OrangI5urg, July 29.-Rictard l.
Manning, candidate for governor, at
the meeting of candidates FIR State
offices here today for the first time
during the campaign injected the is
sue OF Bleaseism or what is COM
monty considered the policy of the
present administration. Throughout
his attack on this issue the audience
cheered as one man for the senti-
ments expressed and there were
about 900 citizens Of Orangeburg
county present, who gave to each can
didate an attentive and respectful
hearing. Like tie meeting at st.
George yesterday, tie cheers, when
factionalism was brought in, were for
E. D. Smith, candidate for United
States senator, and the app wise
which was given every speaker, was
both louder and longer when the SEN
timents expressed were il favor of
strict enforcement of law and against
the injudicious use CT the pardoning
power.
Charles Carroll Simms again at
tackled John G. Richards for lis nu-
merous political affiliations, telling in
contrast Of his own long friendship
for the governor.
w. C. sIrby, Jr., stated that many
times he had refused 20 sign petitions
for pardcns and paroles and that his
friendship for the governor was based
on personal opinion.
The meeting was called to order at
1925 o'clock by Adam H. Moss,

Practically nothing new was

Richards on His Record.
John G. Richards, candidate for

road commissioner. He asked that the

working the cCnVictS upon the high
ways of tee county in which they are

wise one and therefore favor it, but
am unalterably opposed to working
white and negro convicts together or
forcing terms of social equality in tee
camp or 'stockade.
"I shall stand for a strict enforce

our people and without partiality to

Scr three months during the winter
vas supported by an additional do
nation of SIS by the Newberry cotto;
mill. The music department at the
high schcool vas maintained by pri
vate tuition.
The total enrolment in the SCHOOLS
during the year was 1,279 as against
,227 during the previous year. There
is an outlook for very large at,
tendance next year and need Of til
additional force We should be glad
that We were able to give Speers street
school an additional teacher, SO thai
there would be seven teachers instead
OF six for the seven grades. We should
be glad also to furnish an additional
teacher at West End school And il
is probable that another teacher vii
be needed at the high school, At the
Hoge school at least two Of the teach
ers need assistants.
With the present deficit Of $1,352.09
and the present additional needs Ill
the schools the board feels entirely
warranted in appealing to the citizens
OF NeWberry for a reasonable increase
in the tax levy for school purposes
We ask that he special one mill vot-
ed for repairs to be collected for two
years, 1913 and 1914, be continued af-
ter this year as a part Of the extra
tax for regular purposes, and that an
additional mill be added, making the
total tax for school purposes in this
city ten mills. When we consider the
facts that this tax is 50 much needed
here, and that the city OF Laurens
pays ten and a half mills for school
purposes, Greenwood y, Saluda II IL
Marion Is, Dillon Is, and Pickens is
nils solely for the support Of public
education ,and the Importance CT it,
we feel that we should raise the
school tax in Newberry from nine, as
it now is. to ten mills as soon as pcs
sible. TIE board has no way of pay
irg up it's deficits except from funds
voted by the public, unless as was
done in Columbia, S. c., this year, an
appropriation of $4,000 was made by
tie city council in order to reduce a
deficit of So, 900 in the public schools
OF that city.

SLOWLY N CASE
Thirty-seven Witnesses Ap.
pear in the Trial of John
Krafchenko.

Morden. Man, March 26.-Step by
step w. II. Hastings. counsel for the
crown, is weaving together before the
jury the chain Of evidence which the
crown alleges connects John kraf-
chenko with the man who shot down
the manager of the Bank Of Montreal
at Plum Coulee December 3. Thirty
five witnesses have So far appeared in
the witness box since the trial began.
and their stories have been ELECTED by
the crown with the purpose OF proving
that John krafchenkO was in the vi
cinity of Plum Coluee on the day of
the murder, and that he was attired
in black. The stories of both VIM.
Reigie anr his wife go to show tina,
that fateful day. They say that he
was at their house three miles from
the village on the morning of Decem-
ber 3. Their knowledge of Johns
whereabouts ceases with that morn
ing.
Mrs. Reggie says he was there when
she went out about o'clock to do the
chores. Reigie says Krafchenso said
goodbye to him about q o'clock. The
light on the man in black are James
Wiebe, Cornelius Thiesen and Jacob
Bergen. who saw the shooting; Wal
lace Root who saw the man enter the
murder car. and Mary Doerksen and
the other Plum Coulee children who
saw the strange man in the long black
overcoat and wearing a black cap.
Mary Doerksen says she knew this
man to be John Krafchenko because
OF his eyes. She also says he had q
brown moustache. The other children
spoke Of the man having a black
beard. William Reigie comp,icates an
already complex problem by saying
that he saw the "man in black" at q
distance Of about 112 yards and that
lie did not think it was Krafchenko.
The crown. however, today contin-
ued to move steadily forward. Mrs.
Reigie admitted that Krafchenko had.
after his arrival at her house and aft
er one of his trips into Plum Coulee,
returned with a black overcoat. She
couldn't identify tn one on exhibit
with the one worn by Krafcheriko.
She stated further that the accused
wore 4 light grey cap.

way for the launching OF the actual

President Wilson conferred with
several congressman before the house
