' ' NATIONAL GUARD AU OLD-TIME ENTHUSIASM WAS LACKING IN GREENWOOD MEETING YESTERDAY (Continued from Page One) there is an unjust competition undei the present system. Mr. Cooper favors a negotiabh warehouse receipt. He believes agri culture should be taught in the pub lie schools because "the man who is going to produce the wealth of this state is the man who tills the soil." "If elected Governor," said Mr, Cooper, "I shall be the governor oi every man, woman and child. I propose to be the Governor of the state We should get together and wipe oul bitter factionalism." Mr. Cooper closed by thanking th people for the flattering vote he received two years ago. John M. DesChamps. Mr. DesChamps said he didn't have to tell the people he is a candidal for^governor because "I look like it." air. DesChamps opened a ne^ channel when he advocated sending more negro troops to Mexico and keeping more white men at home. He eloquently , opposed killing white men and "turning the darned state aver to the negroes." Mr. DesChamps confided to his bearers that he was not speaking to please them but to help them. He declared treatment of the Confederate soldier is a disgrace. The warehouse system, he said, is dead as a campaign issue because it is already established. / He took the side of the "insurance trust" of South Carolina because the attack made on it was made in the wrong way. They were told how to run their business by the Legislature a prerogative it did not have. Showing how well a corporation mndles its business, Mr. DesChamps >aid the Southern Railway carried sixteen million people the lasc fiscal fear with only one fatality. "You nothers,"^ he added, "couldn't handle ;hat number of babies without drop)ing at least one."- He favors free ;uition and told why in ome very lowery language. He closed by "cussing the erussidist thine in South Carolina?the jolitical faction."" John T. Duncan said he had come igain to give "an account of my stewardship.'r ( Mr. Duncan spiked "The System" igain, told why none of his opponsnts is fitted to be Governor, and >romised that if he were put in the econd race he would be elected. He ickled the crowd immensely when' le asked: "Didn't you Bleaseites tell me wo years ago that if Blease was not n it you would vote for Duncan?" "Yes," replied several. "Then come on and do it," Mr_ Duncan responded without cracking 1 smile. "He is not in it." Gov. Mannings Gov. Manning was received with iomc applause. For the last few lays he said, he had been working >ver time on the militia situation. ! INSURANCE JNSU Life F 2 _ _ V . 'i Monev^ to lena on 11 | $1,000.00 to $10,000.00. \: 4'Talk it over ?

The gover- {I 5 nor plainly showed that he was deep- j| 5 ly concerned over the militia situa- 1 tion. ' 9 As Governor of the State, Mr {| ' Manning gave an account of his | record. He declared that he was [i not here to stir up factionalism, but a : came to tell what he had promised s two year ago and let the people de- |j ! cide for themselves whether he had a kept those promises. Charleston was named as the most g shimrg example. He appointed state ij i constables to "go there and enforce [a 'f^.he low fairly but relentlessly," as | a result blind tigers and open gam- {3 ' bling places have been wipel out. a f Now the good citizens respect the law |] 1 wd +)re bad ones are afraid of it.

The governor ei hurriedly mentioned other measures b( which he described as constructive, m He spoke of the work he has done w at the State Hospital for the In- W( sane, declaring that conditions were it awful. "The patients were treated th more like convicts than human be- H ings." He defended his paying Dr. Fred Williams an increased salary and showed that the State had sav I ed money by it. He showed a note for $2,375 which he paid with his personal check in "order to relieve to 1 thoso 1,800 patients." (The Gover- ici nor was applauded when he made & thi" statement.) Pf He declared that Dr. William# had fo pnid $34,000 in operating expenses, th jand yet the inmates are treated now gi ! a patients in a hospital with an in- de creased number of doctors, internes is 1 and nurses. "What I have done," concluded Si the governor, "is simply an index to Sc v-*hrt I will do in my next adminis- er I tration.
