Thursday, August 3, 191( The overwhelming sentiment i the campaign meeting the other da in Bamberg in favor of Governt Manning is an endorsement of h administration. Twto years ago tt County was overwhelmingly for Mai - ning. It is still so. frV - * We have heard of a few people wt are opposed to Governor Mannir because of the present insurant muddle. We fail to see wherein tt omr hlamo thprp hp shoil] UiailiU) 11 auj W1UU1U VUV? , be applied to the governor. It is conspicuous fact that not one of tb : , opponents of Governor Manning hs attacked the governor's actions r< garding the insurance law. If tb governor's actions in- this regaf were pregnable, his opponents woul not be so magnanimous as to ove: look the fact. South Carolina can receive $71 807 next year from the federal go^ ernment for good roads. This is coi ditioned upon the State appropria ing a like sum. Within the next fe years there will be available for goo roads all over the country from tb government about $75,000,000, as result of the passage of the goo roads bill by congress recently. Thi measure received the unstinted sui port of Congressman Byrnes, and tb Washington newspaper correspond ents give him a large share of crad nooooorfl V\tt nftn P'rofic all f 1U1 HO ^UOOUgV UJ VVUQ. vxwy ^ which he deserves. * The campaign meeting in Bamber last Thursday was quiet and orderl: Every candidate received a respec ful and attentive hearing. There wa pi-. 110 evidence of rancor or bitternes or factionalism. The candidates pr< sented their claims in a dignified an gentlemanly manner, and with ou or two exceptions, there were no pei , tonalities indulged in. The peopl of the State are tired of the old mai ner of campaigning, and they wi not stand for it any longer. The pe< pie of the State can thank the new! papers largely for the manner i which the meetings are held th: year. The demand for a clean can paign or no campaign at all resulte in a better campaign. flftromftp Manning is not. nnnuls with a certain element of people i South Carolina. Enforcing the la does not set well with those wh have' little or no respect for the la\ This is evidenced in the followir editorial paragraph from the Spa tanburg Journal: There were two classes in tfc crowd that heard the candidates fc governor speak in Charleston day b< fore yesterday. One cheered f< Governor Manning when he state that he had tried to enforce all < the laws all over the State. T1 / other cheered another candidate f< governor vociferously when he sa: that he wouldn't cram down tl throats of any people a law the didn't want. The latter is presume to have had reference to the prohit tion law. With which side are you going i line up? Common houseflies, it is said, do lot toward spreading the infection i " infantile paralysis. Every house Bamberg county should be screen^ against flies and mosquitoes. Mc quitoes bring malaria and typhc and flies spread all manner of d ease. It has been clearly demonstn ed that flies breed in filth?and t filth need not necessarily be on yo own premises; the filth of your ne door neighbor would answer just well for breeding places for flies your own. Indeed, unclean premis should not be allowed in town at a We have known of towns where t boards of health would clean premises where the owners would e and the costs were taxed against the ^ preperty. Speaking of cleaning up = premises, the mayor of Newberry carried an advertisement in the papers ie there as follows: in After the heavy rains of the past a- few weeks, it is very important that ig all premises be cleaned thoroughly, r- and I appeal to all citizens to have :k this work done at once, a Extra carts will be provided to >y haul the refuse away.

Let every citizen ); attend to it at once, and see that the grounds around his home are cleaned of all refuse and garbage. We ;h feel sure that the city council will r- provide extra teams to haul the refuse away from town. ts ? ^ Mr. Robert A. Cooper gave an unal qualified endorsement last Thursday n. in Bamberg to the administration of lx Governor Manning. In answering o'_ the questions propounded by the gov0_ ernor as to what Mr. Cooper would r- have done in regard to the various administration measures and official Lg s? acts of Mr. Manning, Mr. Cooper admitted that he would likely have act76 ed the same as did Governor Man3e ning. He differed with the governor nnlv rvn minnr motforc* and in rttip \JLXLJ l/U LUlliVl ixxMVtVi y -ww e. difference, at least, we believe that >r the people would stand squarely with Ln the governor?that of supplementing *6 ?_ the salary of the superintendent of the State Hospital for the Insane out ? of his own pocket. In the light of 3. Mr. Cooper's admission that he would ? have acted the same as Manning, the it Question of why Cooper is in the race iy is an interesting one. Is it Mi. >r Cooper's desire to promote the best is interests of the State, or is it mereie ly a personal ambition of his to be1 come governor? This is no time to talk of gratifying personal ambition. A man running for this -reason alone lo is not a big enough ma^-^fftr goveiig nor?certainly not for several years ( yet. If Mr. Cooper would have done te the same 'during the past eighteen ( d months as Manning, his friends may a reasonably suppose that he will do te the same during the next two years, , is if he is elected. Then, what reason 2- is there for his election? The peo- ; te pie of the State know that Manning d has made a good, conscientious gov- : d ernor. Mr. DesChamps says he has ; r- been the best governor in many ( vooi?e< AT r?
