ENTHUSIASTIC FOR MANNING

From the mountains to the sea
there Is tremendous enthusiasm for
Richard 1. Manning. and the people
who stand for good government, law
and order and a constructive policy
for the up-building OF the State, are
rejoicing over the practical certainty
that he will be the next governor OF
South Carolina.
Today he has received hundreds of
kilograms. letters and long distrance
messages congratulating him and
piedging support in the second pri-
mary. These pledges OF support are
coming from the supporters of all the
defeated candidates. Bleaseite and
ant-Blcaseite, as well as from those
who have marched I'm the Manning
GOOD government column from che
beginning OF the campaign. Many of
these promises OF support on Septe m
Der Sth. havo come from UNEXPECTED
sources and are as gratifying to Mr.
Manning as surprising.
The enthusiasm for Manning indi-
Gates that the people must have rec
ognized throughout the campaign tnat
his experience. ability and charac ter
prc-e:ninently lit him for the Office of
governor at this critical period of the
State's history. and that they now re-
toice In the opportunity to rally be-
hind him In his. campaign for good
government and the full obliteration
OF factionalism. But for the feeling
that. owing to his prominence and
long recognized leadership I'm Lehal,
OF "a business, non-political AMI con-
structive administration OF the State.
he would be- singled out for oppo-
sition and defeat by all who are op-
posed to these policies I'm government,
and that. consequently. nc would be
more difficult to place in the second
primary than less well known man,
ne would have led the race over all
the candidates by n plurality Of several
thousnd votes.
The result Of the primary has heen
revelation to many thousand voters
who took counsel of their fears and
voted for some other candidate rath-
or than their personal first choice,
Richard I. Manning. and they are now
determined TO more than make up for
their mistake In judment in the irs,
primary. The people are undoubtedly
railying to Manning. nd unless the
unanimity Of sentim, in his favor
begsts over confidence on the part of
considerable portion of his support
ers. he will be nominated over John
q. Richards on September Sth by a
vote Of two to one.
There will be n Manning landslide
In the second primary and after the
second Tuesday In January, 1915,
there will be good government in
South Carolina and the laws will be
enforced with even-handed justice.

British Sentiment Is
Not in Favor of War

London.-England shows no enthu-
siasm over becoming embroiled in a
war which might prove great calam-
ity to her interests AS far as opinion
can be gathered, sentiment tends to-
wards Austria. This is based on the
belief that Servian intrigues for I'M
dermining Austria by Pan-Slav move
ment have been SO open that no nation
could tolerate them and in the present
exuberant state Of Servian national
pride only the sharpest and most per
emptory measures could have any eff
feet.
One result Of the sudden threat OF
international complications is to thrust
Ireland from the center of the stage.
1t may even force the British factions
to a compromise, which even the king
could not accomplish, and a general
election under the present circum-
stances appears out of the question.
1t is doubtful Ii even the governme nt's
bitterest enemies would want change
In the cabinet and the upheaval Of a
fierce political campaign while the ma
ton needs to keep a cool head and
free hands for the protection of it's
European position.

Cost of FIyina AeropIanes.

It is estimated that the fuel and
oil costs of an aereplane Of high pow
er run into about five dollars per hour
of flight. In England there are from
one hundred and twenty to one hun
dred and fifty aerorlanes, and as each
hundred and fifty hours flying annual
ly, the significance of high fuel costs
will begin to be appreciated. 1t will
be measured by fuel and oil bill of
about one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars a year at retail prices. Those
who read the signs expect the rate of
increase of aircraft to continue to
one thousand aeroplanes, and many
years mean probably a fuel and oil
bill of S1,250,000. 1t has been further
estimated that ON the above suppose
ton of development aeronautics may
be expected within two years to take
one-sixth part of the fuel consumption
of all the motor-vehicles in Britain.
Of the total consumption, estimated
by Mr.. Critchley at about one hundred
million gallons year, 1t seems that
twenty million gallons are used by the
omnibuses and taxicabs of London,
while motor boats, motor cycles and
sundry users take 100000, so that
on this basis the 100000 vehicles in
England take 100000 gallons

One hundred years ago Capt. David
Porter, one of the naval heroes of the
War Of 1912, was given a great pop
ular ovation by the people of Philadel-
phia. Ten days previously Captain
Porter had reached New York after
long and hazardous voyage from
Valparaiso where on March %, he
had commanded the frigate Essex In
her gallant, but unsuccessful fight
against the British ships Phoebe and
Cherub Upon their arrival in New
York, the surviving officers and mem
bers of the crew Of the Essex were
given an enthusiastic welcome. From
New York Captain Porter proceeded
to Philadelphia, where another pop
ular ovation awaited him. On his ar
rival in the suburbs of the city the
horses were taken from his carriage
and it was drawn to the hotel by the
populace.

American catacombs and Mummies

Recent publicity has been given to
the wonders of the cliff-villages of the

lofty pumice or tufa walls of the box

u S. to- Remain Neutral
in Servia- Austrian Crisis

Washington.-In accord with pol
icy of absolute neutrality, should the
Austro- Seryian crisis develop into
war, any attempt by any Of the inter-
ested powers to purchase American
warships would be promptly turned
down by the United States, in the
opinion of officials here.
1t was pointed out that the recent
sale Of the battleships Mississippi and
Idaho to Greece could in no manner
serve as a precedent for further sale
of ships to any European government.
These battleships were misffts in the
American navy and on that account
congress consented to their sale.
President Wilson might issue a proc
lamation Of neutrality which would
cIeverly set forth just what commerce
would be permitted between this coun-
try and the parties of the conflict
which European chancellories fear is
imminent.

PRIZE FOOD. :

A Nebr. woman has outlined the
prize food in a. few words, and that
from personal experience. She
writes:
after our long experience with
Grape-Nuts, I cannot say enough In
its favor. We have used this food al
most continually for seven years.
1--WE sometimes tried other adVer-
tised breakfast foods but we invariably
returned to Grape-Nuts as the most
palatable, economical and nourishing
Of all.
when I quit tea and coffee and
began to use Postum and Grape-Nuts.
I was almost a nervous wreck. I was
so irritable I could not sleep nights,
had no interest in life.
after using GrapeNuts a short
time began to improve and all these
ailments have disappeared and now
am well woman. My two children
have been almost raised on Grape
Nuts, which they eat three times a
day.
They are pictures Of health and
have never had the least symptom OF
stomach trouble, even through the
most severe siege OF whooping cough
they could retain Grape-Nuts when all
else failed.
"Grape-Nuts food has saved doctor
bills, and has been, therefore, a most
economical food for us"
