We are surprised to see the fol-
lowing insinuation or charge made by
The Yorkville Enquirer, a paper
which rather prides itself, we think,
on being fair and just: But Jen-
nings and Pollock are not in this
thing (the senatorial race without
motive. There is no need for any
body to deceive themselves on that
score. AS to just what the selfish in
terests behind the motive of these
two politicians is, we do not know.
Possibly it is money-eXpenSeS paid
from some source, and a good bonus
in addition" This sort of talk is un-
worthy of a newspaper with The En-
quirer's record. If it has any proof
that the charge is true, ii should
give it. but we really think, after
consideration, that The Enquirer will
agree with us that it is neither just
nor fair TO be making such an in
SinuatiOn in the manner ii did. If
you want to charge that Jennings
and Pollock are making the race for
money, come out and say so. Make
the charge direct.-Bamberg Herald.
We think we said all we intended
to say in the editorial from which our
friend makes the above brief and
disconnected extract. We think the
editorial explained itself fully. We
do not think we said anything that
was unfair and if the Herald will
reproduce the whole editorial, we will
be perfectly willing to leave the is
sue to the judgment of it's readers.
In the meantime, the Herald will
please remember that both Mr.. Pol
lock and Mr.. Jennings, especially Mr..
Jennings, have told the people how
they are making this canvass solely
as a matter of political duty. The
Herald can believe as much of that
as it likes; but it will please leave The
Enquirer the same privilege.

Lancaster, July I: News reached
here today of the killing Of negro
child by small boy in one of the ru-
raj districts of the county Saturday.
The child's mother. it seems, had ask
ed n little negro boy five years Of age
to look after and amuse her baby
while she went on some errand or to
do some Work somewhere short dis
tance from the house. The boy replied
that he wouldn't mind the baby but
would kill it if it was left with him.
Thinking that the youthful picaninny
might carry out his threat of killing
her baby if left to his keeping, the
mother locked the child in room un-
til she could get back, as she thought.
But she had not been gone long ere
she was called back to view the re-
mains of her dead baby, for the little
boy, who had been requested to attend
the child during the mothers absence,
had climbed in at the window, 1t is
said. and with a stick had beaten the
baby to death. Sheriff Hunter went
Yesterday to the scene of the murder
where he interviewed the youthful al
legged murderer and his parents and
found the facts in the case as stated
above.

- Washington, July 8: Optimistic
views of business conditions were
presented to President Wilson today
by Henry Ford, the Detroit manu-
facturer. during an hours conference
at the White House. Mr.. Ford told
the president he saw no evidences OF
any sort OF business depression, psy-
Geological or otherwise. and said that
in his opinion business was getting
better all the time. There is abso-
lutely nothing wrong with business
Mr.. Ford told the president. THE
only trouble is that some people seem
pessimistic. If every one would only
cheer up and attend to their business,
this calamity talk would stop imme-
diately." The president and Mr. Ford
discussed the trust bills in n general
way. as we'll as the business situation.
Officials close to the president said he
was greatly encouraged by his talk
with Mr.. Ford and that he had been
further strengthened in his determi-
nation to push the trust programme
during the present session of con-
gress. Mr.. Ford refused to discuss
his call, saying that talk of business
depression was unworthy of denial.
The delegation of Chicago business
men who conferred with President
Wilson yesterday. talked today on the
same subject with Chairman COving-
ton of the house commerce commit
tee, Chairman Newlan1s Of the sem
ate interstate commerce commission.
and Chairman Overman of the judi
ciary cOmmitteee, proposing what they
necessary changes in the
antitrust bills. Representative Cow
ington told them President Wilson
had said to him, he wished to meet
big business half way in considera-
ton of the trust programme and
wanted to be fair in every way. Mr..
COvington promised to take their
under consideration and
lay his opinions before the president
and the house commerce committee.

The strong candidacy Of DR.. d. b
Johnson, president Of Winthrop, fol
the presidency of the National Educa-
tional Association, in session at st
Paul, Minn., practically paralyzed the
proceedings during several days. Most
of the northern and western delegates
stood for DR.. David Starr Jordan, and
the feeling ran so high that delegates
were unable to attend to business be-
cause of politics. Finally DR.. John
son withdrew his name, thereby restor-

THE GAME AS 1T is PLAYED
| Interesting Letter that Figured
manning Campaign Meeting.

The candidates for congress in the
First district Messrs. F. ]. Dennis and
Richard S. Whaley spoke at Manning
last Thursday. There was crowd or
about $50 people in attendance. Mr..
Dennis gave an outline of his political
career and denounced as false certain
campaign stories to the effect that he
had lined up with John P. Grace and
Louis Appel for the defeat Of Whaley.
In the course of his speech, Mr.. Wha-
lev referred to the fact that Mr.. Louis
Appelt had fought him in the election
last year to fill the uneXpired term or
George s. Legare and had then written
him a letter begging for his inf1u-
ence for appointment as postmaster.
Mr.. Appelt who was in the audience
demanded that the letter be read to
the crowd in full and not in part. Many
people in the crowd Joined in the de-
mand and the letter was read as fol-
lows:
Manning, S. c., April 18th. 1913.
Hon. Richard S. Whaley.
Charleston, S. G.
Dear Sir:-I guess this will be some
what of a surprise to you coming from
a man who did all in his power to elect
your opponent, but regarding you a
man who has experience in politics. /
desire to ask if you will be frank with
me and let me know what will be your
attitude towards the Manning postof-
flee appointment? 1t is not my pur-
pose to make fight for the office If
you are determined to recommend
some one else; but if the attitude Of
myself will not prejudice my chances
| would of course be an applicant. At
present Mrs. Appelt is the postmaster.
but if Mr.. Hughes had been chosen, l
oh n
/ intended to retire from the senate. !
know that you will have a number Of
people applying for this office, and ]
cannot blame you if you do not appoint
me. ! lost my man this time and /
will take my medicine However, the
game of politics is one that is played
different by different men. Often a
man is selected for what he has dem
onstrated he can do in political con-
test and in this contest / guess every
applicant for the Manning postoffice
elected you. But take it from me, who
did oppose you openly, that there is an
element here who made the effort to
trade with the several candidates, and
only last week they tried to get Hughes
to commit himself to them for their
support | mention this in order that
you may not be miSled into haSty ac-
tion with regard to this matter, and
before YOU reach a conclusion you will,
if YOU cannot recommend me, at least
make inquiries with regard to Mr..
Frank b. Moffett, who has been the
chief clerk for the past several years.
and who really is my dependence upon
carrying out the work in the efficient
manner in which this office has been
conducted. MOffett will satisfy all sides
here. Who he voted for l have never
inquired. as | make it a rule never to
make such an inquiry from my en-
ployees, but if you can recommend him
the patrons of this office will credit
you with good judgment.
This is personal letter to you,
which ! am sure you will regard as
frank and sincere.
Yours respectfully,
Louis Appel.

Information from Rock Hill at noon
was that the committee would certain
ly raise $4,000 and perhaps $4,000. The
idea is to use all this money for pur-
chase Of seeds which have already
been ordered, and which will be dis
tributed to all the sufferers who apply.
President Roddey who had already
wired Governor Blease of the calamity
as stated elsewhere also sent the fol-
lowing letter to the New York Com
mercial, leading paper Of the finan-
cial district that gives especial atten-
ton to matters relating to the South
ern cotton crop:
ION the night Of Monday, the 9Th in
slant, a strip Of country something
like four miles wide and twenty five
miles in length, in the vicinity Of Rock
Hill, was visited by one Of the most
destructive hail storms that ever came
to this state. The damage Is beyond
estimate, and those so unfortunate as
to be in the storms path are left desti-
tute Almost nothing in the way of
growing crops is now to be found, and
the fields have the appearance of
freshly plowed ground in February.
Where there were beautiful fields or
cotton are now nothing but sprigs pro-
jecting a few inches above the ground,
and those sprigs peeled to the bottom.
In many instances the corn is beaten
absolutely to the ground, while in
other sections one can find only stub
bles left
THE prospect is very dark, indeed.
1t is a calamity unexcelled in the his
tory Of this setcion of South Carolina.
1t means great suffering among the
poor and needy and the storm has re-
duced some who Monday afternoon
were independent farmers to destitute
circumstances today. 1t Is not a
pleasant sight to find on the public
highways negroes and even white peo-
pie crying for help. During slavery
days the negroes had those on whom
they could depend in times Of distress,
but not so today, even though their
former owners are just as kind OF
heart There are also many very poor
white people, owning no land nor any
thing of permanent value, who are just
as destitute and just as greatly in
need of help. They have not only lost
their cotton and corn, their main de-
pendence, but their cattle were either
killed by the hail or drowned, and
their chickens and their turkeys. also.
1t Is not my wish to eXaggerate condi-
tions-I merely want to tell you the
truth.
my purpose in addressing you.
therefore. is to ask if you will kindly
launch or invite subscription fund
in your paper for these people. I be-
lieve that charity could not be more
aptly extended. and whatever efforts
you may see fit towards securing help
for those greatly in need will be abun-
dainty appreciated
