One of two things is brought
out in such action of the bank

another Beckham and put him

people do not want that kind of

We plead guilty. We used to

denied in some Of the newspapers Of
the up-country to the purport that
supporters Of Mr.. Cooper have assid-
uously sent it abroad that Governor
Manning has lost popularity The
State has no information about them
but it risks nothing in asserting that,
so far as Mr. Cooper Is concerned, his
methods will be manly and clean and
that he has said nothing about
Governor Manning that he would not
say in public. Furthermore, The

before entertaining for a moment be-
