The recent declination of the Hon. Richard i. Manning of Sumter to enter the race this year for the governorship has been the occasion of very general comment by the various newspapers or the Stale. The chief significance of Mr. Manning's withdrawal, as reflected in many editorial expressions, and in the opinion of numbers of public and private citizens who are familiar with the situation, H?h in the iact Ihut ii practically assurres the election of Mr, Foatherstone. However, whatever bearing (he changed political alignments may have upon tin* race. Mr. Feat heist one is prepared to wage a vigorous campaign, both from the standpoint of a prohi bitionist, and a business man of large experience. Commenting on the gubernatorial race with reference to the situation as brought about by Mr. Manning's deci sion the Columbia Record says: "From the present situation it ap pears that Hie race for governor will open up with M.r. Featkerstone appeal ing most strongly to the prohibition vote, by reason of his long advocacy of thai policy, and to the conservative, business element by reason of his ability as a lawyer and business man." And in this connection the following extract from an editorial article ap pearing in The Advertiser several months ago relative to Mr. Feather stone as a "business man" and bis con sistent efforts in behalf of prohibition is reproduced: "tie (Mr. Featberstone) is a success ful and practical business man: is one of the strongest lawyers in the State; he has had experience in the direction of large affairs: his reputation is un spotted; he lias that best of balance wheels, "a saving sense of humor." and he has common sense. He is no half-way man in anything and, regard less or his \iows on the liquor traffic, he would administer the affairs of the commonwealth in a wise and successful manner. We know of no man who has less of the fanatic In his temperament, and as governor his course would be directed by the same broad-guaged judgment that would make him the successful head of a plantation, a bank or a railroad "And again. Mr. Featherstone has clone twice as much for the cause of prohibition as has any other living man in South Carolina. When the pro hibition campaign of ISftS was about to collapse Mr. Featherstone seized Its fallen banner and the race he made for governor was one of the most re markable in the recent history of the State. The people discovered then thai he was a man of power, and in spite of the domination of th eState dis pensary he lacked only about three thousand votes of defeating the late Cover nor 1011 erbe, who bad also the second-term sentiment in bis favor. In 1000 Mr. Featherstone exerted himself to the utmost to bring about the elec tion of the late Col. .lames A. Hoyt, and during bis whole career be has been not only a consistent but a work ing prohibitionist." ? ? ?

Ulnes of Seneca which was rend beforo tho State Medical association here last week and which had for its theme "Medical Inspection of Schools," prob- i ably created more general interest. than any other. It was an appeal for legislative enactment and the asso ciation, after endorsing the paper, re-, ferred it to its committee on leglsla-? tlon. Dr. Mines is a member of the State, board of health, chairman of the hoard of trustees of the Seneca schools, and Withal a very accomplished gentleman. He has made personal examination or Inspection of the children in the Seneca schools, and his paper included re ports of these investigations. While here i>r. nines took occasion to visit; the city school, and upon the Invlta-1 tlon of Sunt. Jones made a little talk, telling something about the work at i Soneca. He complimented the Laurens; school and its management upon the adoption of a hygienic system, the line school building, grounds and so on. Dr. Hines points out that the physi cal side of school life has been made secondary to that of the mental and moral, and then proceeds to show that the conservation of tho children is the most Important thing in this country. "The school child is the greatest asset, the mil ion has and as such wo can turn our attention to no more potent force for tin' nation's good. That the1 function of the physician." continues Dr. Hines "nhould not cease With the birth of the child Is conceded, that is has done so in many instance's is con. elusive, and that the oversight of the child's environment and tho child it self through school life has been neg lected by the profession tit large is undoubted. Childhood is where the foundation should be laid broad and firm or else the superstructure will fall short of the development which should follow. This is the most op portune moment I believe in which to launch a State-wide movement for the hygiene of the school child." His review of the work at Seneca, beginning last September, is here given: "The staff of examiners consisted of two competent dentists, tin eye and ear. nose and throat specialist, two general practitioners and a secretary, tho teachers rendering efficient aid at times. There was 200 pupils and from f*. to IS years?consisting of all pupils from first and the tenth grades?with the following results: Teeth defects -Number of pupils. 153;number of?defective teeth, 600. Tonsils defects?Number of pupils, Enlarged glands?Number of pupils, 24. Adenoids -Number of pupils, three with a number of suspects. Eye defects -Number of pupils, 19. Nasal Defect:; Number of pupils, three. Skin lesions Number of pupils, 2. Orthopedic, defects?Number of pu pils, four. Teeth brushed daily -Number of pu pils, 170. Cards of record were used to retain and send parents. Cards for school government, sanitation, lighting, heat-1 Ing etc. I can not find any report on the ne gro school child in the South. I ex. aminod a representative number and found in general faulty nutrition, prac tically all with teeth defects?contrary to the idea that prevails, Fewer se rious tonsil defects, compared to the whites; more skin lesions. I did not examine for adenoids. A fair propor tion bad used the tooth brush. I also examined a representative number of cotton mill children among the whites. Ninety per cent, bad bad teeth, not one used a tooth brush. The other defects differed little from the average school child." Dr. Mann to Preach. Rev. Dr. .1. T.

This, to aay nothing of hits record as a consistent, staunch prohlUitlonlst which as we see It, makes him only the more desirable For this honorable and responsible position. Feeling this way we are glad to note that Mr. Richard I. Manning has with drawn from the race and we are quite sure many others feel the same way. In this connection wo wish to en ter a protest against the part one or two preachers?who are no doubt pro hibitionists?are taking in trying to get the support of prohibitionists for Mr. Hyatt, of Columbia. Mr. Myatt. at Is seems to us, is not in it, and to bring him out will only serve to de crease the majority for Featherstone. Of course, there are people who would like to see prohibitionists di vided, but we should not do the thing that our friends the enemy with us to do. All together for Featherstone for governor, and Chas. A. Smith for lleu tenant governor and wo shall win with hands down.?Greenwood Journal. I,nuicns .Man Has the Lead. The announcement that Hon. R. I. Manning of Sumter will not be In the nice for governor this year comes as a surprise, and It Is the most im portant piece of political news that we have had in some time. It has been generally thought that Mr. Manning would be In the race. He is everywhere recognized as one of tho ablest and cleanest met) in the State, and no man in the State is more popular personally. lie would have had a strong following in every section If he had been iii the race. The an nouncement of his decision will no doubt he received with keen regret by a great many people who had hoped for the pleasure of supporting him. Mr. Mannings action, we believe, practically assures the election of Hon. C. C. Featherstone of Haurens. There will be other candidates in the He!4> of course, but Mr. Featherstone has such a long lead that we do not think it can be overcome. At the same time we assume that Mr. Featherstone f.nd his friends will not take too much for granted but will make a vigorous cam paign from start to finish.?Anderson Daily Mail. DANISH CATARRH.

County Trustees' Association. A few weeks ago over one hundred of the trustees of the schools of Lau rens County met in the court house and perfected an organization to be known as "The Trustee Association of the Schools of Laurens County." No organization should be brought in to existance without a definite work ! | in view. That work should have as i | its goal the rendering of the greatest assistance** to the greatest number I of individuals in the community In which it operates. The object of the Trustee association of the Schools of Laurens county is to furnish to every child In the county the opportunity of attaining a first class High school ed ucation. Having received the High school training, it will not be such a difficult matter to go through college If he so desires. Retter prepared teach ers, longer term and more comforta ble school houses tire some of the more important things we need, very trustee In Laurens county is a mem ber of this association whether he wants to be or not. We want to ac quaint you Mr. Trustee with your du ties to your teacher, patrons and school in general. This association should bring the trustees of the county In closer touch with each other. By so doing we should be of great help to each other. Let every trustee pledge himself to make this association a great value to all the schools In our territory. Our next meeting was to he in June, but Supt. Pitts suggested that as the trustees were to be appointed In July, it would be better to have It in July. Due notice will be given of said meet ing and we want every trustee In the county to be present. Every school should add to. build a new or renovate their school building where It Is need ed. Help can be obtained from State and county to do this work. If a school will raise $100.00 the State will give S?O.OO and the county will give $50.00. The maximum amount given by State and county is $000.00 provided the school district will raise an equal amount. This is a most excellent ehnnce to Improve that old delapidated OUt-Of-dOte building of yours. So Mr. Trustee see Supt. Pitts at once about this mater. This is one of your many duties. Do not put off electing your, teachers for another year until I'.O days before your school Is to open. Now is the time, before your teachers leave, tell them you want them, if you do (?). If you do not, just keep your mouths shut, unless they nsk you. Pay your teacher a decent salary and you will get a better teacher. Remember you can't get a teacher now at the salary you paid 20 years ago. Pay better salaries and demand better services. Let the trustees of Laurens county awake to their opportunities and wo will have better conditions along school lines at a very early date. Respectfully, W. Carl Wharton. Pres. Truateo Association.
