Manning To Make Governor's Race Wyndham M. Manning, momber of the house from Sumter and recognised a* one of the outstanding loaderg of the general assembly, Tuesday night announced his candidacy for governor in the Democratic promary of 19&4. He the son of the late Governor, Richard I. Manning and Mrs. Manning, and makes his home near Stateburg, where ho is a dirt farmer. A graduate of West Poipt, 1913, Mr. Manning served in the Regular Army Infanty in Alaska and Texas but resigned, und was engaged in teaching at Pinopolis, Berkeley county, when tho emergency arose on the Mexican border and National Guardsmen were sent to the scene. Ho became captain of the Oharleston Light Dragoons and commanded tho troop until it was mustered out. He had been serving as commandant at Porter Military Academy only a few months when the United States entered the World War. He went to the first training camp at Fort Oglethorpe, became captain-instructor, and after graduation was assigned to the 15Gth Field Artillery, soon becoming major and adjutant. Overseas he was promoted to lieutenantcolonel and assigned to the 317th Field, Artillery, with which he served tho remainder of the war, commanding the outfit with that^rank when the colonel was detached. Upon returning to civilian life he was in business in Columbia for a while and then went to Sumter county, where he has since farmed. He is serving his second term in tho general assembly. His announcement was brief: "I am offering myself as a candidate for governor in the Democratic ' primary of 1934. From time to time! as issues arise I expect to do I j have done in the past, express myself j fully and frankly so that the people, of the state may know where I stand. I shall continue my efforts in behalf of simplicity, economy and honesty in government." Burning Field Litter Starts Forest Fires It is common practice in <South Carolina to burn off old fields pre- , vious <to breaking the land. Agri- ] culturists are in agreement that turn- < ing under the rubbish is far better ] for the soil than burning, especially , if the land is broken early, and early j breaking is always preferable. But burning off fields, like burning off woods, is a difficult practice to stop. It is of coures needless to lot the field fires spread into the woods. A little precaution is all that is neccessary. Most of the fires spread from field to forest where the farmer burns! out fence rows. If the litter to be, burned is piled and all combustible j matter between the piles and the for-i est removed, the fires can be held in place. i It is foolish to burn the tieids on windy days. Fire control is then very , difficult and the damage is often , enormous. Fencing is often burned. If it is a wire fence some may not be aware that the fire seriously damages the wire so that it will rusit and last a comparatively short time. Of course the posts and all wooden parts of a fence are destroyed or seriously damaged. A good many farmers still believe that burning off the woods decreases the danger from crop insects, especially the oat ton boll weevil. It has been repeatedly shown that the boll weevil does not spend the winter ; among the leaves and litter of the , forest floor, but hibernates largely under the bark, in crevices, knot holes and other dry places where the forest fires cfoes not reach. Farmers who are indifferent to forest fires do not realize that tree seedlings are killed outright; that tires, cause scars on trees that start rot and insect damage; that flres de- ' stroy humus and plant food the trees need; that leaves and litter are needed <?n the forest floor to store rainfall for the need of trees and for. J storing water to supply springs and; that by-nod over forests cause! _-rcn*er -tirfaco flow <?f water and 1 ero-;..:: - jits that ruins the land; ami ch<.k?-^ the streams; that natural! growl;, i- ur.?i?*r tne trees, especially the be-t grazing grasses are kept; front g OA.r.g. If farmers generally realized these facts, wilful burning ?>f the forest would never be under-J taken and accidental fires would bo j promptly suppressed.?Ovaries W. Nixu-, County Forester.

Harrington, director of the Mcdill School of Journalism at Northwestern University, today said that the banking emergency "through which our country has just passed has again proved conclusively that there is no substitute for the news- j paper." "Panic and hysteria have been averted by the newspapers' prompt, complete and unemotional chronicle of j what has happened," he said. "There is, of course, no doubt that the radio served effectively alongside the newspapers," Professor Harrington said, "but it has not supplanted the work of the Washington correspondent on the scene. Because It is limited in ownership, the radio cannot have access to every home, but daily papers are read by thousands who do not own radios, but who have access to an inexpensive newspaper. The newspaper has been able to supply a detailed, permanent record, a record verified and brought up to date by trained investigators who never left the job." "Press associations have carried the tidngs of thS moratorium to every nook and cranny of our Land, so that the newspaper office has become the most important distribution center of every community, and from it has issued the complete and correct interpretation of the situation in Washington, and the explanation of how the moratorium will affect individual business enterprises and every citizen." "It would have been a calamity indeed," he added, "if there had been a moratorium on newspapers! Panic and hysteria have been averted by the newspapers' prompt, complete and unemotional chronicle of what has happened. Newspapers have given the American citizens an unparalleled demonstration of cooperation and unstinted service for the general good, and have furnished the raw material of sound public opinion." Henry Francis Hoffman, 27, a sailor of Fort Myer, Va., is held by the police of S^n Diego, Cal., for observation as to his sanity. Hoffman called police and told them that he had kill- f ed a youth and they would find hit body in a hotel room. The body was discovered. He explained that on shore leave he met a boy in a beer garden. I>ater he awoke and suddenly decided to kill somebody and be hanged for it. He choked the boy to death with a belt. , County Supply BilHi Read in the House!
