Pain to Give Riddles Recreation
Spaces in Crowded New Yerk.
New York Sum-
Hugh E. Mclaughlin, civil engineer
from the Bronx, proposes the building
OF elevated parks and Fairgrounds in
the congested East Side section of
Manhattan borough, along First av-
enue north of Twenty-third street
and along Second avenue south o.
Twenty-third street. Last winter he
made an exhibit o.; his idea at the city
planning exhibit at the New York
public library. In speaking of tae
matter t1e other day Mr.. McLaugh-
lin said:
Such men as Amos Pinchot, julius
Cohen, Dudley NaNne, Gen. Wingate,
Thomas W. Churchill, Charles Dana
Gibson, Gutzon Borglum' and active
pnilanthropists wrote me strong let
ters of support and approval. About
a month ago the matter was again
taken up publicly. During the winter
l sent copies OF the plan to members
of the city administration.
"TEday the administration is build
ing the first elevated playground at
t1e westerly approach of the Will
liamsburg bridge, Commissioner
Kracke in charge The completion
will be early in July.
Il have no part in the construction
and my work has been given gratis,
as l tried to get the moral support Of
those interested and will continue to
do SD properly.
AT present in Manhattan there are
eleyated railroad structures on First
avenue south Of Twenty-third street,
on Second avenue north of Twenty
third street, on Third avenue entire
Iy, on Park avenue through Harlem,
on Sixth and Eighth avenues in part
and on lower Ninth avenue.
''As indicated, Second avenue has
no elevated railroad below Twenty
third street and First avenue none
above Twenty-third street, SO that on
these avenues the proposed ornamen-
tai parks and Fairgrounds can be
built.
The plan obviously offers wide
range to the fancy of the park maker
and to the hopes OF the playground
enthusiast. Tennis courts and a
covered baseball diamond are shown
with the parks alternately arranged,
Running tracks, gymnasium appa-
ratus ard football fields could readily
be provided in their continuous struc-
lures.

Sharpe His Chairman.

Another departure from his Gus
tomary speech today was the open
statement by the governor that State
Senator W. H. Sharpe of Lexington
county was chairman Of the Blease
State organization. The governor ex-
Francis H. Weston is attempting to
machine. with representative from
each county composing the execu-
tive committee. The county sub
organization. he said was composed
of one or two members from each
club in the county
Another interesting feature of the
governors speech was the charge tnat
Francis H. Weston is attempting to
disrupt the Democratic party in
South Carolina.
In this connection the speaker
said: ''How long, I wonder, will Mr..
Wilson allow the Democratic doctrine
of Grover Cleveland, the good rule
laid down by him that federal ap-
pointees should not participate in
party politics, to be violated?'
Mr.. Weston, the governor charged,
was doing all in his power to disrupt
the Democratic party in the State by
splitting it up into factions in work
ing for Senator Smith. This, ne said,
was being done that there might be
an excuse to go to the general cleo
ton in the event of the defat Of the
anti-BIease forces.
The meeting today was largely at

TUESDAYS ELECTION.

Next Tuesday is the day of the first
primary election, when the Demo-
Gratis of South Carolina will choose
a United States Senator and Governor
and other State officers. 1t is un-
fortunate that there is division
among the white people of the State,
unfortunate because of the appeals
to passion and prejudice by designing
politicians, but We hope to never see
the day when our people will not
differ politically, for that will indi-
cate a condition of lethargy which
cannot fail to result in laxity in
public affairs. We want to see the
people interested and awake to their
responsibilities and opportunities. 1t
is an enlightened citizenship which
makes for good government, and
under such condition we should all
be content. We believe in the rule of
the majority, and by this we mean a
majority of our own white people,
not control of the government by
unnaturalized foreigners who are op-
posed to our institutions and who
only emigrate to this country to make
money. No man who is not an Ameri-
can citizen should be allowed to vote
or own property in this country, and
to such a principle we can see no
objection. In casting your ballot next
Tuesday, think carefully over the
situation and vote for the best men,
those who. have the confidence of the
best people in the State and who
stand for the highest ideals OF
government. America for Ameri-
cans" should be the sentiment of
every small farmer and landowner,
for it is only thus that American in
stitutions and American ideals can be
preserved.

RICHARD l. MANNING, OF SUM- ENDORSES
GOVERNOR. MANNING FOR GOVERNOR

Bishopville, S. c., Aug. 13, 1914.
To the Democratic Voters of South
Carolina
1t is a poor policy 70 split up our
votes among great many candi-
dates; by doing so some man that
the majority does not want is apt
to get a plurality in the first race
and so be the candidate in the Sec
ond re- e, when az. a matter of fact
a big n ajority of people are opposed
to him. We, farmers and business
men of Lee County, wish to commend
to all our fellow South Carolinians
our neighbor and a man we know
we'll. Hon. Richard 1. Manning, as
their choice for governor. Mr.. Man
ming is first of all a successful far
mer, and next, is a successful busi-
ness man. He is a man whose pri-
vate life is above reproach, whose
public life is always open, who takes
a stand to what he thinks is right
and does not put his honest convic-
tions aside for stand that he does
not believe in, but which will bring
him votes. If elected he will make
South Carolina an able governor,
conducting the affairs Of the State
along sound, but progressive lines.
United we stand; divided we fall"
We urge every good South Carolinian
who wants to see our State we'll gov
erned for the next two years to vote
for Richard I. Manning.

THE FIRST BALE.
Mark kinard, Colored, Captures the
Honor This Year.

The first bale of 1914 cotton to be
marketed in Bamberg county, was
bought in Saturday by Mr.. A. Rice
from Mark kinard, a colored farmer
residing on Mrs Browns plantation,
in the Clear Pond section. Mr.. Rice
shipped the bale Saturday evening, by
express, to F. W. Wagner & Co., at
Charleston, and was informed by that
concern that this is probably the first
bale in the State, though dispatches
from Florence indicated that a bale
was sold there on Thursday. Mr.. Rice
received letter from F. w. Wagner
q Co., Tuesday, in which it was
stated that they had received offers
for the cotton, but that up to that
time it had not been sold. 1t appears
that Florence and Bamberg are close
contestants for the first bale honor,
both being handled by Charleston
cotton dealers, and it appears un-
certain as to which reached that
market first.
The bale weighed 436 pounds and
graded strict middling. 1t is stated
that a number of farmers hereabouts
could have marketed bale several
days previous, but thinking some
other place in. the State had already
captured the honor, did not hurry.
Bamberg has several times marketed
the first bale, cotton maturing slight
ly earlier here, it seems, than in most
of the counties. 1t is stated that the
first bale has been somewhat dilatory
about making its appearance this
year on account of recent unfavor-
able conditions, and the recent rains
in and around Bamberg have
hampered the farmers in harvesting
their first open cotton.

Improvement Association.

To all concerned in rural schools:
The South Carolina school i'm
prove association stands for:
/. Minimum term of seven months.
2. Local tax in every district.
8. Enrolment of every child of
school age
4. Regular attendance of every pu-
pill.
= 5. At least one teacher for every
so pupils.
6. Modern buildings with modern
equipment.
7. Hearty cooperation between the
home and the school.
Superintendent J. E. Swearingen
says: "A quartet Of forces is at
work in nearly every county. The
county superintendent Of education,
the county farm demonstration agent
the rural school supervisor and coun-
ty agents of girls clubs represent the
best influences now at work in the
State. Better schools and better
teachers inevitably lead to better
homes and better citizenship" He
further urges that the school house
be. the centre of social and commun-
ity life for recreation, encouragement
and further education of the parents.
The purpose of the rural school or
ganizations is to bring people togeth-
er.in their common interests. Habits,
like diseases, are contagious. We
want the folks in every rural school
in the county to get together and or
ganize themselves, electing a presi-
dent, vice president, secretary and
treasurer. These officers are expect
ed to serve one year. These meetings
shall be held once a month, or more
often, at the call of the president.
The county organizer and State
president of associations are plan
ming a county campaign to take place
in September, during which time we
expect to visit all the rural schools,
three each day if possible. The pur-
pose of this campaign is to aid, ad-
wise, sympathize and encourage every
person in their respective locality to
better schools, etc.
The schedule and time will be an
nounced later so that every one can
be at their school centre when we
arrive. We are sure you will be
pleased with Miss Hite's visit. She
is thoroughly acquainted with rural
school work and has plenty of good
things to tell you.
Now, I want to insist that the
chairman board of trustees write a
personal letter to the county organlz-
er describing your wishes as best you
can at once so we can put them on
file and get acquainted.
We wish to inform you that the
county organizer does not get a sal

1t is understood plan is being
advocated for the building of a large
warehouse in Bamberg. Under the
plan of taking care Of the cotton
crop perfected by the Southern cotton
congress and the government, cotton
to be drawn upon must be stored in
an approved warehouse. 1t is stated
that there are a number of buildings
in and around Bamberg which could
be easily and inexpensively converted
into warehouses that would meet the
requirements. The warehouse receipts
for cotton will be accepted by. the
banks as collateral, under the plans
outlined by the treasury department.
