E0 ? At la.st work has been commenced ,J>n the nw sidewalk on Greenville street. There have been many excuses and many delays, but the work 'is now in progress. The street working force has cut down the trees at V' the corner of Uncle Jim's lot, and the honey-suckle vine has been cleared away. Uncle Jim may now sit on his front porch (that is when he gathers the corn out of his new . -v roasting ear patch) and look out on the stylish people who walk up and down the most noted street in the city. He is already feeling that he is a different man, and is thinking of commencing parting his hair in the middle. We do not know that it is true, ' but we hear that one of the arguments used to persuade the city fa ihers to commence the work on this street was the threat of Judge M. E. Hollingsworth and Col. Bill Cason to move from upper Main unless b - two sidewalks were built on Green ville street, or one abandoned on Jw-?\ ' their street ,so as to make it as nearly like Greenville street as posi' v." sible. We give it to our readers for V what it is worth. We hope that Editor Hortin will not be disappointed now that the city council, under the urging of The Press and Banner, has really shown faint signs of progress in 1 matters municipal. There is really no reason why he should leave town r on this account, as Uncle Jim now . feels justified in calling himself a Greenville street man, although he t-s.. IM 111 it iii& recently sold his cotton for thirty! cents about two hours before it advanced to thirty-two. On the day after the new sidewalk is finished, we are going to invite Cousin Percy down, and he and Cousin Davis have promised us that with walking sticks carried at attention, they will amble up and down the new walkway from six to six, with an hour off for dinner, andj time and a half for overtime. They stand first out for a walk on the new! traveled place. GOVERNOR MANNING'S SONS J Greenwood Journal. Former Governor Blease has assumed the role of critic to the army uniform during the past week in villifying .Governor Manning's six sons who are now in the service of flieir country. Mr. Blease has given as one of his reasons for failure to appear at the regular senatorial meetings the "abuse" which is heaped upon him by his opponents, thus trying to create the impression tnai lie is above such tactics. But is lie? Well, listen to this, quoted from the Charleston American's report of a recent speech made by him: "The governor brags that! he has five sons in the army. It is so. Yet all of them are strutting about i in pretty uniforms and holding com-J missions and are in no more danger of meeting bullets than this electric light under which I stand." The Columbia State yesterday morning in its news columns published the following complete answer to Mr. Blease's baseless stat-ements: That the public may know the truth of the matter the following J information as to the standing and whereabouts of Governor Manning's sons is published: HXTT ot TUT : 00 !

Upon the declaration of war with Germany he again enlisted as a private. Subsequently he went to a training camp and won a captain's commission. He is now in active service on the front in France. "Vivian Manning is 32 years old. He was a successful business man in Greenville. He closed up his business and volunteered as a private. He is stil la private and is at Camp Taylor, Louisville, Ky.

He served in Alaska, and went to the border as captain of a company of cavalry raised in j Charleston. When he returned fromthe border he was assigned as an in- j structor at Oglethorpe and has beenj promoted to be major. He, too, if j not on his way to the Western front j will not be long in going.

The whole trouble lies in that "Manless!" How can there be a drama without a black haired, sparkling eyed hero? And when you take the hen-pecked husband out of comedy, why, "there ain't no such thing" But! In the cast appears Sergeant Hilton of the Royal Rifles. "The Antreville Manless Club" just had to find a man, even if Mfas Myrtle j Crowther has to play the part. e* FRENCH MOTHERS MOURN AMERICANS American Heroes of Second Battle of Marne Are Buried With Honors. Paris, July 26.?Four, five and in many cases, six thousand miles from their maternal hearth, the American dead, heroes of the second battle of the Marne who have succumbed from grievous wounds in Paris hospitals, are mourned daily by French mothers, sisters and fathers who feel the emotions of these heroes' kindred at home. Daily, the funerals leave the city hospitals for the little Suresnes cem-j etery dedicated to Americans by the city of Suresnes, located on a hill on the west of Paris, overlooking the French metropolis. Daily, the republican guard in thei. picturesque a> d historic military attire march forth to the funeral to bestow France's regard upon these Ameri can heroes, and though no volley is j fired because it is forbidden by the French authorities, the American bugler sounds "taps" with impressive toning. A service is first held in the little chapel in the hospital. Protestant chaplains officiate over the dead of their faith and Catholic over theirs, the hospital organization such as can be spared, including nurses, orderlies, clerks and doctors, attend the service. The bodies are borne from the; chapel to waiting ponderous armyj motor trucks. The republican guard j and the marines form an escort. As each body to the conveyance, these military units execute "present arms." When all the dead have been placed upon their military bier, the procession to the cemetery starts, j At the head are the chaplains in: motor car's. Then follow the motor truck and last the guard honor. The coffins are draped with American flags. Each one bears two wreaths, one given- by the republic of France and another by the city of Paris. Tricolor ribbons bind the wreaths. In letters of gold, the ribbons are marked "Aux Defenseurs de la Patrie." The little procession winds its way ^ along the boulevards. The French _ know its significance. Without ex- e] ception as it passes, every pedestrian stops, uncovers and bows in homage ^ to the American heroes. w Reaching the summit of the hill of s( Suresnes, the interment of the ? bodies begins. A crowd of French w mothers and sisters gathers at the g graves. They reverently listen to ej the chaplains pronounce the last ej words, and heavy of heart, they feel ej the experience of those thousands of miles away. "~r ~*r"' . The American bugler takes his place and slowly and feelingly ^ sounds "taps." The assemblage is ei moved to tears. At the final tone, ol the command is given and the mili- ir tary escort returns to its post in the hi city. The mothers and sisters re- th turn to their homes feeling the pi heaviness of th6 cOhimittal of the bi American heroes to the grave. Their a] thoughts are carried to the mothers ei and sisters back home. m The Suresnes cemetery is the gift di of the Suresnes municipality to the ii American arm v. It is beautifully situated in the midst of a cluster of t} trees. The city of Paris can be ^ viewed from the location. The walks f, are arranged in the form of a cross. The surveying was done by t( American engineers. e; WOULD FIND DOORS CLOSED AGAINST HIM * . . tl Sentiment of Senatorial Meeting Pronounced Against Ex-Governor and Pro-Germanism. SI Hampton, July 29.?Candidates for the United States Senate con- h tinued their advance against Blease- d ism and disloyalty in Hampton to- t. day, where they addressed morei h than 600 persons and the sentiment 11 was pronounced and emphatic in v support of candidates whose loyalty to tne national administration has not been brought into question. b Senator Christie Benet spoke in n no uncertain terms as to the wel- c come which would await Mr. Blease s at the White House should the peo-. s pie of South Carolina send him to I the United States senate, after hav- I ing villified President Wilson as he had and who had said since the war r was declared that the blood of ev- I fr " The Rosei Department Sk Special 25 Per Ci tent Leather tiful new la?

Mr. Blease I ad boasted four months after the q ar that he was not afraid of Wil- ^ m. In the face of such utterances,' The doors of the White House ould be closed against him," Mr. j ^ enet said. Loyalty was like an n *g, Mr. Benet said. An egg was 0 ther good or bad and loyalty was a ther sound or unsound..

The plan is to j ave the American government oria le allied government fix a minimum! t' rice below which cotton shall not p 3 allowed to drop and to purchase II cotton that must be sold. Mr. let says. The hope is to have the ^ lachinery in operation by the time istress cotton begins to move this, h The people were warned against i a le utterances of the Charleston,^ merican.

He had done what. e could to dissuade Judge Haskell1 nd he refused to vate for him. Nor ad he voted the Palmer-Buckner lectoral ticket as had been basely harged. lu I Blease had set about to organize he slackers of South Carolina at he outbreak of the war and to rystalize slacker sentiment to adance himself in State politics, said rlr.
