ADVISES FULL POLL ANI) WATCHFUL CARE TILLMAN SAYS MANNING'S REFLECTION IS PROBABLE AS WOODROW WILSON'S. "Threatened Disaster" Should Make Them Alive to Duties of Citizenship, Senator Says?Would Have Honest Vote and Fair Count. Benjamin Ryan Tillman, senior United States senator from South Carolina, said yesterday that he believed the reelection of Gov. Richard I. Manning next Tuesday was as certain as the return of Woodrow Wilson to the presidency of the United States this fall. The threatened disaster, he said, had been brought about by a reckless disregard of duty on the part of a large proportion of the electorate, and the return of Gov. Manning to another term could be accomplished only by a thorough awakening of the people and strenuous activity by citizens in getting to the polls the 20.000 indifferent voters who remained away the first primary. "The Lord helps those who help themselves," was his cryptic appraisement of the value of industrious, personal effort during the second primary. His advice to all who favored good government was to go to the polls early, remain there all day and work for those who best represented the welfare of the State, and to stand by until the ballots were counted. "Keep Primary Clean." 1 i In anticipation of the charge of fraud, Mr. Tillman expressed the lu.pe that all legal forms would ho omnlied with ."that there may he iv ' possible justification of a charge o; - unfairness or illegality." "Whatevet may happen," he concluded. "I should hate to see the integrity of the pri-j nary challenged. And no greatei , calamity could occur than for monej ' to he used." Mr. Tillman is chairman of the committee on naval affairs in the I United States senate and, upon the completion of the session's program of legislation, two weeks ago, relate to the nation's military power on the high seas, returned to his home at Trenton, where he has keen recuperating from his arduous labors in Washington and is now giving much attention to his farming interests. From his corn crop this year he says he will harvest extraordinarily large yields and his cotton will produce an average crop. Mr. Tillman fattens cattle each winter, and the only commercial fertilizer he used this year was acid phosphate. This in connection with the cow lot refuse is producing, as good cotton this year, he says, as grown in previous years with 50fl pnd (500 pounds of high grade guano to the acre. Mr. Tillman says he will harvest within the next few weeks enough silage from his peavin? and sorghum acreage to fatten another herd of steers this winter. Whi'e in Columbia yesterday Mr. Tillman was the guest of his nephew, John E. Swearingen, State superintendent of education, on Blanding street. Wood row Wilson's Record. National legislation, under- tk magnificent lendersh;p of Wo > I row Wilson during the last four years, Mr. Tillman regards as monumental. Tl.e . decentralization of the money jower. through the medium of the f;:!era. reserve act, stands out, he said, a- | the most constructive enactment of; many decades, and the recently passed rural credits law, he says will prov? a powerful factor in developing :h.agricultural resources of the nation particularly in the States where the Torrens systetm or some other efficient land registration act has been passed. In summarizing his statements relative to both national and State politics Mr. Tillman said: "I believe Woodrow Wilson will he j reelected president of the United] States, just as I believe Mr. Manninu ! will be reelected governor of South Carolina. 1 don't think the good Lord has any ill will toward the peo'ple of this State. He is only chastening them by threatened disaster, j and is making them alive to their duties of citizenship. The election will he carried by personal activity on the part of the voters, and 'the Lord help| those who help themselves.' The man I who wants good government should I go to the polls early next Tuesday. I stay there all (lav and work for the best interests of the State and not y<> home until he sees the ballots count ed. I sincerely hope that all le>;:d forms will he complied with, that there may be no possible justification of a l imine of unfairness or illegality Whatever may happen. 1 shou'd ha < to sec the integrity of the priir.ar challenged.

On last Monday morning at A o'clock Buffalo Graded school opened its doors for another session. Notwithstanding the rather abnormal conditions that now exist on account of having to operate half the force at day and the other half at night, an i notwithstanding the uneasiness caused hy the infantile paralysis scare, the school had a very flattering opening. The opening exercises were held out in the open, as the school is not provided with an auditorium. Besides the children, a number of patrons and friends responded to a previous invitation sent out hy Prof. Shuford, 'he principal, to be present. After the <ong "America" was sung, botlr by the school and devotional exercises. l!e followed by making a shore but appropriate address. This was followed by a short talk by the pimcipal, in which he expressed his interest in the success of the school. Th.- pupils were then admitted to the different class rooms hy grades under the supervision of the respective teachers. It is to the credit of the trustees of the school and to the managers of" the mill company that more than a hundred new single desks have taken the place of as many old rickety, wornout ones. The principal, Mr. F. E. Shufotd, S&SbttLto have great faith in the people <^HtlfFalo, to stand by him in hir 'efforts to make the school a successful one this year. There can be no more valuable asset to any town or community than a good school. While there are yet many parents populating our mill communities for practically no other purpose than to better their material conditions, there are many more who come influenced also by the thought of improving their school facilities. Back to the subject in general. One cannot help observing the improvement that is being made in Buffalo in many ways. The houses are being overhauled and then repainted l?v the I -ompany. The streets are being greatly improved also. While there still remains much to be done, the citizens of Buffalo have a right to be proud of such a noticeable beginning. Perhaps there is no mill town anywhere whose people are more responsible to church life than the people of Buffalo. No commendable appeal to any of the church ever goes unheedeti. Of course Buffalo has its share of kickers, as every other town, kickers from without and kickers from within. Kickers from without may be expected, but why any person should wish to be always knocking a town in which he lives or a corporation to which he daily looks for support or to which he owes his financial success, is rather a startling fact. t * u~ ~ r i ~ 1 i... lifi tin* 111 Duiiaiu Mtiiiu i?y their schools, their churches, their merchants and the officials of our industrial corporations upon whose shoulders rest the tremendous responsibility of keeping in operation the wheels of our industrial enterprises. Then as a people with hijrh ideals of citizenship demand of our mill officials the conditions commensurate with these ideals, and when we get them, show our appreciation to them by refusing to knock them. This is the only way to build up a peace-loving and a harmonious citizenship in our mill towns. "Citizen." NEW "HOPE New Hope, Sept. 5.?
