I*ANIIANDI-ING CANIMPATKS
We understand that as never before
the ofFice seekers are being1 im-j
por tuned on alJ sides for financial aid
by impecunious perWitu, with promises
of aid at the polls if they comply,
and veiled threat^ of political disaster
if they don't. In nine caaea out
of ten these fellows will gouge one
candidate for us much as they can
and then go to his opponent and do
likewise. The candidate has nothing
but the promise of the fellow und
most of those who are willing to take
advantage of an otFice seeker in this
way will get what he can out of him
and, instead of supporting him, will
laugh at him for his folly. Kven if
the begger would keep his word it is
a bud state of affairs when votes can
be bought. It gives an unfair ttd.
vantage to the candidate who can
command funds as against the poor
man, and it may cause the election
of a mau whom the people do not
really want. The primary certainly
should be kept free from this sort of
thing. The county Executive Committee
should express itself in no uncertain
terms with regard to this
practice and the candidates themselves
' should join hands and put a stop to
it once and for all. It has gotten to
the point that it is a serious menace
to the free expression of the will of
the people.
"l\SIN(;,r THE CHL'HCH
Word comes to us from the four
corners of the county that the protracted
church meetings, being held
at this season of the year, are infested
with candidates who are apparently
using these gatherings ior
the purpose of pushing their claims
for \otes. When our Savior came
upon the sellers of wares in the
Temple, ui righteous indignation, he
drove them out. We wonder what

|Definite Swing
Toward Manning
Sumter, August d.?-Reiterating hi*
call to the voter* of South ( arolina
to seek men for the governor'* otrieo
Mini for the general assembly who
will work conscientiously for the interest
of the people of the itate^fjVM.
Manning of Sumter, took his tight
for good government into the eighth
week of the campaign.
The past three weeks of the campaign
has been featured by what Mr.
Manning's headquarters here declare
to have been a definite swing upward
for his candidacy, with predictions in
the press of the state that he is well
up among the tirst three candidates.
Mail received at the headquarters of-1
fice includes letters frtjm every section
of the state, expressing enthu-j
siasm over his race and noting thOj
almost sensational progress he U
I making.
' DairR with the state campaign party'the
past week, after one week of
("rest," Mr. Manning has continued
his crusade for level-headed, honest,
and courageous administration of the
state's affairs.
Emphasizing the fact that he is
"making no wild promises," the
Sumter farmer pledged his efforts to
hold the state's budget within bounds,
to smooth out rough spots in the tax
structure, to prevent the levying of
any new or substitute taxe^ to bring
about enforcement of the law through
a restricted use of the pardoning
power, promotion of workable relations
between capital and labor, enactmeiU
of an adequate workmen's
compensation law, to promote ownership
of small farms and homes and
other salient points in his platform.
THK BARTER ERA
A great many people seem to be
counting on using scrip or something
if they can't get money to do business i
with. We know that many cities have
tried scrip, but the system has plenty
of drawbacks. Now that the federal
government is really going to put
scrip on the map and establish indus- J
trial centers everywhere so that'
people who have no money can still
t xvftange the products of their labor,
;ite plan i- gojr.g to have a genuine |
trial.

Capital Observations
(Special Correspondence)
Washington, August 7?-With a
determination to suppress or reduce
bootlegging to u minimum the aecretary
of the treasury has just issued
an order to increase by approximutoly
1,700 to a maximum of 5,000 men
the force employed in combating the
illicit sale of liquor, and confidence
is expressed that a new offensive to
be undertaken will be efficacious.
The nation will be divided into fifteen
enforcement zones, and South Carolina
will be included in the district
with Maryland, the District of Columbia,
Virginia, West Virginia, and
North Carolina, with headquarters at
Baltimore. Although it may seem
somewhat strange, enforcement by
Federal authorities has always been
more effective than by state officials.
Uw violators stand more in fear of
the Federal courts, which may take
them away from their homes and
where they do not have the sympathy
and perhaps the co-operation of their
neighbors.
" ***
One of thfc Federal structures here
nearing completion is the new homfc
of the Supreme Court of the United
States, which now holds its sessions
in the c&pitol building. It presents
a magnificent spectacle, ^nd to the
ordinary citizen seems to be needlessly
large for the purposes required,
but there are private suites for
each justice, an extensive library,
and offices for various officials connected
with or having business with
the court. A justice is entitled but
i not required to retire on full pay upon
reaching the age of seventy, pro-,
vided he has served for ten years. Of
the nine justices five are now eligible
for retirement, namely, Chief
Justice Hughes, and Justices Van
Devanter, Brandies, McReynolds and
Sutherland. They are all hale and
husky, and none has given evidence
of leaving at any early date. However,
it is not improbable that the
president will be tailed upon to name
one or more new justices before a j
great while. On the supreme bench j
there are at this time two justices
at the Jewish faith, Brandies and!
Caitloza, a condition which has not ]
heretofore oxi.-ted and which is far;
out of proportion to the total ir.im!>
of Hebrew-, in the United Sta
In fact the first appointment of <<r.e
I
of that fuith was that of Drandiea,
named by President Wilson.

The outstanding prohibition leader
in Congress, is Senator Sheppard of
Texas, a co-author of the eighteenth
amendment which was repealed last
year. He has not been daunted, however,
and just before adjournment introduced
another amendment, which
will be that of a new Congress. The
new proposal, which the senator says
"will be the best pathway back to
national prohibition," vyould give
Congress discretionary power to restrict
or prohibit traffic in alcoholic
beverages. It is not likely that the
J proposal will meet with any favor
j with even those moderately opposed
to prohibition, fot the reason that if
there should again be elected to
Congress a majority favoring national
prohibition, the way would be
open for a law nation wide, which
was proven to be ineffective and nonenforceable,
and it is harder to repeal
an unsatisfactory measure than it is
to pass one.

The United States has undoubtedly
incurred the ill will of most Kuropean
countries, largely because of
tariff and war debt problems, and the
element of jealousy also enters.
There is a special significance in the
recent visit of president Roosevelt to
Haiti, Panama and Columbia as emphasizing
the "good neighbor" policy
toward Latin America. There is a
disposition to turn more and more
from Kurope and to concentrate
friendly advances in the Western
Hemisphere, a field that has been
generally neglected in the past.
* * ?
Before the close of the World War,
yielding to the advice of trusted advisers
who believed that his hold upon
the people of the nation was allpowerful,
President Woodrow Wilson
appealed for the election of a Democratic
Congress in November 11)18 so
that his administration, might continue
in complete control of the government
and successfully conclude his
policies. The appeal was resented as
indicating a lack of faith in great
numbers of opposite political adher-.
ence who. had loyally supported the
president, and a Republican Congress
was elected. We are still in an economic
war. and president Roosevelt
has been given cordial -unport by the
. * 1
generality of progressives and inde-j
pendents of Republican proclivities. It |
is altogether improbable that he will
make any partisan appeal. Furthermore
it is a practical if not an absolute
certainty that the next Congr***
will again be overwhelmingly Democratic.

Something over a year ago a divorce
wan granted to a son of President
Roosevelt in Nevada, where a
separation of the kind may be had
upon almost any ground, and a few
days ago the only daughter secured
a divorce, having gone for the purpose
to the same state. This seems
peculiarly strange in a family 'adherents
of a church which doea not
countenance divorce, and particularly
out of line with practice in South
Carolina, where a divorce is not
granted at all. It may be contended
that the parents are not responsible
for the actions of the children, but
be that as it may, it is never-the-less
a fact that each of them have had
access to the White House, the recently
divorced young woman being
there now, and the White House is a
national institution where the good
people, of the country expect the best
[traditions to prevail. In the. yoyal
court of Great Rritian a divorced per[
son is not recognized, and is not permitted
to participate in any social
'function there. Concerning the divorces
mentioned the general indignation
on the subject is reflected in
the following language by the Right
Rev. Charles Fiske, bishop ?of central
New York:
"Let me give brief expression to t
our sense of shame and humiliation
that in the family of our chief executive
there should be recorded two
Reno ffivorces. It seems to us to be
a family disgrace, a disgrace to the
nation and a disgrace to the church."

An economic tendency of the times
is the tendency of manufacturing corporations
to establish factories in
smaller communities and to some extent
to move those already established
from the crowded cities where less
security may be expected because of
the domination of employes by union
labor organizations. It is a healthy
and commendable development, and
oxe worthy of encouragement on the
pa rt of towns and smaller cities.
