The new dances are to involve "less mental effort," it is said, but it has never seemed to us that those who do the old ones were suffering from brain fag.--Greenville News. The trouble with the rotund editor of The News is, that he is jealous because he never could dance even the old ones. If Governor .\tainnin;g i.; gaining as rapidly all over the stale as he is in this section, one primary will very nearly end the race for governor. Nearly evey day somebody sees the light and decides to stand by the man who has done exactly what we elected him to do. Gov. Manning's re election is assured. What we would like to see is his re-election on the first ba.llot.-Spartanburg Journal. What The Journal man needs to do is to get out of hi3 office and talk to some of the "folks" about political conditions. If he will, we rather think that he will come to find that rather than being elected on the first ballot, Gov. Manning will come nearer to be ing eliminated entirely on the first ballot. *a* s The bursting of the l'oxaway dam and the subsequent damage done by the flood waters naturally raises the question as to the rights of any one or more persons to bring about such a change in the land as nature leaves it as to endanger the lives and proper ty of others. Heretofore, speaking of ourselves only, we have only thought of the rights and property of those above the damns whose properties are flooded by the steadily rising waters held in check by the newly erected structures of mortar and rock. To them there is only the damage to pro perty, wfile to those below such struc tures there is not only the danger of damu-ge to property but to life as well. For this rerAon the government should take some hand in the inspection of these large dams. .. * M "Both sides concede "Manning as their strongest opponent," said Bireth ern Sparks and Cormack in an illum inating political prognostication ap pearing in various papers several days ago. Well, to be fair with you, boys, we don't see how you figure it out. We don't consider Gov. Manning the strongest opponent of either of the other twvo factors. Mr. Cooper couldh easily beat .\lr. Manning in a second r'ace. Mr. itlease certainly could beat Mr. Manning easier' than he could Mr. Cooper and some people, more tihan you think, can't figure out how Mr'. Alanning can beat Mr. Illease at all. Now, just to give you boys a lit tle pilece of advice, you had better go slowv In your political prognostications. You might put Gov. Manning in the second race with Mr.~ lilease, but then you might not get, him any further. Play the game fair'. Let the public know wvhen you are a newsp~aper man and when you t urn caimplaign writer. * * * * * * * * * * * V * * * ** * ED)EN NE:WS. * ** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Eden.
