Ki il lo wi ti ii up remarks Til? lutclll
genet r mude ycBt< rilriy nuuut thc talk
ul Solicitor Cooper's candidacy for
governor In 1910, us un opponent or
Governor Maiming, it la a ruthcr
unique coincidence lhat tlx-' Bpartnn
burg Journal < xpressed almost H inul
tnnncously tho Hame belief* as The
Intelligencer, namely, that if the
Laurens man enters the rac?' for gov
ernor next summer against Governor
Manning ho will not only he defeated
hut will injure, if not destroy alto
gether, his chances for election In
1916, in UR- event he should enter
thc race then.
Tho Journal says:
A story sent out from Anderson
says that K?bort A. Cooper while
in that city .Saturday Intimated
very strongly that hu would be in
the race for governor next sum
mer ngwlnst Richard I. Manning.
While lu- would make no positive
nnnoi in enicnt lo this effect, he,
it ls said, loft the impression
t i nilly tlxed on interviewers that
he would lie in the running.
Mr. Cooper lind better consider
the situation mont carefully be
fore toKsitiK lib hat In the ring
for he has much to lose as well
ss to gain. The condition be faces
now ki a most perplexing one.
if Mr. Coopur should run
against Mr ' Manning and he de
feated it would he the death knell
of Cooper'? political ambit ion:;
to bo governor Ile would be a
dend cock in tho pit thereafter
because lu running against Mr.
.Manning he would lose some very
strong admirers of himself, men
who wish to see him the next gov
ernor but wish to see him elected
ufter Manning lias had two terms.
Should he run against Manning
he ls going to make political ene
mies of this class and there are a
good man)' thousand of these men
in tho State. Besides he would
lose prestige by def?ut.
On tho other hand Mr. Cooper
ho? to consider the possibility of
somebody else defeating Mr. Man
ning next summer If he (Cooper)
doesn't run. Should some ono
else bent Manning that would
have a tendency to leascn Coop
er's chances in 1918. This is a
matter the Laurens man has to
think over also.
Wu uv oe with The Journal thor
oughly In tho above. Discussing til
probability of Hoa.*W. P. Pollock en
terbig tho race next summer. Th
Journal has this to say:
In tho meantime you can put.
this In your pipe and ?moke lt:
If W. P. Pollock runs for gover
nor as be is said now to be con
sidering, he ls- going to-be tr very,
very hard man to beat. Almost
uny day you can bear men who
ordinarily would support Man
ning or Coopor say that they
would vote for Pollock in prefer
ence to anybody lu tho State.
Only Sunday we heard a strong
Cooper man say that if Pollock
ran ho would cast Cooper aside
and voto for.trim. We bavo heard
Manning men say that Pollock
was the only man they would
vote for In preference to Man
ning.
We do not think the tame way i
The Journal with regard to Mr. Pc
lock. AB WC said in a previous I
sue,? in South Carolina's politic
system thero is a pretty well esta
lished custom of returning omi
holders for a second term, provld
they desire Buch. You can almo
count on your lingers the office hoi
ers who have been retired at the c
plratlon of .the first term. Rcgai
less of whether an official has ma
good or has fallen down on the j<
the voters as a whole arc inclined
be charitable and view the mlstnlt
ot his first term us being due ?o t
fact that ho bad much to do in g
ting hi. bearings and much difflcu
in taking up tho threads where til
were broken off and mero or 1<
tangled by n previous administrait!
In other words. South Carolina v
?.rs as a whole believe in giving
office holders, a square deal and
fair chance, and they realise that
not always possible for a man
have a fair showing during his f.
term of office. Wo do not bclicvo 1
Pollock can defeat Qovcrnor Mann
any more than (Solicitor Cooper,
co not bellovo any ono can defeat
I ro ent executive In his raco foi
uccond term.
Swinging back to tho subject
Manning, The Journal has this to i
with which we agree:
Governor Manning, howovor. 1
going to be very bard to beat ll
bas made some mistakes from Ui
standpoint ot a politician, lt i
true. But any man who assume
the office at the timo ho did wodi
havo been criticized. The avei
age man aeems disposed to thin
that tho Sumter man has prove
a pretty, solid governor and tht
he ls entitled to a second tern
Ho contends that whatever mit
takes Manning has mado hal
been on tito side of right-poi
slbly through overzealousness i
do tho right thing. It 1? argue
that the good people to a ms
ought to back him up.
The campaign Ia a great mau
months off yet and thero may t
many changes In tho llno-up 1
that time.

< ont w.i; VS. DECENCY.
Tin- other ?I iy an excited individual
rushed Into a newspaper ollie?: with
a choice hit of scandal burning lils
tongue, lt mad?; no difference lo this
pc n on that the scandal affected the
daughter of lils neighbor -that thc
mother of thc Kiri was seriously ill
that the brother was just entering
what promised to be a successful pro
fessloual carrer. The scandal was
rich In Davor, and he wanted to eeo
it in tlic paper. Ile told thc cditm
about lt, with every evidence of thc
kecu relish of tho scandal connois
seur, but impressed upon thc news
paper niau that the source of his lu
formak'on must be kept inviolably
secret. When thu paper came out.
Hie man returned to demand why thu
story hadn't been printed. Short,
sharp words followed, and the visi
tor called tho editor a coward and
left, vowing that a man who was
afraid to tiriut the news had no ri^bl
to lie an editor. To our mind, that
editor wa-, a brave, man. The. Inform
er who demanded that his name be
kept secret, was the coward. The
editor ran a paper in a small town.
So closely related were the lives of
tho Inhabitants, that the editor knew
every detail of the story hefore his
visitor culled on him. Hut he could
sec no prolit for himself nor glory for
his paper in printing an item that
would bring sorrow to the gray hairs
of a father, disgrace to u brother and
probably fecrlous conse?iu'enccB to a!
sick mother. If tho news appetites
of his readers were so voracious, he
thought, as to demand this costly
food, he would refuse lo puy thc
price. Tho editor wus right. Many
things ho has to print which he would
rather leave unsaid, hut thc scandal
which hu3 only its "spice" to recom
mend it should have no place in thc
columns of a self-respecting paper,
wo would rather build than tear
down. We would rather print thc
thluga that helj) und encourage and
uplift than to hold up tho mistakes
of some unfortunate to the scorn and
contempt of his neighbors. Decency
ls not lack of courage. If it were, wc
would rather bo decent than cour
ageous.
"LESSONS IN CRIME."
Hore'B moro abuse for tho poor
newBpaperB. Katherine Dement Davis,
art uplifter whom New York's reform
mayor placed lu charge of tho city
prisons, has refused to let thc prison
ers in Blackwell's Island read news
papers in their cells because, she
Bays. "Tho average dally newspaper
IB a lessou in crime."
Muybo tliis ls only a Hash of re
sentment due to the fuct that even
M i S? Davis, though one of thc most
capable and clear-headed women lr
public life, ls subject to the weak
ness of not being able to endure tilt
leis.m. Or mnybo her slur \u really
deserved by New York newspapers -
though to an outsider, the metropoli
tan aheota seem to havo vasily im
proved .-ince tho old "yellow" days
thnt won them unenviable fame.
It will be nows, however, to iuo:.
American readers to bc told that
their newspapers aro "lessons In
crime." Tho papers, of course, print
stories of crime-because crimea oc
cur, und tho public has a desire and
a right to know about them, and be
cause publicity is thc best corrective
of crimo and wrong. Dut if there
over was an era when our newspap
ers generally sought to exploit crime
und take udvantagc of unwholesome
public interests to fatten their circu
lation, that timo has passed. It is
sato to say that thc average news
paper today prints far less crime and
vice in its columna than thc aver
age reader would read with avidity If
lt were there. Thero ls a deliberate,
conscious purposo In thc minds of
most editors to placo before their
readers nothing that is not good for
them to read. Even the New York
papers, as tho World pointod out, car
ried, in tho samo Issue containing
this criticism, from Miss Davie, a
total quantity of criminal nows filling
less space than Miss Davin' own state
ment of her own plan to reform
prison conditions.

NETS TO CATCH TORPEDOES.
It ts announced that Admiral Tay;
lor, chief constructor of the navy, has
perfected a device to protect battle
ships from submarines. It is describ
ed as a heavy charin net, which will be
suspended from booms projecting j
from tho ship1 at a distance of abouti
fifteen pr twenty feet from the sides.
The bow and stern, apparently, are
not to bo protected. They aro sel
dom In danger. A submarine always
discharges as nearly as possible a
torpedo at right angles to a ship, be
cause tho eldo offers tho best target
To aim directly at the bow of an ap
proaching ship ? almost useless, and
besides wcutd put the submarine tn
danger of being rammed. The stern,
too. offers a poor target
These facts aro fortunate for thc
success of tho now device, fur if heavy
dots had to ho hung III thc water
ahead and astern of a ship they would
retard its speed. Hung aiongitdc,
they may not he much of a drag.
Tln re seems to be no reason why
the plan shouldn't work. The nets arc
to he hung out only when the warship
is in u danger zone. Tilt y will stop u
torpedo before it strikes Hie ship, lt
may stick In the meshes and ru\
down liannicrasly, or it may explode,
'ti the latter case, there will probably
lie no more harm done than tile de
luging of thc deck with a column of
water.
? milar nets hung over the bow
ought to be a sufficient protection
against floating mines, ir the British
navy had adopted such a device early
In Hie war. i?. would have several
more battleship and cruisers afloat to
day. Perhaps tho Dardanelles fleet is
now protected lu that very way.
lt only goes to show that there's a
remedy for everything, even in war
fare. The only trouble is that in the
endless competition In t we n offense
and ilcfen.se, weapons generally man?
np- to keep to a lap ahead of armor.

There then arose a discussion os to

Thia was agreed upon and after
counting out and handing $30 a piece
to tho negro escorts, the brother call
ed for the $100.
However, he was Jost a little bit
too slow. Thc other negroes had

AT SURAMER SCHOOL
BY PROF. LUECO GUNTER,
STATE RURAL SCHOOL
INSPECTOR
CONDITIONS IN S. C.
80 Per Cent of Children Receive
Education in Schools With Not
Over Three Teachers.
Prof. Lucco Gunter, Inspector of
rural schools, addressed 4he teacher
of the summer school yesterday at
noon, his subject, "Tho Organization
and Courso of Study in the One, Two
and Three-Teadher Schools."
Prof. Gunter's first point waa that
schools with at least five or s|x
teachers, giving their timo to high
school work could no more than give
thorough instruction in the text books
as adapted by thc state board of edu
cation and that when it came to
schools with fewer teachers than
these, tho problem ia to have the
classes and courser of study arrang
ed so as to get tho best results.
Mr. Gunter atatcd that 80 per cent
of l?e children in South Carolina re
ceived their education in schools that
had one, two or three teachers, and
that tho problem stated above was
one that deserved much attention. . :
Mr. Guutor stated that a one-teach
er school should not attempt more
than seven grades, a two-tcecher
school not moro Chan eight grades and
a three-'eacher school not more than
nine grades. This will allow the
teachers to give their t'rue and atten
tion to the pupils, not as much as they
should have, but the best that can be
doue with the teachers limited.
?lr. Gunter then went into the
work of organisation of classes in the
school rooms so that each pupil
might receive tho proper attention.
Yesterday morning Prof. Gunter
and Supt. Felton visited the colored
summer normal sdhool. Yesterday
afternoon they went to tho Saluda
association at Starr.

A REMARKABLE UTTEBANCE
(Ry Louis J. Bristow in Baptist
Courier.)
Governor Manning made an address
in the Abbeville Baptist church last
Sunday, which in BO mo respects was :
a remarkable utterance. He had
come as ouc of a number of distin
guished laymen who have been speak
ing in thc Baptist church here Sun
day afternoon during the spring and
summer.
Tile governor's address was upon
four topics, the church, the state,
?ducation, and the home,. I would
that space and time permitted a re
sume of bis address; but it is to that
portion of it which referred to educa
tion that I wish to write.
Mr. Manning referred to the growth
of general education . He said, in
medieval times only the monks were
educated. He traced the history ot
tho spreading of education, saying lt
is now wcllnigtot universal. Point
ing out the advantages to society and
religion of the general education of
tho people, he paid glowing tribute to
the public schools and state colleges
of today. Thea followed that portion
of his address which I huve bpoken of
as remarkable. It was the governor's
reference to Christian schools.
Governor Manning declared that
education of the head and hand of
man is uttorly inadequate to a woll
rounded personality. For men, bo
said, ls a triune being, and 'he heart
may not br left untaught it the man
is to bo well educated. Mind, body
and spit lt constitute the full man. He
said tho state moy leach the mind,
and in its vocational training develop
the body; but the state may not teach
religion. That ls peculiarly the func
tion of the * churches, and without
churches the Btate is crippled aha
weakened beyond repair in its civilis
ing and refining influences. Gover
nor Manning then spoke of the deno
minational school, and paid fi'tlog
and worthy tribute to it. He argea
the ?apport of Christian schools,
whore the religion of Jesus Christ
may be and ls taught. Christianity,
he said, is the saving essence ot so
ciety. Without lt tho state will lapse
Into -barbarism... He made a forceful
pica for tho Christian school.
Governor Manning's address mad?
a profound Impression upon the large
aud lonco who heard him. The malu
auditorium, tho Sunday school room
and tho class rooms of tho church
wore filled with people More than
fifty chairs vere In the aisles. . All
denominations were represented. Mr.
Vanning is an Episcopalian, and
those who ?noir hhn ar? familiar with
tho virile and active :?>po of bis
Christianity. Ills plea ?or Christian
schools was not remarkable es com
ing from Mr. Fielt api I. Manning;
but as coming from the governor ot
South Carolina. Uo ls ex-offlclo
chairman of the board, of trustees ot
all the state colleges-the Universi
ty, Winthrop, the Citadel, Cedar
Springs, the Negro College, and all
tho rest. He is a life member of
Clemson's board. His sprvlep in the
House and Renate ot tho l?gislature
always favored liberal appropriations
tor state schools; andi that he favors
now, as a statesman. And be does
not undervalue the work t?f ?tate
schools; tor trum it. As a progres
sive Christian Uaiosman ho realises
tho Superior value of a Chriton
school to any and all other. The
governor ot Sooth Caroling ls an ag
gressive Christian as well ss an ag
trees'.WB Chief Executive. The state
caay- voil rejoice.
