Roland s. Morris, Democratic State
chairman, In formal statement yester-

unmitlgatcd misstatements' the charges
of Senator Penrose that there had been
violations OF the Civil Service code In
the Consular Department at Washington.
Senator Penrose charged that expert
enced men in the Consular Service have
been replaced by hordes of hungry Of
fic seekers with no qualifications or ex-
perlence for their duties.
'Penrose forgets,' Mr.. Morris said,
that the people read the papers and
know the facts. Not a single item in
the Civil Service code of the Consular
Department has been abrogated. Not a
single appointment to the Consular Ser
vice has been made without civil SER

Manning. July 7.-The initial cam

when a meeting of about 800 voters
addressed by f.. j. Dennis of Bcrke-
ley county and Congressman Richard
:. Whaley Of Charleston, who is seek
ing reelection, after filling the greater
part Of the unexpircd term Of the
late George $. LcSare. The meeting
was called to order 1T IL o'clock by
County Chairman OT;ryan and an in
vocation was offered by the Rev j. A.
Ansley. General good order prevailed
throughout the meeting and respect
full attention was given both speakers,
no attempt being made at heckling.
The burden of each speech was
criticism Of the opponents legislative
record and liberal promises as to
what each speaker would do if he
should be elected.
The most emphatic promise that
Mr.. Dennis made was that if elected
he would see that no "nigger" should
deliver mail to a white mans house.
At the opening of Mr.. Whaley's
speech he stated that rumors or re-
ports had been circulated that he had
promised the Manning postofIice to
several different applicants before his
election, mentioning the Manning
Times as having published such re-
ports, and chacterized the reports
as "a black lie coming from a black
heart"
At this point Louis Appelt, editor
Of the paper, arose in the audience
and vigorously denied the charge. He
was seconded with some vehemcnce
by j. Furman Bradham, whereupOn
Mr.. Whaley read a letter that had
been written him by Mr.. Applet, a
few days after the election in April
of last year, in which he acknowledged
having opposed Mr.. Whaley in the
election and asked for the appoint
ment as postmaster at Manning.

plauded when pleasing points were

Manning'S Attitude Favored.

There is almost nobody who does
not believe in education 1t is a
great thing. The education of the
children determines the quality Of the
future citizenship Of the state. That
is why the state is justified in tax
ing property to provide educational
facilities for its children. If the
facilities so provided are sufficient for
all the children of the State the state
would be Justified in applying COM
pulsiOn to force the attendance of

Manning Most Feared Candidate.

Manning Most Feared Candidate.
Manning Is the last Of the four Of
whom we have thought one would be
likely to go into the second race with
Richards. How does he stand?
He is the man most feared Ivy the
administration forces. He is distinct
ly conservative. He is strictly hon
est. He is able. He is as staunch in
his advocacy Of the enforcement Of
law as any Of the others. He has a
long and honorable experience in the
State senate and is acquainted with
the practical side Of politics. He is q
practical man of business and under
stands the financial side Of the States
affairs, and how to manage them. He
Is an ardent advocate of better edu-
cation and urges the passage of To-
cal option compulsory law. He is not
willing to pledge the State to the
adoption of fiat rate Of cents un-
til hs satisfies himself from all the
facts Of the case that such a law will
be fair to the railroads as it will be
fair to the people. He believes in a
readiustment Of the freight tariffs
which will wipe out discrimination
one OF the most necessary measures
for the progress of the State that
presents itself. He believes that the
liquor question should not be dis
turbed, but that the present laws
should be enforced rigidly and univer-
sally. He declares his purpose to
put down race track gambling and to
make the laws respected by all classes.
Richard I. Manning may not be the
polished orator who can sweep his
audience from their feet with emo
ton, but he is man who compels
the respect Of all classes and cOndi-
tons of men. He would administer
the affairs Of the state with dignity
and with credit. He possesses every
qualification possessed by any other
In the race, but with the additional
qualification that IL he should go into
the second primary he would over
whelmingly defeat John G. Richards
