the various candidates are founded
iaitoo much on politics, and not enough
on the men themselves and what they
ie have done or are doing, and what
they stand for. It is, therefore, a
1_ source of satisfaction to the friends
of Hon. Rich'd. I. Manning, that there
y is behind him something solider than
an ability to shake hands, to honey11
talk, and to pull wires.
Mr. Manning stands for progress
yt and advance, and Mr. Manning stands
for honesty. The two must go together.
Honesty with stupidity,
idleness or backwardness is wasted.

it his views and words and fool those

s> Some idea of the area planted to
the great grain crops of the country
is and of the prospective size of these
r_ crops, with the exception of corn, was
iy given to-day when the department of,
q- agriculture at 2 p. m. issued its June
crop report, showing the condition of
those grains on June 1, the acreage

" yield per acre and the total produc0
tion, based upon the ratio of the averf*
age cpndition to June 1 to the final

compiled by the crop reporting board,

tion for primary voting, or any other
form of restriction. His opponents
are trying to make people believe he
does, but they know they are dishonest
in their efforts.
Mr. Manning stands for a more
equal assessment of property, between
man and man, between township and
township, and between county and
county. Are you satisfied with how
tax matters stand in this State, or
are you with him in this? Mr. Manning
is a practical farmer; he has always
been a farmer, not merely a
farm owner?there's a big difference;
he manages his own farm. He is well
posted, therefore, on all matters that
are of vital interest to the out^of-, .
town dwellers; the preiserving' of
peace and good order in the coun-.
try; the founding of a system of ru-'
ral credits, something like the building
and loan association of the towns;
the standardizing of cotton grades,
which will mean better prices; an
adequate and safe system of warehousing;
the improvement of rural
conditions, and all things that will
help make country life more profitable
and more pleasant. Another matter
he understands perfectly and
knows the importance of it protection
against dishonest fertilizers. Oqr
present law require that fertilizers
shall show their analysis, and shall
measure up to them; but there is
matter, known in the fertilizer world
as "worthless filler" which will give
the analysis all right, but which is
without value as plant food. The

this, so must the honest manufac- fl
turer, and to enact the legislation
that will accomplish this without fl
falling short or without going too far fl
is going to require skill, and an in- fl
tricate knowledge of a difficult sub- I
ject. fl
Mr. Manning believes of course in fl
pushing educational advantages and fl
facilities as much as possible; hefbe- fl
lieves in law and order, and law*en- fl
forcement, he believes in supporting I
the constitution of South Carolina, I
and in government along constitution- I
al lines. Last, but by no means least, fl
he is striving to put down the feeling R
of factionalism in this State; lie is I
trying to keep men on the opposite fl
sides of the road from being bitter fl
toward each other because they do I
not happen to vote alike; he is en
aeavoring to make former friends I
once more friends, and to reunite the fl
Democracy of South Carolina again fl

The Spice of Teaching.
Wrong answers to questions at
school are productive of much pleasure
to the pupil, but teachers get
plenty of laughs out of them. Here
is what one teacher has gleaned from
a boy more remarkable for imagination
than accuracy.
To a question in the geography
class he volunteered this:
"Continents are things you make
big maps out of; islands are things
you make little maps out of."
And, in an endeavor to retrieve I
himself later in the history class, he 1
announced: I
"Hannibal was a man that ate hu- I
man beings, especially Romans."? B
