Blasse, attacking Klchnrd I. Manning end boosting John Q. Klrhards. It begins: "The second race for governor, as you see. Is between Richards and Man? ning. The election of Manning means the overthrow of the rights of the la? boring people of this State. Man? ning's grandfather was governor, and bis father was governor, and he comes tlrectly from the aristocracy." If this were true It would he noth? ing to the discredit to Mr. Manning. It Is no disgrace to be descended from honorable men who served the State in peace and in war in positions of hono.? and large responsibility; but In the case of Mr. Manning It hap? pens that *iis father never was gov? ernor, and Cole I. Please Is too smart and too well posted not to have known that the statement was a He when he wrote It. When a defeated, discredit? ed and disgruntled politician resorts to so puerile an expedient as cir? culating easily proven falsehoods in the hope of arousing prejudice and class feeling It Is proof positive that he Is down and out and desperate. It may be a high crime and mis? demeanor In Hlease's opinion, to have had a governor for a father and an? other sovernor for a grandfather, but he la hard put to It foi campaign material when he manufactures an? cestors for Mr. Manning out of uncles and other more distant relatives. As HI ease Invents ancestors for Mr. Man aha so does he manufacture other charges that he hopes wfll create prejudice against him In the minds of honest men who are easily de relved. The safest policy is to believe nothing that Please says against Man? ning Discredit every report circulat? ed derocatbry to Manning, and If In doubt ask any reputable citizen of .'umter rounty for the truth. Views Prom tireenvlllc. Oreenvllle, Aug. SI.?Crops are not as good up here as they are In Sum ter. Cotton is young and small, corn looks the uge of July corn with us. Fine peaches, but apples are poor. Fine cows are to be sen In the pas? tures snd I guess milk and butter are plentiful. All along the line from here to Columbia shows that the high state of cultivation with us has not reached this far, as the crops look scrubby. Greenville Is feeling the financial pre'sure like other pluces, and busi? ness Is not brisk. The people are very nice and friendly, Just like all well bred and educated people nr?, The women look no better than those with us. I notice their skirts are wider than In other places and much to their advan? tage. They are a church going peo? ple here and the churches are full. At the First Huptlst church yesterday the services were verv Interesting and | Impressive. Prof. Fletcher of Furman I Fnlverslty preached a line and earnest sermon. He spoke a good deal about the Ruropean war. the terrible slaugh? ter nnd the suffering It will bring on the world. He said the great business world was based and run on faith In mankind. Prof. Fletcher blames f mperor William *<?r much of the ear. He is an ermst speaker, but not ss el?M|uent and inpresslve as Dr. Walling of Ashevllle Is. Politics are quiet. This Is a Cooper city snd much regret Is expressed that he did not get in the second rare. Manning Is spoken of very kindly, also lllchard*. I tlnd people are getting very tired of such politics that we are having. As I continue my Journey, If I Rnd anything of Interest to write, will tell you when I get home. J. B, DuPrc.

Shaw \ M? Collum Co.?-? tVhrt URGES WINTER GARDEN Curhery Says Seasonable Work May Reduce Materially Cost of Family Table. James L. Curbery of Rock Hill, agent for the mill village work, has written a letter to all local demonstra? tors in mill villages in South Curo ina, urging upon them to push the winter garden campaign, as "from the present outlook the high cost of living will continue to Increase." In order to overcome this condition partially, he outlines plans for making r winter garden successful. "Where possible." he writes, "se? lect a well drained an 1 sheltered lo? cal.on slopin?; to the ;outh or east. Thorough preparation of a good seed bed can not be too strongly empha? sized. Uso well rotted stable manure which permanently builds up the soil. In the absence of stable manure, use a high grade fertilizer." Mr. Carbery also gives a list of the i most popular winter vegetables that|< can be grown successfully in this \ 1 State. He names celery, parsnips, j I salisfy, collards, cabbage, lettuce, ll beets, radishes, spinach, kale, mus- 1 ratal, parsley, turnips, onions and car? rots. "Any Information," ho writes, "will be furnished on request. This ap? plies particularly to the intensive form of winter gardening." i i \ 1 NEW AUTO COXCERX. [l - < Sumter Motor Company Will Handle t ??Car of Mystery" An announcement of interest is the ( opening of a new auto sales and sup- I ply house in Sumter at 11G S. Main 1 street to be known as the Sumter Mo- t tor Company. J Hugh McCollum will manage the new company. M The Sumter Motor Company, while ] handling auto supplies In general |( will specialise in supplying this ter-j ritory with the new car to be put on i the market by the Dodge Bros. Com-; pany of Detroit, who for years have' * manufactured the vital parts for thousands of the best make cars, and now will produce a car of their own This car has been styled by some as "the car of mystery," owing to the fact that even the dealers do not yet know its exact design or any of the specifications. It is only known that It will be first of all a car that Is fit? ting to represent the branching out of tho Dodge Hros from mere manu? facturing of auto parts to the produc? ing of a car that bears their name, and that it will be a real innovation in cheapness coupled with style and durability. All over the country, auto dealers have been scrambling, so to speak, to secure the agency for these cars, and the Sumter Motor Com? pany consider themselves fortunate in having been selected to represent the Dodge Hros Company here. Their ad will be found on another page. The Tennis Tourney. In the tennis tourney Moses defeat? ed Brown on Wednesday afternoon In two sets, winning 0-1; 0-2, this be? ing the last game in the second round.

Bruneon will act as principal, assisted by Misses Lucy I'ugh and Mamie Bush, Miss Pugh having taught here last session. It is expected that there will he an unusu? ally large enrollment and with the excellent corj s of teachers secured, the session will undoubtedly he a suc? cessful one from every standpoint. As everywhere else, the local cot? ton market is demoralized and none of the staple lias been sold. The planters are gathering the crop quite rapidly and all of the gins are run? ning merrily. Cotton seed is being sold right along although the price is low so far. The usual number of buy? ers are on the market. The mer? chants are undoubtedly feeling the lack of the cotton money and most of them have put in large stocks of fall und winter goods, but business has increased on Saturdays at least with the advent of the cotton picking mon There is little political talk here dnce the first primary and the sec? ond election will pass off quietly as jsual but a good vote will be polled here again.
