t100 VOL XLV NO 97 NEWBERRY; S. C.. FRIDAY. DECEMBER 4, 1908. TWICE A WEEK. $1.50 A YEAR MANNING FOR GOVERNOR. Sumter Man Says he will be in Race. But it is Early to Talk Abon; Platforms. Columbia, December 2.--"Well, Mr. Manning. we see by today's pa pers that Mr. Featherstpnc has an ;iouneed his candiday for governor in 1Q10 on the platform uf State pro hibitior. How about vairself!" "It's a 'Tttle early to formulate platforms for 1910 in my .j idgmen." replied the Hon. Ri-hard I. Manna;:g, "but my friends know it is my ar;i tion to be governor of South Carolina, and my intention is to make the race in 1910. There are two seQsions of the legislature before tha: eamlpaig; opens, and the issues that will dhen be ripe cannot yet be -letermine." Mr. Manning came over from Sam ter today on his way to the marriage of a relative, and the question as to his candidacy was asked him by the reporter in view of the announcement in today's papers that Mr. C. C. Featherstone, of Laurens, would be in the race. It has been understood for some time that Mr. Maaning would be a candidate in 1910. He i; a plat form in himself, a man of high pur poses,- splendid business ability and most attractive personality. That he was not elected when he yas a candi date in 1906 was due, in 4-he judgment of ,a good many well-informed per sons,. to the fact that he would notI ehange his conscientious corvictions on the dispensary question and %tood fi&r the retention of the S'ACO dis pensary system. That question, how ever, is now out of the war and will probably be still further out of the .-.ay by 1910. As a member of tht State. senate. for eig,t years Mr. Man ning :devoted himself largely to con structive measures, and as a candi date for governor his campaign riill d6ubtless be along that line. With Messrs. Featherstone and Manning to select from the State in 1910 would be sure of securing a gov ernor of ability and high character It is not at all likely, however. that they will be the only candidates, and the-'fact that there are several dark %1rres tied out in the woods alreidy i generally understood. AgriculItural High School -Scheme Not New. There seems to be a disposition among edueators, agriculturists, poli ticians. prominent citizens and var ious anid sundr'r varieties of other more or less useful individuals to agi tate the establishment of agricultural high schools in this Staite. The cor reseondent of the News and (ourier moet the Hon. John J. McMahan oni t'M street 'this morning and his pres enee recalled to memory some. of the reeommelations made by Mr. Me M.ohan when he was superintendent of education six or eight years ago. "Your Agrienltural High School seeme seems to have plenty of origi nators now. Mr. MeMahian." remark ed the newspaper man. "(lad t-o see the plan is in such r ehi f:avor." replied Mr. McM.ahani - h his eharacteristic cheery philoso phv. "I want them all to favor it.'' "Did you not recommend a plan of1 the kind when you were State super ir'tendent of education.'' "Yes, over six years ago I made a re-ommendat.ion on that line, for t-v e'n county to have an Agrienltural rich School for boys and a Domes fr- Training S(-hool for girls. The 2-m T see spoken of now is somewhat different, providing for three highy schools in different parts of the State. I have advocated these high sehools . in all the c:ampaigns I have made ana (U l.et nmmmer in my race for the l egislature. I am preparing a bill to .that end, whieh I will introduce at the coming session. But I am glad to see Stha.t so many others are favoring the idea." he concluded.
