MANNING AND BLEASE.
Only Two Candidates to Be Consider
ed, Says B. Frank Mcleod.

ed, Says B. Frank Mcleod.
Charleston, August 3.-"Because
of the sharply drawn lines, definite
and unequivocal, on public questions
stirring the State of South Carolina
today, believe that only two candi-
dates for governor-the incumbent,
Richard l. Manning, and Cole L.
Blease- to be considered,' said
B. Frank Mcleod, president of the
Charleston Chamber of Commerce,
today.
Particularly is this so in the low
country" continued the Charleston
business man, where the people con-
slider that neutral position is not
the proper attitude to take towards
great and growing questions of the
hour, questions that are constantly
finding reiteration in the minds of
South Carolinians. Manning and
Blease have come out boldly and en-
phatically on pointedly cleaved is
sues, and they are the ones that are
being given grave consideration in
the coming primary. Being in daily
intimate touch with Charleston coun-
ty 1 am satisfied that Governor Man
ming will receive the perponderating
consideration of the anti-Blease SEN,
timent at the polls; and being famil-
lar with the political sentiment in
other parts of the loW-country I am
satisfied that the Sumter candidate
will receive enough votes in this Sec
tion to give him a majority in the
first primary over the four other
gubernatorial candidates-if not
majority, then tremendous plurali-
ty. l make this statement after care
full consideration and close scruti-
ny of this section of the State.'
Mr.. Mcleod said that he is firmly
of the belief that the people of South
Carolina want all the laws of the
State enforced impartially, and that,
in this respect, the people have con-
fdence in Governor Manning for the
splendid success that he has made
in the enforcement of the law and
the maintaining of order throughout
the commonwealth.
Further, l am of the unqualified
opinion,' continued Mr.. Mcleod,
''that the people believe in the pro-,
motion of education in the public:
schools; believe that the officials
! should do all in their power to see
that the laboring man gets square
, deal;' believe that every comfort pos
sible and tender care should be given
the unfortunate patients in the State
Hospital for the Insane; believe that
the verdicts of the juries and the de-
crees of the courts should be respect
,, ed; believe that agriculture should
be taught in the common schools;
and believing these things and hav-
ing the knowledge that Governor
Manning stands for all these views,
they are going to support him at the
! polls and stamp their approval on
his administration by reelecting him
for a second term.
Expressions like those from the
president of the Charleston Chamber
of Commerce are being voiced in
every section of the low country and
the popularity Of Gov. Manning is
constantly increasing and many who
have not supported him are coming
over to his side-knowing that he
stands for concrete issues and will
! be answering in the fulfllment of
| his pledges.

FRENCH NAVY'S TASK
Plays Triple Role Calling for Great
Endurance.

While the British Armada was
tackling German sea power the French
navy was, besides the protection OF
her own coasts. assigned three dis
tinct tasks, says "The Army and Navy
Journal" viz, the blOckading of the
Austrian battle force, the fight against
the submarine menace and the defence
of conveys against hostile attacks on
the long and vulnerable Mediterranean
routes. Few dramatic encounters. but,
on the other hand, a tremendous call
on the endurance of ships and men. In
the discharge Of her manifold duties
the French armee navale has done
more steaming than any other belli.
gerent battle force, partly owing to
the lack of conveniently situated bases
and of modern scouts. The obstacles
in her way have gone down one after
the other, and. despite the enterprise
of the enemy, the French Admiralty
may be said to have mastered the stu.
alton in the Middle Sea. The highly
efficient Austrian battle squadron only
needed taste of French gunnery and
the loss of the cruiser Zento TO give up
all idea of trial OF strength on the
high sea. Even since the Italian inter
vention the republican fleet at Corfu
remains the chief Allied argument
that keeps Austrian dreadnoughts in
harbor. preiudiced Vienna experts
never having acknowledged the real
mo ,sfl
ing of the fine Dorias has conferred on
Italy To the submarine danger
France has with success opposed her
numerous hotillas of destroyers, tor.
pillerus and chalutiers (steam trawl.
ers), together with the occupation OF
Greek points dappui. The transport
of troops and materlel has been car,
ried out on the largest scale In the
Mediterranean and with safety.
