show nor tell a pupil anything that
the pupil can get by his own efforts.
Some children are not so far below

Mr., COOPER ENTERS
GOVERNORS RACE
MAKES ANNOUNCEMENT AFTER
CONFERENCE WITH FRIENDS
IN GREENWOOD.

Greenwood, March Especial: :
The Hon. Robert A. Cooper, of Lau-
rens, announced here tonight that
he would be a candidate for Cover
nor in the Democratic primary this
summer. Mr.. Cooper's announce
ment was made after a conference
with friends from many sections of
the State, who had come to Green
wood for the purpose of considering
his duty in the coming campaign. Mr.
Cooper has been here all the week
attending court as solicitor for this
circuit, and Greenwood is easily ac-
cessible, hence its selection as a
meeting place for his friends.
In making the announcement Mr..
Cooper stated that his platform
would be given in due time. Those
close to Mr. Cooper say that he makes
the announcement now so that his
position will be known. He has
been urged, it is claimed, by men in
all sections of the State for the past
six months to offer as candidate for
Governor this summer. Although
missing the nomination for Governor
two years ago by very close margin,
around two hundred votes, it was
not Mr.. Cooper's intention to thrust
himself into the political situation in
South Carolina this year. He at
first declined all suggestions to this
effect, but it is said that the requests
for him to offer as a candidate have
become so frequent and so insistent
that he feels it duty to yield to the
Judgment of his friends in this mat
ter. 1t is stated that he has never
sought public Office on anything other
than his own merit and does not in
tend to deviate from this principle
now.

Will Support Manning.

Columbia, March ESPECIAL: John
G. Clinkscales, of Spartanburg, over
the long distance telephone tonight
from his home, announced that he
would support Governor Manning for
reelection when asked if he intended
running for Governor. Mr.. Clink-
scales said: 81 am not a candidate
for Governor. The administration Of
Governor Manning has my full en-
dorsement and I am with him in his
race for reelection. He stands for
education and for law and order, and
deserves the support of the loyal
Democrats of South Carolina. shall
support him with all my might"

"a government has no control.
The following statement was issued
at the White House:
can adequate force will be sent at
once in pursuit of Villa with the sim
gle object of capturing him and put
ting a stop to his forays.
"This can be done and will be done
in entirely friendly aid of the con-
stituted authorities in Mexico and
with scrupulous respect for the SOW
ereignty of that republic"
1t was explained at the White
House that the American government
wants Villa dead or alive and that
no steps will be neglected to carry
out that object.
1t was declared, however, that the
United States will not consider the
expedition as an invasion of Mexico
and will continue to deal with the
Carranza government. The Ameri-
can government is still opposed to
armed intervention, but has decided,
that the peace of Mexico and the
United States is imperilled by the
continued activities of Villa.
The cabinet was unanimous in de-
Gliding that Villa must be caught.
Secretary Baker left the White
House to confer with Major General
Hugh L. Scott, chief of staff, and
other army officers to decide just how
many troops would be needed to fol-
low Villa.
1t was said that the pursuit of Viii
la will be undertaken in compre-
hensive way and organized plans will
be laid for his capture.
Officials received the word with
undisguised satisfaction. Cabinet
members expressed themselves as
greatly pleased. Army officers voic-
ed unanimous approval. A general
feeling of relief that the administra-
ton had finally decided to take the
step was apparent.
The president himself is firmly con-
vinced of the necessity of eliminating
Villa from the Mexican situation.
He is represented as just as deter
mined to get rid of Villa as he was
to oust Huerta.
The announcement of the inten-
ton of the president to send troops
into Mexico was accompanied by
scenes not equalled at the White
House since the determination to
send the Atlantic fleet to Vera Cruz
in 1914.
Pains were taken by officials to
point out their hope that Gen. Car
rama would realize the spirit in
which the American troops were be-
ing sent after Villa.
Carranza will be notified immedi-
ately that the United States has no
intention of taking any Mexican ter
ritory whatever and respects fully
the sovereignty of that nation.
