John G.. CL1NKSCALES

Dr. John G. Clinkscales, former
candidate for Governor of South
Canolina and professor at Wofford
College, says:
"My regular summer work for
'Woford College in particular, and
for 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 persistent
fight all along for good, clean gov
ernment are gripping the attention
of the people ;as the election day ap-
pr0aches.
Many good men who would per-
aonally prefer one Of the other can
didates are beginning to feel as does
DR.. Mccain; that to vote at this
time for any other would be evidence
of a failure to appreciate an honest
effort on the part of the chief exeeu-
tive to give South Carolina clean
government.
II am glad to find, too, that the
people will allow no more elimina-
tion, such as we had two years ago.
Every tub must stand on it's own
bottom, they say.
Governor Manning has had no
easy task, His has not been bed
Of roses. In discharging his duty he
has necessarily offended many peo.
pie. That was to BE expected. He
has done well, and believe the pa0s
pie will give him second term as
governor, as he deserves. 4.

Are You for Good Government?
The Piedmont.

Thomas F. Mellow, prominent
attorney of York, says:
II am supporting Governor Man
ming for reelection:
Because he is man 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-
tion there has been no ,unseemly
quarrel between the Governor and
the General assembly and the Gov
Eefhor 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 second term.
Z "For these reasons am support
ing Governor Manning, notwith-
standing the fact that personally /
have the highest respect and regard
for Mr.. Cooper

IS UNCALLED FOR 1 AND IS ALARMING III Conditions of City Life
 That Science Is Now Combating

Strenuous efforts are being made in cities throughout America to conserve human life. An analysis of living condi- tions show that fully 50 per cent of city people suffer with digestive disturbances and nearly as great a number with faulty nerves.
 Blame is largely due to people them- selves. One of the surprises is so many will go through life fettered to these arch enemies. dyspepsia and neurasthenia or nerves, and make only feeble efforts to free themselves Now and then they will take pellets or dopes for temporary relief. Eventually they become convinced that dyspepsia or nervousness are their personal characteristics and are crosses nature intended them to bear. Such ills are uncaled for, unnatural and they shorten life,.. Every sufferer should make 1t his business to become free of these sccurges. Natural methods are the best to pursues and natural Vitalitas offers a quick, effective and not unpleasant way. This remarkable product is bringing a new health era throughout American cities. It is becoming recognized as natures best tonic and general corrective. Vitalitas not only gives relief, but brings permanent cure for indigestion, rheu- matism, liver, kidney and blood ills. You can get Vitalitas at Averyts drug store, 109-111 Twentieth street, CT Pegram-Pat- ton Drug company, at Bessemer, and all other druggists.-Adv.

his diploma Previous to this he had been such signed his own diploma. He thus became one of the business managers of that school. His record from this date is an open book. It was of his struggles to acquire an education, I wish to speak, and support himself and family while in school He worked every spare moment at any kind of work he could find to do half-soled and mended shoes at night helped the farmers in the neighborhood build their houses, cribs, etc., and even to top the trees of the church and school lot for wood to burn. His was a life of labor from the beginning. He entered the Confederate army when but a boy, and was surrendered near Mobile in 1865. So he was a Confederate veteran.
 Following his example, many young men came out from their homes kept batch, doing their own cooking and wash ing, and work Saturday for something to eat, and few married men with their children attended this school and ac- quired education enough to enable them to make good and useful business men. Tn the death of Brother Hosmer, Pleasant Hill and the writer have lost one of the best friends, the Methodist church one of her best and most useful preachers, and the state and country one of the very best and most loyal citizens.

New Haven Directors Suffered Both in Health and Business by En- forced Attendance at Court
 for Three Months
By HOLLAND

New York January 12.-(Special)-A few days ago, the Chamber of Commerce of the United States published sort of object lesson map for the purpose of showing by a single glance of the eye what the business conditions in the United States now are. This map has been studied with much interest by some of those who are observing business con- ditions and they say that it discloses some extra aordinary features. It looks like piece of patchwork, because those sections of the country where business conditions are good are indicated by white coloring, while those sections of the country where business conditions are fair are suggested by means of diagonal parallel lines which thereby shade off the district from those whose conditions are suggested by white coloring.
 Apparently it was thought that there might be some sections of the country where business conditions are bad and

WHAT IT COST THEM

The trial of the II directors of the New Haven railroad upon the accusation of criminal misdemeanor in conspring to obtain monopoly of railroad transporta- = tion in New England has been a very ex- pensive judicial proceeding both for the government and for the directors. For one thing, it nearly caused one or two tragedies, due to the foul atmosphere of the courtroom. Two or three of the coun- sel were seriously ill with grip. one dan gerously Several of the directors were compelled by the grip infection to re- main away from the courtroom
 The personal expenses of these direc- tors, including counsel fees and a large amount of clerical and stenographic work, have been heavy, but it is not tha t which gave them so much concern as was the fact that some of them suffered inn pairment to their business by reason of their enforced attendance at court for about three months. One of these direc- tors IS pre-eminent in one of the indus tries upon which great demands have been made by nations across the sea. It was a time when there was a special need for his presence in the office of his company. But he was compelled to dele gate his responsibilities to another being always concerned lest these responsibili- ties be not fully met. Some of the di rectors were not thus embarrassed for they have retired from business life. but others say that the actual cost for which payment must be made in money is not to be compared with the embarra ssments which they met with in the conduct of their large business affairs due to their enforced presence in court.

THE STORY OF CORN

Frank A. Vanderlip is reported recently to have spoken of the corn harvest of this year as not equal to the estimate made by the government authorities. He is in- clined to think that instead of the second best record the harvest may prove to be smaller than has been the case for sev- eral years.
 In the autumn, the ninth federal re- serve district, of which Minneapolis is the center, sent information to the east that much of the corn harvest of the north west was likely to be disappointing. That forecast proved to be accurate and now that we have fairly authentic data it is known that had it not been for the un- precedented harvest of Indian corn in the south it might have been necessary to report the corn harvest as almost a failure.
 But if anyone talks with the experts at the Produce exchange he will learn that they take the view that the ideal har- vest of the year will be that one in which 1t is possible to report that all the grain harvests of the United States, in all sec tons, have been up to standard. That is regarded, however, as almost impossible for this country to secure, for the reason that the United States extends from ocean to ocean, is almost continental so that all varieties of climate from the subtropic to the subarctic are to be IecAoneu With when our harVeStS are under consideration. Experts say that it is almost inconceivable that nation possessing so vast an agricultural area should enjoy the same average climatic conditions. The accuracy of this view is Justified the experts say, by the report of the corn harvest of this year. In some large sections of the country the climate was especially suspicious, but in the northwest it was far from satisfactory
  essary to report great falling off in the ha
