The overwhelming majority rolled up again t Governor Blease and most of the Blease candidates signifies that the people of South Carolina RgjWi; " have determined to wipe out Bleaseism and redeem South Carolina from its blighting influence. Hut the job is 1 ?nt half completed. If the vote 'ast in the tiv~t primary l>e indicative of the sentiment of the people all over the State, it meanthat Richard I Manning will he our next Governor. Mr M inning i- opposed by John G Richards,who now holds the office of Railroad Commissioner,with four years more to serve. He took occasion at everv campaign meeting to state that he intended to support Blease for the Senate, thus gaining the appellative of "coat-taii swinger" from the anti-Blease candidates for Governor and "camp-follower" from Mr Irby, a rival Blease Gu!?er; notorial candidate. Mr Richards has l>een somewhat of a weather-vane in politics. First a Tillmanite, then a Jonesite and now a Bleaseite. At one time a strenuous champion of the old State dispensary, then a pronoun* ed prohibitionist and now an ardent local optionist. It is hard t?> say what he will be two years hence. Is such a i""man fit to be Governor? Richard I Manning will undoubtn : .1 11 ecuy win n any eonsiuenuue majority of the people turn out and vote, but, with the victory in their grasp, the suprxirters of Manning should take no chances. Let every man go t<> the polls and expres- his choice, whether for Manning or for Richards. ?f as many as a hundred thousand vote- be cast we Udieve Manning will Le nominated by be*' tween forty and titty thousand majority. Manning is the man! "Making Them Sweat." In the light of recent political history the following clipping from the Columbia State of August 11 . is amusing: "Tbo tieeernur airain declared lie would be nominated for the Senate and a Bleaseite for Governor, 'and for the next six years I'm going to make 'em (anti-Uleaseites) sweat, just like now, and a Bleaseite Governor is going to make 'em sweat, too," continued the < Jnvernor." So Governor Bleasc said la^t Saturday in I Arlington?the quotation being from the Charleston News and Courier, which, we Udieve, lie has praised a- a "fair newspaper." ; I Look out for old General Apathy.

What puzzles us in this election is how Thomas II Beepies won out for Attorney General over a man like A G Briee. ______ Sumter has always stuck to Williamsburg politically; now, let V 1 us reciprocate and roll up a big majority for the red-headed gamecock, It I Manning. After all,it is the farmers' vote in South Carolina that really count-, and the farmers of the State were not so foolish as to vote to oust the only representative they have had in the j Cnited State- Senate for many year-.

Special to The County Record. Lake City, September 1:?A doz-j en farmers from Nichols, Ga, and ' surrounding community, with Mr S J Brown, a son of Mr Harvey Brown, \ formerly of the Cades section of Williamsburg county, this State, { came to Lake City last Wednesday evening:, bringing with them a carload of tobacco to be sold on the; markets here. While in Lake City the visitors were entertained by members of the Chamber of Commerce. In the forenoon on Thurs-! day they attended the sales in the warehouses, noting the method of handling the weed on the warehouse j floors, the manner in which it is i I cared for after it is bought, the va- i rious processes incident to its sale, | j acid finally the "sale." In the afterIr.oon the visitors were given an automobile ride over surrounding . sections, at which time the merits of the crop were discussed in detail; after the ride they were given a barbecue at the plantation of Mr J M Truluck, near town. A number of the business men, the to| bacco warehousemen, buyers and others interested in the tobacco industry here were invited to the feast, as a generous supply had been prepared, and a score of farmers of this section were also there to receive and entertain the visitors. The carload of tobacco was sold at the various houses at this place, and despite the fact that it was the first ever produced in that community, it brought unusually fair prices. A I letter of thanks has been received . here from the chairman of the committee of visitors, expressing their appreciation for the hearty and pleasant entertainment tendered them while here. Mr E L Brown of Columbia, formerly of this place, is spending a few days of his vacation here with his parents. Mist.

Mr B YV McElveen, who was successfully elected in the recent eiec tion to the office of Magistrate at j Cades, and who, we be'ieve is your _ correspondent at White Oak, was a pleasant caller while in town mar-1 keting tobacco last Thursday. Mr Chas W Muldrow, a candidate for the House of Representatives, and Dr W S Lynch, both of whom will run again, were in town yesterday. Much interest is manifested here over the coming second primary in the Gubernatorial race. Despite the I dark and foreboding war news, the I strongest line of talk these days is j politics. Mrs J L Guyton of Pinopolis and Mrs W M Hare of Beaufort are visiting their sister, Mrs Geo C Hasel ion, ai mis piace. Miss Mildred Muldrow is the charming guest of her cousin, Miss Blanche Stuekey, of this place. Miss Elizabeth Jones has returned, after a delightful week in Manning, the guest of relatives. Miss Ila Howie has returned home from a pleasant visit to her sister, Mrs Davis Powers, in Charleston Miss Elsie Holland is at home, after a prolonged stay with relatives at Dunn, N C. Mr Z H Powell, president of the Deep River Lumber Co, is here for a few days. LBN. Blease and Bleaseism. (Published by request). Twice elected Governor of South Carolina, to the shame of its decent citizenship, Coleman L Blease's ambition to be a Senator of the United States has been defeated at the primaries. The result is of more than local interest, for it promises the rehabilitation of an American commonwealth and consigns to private life a vicious character.

I man in a responsible position to be as depraved as Blease has appeared to be; yet we have Senator Tillman's word for it that the Governor's ; lawlessness, brutality and vulgarity are natural and not assumed. Ho l has been encouraged in his violence, ! perhaps, by the belief that it was I popular, but at heart he is a ruffian and a blackguard without a rival in our political history. While self-respecting Carolinians have fought Blease to a finish, they have not yet killed Bleaseism. To do this they must educate the people.
