Sees ManniRg's Defeat?

An interesting situation is de-
Seloping itself in the politics of
South Carolina just now. Chief
interest centers in the race for
governor and speculation as to
probable candidates is rife. Will
Blease run? Will Cooper run?
Will Manning run? And if only
two of these enter the race to
whom will the support of the
other go? If all three enter one
will of course be eliminated and
and second primary between
the other two will be necessary.
TO whom will the licked mans
support go in the second race? ?
These are interesting questions,
pregnant with miles and miles
and hours and hours of argu-
nent that circles the same old
wall at the end. If Blease runs
against only Manning the lires
will be clearly drawn. If
Cooper also enters the race he
will divide Manning's vote, but
will not detract much from
Blease's. But whoever the
entrees, Manning is going to be
the man they will fight hardest,
and is it not entirely probable
that in the second primary the
forces of the other candidates
will unite against him and elect
his opponent? Anyway the
situation is viewed it looks to us
up here like they bout had the
present governors goat. Wax

Note and Comment.

The proposed law to do away
with the paying of a fine and
providing a three-months' road
term for dealers in whiskey will,
to our way of thinking, prove a
hindrance rather than a help in
enforcing the prohibition law.
The average man who buys a
pint or quart of whiskey from a
tiger feels in his own mind that
he is equally as guilty as the
seller land he is. in a sense) and
in court he will give the tiger all
the protection possible, knowing
that his evidence means either
acquittal or a road term for the
accused. Some people think lie
is excusable in certain instances.
and should this road-term law
become effective, we suspect that
a large majority of the witnesses
in whiskey cases would view the
matter in this light.

Births Far Exceed Deaths.

According to figures just made
public by j. A. Tate, clerk of
court, the deaths in York county
during 1915 hardly more than
half totalled the number of
births. Exact figures furnished
the clerk by the various town.
ship registrars show that there
were 1,203 births and 661 deaths
for the IL months ending with
December 81. Not a single
township in the county had a
greater number of deaths than
births.

Things You Don't Know.

We of today often admire the
knowledge displayed by our
friends and our neighbors, and
occasionally we may entertain a
slight conception of that which
we ourselves possess. But we
are not prone to speak of or to
admit of those things that we
don't know.
Por instance-you don't know
when the war will end. You
don't know which side will be
the victors. You don't know
what conditions will prevail in
Europe after it is ended. You
may surmise, but you don't
know. You don't know what
effect it will have on this coun-
try when Europe gets down to
business again. You don't know
whether the end of this war will
mark the beginning of a world
peace, or whether it is but the
forerunner of a greater and
more devastating conflict which
will be waged between the old
world and the new-between a
combination of European nations
on the one side, and North,
Central and South America on
the other. You don't know, in
the event of such a war. whether
the Americans would continue
to be free and self-governed
countries. or whether they would
become mere overseas possessions
of the kings and emperors of
the old world. You may poo hoo
and swell out your chest, and
let the eagle scream, but you
don't know. You don't know
what congress will do in the
natter of preparedness for this
country. You don't know
whether it will do anything at
all or not for, truth to tell,
congress is all muddled up and
don't know itself, for it don't
know what you think or what
you know. Fact is, brother,
we don't imagine any of us
know much of anything about
this phase of our national ex-
istence, for we have been too
busy grubbing for dollars to give
much heed to the present or
future welfare of our country.
And, too, we don't know what
the penalty of our indifference
and neglect is going to be.
Now do we?
