Miss Agnes Ravenel, superintendent of the elementary y department of State organization, h was with the county officers in the v conventions and her addresses on ii Sunday-school Work inspired much v interest in the work throughout the a county. The county officers sue- 1 ceeded in getting Mr Charlton Du- d Rant of Manning, an enthusiastic S Sunday-school worker, who gave a the district conventions the benefit c of his experience in organized adult i: Bible classes. Mr DuRant has a a class of 126 men in his home town, d Manning. I Williamsburg was never before fully organized, but the officers cooperating with the district presidents, are much encouraged over S the interest now being taken in the a Sunday-school work and they hope p with continued co-operation to be 3 able to reach the highest standard e of county efficiency at the State con- 3 vention which meets in Spartanburg i in May, 1917.

Confining himself in his speeches n the stump to a discussion of the sues and problems of the day; tanding squarely on the Democratic latform, pledging loyal support to be Administration, Mr Mclnnes has eclined to be drawn into any per5nal controversy with either of his pponents, and has not indulged in buse, ridicule or personalities. This is as it should be, and the jpport which Mr Mclnnes is receivlg is an indication of a healthy pubc sentiment. Darlington county Jay well be proud of the enviable ?putation which Mclnnes has made )r himself, and should give sub:antial evidence of its pride and apreciation by casting practically a )lid vote for him on the 29th infant. The number of those who re rallying to Mclnnes' support in ther counties will doubtless stimuite his friends at home to redouble leir efforts. The editor of The News and Press as had the privilege of reading a umber of private letters to Mr Mcmes and his friends, bringing the ews that the tide of public sentiient is running strongly in his faor in all sections of his district, 'hich causes his friends to feel that is strength is even greater than ley at first had hoped for. This support is the more gratifyjg from the fact that it is purely oluntary, and the fact that Mclnes, who was practically unknown utside of this county when he first nnounced his candidacy, has so conucted himself as to warrant enlusiastic efforts in his behalf on the art of good men and true in all arts of the district, is a high tribute > his character and worth.
