Of Polloo Sumter Warns the Public A?toot CssrslessiMMs and Disregard of Traflo Laws, Editor Daily Item: I have during my official life ob? served that most errors are made and friction results, from the want of a prjfcssJlSsowledf e of the law and Its Laws, (ordinances) are after all only communal rules to regulate the con? duct of the Individual towards the other members of the community in which he Uvea These rules being en? acted for his guidance by the com? munity through their representatives for tho benefit of the greater number, and not as arbitrary acta to curtail the rights and freedom of action on the port of the few who might be slightly Inconvenienced by being ob? liged to observe them, should be viewed by us as the expression of the will and desire of the majority of our neighbors. Theas rules should be properly observed by us all. regard? less of every other consideration, save that of a due respect for the rights, convenience, and safety of otters and not because Aero might ho s police? man near enough to see and srrest us for violating an ordinance, I am wetting this to caution each one of our eitisens that it Is primar? ily up to them to assist in guarding tho safety of th* otfftsrs, and to carry but the laws* Owing to the continued ] increase In tho number of motor ve? hicles, tho torn tm ^condition sf our streets and the consequent congestion of traffic Into a few of the main thoi*o*ghfare* the need of treated | ears Is at this Ums mors necessary than over before. The strict observ? ance of a few easily remember sd rules governing traffic, will remove much of tha danger and If persevered in liy only a majority, will render the iheaoss of accidents almost negli? gible. 1.

Do not ever exceed th? speed limit. 1 Do not allow children under fifteen yesra of ago to drive motor cam 10. Do not use out out on mufflers. This Is absolutely unnecessary, an? noying to every one, and a violation of the ordinance. > 1. Keep to the tight side of the street 2. Indicate with hand which way you propose to turn. S. Do not try to turn screes the course of vehicles. 4. Do not expect the drivers of vehicles to do all the looklng-out for your safety. Forbid your children to play ball or other games in the streets. During the year 1116, In eight of tho largest snd best policed cities of the United States, the number of deaths resulting from street accidents were throe times a? many as those from murder. Is it not the duty of each one of us to do our part to prevent such a state of affairs in Sumter, where we have only 3 policemen on each shift to look out for law breakers and the safety of the public, over the whole city. A little care, a few moments loot, will be all that It will cost us and we will be spared many vain re? gret* J. R. SUMTER, Chief of Police. Manning Good Enough. Manning baa made South Carolina a good governor. There has been no bluster; no braggadocio; no effort to be sensational; no attempt to be con? tinually In the limelight; no use of language that grates upon the sensi? bility of persons who abhor the bully snd braggart; no abuse of political opponents. In fact we know of but one or two things Mr. Manning has < done that should not meet with the approval of the people of the State. In one case he displayed extreme partisanship of which we have little doubt he quickly repented (because It Is not like him to be that way) and In one other case we would have pre? ferred that he had not attempted to play the dictator. But even then he has been so much more conservative than what the State has been accus? tomed to we feel that we can forgive what few shortcomings he has dis? played. If other governors before him have merited a second term surely Mr. Manning has. To our way of thinking he has made as good gov? ernor as the State has had within our recollection.?Onffney Ledger. BLEASE DELEGATES MEET. 4 Caucus Decides on Nominations for Convention. Columbia, May 16.?The Blease delegates to the State convention to the number of about eighty held a caucus in the Richland county court house tonight and agreed on the fol? lowing nominations to be made by them in the Democratic State conven? tion tomorrow: For delegates at large to the National Democratic convention at St. Louis: Governor Richard I. Manning, whose na ne wns proposed by Cole L. Blease, T. C. Duncan, of Union; C. C. Sims, of Barn well; John Q. Richards, Df Lib? erty Hill. For chairman of the State Democratic executive committee, W. A. Stuckey, of Blshopville. For tem? porary and permanent president of the convention, A. J. A. Perrltt, of Lamar. For national executive com mitteeman, Lowndes J. Browning, of Union. For secretary of the conven? tion, John K. Aull, of Newberry. The following resolution was adopted: "Resolved, That the State Demo? cratic executive committee be request? ed to put In the primary for nomina? tion the office of State warehouse com? missioner, and that the pledge to the Democratic party be so amended that candidates for the house and sen? ate pledge themselves to support for warehouse commissioner the man re? ceiving f,he Democratic nomination in the primary." The resolution was favored by Ex-, lQov. Blease, It was said, who nald he' would vote for John L. McLaurin. The resolution will be presented to the ronveutlon by Fred H. Dominick, for the Newberry delegation and the ? Blease caucus. Dr. Olln Sawyer, of Georgetown, presided over the Blease caucus tDnlght. j ; The action of the Blease caucus, to which the newspaper men were not in? cited; means that Senator Till ma n will have opposition as national exe? cutive committeeman and State Chair-' man John Gary Evans will also have opposition. The name of N. E. Dial, of* Laurena will likely also be pro? posed for State chairman ,tt. was learned here late tonight. Friends of i senator Tillman and State Chairman Evans are satisfied they will toe re elected easily. At another caucus here tonluht it Was; agreed to place W. P. Pollock, of Cfteraw, in nomination for temporary Pr?sident of, the convention, imd T. P. Cot bran ,of Greenville, for perma? nent president Friends of CJov. Mnnnins; and friendn of Solicitor Cooper were said tonight to be caufussing. but no an? nouncements were made. An inform? al poll of the convention shows that the a nil-Blease men have an over? whelming majority. It was claimed here tonight that there are between eighty and one hundred Cooper dele? gates which, with> the Blease dele? gates, leaves the followers of Gov. Manning in a minority. However, the friends of the governor claimed that he will control the convention without any trouble. PROPOSE FERRY OVER SAJTTEE. Elloreo Citizens Working to Hove Pressing Need Fulfilled. Elloree, May 12.?For a long: time there has been talk of the great ad? vantage, and the real neceststy, of a ferry , (or better still, a bridge), across the Santee river opposite El? leree for the convenience of aitomo bilists and vehicles of all sorts trav? eling from one aide of the lower part of the State to the other, but no tangible steps have been taken. The evidence of this great need hau been becoming more and more a glaring fact until It is inconceivable how this improvement In highway devel? opment can long more be neglected. Efforts are being launched by the folks of Elloree in this direction and once this move started in reality, there Is no reason why the road will not become a reality. Elloree is al? most on a direct line running from Sumter to Orangeburg court hour.o and Orangeburg is on a direct line and good roads to Augusta some eighty miles further, and as It is now there is no way to get from either Bates Ferry above Ft. Motte, or up and through Columbia, which makes the distance quite a consideration to those who wish to reach any point by auto In the lower part of South Caro? lina. It Is suggested that a road bo built Into the river from the Orangeburg and Clarendon sides at an early date and then to uso a ferry to cross tho river. This can be done with com? paratively small cost, and after the route Is fully established then the bridge proposition can be taken up and built without much trouble. The business organization of Orangeburg should take an active hand in this movement as It will mean a great deal for that growing city.

Dash to Rescue American Prisoners Proved Successful. Langhorne's Headquarters, Cerro Blanco, Mexico, May 18.?Langhorne's ride equals Dodd's ride. His force left Bouquilloas on Friday night and the first stop was at Manuel Sanchez' ranch where a Mexican brought a note wishing to exchange Deemer and Payne for prisoners Langhorne held. Langhorne planned a sudden dash on? ward of 17 miles during the day and night, and surrounded the Elpinera ranch house, where he found the Americans. The bandits had fled. , NOTICE.
