The Charleston Business Men, fifty
strong' with Charlestons Crack

ed schedule. We have named this trip
a "Get-Together Excursion" and we
wish 1t distinctly understood that that

national undertaking in history, the
Panama Canal, all eyes are turned to-
wards the sea and our great national
ports. We want the people to feel
that the port of Charleston is and
should be to a much greater degree,
an asset OF the entire South and
especially Of the States Of North and
South Carolina. We want to know YOU
and your special opportunities for
trade and development just as we
want you to know us. We believe
that this aim can be attained by no
better method than by sending our
representatives to meet your people
In your home city.
These representatives will express
Tor us our deep appreciation Of your
courtesy and sincere wish that we
may be drawn into closer co-opera-
ton and understanding. They will
extend to your people one and all a
cordial invitation to visit Charleston
at any and all times and assure you
that the latch string Of the city will
always hang on the outside.
Very cordially yours,

MIR. MANNING FOR GOVERNOR.

II has been n source of genuine
pleasure to US TO see how the young
men of Sumter have rallied to Mr.. r.
i. Manning's standard for the gover-
norship. 1t is really a tribute to them,
when they so readily appreciate Mr..
Manning's worth.
About fifteen years ago Mr.. Man
ming. who has always been a farmer,
moved from the country into the city
OF Sumter. He continues to farm on
a large scale. In addition to this he is
president OF the Bank OF Sumter and
has direct interest in the most i'm
portant enterprises of the city. He
has always been. and is now, a sue
cessful farmer and Is equally success
full as q business man. He feels per-
fectly at home In town or country.
The greatest tribute to his worthi-
ness Is found In the fact that. while
he has lived in the city compara-
lively few years. he is, perhaps,
sumter's leading citizen. He Is GER
tainly Sumter's best known citizen.
To make this possible there must be
back Of II all a most potent person
alfty. There must be characteristics
that command the respect and admir-
alton Of his fellowmen. This we find
TO be true. The first impression that

hrrrs and gentility. This gentiiity s.
roi only upon the surface; but is the
cor Yard manifestation OF the great
hiijen qualities OF sou. 'hat form the
light TO honor. Sincerity. integrity.
truth. and honor-these are the char
aeteristics that manifest themselves so
potcntly. In addition to these essen
tial qualities. Mr.. Manning is n gentle
man Of culture and refinement. liber-
nj education. and breadth OF view.
He has very discriminating business
Judgment and sdgacity and is broad
gauged In all OF his views and meth
DDS. IL one II looking for a governor,
who will possess qualities and abilities
that will adorn the exc Itive chair OF
n sovereign state. he need not go far
ther than Mr.. Manning.
Sumter Is keenly interested In his
candidacy. because he has never
spared his means. his influence, or
himself. TO advance all OF Sumter's in
terests-commercial. industrial, edu-
cational. and religious.
When Sumter's citizens think of
what Mr.. Manning has done for their
city II In not surprising that they take
advantage OF an opportunity to show
their appreciation. and when the
votes are counted. we believe that the
unanimity OF expression will reveal
the fact that one's fellow citizens are
not without grateful appreciation. but
desire not only that the object of
their appreciation should be the re-
cipient OF any honors that no might
wish; but also that the State Of South
Carolina should be the beneficiary Of
those qualities and characteristics
that unite to make the ideal governor.

sons stand with regard to the exemp-
ton of vessels engaged in coast wise
trade. Mr.. Manning's letter was in
reply to letter from Senator Gore
asking his position in the matter.
Senator Gore wrote Mr.. tanning as
follows:
II am writing YOU as a delegate to
the Baltimore Convention. AS you
know, the platform adopted by that
convention declared in favor Of per-
mitting vessels engaged in our coast
wise trade to pass through the Pana-
man canal free of toll. You have, of
course, read President Wilson's re-
cent message asking congress to re-
peal the section of the Panama Gov
ernment act which permits such ves-
sells to pass through the canal free of
toll.
Il should esteem it great favor if
you would kindly advise me by re-
turn mail as to whether you favor or
oppose free tolls"
