KELTON Kelton, S. C., Aug. 31.?Cro] are needing lain very >adly aroui Kcltoh. The great tattle was fought South Carolina last Tuesday, but n like the great armies in Belgium, was fought with ballots and not bu lets. We like our way of settling di fevences rather than Europe's. I wj so glad that we had little quarrelir and no fighting in Union county tl day of the election. There was sonv thing said and done that ought not have been said. I was told that son one in Union was declaring that nor but gamblers and drunkards voted f( Blease.

As fc the unfortunate lover of strong drinl O, I am sorry for him! hut 90 percer of them are big hearted men and th sober men ought to try to save thei from a drunkards grave instead c severely criticizing them. If I wa traveling through a strange co nmuii ity I would inquire for a man wh loved his dram or a fox hunter, for know if he had anything to eat would get some of it, but I would b shy of the place with two or thrc bull dogs?but there are exceptions t all rules. As to who will be elected Govei nor on September 8th, no one knows either of them will make a good on< so it is only a matter of choice bt tween men. Some one asked m where was the twenty odd thousan men enrolled that did not vote, could not answer but mavhp tho took the advice of Jennings and Po, A lock, who told the people that th record of Blease was too had, an Smith's too weak, and they believe to vote for them would be to throi votes away, so did not vote at all.

Clinkscales Saturday did the same ive thing. It is understood that Mr. in- .Clinkscales will devote much of his w- time to working in Spartanburg counve ty to give Mr. Manning a big majority in that territory. Mr. Manning ire himself will probably make a swing ol? inf A V. ? ? 1 1 me up-L-ouniry during the next on week and the chances are that he will id, visit Union county.

Hard and consistent work is being done throughout the 1 State for Mr. Manning. His qualifiin cations for the office, as a progressive ut business man and a farmer, are being ; 1S placed before the people.
