Richard T. Manning Wednesday
morning interrupted John B. Adger
Mutually in the midst Of his denun-
citation of Mr.. Manning with the
statement that everything Mr. Null
laly had said about him was mali
ciously false, while scores of the
audience rose to their feet to watch
the situation. Mr.. Manning, facing
Mr. Mutually on the stand, in front
of the 1900 people in the audience,
said to him in clear voice: 81

By this time there was consider
able uproar, but Chairman Keitt got
between the two men and Sheriff
Cannon G. Blease warned a specta-
tor, who started from the rear of
the stand, to get back. Mr.. Manning
took his seat, while many cries Of

with shouts from the followers of

of Bleasism. The two factions in

VOTE WILL BE LARGER
ENROLMENT SHOWS INCREASE
OVER TWO YEARS AGO.
Figures From Thirty-Four Counties
Compared With Their Vote in Elec-
ton of 1912.

The enrolment of voters upon the
club lists of thirty-four counties of
South Carolina indicate that the
total enrolment for the State will be
considerably greater than the total
number of votes polled in the guber-
natorial race Of 1912. The total of
votes for the 1912 race, as given out
by the State Democratic committee,
was 140,757. of which 72,043 were
polled for Gov. Blease, 66,548 for
Judge Jones and 2,166 for John T.
Duncan.
This years Democratic enrolment
for thirty-four counties is given be-
low, together with the county vote
for governor in 1912. The table of
county enro1ments is derived from
the county newspapers, and the list
Of gubernatorial returns is made up
by News and Courier correspond
ent from the total vote accorded Gov.
Blease without accounting for the
scattering vote of slightly more than
two thousand in favor Of John Dun
can.
Slight discrepancies in the enrol
ment of more than one county may
be accounted for by relatively unim-
portant county annexations:

WATCHING FOOD PRICES
WILSON INVESTIGATES RISE IN
COST OF FOODSTUFFS.
President Starts Department Officials
Inquiry Into Alleged Artificial In
crease.

President Wilson Thursday set il
motion the machinery Of the fed
eraI government to determine wheth
! er the cost of living is being increas
ed upon the pretext of the condi
tions existing in Europe" He call
ed upon Attorney General Mercy
inolds to report if criminal prosecu
tions were warranted, and if any
new laws were necessary. The presi
dent may send special message tt
congress in the latter event.
Certain the country ought to be
| defended if possible, the president
iwrote to the attorney general
| against men who would take advan.
tage of such circumstances to in
crease the price of food and the diff
fculties of living" Within few
hours from the time the president
acted three Of the executive depart
ments of the government were NOV
ing to learn the cause of the soaring
prices of food throughout the coun-
try
Attorney General McReynolds set
at work the bureau of investigation
of the department of justice with its
hundreds Of agents throughout the
country. Agents Of the department
of commerce also were started upon
the jnouiry, and Secretary Redaeld
conferred with Se~ cary Houston of
the department Of agriculture.
Some officials who believe the
greater proportion of price increases
have no connection whatever with
the European war but are the result
Of man:pulations, attempts at cor
ners or individual efforts Of dealers,
contend that the conspiracy" sec
ticn OF the Sherman law covers the
situation. Attorney McReynolds,
however, will give an opinion on that
feature to the president later.
Congressmen who already have in
treduced resolutions to investigate
the rise in prices and others who are
preparing similar measures viewed
the action of the administration with
satisfaction. They pointed out that,
while -four particularly had taken t
great jump in price, wheat exports
practically are paralyzed and mil
lions of bushels are piled up in ele-
vators or in freight cars strung
across the country.
Secretary Redfeld wrote Chairman
Adamson Of the House commerce
committee suggesting an appropria-
ton of $4,000 for his part of the in
yestigation.
IF the present temporary stop
page Of trade with foreign countries
is made the basis for an attempt in
the country to put up prices artifi-
cially,' said the secretary, ''it is un-
patriotic, I may say even damnable :"
{ The food question was the first in
% which President Wilson plunged
when he went back to his desk after
his return from Rome, Ca, where he
buried Mrs. Wilson.

PLAN FOR RELIEF
DELEGATES FROM COTTON BELT
ARE NOW IN CONFERENCE.
Bills Introduced to Provide for
Chain of Licensed and Bonded
Warehouse for Storing Cotton.

Plans for relief of the South from
embarrassment growing out Of the
closing of European markets during
the war are assuming definite
shape. The Southern Cotton con-
gress, composed Of cotton men from
every Southern State, has opened a
special session called to deal with the
war situation, and Southern senators
and representatives will cooperate
with them in perfecting financial leg
islation to enable growers to hold a
part of a big crop over until the mar
ket becomes more nearly normal.
One plan for providing this relief,
details of which have been worked
out by Southern congressman in con-
sultation with experts of the depart
ment of agriculture, will be embod-
led in a measure in the Senate by
Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia and
in the House by Representative
Lever of South Carolina The meas
ure will propose establishment of a
chain of licensed and bonded ware
houses, where cotton may be stored
until conditions become normal and
be made the collateral for issuance of
emergency currency.
The advisability of some such ac-
tion was urged before the House
agricultural committee by commits
sioners of agriculture Of the cotton
states. E. J. Watson, commissioner
of agriculture of South Carolina and
president Of the cotton congress, out
lined his view that cotton should be
made stable basis of credit and that
the federal reserve board should be
given power to make warehouse re-
ceipts the basis for currency issued
under the feredal reserve act. His
suggestions were seconded by E. r.
Kone and r. C. Hollingsworth.
eve don't want system Of valor-
ization," Mr.. Watson told the COM
mittee. eve do not want the gov.
ernment to advance money to the
holders of cotton. We want you to
lend the money to finance this crisis
on proper security, and we want the
money withdrawn just as soon as the
need for it has passed.

LOOKING FOR REVENUE
McAdoo and Underwood Searching
for Frauds to Replace War Loss

How to raise something like $780,
900, 900 to Offset the loss to the Unit
ed States in import duties to result
from the war in Europe is the SUBJ
iect now uppermost in the minds OF
Secretary McAdoo and Representa-
tive Underwood, chairman Of the
House ways and means committee.
Treasury experts have completed
a statement showing imports from
the war zcne. They did not hazard
an estimate Of probable loss in re-
venues, though informally it was ad-
mitted that the total might be nearly
s1O0,OO0,oO0 for the year. Figures
also have been prepared to demons
trate what might be raised by IN
creased taxes on liquors and tobacco
and by adding to the income tax.

DROPPED BY BLEASITES
RICHARDS REFUSED TO TELL
HOW HE VOTED.
Spartanburg Journal Prints Interest
ing Article Concerning Change of
Heart Among Bleasites.

Since many of the Spartanburg
county Blease people have turned
against Richards because of his re-
fusal to state where he stood in the
governors election in 1912, it has
been learned, says the Spartanburg
Journal, that greater part of this
strength will go to w. C. Irby Jr.,
the Laurens county administration
candidate. It would now appear that
Irby will carry the Spartanburg coun-
ty Blease vote over the other BIease
candidates.
In an interview with Robert J.
Can't a reporter was advised that
the Blease people are by no means
Bold in the support of any candidate
for governor. There has been no
elimination except where the in
dividual voter is eliminating by
choosing the best man as he sees it, :"
said Mr.. Can't.
cit is true that number of voters
left Richards as the result Of his re-
fusal to state his position two years
ago, when questioned as to this Sat
urday night. Mr.. Richards was a
candidate for railroad commissioner.
before the people two years ago, and
both sides claimed him.
Continuing, Mr.. Can't said: "The
present campaign for governor is a
campaign of principles as well as
men, and unless a man stands
squarely for the principles supported
by Gov Blease, the Bleasites are not
disposed to support him. Richards
answer last Saturday night caused
many to question his loyalty to
BIease principles. There are men
running in this campaign, who open
ly take the position that they will
not answer as to whom they will
support. They are not running as
'Bleasites'. They are straddlers and
are running as such, and will be
voted for as such.
"But no one hoping to succeed
Gov. Blease as governor and leader OF
the Blease movement can be elected
by the Bleasites as such. A large
number Of the Bleasites will not vote
for any man who does not stand
squarely for Blease principles, and
whose loyalty to them they can not
question. We assume that man
who has supported Gov. Blease in
the past will continue his loyal sup
port. If he is a recent convert to
BIeasism, and aspires to lead the
cause, we realize that he has the
right to change his views, we want
to. know this fact, ard then we want
to know, Why he has changed so
that wenmight not suspect that there
is some connection between the
change of political faith, and the
race for Office. We want to know
this so that we will not feel that the
same political aspiration that
prompted a change, will not prompt
another change. That our candidate
will stay put.
"Any candidate can say I will vote
for Blease at the coming election,
but the question is, will he be a
Bleasite after the election.
'tI think Mr.. Irby hit the nail on
the head when he asked M. Rich
ards if he was so anxious to let the
people know how he was going to
vote two weeks from now, why was
he unwilling to tell how he voted two
years ago?
"Mr Richards>is not running as
straddler but as a Bleasite, and we
want to know if his record as such IS
sound"
