifty conferences have become
permanent institutions, and it is
through them much of the pro:
gress is attributed; instead. OF
wasting valuable time in po
litical dissensions the people
of the Western States assem-
BILE at stated periods to take
stock as it were, and to seek
information whereby they can
Improve upon their methods.
The same can be done in this
State, and we have no doubt but
it will be done as the outcome OF
the recent conference.
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1913-08-13

The New York general assem-
bly, has been investigating GER
tain charges against Governor
Sulzer relating to campaign con-
tributions, and the disposition
hereof, and it has attracted the
attention of the entire country,
because Of the national character
|of the accused governor. Cover
nor Sulzer was prominent mem
Der of Congress for a number of
years. aud in the last election he
led the Democracy of the Empire
state to victory. Among his first
acts as governor was to break
with Tammany, and ever since
then he has had up hill work
with the majority leaders in the
general assembly. The Frawley
committee charged with the in
vestigation has made a report
recommending Impeachment pro-
ceedings, and its looks like there
is a strong probability of the
governor Of the great State Of
New York being hurled from Of
fee by the members Of his own
party who have the majority
vote in the assembly.

According to correspondence
between the State treasurer and
the governor the treasury is
running short. and money is
needed to pay the expenses, here:
tofore the banks have loaned
money at 81 per cent, but this
year they want 5 per cent which
the governor does not wish to
pay. He suggests that each
department carry its own otlce
until taxes are collected and
thereby save to the taxpayers the
rate Of interest demanded. 1t is
doubtful if the governors sug-
gestion is practical, because the
heads of the departments are
not men of sufficient means to
finance their departments until
taxes are collected, and If they
attempted to do so they would
have to borrow the money from
the banks and pay the interest
out of their own pockets.

DENIAL UNNECESSARY.

Last WEDNESDAY the News and
Courier carried a Washington
dispatch to the effect that Gov,
ernor Blease was not going tc
be a candidate for the United
States Senate. but would go be,
fore the people and ask for a
third term as Governor. The
Governor, when asked about it,
seemed to take it more seriously
than was supposed by US he
would, because, when the re-
porter went to him to find out
if he had seen the story he said
he had and proceeded to de-
nounce it as lone Of the many
newspaper lies. ~
Did the governor refuse to lei
his adversar!es taunt him he
would fare better, the Washing
ton despatch about his wanting
=, third term did not find any
odgement in the minds of those
Who know anything at all about
political affairs in this State.
everybody knows full well there
has never been a man so popular
as to be able to be governor
three times in succession, and
we have no information that II
was ever tried, so well is this
unwritten law recognized.
The governor appears sanguine
of being elected to the Senate te
succeed the present junior Sen
ator, and he may have good rea
sons for the faith that is in him
but many things can happen be
tween now and the next pri
mary, and there is no telling
what the result will be; Con
gressman Lever is also thinking
about getting into the senatorial
contest. and if he does, there Is
no doubt but that his entry will
spoil some of the present calcu
lations, others, once the door is
open, may throw their hats into
the ring, and complicate the
situation, therefore, we say it is
altogether too early to make
anything like a prediction as tt
who will succeed the junior Sen
ator. But what we started ont tt
say was not whowould or woulc
not be senator, but to caution
the governor against permitting
himself to make statements
based upon what a newspaper
correspondent at Washington OF
elsewhere might wish to give
out as rumor, and especially
when third term stuff is sen
out, it does not have to be denied

WE THOUGHT EXPENSES WAS PROVIDED
E0P

When we read in the daily
papers the refusal Of the Comp
troller General to honor the
claim of the Attorney General
for expenses in connection with
the recent convention of Attor-
neys General from the several
States which met in Charleston,
upon an invitation extended by
former Attorney General Lyon.
we were under the impression
an appropriation of $4,000 had
been made for expenses, but
since the receipt cf the Comp
troller's letter We have looked up
the appropriation Act, and find it
allows the Attorney General ito
use as much as $4,000 to pay
actual expenses in attending the
convention of Attorneys General
of the different States annually"
If the Comptroller General is
charged with passing upon
claims from his brother State
officials before he can issue a
warrant, then perhaps he has
the right to construe the law,
and say whether or not, the At
torney Generals claim was
within the meaning of the Sex
penses mentioned in the Act:
from which construction an ap.
peal could be taken. We char
acterized the matter as ''picay-
rnish" because the claim was
for ''expenses" in connection
with the convention and the
amount thereof was small.
With regard The Times claim
for publishing notices, will say
it is far fetched to connect it
with the editorial referee, to,
but it has been mentioned; We
did make our claim as we
thought according to law, count
ing the words, figures and pune
tuations, but when we presented
it, we directed attention to the
way it was made out, and when
told the punctuations would not
be allowed, the claim was turn
ed over to the Chief Clerk in
the Comptroller's Office, and he
prepared the warrant in accord
ance with his count; the last
claim presented by The Times
was made out IN blank and left
with him to count and mail war
rant.
The Times editor has nc
crouch against the Comptroller
and appreciates the hard work
there is in his Office. He has
often expressed surprise alta mar

to hold the Office. when he could
command a much larger salary
in other fields with less harass

The dispatches from Albany,
N. Y, with regard to the matter
of impeaching Governor Sui
zer this morning look bad for
His Excellency. The most sen
satlonal feature is the alleged
statement of Mrs. Sulzer that it
was she who used the campaign
funds to speculate in Wall Street
without the knowledge of her
husband, the governor. At this
distance thinks look dark and
dreary for the governor, and it
would not surprise US in the
least if he resigns, although his
friends claim he will fight it out.
