A Unique Distinction.

To the Editor Of The News and Courier:
At this time when our Governors name Is
In the public eye, thought 1t would In
terest your readers to remind them Of the
remarkable lot Of Mrs. Richard Irvine
Manning, who has d distinction that per-
haps no other woman ever had, or ever
will haye. She was the wife OF Governor,
the mother Of Governor, the grandmoth-
or Of a Governor, the cousin Of Governor,
the niece Of Governor, and the foster
mother Of a Governor. Before her marri-
age she was Miss Elizabeth Peyre Rich
ardson. Her uncle, James B. Richardson,
was Governor Of South Carolina in 1902;
his son, (her cousin) John Peter Richard
son, became Governor in 1910; her hus-
band, Richard Irvine Manning, was elect
ed Governor in 1924; their son, John Law
renee Manning, was elected in 1852; the
boy to whom she was foster mother, John
Peter Richardson, (grandson Of the for
mer statesman of that name) was elected
In 1886, and Richard !. Manning, her
grandson, is now Governor In 1915.

fillibuster by the Republicans which has
been In progress for several days, in which
they were attempting to talk the measure
to death, was interrupted on Monday on
motion Of Senator Clarke OF Arkansas, to
send the ship bill back to the committee;
Alegislative pandemo onium followed. Sem
ators poured from the cloak room to the
Chamber. The Republicans being advised
Of the motion about to be made, were on
hand. Vice President Marshall sustained
point OF order against the motion, but
this was oyerruied upon appeal from the
chair bya vote oi. .4s to A. Nine Deme-
Gratis, including Bankhead OF Alabama.
Camden Of Kentucky, Clarke Of Arkansas,
Hardwick OF Georgia Bryan OF Florida,
Hitchcock Of Nebraska, O'Gorman Of New
York, Smith OF Georgia, and Vardaman OF
Mississippi, voted with the Repnbl blicans.
When this vote was announced, Senator
Stone of Missouri WAS recognized. With
gesture towards his own side tof the
AISLE. he declared I'm order that Demo-
Gratis may have q conference and tthat the
Republicans and their aliieg may ihold q
conference, Imove that the senate do now
adjourn" The motion Waa lost upon q
roll call by q vote OF 40 to Ss. Another
motion to lay the Clark motion on the
table was lost by vote Of a to A. Seven
Democrats voted with the Reppbl leans,
Senator LaFollette voting with the Demo-
Gratis. ~ Al y. { ..# :ts
This brought the motion to recommit
squarely before the senate, and Senator
Reed Of Missouri, commenced an arraign-
ment against bis Democratic colleagues
who had opposed the bill, and against the
Republicans, whom he claimed were sup
porters Of the shipping trust which sought
to plunder the shippers Of America.
The Democrats soughs conferences with
Progressive Republicans who had offered
amendments several days before, but they
were advised thst the offer came too late,
The result is still In doubt as this paper
goes press.

DUB AUCTIONEERS.

Abbeville has three of the best auc-
tioneers to be found anywhere. For
looks they cannot be equalled, this
side of the Georgia Fiddler's Conven-
tion. Col. Dellinger is the most majes-
tic looking of the three, and talks
sales" to the Queens taste. Magis-
trate A. R. Ellis has the Seceder pious
look on his face which proclafms to
purchasers always that bargain is
offered. Col. r. r. Wilson Is the
youngest of the three, and handles
matters with greater oratorical effect
than the others. When he "pauses for
a reply" something generally happens.
It is not surprising that the Master,
Probate Judge and Sheriff cannot
choose between them, and on that ac-
count divide the jobs.
