LOSTFREGHT CARS Tracing Them Is Often a Hard Job For the Railroads. HIDE AWAY LIKE CRIMINALS. One of These Runaways, That Holds the Truancy Record, Was Visiting Around For Two Years and Had Been In Nearly All of Our Big Cities.

Alo, t of the great battles of history laven been won by reinforcementis hich saved (lie day or lost because hey failed to arrive. The same sit tation has often presented itself in tolitical contests. In the momentous itubernatorial election just ended, It vas ltobert. A. Cooper and his pslendid egious who rallied almost as one man o the Anti-Illease standard and turn d the tide of battle for an Anti-Ilease victory. Without their whole-hearted tIupport, Manning would have gone town into defeat. They (lid not sulk n their tents, but unreservedly went nto the battle against Itlease, tighting is sIrenttosly for Mlanning as Ithey had fought for their leader in the first truggle. The first aet f Governor' .lannitig, after his ack nowledgemenit of his debt o the people of South Carolina, was to end a message to \r. Cooper PrePPss lng gratitude for his support and for that of his political followers.

In the campaign this year, a great proportion or people believe d that \i r. Cooper would go into the sec ond race against Mr. lilease and that he would have a bolter chance of heat ing hin than Mir. Manning would have. Defeated, although receiving an excel lent vote, Mr. Cooper's first act was a strong and unqualified declaration thai he would support Manning in the see ond race. This was the bugle call, loud and clear, that rallied his men to the side of Governor Manning. They Put their fighting cothes on and did all within their power to elect him. (')specially in Greenville county did they assist the Manning cause, taking equal part with the Manning leaders In the battle for tile ballots. The most energetic and effective Cooper leadeI in this countiy in the first primary, W. T. Itenderson, did simply magnitieeni work for Manning and deserves great measure of tle credit for the Manning miaijority in Greenville.

To vary an old quotation, it aty be said of Rtoberb A. Cooper, "taller hie seems in defeat." lie was not obliged to support Mr. Manning; he might have remained silent but Iis course embodied tle counlsel of Polonius "''o Ithite own self be true; And it must follow, as the night the day.
