The crowd evidenced their
disapproval by loudly appluuding

Paul Moore, in the same locality,
has contracted for another story
to be- added to his residence and
the material Is now being placed
on the grounds. Mr. w I With.

paint the Crawford place, Just
opposite Mr. Moore's, recently
purchased by him, and, all in all,
this end of town is on boom.
In addition to the improvements

Archer Tells Of Some County
Newspaper Dealing"
CANDIDATES GO FOR MIR
APPELT.
Messrs Watson and Featherstoue
Displeased With the Kind of
Welcome Given Them.
SPECIAL to The State.

MannlnS, June ~. MS has
been the most interesting meet
ing of the campaign. The re-
ception of the candidates, the
editorials of "My Dear Appelt, "
the dennnciation thereof by Col
Watson, the details of an ap.
parent deal for the Spartanburg
vote told by Mr. Archer and the
unusually warm set to between
the railroad commission candi.
dates all contributed to interest
the crowd of 200 persons from
start to finish. Editor Appel
had used all his "meat axe wit"
rs characterized by one of the
candidates in greeting some of
the campaigners in to days issue
of The Times, and Col Watson
resented it, as did Mr. Feather
stone. He said G.ntt had tried
to get $3.50 from him last spring
in order to buy out Stanyarne
Wilson's interest in The Piedmont
Headlight, as Wilson had tamper.
ed with the voting returns. Later
one of Gantt's friends came to
him, telling him that he needed a
newspaper to advance his candi-
dacy, and that he could buy CAN'T
out for 81, 500. Declining to do
SO, he was told that Ellerbe and
Neal would do it. Neal and CAN'T
had conferences, and the result
was that Neal and Ellerhe and
others put up S1,5 and got
Gantt's interest in the paper and
kept CAN'T to edit it for them.
EAnd, " said Mr. Archer, "if
you keep your eyes open you
may soon see something else
about this in the paper s." Great
laughter and applause.
This correspondent offers it rs
close guess that Mr. Archer's
reference was to the service of
papers on Governor Ellerbe, Mr.
Neal and others, supposed to be
McLaurin and Stokes, by Mr.
Thackston of The Headlight in u
suit which he has brought against
them for some 81, 300, as the re
suit of failure to purchase his in
terest in the paper after alleged
agreements.
If Ellerbe chose to give Appel
some of his money to edit his
paper for him, it was all right,
but it was strange that he should
invest his money in Spartanburg,
where there were sore 5000
votes.
OF course Ellerbe was sharp
enough to get Neal TO make all
the promises and agreements.
There were candidates in the hall
who had been approached by Neal
and invited to take stock in The
Headlight, in the hope of making
combination to carry Spartan
burg county.
Governor Ellerbe said that he
had 1915 invested in newspapers
in South Carolina. His money
was his own, and he used it as he
pleased, but ne had no money in
the Manning Times.
Replying to Mr. Connor's letter
concerning the reusIng of privi-
lege tax tags, he said this was
under the administration of his
predecessor. The compromise
with dealer in Marlboro was
made at the suggestion of the as
sistant attorney general, and ex-
pense was saved thereby. The
Manufacturers who had furnished
fertilizers below the analysis are
now being prosecuted.
