MANNING EJECTS QUESTION IN RACE AT ORANGEBURG. URE OF PARDONING POWER Law Enforcement Comes to Front In Discusaions-Education is Not so Prominent in Recent Meetings. The trip last week of the State campaign party completed the circuit of the low country, where it has been for the last seven weeks. From now on until August 20 the candidates for state ofices will make their pleas for suffrage In the Piedmont section and because of the much larger number of voters they must face it is expected that attacks on the public records of candiates will play an important role In eleetioneering. The meepno last week were at St. George, Orangeburg and St. Matthews on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, respectively. . At each meeting where statements bearing -onthe aenatorial rco were mede it was verf evident that the sentiments of the -andience Vero In favor of E. D Emth, can [ for re-electon an Uted States senstor. In striking contrast, how ever, was the political meeting and pIcnic at Fibert on Friday, when friends of the governor were far In the majority. The meeting at Filbert in 3 York county was not a scheduled meetiag of the candidates and there were only a few present. I R. I. Manning Ejects Bleaseism. -Richard I. Mayning of Sumter, can idate -for governor, furnished the sensation of :the week when at the Osiageburg meeting he injected the question of Blessesm .into the race. It came unexpectedly as Mr. Manning -had constantly pleaded that faction e mbe laid as'de, and for this very resao he was taken to account at the meedng at St. Matthews by W. C: Irby, Jr., and Charles Carroll Simms candidates for governor, and friend. of the governor. "The one tremedous issue beforf the people of South Carolina in thii campaign," said Mr. Manning in part P. "Is the condition of demorallzatior is A about by Go*.

All are in favor of mpandlng education among the white people, but the question of the educa tIon of the negro, who are In a ma }ority in this state of almost a quarter 9t a million; continues to bob up as an argument against compulsory edu cation. Fl Clinkscales Decries "Nigger Scare." John G. Clinkecales, candidate for governor, is the sole advocate of a statemide compulsory school attend ance law and continually decries the "nigger scare" advasced by some of his opponents as an argument againSt the education of the whites. Robert A. Cooper advocates "provision and ample school facilities," with espec- G ial care that the chidren of the coun try districts be as well prepared to go to school as the children in the cities. before the enactment of a law that would force all children into school. r He stated also that a statewide school attendance law at this time could not be enforced. Against Compulsory Education. As against these positions on com pulsory education are the statements of Mendel'I . Smith and Richard 1. Manning, who advocate local option in the questions of education and liquor. Lowndes J. Browning of Union, can didate for governor, has not advocated any general system or plan of educa tion, but -has stated that a statewide compulsory education law wou in crease the tax levy five mills, which the people of the state are not pre pared to stsnd. Charles A. Smith hls, said that he was in favor of aay step that would advance the came of ed cation in this state. Directly opposed to these views of the compulsory edu cation asue is that of John G. RIch rds, who states that he Is fuadaie aly lopod to comp nelg educaSon on Ando-Samen 9eople.

Lawndes I Browing and 'W. C. ky, Jr., are strong advocates of the amaenot f a rural credits law, which win enable farmers to own their farms and homes. Mr. Browning and Mr. Irby would like to see .the state loan money at a low rate of ntrest to prospcfTe -white farmers and to the psment farmers, so that ,tey can remain in he .country as . preducers intead of going to te cities and .m- cosatoars.
