874 TIMES ACROSS CONTINENT.
' Pullman Conductor Has Record For
Long Distance Travel.
S
Across the continent 874 times for
a total of 3,171,746 miles is a small F
bit of traveling done by Pullman h
Conductor W. E. Johnston, of the s
Washington Sunsbt Route, who ^
crosses the continent between Washington,
D. C., and San Francisco, Cal- &
ifornia, almost every week, passing
through Greenville. Mr. Johnston, 0
xirVirk hniric thp record for transconti- ^
nuv ww _ _
. nental travel, is popularly known in I 0
railway circles here. He operates on
Southern railway trains Nos. 29 and r
30. I<
a Mr. Johnston entered this service i]
on November 11, 1899, and has just S
finished his eight hundred and seven- a
ty-fourth trip for a total of 3,171,- b
746 miles. In the making of the re- ^
markable record he has never been e
in a wreck nor had an accident on ^
his car. I *
He has made many friends among P
the traveling public, and upon his s
arrival at each terminal a large num- v
ber of letters await him from those ^
| who have made the trip with him,
many seeking to learn dates of his n
departure from Washington or San n
Francisco in order that they may re- P
turn with him, or send their friends. 11
In many instances small children, e
some of them as young as three years
have been placed in his care, and "
* while he is a confirmed bachelor he P
knows how to make closed friends *
\ with the little as well as the big ones.
\ So accustomed has this "Knight
Of the Road'' become to making his h
home over the wheels that when he P

instead of resting contentedly in j ti
some quiet spot he maps out an itin- G
erary for a trip which makes him
hustle to get back to headquarters b
IB on time. He says he will retire when a
I I he rounds out ten million miles d
I 1 travel, but no one believes him as he b

Mr. Cooper's Statement.
& ; ...
The Journal today gladly gives c<
- space to the statement by Hon. Rob- f<
ert A. Cooper, of Laurens, as to why b
he entered the race for governor, e
The statement is couched in excellent
language and is a high tone d
campaign document, typical of Mr. n
Cooper, who is making his campaign tl
on a very high plane. If all candl- 1<
dates were like Bob Cooper there ii
would be no bitterness in South Car- a
olina politics. | cl
But after a careful reading of the c,
statement we are unable to find in f<
it any reason why Governor Manning
r should be defeated and Mr. Cooper h
elected in his place. Mr. Cooper o
does not show or attempt to show I h
wherein Governor Manning has so b
failed in the discharge of the duties o
of his office that he should be re- p
buked by being defeated. c;
The Journal has very great admiration
and respect for Mr. Cooper t]
but feels that the people of the State 2
owe it to themselves to reelect Gov- F
\ , ernor Manning and there is nothing tl
x Kr "Yfy (~!nnn- I ^
? in tne statemtjin, issucu uj ^

A feat of Governor Manning, it mat- h
' . "<" ters not who may defeat him, would h
be taken by the blind tigers of fi
/ Charleston and elsewhere as a per- tl
sonal victory. Mr. Cooper might be
as hard on them as Mr. Manning has o
been but the tigers wouldn't care p
for that. They want to punish the a
~*L '1
man who first punished them?in s
other words they want to get the h
man who started the trouble for t]

will be satisfied, it matters not what a

An Essay on Editors. h

A country school boy was toia to u
write an essay on editors and this is

the result: tJ
"Don't know how newspapers came

A DEMON OF THE AIR.
Dash to Death" of France Has Had
Many Norrow Escapes.
Sub-Lieut. Nungesser, of the
"rench aviation corps, brought down
is tenth enemy aeroplane today,
ays a Paris dispatch of Tuesday.
Nungesser is a great bi-g heavy felow,
fat-faced and cumbersome of
uild.
He was a cavalryman in the Secnd
Hussars when he started his
areer, and the war was not a month
Id before he distinguished himself.
His squadron was cut off and surounded
in the retreat from Char.
2roi. The troop commander was ly~
ag helpless, badly wounded. Nunesser
bore him to shelter. Getting
few stragglers together, he amushed
a German staff motorcar,
illed its occupants, put his woundd
officer inside and, taking the
rheel, set off on a wild dash through
he enemy's lines. The car was a
owerful Mors, and the way Nungeser
let her all out and tore through
rhole ranks of Germans earned for
im the epithet of "Dash to Death."
Nungesser was subsequently proloted
to quartermaster, awarded the
lilitary medal, and permanently apointed
army chauffeur. He later
anded in his resignation and declard
that unless he was put into the
ying corps he would take his place
i the trenches. He already had a
ilot's ticket, and after a week or
- - ' A nmnri
WO s training was passcu as
Dr military aviation.
Between April and August, 1915,
e took part in 53 bombarding exeditions,
three of which secured him
resh mentions in dispatches, fteurning
from the last, he espied a
rerman Albatross over Nancy, went
or it, despite the handicap of his
eavy, slow machine, insufficiently
rmed for single combat, and shot
own the invader. This achievement
rought him into prominence and he
-as promoted to the crack chasing
orps. Before the end of the year
e had been made chevalier of the
region of Honor.
A sideslip at Bue, however, when
rying a new type of machine, almost
ost him his life. He was picked up
or dead, with a fractured skull, a
roken jaw, nearly all his ribs brokn,
the muscles of the legs torn away.
Nungesser refused to accept the
octor's decision that he was permaently
disabled, he declined to take
tiree months' convalescence?the
iast he could do, said the surgeon,
* ever he wanted to be of any use
gain?and, almost stealing a mabine,
he soared aloft, and never
ame down until he had accounted
:>r a German aeroplane.
After this he was allowed to have
is own way. He could scarcely talk
wing to the necessity of binding up
is jaw, his head' was swathed in
andages, he had to be lifted in and
ut of his aeroplane, but he was a
erfect demon aloft. He then beame
a sub-lieutenant.

5, he engaged single-handed three
'okkers, brought down one and gave
tie others a severe maulding. A
reek later he was swooped down
pon by a flotilla of six Fokkers. He
ad one down before they could get
is range almost, and then sailed at
ull speed right into the middle of
tie others.
They were unable to fire, for fear
f hitting one another, whereas he
ounded them hard until he had not
shot left, then by masterly airmanhip
he showed them a clean pair of
eels. They were in su^h a state
hat they did not dare follow him,
diich was lucky, for he had not gone
mile or two before, his engine went
11 to pieces, seven cans naa gone
hrough it, and only a couple of cynders
still had any go to them. He
ad dropped to under 3,000 feet, and
ras limping lamely as he crawled
ack over the German trenches.
The storm of shells missed him all
he same and he made home safely.
>ne shot had gone through his hellet
and grazed the top of his head,
nother had carried away the heel
f the slipper, 27 had struck the
/lane and donjh various /kinds of
amage, without counting those in
he engine.
Her Proof.
The reading class was in session
nd the word "furlough" occurred,
Iiss Jones, the teacher, asked if any
ittle girl or boy knew the meaning
f the word.
One small hand was raised.
"Furlough means a mule," said
he child.
"Oh, no, it doesn't," said the
eacher.
"Yes, ma'am," insisted the little
;irl. "I have the book at home that
ays so."
Miss Jones told the child to bring
he book to school. The next morn
ng the child came armed with a
>ook and triumphantly showed a picure
of an American soldier riding a
nule, under which was the caption:
"Going home on his furlough."?

MANNING STRONG IN PIEDMONT, t

e
Prominent Farmer Says Governor is t
Gaining Strength Daily. (
Columbia, S. C., August 22.?"I t
am satisfied that those persons now 1
claiming that Governor Manning is t
weak in the Piedmont will be great- 1
ly surprised at his strength when the f
vote is counted," said Mr. D. A. Geer, 1
a large farmer and merchant of Bel- (
ton, in reference to the political sit- 1
uation in the Piedmont, with espec- 1
ial reference to the reports that have <
i x ?t. ii.-i at f
Deen sent UUl mill itlttumug uaa iuoi ?
ground in that section of the State. ?
"I firmly believe that Governor I
Manning's strength in this section of
the State is growing daily regard- f
less of wild claims to the contrary," t
said Mr. Geer. "At no time has his i
chances for reelection been brighter, t
Should he not be nominated in the i
first primary over all his opponents
I am satisfied that he will repeat his
splendid victory of two years ago
when he defeated Mr. Richards by an
overwhelming majority in the second *
primary." c
Mr. Geer has large farming inter- 1
ests in the Piedmont section of the *
.State, and has a wide acquaintance. (
His knowledge of the political situation
comes from intimate touch with 1
m
the people and he is a man of such
high standing that no one would
question the truthfulness of his statement.
Mr. Geer's statement in reference j
to the political situation in the Piedmont
follows in full:
"Being in intimate touch with the
political situation in the Piedmont,
I firmly believe that Governor Manning's
strength in this section of the
State is growing daily regardless of
wild claims to the contrary. At no 1
time has his chance for reelection j
been brighter. Should he not be S
nominated in the first primary over
all his competitors, I am satisfied!
that he will repeat his splendid vie- i
i
tory of two years ago when he defeated
Mr. Richards by an overwhelming
majority, in the second
primary. So far as my own county,!
Anderson, is concerned, I believe he
will run a strong second in the first primary.
The other Piedmont coun- ]
ties will give him a surprisingly
large vote and I am satisfied that
those persons now claiming that Governor
Manning is weak in the Pied- i
mont will be greatly surprised at his *
strength when the vctfe is counted. ?
Why shouldn't he run strong in the; j
Piedmont? He has certainly proven j
himself Worthy.
"Governor Manning's hard but un-!
ceasing fight for law and order and 1
his success in restoring confidence in I *
the forces making for civic righteous-;
ness in South Carolina, his earnest. ?
advocacy oLsocial and industrial jus- j ^
tice, his successful efforts for better j r
educational facilities for the white C
boys and girls of the State, the eco- *"
nomic measures passed under his
administration for improving the
conditions surrounding our rural i
population, and :the reorganization of
the State Hospital for the Insane
with it's modern, improved methods
of treatment for the unfortunate inmates
and the lar?:e saving iff dollars
and cents as a result of the economies
\ \
'practiced ithere by, the new adminis
tration, hare caused me to give my I
undivided support to Governor Manning.
I believe that the majority of (
the people of South Carolina agree s
! with me that his progressive adminis- *
; tration should be continued so that (
the greait work that he has so well t
begun for law, order, education, and humanity
shall be carried forward
by him to a successful conclusion."
Gaining Strength in Pee Pee.
Columbia, S. C., August 22.?"He
deserves to be our next governor and j
I feel sur4 that Darlington and the!
Pee Dee section will do their part to
reelect him," said Mr. David R.
Coker in discussing the prospects for
the reelection of Governor Manning.
"Many who voted for other candidates
two years ago feel that they
should show their approval of Mr.
Manning's administration and their
gratitude to him for his progressive,
humane and business-like course as
governor," continued Mr. Coker.
Mr. Coker, it will be remembered,
two years ago gave his support to
Mr. Cooper in an effort to defeat Mr.
Richards. The work of Mr. Cokei
at that time was largely responsible
for the large vote polled by Mr.
Cooper in the Pee Dee section of the
State.
He speaks enthusiastically at this
time in reference to the reelection of
Governor Manning. His statement
to the press follows in full:
