The Sumter Watch in sn was found? ed m lilt and the True 8ottthron In litt. The Watchman and Southron wow has the combined circulation and Ininenoe of both of ths old papers, and Is manifestly ths best advertising medium In Sumter. The second race for governor will be l?etween Itlchurd I. Manning and John O. Illchards. The nomination of Manning by a decisive majority will wipe out Blcasclsin and end partisan snd factional government In South Carol na for four yeurs at least. The great majority of the voters have de? clare*1, against the perpetuation of partisan government and in favor of a government for the henelit of all the people. Manning hit i given his word to administer the olllce of gov? ernor Impartially, to know neither friend* nor foes In the discharge of his official duties, to enforce the laws and to give the State an ettlcient, economical and progressive adminis? tration. This in what the people, by their votes for Manning. Cooper. Cllnkscalca, tf. L. Smith, C. A. Smith and Browning, have declared that they want Srd are determined to have. But the \ Ictory gj not yet won. Those who want good government, luw and order snd a strictly non partisan administra? tion have an important duty to dis? charge. They must leave no stone un? turned, they must spare no effort to poll every possible vote for Munnlng In the second primary and make the victory of the forces of law and order is decisive as possible. This is no time o let up In the work, but on the con rary we should all work harder than wer before for the complete re lemptlon of South Carollnu. 0 0 0 Prof. CTlnkscnles shows the right ?pint, lie accept* the verdict .of the primary with cheerful acquiescence to the will of the people and offers its services to carry on the good work 'or law and order. Messrs. Cooper. Sf. L.. C. A. Smith and Browning, are feel sure will fall in line with Prof. Cllnkacales and work to roll up a big majority for Manning 0 0 0 .The people of Sumter are proud and happy over the result of the pri? mary, for It has demonstrated that 11. i. Manning, 8umter's choice f>r governor, the "strongest man In the race and that he will he the next gov-j einor of South Carolina. The biggest bluff Cole Blease lias Over pulled off was the telegram he sent broadcast over the State Mon? day afternoon notifying the sheriffs that he had been Informed that mon? ey had been sent out for use in the election and ordering them to appoint a special deputy to watch each poll? ing i lace. Insofar as Sumter county Is concerned a falser charge was never Invented and nobody knows It better than Blease himself. see Cotton Is opening rapidly and a great deal will he ready for market within the next tw weeks.

Austria, likewise, has had to meet the Kas? sians and Servians with large armies unti har, not heen a Me to throw her hill strength to the support of the Herman Invasion of Krance. The French helng free to pit their entire military strength against the Ger? man and Austrian invasion should be aide to muster a force as great as the Germans can bring against them; and lighting on their own soil, with the advantage of the choice of po siion and ?f strong fortifications the onward sweep of the invading host of Germans Is surprising. If the allies can MM check the Germans on the fortilled frontier, they will eventual- j ly o\errun France and again dictate terms of peace in Paris, unless the Kassian invasion should threaten them from the rear and halt their triumphant progress in France. Why Not Have a Mutual Insurance Company? We hope the reports of mutual or coopv rative Insurance given in The Progressive Farmer two weeks ago have set lots of our farmers thinking. If you haven't a mutual tire insur-| i nee company In your county, you1 (light to make haste to organize one. j Just think of the farmers In your community and Imagine the trouble half of them would have In rebuild- | ing If lire should destroy their nomes. We ought to have mutual accident insurance also and livestock insur? ance. The writer only last week; i made a small contribution to a neigh? bor farmer whose two mules were re? cently struck by lightning and killed. Xow it is a good thing for neighbors to help a man in a ease like this, but it is uncertain and unbusiness-like, and the policy of asking for gifts Is j not one to be encouraged. In fact. J thousands and thousands of farmers had rather go into debt and work their way out rather than ask any man for a cent?and one cannot help but ad- i mire such independence.

An antt-Elcase man will be the next governor ol the Btate, in practicaly every Instance where a man ran as a lllease candidate he was defeated. South Cfolina has definitely and de? terminedly repudiated Bleaselsm. Senator Smith is renominated hy a large majority on the first ballot, the vote east for Messrs. Jennings and Pollock being practically negligible, it is probable that Smith will show a majority of twenty thousand votes. A large measure of this result is un? doubtedly due to the farmers' support of Senator Smith and would have ap? peared in any circumstances, but the outstandl tg fact is that Blease has been beaten with comparative ease. It is a complete and conclusive re? vulsion against the orgy of lawless? ness and evil to which South Caro? lina has been given for the past four years, and from which many had despaired of recovery. The body poll-1 tie, it has been show n, is sound at bot? tom and has within it recuperative forces that those who had debauched' it believed were not existent. Every; lover of his State must rejoice at the result, and the friends of Soutl. Caro-i Una abroad, who had almost lost faith in her, will take courage. There is heavy work ahead. Th standards that have been overthrown must be reestablished and the foun? dations of society, so deeply under? mined, must be restored, upon which we may build a strong and lasting structure and found prosperity and peace. The extent to which the cor? rupting effects of Bleaselsm have gone can hardly be realised, but a survey will show the havoc that has been wrought to the permanent Institu? tions of government and a great res? toration must be begun. Every com? munity In the State will feel tin- heart-' enlng Influence of the victory that has been achieved over evil Influences, und the reaction from lawlessness and license will bring a reign of reason under which South Carolina and all its constituent parts will come into food repute auain. it is a time for resolve, rather titan lor celebration, for the result will have been worth-' less of achievement if it is not taken us opportunity lor constructive work.
