Manning^tates Views
On Question of Repeal
Columbia, Sept. 1.?dtevlflon of tho
?|,ting <iu.rt-.-mo.rtl, taw to oon,
,? with modern conditions was
'?LMJ today by Wyndhtm M
Manning. uf Sumter? ??ndid?t? for
Jvernor. us the first legislative step
? repeal takes effect. -
After reiterating his challenge to
- ther eiintlidates to state their pogit
ion '"v repeal, Manning outlined
f. ltn?ii)inendationa for tho future
mlruj ,.y liquor in South Carolina,
'"'flie' Sumter county representative,
#vowed re pea list, made the folf
towing proposal:
let us divorce the question
0f beei s and light* wines from the
jiugm problem, and make the distribute":
of thosof'fceY.cruges simple
inij cheap, as is now the case with
, U2 pi-1 vent beer. t
"Then let us for tho present .revise
the old quart-a-month law to
which we revert upon repeal of the
18th amendment to conform to present
developments and leave that in
operation until it proves unsatisfac'
tory.
"In tho meantime, a close study
of the Canadian plan (of liquor con;
trol) should be made with a view
to adapting it to our local needs, and
of putting every possible safeguard
ground it to prevent graft pnd steal"
ing," Manning said.
Mr. Manning's fjall statement fol
lows:
"I wish to again state that I be'
lieve it to be the duty of a candidate
^ for public office to state frankly to
the people bow he stands and what
he believes on public questions. It is
nol sufficient for him to claim, that
everyone knows where he stands'; let
him state where he stands in clear
English so that all may know with
certainty his position. Nor is it
enough tor him to say that he believes
in letting the people have what
they want.' What candidate docs not
profess that?
"Nor ran the candidate claim the
secrecy of the ballot. The private
citizen has the right, and is under no
compulsion to say what he thinks or
, how he votes. But an announced
candidate for high public office is not
a private citizen.' By his candidacy
he aspires to leadership, and,-, must
prove his willingness to lead. A leader
should not fear to let his people
i know what is in his heart and mind.
The people have a right to the benefit
of his advice, whether they accept
it or no.
"For these reasons I am determin
ed to state my views on each public
issue as it arises; not because I claim
' to be infallible, but because I believe
that those whom I ask to vote for me
have a right to know my views. So
1 have repeatedly announced that I
expect t>> vote on November <th for
repeal of the 18th amendment to the
[" federal ((institution; and I have invited
i:,c other announced candidates
for the governorship in 1934 to clearly
and - niply announce how they in!
tend tn cast their ballots. I again
' invite them to take the. people into
their confidence i^id to give the people
the benefit of their advice.
"A second question, and one which
will almost certainly be an issue in
the I 'M campaign, is "How will
South Carolina - handle th? liquor
question after repeal?"
"The loaders of the anti-repeal
force;; have demanded that the people
be told by those voting for repeal
what plan for control would be
offered after repeal. I propose to
meet that challenge.
"Or? that question also the people
arc or.t.tied to full knowledge of the
sentiments of the candidates, and I
prop. to state my ideas clearly and
frar.k . so that all may know my
star..} .nd again I invite the other
card.- to be specific.
"! . let us divorce the question
of and light wines from the
kqu- blem,.' and make the distribt.
of those beverages (beers
ar; . . ai wines) simple and cheap
[. a- ... -be case with 3.2 beer."
tor us for the present redd
'quart-a-month' law to
revert upon repeal of the
he r. amendment to conform
developments and leave

rev, hubbert green, pasture
rehober church,
flat roek, s. C,
deer pasture:
suppose you saw by the papers
where i was kidnaped a few days 1
while slopping my 2 hogs, well i am
still hell by them and am suffering all
kinds ofv miseries and want to get aloose
and go home to my darling
wife and hogs at once and i peed yore
help. - *
t
i have rote my wife tvyiste to raise |
the ransom monnoy and put it in the !
'stump be.hind the s^npke-house, but j
it Seems that she can't raise same, !
as none has showed up in the stump !
a-cording to pete, tbp bandit, who
lias called there ever day since i was
ketched and fetched here.
one of my kidnapers has just walked
in and dictated this to me to rite
to you: "parson green: we mean
bixness. yore deacon mike Clark, rfd
is still alive, we will cut his ransom
down to if you all will act
quick, call a meeting of yore members
^nd Jake up a collection at once,
or get biizy digging a grave for him.
signed, joe, the kid."
bro. groen, you see how dangerous
i am of getting bumped off. these
men look meaner and meaner everday.
sooky, the cook, feecjs me on
the sly fairly well, get what monney
my wife has raised and put it with 1
what you can raise and put it in the;1
stump, they will let you all pay me 1
out on installments, but i don't look ;
for them to cut it down ho more.
don't let our poleesman know that j
i have rote you. they say if i call
in the law, my end will be over, so ;
keep it a secret?except with my wife |
and yore congregation who will chip
in to raise the ransom, i can sympathize
vyith them other big men who ,
have benn kidnaped; It is awful to
behold, i am still hell up in the loft
of a shack with my eyes bound up.
bro. green, i know i can count on
you. while i was free, i always hQpe
you; i took up the collections and
when a pounding was being done at
yore house, i took up a nice hunk of
beef on ever occasion, i hope my
wife aint worrying about me; she
Hint bud to worry much, especially
Hbout me, but this is a verry serious
offense against mo- rit-e or foam all
of yore member* who can raise monney
and plese come to my sucker at
once. i
yore devoted deacon,
mike Clark, rfd
Mike's kidnapers Have Not Yet
Been Contacted.
deer wife:
my kidnapers are getting desperate
and it looks dark for mo unless
the ransom is fourth-coming at once,
they have cussed me a right smart j
for not getting no more interest
worked up jn my disappearance from
home and' they say everboddy acta
like they are glad about it.
- 1 . ' '
see if you can't get one of our leading
bootleggers to contact my kid- j
naperat and if you can't get a bootlegger,
hunt up an ex-conviet: it
seems that crimmernals can contact
kidnapers better than niybody else,
bert allston would make a good man;
he's is the one what killed bog lowe
I and stole his cow.
pete, the bandit, has just returned
[back from the old stump behind the
smokehouse empty-handed and he is
warm under the collar, he has toldme
to rite to you all as followers:
"woman, we will take no more tri-%
fling, but will cut the ransom down
to 10$, and if it ain't in that old
stump by friday night, we will cut
his throte in too."/6
well, i have about give up the gost.
i will leave my will in my pocket,
leaving everthing to you. plese berry,
me by your side when i die. i don't
blame you for not raising ransom
monney,, as you would have to sell
the cow, and she is wortjh more to
you than i am. sooky is still nice to
me ana we are getting chummy, she
is a blond, and wassent for her, my
kidnapping would be terrible.
darling wife, plese keep all of my
dogs fed good and don't forget to
slop the hogs, if my ransom monney
> is raised, i will- be home to yore buzzum
again in the near future, it is j
hard to be sepperrated from you on-|
| ner count of being kidnapped, but
don't blame it on me. if i had the |
monney, i would pay them off myself,
but i am broke, as you know; you
"took my last cent out of my britches
pocket the night befoar.
sooky has just fetched me a cigar
rT
and i am enjoying same. she is
smoking a cigarette and i? enjoying
same, i will try to bribe her tomorrow
to turn me a-loose, and if she
do, i will join you as soon as possible,
she has give up getting anny ransom
monney. she thought i was rich at
first, keep tugging for me.
yore devoted husband,
mike Clark, rfd.
Thre eto Go to Chair;
Women Get Long Time
(Chicago,/ Auk. 31.?Hardly had a
woman been voted u sentence of 199
years by a jury which sent her sweetheart
to the electric chair before
John Scheck was sentenced by JudKe
Henry H. Milieu* today to*me on October
Id for the murder of policeman
John Seviek in a courtroom.
The same date was selected recently
for the execution of Morris t'.ohen,
killer of another policeman in a navy
pier holdup.
Hast night, Oeorge 1 tale,'rkiller of
an aged .haberdasher in a robbery became
the third to get the death penalty
in a week. His two confederates,
.Mrs. Kleanor Jnrman, "blonde
tigress," and Beo Minneci were sentenced
to 199 years in pnisor\
Scheck killed Seviek in a daring
break from the bullpen of the county
jail. Immediately after the date was
fixed, Mrs. liose Scheck, the killer's
mother, was arraigned on a charge
of smuggling to' her son the pistol
with which he killed Seviek.
The jury fixed the penalty for Mrs.
Jurman and Minneci at 199 years to
prevent release by parole. Parole is
impossible until one-third of the sentence
has been served. Mrs. Jarman
would be 95 and (Minneci 93 years old
then. ?
With similar purpose, several
years ago, Nathan I/eopold, Jr., and
RichaAf Loeb were sent to Joliet penitentiary
for terms of "life plus 99
years" for the murder of Bobby
Franks. ^
One girl, 19, was killed and seven
persons were.injured when an automobile
hit a wagon on a New Jersey
road during an early morning fog.
Before the accident could be straightened
out four oilier cars had smashed
into the first wreckage.

Why Let Ballyhoo Deny You The SAFETY-FREEDOM FROM ROT AND RATTLES That Only

Consider The Trade-in of A Wood Body 6-Cylinder Car When The Last Manufacturer Changes To
, The Inevitable Steel Body Eight
Of course, it is more expensive to make an all-steel body than to make a wooden frame and nail steel panels on to it. The
better way involves an initial expenditure of several millions of dollars for new dies, which renders a change very costly. I
Cars, especially large expensive cars which are produced in small volume, cannot afford this, because the dies cost as much ,
1 for one car as for a million. That alone explains why all-steel bodies are-not used in all cars.
