tolitical contests. In the momentous
itubernatorial election just ended, It

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

that of his political followers. The

within a few hundred votes of going
into the second primary over Mr. Man -
ning. 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.
