It seems to be in the at mosphere that Richard I. Manning will be the next governor of the state. We can add not liing to what we have | said in the past: . MWe bare long known him to be a man of character? of vision? of Strm pkthy, of honesty?, and of reliabil ity. And we believe that If He ls elected governor there will be in that office a man whom every Sont h Carolinian will In time ?orne I . to love. He ls a man of gentle' manner*?bat of undoubted cour KI he ti a mad who Ix nrbti? bf Mttttciiproud ?.?i the men wbene Mood fInri lu his veins and be fore he ?*" ?ubi be guilty of one f*?uW?

Manning a comfortable majority. Against his opponent, we have nothing to say. Against his private life no charge can be brought, but we think thst his own "speech" here Saturday afternoon ls the best evidence of bis unfitness to hold an office of so much importance. There ls another race in which much interest is being manifested and that ls the contest for congress. Mr. Dominick gets a lot of fun out of an expression 'tosed In thia paper to the effect that it would be "diffi cult to say-what Mi.1 Aiken bad dona ' for his constituents. In his readiness tb make capital of this expression. Mr. Dominick admits bis commercial conception of the du ties of a congressman. Our view of the responsibility of that great office differs from his. We conceive that tho work ot a congressman ls some thing higher than merely to look ofter postofticqp and post roads, although he should do this too. Mr. Dominick did not quote all of our query "What is the measure" of*tb? rucee?? or thc work or tho accomplishment of a congress mutt. Mr. Underwood ts the teador of the Democrats in the hons e and we suppose any South Carolina congress man gets ss much federal "patronage" aa Mr. Underwood. The measure of a congressman ls stet, air ne the "pap" be gets, but tho personality he has, the prestige be eujTys, and we believe Mr. Aiken has bia1 share of that, and wtll enlnv ft for two years yet to come. Aa to the card of J. H. Patten, we wish tb ssy that the attack upon him was marked ptainly "advertisement" and we disclaim sny responsibility therefor. We think Mr. Patten':* at tack on Mr. Aiken was In very bab taste, but we do not uphold the counter Castles in the air come tumbling be fore tho war balloons -o i ,, Some European city may change Its same to Retrograde. Anderson county farmers sro much better off than *bey realise. What they need ls organisation. TAKE COURAGE 1 Deserters II?;vcr win. This ?K tho day when courageous men must face the unknown. Wo have heard from old soldiers, men of undoubted Courage, that they had shivered with fear through the long, long night, only to timi when morning did come that the dangers 'hat were conjured up hy fancy were unrcu' I And yet we have heard ot some ru? li ' dying of nostalgia, or homesick, and of fear of the unknown. The k ir of fear 1B the greatest devitallzer ii. the world. To avoid the unreal things f nt prey upon our imaginations through tho night time of suspense, let un up and advance to meet the day break, let us havo cur fucos set to meet tho dawn, lt wlM surely come lu golden splendor. Shall wi? dip our flag in defeat? Will our banner be hauled down Just at the time when the South ls coming Into her own utter so ninny long, long years of waiting and longing, years of agony und suspense? Have the extravagances and the pampering of lucreusiiig prosperity weakened the power of resistance o.' the men of tho South? True, it ts dark before us. hut per haps it ls that darkest hour which precedes ,u hoautjful tomorrow.,*aud while we ure waiting ?hf gomiag of the dhWn?'-o? u Brighter .Vomirierci?l day, why should he not think of what wc havu rather thun of what wc have had? There ia no yesterday. It I? to morrow thnt we must welcome. Anderson county la "well off.",TJ^o conditions which encompass up like rt shroud dt ni?hf. should hut leal]us to realise that with.the world ut peace this county would have been glorious ly situated, and as it is, nobody will starve in Anderson. If we do not lose our courage, our Faith, our hope, our trust, we will ex perience but a temporary Bet-back, ind by exorcising pluck und common lenBe ami uncommon energy the next few years will see the South regain ivory thing-and a great deal more. What are our aBsets? The county las more wheat and oats than ever In ts history. There In more corp. there' ls nore hay, there are more hogs, more i>.(t le. .

ENBGRSlpiq M . KNIMMNINit HANWIvMi Wi The Intelligencer has -received lot era from many parts ot the state nfinming people of the life and char ctor of Richard I. Manning and toli ng of the landslido that is Bettln* ii tor him in Tuesday's election. Some of these letters have come rom personal friends in numer ounties. Others have come frqiu Ir. Manning's headquarters in Sum Br. Saturday we received a g rea umber ot them but as the campaign ? over we wilt publiah no more. Our bject waa merely to let the readers f thin paper know the type of manj j hut the next governor" Of Our,'?tate.i Among those who have written in lr. Manning^ behalf are.J. B. Cov iglon, of CHo.4t>rUa>ro?onnty; J. | Ugga, W. ?. Allen and N. O. Broad ray, of Clarendon county: L*. J. Wil lama of Aiken county and a dosen of therB. We will quote from that of lr. Riggs: M '.' >. . ".. ? tl .> . t> >?. "? I have seen these letters and heard these reports about Mr. Manning being an aristocrat and being against the poor man and all that kind of nonsense, and and I want to tell every, farmer Ktid avery working man in South Carolina that lt alnt so. Mr. Manning started aa a farmer, he built himself up. Now he ls a first claas business man and he tn H ni ni nf the cotton crop ut the very lowest prices would he $2.500,000. We would all long to .?ee it u $5, 1OO.000 crop, and hy using business sa gacity its value might be put up to 1 point nearer $:i,500,000. If the .ar mers can dispos?? of enough of th? ir :-rop to put even $1,000,000 Into cir culation, it might be the lifting of 'he curtain of: night. It will save the re mained or the crop to bring ircuien louH prices at sonne Jat?T day. We all db know tho story of. the old pump that. would draw 110 watet iin ji a little water was poured in from he top,; making the pumping easier, iud bringing a copious and refresh ng stream. It may be necessary to waste some of our assets to get the mandai pumps started to working ind then the results will be invigorat ing ?nd life giving to our commercial .(immunity. We would not counsel the throwing af cotton on the market. But if it las to be done to start the stream of told which has been so suddenly ob structed, then we say do the thing that .viii save the day, even at a cost for ne present. The part that ls so sacrificed, may n that very act give greater value to he member that is saved. When tho boat begins to leak, all lands .take a turn at the pump. This s the tlqao when all parties must go shoulder, to shoulder, working stead ly, calmly and with determination to yfing the boat, of* commerc? dnto that >rlght /and happy havcu of .a. debtless Tomorrow. i '< ? -Lj--UlLU- 1J-J .-?)_ R.
