Richard l. Manning, the governor
will be elected on the first ballot by a
large majority. If every man who
believes that Governor Manning has
made a conscientious effort to enforce
the laws votes for him, we have ev-
cry reason to believe that the COVER
nor will be renominated on the first
ballot. The prospect Of the COVER
nor's reelection is brighter now than
it has been at any time during the
campaign, and if the people do their
duty to the State we believe that
there will be no doubt whatever that
Manning will be elected. The voters
should now stand by the governor.
The issue is squarely whether the
people want law and order or not.
You cannot dodge the issue. Wheth-
er you wish it to be so or not, vote
against Manning is vote against the
things that Manning stands fort
cannot be construed any other way.
We cannot believe that the people OF
South Carolina stand ready to repu-
diate law enforcement and repudiate
good government.

Curious Things.

: Uncle Sans postal rates are curl
Gus things. The other day pack
age was sent to the postoffice weigh
ing three pounds and fifteen ounces
and the clerk quoted a rate of thir-
ty-one cents on it, saying at the time
that if the package weighed four
pounds it would go for nine cents.
Thereupon the Advertiser man pick
ed up a string from the floor and ask
ed that it be weighed and was told
that it weighed two ounces. He then
tied the string around the package
and had it all sent for nine cents.
The two ounces of string, then re-
duced the expense of shipment TWEEN
ty-two cents, making the value OF
the string eleven cents per ounce
That's rather high for strings, even
in this time of high prices, but, as al
ready said, Uncle Sans postal rates
are curious things.-Laurens Adver-
tiser.

Circumstances Alter Cases.

Pat Classify purchased a new au-
tomobile, and while still inexperi-
enced in the handling Of it he drove
down one of the crowded thorough
fares of the city, relates the Chicago
Journal. Coming to crossing where
traffic was held up he lost control OF
the car and ran squarely into a hand
some limousine. The crowd which
gathered found the situation anus
ing, and to add to Pats discontinue
the crossing policeman, a big Irish
man, commenced to berate him.
'Since when did you learn to
droive a carr" demanded the Officer
"What's yer name?"
"Classidy," answered Pat.
"So?" said the policeman interest
edly. "And where are you from?'
County Clare,'' said Pat.
"Say," said the cop, chow the div
vii did that fellow back into you?'

A Pyrrhic Victory.

When Pyrrhus, king of Eplrus,
with about $4,000 miscellaneous
troops, had whipped the Roman
dictionaries under Laevinus, terror
izing them with his elephants be-
cause they had never seen the beasts
before, he was congratulated by a
courtier, and his answer made the
phrase "a Pyrrhic Victory part
of human languages:
Zone more such victory, and Pyr-
rhus is undone.'
!. After the battle of Heraclea his
fall was fast. Three years after that
he lost almost his whole army at
Beneventum. A year or two later ne
was hit by a tile thrown at him. at
Argos, and stabbed to death while
unconscious. He was Brilliant mill
tarist, with lots of efficiency. He did
not know all his limitations, how
ever, and he was too much inclined
to underrate the resources of the
enemy.
The German sea victory in the
North sea is distinctly one OF the
Pyrrhic sort. The percentage OF loss
to the German navy is much the
greater. Essential conditions are not
changed. Half dozen such trlumphs
would leave Germany no navy at all
and England would still have good
fighting force. We are offering nc
congratulations to kaiserdom.-

AND EVERY ONE PRAYED.
Terrible Suspense as Train Crossed
River.

Here is pathetic story. MIR. G. W.
Conner, whose home is at Bat Cave,
n. c., but who is at present in this
city perfecting certain patents at the
Anderson Machine and Foundry COM
pany, has just received a card from
his wife at Bat Cave which says: 1--WE
are all still living, but our house and
everything is washed away. The
stock is still living. Twenty houses,
barns and stores washed away and
nine people drowned that we know
of. Pray for us. Stay where you
are until water gers down.
Bat Cave is a little mountain town
about sixteen miles east from Hen
dersonville, and is situated on the
headwaters of Broad river and was
in the path of the storm and flood.
This is one out of probably a great
many cards and letters telling OF
death and destruction and suffering
in many places as a result OF the
most unusual storm happening with
in the memory of the people, especial
ly in the mountain sections.
In this connection it might be re-
lated that, when the last passenger
train passed over Catawba river
eighteen coaches loaded with people
coming South-the water was with
in about eighteen inches of the rail.
A lady whose home is in Anderson
was a passenger on this train.. She
states that one could look out of the
window and see the angry flood
spreading for miles. Drift wood and
uprooted trees were being Whirled
toward the track. The train was
creeping, feeling it's way across the
angry, muddy waters. To the pas
sengers the minutes passed as slowly
as hours. The suspense was terrible
Few expected to reach the opposite
bank safely. Death seemed inevita-
BILE. This lady says she prayed fer
vently but inaudibly, but that very
many prayed aloud and many were
in tears. The opposite bank was
reached in safety, but these passen-
gers had been brought face to face
with a plunge into eternity, and ev-
cry one of them resorted to prayer

It is not a question of why you
should " ote for Manning, but quesS-
ton of why should you not vote for
him. Manning has made good; Man
ming has served but two years. II
he has made good, he is entitled to
the usual second term. But there is
a duty more binding on the voters
than merely giving Manning what is
Justly due him. 1t is the duty OF
the people to say whether or not this
State, which for the previous four
years had been buried in disrepute
and political demagoguery, shall re-
tain the place won only by a hard
fight two years ago. We know what
Manning will do if he is reelected; ;
we know what Blease will do if he
is elected. Gentlemen of the ballot,
do your duty, and there will be not a
particle of doubt about the result.

Next year the first installment Of
the SIS, 100000 of federal funds will
be available to the various States for
permanent road improvement. This
State will be entitled to receive about
$1,000 the first year, provided a
like sum is appropriated by the State.
The roads so built will be construct
ed under the supervision of a govern
ment engineer and will be permanent
in character. We have not made a
study of the good roads law, but we
trust that some of our legislators\are
now working out plan whereby this
State will be enabled to secure these
funds. The amount the first year is
rather small, but the fund grows
year by year, until total of seventy
five millions will be expended by the
federal government, which means
that within the next few years there
will be a hundred and fifty millions
spent on permanent road improve
ment throughout the country. And
this is only the beginning, we are as
sured. By all means, South Carolina
must be in readiness to secure its
quota of this money. A State road
commission must be created, and GER
tain other conditions must be com.
piled with.

The most conspicuous thing about
the county campaign meetings so fa1
has been the absence Of any excite
ment or even enthusiasm. The peo'
pie are evidently thinking this year
and we believe that good men run
ming for Office have a far better
chance of election under these condi'
tions than if there were great fuss
and much excitement. In fact, We
think this is bad year for the pro,
fessional politician both in the coun'
ty and in the State. In our opinion
the people will go to the polls quiet
ly and vote as their better sense tells
them it is their duty to do.

Buy Implements Now.

Some weeks ago the Extensio n Division of the Arkansas Agri- culture College and U. s. De- partment of Agriculture urged farmers to buy implements, as the prices would very likely be raised very soon. At that time there had been a general order for a 10 per cent increase and since that time an addition in- crease in price has been ordered by the manufacturers and job bers. In all probability there will be another increase in cer- tain farm tools on or before the first of January and farmers who will need, next spring, disc harrows. corn planters, blows and other such tools will prob- ably save some money by buy ing now.

Visits Scene of
 Brutal Murder

Elder w. A. Barham returned Sunday night from the northern part of the state and southern part of Missouri where he had been for several days visiting and attending the Northwestern Baptist Association at Rogers. While in the northern part of the state Elder Barham says he went down to Zinc and saw the grave of a cousin of his, Miss Ella Barham, who was brutahy murdered some four years ago near that place. He also saw where the murder was commit ted. It will be remembered that in 1912 Miss Ella Barham was murdered near her home in that locality and her body found baGly mutilated with an ax in the woods nearby. Suspicion pointed to a rejected lover who had avowed his intentions of getting even" the crime was fastened upon h m being proven beyond a doubt and he was sentenced to hang. It is thought that others were impli- cated in the murder but no others have ever been appre- hended.

Open Season for Mi gratory Birds Begins
 First of October

The open season for -migra- tory birds will begin October l and continue until January 16, according to Lee Miles, secre- tary of the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission. Federal laws regulate the season for these birds and no state laws regard ing them are in force. MT. Miles intends to submit to the next legislature, a bill defending the season for migratory birds and limiting the nnmber that may be killed by each person.
 State laws, however, prohibit hunting on the waters of the state between sunset and sum- rise. The bag limit for ducks is 25 per hunter in one day. It is contrary to law to sell or ship ducks, geese or other game.
 The open season for quail is from December 1 to February l, with bag limit of 15 per day. The season for turkey, bear and deer is from November 10 to January 10. The bag limit for the season is two deer, four turkeys and one bear. Beaver and otter cannot be killed for five years.
 The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission issues hunting and fishing licenses as follows: Li- cense for artificial bait fishing for entire year, $1; for market fishing, with the exception of closed season from March 1st to June 18th, $25; for trapping fur- bearing animals during the en- tire year, using more than 10 traps, $l0; for hunting, chasing or assisting in hunting deer, $1. License for dogs hunting quail, S1. Turkey gobblers may be hunted from April 15 to May 31.

Gas We'll is Put Out.

 The fire was put out by plac- ing over the well a large iron hood, to the top of which was connected an ell-shaped pipe ex- tension, which jutted horizontal ly for about 160 feet. The flames, as they were conducted through the pipe, were extin- guished for lack of oxygen.

NINETY-ONE |NDICT. ED UNDER STATE
 ANTI-TICK MEASURE
Judge Cochran Holds L a W Constitutional nd Says
 Should be Enforced.

Ninety-one farmers, indicted for violating the anti-tick law by refusing to dip their cattle, last week were arraigned in circuit court at Bonneville but after Judge James Cochran told them emphatically that the law was constitutional and would be en- forced, every man voluntarily promised to dip his cattle. Judge Cochran continued the cases un- til October, and it is believed the indictments will be dismissed if the farmers keep their promises.
 James Davis was convicted of failing to dip his cattle and was fined $25 and costs. A contempt case, the result of his refusal to allow the sheriff to dip his cattle upon a court order is pending.
 The arraignment of the 91 farmers followed Davis convic- tion. Judge Cochran upheld the constitunality of the law, which was attacked in the Davis case. It is believed now that opposition to the law will disappear. Paris Progress.

LITTLE ROCKFORD SMITH ROAD PROJECT
 AGAIN TO FRONT
Interest Renewed and Move ment Started to Insure
 Cross-State Highway.

A dispatch from Russellville says that a movement has been started in that city and other cities on the Little Rock and Fort Smith railroad to revive the Lj tile Rock-Fort Smith ma- cadam highway project. The most feasible plan suggested is to perfect county organizations and elect delegates to a conven- tion of the counties on the route: Pulaski, Faulkner, Conway, Pope, Johnson, Franklin n d Crawford, and appoint a legisla- tive committee to secure the pas- sage by the legislature of a bill which would enable the district to receive part of the appor- tionment for Arkansas of the federal a i'd. This road would connect with the Little Rock Memphis highway, now practi- cally completed, and be the first cross-state macadam roadway in Arkansas.
