C. CLINKSCALES:

DR.. Jno. G. Clinkscales, former
candidate for Governor of South
Carolina and professor at Wofford
College, says:
"My regular summer work for
Wofford College in particular, and
fer education in general, has taken
me over many counties, and feel
quite sure, after watching closely
the trend of things, that Governor
Manning will succeed himself. In
my judgment the Governor is gain
ing ground every day. The open,
manly, straight way in which he
has met his opponents and his per-
sistent fight all along for good,
clean government are gripping the
attention of the people as the cleo
ton day approaches.
"Many good men who would per-
sonally prefer n of the other can
didates are beginning to feel as does
DR.. Mccain; that to vote at this
time for any other would be evil
dence of a failure TO appreciate an
honest effort on the part of the
chief executive to give South Caro-
lima clean government.
Il am glad to find, too, that the
people will allow no more ellmina-
ton, such as we had two years ago.
Every tub must stand on its own
bottom they say.
Governor Manning has had no
easy task. His has not heen a bed
of roses. In ~discharging his duty
he has necessarily offended many
people. That was to be expected.
He has done we'll, and ! believe the
people will give him a second term
as governor, as he deserves"

The report made by the grand
jury last week at the August term
of court is given in full on page
two of this issue. Read every word
of it.
Mr.. E. S. Rives announces in his
advertisement this week that his
first shipment of ladies' coat suits
have arrived and will be displayed
August %. The ladies are invited
to see them.
DR.. and Mrs. Oscar LaBorde of
Columbia are spending this week
with Mrs. LaBorde's parents, Mr..
and Mrs. w. L. Dunovant. DR..
and Mrs. LaBorde and Mrs. Dunno
want motored to Augusta Tuesday.
Rev. and Mrs. T.. P. Burgess are
here visiting friends. They have
been very cordially greeted. Edge
field has never had a minister who
was more beloved than a Mr..
Burgess when he served the Presby-
terrain church~at this place. They
are now making their home in
Crawfordville, Ga.
The friends of Mr.. and Mrs. S.
3. Nicholson are delighted that they
have returned from Georgetown to

They have been very cordially greet
ed on every hand. AS their home
and farm are rented for this year,
they will occupy the attractive new
cottage of Mr.. j. r. Scurry on
Jeter street for tie present.
No better record could be made
than that made by the county treas
urer, James T.. Minis. When his
office was checked up a short time
ago his books showed hal the sun
of $4,000 has passed through
his hands during the past year and
his books were out of a balance on
ly 8 cents, and that difference was
in his favor. A better record could
not be possible.
After the criminal court adjourn
ed last week Judge DeNore passed
on a number of civil cases, among
them being a claim which was
made against the county by MIR.
J. IL. Wright for $500 for dam.
ages alleged to have been sustained
through a defective bridge. The
claim was refused by the county
board of commissioners and an APP
peal was made to the circuit court.
Judge DeVore sustained the board
in rejecting the claim.

D.A. GEER:

D. A. Geer, a large farmer and
merchant of Bolton, says:
Being in intimate touch with the
political situation in the Piedmont, l
firmly believe that Governor Man
ning's strength in this section of the
State is growing daily regardless of
wild claims to the contrary. At no
time has his chance for reelection
been brighter. Should he not be
nominated in the first primary over
all his competitors, l am satisfied
that he will repeat his splendid vic
tory of two years ago when he de-
feated Mr.. Richards, by an over-
whelmiug majority, in the second
primary. So far as my own county,
Anderson, is concerned, / believe he
will run a strong second in the first
primary. The other Piedmont coun-
ties will give him a surprisingly
large vote, and l am satisfied that
those persons now claiming that
Governor Manning is weak in the
Piedmont will be greatly surprised
at his strength when the vote is
counted. Why shouldn't he run
strong in the Piedmont? He has
certainly proven himself worthy.
Governor Manning's hard but.
%unceasing fight for law and order
and his success in restoring conf
dence in the forces making for
civic righteousness in South Caro-
lima, his earnest advocacy of social
and industrial justice, his success
full efforts for better educational
facilities for the white boys and
girls of the State, the economic
measures passed under his admins
tration for improving the conditions
surrounding our rural population,
and the reorganization of the State
Hospital for the Insane, with its
modern, improved methods of treat
ment for the unfortunate inmates
and the large saving in dollars and
cents as a result of the economies
practiced there by the new admins
tration, have caused me to give my
undivided support to Governor Man.
ming. l believe that the majority
of the people of South Carolina
agree with me that his progressive
administration should be continued
so that the great work that he has
so well begun for law, order edu-
cation, and humanity shall be car
ried forward by him to q successful
conclusion"

R. Goodwin Rhett of Charleston,
President of Chamber of Commerce
of United States, says:
Il am glad to say that Governor
Manning ought to be extremely
gratifed at the splendid reception
given him here, and is to be con-
graduated upon the fine address he
made. l think the people of the
State realize that he has fulfilled
his promises to an unusual degree,
and therefore those who voted for
him two years ago because of these
promises ought to be-and l believe
with few exceptions are-immensely
gratifed, and will use every effort
to see that his work is Endorsed and
acknowledged, and that he be given
an opportunity of doing still more
for the people of the State. think
each day he is growing stronger in
the regard, esteem and affection of
the public"
Mr.. Rhett is one of the best known
business men in South Carolina. In
addition to his other connections he
is President of the United States
Chamber of Commerce. Mr.. Rhett
has travelled extensively over the

him is significant and indicates the
great strength of Governor Manning

Thomas F. Mellow, a prominent
attorney of York, says:

Thomas F. Mellow, a prominent
attorney of York, says:
II am supporting Governor Man
ming for reelection:
Because he is a nan of ability,
purity of character and a patriot
who is devoted to the best interests
of South Carolina.
because he has been strong
enough to advocate measures in the
interest of the masses of the people
against the powerful protest of
former friends of wealth, power
and influence.
because on all occasions and
everywhere he has conducted him
self so as to reflect credit upon the
high Office to which the people of
South Carolina have elected him.
because during his administra-
ton there has been no unSeemly
quarrel between the Governor and
the General Assembly and the Gov
ernor and the Judiciary. He has
received the respect of every de-
partment of government and has
treated the other departments of
government with that respect and
courtesy to which they are entitled
from the Executive.
because, in my opinion, he has
made one of the best governors the
State has had since 1876, and on his
merits and by established custom he
is entitled to a second term.
"For these reasons l am support
ing Governor Manning, notwith-
standing the fact that personally /
have the highest respect and regard
for Mr.. Cooper"
