C. A. Smith, who Is trying to make
a few votes by rldini: the old prohibit?
ion steed. Is annoying Prof. Clink
scales by reminding him that, al?
though he claims to be a prohibition?

All o' candidates, both Blease
Ites and Antls are righting Manning,
aal as they can find nothing to say
against him aa a man and cltisen, they
endea.-or to create prejudice against,
him by harping on the fact that he
hi a successful business man and
banker. This Is truly a serious charge,
In view of the fact that he Is a suc?
cessful farmer and was elected pres?
ident of a bank because he had made
a success as a farmer. If it is a po?
litical crime to make money as a
farmer and to establish a reputation
aa a successful business man, Mr.
Manning Is guilty, bi t why the voters
should be prejudiced against him on
thi* account Is Inexplicable.

The law-abiding people of the Stati?
desire a law respecting and law en?
forcing governor. The first name
.that a majority of the voters think of
In this connection Is Manning. But
for local pride and local affiliations, to
which the other candidates appeal
aad on which they count. Manning
would receive an overwhelming ma?
jority of the antl-Blease vote In all
the counties, and even under existing
conditions he will receive a better
average vote In all sections of the
State than any other candidate.

I The war news Is so conflicting and
confusing that It la Impossible to form
a satisfactory conception of what is
actually taking place in Kurope. Ger?
many claims to have won continued
successes In the campaign In Bel
glum and to have sustained com?
paratively Insignificant losses; that
the Q?rman campaign Is working out
aa planned and that the Invincible
Oertnsn army will sweep everything
before It when the appointed time
for a general forward movement ar?
rives. On the other hand reports
from French and Belgian sources as?
sert that the German invasiuai of Bel?
gium hus been checked and tremen?
dous loss Inflicted and ?hat the
French invasion of German territory
has been a succession of minor vie
torles. the German forces abandoning
their fortified posts und retreating be
fore the French advance. The only
reasonable deduction that can be
made from the mase of confusing re?
ports Is that both sides are manoeu
verlna for position and that no bat
tie of Importance has yet been fought
In respect to the operation on tho
Russian frontier the outside world Is
completely In the dark, the reports l
thus far having been fragmentary and
of doubtful authenticity.
e e o
The official announcement from
Washington that there Is no reason
for the material advance In prices of
foodstuffs and that the b|g advances
that have been made are the result
of the grasping greed of provision
dealers who are trying to take ad?
vantage of the war situation to multi?
ply their profits. Is In line with our
previously formed opinion. Instead
of the prices of grain products and
meats advancing rapidly on account
of the war In Kurope. the prices
should decline until there Is some
safe and certain avenue of export to
Kurope guaranteed. There may he a
war lime demand f..r wheat, flour,
corn, oats and mekta In the warring
countries. but unless neutral ships
are provided and trie safety of ocean
navigation assured, these comm..tilt P-h
will remain a drug on the American
markets, for there Is a tremendous
surplus crop of wh?at for export Ulli
jrsar. If ths markets of Kurope are
dote J, or even purtiully closed, the
surplus will be left on the hands of
the producers or dealers, and in this
case the law of supply and demand
would indicate lower prices in Ameri?
ca, regardless of the fact that scarcity
and high prices might prevail in
Europe.
COMPULSORY EDUCATION QUES?
TION.
Wlmt It Ha? Done for Maine and
California.
Greenwood, Aug. 11.?The world
came to realise that the bodies of men
should not be held in slavery and
where the Individual failed to free his
slaves, governments did it. This
world has also realized that the
minds of men must not remain in the
sla\er> of Illiteracy, and so far as.
this freedom can be given by attend-)
ancc ut schools, the enlightened na?
tions and nearly all the States of this
union are removing the shackles that
bind the citizen to a life In which he
cannot figure up his earnings, read of
the deeds of his fellowmen and the
work of his God.
From Maine to California, officials
In each State write that compulsory
education laws are advancing the
cause of eduaotion and meeting with
the approval of the people?often the
very people who fought such laws.
Hon. Payson Smith. Supt. Public
Schools of the State of Maine, In a
letter or May 28th says: "I am posi?
tive that the progress of education in
Maine has been favored by the exist?
ence of a compulsory education law."
And what about California?
The State Superintendent replying
In a letter of June 18th says in part:
"Yes, the schools have made much
greater progress under the compul?
sory attedance law than they did be?
fore. In this State the theory is that
we must educate every child. Then
there is one way to do this and that j
is to see that every child attends
school. He may attend a private
school or he may get his education at
home through private tutors. But he
must get it. And we go further. We i
give out the money on the attendance.
The district that ke*?ps up a good at-,
tendanqe gets more money than it ,
would if the attendance was low. This ]
means that teachers and school offt- |
cers and even the paren'.s and chil?
dren do all they can to see that the
children attend school."
LETTER CARRIERS' MEETING.
South Carolina Congressman Tells
Them of Importance of Their Aid
in Progress of Good Roads. I ]
Washington. Aug. 12.?Talks on
i
good roads featured the session today \
of the National Rural Letter Car* '
rlers' Association, meeting in annual ]
convention in the auditorium of the <
New National museum here. j (
Congressmen Finley of Sotuh Car- j
ollna and Hamlin and Shackelford of ,
Missouri each delivered un address, 1
snd P. J. Powell read a paper on ,
"Good Roads and Road Construction." ,
This was followed by a general dis?
cussion.
Mr. Finley told the delegates of the
growth of rural free delivery in the ,
t'nlted States and its importance. He
also told them of the part tb?. y were
to play in parcel post growth.
Congressman Shackelford talked of
his good roads bill providing $25.000.-!,
000 for the construction of post roads. ,
News From Baker School. I <
Buker School, August 11.?We arSp
having refreshing i bowers after a
long, dry spell.
l.ale corn is nearly a failure.
Cotton is cut off considerable.
We had Mr. P. G. Bowmun to give
us a tulk Sunday afternoon.
Mr H. W. Beall is having his oats
threehed out today and has
made a tine crop of them.
I hope to see the day when farmers
will make more forage crops than
they do at the present 1 time, and
commence raising their own mules.
I would like to sec every farmer raise
it least one mule colt and see how j
cheap It can be raised, and then 11
think the livery stables would not j
have so many to credit out in the]
Spring. Not that I wish the stable-j
men any harm. It is becoming so!
that a man can't farm and buy mules. J
I Just a lltt'.e while longer we will
I have the boll weevil here and we
can't make cotton to buy mules with.
After the election is over how will
'hose candidates feel that gets de?
feated In the campaign, "The Mud
Sllngers" ? How will they look
meeting on the street and begging
pardons of each ?Uber, and they will
huve to do that, for insulting each
othsr. If the candidates of the State
Would go by the Golden Uule: "Do
unto others, as you would have them
do unto you," and if they have
brotherly love one for another they
would shake hands at the last cam?
paign meeting and the successful ones
would feel sorry their opponents did
not have as good an office as they
have.
I wish the good people of the State
would lirt their heurts to Qod and
prav for Christ's sake that political
affairs become better.
'WASHINGTON GOVERNMENTS
PLANS ADVANCE PAST.
American Representatives Authorized
to Hire Vessel* to Bring Tourists
Back to America.
Washington, Aug. It,?The Wash?
ington government's relief measures
for Americans in Europe and plans of
the Red Cross to send an expedition
to the war zone proceeded rapidly
today. American embassies and le?
gations throughout Europe were au?
thorized to charter ships in which to
bring home American citizens. Plans
to send steamers from the United
States were abandoned because It was
believed It would be better to char?
ter neutral vessels at European ports.
information received at the state
department gave the assurances that
the British order against the entry of
aliens into England was not meant
to apply to Americans on the conti?
nent who are trying to return to the
United States by way of England.
Difficulties over the transmission of
code messages between Berlin and
Washington were removed when an
understanding was reached with the
British foreign office that the censor
should not impede messages between
the American state department and
the Berlin foreign office or Ambasa
dor Gerard, relating to the Interests
of Germans in Prance or England.
However, it was said, such messages
were being blocked at Copenhagen,
making it necessary to repeat thern
by way of Rome.
Red Cross officials announced there
had been a countrywide response to
the appeal for funds to finance the
relief expenditures.
Secretary Garrison tonight said he
had decided it would be necessary to
charter two or three ships on this
side to make trips to certain Euro?
pean ports for American refugees.
Some American diplomatic repre?
sentatives abroad, he has learned,
will be unable to employ vesels be?
cause none are available.
An effort was made by Mr. Gar?
rison to have n meeting of the gen?
eral relief board tonight to consider
his plan, but he was unable to bring
the other members together.
