if there is a candidate in the race
who will admit that he is swing

is their a man in the race

ever attempted to swing on
any mans coat tail, now or at

people have excellent n -orial

The first reports from Ala
bama indicated that Oscar I'm
derwood defeated Richmond P.
Hobson for the United States
Senate by a large majority.
Hobson made his campaign
largely on the prohibition issue,
and it is thought that this con.
tributed greatly to his defeat.
But in our opinion. his defeat
may be attributed to the small
calibre of the man rather than
to his position on the liquor
question. Underwood is a states.
man of high order, and while he
does not agree with the Presi'
dent on tie tolls exemption, and
did his best to defeat the repeal
as recommended by President
Wilson, the people of Alabama
prefer Underwood with his inde-
pendence, to Hobson with his
fads and indiosy cracies.

just as is required now to vote
in the general election-that is
to say, required of negroes.
Notwithstanding the fact that
our contemporary thinks our
position ''absurd" and that the
present system is an "offence to
decency'' we beg leave to differ,
and to continue to ''rally the
clans to it's Defence" because
we believe, regardless Of faction
al differences on other questions,
the masses are agreed in the de-
sire to maintain their voting
privileges just as they have en-
loved since the establishment Of
the primary system.
The abolishing Of the county
to-county meetings can have no
other effect than to cause a lack
of interest in the primary, only
to be followed a little later
by the old time conven-
ton system, then when that
comes into vogue, instead
of the people as a whole ex-
pressing their choice as they do
at present after seeing and hear
ing the candidates, a few men
around and in the court house,
together with the newspapers
would have full control of our
political affairs. Should that
time ever come, a candidate for
public Office will have tc ''step
up to the Captains office" with
his hat in his hand and beg for
his favor.
No, we. shall never consent to
centralize this power in the
newspapers and take it away
from the masses where it
rightfully belongs, they arr the
taxpayers, and they are mol ally
and legally entitled to make
their own selections for the
Offices provided for by law, and
supported by their taxes.

LET US SHOW THEM MAN
MING IS on THE MAP.

The Times editor received a
letter from the Secretary Of the
Chamber of Commerce of Char
lesion, which he publishes in
another column, and to which
he would direct the special at
tention of Clarendon's business
men, These gentlemen are to
tour this state and North Caro-
lima in the business interests of
Charleston's great port, and we
sincerely hope when the train
rolls in at Manning, they will be
sreeted by a delegation of Clar-
endon's business men, and, they
will be brought to the court
house in automobiles to be well
come by the merchants and other
business men of this county. AS
will be noted the party entour is
composed of about fifty business
men, they are accompanied by
Metz famous band and they will
arrive in Manning at 8:20 on the
morning of the 28th inst, and
will remain here about thirty
minutes, this will give them time
to deliver their message, at the
same time have an opportunity
to see one of the best and pref
tiest towns in eastern South Car.
olina. We take the liberty of
suggesting to all owners of au-
tomoblles to be at the station
with their machines, to bring
the visitors to the court house,
and we would also suggest that
after the arrival OF the train,
and the visitors are brought up
to the court house, all of the
stores close and everybody at
tend the meeting.
This is no frolic these gentle
men ar engaged in, they are
ors to advertise the advantages
of Charleston as a port, and the
benefits to be derived to this
section from the Panama canal;
they are also engaged in the
work of trying to get better
freight rates, a matter in which
every business man IN this town
and the surrounding country is
7itally interested in. 1t would be
nice to have a large escort for
these gentlemen, and we would
suggest that Mayor Bradham
call a meeting, appoint a com
mittee to be at the depot, and
also to ask the owners Of auto
mobiles to assist in the greeting
of our Charleston neighbors.

THE TOLLS WAR RACES IN TIE SENATE

The Panama tolls discussion is
now before the senate. Presl-
dent Wilson won out in the low
er house, and he may do so in
the senate, but he nor Secretary
Bryan are so certain, both OF
them are having daily confer
ences with the senators to stand
by the president in this fight.
Mr.. Bryan kept hands off when
the Sims bill was in the house,
but he must see there is danger
of the administration getting a
setback, and he has thrown of
his coat to work for the passage
of the bill.
It must not be taken because
the president is urging the re-
peal of the tolls exemption act
that it is a party measure, it is
not, and it is not so considered by
the lawmakers in Washington,
but should the president finally
win, the democratic newspapers,
especially of the South, will
claim it a victory for the Demo-
cratic party, but to those of US
who have kept up with the fight
this claim will not go, because.
some of the most prominent
republicans, such men as Elihu
Root, are with the president and
were 1t not for them, with the
present division in the demo
cratic ranks the measure would
be doomed.
We believe the senate will
stand by the president in nulli-
flying a declaration Of the demo
cratic party, a pledge to the
people in it's platform, whether
this will have any future bearing
on the party can only be con-
iectured at this time, but this
much is certain, the people will
not listen patiently to certain
leaders when they insist upon
the sacredness of a party decla-

The News and Courier asks.
"Has the Senator from Claren-
don found the spring for which
Ponce De Leon searched in
vain?" Not exactly, but he has
found the spring which has
made Milwaukee famous, and
he does not mind telling his
brother editor where it is either.
The spring can be found in
we'll shaded spots between Line
street and the ''Botry."

The recent order of Secretary
of the Navy Daniels prohibiting
the use of intoxicants on ship
board and at navy yards will no
doubt be embarrassing to many
of the old tars, but we believe
they should be treated the same
as the men behind the guns, and
as they are forbidden the use of
intoxicants while on duty, the
officers have no right to CON-
plain.

MeLAuRIN TO THE PEOPLE.

Bennettsville, March 23, 1914.

End. Compulsory school laws.
3rd. The Fortner Bill.

5th. Bleaseism $50 called.)
On most of these issues I made
up my mind after careful
thought when it seemed quite
unlikely that I would be a can
idate for public Office. I am no
trimmer and am ready to take an
uneouivocal stand on the issues.
I have no illusions as to public
life and the burden Of a campaign
in the torrid summer heat would
deter me, if I did not feel that l
could render South Carolina val.
liable service in the governors
Office. If the people think so,
they will put me there, and if
they do not, l have discharged
what feel to be a duty [ owe
myself and the friends who have
sopersistently urged me forward.
My record in the legislature is
against the compulsory educa-
ton measure known as the Law
son. McCravy bill, I am not op-
posed to it on principle, and the
time may come in South Caro-
lima, when a policy of compul-
sorry education is proper, but it
is not now. The funds available
for common school purposes are
not sufficient to properly equip
and maintain schools in exist
ence. AS a rule they now hove
more scholars than can be &C.
commodated, 1t seems to me
that we had first best take care
of these schools and the pupils
who appear voluntarily, before
beating the highways and hedges
to bring in more. The right to
take one mans money to educate
another mans child is based on
the necessity OF having an intell-
igent electorate to maintain civ
ilized government. If this be
true the common schools are for
the many, the colleges for the
few. I think that we have fost-
cred higher education at the ex.
pense of the common schools. I
am in favor Of maintaining the
colleges, but building more
school houses before enlarging
our present state colleges.
In 1890, our common school
system was very poos as compar.
ed with what we now have. If
7 were to venture a criticism, it
would be that we need more
teachers who rea lily teach.

SUMTER CLUB TO BOOST MANNING.

Inc followers OIL dOu. ISlCll-
ard 1. Manning of Sumter, have
organized a Manning club for
the purpose of boosting him for
governor, at their initial meet
ing in Sumter Monday night a
committee was dispatched to Mr..
Manning's home to bring him
out for a speech. Mr.. Manning
responded outlining his cam
paign and his remarks were re-
ceived with enthusiasm But
there are other candidates in the
race for gubernatorial honors,
each and every one of them feel
confident Of being selected by
the majority; the people are ex-
ceedingly fortunate this year in
having good material, aud a
plenty of it: to select from,
therefore, there is . need to
grow red in the face when dis
cussing the qualifications of any
of them. Mr.. Manning has been
before the people before, and we
have no doubt if he fails of elec-
ton this time, he will be before
the people again. Just what
effect the organization of clubs
to boost a candidate will have
on the voting masses remains to
be seen; it is our opinion: the
cheers and the noise manufac-
tured at the county seats for a
candidate, will go but a little way
towards securing a sufficient
number of votes to seat him in
the executive chair. It takes
something which appeals to the
Judgment Of the masses, and the
masses are not usually attracted
by buttons, badges, and hot air
artists.
In his reported speech, Mr..
Manning believes ''that the
small land holder in the country
or town should be exempt from
taxes. in order to encourage
home building and the owner.
ship of their homes by the poor.
We heartily agree with Mr..
Manning's solicltude to have
the poor man exempted from
taxation, and place the burden
of government upon the large
property owner, in other words,
relieve the poor and make the
rich pay, but it is an impossible
theory, and no one should know
this better than Mr.. Manning.
However, such a platform would
furnish scne material to enter
tain the masses at campaign
meetings, and IN years gone by,
before the adoption of the free
school system, it is possible such
an enticing theory would have
made the boys throw their hats
into the air and hurrah for the
speaker. Should MIR, Mannlng's
poor mans exemption idea be
possible, South Carolina would
be the most poverty stricken
State in the union, everybody
would plead poverty, and every
body would ask to be exempt
fran taxation, as it is, the poor
pay in proportion to what they
possess. their property is visa
ble, and easy to reach by the tax
gatherer, but the rich, with their
hidden wealth: invested in all
manner of ways, escape the tax
gatherer. thus forcing the bur-
den of taxation upon those less
fortunate.
We rather like the ring of Mr..
Manning's declaration when he

There has never been a time
in the history of our state when
good policy, charity and toler'
ance were more needed than
flow. Since 1890, we have had
two political factions, more bit
terly hostile than exists between
parties in other states.
The movement in 1890 wSe

His associations would have brutalized
him. made him a fit denizen of those
wilds, turned him also into a savage,
but for one thing-he was a fervent
Catholic. 1t was this which kept him
ever gentle, sweet and strong. He
possessed the passion to save souls;
he became an evangel to the Indians
among whom he lived. He was at
Mackinac and Green Bay; he told the
Pottawattomies of Christ, but they
cast him out; he travelled to the viii
lagos of the Illinois, but the Jesuits
were already there, and gave him no
welcome. At last he found a home
with the Wyandots. At first the task
was not easy, for they were a savage
people. They had tortured Jesuit
priests to the stake, and logged the
Recollets who came also. But my IA
Their won their confidence; he went
forth with them to battle; he went
with them against their enemies, and
SO they finally listened to what he
said. He became Wa-pa-tee-tah, the
white chief, and taught them of Christ
Jesus. They became Christians be-
cause they were proud of him. He ac-
complished what the priests could not
do, and kept the tribe at peace with
the whites. The English came, and
hated aim, for he would not enter into
their schemes, nor permit his people
to. Only once did he lead them to
war, against your General Clark at
Vincennes.
'Exiled and lonely, abandoning all
hope of ever returning to France or
