He deser,es to be our next gov
ernor and I feel that Darlington and
the Pee Dee section will do their
part to reelect him." said David r.
Coker Of Hartsville yesterday. in dis
cussing the prospects for the reelec-
ton Of Gov. Manning. MANY who
voted for other candidates two years
ago feel that they should show their
approval of Gov. Manning's admins
tration and their gratitude to him
for his progressive, humane and bus
iness-like course as governor"
Mr.. Coker- two years ago gave his
support to Mr.. Cooper in order to de-
feat Mr.. Richards. The work of Mr..
Coker at that time was largely re-
sponsible for the large vote polled by
Mr.. Cooper in the Pee Dee section.
He speaks enthusiastically at this
time in reference to the reelection of
Gov. Manning. His statement to the
press follows in full:
After talking with many repre-
sentative men during the last ten
days, I am convinced that Richard I
Manning will get big vote from
Darlington county in the first pri-
mary-possibly a majority of the
total vote. Many who voted for other
candidates two years ago feel that
they ought to show their approval of
Mr.. Mannings administration and
their gratitude for his progressive.
humane and business-like course as
governor.
Mr.. Manning not only promised
to check blind tigerism, race track
gambling and general lawlessness. but
has demonstrated his ability to do
so. He not only deplored the lack
of law enforcement and the contempt
for law which was prevalent, but has
shown that he can enforce the law
and command respect for it. He not
only expressed his sympathy for the
tUnfoitunate sinsasfe but has reof1aH-
lied the institution for their care ana
placed it on a par with the best OF
its kind. His administration has
been efficient, economical and clean.
He deserves to be our next governor
and I feel that Darlington county
and the Pee Dee section will do their
part to reelect him."
Mr.. Coker is a business man and
farmer of large acquaintance
throughout the State, and any state
ment he makes on the political situa-
ton carries considerable weight.

clared that sectiOnalism was rampant
In congress and that only Southern

When 1t was first announced that
Mr.. Huhges had said that the South
was hogging everything worth having
In congress, many Of the congress

Clarke of Florida said there was not

would cost only about $500.
The construction OF such an amphl.

The presentation Of a sacred musicai

tion to the festivals OF music and drama

Saul Of Tarsus, tc the greatness OF
Paurs ministry in the name OF Jesus.
The selection of one Of the two grent

the Metropolitan last March. The ques-
ton came by wny Of an opera-ballct or
the Russian Stravlnsk!.
"Will Strayinsky lead us back to
Bellini?" asks Mr.. Sanborn. He con-
tinues: THAT thought came to me as
j listened to La Sonnambula. Dcbussy
and stravinsky are both liberators.
They are freeing music from the tyran-
nv of noise. Debussy, In "Pelleas and
