MANNING ON FIRST BALLOT.
mm .
mW
Governor Richard I. Manning
ought to be reelected governor of
South Carolina. He ought to be
elected governor on the first ballot.
He will be, if?
Wfev, /
Every man in the State who believes
in law enforcement votes for
him;
Every man who believes in prohi.v>
.
bition and its enforcement votes for
^ him;
Every man who believes the State
should be governed by and for law
abiding citizens, rather than by and
for the lawless, votes for him:
' 7
Every man who believes that the i
same law should obtain in Charleston
and other cities as in smaller
towns votes for him.
| 'ii If all these should vote for Man
ning, the governor would be reelectK
-ed on the first ballot?and have several
thousand votes to spare.
I If the good people of the State
/ who favor good government would
.lay aside petty personal matters,
: / they would vote for Manning. A
good citizen should not vote for a
governor of the great State of South
.Carolina for personal reasons; they
should not vote against any candiv>
date for personal reasons.
(
The qualifications of each candidate
should be carefully weighed ib
the balance.
m
If Manning has made good, there
is no reason on earth why a good
citizen shoulc^NOT vote for him.
You are noit EXPECTED to vote
for Manning unless you desire a continuance
of good government. If
you wish the blind tigers to take the
reins of the government, DON'T vote
for Richard I. Manning. If you expect
to engage in any shady business,
you will endanger your interests by
voting for Manning.
If you are an honest man, expect
to- operate an honest business, dex
T
siring an honest government giving
honest protection to all honorable
people, then your duty is clear.
There is but one man running for
governor of South Carolina whom
you KNOW will give this kind of
government. Why take chances?
We understand that the report is
being circulated in this county that
Congressman James P. Byrnes is a
member of the Catholic church, the
circulation of such a story being done
with the desire to injure him. We
wish to state emphatically that such
a report is absolutely untrue. Congressman
Byrnes needs no defense at
our hands. His record in congress
speaks for itself and entitles him to.
i ... . . ... I
tfte support or every voter in tne
county. His earnest work in the
matter of securing payment by congress
for Protestant churches destroyed
during the war is an eloquent
refutation of any such rumor,
, and in this county he is pressing before
the war claims committee the
claim of St. John Baptist church,
- with every hope of success, but for
the benefit of those who might be
uninformed we will State that Mr.
Byrnes is a Knight of Pythias and a
Mason, and he could not be a member
of these secret orders and be a
Catholic. The fact is that Mr. Byrnes
is a member of the Episcopal church.
?"v}
Dr. L. A. Hartzog. Dr. Hartzog has
one of the most beautiful homes in
Bamberg county, and the home is
characterized by true Southern hospitality.
Dr. Hartzog is an enthusiastic
supporter of Governor Manning,
and he stated that he believed the
governor is going to be elected next
Tuesday on the first ballot.
The bind tigers are not voting for
Manning. The liquor interests are
not trying to elect Manning. That
element of Charleston desiring a
restoration of open barrooms is not
voting for Manning. The opponents
of good government are not voting
for Manning. Why are they opposed
to Manning? If Manning is a weakling,
if Manning's administration has
been lawless, why is it that these people
are not voting for Manning?
There's a reason.
' Mr. G. McDuffie Hampton was
placed in the Blease column at a
campaign meeting the other day. He
did not deny the fact at the time,
and at a later meeting, when he was
asked the question, he declined to
either deny or affirm it.- Mr. Hampton
is not compelled to answer the
charge if he does not want to, but the
people are at liberty to draw, their
own inferences. On the same occasion,
Mr. Fant was also put down
in the Blease column. He promptly
returned to the stand and denied that
he was a Bleaseite, and has repeated
his denial at the meetings since that
time.
The Herald wishes to commend to
the voters of Bamberg county the
candidacy of Albert S. Fant for railroad
commissioner. Mr. Fant is a
young man of ability who has made
a reasonable success in life through
his own efforts. He comes of a poor,
but honorable family, and he has established
for himself a reputation for
honesty and integrity. We believe
people of the county will make no
mistake in casting their ballots for
Albert S. Fant. We do not thinkthat
Mr. Hampton has established
for himself a record of fair treatment
of the people during his term
of office. In every matter that has
concerned the people of this section,
Mr. Hampton has been found on the
side of the railroads, as against the
interests of the people.
The paper situation is serious.
The prices are going higher every
day, and' the demand grows greater
with the supply growing shorter.
There is a possibility of the most
serious paper shortage in the history
of the country. Already there are
certain papers that cannot be bought
for any price, and the scarcity is fast
spreading !to all lines. Nearly all the
newspapers are resorting to cutting
off every subscription which is not
paid for in advance. And this will
be don? by this newspaper just as
soon as the cotton crop is put on
the market. We will not cut off any
subscriptions right at this time, but
within a few weeks, it is our intention
of dropping every subscription
not paid for. We cannot run the
risk of being unable to get
paper in order to accommodate our
friends. The situation is serious,
and all of our friends who want the
paper to' continue had better do their
part by paying for it.
The Herald has no candidates for
county offices. Individually, we will
vote for the men whom we consider
will make the best officers, but as the
people of the county know the various
candidates, or have means of
easily ascertaining their qualifications,
we have no advice to offer.
But we here merely take this opportunity
of hoping that every reatfer
of the Herald will cast his vote for
the men who will best fill the various
offices. We think entirely too much
stress is laid in county politics on
friendship. Because a man is your
friend is not sufficient reason, within
itself, to cause you to vote for
him. If he is your friend, and otherwise
qualified, you are easily within
your rights in voting for your friend.
we nope tne people wm eiect competent,
conscientious men to fill the
offices in Bamberg county, and in
view of the sane manner in which
the voters have heard the candidates
at the campaign meetings, we believe
they are going to do it.
I 1
Railroad Commissioner Jno. G.
Richards, who was defeated for governor
two years ago by Richard I.
Manning, says that he finds people
supporting a former governor now
who were not formerly for him and
that he will be elected. Another
case of an empty jumping the track.
The primary election will be held
next Tuesday. It is the duty of every
man qualified to vote. And it is to
be hoped that every man will vote for

red-blooded white man would allow
some body else to do his voting. It
is an insult to anybody's intelligence
for a man to offer to scratch another
man's ticket.
At Olar last Thursday the writer,
together with a number of/ other
Bamberg gentlemen, enjoyed the
charming hospitality of the home of
The People of Bamberg county no
doubt remember only too well con-;;
ditions here some years ago under I
prohibition when liquor was sold
openly and above board, with no attempt
at concealment, without hin-j
drance on the part of the authori-j
ties. They also well remember who j
was governor at that time. We have I
prohibition today but another man '
is governor. How about conditions j
now and then? The law is being enforced
as well as any other law and
no liquor is sold openly and there
are no flagrant violations of the prohibition
act. Governor Manning has
stood back of the officials and as a
result we have real prohibition and!
life and property are safe. If the
people who want present conditions
to continue will do their duty to
their county and State next Tuesday
Manning will be nominated without
any second primary, and we believe
they will do it.
We do not see what those people
who are opposed to Governor Manning's
reelection because of the insurance
matter hope to gain by voting
for Mr. Cooper. Mr. Cooper
stated in Bamberg ithat he would
have signed the insurance law, just
as Mr. Manning did. As a matter of
fact Mr. Manning is no more responsible
for the insurance law than
4k
he is responsible for any other law
that was passed. His position with
reference to the veto is very clear
and concise. It is not the governor's
duty /to make laws by signing them
or unmake laws by vetoing them. It
is his province to approve laws, it
they have been passed regularly, unless
some facts are brought forward
which the legislators, at the time the
law was passed, were not in possession
of. There were no such facts
brought out before the governor at
the time the insurance law was approved.
Whether a law is a good
one or not, it is not for the governor
of the State to decide. If it were
the governor's duty to pass on all
laws, as to whether or not they were
good ones, the State's laws would be
one-man laws. The proposed law is
threshed out by the legislators and
either passed or rejected by them in
the light of the arguments presented,
and in the light of the facts
brought out in committee hearings.
Mr. Cooper concurs in this view of
the veto power, and justly so.
PEACEMAKER KILLED.
R. L. Pearson Slain Trying to Quell

Chester, August 20.?R. L. Pearson,
of Sunny South, superintended^
fnr the Hardawav Contract company,
at the big hydro electrical plant that
is being constructed at Nitrolee, this
county, was shot and almost instantly
killed at an early hour this morning
when, in answer to a summons
from the night watchman, he accompanied
the latter to a shack where
some of the negro hands were engaged
in a disturbance. When Mr.
Pearson entered the house the firing
began. He was shot twice, the bullets
evidently coming from the outside.
"Blue Blood," a negro, said to
have been the leader in the disturbance,
was fatally shot and two others
were wrounded, one seriously. Sheriff
Colvin and deputies have heen at the
scene since early morning. Mr. Pearson's
body will be shipped to Alabama
tonight, accompanied by his
brother, Mr. Geo. Pearson, who arrived
here this afternoon from Catawba,

MINER FINDS QtEER BEETLES.
Specimens Similar to Ones That Puzzle
Scientists.
Beetles bearing Masonic and other
markings that have proved a puzzle
to tne uarnegie insuiuie, nave ueeii
found by Fred Steen of the Steen
mine in the Cornucopia district in
Oregon. The insects are of the general
type of the long horned wood
borer, but, according to the Carnegie
institute, there is an apparent variation
from any hitherto known species.
The backs are black, and the
markings are traced as though in
white ink. Some markings form a
combination of letters and Arabic
numerals. Many have the marking
"V. U. 6." Others have the Masonic
emblem of square and compass plainly
discernible.?Portland Oregonian.
