Andrew J. Bethea in Union.

Hon. Andrew j. Bethea, candidate
f.n' Lieutenant Governor, was in Lac
city for a short while Wednesday
morning. He appeared quite sanguine
of success in his race next Tuesday,
and said it was very gratifying to
him to known that his efforts are ap-
preciatcd by the voters. To have
received so large plurality in
the first primary over other high
toned and honorable gentlemen run
ming against him was a fattering en-
dorsment. Among those wiring Mr..
Bethea and offering him support was
w. NJ. Hamer, one of his opponents in
the first primary. Mr.. Bithca is
making trip through the Piedmont
section of the State and will possibly
visit Union again before the next pri-
mary.

COOPER TO VOTE
FOR SUMTER MAN
Former Candidate for Governor Ex-
plains POsition-Ballot For His
State-Thinks Manning Can
Serve South Carolina
Better Than Rich
ards Can.

Laurens, Aug. 30-Robert A. Coop
er, accompanied by his little daugh-
ter, left this afternoon for the noun
tains of North Carolina, where he
will spend a few days resting after
the strenuous r campaign through
which he has just passed.
Mr.. Cooper was asked last night by
a representative of the press if he
cared to make a statement in refer
ence to the recent election and replied
as follows:
"I am deeply grateful to the people
of the State for the magnificent vote
given me in the first primary. The
support given me in my ownscounty
and the other counties of the Pied
mont section where | am best known
is amply sufficient to take. the sting
and bitterness out of my defeat. |
cannot fully express my gratitude to
| the thousands of friends who rallied
so nobly and unseliishly to me, but
shall endeavor to so act in the future
as to show them that their confidence
was not misplaced"
Do you propose to take any part in
the contest between Messrs. Manning
and Richards, Mr.. Cooper was asked
az shall cast my vote for Richard l..
Manning and do what | can to pro-
mote his election he replied. Con-
tinuing, Mr.. Cooper said: believe
Mr.. Manning is in position to better
serve the State than is Mr.. Richards.
"My slogan throughout the cam
paign was: Vote for your State and
l shall follow the advice given to
others.
81 do not for a moment think that l
could deliver the vote cast for me to
any other candidate, and | have no
disposition to do SO, but if ! should
at this time refrain from stating my
position l would be misunderstood,
and l make this statement in order
that there shall be no doubt now or
thereafter as to where / stand"
I Of course there was great disap-
pointment in Laurens when it became
anown that Mr.. Cooper had been de-
,rred from making the second race
governor, but all have ioined in
kgratulating him on the magnifi-
vote he received from all parts
State. He has been overwhelm-
th kilograms and letters from
throughout the State express
ret and at the same time offer
sratulations on his manly
and great vote for the
fce in the State.

The awful war now raging through
out Europe fills one with dismay. The
fearful carnage, the suffering and
poverty are appalling. And the rani
end file do not know what the fight
ing is about. They do not know that

the ambition of those high i'm author

do the fighting and the masses who
bear the burden. But out of it all
humanity will be led into larger
liberty. God is using the wrath o.
man to bring forth the liberty c.

Come on you voters one and all,
And listen now, to this earnest call,

Not simply person, who would rule

Strong efforts are being put forth
by the Blease forces and the whiskey
forces to elect Richards governor. He
would be the governor of his follow
ers and not of the whole state. His
utterances on the stump show that he
is not free man. He is. or was, a

Something must be done to climi-
nate the dangerous railway crossings,
and it must be done soon. Each year
there are several fearful accidents at
places in this county. The toll of
blood is fearful The latest tragedy
was that of last Sunday when Mrs.
Gilmore was killed. which adds Just
one more to the already long list.
We hav" for yeals advocated the
elimination Of such death traps by
going over or under the railway
track, and by having less number
Of crossings. There are entirely too
many and many of these crossings
are veritable death traps. The one
at which Mrs. Gilmore was killed is
perhaps the worst in the county. 1t
is disgrace to civilized country
The railway should be forced to
payone-half and the county should be
forced to pay one-half towards get
ting rid of these dangerous places
If we are not mistaken the Southern
railway has agreed to bear half
the expense. The Union chamber o1
commerce took up the matter here
once and passed it. No better work
could be found for this institution
than that of undertaking this work OF
elimination.
