There was fumbling and

son asked.
He was sitting on the side OF
his bunk, the whole pose of hie
figure indicating utter detection
and hopelessness. He was still
breathing heavily from the exer-
tion he had made. His shirt had
been ripped entirely from him In
the struggle. and blood from a
cash in the cheek was flowing
down his naked chest, marking a
red path across his white thigh
and dripping to the floor.

Elsewhere in this issue will be
found a clipping from the Anderson
Daily Mail in which it is asserted
that Mr.. Cooper in a conversation at
Anderson on last Saturday, made
these remarks: 81 will be a candi-
date for Governor next summer if
certain conditions exist" And the
Mail adds,-"and the smile that fol-
lowed this remark strongly indicated
that he had received assurances that
these conditions exist now and will
continue to exist"
Mr.. Cooper should not be too con-
dent. 1t is a long way to Upper
airy. Governor Manning will be in
the race to succeed himself. He
may have lost some of the strength
he had in the first race last year; GER
tain it is that he has gained some.
In a race in Abbeville county be-
tween Manning, Cooper and Blease,
it could hardly be expected that
Manning would lose any great num-
Der of votes which were for him in
the first race last year; we predict
that his vote would be doubled.

Editor Horton in his last weeks
issue calls attention to the number
of distinguished gentlemen, who re-
side on Greenyille street, and his
remarks, we admit, are a deserved
tribute to these notables. But the
editor is slightly mistaken in saying
that Col. Kerr, the gentleman who
buys now, and promises to pay later,
is a resident of Greenville street at
present. The Col. is now a resi-
dent of Main street. Mrs. Kerr is
visiting in New York, and the COL,
having no one to protect him when
darkness comes on, has taken up his
his residence with his uncle Jim, an
other friend of the poor man.

On Two-Cent Passenger Rates

both the State and the Railway Com.
pany testified that the claims Of the
railroad we're sustained by the facts.
Two cents did not pay the cost OF
carrying a passenger a mile. The
State, however, contended that the
railroad was earning enough surplus
on It's state freight business to give a
fair return upon the capital used In
its passenger as well as its freight
business. For the purposes Of the
case, the railroad did not deny this,
but held to its contention that the
State could not segregate its pas
senger business for rate fixing with
out allowing a rate that would be
sufficient to pay the cost Of doing
business and enough to give some
return upon the capital invested IN
doing the business regulated. This
was the issue presented to the Su-
preme Court. Its decision responds
to the Judgment of the fair-minded
sentiment of the country. The gu
preme Court says that, ever though
a railroad earns a surplus on q par
ticular commodity by charging rea-
sonable rates, that affords nc reason
for compelling It to haul anothers
person or property for less than cost.
Tho surplus from q reasonable rate
properly, belongs to the railway com
pany. If the surplus is earned from
an unreasonable rate then that rate
should be reduced. The State may
not even up by requiring ~the~railroad
to carry other trafic for nothing Or
for less than cost
The decision Il . wholesome ono

rules Of fair dealing apply to railway
companies. The tact that one makes

THE STATE HOSPITAL.

Elsewhere in this issue will be
found some account of improvements
being made at the Hospital for the
Insane. The improvements speak
for themselves. Under the man
agement of Superintendent c. Fred
Williams reforms have already been
inaugurated which r saving the
State several thousand dollars per
year. By the end of the year his
administration of the affairs at this
institution may teach the State legis-
lature the value of appropriating sal
aries sufficiently large to justify the
employment of men or real merit in
positions demanding the best talent
in the professions.
And some of the politicians who
have been disposed to criticise Gov
ernor Manning for employing the
right kind of a man, even alta salary
twice the size of that provided, may
have cause to take the lex track.
We presume, if the Stat2 had appro-
priated only half enough money to
feed the wards, that every person
would have said the governor should
not allow them to starve while wait
ing for the Legislature to meet. If
the wards are in need of the best
medical attention which the State
can provide, then TIE State should
provide the best medical attention.
And because the best medical atten-
ton could not be had under the SUI
pervision of a man receiving $4,000
per year, it becarle the duty of
Governor Manning to give the wards
what the salary provided would not
give them,-a man qualified for the
position--and the people will ap-
prove the action of His Excellency.

was elected to the Office on the plat
form on which Cooper then stood.
If it is a question of platforms and
not of men, we are of the opinion
that Cooper could best serve the
state at this time by holding up the
hands of Manning and by helping
him carry out the principles for
which they both contended. He can
afford to await a better day. If he
does not he may be a wiser, but. a
sadder man.

Cooper could not expect to receive
the vote which he received last year
in the first primary because he was
then supported by a large number of
Blease men, as he was in all, coun-
ties of the State, who would support
Blease instead of Cooper next year,
thus lessening his chances.
Then again Manning will be run
ming for his second term. He was
elected to Office on the same plat
form on which Cooper ran, the en-
,forcement of the law. We dare say
that he has gone about this as yigor-
ously as Cooper would have done
had he been elected. He has not
been afraid to tackle conditions in
Charleston, and to close blind tigers
and liquor shops to ar eXtent'that no
other governor of South Carolina
has done. He has stood for the en-
forcement of the law everywhere.
Being entitled as of custom to a Sc
cond term, Cooper could only oppose
him on the ground that he had made
a failure as the chief executive Off
Ger of the state. If he did this he
would find himself, making the same
fight on Manning that Blease would
be making, and he would thus align
himself with Blease in fighting
Manning, and as between Cooper and
Blease there is little doubt in our
minds as to who would "out-Blease"
the other. And if Cooper conducted
a campaign of criticism against Man
ming, and should be fortunate enough
to go into the second race with
Blease it would be doubtful whether
he would be able to beat him.
But this contingency will not arise.
Manning will be the leading figure
in the race, both because he is a can
didate for the customary second
term, and because he will be attack
ed by all other candidates who run.
and will thus be one man against the
field. In a three cornered race, he
would easily be the leading candi-
date. 1t will not do to under-esti-
mate this fact. Then again Man.
ming will be the leading candidate
because he has lived up to the obi.
cations of his office. He may have
done some things which politicians
believe to be mistakes, and he has
probably made mistakes; but he has
tried to be the governor of all the
people, and. to enforce the laws i'm
partially, as he promised. For these
reasons we believe Manning would be
the leading candidate in a three
cornered race. Cooper's chances
therefore would depend on his ability
to beat Blease for second place. II

only through the influence of Blease
in the second race, and after making
the campaign which he did last sum-
mer, he could hardly ask for the
support of Blease, nor allow himself
to become virtually the Blease can
didate.
But Manning will be reelected in
any emergency. A few politicians
have made considerable noise in
finding fault with him, but these poll
ticians do not elect men to Office
The great silent majority cast the
votes which elect men to office; and
these men have not spoken. Wher
they do speak, they will not likely
repudiate the man whom last summer
they triumphantly elected. Manning
