MANNING'S BWEKP1XCJ MAJORITY.
significant Points That are Disclosed

turns.
There are several significant things
in tho vote cast yesterday for gover?
nor.
First of all, of course, Is the tre?
mendous majority that Mr. Manning
piled up against his opponent.
Such a majority in a race for gov?
ernor has probably never been equal?
ed in Sou'h Carolina.
There are a number of ether signitl
cant and gratifying storied told by the
votes.
Mr. Manning carrle i his home coun-j

SELECTION or HEED COHX,
richi Selection of Corn One of Most
Proiltehle Operations on l'arm.
Clemson College, Sept. '.?.?Select
Ins seed corn is one of the most
profitable operations on ihe farm. In
proportion to time and expense in-^
volved. This is the opinion of the
agronomy division of Clemson College, !
Which urges South Carolina farmers
not to forget to make field selections
of the ears that will be used as the
source of seed for next year's corn
Crop, Good seed is one of the most
important factors in the production
of a good corn crop and corn is per?
haps more easily improved by the av?
erage farmer than almost any other
crop.
Prof. W. L, Hutchinson. of the
agronomy division of Clemson Col?
lege, advises that the held selection
of seed 00171 take place just before
the corn If gathered and that about
fifty ears be selected for every acre
that Is to be planted the next sason.
For, though it requires only 16 to 20
ears of corn to plant an acre, the
corn selected in the held must go
through another test if the farmer
wishes to get really marked improve?
ment In yield and quality, and he will
need a good number to c hoose from, j
The seed corn discarded after thei
winter germination test will still be1
better than average seed and can
often be sold to advantage, or used
as fodder corn seed.
One practice that interferes seri?
ously with com Improvement in
this state, according to Professor
Hutchinson, Ii fodder pulling. By
pulling fodder before corn is mature,
one injures the quality of the corn
by checking the full development of
the ear. If a man insists on pulling
fodder, yet desires to selec t his seed
corn in the field, he should go through
the field before fodder pulling and
mark the stalks from which he in?
tends to take the seed ears, These
stalks are to be untouched when the
fodder is pulled from the field.
Every man must make up his mind
as to the kind of corn he desires to I
select and his selection should be OS
uniform as possible, In the South
there is a strong leaning toward pro?
lific types of corn, but experiments
have demonstrated that nothing Is to
be gained by selecting for corn that
bears more than two ears to the
stalk.
A point to look for is height of ears
from the ground. Select ears that
are rather low on the stalk, as high .
ears make the stalks top heavy. A
long shank is another undesirable
point that should be avoided when
selecting.
The type of stalk from which the
ears come is important. Select from
stalks that are vigorous, that stand
up straight, and that are strong at
the bottom and tapering toward the
top. P.e sure to select from those
stalks that have had an average
chance. If a stalk has become strong?
er by having more room than an i
average stalk has. it will not profit
to select from this, since favorable
opportunities cannot be inherited
and corn from SUCh a stalk may be
of poor quality when grown under
average conditions.
INCREASE INCOME TAX.
one-bait o? One Per Cent, liaise.
Washington, Sept. I.?An income
tax Increase of one-half of i per cent,
and a reduction of the minimum ex?
emption from $3,000 to $2,000 and
the maximum exemption from $4,000
to I3,000 were agreed on tentatively
today by Democratic members of the
ways and means committee, who are
framing the emergency revenue bill
to raise $100,000,000, it is estimated
that the proposed changes would pro?
duce $30,000,000 annually.
In deciding on Income tax increases,
the committee considered the fact
that revenue from iliTs source would
not be available until next July, but
the opinion was general that in?
creased revenue from other sources
would meet any immediate deficit.
Under Ihe proposed changes the
Income tax would be 1 1-- per cent,
on incomes of single persons in ex?
cess Of $2.000 and the same on mar?
ried persons in exet BS of $3,000, In
addition, the 1-2 per cent. Increase
would be added pro rata in accord?
ance with the war taxes on incomes in
oxeess of $20,000,
The committee is said to have
igreed tentatively on a ta >n railroad
tickets. Such n lax would be collected
by the railroads and easily adminis?
tered, The rate proposed, n was re?

Washington, Sept. 9.?State action
In aid of the cotton growers was today
propoaed by Senator Simmons, of
North Carolina. His programme con?
templates the purchase by each cotton
State of one-fourth of the cotton pro?
duced by it during 11)14 at 10 cents
a pound, eight < ents a pound to he ad-1
vanced at time of purchaae in non-j
interest hearing bonds of the State,
said bonds to be redeemable on or
before January 1, 101'., in cash or 41
per cent bonds at the opiion of the
State. If the price of middling cot-1
ton remains below la cents when the1
State shall have purchased one-fourth
of its crop, the Simmons plan requires
that the State shall continue to buy
until it has obtained S? per cent of
the 1914 crop unless the price does
not. sooner reach 10 cents. None ofj
the cotton bought by the State is to
be sold before November l, ii*ir>, for
less than 10 cents, nor before June 1,
1916, for less than 11 cents. As soon'
fls the cotton is sohl the State is t.c? i
pay the growers from whom it was
purchased the excess above 8 cents
for which the State sold it.
Senator Simmons at the same time
proposes that the State impose a pur-1
chase tax of 50 cents a bale on all
lint cotton sob within the State, the
proceeds Of this tax to be used to i
safeguard the State against any loss
sustained in the purchase and holding
of cotton by the State. The State also1
to Impose a tax of i cent a pound on
all lint cotton grown within its bor?
ders during 1916, provided said tax!
shall be remitted If cotton acreage in'
the States does not exceed 60 per cent
of the acreage in 1914, and to be re?
mitted to any individual grower whose
acreage is not more than 00 per cent
of his acreage this year.
The whole Simmons scheme is con?
ditioned on its adoption by States pro?
ducing at least two-thirds of the cot?
ton raised in this country in 1914. The
senator believes that the adoption of
Iiis plan would force the price of the
staple in open market to 10 cents and
that the manufacturers Will be able to
make a line profit at that figure. Pres?
ident Barrett, of the Farmers' Union
and committee representing that or?
ganisation will be here tomorrow and
will urge upon congress and the pres?
ident the union's proposition that the
government shall Itself purchase o,
000,000 bales of the presnt cotton |
crop. The support behind this idea
Is Stronger than Is generally supposed
and Is increasing.
ATLANTA PLAN SPREADS.
Suggested That Cotton l>o Placed III
Warehouse, Insured and Certificate
be Used in Securing Money to Buy
More Cotton.
Atlanta, Sept. 1?.?The "Buy a Bale
of Cotton" movement, started In At?
lanta a few days ago, seems to be
spreading id<e wild-fire through Geor?
gia and into the Other cotton States.
It has been suggested that If the cot?
ton so purchased is stored in cotton
warehouses, insured and warehouse
receipt taken, Instead of each indi?
vidual storing his bale In the base?
ment of his home or the hack yard,
the receipt will be negotiable security
of high-class on which money may be
borrowed to buy more cotton or for
other purposes, and that the purch?
asers may borrow on such receipts In
the eaggregate an almost unlimited
amount from business friends In the
north ami west, thus avoiding the
drain of tnnds from local banks.
Information from the most reliable
sources, collected by the Georgia
Chamber of Commerce, shows that
the Cotton warehouse facilities al?
ready existing In Georgia are sufficient
t<i store almost one million bales of
cotton, or about forty per cent of the
crop of the State. It the cotton crop
of 1915 is greatly reduced, as it
probably will be, and the production
of foodstuffs and feedstuffs vastly In?
creased, ns they must be, much of the
cotton warehouse space will be used
for the storing of non-perishable food
and feed crops and the handling of
perishable crops. Tue Georgia Cham?
ber of Commerce is bringing to the
attention of the owners of cotton
warehouses the fact that cold-storage
faellLlles annexed to Ihcse warehouses
will prove of great value in next and
succeeding years both in providing for
the preservation of perishable crops
and by enabling them to use cotton
warehouse spare for the handling,
grading and pnckiim of perishable
i t ops.

Columbia, Sept. ?Governor-elect
Richard I. .Manning spent the day In
Columbia returning to his home at
Bumter this afternoon. The next gov?
ernor was the recipient of many con?
gratulation! and was kept busy re?
sponding to the hearty greetings of
his many admirers and supporters in
Columbia. Mr. Manning lunched
with Representative Dick, of Bumter,
and Christie Benet, of this city. He
gave out a formal statement, In which
he expressed his appreciation to the
people of South Carolina. Mr. Man?
ning thanked the people and tin
press for their work and promised to
be governor of all the people. His
formal statement follows:
"I wish to express my thanks to
the whole people of South Carolina.
The tremendous vote I received means
but one thing?that the principles 1
advocate, law and order, peace and
harmony, struck a responsive chord
in the hearts of our people.
"1 cannot single out an> set of men
to whom the result of this election is
due, since so many men In SO many
places worked so steadfastly and so
earnestly for our cause. To the
farmers, the merchants. the me?
chanics, the textile workers, the
traveling and professional men, and
to all others who contributed to the
wonderful result my profound thanks
are due and arc hereby given. It will
be physically impossible for me to ex?
press my heartfelt appreciation to the
loyal friends who worked with and
for me except In this statement to
the public.
"I would be wide of the mark if
I did not express my earnest appre?
ciation of the splendid work done by
the newspapers of the State. The
press as a whole was untiring in its
effort to show the people only the
true issues and to present public mat?
ters in a true light.
"It would be ingratitude on my part,
however, not to mention especially the
loyal support given me by my home
people. In Bumter, and by the mem?
bers of the Young Men's Manning
Club, of Bumter, whose loyalty and
devotion were a source of strength
and inspiration to me throughout the
long campaign.
"1 consider the result of the cam?
paign of 1914 a triumph for all the
agencies which work for the moral
uplift of our people, and not as a
personal victory.
"In conclusion, I wish to say, as 1
have said many times before, that as
governor of South Carolina I will be
governor of all the people; that 1
Will not recognise any faction, but
that I will serve the whole people to
the utmost of my strength and capac?
ity, with heart and head devoted
only to their welfare."

Wilson's disapproval today of the pro?

moans of raising revenue to offset a
treasury deficit due to the European
Aar sot Democratic members of the
nays and means committee to revising
their plans. They will renew tomor
row l he effort to draft a war revenue
hill. The president made his attitude
known at a conference with Demo?
cratic leaders in congress.
Preliminary steps also were taken
by Democraic senators today to read?
just the pending $53,000,000 rivers
and harbors appropriation lull, against
which Republican senators have eon
ducted a filibuster on the ground that
it is framed on extravagant lines and
that the $100.000,00?? war revenue bill
would not be necessary if the new
project-- proposed in the bill were
abandoned.
Democratic members of the ways
and means committee conferred in
formaly today. They were not dis?
appointed by the president's disap?
proval of their decision to increase the
income tax 1*2 of one per cent, and
to decrease the exemption. The presi?
dent's principal objection was said to
be that such a tax was not imnie
dlr-tely available and, therefore, un?
desirable.
Chairman Underwood, who discuss?
ed the subject with the president, was
inclined to agree with this view and
it is improbable that an. income tax
amendment will be prepared.
Cigarettes probably will be added to
the list of taxable commodities al?
ready agreed to, such as beer, wines
and rectified spirits A plan also is
under consideration to make a tax
on beer $1 a barrel which would
yield $65,000,000. That amount, to?
gether with $10,000,000 from wines,
$2,000,000 from rectified spirits, prob?
ably $5,000.000 from cigarettes, paid
taxes on railroad freight, gasoline, au?
tomobiles, some proprietary articles
ami soft drinks, it is estimated, would
yield all the revenue necessary, par?
ticularly if it is determined not to
appropriate all of the $53,000,000 pro?
posed for river and harbor work.
Representative ogicsby of New
York in a letter to the committee,
suggested a tax of 50 cents a horse?
power on automobiles not engaged in
commerce, and a tax on golf balls, lie
estimated that $25,000,000 could be
realised from the automobile tax.
Oflieial estimates, however, are for
$15,000,000 on motor ears.
The proposal to put a general tax
on railroad freight is the main ques?
tion now before the committee.
