The latest flection returns indicate that Mr. Richard I. Manning and Mr. John G. Richards will l?e in the sec ond primary for the office of^overnor of Mouth Carolina. A serious situation confronts the people of the Statu today and mOroentQUB Issues are to he de cided by their ballots in the coming election. Hroadnilnded and patriotic, Mr. Man ning Is pre-eminently the man best suited for this high and responsible position. With Mr. Manning in the executive chair South Carolina will have an honorable, christian gentle man at the helm who will protect the rights of the humblest citizen with the same loyalty as he will that of the rich man. Personally The Chronicle has no light to make against Mr. Richards, but politically he. is not the exponent of that which 'is lK*st for the intople of South Carolina and therefore would be a inlstit in the governor's chair, and the fact that Mr. Itlcliards already has the Important position of Railroad Commissioner for four years longer where he can render valuable services to the iM?ople If he will, should be suf ficient argument to leave him where he Is and place lie the governor's chair a man who will lift South Carolina to that blub and honorable plane to which she Is so much entitled .

Am many an .'1,000 have been shot in a Mingle day on a inai'Mh of tVOO'aeres, It Is abso llltcly harmless, breeds only in places not rtultcd for agricultural. purnos.es, and If given a fair chance will survive as a game bird loljg after many others have lieen eouipellcd t < ? give way be fore the advance of agriculture. lnj. mediate steps should he taken by the states to decrease the hag limit for the Mora. i The rails are marsh or meadow breedlng birds, and differ from the era lios In appearance and hahltH al though they l?elong to tyie same fam ily, There are valuable rails beside* the sora, some of which can 'probably maintain their numbers In {<plte of per secution, since they are secretive and spend most of their time well conceal ed In rank swamp vegetation. Halls ^needing in salt marshes, however; need more effeetive protection, although they are not in as much danger as 1h the sora. The department's biologist thinks that they should be allowed to breed In peine, and that the robbing of their nests, particularly of clapper rallii, should be prohibited. The%voot is a member of the rA i 1 family and has a wide range over the United States. Although it Is much despised by many hunters who class It with the crow as a food bird. It Is a delicacy. After this 'bird has been fattened on wild rice, which Is" the best of all duck foods, It apjtealM much more to. the taste than when It has fed for many weeks on -the animal life of the salt water marshes. There are 21 kinds of rails and their cousins the cranes, coots, and gafli-, nules In the United States. Some are migratory and some are not. Much misunderstanding has risen in regard to the powers of ilight of certain of these birds. The sora's flight is so slow and labored that the bird seems unable to fly long distances, and some writers have even supposed that it in formed its migration on foot. As a matter fact, the sora often travels not less than ? 2,?S00 miles and sometimes as much as 3,000, Great numbers jaf them make the hundred-mile flight be tween Florida and Cuba and there is every reason to believe that some easb ly cover the 500-mile passage from' Florida to Yucatan. Precise information as to the ranges of the North American cranes, rails and others of this family is given in a new bulletin of the United States de partment of agriculture. This is a pro* fessional paper, and Is hardly of gen eral Interest. > However, It furnishes data that should be valuable as a basis for protective legislation in the re spective states where these valuable game birds are found.

Baltimore, Md., Aug. 18 ?The- ntory " f how 60 iKtrsons i ioiiik'i down from Boston to Baltimore got a peep at the ?-dge of the war cloud which hangs over 'In- Atlantic and saw a hit of llghtnihg Hash oijt from it wa* told this morn l,IK l,v Benjamin F. Hatch of the Merchants and Miner*' steamer l '"ichester, which. crawled into Haltf more lit 0:50 n. in., today. While the Dor<hcsty/ steamed ajoiig between Fire Island Llght?hip and Barnegnt Light. Just ,i little north of Atlantic City, ?n Thursdoy afternoon, there were three flashes from the aide of rt squat, dark silhouette rut on the Waters and three booms of the hi# guns <>f a warship whleh was growling at the Dorchester. The growling stopped rft? I.v when the Stars and Stripes lint jeml up. to the peak of the Merchants "nd Miners' steamer. Passengers crowded at the rail of the Dorchester, got a close view of a British ship of ivur for action with the sun touching her guns, and the figures of men moving in dark groups about her decks. Steamer Trailed For Three Hours. ' We first saw the ship at 1 :30 o'clock In the afternoon," said Captain Hatch. "She was miles away then, out on the horizon. Nobody thought she was a warship. She continued to trail us from 1 :30 until 4 :30 o'clock. I was not flying my ensign, Imt I had my !><"?! Hag up and I suppose<l that If the ship wanted to know anything about me that would tell her. "As she continued to follow us and drew nearer, we began to suspect that she was" a warship, hut we didn't ex pect any excitement. We had just Itassed Fire Island Lightship and the passengers hud roused up In their steamer chairs long enough to take a b>ok at the men on that ship and then settled down again when there was a boom and a flash from the boat which bad been following us, and we realized that It was meant for us. Passengers Weren't Frightened. "The passengers were all interested ot once. 1 here, was nfl fear because everybody knew that we were in no danger and that blanks were being fired at us. But there was considerable excitement, a desire to see one of the ships actually ready for war pas sengers left their chairs and lined up ?t the rail, and those who had glasses hurriedly got them out. "Then two more shots came in quick succession, these charges much heavier than the first had been. We got the Stars and Stripes out, and as soon as the flag fluttered up to the' masthead the firing ceased; But before that the People on our deck had got a good V cw of Die ship. I could see through the glasses her big guns and her decks cleared, but 1 couldn't make out her name, nor could I be sure of her na tionality, but I believe that she was I either the British Cruiser Suffolk or I the British cruiser Essex. I think those two ships are patrolling the At lantlcm Coast, one taking ?p the pa- 1 trol while the other goes into Halifax to coal. - Colors Satisfy Warrior. "After we had displayed oiir colors! the warship signaled 'Pleasant voyage' and droppejl behind, and before sunset she was out of sight. It was a verv unusual experience tor us. though, to run into even a blank cartridge when coming down our own coast' not much more than 11 miles out from Atlantic J. .There were two other vessels' apparently merchantmen, four miles nearer to shore than we were, and as we drew out of sight of the warship wo ww them heading toward her. I suppose they were going to give an uceount of themselves." ' These June Brides. ? "Ma'am, here's a man at the door with a parcel for you." "What is it, Bridget?" "It's a fish, ma'am, and it's marked C. O. D." "Then make the man take it back io the dealer. 1 ordered trout." ? Bx ? He Was Older Then. ? "Why look here," said the merchant who was in need of a boy, "aren't you the same boy who was Hi here a week ago?" "Yes, sir," said the applicant. "I thought so. And vMdn't I tell you then that I wanted an older boy?" ''Yes, sir. That's why I am back. I'm older now." Thanhs the Voters and Mr. Johnson.

Ami now I wish thua publicly to ex press my own persoual gratitude to one who has dona mora than any other to bring about the election of myself and my colleague, Mr. Martin. I feel that those citizens who are pleased at our nomination should offer their Ap preciation and thanks to Mr. 11. T. Johnson for hiH patriotic course 111 withdrawing from the raee to make sure the election of those whom he felt represented the things he stood for. Mr. Johnson saw the dangers ahead, as we ait saw them, and from the ear* neatness of his desire that what he considered the right side should win was horn the patriotic resolve to sac rifice himself and his good chances for the. sake <?f the cause and I thank him and honor him. Nor did he withdraw after trying to effect any elimination scheme among us. He dropped out of the race on his own motion, after learning that 1 felt as he did about the danger before the ticket -we were both advocating and after 1 had ex pressed my willingness to draw lot?j, among us nil as to which one of us should withdraw. My friends und Mr. Martin's friends should not soon forget this getieroua act of Mr. Johnson. " ;7f, aureus T. Mills. o From Mr. McDowell.
