We do not regard this as a faetior al matter. There is a bigger faeU that should engage our best an most earnest consideration.

The guard on duty fired at the men just as they reached the ground 1 ,r) and broke up what the officers at j lo the State prison believe was a genas eral movement among the prisoners j to escape. Eight other prisoners who had gone to the roof were tak v, en ard returned to their cells, lo Howard Clark, white, serving a as life term for murder, who is believ-! I ed to be the leader of the movement, was the first prisoner to be r, captured after reaching the ground, lo Ten minutes later Tom Ammons, 1 serving a ten year term for man_ slaughter, was seized. The hunt le i for the other two prisoners, Clarence er Davis, serving a ten year sentence for attempted criminal assault, and I"' Luther Smith, serving a two year ... sentence for larceny of live stock, was kept up until 6 o'clock yester- ; id day morning, when the two men ie were found hiding in one of the , 11' buildings in the yard. jy The men on the top tier of the ( lls main building were not locked in 1 their cells Mondav night. A door ' leading to the roof was broken open.

I * MANNING'S STRENGTH GROWS Constantly?May Win In First Primary. Charleston, August 3:?"Because af the sharply drawn lines, definite and unequivocal, on public questions stirring the State of South Carolina today, I believe that only two cj ndiiates for Governor ?the incumbent, Richard I Manning,and ColeLBkase ?are to be considered, said l. [ 'rank McLeod, president of the Charleston Chamber of Commerce, today. "Particularly is this so in the low country," continued the Charleston business man. "where the people consider that a neutral position is not the proper attitude to take towards great and growing questions of the hour, questions that are constantly finding reiteration in the minds of South Carolinians. Manning and Blease have come out boldly and emphatically upon pointedly cleaved issues, and they are the ones that are being given grave consideration in the coming primary. Being in daily intimate touch with Charleston county, I am satisfied that Governor Manning will receive the preponderating consideration of the anti-Blease sentiment at the polls; and being familiar with the political sentiment in other parts of the low country,I am satisfied that the Sumter candidate will receive enough votes in this section to give him a majority in the first primary over the four other gubernatorfal candidates ?if not a majority, then a tremendous plurality. I make this statement after careful consideration and a close scrutiny of this section of the State." Mr McLeod said that he is firmly of the belief that the people of South Carolina want all the laws of the State enforced impartially, and that, in this respect, the people have confidence in Governor Manning for the splendid success that he has made in the enforcement of the law and the maintaining of order throughout the Commonwealth. "VnrtViormrirA T om r>f tho nn. qualified opinion," continued Mr McLeod, "that the people believe in the promotion of education in the public schools; believe that the officials should do all in their power to see that the laboring man gets a 'square deal'; believe that every comfort possible should be given the unfortunate patients in the State hospital for the insane; believe that the verdicts of the juries and the decrees of the courts should be respected; believe that agriculture should be taught in ' the common schools; and believing these things and having the knowledge that Gov ernor Manning stands for all these views,they are going to support him at the polls and stamp their approval on his administration by re-electiDg him for a second term." Expressions like these from the president of the Charleston Chamber of Commerce are being voiced in every section of the low country and the popularity of Governor Manning is constantly increasing. Many who have not supported him are coming over to his side?knowing that he stands for concrete issues and will oe unswerving in the fulfillment of lis pledges. Limited Capacity. "That chorus girl is very attractive. I'd like to give her a small part." "I don't think she could learn a part." "Still, she is so pretty that I should like to feature her in some way." "Well, you might let her raise her eyebrows in response to something said. I tliink she could learn to do that."?Kansas City Journal. Monument to Adam.

NEWS CHRONICLES FROM LAKE CITY. PHENOMENAL SALES OF TOBACCO AT HIGH PRICES-ITEMS OF PERSONAL INTEREST. } Lake City, August 9:?Our tobac co market is in full swing. All warehouses are running full handed, and all buyers who patronize our market have their representatives here. The quantity of tobacco coming in exceeds by far what was expected after the recent disaster; in fact, it1 was not belieyed that so much tobacco was in the country. Up to last Saturday a million pounds had been sold. Monday and Tuesday of this week close on to half a million pounds more were sold. The prices are not only satisfactory, but are fine. Of course there >s a great swing in prices, ranging from 5 to 6 cents to 50 and even 60 cents, but what is better, the average is excellent. For instance, the average on the lot sold Mondav was more than three tim< s the average for last year and : than for any previous year since the establishment of the State market. The county campaign meeting will be held here next Thursday. Of course there will be the usual windjamming, etc, etc. Mr I J Coward, generally known by his middle name, "Jesse", died Tuesday morning at his home, some four miles from town.
