' * 2 MANNING VOTES FLOCK 10 BLEASE (Continued from Page 1) It Is recalled here that this spokesman of the Manning hduiinlstrat on predicted on August 24 that former Governor Blease Could not secur? enough votes to get into a second race, the words of the Columbia State in that pre-election prediction being as follows: "The real contest for governor is ** 1? 1 " u^inccu .>i<t iMimi; itIIII i ooppr anil 11 there be a second contest Manning and Cooper will be the contestants." In the light of this statement, any predicition by the Columbia State is taken as a joke, and is passed over with a smile even by the Manning partisans. "Hear The Charleston American,"; says the Columbia State, "the daily newspaper supporting Blease. promising that the racing business is1 'gone and gone forever.' Isn't that a new tune." Blease Enforced Law. It is pointed out here today that under the new law Governor Blease during his last year stopped the al-i leged rare track gambling, as is shown by a letter which is on file from Sheriff J. Elmore Martin. of| Charleston. In a letter to Governor Rlease. SherlfT Martin said: "Your telegram with reference to race track was received at 4 HO p. m. this afternoon. I acted immediately upon same, and proceeded person-; ally with my deputy to track. When I arrived at track, the races were Just over for the day; but I found the manager and informed him that I had received the telegram and that your instructions must be obeyed. .... I will have my deputy at the track on Monday to see that ! your instructions are observed." The Manning people are without' hope. They know that they are heat. Such men as Mr. Arthur S. Tompkins, of Edgefield. for some sixteen years superintendent of the Sunday school of the First Baptist church of Edgefield, and now one of the officers of the church, is with Blease. and openly working for him. Va/ionoA want Qnllfti Pa r A1 i n *1 to bo rid of a regime of hypocritical cant. Rlease's mail is so heavy, both with letters from his own supporters and from former supporters of Cooper and a good many who voted for Manning last Tuesday, that It is well-nigh a physical impossibility for him to answer it. He asked The American again to-' day to state to any of those who had written him that if they did not receive a reply it was not from lack of appreciation, but simply from lack of time. CHINA FACES DEMAND MADE BY JAPANESE Peking. Sept. 3.?Haron Gonsuke Hayashi, the Japanese minister to China, has presented to the Chinese foreign office four demands for a settlement of the clash between Chinese and Japanese troops at Cheng Chiatnn, eastern Mongolia, Aug. 13, when 50 Chinese and 17 Japanese were killed or wounded. The Japanese demands follow: "First dismissal of the Chinese officers in command of the troops. "8econd, the withdrawal of Chi-! nese troops from the district in which the trouble arose. "Third, indemnification of the, families of the Japanese killed. "Fourth, the granting of Japan of police rights in inner Mongolia." The Japanese insist that the demands are light, but the Chinese, officials regard thorn as practical) elimination of Chinese authority In Inner Mongolia. Chen Shlan-Tao. the acting Chi-, nese minister of foreign affairs, is! withholding his reply to Japan un-j til full reports are available from ai special agent who has been sent to Cheng Chlatun.

Conditions (Jenerally Satisfactory, and a tJood Fall and Winter Trade Anticipated. Baltimore, Sept. 1.?The general business situation as the end of the summer approaches is favorable in practically all lines of trade and industry. The fall outlook is regarded as quite encouraging, and the present activity observable throughout the South is thought to indicate real prosperity. While the improved conditions were for a long time attributed to the impetus given by "war orders." the opinion is now expressed that thero is permanent growth and expansion, and this has caused a feeling of optimism to prevail. There has been considerable unrest In some lines of manufacturing, due to labor troubles, the strikes in the clothing trade having continued several weeks without settlement, and during the past week the box manufacturing trade has been practically tied up. An early adjustment of threatened railraod labor troubles is anxiously awaited by manufacturers and jobbers. Industrial development in the city and suburbs has caused much activity in the erection of homes for the accommodation of a greatly increased force o fomployees of the large enterprises. Jacksonville, Fla., Sept. 1.?General business conditions In this city and vicinity show a steady tendency towards Improvement, and the movement of staple merchandise Is considerably more active than at this time a year ago. Prices of most of the leading products in this section have shown little change, but a reduction In freight rates on lumber has materially benefited that line. Money is plentiful at reasonable rates, but financial accommodation is not in very brisk demand at this season.?Dun's Review. ACCUSED SA DESMAN REAPS FROM TRAIN Man Alleged to Have Slain Wife Will Probably Recover From Injuries. Chicago, Sept. 3.?J. Maurice Pettit. traveling salesman accused of murdering his bride of a month. leaped from a speeding Michigan Central train near Michigan City. Ind., today while being brought back to Chicago from Detroit where he was arrested last night, lie was severely injured. The train was stopped and officers who had Pettit in custody placed him aboard the train again and brought him to a Chicago hospital. . Pettit. whose mother declared he was of unsound mind, is charged with cutting his wife's throat a few days ago with a razor because of jealousy. That he had killed his wife to preserve her purity was the strange confession Pettit made at the hospital to Chief of detectives Parkin tonight. "I killed her to save her purity," Pettit told Detective Parkin, according to the latter. "I wanted to keep her pure and spiritual. She still lives as you and I do. She was a fine girl and we had ?no trouble. Other men called on and talked to her. I was jealous of them. I was wrong in that." CARD OF THANKS.

THE LANCASTER NEWS WOMAN OF OO MANAGES 125 ACHES OF APPLE TKEES / In the September American Maga- j rdne, among the Interesting People. i san article about Mrs. P. G. I McEvoy, a sixty year old woman who ' makes fifteen carloads .of apples; i grow each year. The writer says: "Mrs. McEvoy is sixty years old. She owns and personally manages ' every detail of work on an apple orchard of one hunored and twenty-* ! five acres. It is situated at New ; Burnside in the famous fruit belt ot ' Illinois, down in 'Egypt.' When' her husband died, ten years ago, he left her forty acres of bearing np4.. n ... I pit- un iut i u, * i*ruy-n ve sir; ps or young. non-fruitful orchard, and a mortgage which was about to come to a head. Never before had she wrestled with finances except those of the house and garden variety, and all her work had been bathing the: dishes, turning the rag carpet every' other spring. and massaging the milk from one cow twice per diem. "Then the creditors came, and were prevailed upon to give her two years* time to pay off the indebted-' ness. And night and day for five years she toiled in the fields. Night and day is literal. In early spring, for weeks at a stretch, she stayed out : In the fields all night long, burning ! brush piles to protect, with the warm pall of smoke, the tender buds and blossoms from the cold. Day after ^ day she waded through snow knee-! deep, building fires to keep her, ' hands warm as she wrapped the young trees with cornstalks so the rabbits could not nibble the bark off them and kill them. "When the spraying season came she mixed and cooked the poison with her own hands, and often for days carried a twelve-foot spraying rod. fighting the thousand and one pests wlhch besiege the apple from its Infancy. "She helped to haul and spread' straw beneath the trees, so the ap' pies shaken off by the summer storms would not be too bruised to market. Through the biting frosts I and cold of February and March,l| througlT the rain of April, and the' I hept of stimmer: through the dis; eases that spot the apples on the trees in the fall, and the gathering and packing of the winter apples in November and the repacking in December for cold storage, month after month and year after year, she 1 waged the desperate fight, and she waged it practically alone. j "But it was a winning fight. She ' paid oft the last of the debts last summer and shipped over fifteen , carloads of apples from her one . hundred and twenty-five acres of or- I chard." ' \ A CARD OF THANKS. I desire to sincerely thank my many friends throughout the county jfor the splendid vote given me in the ' recent primary in my race for the house of representatives. I realize, that those who did vote for me w*-ie friends indeed?friends of whom' any man should feel proud?because in casting your ballots as you did,' you were not influenced by any man. or set of men, but on the other hand, voted for me because of your _ friendship and your belief in the i principles which I advocated, and ? i my integrity and desire to be of real I benefit, to my county and my people, 1 | and for same, I certainly do thank * | each and every one of you. I do not cherish an 111 will to- , J wards any one as a result of the g : election, but on the other hand, I _ shall continue, in the future as In I .the past, to work for the best Interest of my county at all times.
