Ejjltor The Intelllg-mcer: ? We are fortunate to have such a candidate in the field as Richard I. Manning. He is a man from tht rank and file of the people. His strug. gle with poverty and his association for many years, with the laboring whit? people in the cotton fields of Suinter county will always bring sym - pathy and fairness to those people. As a business man he has succeeded and he is a man cf. executive ability fend is peculiarly fitted for tho office of'governor. Nothing can defeat him oxccpt hia friends becoming too san giiiHo or overconfident. Mr. Manning in now already ahead of his opponent even in the latter 'a strongholds. Conceding 1 that Irby'a vota will' go to Richards, will "give Richards only about 41,000. Both CoOper's and Clinkscales' will legiti mately fall to Manning which will g^e him over 67,000. There will .yet ' remain some - 25,000 votes and there cab bo ho question that Manning will get.a majority of those. \ '.*>. : It Is to be expected that political tricks, misrepresentations and alt t 0t9 of things will be sprung on tho eye of the election. These are always thrown at tho *Btrong horse. ! Knowing. this Manning's friends should be on the alert and nail them as false . W. D. ODZTS. Edgetiold, S. ?., Sept, 8, 1914. t VTILI. VOTE FOR WINNER.

Mr.-Slmms got a good vote in this county. The concensus of oplnldn hero, is that, with ' anything lUcb a fair Vote beirig polled, Mr. Msu nlng will be elected by a handsome majority.

D. 0, RICHARDSON. Denmark, Sept. 2, 1*14. Shealy is for 1 Lexington Man Denies Campaig Reasons For Lexington, S. C., Sept- 2.?In view of the fact that it la being circulated throu?..out the state by the political enemies of Frank W. Shealy, who is in the second race with C. D. Fortner, of Spartanburg, tor the position of railroad commissioner/ to the effect that the Lexington candidate is op posed to organised labor, Mr. Shealy wns interviewed on tho subject today before leaving on his trip for tho Pied mont section. Mr. Shealy said: "Any statement to tho effect that Frank Shealy is opposed to organized labor is a campaign falsehood of tho blackest character. It is but another effort of my political enemies to dis credit my candidacy among the great working people of this state, among whom I am one. The people who know me, and the people who have seen me rise by my own endeavor, know that I am with the working man first, last and all th? time. "I nm in sympathy with any move ment looking toward better conditions among those who make their bread by the sweat of their brow. I am in sym pathy with those, who, at the sound of tho whistle at 4:30 in the morning have to rise from their beds and go into the cotton mills by the light of the electric power in order that they may earn an honest livelihood; I am in sympathy with the man, who in the dead houro of night pulls the throttle on tho loccmotivos that carry us. and our loved ones to and fro; I am with the man who shovels, the coal that keeps the engine running; I am -in sympathy with the great body of mo tormen and conductors who operate the great trolley systems or Our up country and Uie cities of our state; I am in sympathy with the farmers of this county, the man who feeds and clothes the world. j "I was not born with a silver spoon in my mouth, and my sympathies have ever been, and will always be with the man who has to struggle for his living. CHARLESTON IS IN LINE. Mr. Manning Will Receive a Two Thirds' Majority There Next Tuesday. Editor Tho Intelligencer: I am delighted to see' the vigor and vim which tho friends of Mr. Manning are showing in his second race for governor. If this work is kept up there ' willi be no chance for 'Mr. Manning's defeat, but it is highly important'that the work be followed to the end. . ' As you know, Charleston gave Mr. Manning n magnificent vote ln tb? first primary., in the second primary I he-! Hovo Mr. uaif nlng I 'will sweep the ; countyj of ChariestOd -n^-' one :of ) th? j largest majorities ever given a candi date in any race for a Btate office. Mr. Richards has his friends here, but in my - judgment even they con ceive that Manning's lead in Charles ton will be overwhelming. The indi cation now is that Manning will re ceive nearly two-thirdo of the vote of this county, at least this is my Judg ment. Keep up the good work In your section of the state, and let all who are interested in Manning's campaign rally to his Bupport, and bis election as governor of South Carolina Is in evitable. FRANK r. HERN DON. Charleston, Sept. 2, 1014.. A ODE VILLE IS IN LINE And Will Give Manning o B!g Major ity Next Tuesday. Editor The Intelligencer: I bave noted with a great deal of pleasure your several communications having referonco to the second pri mary, as touching tho election of Hon. Richard I. Manning an governor. I wish to say that Mr. Manning's friends In Abbeville county arc awake arid hard at work, and this includes by far tile greater part of those who voted for Mr. Cooper and Mr. Clink scales in the first primary. . This part of the county will go practically solid for Mr. Manning, and I think it cafe to predict that Abbeville will give; him as large ? majority as that given Smith in. the first primary, which was over 800.

Laboring Man ai Ram ors Afloat and Gives His His Position "While I am in Bympathy with tho organizations, I am not unmindful of the fact that tho duties of a railroad commissioner require that many other matters of great importance to tho peoplo have to bo mot. For in stance, the shippers of the state, the wholesale merchant and manufactur ers' must bo considered. During the last fow weeks the freight and express rates havo been up for consideration, and something must be dono and done quick to relievo the situation. I stand for a greater reduction in expresB rates, giving every town and ovory section tho same showing. What we I need now more than anything else is harmony among tho people?harmony between tho corporations and the masses. "Another thing I would Uko to cor rect, and that is the charge that I am opposed to a two-cent flat rate on all railroads in this state.'I have not dis cussed the question from tho stump for the reason that every sensible man knowB that the railroad commission is not a legislative body. It is simply and purely an administrative office. I have declared from every stump with all.the ardor of my being that I stood for safety first, and I repeat that now. However, in conclusion, 1 want to add that if I am elected, as I confidently expect to be, I will see to it that all laws coming under the supervision of tho railroad commission will be en forced to the letter or the people will know the reason why. If the legisla ture of South Carolina declares for a two-cent flat rate, 1 guarantee that tho railroads will put It into effect. "It tho people honor me with the office, I shall perform every duty in cumbent upon me with equal rights to all and special privileges to none." Hundreds of letters and telegra&ts continue to pile In at Mr. Shealy's headquarters here, all assuring the Lexington candidate of the strongest co-operation and support in the sec ond' primary. THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY. Nearly Two-Thirds of Members of HonSe Hart Been Selected j , There are 23 senators to bo elected in the primary, 22 for fulfc terms and one to fill a vacancy caused by the resignation of B. W. Crouch, of Sa luda. Unofficial reports received In Co lumbia indicate that the following sen* alors have beon elected: Abbeville, J. M. Nicklea; Anderson, J. L. Shorard; BsHtfcley, J. A.

Mr. Young was tho strongest antl-Blcase man in tho state senate but bis defeat is a victory, as Union county had been giving the governor big majorities. There will be second races in three counties. E. R. Ginn and Fred Light sny are in tho race in Hampton, in Kershaw W. C, Hough and Seattle wilt make a second race. The fight in Cherokee will be between W. L. 8et tlemeyer'and Richmond Staccy.

What The IS Men Who Have Worked With am People and a : Edito:- The Intolllgoncer: I havo known Mr. Richard I Man ning for ten years, and have had con. slderablu dealings with him. I con sider him ono of tho best farmera that I know. He has given me Iota of good advice about farming. I livo In t\\o mllcB of one of his farms In Lee county, wblch consists of about sixty plows. I know a great many of his tenants, and they certainly roly on him as an honest and upright man. They alBo rlBk his judgment In the management of their farms. I know Mr. Manning's principal business is farming, while ho Is connected with tho Dank of Sumtor as a great many othor farmers are. I say this for the benefit of those who do not know him. I know if elected governor he will bo a friend to the farming Interests. B. W. SUGARS. OBWOgo, Gept. 2, 1914. WORKED ON MANNING'S FARM Editor Tho Intelligencer: It givcu mt great pleasuro to state I that I have had the good fortuno to k?ow Mr. Richard I. Manning since | 1885, and in tho year of 1897 I was, called upon to ovorseo hin farm,* which was a continual source of pieu sure, as he in every possible way did all in his power, sociably and in a business way, to make the position one as much of pleasure to mo as possible. And, since then, I have been con-| tiuually in business with him, and in every way have I found him to bo a |moBt gonteel man, and never lias any one received that from him which would go as a discredit to the person that 1b now before us asking that we honor blm with our. suffrage; it should be enough to change his worst enemies to look back on the record of thla man. Hp is a man that would do any state honor to be able to boast of having produced such a man. It la not fair that I ' should be given the ! honor of writing a record that belongs to a man so great as the one mention ed above, and In tho course of the next three months will be known In evory I home In thld grand old state, of ours. I defy any man to produce anything that he has ever dene, that was not ! exactly the thing that any ,othor sen I sible man would have done. And I say again that it gives mo I the greatest of pleasure to. recom. mend R. I. Manning as a good, clean, KtraiKht-forward, honest, upright gentleman and one that will be at all ; time found doing his duty not In one bot In all respects. Any man that supports him cannot do a bettet* thing. o oooo d o.o o o's *. ? o oo ooo 0 i I .' .;.?' :i.-.:tv. - ?{ *ij o LONG BRANCH NEWS 0 0 j . : ? 0000000000000000 0 ooo Long Branch, Sept- 4.?On last Tuesday night, 26th, ult, tho angel of death entered the.home of Mr. Waltor King and took from them their dar-j ling little baby boy, Tommle.
