The people have in lute yearn forgotten the office in the ruck of personal politics. Putting men in office should be Just like putting men in charge of depart- I menta of industries. The ilrst thing lo bu sought should be character, the second, ability, and then personality, j No mau should be given public office or honor or place of trust who la without honor or character or man hood . And thou it ls possible to have men in office who have character but no imagination or vision or purpose or largeness of perspective. It ls neces sary of course, to havo character, but if ?wo men of apparently the sarao de gree of character offer for public place, the next consideration ia intel lect. And lt ?B sometimes quite impos sible iu a limited acquaintance to es timate the degree of intellectuality of men in public life. When tho chances are even, tho voter should next refer to personality und sfeiltabll ty. There are certain ofilcea which re- j quire men of one tempermcnt. other offices require the services of men of entirely different cast ot life. Some places require poise, others require aggressiveness. Some require tech nical training .in the law or in the art of calculations, etc. Sut the ofllce of governor of the state roqulres a man of common sense and of charac ter. We believe in a man who bas his own respect, but sometimes a man may ride a hobby until he thinks he is a whole calvalcade of horsemen. Egotism is not necessarily a sign of force. Modesty along with solf con fidence ls the sign of the true man, the lovable man. The empty wngon ratties the loudest and the man with a single Idea can make a great deal of fuss, especially If that one Idea is his own importance. With these few prefatory remarks we wish to Bay that our personal choice for governor of the state ls Richard I. Manning of Sumter. We had hesitated to express an opinion up to the meeting of yesterday, for the writer baa had a long and pleas ant personal ecqunintunce with ev ery gentleman in the race for govern* or, and respects alike such men as Cooper, Irby. Browning. Mendel Smith, Richards, Clinkscales, Charles Carroll Sims and some of the others who may be factors In the race. We do not assert that Mr. Manning has any chance to win. We believe that he has. The Eastern part of the state is strong for him. We hope that he ls a factor tn the race and wo be lieve that he ls from the manner in which he was attacked by the others. It 1B the lead horse In the robe whom the trailers try to foul. And that gives us the impression that Mr. Manning is the leading candidate for the office of governor. We\ havo long known him to bo a man or character, ot vision, of. sym pathy, of honesty and of reliability, j And we believe that If' he is elected ! governor there will be In that office ?a man whom every South Carolinian will in time come to love. He is a man of gentle manners but of un doubted courage; he la a man who la proud of hlB state, proud ot the men whose blood flows In his veins and before he would be guilty of one Ig noble act as governor of the state, he would lay down his life. There are other splendid men In the race .for governor and we will not discount their ability, their capaci ty or their character, but we believe in truth that the man' who would most honor' South Carolina Is Richard I. . Manning, of Sumter, who should be permitted to, come into ? bia own, for ho would bave been governor i long ago but fdr the difference of I opinion of the people of the state in i the- matter ot handling the liquor question. ?

Mr. Su 11 i vu ti. who is a lawyer well known in the l'ledmout region of the slate, delivered a brilliant and elo quent address on "Sentiment Not to bo Overlooked In tho Conduct or Building und Loan Associations." The sneaker held the audience spell, hound for over an hour, not only by his masterly delivery but by the orig inal manner in which he treated thc subject. Never In the history of movement, did an orator ;..?.'- ?ueh an impression upon building ai" men us Mr. Sullivan did. At the retiucst cf ?he New York del egation to the convention. Mr. Sulli van has consented to deliver an ad dress to the New York state league of ravines und loan associations ut Its annual convention next summer. All the kings In Europe were out visiting when the war started. This means that they ought to stay on the job or let the people get a lot ot new kings.

MONEY QUESTION IN CITY OF MEXICO Currency Now Used May Be Discarded Under the New Regime Mexico City, Aug. 17.-The banks of the capitol which closed la..t Thursday probably will be open to morrow. The question of a circulat ing medium is causing some uneasi ness in the business circles. At pres ent, four distinct issues of bunk notes arc being passed in ordinary busi ness transactions. The public evinces a disposition not to accept the bank notes of the issue of July 25, which are guaranteed by six per cent gold bonds, of the notes Issued by the Huerta regime through State banks thon located in territory controlled by the Constitutionalist ar my. The paper or the Constitutional ist army IB being freely circulated and accepted. A commission composed of repre ' sen tat ives of the clearing house banks } has* asked General Carranza to define j the attitude of his new government I as to the present legal tender. It ? ls believed thnt a provisional ruling I will be made tomorrow, thus permit ! ting a resumption of banking opera . tionp-. Wednesday has been declared a national holiday in honor of the entry into the capital of the main body of the Constitutionalist army and Gen ? eral Carranza, the new Provisional I president. Elaborate preparations {have been made for the inauguration ?of the new regime. Already reconstruction plans aro un der way and it is expected that tho through freight and passenger traffic will be resumed ovor tho National Railway lines by way of Laredo and El Paso within a fortnight. Memorial services were held today over the graves of former President Madero and former vice-President Suarez, who were killed February 23 in the revolt wbich placed Victoriano Huerta in the residency. The services were conducted by the Constitutional general. Obregon. After tbe eulogy was pronounced the graves were dec. orated with wreaths and the troops fired a salute of 21 guns. THE POOR SWISS Are Surrounded by Warring Na Hons And Need Money Washington, Aug. 17.-Dr. Paul Ritter, the Swiss minister, again to day made representations to the state department In behalf ot his govern ment for a loan of gold from the Uni ted States. Switzerland, in state of siege, with practically her entire male pop ulation under arma is facing a serious question In regard to feeding her ar my. . \ Central Figures In Senate Fight Against "Pork Bar'i Photos by American Presa Association. ONE of the bitterest fights ever waged against "pork bar'l" legislation h being fought in the senate now by a handful of senators against tbi rivers and harbors appropriation bill. That bili on its face called foi $43,330,000, the largest cash appropriation ever carried in a measure o! this kind. One of the sharpest criticisms is that, uside from these direct ap proprlatlons and authorizations, the bill under what Senator Burton of Ohio calls its "dribbling system" reuliy implies the ultimate expenditure of untold nuJlions on projects of little If any value. Ono of the striking illustration. I sieged extravagances of the measure is the item' for the carrying on u; tue improvement work on the Mississippi river between the,mouths of the Mis k-ouri and Ohio rivera That work was begun In 1881 with an estimated totni coat of $10,000,000. Already $17,000,000 has been expended on the project, am1 the estimate carried In this year's bill for completing the work yet to be dom ls $17,250,000. Senator Martin of Virginia is chairman of the appropriation. committee? Senator Martin is the upper figure in the illustration, Senutoi Burton the lower. TJnc?? Dave's Letter WHAT IS LIKE I Tho question, What is your life? naturally suggest four- divisions: : 1. What is your life physically? g. What is your life mentally? 3. What iB your life morully? 4. What is your life spiritually? Take a juan and remove from him all will power; he becomes-a degen erate, a man without u character. Next, remove from him ajl intellect, and without power and intellect he becomes the most helpless of idiots. Theu remove, from him all sensibility -the faculty by which he feels pain aud pleasure-and without will, intel lect and sensibility you will have a mere machine, tt e physical man. Take u grain of wheat, grind lt on a mortar until it is separated into the most minute particles and then place these particles under the most pow erful mlcrosc pe known and even then you cannot discover life. A celebrated scientist defined life us the adjustment of inner organism-* to environment. Hut the mind of man has not yet solved the mystery. God alone knows the secret. There are a great many other things we do not know. We do not now what electric, tty is, although that mighty force waa old when Benjamin Franklin discovered the existence of such a power. Neither do we know, what mattet la. Oui4 text-books on physics tell us that mutter ls composed Of molecules and molecules i of aiora/a, and atoms of millions of inns-and what Is matter? The bys* aclenti . minds of the world answer, "We do not know." " What ls our life mentally? The psychologist tells us that mind ls that which feels, wills and thinks: It ls the conscious self the ego; but Ute question, Wi'.at ia mind, still remains unanswered. What a wonderful thing is mind! 'ipny tell us that the dis tance from the earth to the sun ls 93)000,000 reties. Traveling at thu rate of fit- miles a minute, day and night, lt would take 1,769 yeara ta reach lt. Put Into our physical man a trained' mind, and we have made one more step toward the Ideal man. Mind is necessary to progress. The bird makes its nest exactly as its an cestors of 1,000 years ago. No mind -no progress. Mind is responsible for the great discoveries of the- nine? teenth cetnury. Within that century says Alfred P.*usaell there were thir teen Inventions of the first rank-rail ways, steam navigation, electric tele graph, telephone, friction matches gas lighting,, photography; phone raph, Roenten rays, spectrum unaly sis, use of anerthetics, and antisep tic surgery.. .' . ' What ls your life ' morally? ' Mental lite deals with the intellect; mOral life with the will." But tnt mental and moral are ' closely con . nected. As a man thlnkolh In nh heart, so ls he. We have put Into om sensible physical man a trainee mind. We have not yet a guaranteer man of worth. Bacon waa known ai the wisest of men. and tho meanest We must now add moral worth; for l Ia the balance ?.?eel of every Individ ual, and of society as well. ' itt" What is your life spiritually? This ia the most i mariant .question Eternal life ls not a vapor, ' Physics life ls a vapor (fog), but et er nhl Itt? * 'v/y "'... r->\ ' is a never ending sunshine. You may have a strong physical body, a train, ed iuiud, and be morally good (in the commonly accepted meaning of thal phrase) yet miss real life. The tes timony of many attests thc truth ot the statement. Each man tries to find life in his work, but reu*, life lies back of it. To the preacher life's a sermon, To the miser life is money, To the loafer life is rest. To the lawyer life's a trial, To the doctor life's a patient That needs treatment right along. I To the teacher life's a sc?iool; To the soldier life's a battle. Life's a good thing to tbs grafter, It's a failure to the fool. To the man upon the engine, Iiife'B a long and heavy grade; To the merchant life is trade. To tho rascal life's a fraud; Life ls but a long vacation To the man who loves his work; .Life's an everlasting effort * To Bbun duty, to the shirk. To the eternal Christian worker Lifes a story ever new; Life is what we try to make tt Brother, what ls life to you? Heal life is not a property of physl atome. nor docs it lie In mental at tainment, in occupation or the wealth we possess, but tn that which Inspires us to live for eternity. For what is man profited if lie shall gain the i whole world and lose his own soul? Or what shall a mun give in exchange for his soul? Bringing the question still closer, which would you rather ,have, If you had to mnke u choice .ona hundred millions if dollars, lands, house.* automobiles, etc.. or a sure hope of ci ornai life? Ah, physical life ls but a vapor but eternal life endures. Our Savior said: "Whoso ever livetii and believeth in Me shall / never die." The history of Christianity has been one of sacrifice. The real I pillows of our churches are not those of wood and stone w i le h you Bee, bul they ar e the consecrated lives of men 'and women whose sacrifice has made , its existence possible. Thus it hat been in all ages. Would you know what real life is? Seek iChvlst. nPhll Ups Brooks when asked whativAs^tfti greatest text said: There ? 1*. only one text-"I am come that they'mighl have life and that they mighti have nfc more abundantly."
