It ICR A RR L MANNING A few days abo in commenting upon .the candidacy of Richard I. Manning this p-.per Haid editorially: "We have long known him to be a riiun o.f character, of vision, of sym pathy, of honesty and of reliability. And'we believe that If ho is elected governor there wiii be in that onice a man whom every South Carolinian will In t.'mo come to love. H* !s a man of gentle manners but of un doubted courage; be is a man who is proud of his mtzt*t proud of the men whose blood flows in bis veins and bo fore te would be guilty of one ignoble act as governor of the Btate, he would lay down his life. "There are other splendid men In the race for governor and we will not discount their ability, their capability or their character, but we believe in truth that the man who would most honor South Carolina1 is Richard I. Manning bf Sumter, who should be permitted to come Into his own, for he would have been governor long ags,'' -. It is with peculiar pleasure, there fore that wo can now all the mpre unreservedly commend him to the peo ple who read this paper. Mr. Man ning did not receive bin natural atrsagth In the ?rs? primary for ma ny of his supporters, not realising his general strength, were induced to vote for others for whom there was a sentimental wave. We, therefore, feel quito sure that Mr. Manning will bo the next govern or. Of his opponent, we have no criticism except that we think Mr. Manning is the bigger, the broader, the more suitable man, that he can handle problems and propositions of any magnitude and that he can yet appreciate the needs of the people. We are for Manning, because? is a practical and successful 1er and knows what the farmer needs. He is working for better fer tilisers, and for better country con ditions. He is a practlcui and successful business man and can administer the affaire of the State in the best man ner He is a level headed man, of sound judgment, with flat administrative ability; he Is the kind of man that gets thipgs done? He Is la a courageous man and he Is an honest man ; ho does not form his views just to phase a crowd, nor does h(? pretend to be one thing to one man and another thing to an other? ' He will enforce tho law on the sta tute-books without favoring one man over another, or one town or county over another? And becauqe, with Mr. Manning as governor South Carolina will prosper, will be law Abiding, will be well gov erned and you will never be sorry that yon voted for him. i- . _ MR, FANTS VOTE In tabulating the vote for members of 4he general assembly, one of the .figures made by the adding machine waa indistinct and Ruf us Fant, Jr., was recorded as having something over 2,800 votes when it should have been 2,800. The "8" and tho "8" are very much alike. The final and official cotint gives Mr. Fant 2,960 votes and ho enters the second race. This prom-. Inonco is given to the matter as tho former .announcementb might have P.^a?:ysrr FionP? fr!?5d? ? day's werk lft 'setting stcrted tor the second prl ftary. gSBfo* Holl. Jr., comes into the second primary in place of J. Belton Watson, their votes having been close. Mr. Kali is a successful young farmer and -'?^tfl??e a good rus fer his first Iii pollUcs. one LEGISLATORS Ander-on coiinty has started well upon selecting a h gihlativo delega tion. If the three remaining members ineuuure up as well ab the threu that have been chosen, this county will he among the foremost in the halls of legislation. John T. Went of Hi lton, who heads the delegation. Is a graduate of the Citadel academy, has had years of ex perience m teaching s< hool, in con ducting a hunk, and Is now a prosper ous fanner. In an all around citi zenship, Including integrity, capabil ity und knowledge of the yorld und its .necessities. South Carolina will have no truer son In the general assem bly. A close second In the size or Ills vote, is George M. Held of IModlliout. Mr. Heid is u fanner who l'veu a. home und makes his living by hard labor. He Is a sterling, staunch cit izen, a man close to the great muss of people, and by his own life of hon est toll, he can Interpret their ideas, their aspirations, their longings, and he can give them forceful expression, because of his own Integrity, which will bear weight with his views. 8. A. Burns is front the fur corner of the county from Mr. Held?Hock Mills township. He is the type of man known as the progressive farm er and is gradually getting indepen dent of cotton as he Is a very success ful stock raier. He is a man whose boldness of Ideas, determination to put them through, and success in ex ecution is such that he will be a val uable man in the gencrnl assembly, valuable for the state at large, for he is a leader, a man of character, of success and of vision. Give uu three more such as these. IN APPRECIATION The forco of "hello girls" who were on duty on the night of the election have the thanks of the newspaper men of Anderson, for it was only by their untiring efforts and accomoda tlons that the returns of the election in tho city of Anderson were secured so readily. At The Iatelllgencer of flco there were two 'plumes that were constantly in operation from 5 p. m., Tuesday until 3 a. in. on Wednesday. The work of getting the returns in to Anderson on the night of the elec tion iS'CollosBal In itself,, but without the telephone, company it would have been impossible, and there would hove been v?A.-y few of the Andersdn coun ty returns given to the public. Tho central, operators were as oblig ing and accomodatiug as they could possibly ha)e been, and especially In securing the returns from obscure points- The motto of the tele phone company which proclaims the J company as being the "Finder of .Men is certainly one which is well word ed and which bus a meaning. They live up to their motto. MuuuKcr Eeuiy, Mr. Swiizer and Mr. Thompson of the Bell, company, also gave their time and services, all of which waa greatly appreciated. EXPRESSING GRATITUDE We have heard mon say that the State of S"Uth Carolina should do something for, Messrs Pollock and Jennings. In Greenwood a purse is being mnde up to send them a loving cup each. A prominent farmer of this county 'phoned this paper Thurs day afternoon and offered to start a subscription list to raise $1,000 to net some filling testimonial to show t'uesi' gentlemen the appreciation of Anderson county for the work done In the recent campaign. Without eonitultatlon with these gentlemen, we would say that while they' might appreciate some simple testimonial of 'cem, yet they would prefer fa e people to endow scholarships for Anderson college or it Frazer Academy and let these scholarships bear the names of the snndidateti for senate who stumped tho state for the cause which they championed. There Is another who should be re nembered by tho people of the state ?and that 1b Dr. John G. ClinkscaleB. [n acknowledging that he had failed to get into the oecond raco, Dr. 2link',cales says: "I go down In detect, but the princi ples for which they and I fought can never die. I find no sting In this de Teat At the bar of my own .conscience [ find myself acquitted of any unmanly word or deed during the whole cam paign; and today I feel stronger for the further prosecution of the fight 'or the children, of my beioved State. In the language of Paul Jonc a-. "We have just begun the light." Whatever powers I have I reconsecrate and re iedlcato today to the neglected boys ind girls of South Carolina. With me It's not a question of polit ical office, but the question of a square leal to the thousands of innocent shlldres whose cr** for light shall yet be heard. To the thousands of friends who believe in me a*ud who believe in the righteousness of the cause. for which I fought, but allowed them selves to be stampeded at the critical moment, I wish to say that I have nothing but the kin dost feeling. We llsagreed In Judgment, but I give them run credit tor being just as patriotic sa I claim to be. I have for many of them the deepest affection und shall endeavor to prove myself worthy -of the confidence many ot them assured me they hud in me and the cause 1 represented. "The people of my city and county could not be shaken from me. They who know me best followed nie to the last ditch und went in with me. God 1 bk-rfs them. Here language fails to express my thoughts and feelings. I shall show them. "I'm not a sulker or a quitter, I am ready to put my shoulder to the wheel and help roll up a big majority for Cooper or Manning. They are both my friends. At this writing it is not known whether Cooper or Mau nlng will lif in the second race with Richards. "After a rest of two days I shall be ready tu talk compulsory education wherever and whenever tbe oppor tunity offers. With full confidence in the Integrity of the people of my na tive state and unshaken faith In the Ultimate triumph of the cause for which I fight und to which I have re dedicated all my powers." There Is the ring, of manliness. Dr. Cllnkscules fs In the tight to the linlsh?not for office, but for a cause. Surely the people of South Carolina ! will remember this. oooooooooooooooooooi o o| ? ON THE ??TII IIA Y. o o o I ooooooooooooooooooc? A few days ago a bard signing him self W, J. Pricks, sent a little piece of verse teasing the Smithites. We do not believe in the "I told you so" fel low, or In the anonymous correspond ent, but our mall has brought a reply! to Mr. Frlck which we think la good mil il red and apropos1: ? Say! Brother Frlcks, have you heard j the news? (I'll own it's enough to give a fellow the blues.l And i#know the piety all fled from your soul when you learned tho defeat ot "Old King Cole." For this is no guying, we merely here auy, "Ed Smith was elected on the 25th Day." ELECTION NOTES. R. H. Alexander, brother of Frank Alexander of thlB city, was elected treasurer of Oconee. F. H.
