MANNING FOR PRIMARY RF
FORM.
Among thoso who favor primary
reform In South Carolina nono has
more consistently advocated a safe
and sane rev! ..on of the constitution
snd rules of the Democratic party
than Richard I. Manning, of Sumter.
Two years ago, when many of the
leaders, who in 1914 at the State
convention, were loud in their de?
mands for radical changes, were
afraid to tackle the proposition, Mr.
Manning fearlessly stood forth for
such action by tho party as should
safeguard the primary elections in
this State. At no time, however, has
he advocated any changes that would
deprive a voter qualified under the
party rules of the right of suffrage.
Fair elections In which the will of the
people shall be Independently ex?
pressed are dosircd by all who wish
that the integrity of the party shall
be upheld and In the tight to main,
tain honest primaries in South Car?
olina Mr Manning has been in the
foreground.
Mr. Manning's position in the State
convention was ' line with the views
that he had i.icrctofore expressed
with regard to primary reform. Tho
framing of the rules had been re?
ferred to a committee of which Mr.
Manning was not a member; in fact,
the rules had been practically agreed
upon the night before at a caucus.
Mr. Manning had favored the coun?
ty residence period being six months
Instead of making It a year because
many tenant farmers change their
rsr.tings at out Junuary 1st and the
requirement of the year in a county
would have cut these men out of
their vote. This view was adopted
snd incorporated into the rules.
He thought tho personal enroll,
ment plan would work hardship in
sparsely settled country communities
and wherever the voter lived far
sway from his secretary. He saw,
too, that the adoption of any drastic
rule would give a powerful weapon
to any who wished to stir up the pre?
judices of the people for their own
personal advancement. For these
reasons he was opposed to this
change but when the majority of the
committee Incorporated this provis?
ion into the rules the commttteo re?
ported. Mr. Manning did not fight the
matter on the floor of the conven.
tlon. and stated on the floor that he
would vote for the majority report.
He explaned his position when he
addressed tho convention saying:
"The question of supreme 1m
portaneo before the State Is tho mat?
ter of primay reform. It is abso?
lutely necessary that when an elec?
tion Is held among the whlto peo?
ple of tho ^t-ito the result, as declar
ed, must carry with It the conviction
that the will of the people bus been
Independently expressed und honestly
counted.
"We uro In a dangerous position,
for if such effectlvo reform Is not
made, thousands of our people will
not parthdpate in tho primary elec?
tion, on tho other hand. If drastic
action Is taken, 1 fear a split in the
party may result.
"I do not fuvor tho change In the
time of resldonce required in the ma?
jority report, but fuvor reducing the
time for residence In the county from
one yeur to six months.
"On the matter of personal enroll?
ment. I do not personally favor the
majority plan. but. recognising the
fact that differences of opinion exist
on what should be done, und that
we all hero to a" omplish a definite
result and that wo have to give IVB*!
take. I will vote for tho majority
plan for primary reform."
Mr. Manning voted outright for the
majority plan as adopted, while
pointing out to tho convention Urs
respects In which he thought the
commltteo had gone a step too far.
As In 1912, so In 191?. Mr. Manning
called upon the people of the State
to reform tho primary. He worked
with thoso who battled with the de?
tails and made the suggestions that
occurred to him as Just and right;
but when tho convention bad agreed
upon a plan ho stood by It as a I nun
ocrat should, und placed the wishes
of the majority of his party, as ex
pressed by the representatives, ubove
his own personal beliefs. There is
nothing in Mr. Manning's position to
criticize.
And John T. Duncan will also speak.

The success of the tick eradica?
tion campaign in Sumtcr county de?
pends in large measure upon the co?
operation of cattle owners. The
hearty and active cooperation of cat?
tle owners with the agents of the De?
partment of Agriculture will make
certain the completion of the work
within a year and the immeditae lift?
ing of the quarantine from Sumtcr
county.

There is still considerable talk of
there being a third candidate for the
senatorial ruco in opposition to Sen?
ator Smith and Gov. Mease. If a
strong man should announce himself
ho would be supported by a large
element who are not supporters of
either Smith or Illease.
? i ?
The numerous announced candi?
dates for governor show no dispo?
sition to get cold feet and drop out
of the race. Several of tho weak
brethren who have not a single
chance of being in the second primary
have already signed the pledge and
paid the entrance fee, which is a
guarantee that they will be on hand
when the campaign opens here on the
17th.

S) Si Si
The Mexican disturbance is appar?
ently little nearer settlement than it
was a month ago, and the mediation
conference is dragging on without
tangible results. It is probable, how?
ever, that the mediators have accom?
plished a great deal that, if known to
the public, would cause an entire
change of opinion, but which cannot
be disclosed until the negotiations are
further advanced without endanger?
ing the ultimate success of their
plans. It is well for tho unbiased and
unprejudiced public to suspend judg?
ment until the mediators make an
announcement of the results of the
conference. The enemies of the admin?
istration are seeking by every means
within their power to discredit Presi?
dent Wilson in the eyes of the public
and to accomplish this have not
scrupled to resort to misrepresenta?
tion.

EmJlient Authority Defines "Habit
Forming.''
Dr. Mallett, late professor of chem?
istry at the University of Virginia,
was one of the greatest scientists
that America has ever prod iced. He
received his Ph. D. degree from the
University of Gottingen; his M. D.,
from the State University of Lou?
isiana; his DL. D. from Princeton,
John Hopkins and the University of
of Pennsylvania. lie was honored
with the title of Fellow of the Royal
Society.
At various times he occupied the
chair of chemistry in the University
of Alabama, University of Texas,
Tulane University, Jefferson Medical
College and the University of Virgin?
ia, occupying the latter position for
nearly forty years.
Testifying as an expert beforo the
Federal Court, Dr. Mallet discussed
the caffeine containing betverages
(coffee, tea, Coca-Cola, etc) and
stated that his analysis showed that
Coca-Cola contains less caffeine than
either tea or coffee as ordinarily pre?
pared. He stated further that the use
of caffeine or beverages containing
caffeine in moderation, is not only
not harmful but absolutely beneficial.
Dr. Mallet explained why caffeine was
not a habit-forming substance and
gave the following scientific defi?
nition: "In the first place, I think
that the habit formed must bo a detri?
mental one and an injurious one, and
in the second place, one which be?
comes so firmly fixed upon a person
acquiring it that it is thrown off
with great difficulty and with consid?
erable suffering, and in the third
place, that the continued exercise of
tho habit increases the demand for
the habit-forming drug.?Advt.
