"When you speak on August 20th." he said, "semi Manning back to the bank In Sumter." lie attacked the Governor for having pardoned a man who stole nut nf his hank til Sumter and sahl that if a man sliot a bird he was tu he funshlercd a criminal, but if he stuie $.".l.ooo out of "King Richard V bank in Sumter, he was a gentleman.

Mr. Coopur told of hfs endorsement 1 1 \ Ills own home people and count.} and of | lie Mattering vote which he had received at their hands when he last made the ratv for governor, lie said that he was making the race .on his own qualifications ijrnl that he hadn't nought to discredit the qualifications of any. other man. He repeated with em phasis that ho stood now where he stood two years ago, "for the enforce ment of the law from the mountains to the sea." He promised that If a jury found a man guilty he would not dis turb that tlndlng unless In the interest of Justice, and said that he wanted no man's vote under false apprehension, lie maintained that people too often allow their sympathies to run away with their judgment and too often In their pity for the criminal forget the home embittered with sorrow by the action of that same criminal. "The law." Mr. Cooper said "should be ad ministered In behalf'of the man who re s pec les it." Mr. Cooper said that he considered the development of her educational Msfem to be the most important ques tion to South Carolina today. He be lieves that every school in South Car olina should furnish training equiva lent to the first two years of college work. He said that the constitution demanded that equal educational fa eilities he granted to nil districts and t'h a t he desired to have done that which the constitution demands to he done. He said that the scholarship system as It now stands In the various ??trite institutions gives special privi lege to about live per cent of the |K*<> ple and this he considers unjust. He think- that the schools of South Car olina should invite every hoy who Is willing to sign an obligation that he w ill .repay the money which the state sees. tit to Invent In IiJiii. v Tim s|>eakcr placed tu rank of iti.i - l?ortnnce ulniiu with the development of education tlie development of Utfi'l cultural resources.

The Coast R.

I think the people of the State real ize that he has fuulfilled Ids prom ises to an unusual degree and there fore those who voted for him two years ago because of these promisee ought to he ? and I believe with few exception^ are? -Immensely gratified and will use every effort to see that his work is ?Indorsed and acknowl edged and that he be given an oi> portunity of doing still more for the l>eople of the State. I think each day he is growing stronger -in the regard and esteem and affection of the public." Mr. Rhett is one of the best known business men in South Caro lina. In addition to his other con nections he is President of the Uni ted States Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Rhett has traveled extensively over the State and the above state ment froip him is significant and In dicates the great strength of Gover nor Manning with the people. u. A. U?.Lt\. 1>. A. Goer, a largo farmer and merchant of Helton, says: "Being in intimate touch with the j political situation in the. Piedmont Infirmly believe that Governor Man . 'ling's strength in- this section of the ~ State is growing daily regardless of wild claims to the contrary. At no (hue has his' chance for re-election" been brighter. Should he not be . nominated in the first primary over all his competitors, I am satisfied that he will rei>eat his splendid vie lory of two years ago when he de feated Mr. Iticiiards, by... an over whelming majority,, in the secofld primary. So far . as my own coun ty, Anderson, is concerned. I believe be win run a strong second in the first primary. The other Piedmont counties will give him a surprising ly large vote, and I am satisfied that those persons now claiming that Governor Manning is weak in the Piedmont will be greatly siin)r^ at his strength when the vote - counted. Why shouldn't he run strong in the Piedmont? He has certainly proven himself worthy. "Governor Manning's hard but un ceasing fight for law and order a"" bis success in restoring confidence in the, forces making for civic right eousness in South Carolina, his ear nest advocacy of social and indus trial justice, his successful for better educational facilities f?r the white boys and girls of the State. Phe economic measures passed under bis administration for improving tw <*ondltionfr surrounding our ror?' population, and the rcorgani*au<? of the State Hospital for the Insanf with Its modern, improved methods of treatment for the unfortunate j?" mates and the large saving in lars and cents as a result of?* economies practiced there by tae new administration, have caused to give my undivided support ..?* Governor Manning. I believe tb the majority of the people of Carolina agree with me that hw i gressive administration shooW. continued so that the greater* that he baa so well begun for w < order, education, and humanity be carried forward by him to a cessful conclusion."
