U>34 MANN1N(J AND BI.EASB | Up to the opening of the state'camp,iKn .1 looked <u if John?t<m, who came so near winning four years ago, wan far in the lead in the gubernatorial race; but, us the campaign develop* and a* the candidates journey from county *c?t to county seat in their public appearances, it begins to look a. if he is losing ground and that Hlease and Manning are coming rapidly to the foi efrout. Johnston is a pleasant enough fellow, apparently clean in wind and limb, and up to the beginning of the campaign there seemed to be a sentimental trend toward him, largely because of the discrepancies down at Charleston four years ugo; but ultet having come out bone-dry in the middle portion of the state at the beginning M the speaking tour, he vacillated when he got to wet Chaileslon. Too, when the campaign began he announced on the stump that he was seeking "re-election," but when he got to Charleston he made little of the olTense (if any) committed against him there when illackwood was counted in and he vfas counted out. Because of these things, and because, Lou, he can t measure up , with men like Manning and lllease, j it seems that he is losing much of j his popularity and that South Caio-j lma will this year see another Manning-Blouse contest loi the high office of Co\crnoi of South Carolina. Sober-minded people are beginning to realize that even though Mr. Johnston might have been counted out four years ago, that fact alone does not lit him for the governorship, and the vulei> are "looking 'em over" this year as they have not for a long time. They realize that this year of all times we need to elect a gutcinor w ho know> South C arolinu and its roods; a man of experience, character and ability; it man who will 111 these tr\:ng t Miie" protect the sore:y burdened ta\pa>?r, and who pn--esses the ba? kboiie, t!.e fore.-igiit oi.d the ,(i\e for in- people that Will enable : ; m to it aU a- .lit" a br.gh'ei' day. 1IAKI.KV I'll 1*1 MAN \ titer.-, a- a iu'.e, don't lay much 111; tile I deUtOIUl111-(iUVC1'lior. 1 t at h I-. . a highly important lie j.: eM.il" o-.er the State ,v:i;t;i.

V Capital Observations (Special Correspondence) Washington, July 10.?In addition i to many historic and imposing sights within the District of Columbia there are numerous interesting place# nearby, notably among which may be mentioned the Croat Calls of the Potomac, one of the most majestic in the Cast. Situated a few miles up the river from Washington, the falls are easily reached by available trans-j portation means. There may be seen the remains of a null i\nd foundry established by George Washington in 17#5, and also around the falls a canal built by him. This is the only engineering work still in existence that was done by Washington. * . One pertinent fact in connection with the designation of Claud N. Sapp as United States Attorney for the eastern district of South Carolina is his unremitting efforts in the support: of Franklin D. Roosevelt for nomina-1 tion at Chicago two years ago, and it may also Ix? mentioned that Sapp lias been quite close to James A. harley, the chairman of the national Democratic committee. In,view of the pronounced opposition of Senator L. D. Smith it is hinted that the appointment is only complimentary, to last ! only untih Congress meets again, but that is only a surmise. In the Senate, they ha\e a way of respecting th.? wishes and perogatives of a senator, and where one avers that an appointee is "personally obnoxious", confirmation is withheld. Of course the objection must be well founded, and it would appear to be doubtful whether the senator would forcefully press his objection on. personal grounds, especially as Sapp is acceptable to Scnutor Byrnes. It luis been rumored here though that Smith will stop ut no point to enforce his opposition, but that remains to be seen, and nothing can be done befote next January when Congress nieuto. One thing in favor of Sapp has been his persistence in demanding that the administration "turn [the rascals out," somewhat nioie ha.-tily than the program called for. In this he i.a> had the support of :ho.-e patriots who believe that re-p aisible and remuneratev e offices -iiouid be i.o longer held by Republicans who re pi e.-etil nothing more '.nan then own desire t<> hold on to jobs that they jumped at as soon as the Demoerats lost power. * * * * Du: ing the administration of l'resj'lent lioover he lUU.-ed the e.-l.ibiinhmeiii o! a luige number of commission.-, foil j two in all. and the matter was a standing joke with the opposi tion, because they did nothing with very few exceptions, and were designed to do nothing except to draw salary and make voluminous reports which served no useful .purpose. Already under the present administration there ha.- been brought into existence a greater number than under Hoover, but there is a vast difference. The Roosevelt agencies were designed for work and accomplishments, and the results have been apparent to everyone in the way of improved conditions throughout the country. ? * * Although Lbe national Republican party has been mighty near dead since Hoover was so disastrously deflated two years ago, its adherents a: i giving -igns that they are not i raiiy for burial, ami are getting ;r. j napi to make whatever fight iney can th.a fall.

Governor Talks of His Boyhood Days "When I wan a boy, it was never regarded an far) Indication of poverty for boys to go barefooted?rather it was one of the few privileges a boy enjoyed," Governor Blackwood said yesterday as he looked out of a window across the State House grounds. The air above the cement walks through the ground^ rose in hot quivering waves; the governor was in his shirt sleeves; and a few boys, all barefoot, were sitting under some trees. The heat pressed down like a [heavy blanket. "It never occurred to 'ifcnyone to question the good taste of i the custom of going barefooted," he added. "As a child," the governor continI ued, "1 have attended church meetings, with maybe 500 people present, | and not more than three pairs of shoes in the congregation, and the 'preacher had one of those. In other congregations, a large per cent of those equipped with shoes wished they didn't have them on, andm?mo would untie their shoes and slip them otr. "Another privilege of the boy in my day was to visit the wash hole? I I suppose they'd call it a swimming pool today. In those days, it was a j wash hole?in the creek. Boys, wearing" just two garments, a 'body' or ; waist, and trousers?would, when go-1 ' ing in 'washing,' break into a run [when 100 yards from the hole; they would shuck off their garments, as ' they ran, and by the time they reached the shelter of the bushes growing around and the wash hole, they'd have their clothes in their hand. They were ready to jump in on arrival. I suppose if a stop watch had been held on some of those youngsters, | they would just about have made a i record in disrobing. "1 went barefoot for years and came 'through with a pretty even set of ! toes. 1 had stone bruises at times on my heels, and wore stalls over stumped and sore toes until I was about 1"> years of age. ! "And I've never had a.s go< d a time from then up to now as 1 had up to that time." the governor -aid, a- he concluded his soliloquy. With something like a sigh, he gave another glance to the group of ban foot youngsters sprawled out in the .-hade of a tree, and then he returned to h;s private office whore a meeting was in progress.?Sunday's Columbia Slate. IDLENESS AM) DEADBEATING Judge ('. <\ Feather-tone of the South Carolina circuit courts is a line philosopher as well as a good , judge, and in his addresses in the ! courts and writings in the papers, particularly his church paper, the I Southern Christian Advocate, calls attention to some very unfavorable (conditions and utters timely warnings and advice for their correction ' in order that greater dangers might : be averted. In the session of court ! at Newberry last week over which he presided, he called attention to the menacing condition of 'idleness and, deadbeating so prevalent at this 1 time. Judge Keatherstone's warning is indeed timely and should be heeded. !

Nt?w Swindler* Report a ure coming in to the effect thut u Hood of swindlers and bunco artists has invaded western states since the government started in to distribute crop-reduction payments to farmers. Among the newest schemes and one everybondy around Moundridge should 'be on guard against, is the pie<& goods and tailoring "racket." In this, an agent calls on the farmer and sells his .prospect suiting and dress goods, always at an unheard of price. He leaves a bolt of goods to be held until the "tailor" arrives. Next day a machine drives up, the "tailor" alights, takes measurements and then, after collectl ing a down payment, sets a date for (delivery. He drives away with the down payment?and the bolt of goods, too, since he is of course expected to use it in making the suit. Nothing more is ever heard ,_ot him. Be on the lookout for this new "racket" and don't permit yourself to be swindled. ?Moundridge (Kan.) Journal. Buy at Home The Hon. Tom B. Pearce, candidate for governor, in the course of an address to the' Retail Merchants' association of South Carolina in Charleston a few days ago, said that DO per cent <>f the canned asparagus to be found OQ^the shelves of merchants in this state is grown in California, while asparagus in abundance of the very best quality is grown in South Carolina. This is a sample of the way in which more is coming into the state in the way of imports than is going out, a process that makes the balance of trade nothing like even, and has so long tended to impoverish the people of South Carolina. Not everything used on the table can be produced within our own borders, but most items can; and it Is a shortsighted policy which allows thousajids and thousands of dollars worth of asparagus*7 to go to waste annually in the field, as probably occurs, and then send hundreds of thousands of dollars to California later in the season for the same commodity.?Chester Reporter. History of the Horse The horse has always been a friend to mankind. Far back in the shad/ows of pre-historic time he furnished primitive man with food, . and aided I him in his labors. The ancient cavej man in the early stages of history | decorated the walls of his cave with pictures of the beast and graphically I depicted the earliest associations between man and horse. The first complete record of the development and evolution of any modern animal is a collection of fossil horses which modern scientists have assembled after continued research and undaunted efforts. Itx is from this fossilized record that we gather data concerning the early history of the horse. Strangely enough, the earliest known direct ancestor of the modern horse is the Eohippus, or dawn horse, which lived in the western sections of the United States about three million years ago. In a region of warm, moist climate with abundant forests and luxuriant vegetation, this small fox-like animal lived peacefully on the rich, grassy meadows and plains. Unlike the j modern horse with its cloven hoof, the Eohippus had four distinct toes on each front foot, and three toes on the rear. In size, it never reached a height of more than twelve inches. Almost contemporary in development with the Eohippus came the Orohippus. which ranged in a region extending from Europe to the state i'.f New Mexico. This latter type, aljthuugn .-lightly smaller, was similar j to the "daw n horse" in general ap! pearance. On the foot, however, the 'middle digit became stronger and i I more dominant. Oraduaily through the thousands of years which followed, the middle digit showed greater development, and the j remaining digits slowly disappeared, j until in the Mesonippus, .an early ! horse comparing in size to the modjem prairie wolf, we find three digits j or. cacn foot. Fos.-iiized remains of the first one! toed horse, the Pliohippus, have been | found ;r, North America and Eurasia | a- well. I r. size, the Pliohippus surpa--ed its earlier ancestor* and probI ab:\ reached a height of three feet. It also differed from it.- predeces>oi > ! in a more e.aborate arrangement of 'tietr. more adequately de-igned for graz.r.g purposes. In more recent years man, him-elf, ha- influenced tne development of the hur.-e. He has produced slender. 1 long-legged types for speed and Heetr.es.-, and he has produ ed great mu*'cuiar types for heavy burdens. Of the true w i Id h ur .-*e, h u w e \ c -, [only the Mongolian type remains in regions of central Asia. Three o'h1 or types of true horses have been domesticated by man?the Celtic pony, the Norse forest pony and the swift, graceful Arab steed. It is from these true types that ail of our present domestic breeds have evolved. ?-Emory Ward in Our Dumb Animals. I A Jersey cow belonging to T. D. Brixey of Tullahoma, Tenn.. has given birth to three calves?triplets. AT IT AGAIN Human skunks are most offensive in South Carolina in year* of political campaign*. It is then that they get busy trying to besmirch candidates. Some are trying to turn voters against J. K. Harley, candidate for lieutenant governor, by whispering around that he is a Catholic, as if that were a high crime and misdemeanor, unfitting him for the office he seeks. If he were a Catholic, that would be nothing against him and would not keep him from serving as well as lieutenant governor, if elected, as he did when a f member of the house, In which he I was a leader of the economic bloc and fought to the last ditch for J economy. Had he been elected lieu- J tenant governor four years ago, as he should have been had all those who profess to desire economy voted for him, a man with an unimpeachable record as a champion of public economy, we would have had smaller appropriations and lower taxation I two years earlier than we began to got them. Those skunks who are conducting a widespread campaign against Harley could easily find out, if they wished to know the truth, that he is a Methodist and chairman of the board' of stewards of his home church in Barnwell. However, those skunks will keep right on with their dirty work, in spite of this authoritative statement as to Harley's religious affiliations. And the skunks have no sense. Decent people, and I decent people are in a majority, thank God, resent such tactics. Some years ago there was the same whispering here against two candidates, one seeking to go to the state senate and the other to congress. It was said oho must be a Catholic 'because his mother was and the other because his wife was. It is to the credit of the people of this county and congressional district that both were elected. And that nasty, underhanded fight on Harley will help, not hurt, his chances.? Greenville Observer. " J. S.
