Editor The intelligencer : We ere fortunate to have such a candidate, in the field as Richard L Manning. He is a man from tnt rank and file of the people. His strug gle with poverty and his association for many years with the laboring white people' in the cotton fields of Sumte* ?tmnty wit! always bring sym pathy a a fairness to those people. As ad sin te s man he has succeeded and hek ? man of executive ability and is J i eatlfaw fitted for the office of governor,. Nothing can defeat him except U s friends becoming' too san guine ) overconfident. Mr. 4 uniug % now already ahead of his deponent even in the latter's strong] QJdB, Conceding* that Irby'? vote vii ; go; to Richards, will give Richer la?only about 41.000. Both Cooperjsyepd Cllnkscales' will legiti mately fa.II to Manning which will g^'e him over $7,000. There will yet remain some 25,000 votes and there can be no question that Manning will get a majority of those. It is to be expected that political tricks, misrepresentations and all 8*vts of things will be sprung on tnt e^e ot the election.

[ Editor The Intelligencer : It.will.be noted from the returns of the first primary that Richard I, Manning ran far ahead of any candi date la thia county (Bamberg).

In addition to t>ls support I have beard a number of Simms' supporters say that Mr. Manning was their seo- ; ond choice.. Kr. Simm* got a good vote In this county. The concensus of opinion here is that,, with anything like a fair vote being polled, Mr^JttiEy nmg will be elected by a handsome majority. it Is a tact that, on the day or the first primary, a number of tickets were tvdied for Rtuuje for the senate and Manning for governor.

HU Hu Position "While I am io sympathy with the organizations, I am not unmindful of the fact that the duties of a railroad commissioner require that many other matters of great Importance to the people have to be met. For In stance, the shippers of the state, the wholesale merchant and manufactur ers' muBt be considered. During the last ft-w weeks the freight and express rates have been up for consideration, and something must be done and done quick to relieve the situation. I stand for a greater reduction In express ruten, giving eVery iuwn mid every section the same showing. What we need now more than anything else ls harmony among the people-harmony between the corporations and the masaea. "Another thing I would like to cor rect, and that is the charge that I am opposed to a two-cent flat rate on all railroads in this state. I have not dis cussed the question from the stump for thc reason that every sensible man know*: that the railroad commission is not a l?gislative body. It ls simply and.purely an administrative, office. I haye declared.-from every stump with all the ardor ot ray being thal I stood for safety first, and I repeat that now. However, In conclusion, I want to add that If I am elected, as I confidently expect to be, I will see to lt that all laws coming under the supervision of the railroad commission will be en forced to the letter, or the people will know the reason why. If the legisla ture of South Carolina d?clares for a two-cent flat rate, I guarantee that the rall toads will put it into effect "If the people honor me w(tb the office, I shall perform every duty1 in cumbent upon nu with equal rights to all and special privileges to none." Hundreds of letters and telegrams continue to pile tn at Mr. Sbealy's headquarters here, all assuring the Lexington candidate of the strongest co-operation and cupport In the sec ond primary.

WORKED OX MANNING'S FARM ' Editor The Intelligencer: lt gives nit great pleasure to state that I have had the good fortune to know Mr. Richard I. Manning since 1885, and in the year of 1897, I was called upon to oversee his farm, which wak a continual source of plea sure, aa he In every possible way did all lo bis power?; sociably and in a business way, to make the position one aa much of pleasure to me as possible. And, since then, I have been con tinually In business with him, and in every way have, I found him to be a most genteel man. and never has any 'ode received that from him which would go aa a discredit to the person that is now before us asking that we honor bim with our suffrage; it should be enough to change his worst enemies to look back, on the record ot this man. Hp ls a man that would do any state honor to be able to boast of having produced such a man. It ls a<r,t fair that I should be given thal honor of writing a record that belongs to a man so prtat as the one mention ed above, and in the .course of the next three months will be known In every home in this grand old state of ours. I defy any man to produce anything that he has ever, done, that was not exactly the thia? thal any other sen sible man wo ula have dose. And I say again that it gives me the, greatest of pleasure to recom mend R.'I.
