DIBBLE'S FIGURES.
We called attention sometime ago
to the figures being given out in
Columbia by the Manning politicians
and office-holders, advising our readers
not to be deceived thereby. It
becomes more evident as the campaign
progresses and nears its end
that the effort will be to keep Mr
Cooper out of the second race again
by eleventh hour estimates and all
kinds of figures, Dibble's and other
kinds. The daily papers, which are
taken by the people for the purpose
of getting information, by failing to
give extended accounts of the meet^
ings have contributed to the end,
sought by the Manning crowd. Mr.
Cooper was for a considerable time
consistently ignored in these reports
with no other purpose than to lead
the people to believe that he is not
a factor in the race. He has not had
a square deal.
And it is. easy to fool some people
with this kind of politics, but we .
were not ready to believe that an
experienced political writer like Colonel
Joe Sparks, correspondent for
some ten or more papers, could ?be
fthnR irrmosed unon. In fact we re
fused to believe it until we saw his
name signed to his Sunday letter, in
which he estimates that Manning
will carry every precinct form Punjab,
India, to Rio Verde, Mexico. It
seems that Governor Manning had
just gotten home from a week's
campaigning and the boys had gathered
to hear the report. Somehow it
was suggested that it would be a
good idea to give out some big figures
and thus boost the chances of
the governor. Not knowing this,
Colonel Joe imported his "system"
into the Governor's office, and it was
x at once "fulled" up with figures. In
fact when Joe got out, he had figures
in his breeches Docket, in his pistol
pocket, his coat pocket, his shirt
blouse, his shoes and several other
ploces, and he was talking figures to
beat the band.
And here are some of the figures
he gave to the public: ; i
"The indications point to a: small
plurality for Manning over Cooper in
Greenville county."
"In Anderson county it is generally
believed that Blease will get a
majority of approximately 800 votes
over Manning and Cooper with Man*
ning second choice."
In Greenwood county Mannipg
will probably lead with Blease and
/ Cooper running a close race for second
place, the bets being placed
on Cooper."
It is evident to us that Colonel Joe
got some of hifc figures up-side-down
and some of them were put in the
wrong place. We can only say that
if he is as badly mistaken about the
other counties as he is about those
named above, the Cooper men had
as well get ready for Cooper's election
on the first ballot. Brother
Browne, of the Anderson Daily Mail',
suggests to Colonel Sparks that
instead of being third- in Anderson
county Cooper will lead Manning by
2,000 to 2,500 votes, "and may be
more." And that will be about the
way it will be in the other counties
named.
In order that the people may
kno^ in-the future just how much
dependence is to be placed in Joe's
figures, we have filed them away and
. when the election is over, we will
' publish them along with the results.
In the meantime every friend of
Mr. Cooper must be on the watch
to see that people are not deceived

Columbia. Mr. Cooper would be the
Governor of the state today but for
the fact that he was defeated by
eleventh hour estimates heralded
about the state two years ago in the
interest of the man who would now
succeed by these methods. The
people of the state owe it to themselves
to put the stamp of their disapproval
on this kind of politics.
The people of the state demand a
square deal, 'will we get it?
DR. NEUFFER ANNOUNCES.
Dr. G. Neuffer is announced as
a candidate for the House of Repre- ^
sentatives. He joined the campaign C
in Antreville yesterday and is mak- a
ing the people acquainted with his 11
views on all 'public questions. Dr. v
Neuffer is a practicing physician of
high standing in the county, and is t
known all over the state. Should *(
he be elected he will make a useful *
member of the lower house. His in- <j
formation as to medical matters will ft
ho nf errant, assistance where lecrisla
tion for the public health is concerned,
and his usefulness will not Cl
be confined to these matters. He is v,
a man of sound judgment and good
common sense and will look aftet all
interests with fidelity. /

A CHANGE OF DATE. F
Editor Press and Banner: g
Through the columns of your pa- f,
per, I wish again to call the attention
of the gentlemen and ladies who c]
contemplate going lo Tennessee on e
the Educational train which will be ^
run for the benefit of the farmers
and business men of Abbeville, An- ?
derson and other counties, to the fol- y
lowing:
The train was scheduled to run ^
originally Aug. 8th, but on account
of the recent floods, the road authori- v
ties were forced to defer the trip un- ^
til Aug. 21st, however, I received the
following announcement today:
"On account of the fact that the
Southern Railroad will have its annual
Mountain and Seashore Excur
sion during the week of Aug. 21st, g
the Passenger Department has dated 0,
our Farmers' Excursion to Sept 4th, q
instead of August 21st g/
While we regret this delay, we will jr(
assure you that the train will run on 0
this date and we are advised by the 0]
Knoxville people that the trip will be j,
very much more profitable in Septem- ^
ber than it could be at any time in ^
August. This means that our tickets
will extend from Sept 4th to Sept ^
11, instead of Aug. 21st, to Aug. 28.
Please keep in mind the change of
dates, and I might state also that it ff
is quite likely that all parties going $
from Abbeville County will find it j,.
necessary to go to Anderson on the..
afternoon of the 3rd, in order to be ^
on time to catch the train out of An- ~
derson on the morning of the 4th. ?

THE RAIN AT CASHIER'S. ai
**
To the Editor of The State:
It may interest your readers to 18
know the rain gauge record of the T<
rainfall in this mountain region during
some of the worst days of the re- 18
cent season of flood. So far as I r(
know there never before was any- P1
thing nearly equal to it But, accus- ~
tomed though we are to heavy and Ei
frequent rains, we never before were
visited by such deluges^ as fell during
July of 1916. Here are some figures Nl
as registered by a regulation rain
gauge in Cashier's valley:
On Saturday, July 8, four and a 01
quarte# inches. ac
ThItt Q a froiifinn rtvpr
WU OUUUOJjBlU/ V, ? ......... -
11 inches. r"
On Monday, July 10, three and a
quarter inches. i
So you see we had over a foot and
a half of rain in three days. But, ce
11 inches in one day! Doesn't that ^
break the record?
We had rain every day during July
and on Sunday, July 16, the gauge
registered four and three-quarters j"
inches; on other* days the rainfall
varied from a quarter of an inch to
an inch and a half.
The febove mentioned extraordinary
rains were not caused by socalled
cloudburts in Cashier's valley. The
whole mountain country was subject
ea to me same aeiuge.
If any of your readers knows of ""J
any rainfall record to equal that of
11 inches in 24 hours, I hope he will ^
communicate it to The State. Eight Ai
inclres was the highest record here fo
until Sunday, July 9. W. C. B. so
