' f ? y (Political Advertisement) Suinter Item. The people or Sumter generally are greatly gratified at tlie evidences of growing Blrength in Hon.. Richard I, Manning's candidacy for governor. This is evidenced in many ways; by the many recent communication? to the different papers of the State, and by the attacks being made on him at the campaign meetingB by both the Bleaae and the anti-Blease candi dates, for a weak candidate is never attacked by his competitors. Another Bure indication of his strength is the many letters being received at Mr. Manning's oilice every day from all different parts of the State, telling him of his strong stand in the writ er's community. An Item reporter was given the opportunity of looking over a batch of mail and made r r?w excerpts from lettars. From Charleston, a Manning hupj porter writes: "Mr. Manning 1? gaining strength daily. I am doing nil I can for him." Another from Charleston: "We arc much encouraged here over the Man ning outlook." From Charleston als "I am glad'to Bay that things for Mr. Manning are looking pretty good down here." And ?tili yet from Charleston comes this: "From all indications you are going to fare well here Au gust 25. told me that you would lead in Charleston." The party named there is a most astute politician and iu on the other side in Charleston politics. An Alken man writes: "I have, foi f-.ome time, been reading your speeches und I have'come to the conclusion you are the man more suited for the governor's chair; 1 promise to do my best for you." 'And from Fairfield comes these optimistic messages, "I believe he is growing in this county, and Iii?, strongest opponent is losing."' "I find Manning and * * are way ahead around here!" I feel suro that you are gaining ground m our coun ty; I geel good in your behalf to day." Newherry is in this too. These nr?_ extracts, from a couple of letters: "Congratulate you on your bright prospects and commend the stand ou publie questions you are generally db r.uming." "As- things stand how, Mr. Manning will poll the largest vote of any of tho anti-Blease candidates, dnu may; head'tue ticket over all, both Blease and'-anti-Blease in this coun ty." From Dorchester comes tho word, "I wish to assure you of my support, and that at this poll you can count on 85 per cent, perhapa more." And another fror?.' Dorchester: "I wish to report for this section that you will poll a good vote." A Chester man wrote: "You are gaining ground every day in my county. A lot of men have changed recently and are talking Manning. I. jbelieve you will head tne ticket - for governor in my -county." From an Orangeburg town' is written, "You are gaining votes every day and the prospects are, you will not only carry this box but Barnwell, Bamberg and Hampton counties." Up in the corner of the State, from Pickene county is written: "I am sure Mr. Manning is growing stronger every day." From Iva, in thickly set tled Anderson county, he has heara, "I am pleased to be able to inform you that things around here are la deed favorable to your Interest." Wlilln from thn Hty of Andernan Ik written: "1 am confident that you are as Btrong as, if not a little stronger, than any one in this section." From a mill town, in Qrcenville county,- it*. heard: "I have got a great -many promised to vote for Mr. Manning in this section, i am certainly not leav ing any stones unturned tor.Mr. Man ning. I.have a lot of * men te vote for Mr. Manning. One , of our work ers was a * supporter." A travelling man writes;-"I have been working the' Piedmont section' for about three weeks, and. from ob servation, believe you. are growing! stronger every day; a great many men I have talked to are *-* * men but are. going to support you, bel levies you are the strongest anti-man in the race." Another traveling man writes. "I have been over nearly every county In the State In the past 30 days?you are growing in favoi." ! The following letter froffi Charles ion wbb from a gentleman who is ui?t a politician but just a good. Solid, evory day citizen who had -written Mr. Manning, asking his stand- on certain questions.
