WALHALLA WANTS BOTH THE TRAINS Say That Motor Car Should Be Extended To Walhalla For Afternoon Trip Also The editor of The Daily Intelligen . cer waa in Walhalla for a few boura and heard many comments upon tue determination of the Blue Ridge to switch the gns-elentrle train to that end of the line. Everybody is much pleased over the prospect and pro mise to give the strongest kind of support, und boosting to the propo v aition. Some of the Walhalla people urge that the afternoon arrival of the gas electric be extended from Seneca, the proposed stop of the motor car cn its second t rip. One weil informed gen tleman Bays "Walhalla wants the af ternoon motor service oh the Blue Ridge atad feels that conditions are ouch aa amply to Justify lt ? Walhal la is the terminus of the road, and Ute gateway to the mountains, then why stop tba afternoon car at Seneca when it is only bine miles to Walhalla . or a run of: about 20 minutes' . "If tho afternoon trip is extended to Walhalla it will eliminate a delay ol from two to fopr hours at Seneca fot Walhalla bodnd ' traffic, passengers and mall, and also will give us late af ternoon service out of Walhalla* .with eloae connections with1 the Southern main line. In view of the aboye facta, we trust Capt. Anderson can be in duced to give Walhalla and West Union the same service that will bc enjoyed by all the other points on thc . Blue Ridge. . . MANNING MADE EXTEMPORE TALK i TO BELTONITES Liberal Applause Given Speaker On Splendid Oration That Was Rendered Special to Tho Intelligencer. Belton, July t?.-Hon Richard I. Manning, who is making the race for governor, and who is conceded to bc one of the leading candidates in the race, spent today lu Belton, having come from Spartanburg to meet tho voters of Helton and vicinity. Mr. Manning has many strong friends here and spent the day very pleasantly . meeting them and making new ones. | Puring the evening a conference was ? held here with a number of the strong personal and political friends of Mr. Mnnning. These are quite enthusi astic over the outlook and are predict ing a big vote in Anderson county for their favorite. ! Yielding to requests of the crowd. Mr. Manning delivered a strong ad ! dress late in the afternoon. There were present 250 voters besides many ladies and children. For an hour the speaker held the undivided attention of his audience, being accorded a gen ourous amount of applause. The In troduction was made by Prof. J. B. Watkins, who paid hight tribute to the worth of the candidate. I Asked Ilarmony. Mr. Manning began his address with a plea for harmony in the state. He decried thc appeals to prejudice and and passion, and hopes tho voters'will ,cnst their ballots for the men they believe fittest to fill the office for which they are aspiring. He'discuss ed the issues of the campaign and an nounced his stand on the many inter esting questions being discussed over the state Just now. The speaker was especially bitter , In his denunciation of the violation .of law in allowing the race track gamblers to bold their carnival of crime in South C. roi lim, although ? .there ls a law on the statute book pro hibiting such meets to be held. " He said If he were ^le >d( governor he I would issue an Older only once, and if it were not obeyed the ollie lal head of the person who refused would fall. Speaking of the pardoning power of the governor. Mr. Manning said that If he were elected that he would j doubtless grant some pardons, but that they would be from meritorious ?.reasons, and based on evidence that i there had been a grave miscarriage of justice. He did not believe in thc wholesale use of the pardoning power, thus setting aside the verdicts of ju ries and destroying the efficiency of the courts. He would know no friend or foe in the discharge of his duties as governor, including the pardoning of persons convicted of crime. Compulsory Cdencation He discussed at some length his .views of the compulsory educational matter now being made an issue of thc campaign. Mr. Manning's position is favoring a local option compulsory law, that ls letting each Behool dis trict or county decide the matter of having compulsory education or not. He argued that the entire state ls not yet rea - for the use of this law, and that ll were forced on it by legis lative eu loree me nt it would result in as great farce as would the passage of a prohibition law in Charleston. No better use could be made of the ex- < pendituro of money than for educa- j tlon, and education will not come cheap. He stated that State Superin tendent of Education Swearingen Bald that if a compulsory law were enacted , now that the school facilities would, not accomodate the children thati would'be forced into school, and ttl woutd result in overcrowding teachers ' thuB destroying the efficiency ot their teaching. The speaker stated that a business administration of affairs 1B needed, and referred to the fact that the pres ent governor is at loggerheads with all the departments, and that <t ls cost ing tho state at least ?226,000 on ac count of the failure to arrange the matter of the refund of the state debt, j The reception given Mr. Manning. was '.cry cordial and he was several times applauded. Many comments - favorable to him were heard. - | oooooooooononooooool 'o (MAIN FESTIVAL o| ,'o .-?- ol i o Anderson county farmers are o' o Interested .tn the grain festival, a o Different sections hare, sent o o word to the Anderson Chamber o o of Commerce, snylng that their o , - o farmers will hove exhibits here o o en Joly SI to contest for the va- o o rions pr?tes.

July (5.-Tho nomina tions o? tho flye members of the Fed eral reserve board-Charles S. Ham lin, W. T. G. Harding and A. C. Mil ler, were conhrmcu taie today. Tlie nominations of Paul M. War tung or New York, and Thomas Jones o' Chicago, have not boen acted upon by tho hanking and currency commit tee and probably will not be hofre the end or the week. It was stated to night that Mr. Warburg would ask tho president to withdraw his nomination, but acting chairman Hitchcock, or the banking committee, tonight telegraph ed an invitation lor him to appear on Thursday and submit to tho commit tee'r questions, lt was suggested, however, that Mr. Warburg probably would decline the invitation and that thlr would be followed by an an nouncemtnt from the White House that tlie nomination had been with drawn. Mr. Hamlin. Mr. Miller and Mr. Harding take tho oath or office within a few days and the work of setting in motion the new Federal hanking system can be begun at once.

Hud .Tones Talking Mr. Jones waa before*, the committee for nearly four hours today to tell of his relations with ? the. International Harvester Company and' thc New Jer rey Zinc company, both to-called trusts. He was questioned at lengtli by the members. No proposal was made to the vote on a report to the Senate on his nomination, but it ls re garded us probable that if approval is given it will be close. Senator Hitchcock war authorized to give .out information secured from Mr. Jones. His report in substance was: Mr. Jones was asked about Iiis rela tions to largo enterprises, one of which war the International Harves ter Company. Mr. Jones'' said he be came a director of that company in April 1009, purchasing one share to qualify', at the request of Cyrus H. McCormick, an old friend. He said bc fully approved of all actions of thc company since ho became a director and he believed that they were proper and within thc law. Mr. Jones also announced he is in accord with thc company's policy and raid he had noth'.ng to lose or gain by the decis ions of the courts in the anti-trust suit in the Harvester case. Owned Zinc Mine Prior to 1897, Mr. Jonca told the committee that he owned a zinc mine at Minearl Point, Wis., capitalized at $400,000 which came to him and his brother in satisfaction.of a debt. This cmopany was taken over by the New Jersey Zinc company then capitalized at $4,000,000 and the oJnes brothers were given $900,000 in stock of the New Jersey company for their $400, 000 In the Wisconsin company. The New Jersey company acquired other properties an dincreaaed its capital to $10,000.000. It now produces 20 per cent of the smelter of the United States, 3 per cont of the sulphuric acid and 85 per cent of the oxide of zinc. As a result of the various con solidations the dividends of the New Jersey company last year were $5,00, 000 and the year before $4.000,000.

In the present instance the comment was regarded by the State department as peculiarly untimely and ill-advised because of the extreme jealousy with which the European powers have guarded the Kalkan powers. It is considered by them as ono to bc dealt with by European powers alone, their position being precisely that of thc United States government in regard to the Monroe doctrine. It was recalled tonight that even in j the most desperate phase of tho Bal- 1 kan war, when the allies were1 clos ing in on Constantinople and many of tho diplomatic representativos in that capital were calling upon their'gov ernment for help, thc six powers In terposed an effective objection to the . appearance ot American warships in the Dardanelles.
