The overwhelming sentiment i
the campaign meeting the other da
in Bamberg in favor of Governt
Manning is an endorsement of h
administration. Twto years ago tt
County was overwhelmingly for Mai
- ning. It is still so.

We have heard of a few people wt

be applied to the governor. It is
conspicuous fact that not one of tb
: , opponents of Governor Manning hs
attacked the governor's actions r<
garding the insurance law. If tb
governor's actions in- this regaf
were pregnable, his opponents woul
not be so magnanimous as to ove:
look the fact.
South Carolina can receive $71
807 next year from the federal go^
ernment for good roads. This is coi
ditioned upon the State appropria
ing a like sum. Within the next fe
years there will be available for goo
roads all over the country from tb
government about $75,000,000, as
result of the passage of the goo
roads bill by congress recently. Thi
measure received the unstinted sui

* The campaign meeting in Bamber
last Thursday was quiet and orderl:
Every candidate received a respec
ful and attentive hearing. There wa
pi-.
110 evidence of rancor or bitternes
or factionalism. The candidates pr<
sented their claims in a dignified an
gentlemanly manner, and with ou
or two exceptions, there were no pei
, tonalities indulged in. The peopl
of the State are tired of the old mai
ner of campaigning, and they wi
not stand for it any longer. The pe<
pie of the State can thank the new!
papers largely for the manner i
which the meetings are held th:
year. The demand for a clean can
paign or no campaign at all resulte
in a better campaign.

with a certain element of people i
South Carolina. Enforcing the la
does not set well with those wh

This is evidenced in the followir
editorial paragraph from the Spa

There were two classes in tfc
crowd that heard the candidates fc

fore yesterday. One cheered f<
Governor Manning when he state
that he had tried to enforce all <
the laws all over the State. T1

that he wouldn't cram down tl
throats of any people a law the
didn't want. The latter is presume
to have had reference to the prohit
tion law.

that he would likely have act76

a solution of border problems.
The proposal of the de facto government
for a commission is accepted,

be assembled at some point in

Secretary Polk's note as delivered
to Eliseo Arredondo, Mexican ambassador
designate, after it had been
approved by President Wilson and
his cabinet:
Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your communication

forthwith the question relating to the
evacuation of the American forces
now in Mexico, and to draw up and
conclude a protocol or agreement regarding
the reciprocal crossing of the
frontier by the forces of both countries,
also to determine the origin of
the incursions to date, in order to |
fix the responsibility therefor and
definitely to settle the difficulties now '?
pending or those which may arise be- co

To My Customers:
On account of my financial
condition and stringency of
wholesale houses in extending
credit, I will be compelled to
sell for cash only in order that
I might keep goods in my
house to sell. My customers
have been both faithful ajid
kind to me, but with all that, <
I have been unable to give ;
them good service, simply because
I did not have the capital
to handle them on a thirty
day basis. It is not for lack of .4
confidence, but my inability to
do, and I trust none will be offended,
but will continue to
give me your patronage in a
cash way. I hope all will understand
my position. I am
