MANNING FOR WHITE RULE.
Governor Deplores Situation In
BeaufOrt-.A Note of Warning.

Columbia, October Al believe
in the rule of the white people, "
said Governor Manning in state
ment on the situation reported to
exist at Beaufort. Il do not feel
that it is proper for the Governor to
meddle in local politics as a rule, but
in this particular case the situation
presents a very grave and serious
question. The Democratic party
stands for white supremacy, and to
use the negro vote in an election
among the Democrats is setting a
very dangerous precedent for all
future time. | cannot too strongly
stress the Importance of white rule
in South Carolina. The precedent
established by bolt from the pri-
mary for the purpose of using the
negro voters in the general election
is most dangerous one.
Personally, under no circum-
stances would | accept a nomination
or election to any office at the hands
of the negro" said the Governor.
The negro is al right in his place,
but his place is certainly not the
ballot box. This has been proven
time and time again in the past. The
white man is the negro's best friend
when the negro is out of politics,
and the negro himself is happier
and more prosperous without the
ballot, for the reason that he is not
then to be used for the purpose of
defeating the will of the white citi-
zens of South Carolina"

A Happy Autumn to All.

Autumn never came with better
grace to the people of the United
States than this placid and fruitful
autumn of 1915. A country that is
blest so bounteously with the riches
of nature and the light of freedom
has cause at all times for deep and
lasting:gratitude; but especially at
this season of a year when other
lands are impoverished and smoking
and bleeding with war. Our very
pity for the sorrows of the old world
imbues us with profound thankful
ness for the concord and security in
which our nation and our homes are
held.
We arc free from war, not only
the war of embattled armies but the
war of political bitterness, of hostile
classes and divided interests. Differ
ences that long disturbed our eco
nomic life have been settled quietly
and Justly. The special privileges of
the few have been supplanted by
the equal rights of the many. The
forces that tended to make govern
ment a matter of patronage for par
ticular groups have given way to
the larger and higher ideals of a
true republic. The causes of agita-
ton have ceased, because the wrongs
from which agitation sprung have
been recti6ed. We face an era of
good feeling and constructive de-
velopment.
The fact that our political life has
been purged of old ills is guaran-
tee that our business life shall hence
forth move swiftly and securely for
ward. The light of an ampler pros
perity is dawning, prosperity based
upon economic and social justice
and vouchsafed to all men who seek
it with honesty andintelligence. For
these things and for innumerable
other blessings let US spend autumn,
which is always the best and pretti-
est season of the year, very joyously.
