In an interview with a representative of the Anderson Daily Mail Governor Manning made the following statement: "There is an atmosphere of optimism and contentment throughout all South Carolina today that is highly gratifying," said Governor Manning in conversation with a representative of The Daily Mail this morning. The governor spent last night at the Chi<|UoIa hotel in Anderson and returned to Columbia on the morning train. He was returning from Pendleton, where he spoke yesterday at the centennial meeting of the Pendleton Farmers' Society. "I spent a very pleasant day at Pendleton and was pleased to note the great interest manifested by the people, not only of the Piedmont, but by the State at large, in this society and its meetings. I recall that it was at a meeting of this society that Clemson college was first thought about and now this Pendleton Farmers' society has grown to be one of the greatest institution for good in our State. Organizations of this kind, when the proper interest is manifested will be of great benefit to the State at large as well as the individual members of the organization," said the governor. "Our people arc now riding on a wave of prosperity ?u;,. ^.. :.. 1 .. 1 A ?nu inir? piui>);ci uy ir> miiiiuiii auuui very largely by the high price of cotton. We must not allow ourselves to run wild, however, and plant the whole earth in cotton next year. The present prices are, in my opinion, brought about by reason of the small crop this year and if we continue tihold down our cotton acreage and raise our home supplies we will then be in position to live in peace and contentment without regard for the outside world and their wars." "I am especially gratified to note the growing feeling of brotherly love and personal interest in each other's welfare among the people of South Carolina. Men of every business, trade and profession are getting in closer touch with each other and working together for the upbuilding of our State. The use of the word "class" is gradually dying away and the expression, 'South Carolinians' is being substituted therefor. We have a great many problems before us, ami in order ts solve them successfully it is of greatest importance that we put our shoulders to the wheel and unite our efforts as South Carolinians for the upbuilding of the State we love so well.' What about the enforcement of law in Charleston was asked the governor. "Well, I am continuing the work of the special constables there and expect to continue to use every means at my command to enforce all laws in all South Carolina at all times," said the governor, "and I am convinced that | FirsftG O imbia r ;day, Oct. 21, and Ending Monday Pair of Trousers oi and a 10% Discoui Ordprpit Tlur elude every style and quality c onage, and those of you who is guaranteed to be tailor mat de garment, no matter at whj nd made, and we guarantee yoi !

A report received in my office from the dispen- ( sary hoard in Charleston shows that to work under Sheriff Martin have the special constables appointed by me seized and turned over to the dispensary board over $7,300 worth of whiskey, beer and other intoxicants within the past four and half months. The city police during the same period turned over about $800 worth. During the same period in 1914 when the special constables were not working, the police seized and turned over to " the dispensary about $700 worth. The recent convictions in the circuit court speak for thefmselvcs. Yes, I am sure that there is today a greater respect for law and order in South Carolina and the general public is supporting our peace officers in the performance of their duty." "I always enjoy my visits to the various parts of the State. It gives me the opportunity to meet the people face to face and discuss with them their problems and needs. I find that the best information I can get for my guidance as the servant of the people is secured by close personal touch with the people themselves. My office is al- ,p ways open to the people of South Carolina and it is my desire for the people to call and discuss with me any matter looking to the upbuilding of ? the State at all times." Calomel Dynamites h A Sluggish Liver j Crashes Into Sour Bile, Making You Sick and You Lose a Day's Work. Calomel salivates! It's mercury. Calomel acts like dynamite on a slug- I gish liver. When calomel comes into contact with sour bile it crashes into / it, causing cramp' g and nausea. If you feel bilious, headachy, con- / stipated and all knocked out, just go to your druggist and get a 50 cent ^ bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which is a harmless vegetable substitute for dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful and if it doesn't start your liver and j straightdn you up better and quicker than nasty calomel and without mak- j ing you sick, you just go back and get your money. I If you take calomel today you'll be sick and nauseated tomorrow; be- v sides, it may salivate you, while if you take Dodson's Liver Tone you will wake up feeling great, full of * ambition and ready for work or play. It's harmless, pleasant and safe to 1 give to children; they like it. ^ Don't be too keenly critical. The worm has a habit of turning when T you least expect it.

THE TAX COMMISSION. 1 The following editorial from The Uiheville Press and Banner is of genial interest: , In his speech in Greenville, on Sat- j irday last, Ex-Governor Cole L-. 1 Please paid his respect to the Tax , 'ommission of this State. Without ecalling just what he said, and the nanner in which he said it, we agree vith the substance of it. The Tax Commission has been a dead failure ;o far, and it is to be hoped that the iext legislature will have the pood ense to repeal the act. That there are proat inequalities 11 the assessment of proprety, and injust burdens carried by somtvhile others in a measure are escapnp their share of the taxes, every >ody knows. And we believe that svery thinkinp man in the State vould like to see the burdens of pov(rnment properly distributed, and : ivery man carryinp his share. Fo?* 1 hat reason a preat many of us wel omed the passape of the present aw, and looked for pood results. The men appointed are undoubtedy men of ability. But all of them 1 ire politicians, and it sees that hey are unable to forpet the fact. Governor Blease says that the act:- ( f the commission are unjust towards i he corporations. This is a fact vhich no man can deny. The cor- i locations already are bearinp their ihare of the taxes?some of them at east are, and especially the banks, ind vet the banks are the first tax- 1 layers to receive the attention of the. ' a\ Commission. The truth is that he real estate of the country is the iroperty which is not bearinp its just s import ion of the taxes, and the per- ( onal property of individuals is the uoperty which is bearing practically lone of the burdens. We do not advocate the raising of a)ues on these species of property md not on the corporations, but w^ j lo advocate the putting of all prop- j rty on the tax books on the same asis of assessment, and that no favrs be shown either the bank or the 1 ndividual. Any other system is wrong J n principle and will not be approved iy a fair-minded people. 1 We suggest that if the law is not epealed, that the next appointees be nen not connected with politics, i 'here is no place on the tax commis- . ion for politics. ] ures Bid Sorts, Other Remedies Won't Cure. he wornt caitea, no matter of how lonr standing, re cured by the wonderful, old reliable I)r. orter'a Antiseptic Healing Oil.

A. Stuckey, of Bishopville, today. "There is a senti- "o ment amonp the people for a direct representative oi tne farmer in the nc>( race for governor. I am, however, doing nothing to promote that sentiment." Mr. Stuckey, State senator from Lee county, is a farmer.
