WILSON STOCK ADVANCING.
Trouble In Mexico Greatly Aids the
Presidents Chances of Re- rejection.
Anti-preparedness People Seem to
Have Lost Their Grip Democrats
Getting Together Again.
BY ARTHUR w. DUNN.

Washington, March 31.-[special.l-
Republicans who make keynote
speeches" had better look out or they
and nominated for president. Elihu
Root was almost smothered with y
nominations after his keynote speech
to the Republican convention In New
York. Henry Cabot Lodge made a
keynote speech In Massachusetts, and
at once he was put forward. giving the
old Bay State three possibilities IN the
convention.
Perhaps Senator Borah Of Idaho In
tends to make a keynote speech, but
he has taken time by the forelock and
has asserted that he Is not a candi-
date. Borah has never had any illu-
sions on this subject and has known
from the first that he would stand no
show In the convention.
Encourages Republicans.
The activity of those who are pro-
noting different Republican booms has
been quite encouraging to the party,
although it Is realized that the recent
turn of affairs In Mexico has greatly
aided the chances of President Wilson.
The effects have been seen here In
Washington more than anywhere else.
In the first place, the anti-prepared-
ness people seem to have lost their
grip and have not been at all effective.
Then the various bills which the pres
ident wants have been pushed along
with more expedition.
But more important than all has been
q seeming desire of the Democrats to
get together with the hope of winning
two presidential elections I'm succession.
AS an offset the Republicans are en-
didates for the nomination. They be-
lieve that 1t must mean the possibility
OF success when SO many men would
like to try for the prize.
In the Matter Of Time.
Collier of Mississippi was having a
~colloquy with Republican members
over the question Of keeping party
platform pledges.

what We will do" remarked Mann.

like doing It."
The Old Controversy.
The army bin developed the fact that
not eve by legislation can equality be
established. The same old controversy
over the distinction between the enlist
ed men and the officers arose. Heating

listed men and was asked by Cannon

men the same pay as second lieuten-
ants, to which no replied In the mega

DOG SAVES THE FAMILY
All Members Escape from Burning,
but Animal Loses Life.

Manson, Ia. March 31.-The
whining of a faithful house dog saved
the lives OF the family OF a farmer
named Hall at Manson. but the life
of the little dog was sacrificed after
he had seen his master, mistress and
their children safely out of the burn
ing home.
Hall was awakened by the whining
of the dog and smelled smoke. He
found the house in flames and all but
one exit cut off. He dropped the
children out of the window to the
ground and then went for his wife
and baby. He got9them out safely,
the dog following hts every step at
his heels. After all had been saved
Hall looked for the dog and could
not find it. He made Q trip back in
to the burning house, calling the
faithful little animal. but was unable
to stand the smoke. The dog per-
ished in the house, which was com.
pletely destroyed.

THE SKIRT is COMING DOWN.

The skirt has surely gone up a.
high as it's going to, and now it is
coming down. The shoemakers know
it, and it is matter of business will
them to know, too. They have taken
about two inches off the tops Of the
new fall shoes. This new skirt is rot
coming way down, however. It wilI
stop about at the ankles. The ter.
dency, too, is toward straight and mar
rover lines. But it will be lone
way from the hobble. Women having
been hobbled once are not likely to be
hobbled again. That's where the de-
lights of freedom come in. By the
way, Callotof Paris was among the
first of the sponsors for this longer
skirt.
The pert, fiaring and bouffant skirt
will still be worn; but it has lost its
novelty, and that was the best part of
it. Lots of women, however, thought
its youthfulness the best part. They
claimed that you couldn't tell the
grandmother from the granddaugh-
ter, when viewed from behind, by
wearing it. But you see the grand
daughter doesn't care about this, If
new style seems more attractive
nd the poor grandmother must sub
nit. 1t does seem as though youth
and fashion are always in league
quite forgetting that middle age and
old age have aspirations about being
tastefully clothed.

pile, we would join in with those who
seek to pull him down. We do not
propose to pull man down for doing
his duty. He has made the law a
thing to be respected, and he should
have the support of every law-abiding
citizen in the State.
And we do not believe, as Governor
Manning's enemies seem to think, that
he will be defeated. We believe he is
going to be elected by some four or
five thousand majority. He will be so
elected if the Manning supporters turn
out on Tuesday. The vote, in our
judgment, will be around 68 to 72
thousand in favor of Manning. To
this end we look In the first primary
the supporters of Mr.. Blease talked
Cooper but voted Blease. There will
be no side issue this time. 1t is Man
ming or Blease, and we believe the
bulk of the Cooper votes will go to
Manning. Besides, many of the Man
ming supporters in the first primary
gave little attention to the matter
for all felt there would be a second
primary. This will not be the condi-
ton the second primary. If a full
vote is polled Tuesday, and there is
every indication that there will be
Manning will be the next governor of
South Carolina.

WHY A THIRD TERN?

So far as the editor of this paper
is concerned he would vote fcr ro
man in South Carolina for a third
term as governor. We think the
precedent established that no one man
should hold the Office longer than two
terms is wise one. If the prcccdent
is ever broken there is then Just lea
son to believe that there would be
no limit to one persons occupancy OF
the office. And if there is 20 be no
limit then where the necessity for
an election? Why not just find a
popular idol and give the State into
his keeping until he tires of the ,au-
BILE and filings it down like child
tired of toy. To prolong the tenure
of the office as established by prece-
dent is to cheaper it's value and to
build up an autocracy and sarfd0m,
condition which, all nations who suf-
fer from it, are striving to get id of.
George Washington, who led the strug-
Cling American colonies 20 victory in
their fight for political independence,
saw the danger of such a course, and
had the honesty and courage to refuse
third term when the infant govern
ment tried to force it upon him. A
weaker man, with an o'erweening es-
innate of himself, would have yielded
and wrecked the very underlying prin-
ciple of the Republican form of gov
ernment in its very making. And
those who have tried for the third
term, Grant and Roosevelt, two pop
ular idols, were summarily set aside
by their own party worshippers. Shall
South Carolina act less wisely by ig-
noring the same principle in the Sc
lection of governor? We do not be-
lieve it will be done.-Kershaw
Era.

MANNING'S ADMINISTRATIVE
LAWLESS?

The charge is being made by Blease
and many of his followers that Man
ning's administration has been a law
less one; that crime is on the ram
pant; that conditions are worse now
than when Blease was governor. Let
us look into this. People are prone
to forget; they lose sight of the dead
and save their sympathy for the liv-
ing. Have the people of Union county
forgotten the case of Harry Coleman,
convicted of assasSinating his own
father, and sentenced to life imprison-
and no doubt busying himself with
the political advancement of Blease,
the governor who set him at liberty.
Just after the case of Harry Cole
man came the case of Nicholson,
convicted of killing Jack MckiSsick.
and sentenced to the penitentiary for
long term of years. Where is he
now? Out, free, at liberty to work
for Blease in the present strenuous
times. He did not much more than
get to the penitentiary before the man
who now accuses the Manning ad-
ministration of lawlessness. set him
free.
These are not the only cases, that
occurred right here in Union county,
but they are sufficient to point our
tale. 1t is ridiculous for a man who
has set at liberty two of the most
hideous criminals in the annals o,
crime to point his finger at Manning
and ridicule his pardoning record. 1t
is sad to face deadness of public
conscience that can so soon forget the
dead, and that can have sympathy only
for the unfortunate criminal. Our
people do not think; they do not con-
sider Some day the shaft will strike
home, then there will be consideration,
but it will be too late. We do not
believe there is a man in Union coun-
ty that, upon sober thought, will say
Blease'S administration was less law
less than was that of Manning. Bet
ter think twice before putting a man
in the governor chair who has cmptied
your penitentiaries and chaingangs,
undone the work of your courts and
juries and who had no regard for the
rights of any save those of his polit
ical friends.
The Union times. [volume] (Union, S.C.) 1894-1918, 1916-09-08
MANNING OR BLEASE?

Manning or Blease, which? We do
not hesitate to say that, in our hum
BILE Judgment, Manning should be
given second term. Blease has been
governor for four years, two terms.
1t has been a long established custom
to give it to no man a third term.
This is a reasonable reason, but there
is one far stronger. Governor Man
ming was elected upon his declaration
that, if chosen, he could enforce the
laws of the State. He has done ex-
actly that. The chief objection to him
comes from the lawless element, chat
ing under enforced law. All blind
tigers are opposed to him. All the
advocates of unrestricted license are
opposed to him. 1t is true that some
good citizens are opposed to him. We
believe they are sincere, but mis-
guided. They believe the adverse
criticisms made against the Manning
administration, but could not sift and
make sure of the truth of single
charge. So far as we know, Governor
Manning has been a clean, high-class
executive. We believe him to be a
worthy man, one who has done his
duty as he saw it. We do not pro-
pose to be driven from supporting
him by the hue and cry raised against
him by his enemies. If we thought
him an unworthy servant of the peo-

WEST SPRINGS

West Springs, Sept. 6.-Sunday was
somewhat of red letter day in the
history of West Springs. An cold
time singing" was held at West
Springs church. The singing was
something new. Very few of the
younger generation had ever heard any
Of the songs.
Long before the hour appointed for
the singing to begin the yard was
filled with automobiles and carriages.
Throngs of people from different parts
of Spartanburg county, Spartanburg,
Landrum, Chesnee, Woodruff and Pac-
olet were present.
The book used was Billy Walkers
"Christian Harmony" 1t was de-
lightful to see and hear the old peo-
pie, many whom had come from a dis
tanee, sing those old songs. The
singing was under the direction of
Judge ]. J. Burnett of Spartanburg.
Mr. Burnett had several of the prom
inent singers to each lead three pieces.
Among those who lead in the singing
were "Uncle Joe" Bennett of Spar
| tanburg, ID. l.. p. Martin of Chesnee,
j. A. Lancaster of Jonesville and 9TH
| erS.
Some of the songs that were used
were webster" Greenfield" "Tn
That Morning" and "Hosannah." Those
old songs were sung with great spirit
and affected the congregation very
much. Many were seen to wipe the
tears away as memories of by-gone
days came back and flooded the mind.
Just before the dinner, Judge Bur-
nett said that along with the splendid
music he thought it very appropriate
to have some one to talk to the con-
gregation so he introduced Prof. John
G.. Clinkscales. Prof. Clinkscales de-
livered most excellent address. 1t
was great pleasure to West Springs
people to hear him again.
At the conclusion of Prof. Clink-
scales address the audience was dis
missed to the grove, where a most
bountiful dinner was served. An
hour or two was spent in pleasant
social intercourse, after which the
audience repaired to the house and
sang for an hour or two longer.
Among the favorites of the singers
were j. A. Lancaster, ID. l.. Z. Martin
and H. L. Shipman, of Saxon, who
sang fine tenor.
The day will be long remembered
by the people of West Springs and it
has been decided to make the singing
an annual event.
Mr.. Olin H. Began of Spartanburg
spent the weekend here with his
mother, Mrs. w. p. Began.
Moxy, The Times correspondent at
Lockhart Junction, attended the "all-
day" singing" at West Springs on
Sunday. Come again, Moxy, we are
always glad to see you.
Crops in this section are turning
out to be as short as was expected.

SOME HOPE OF ACTION.

Washington, Sept. 6.-Administra-
tion senator's tonight had hope of rati-
flying at this session of congress the
treaty to purchase the Danish West
Indies for $25,0OO,O0O. After several
hours discussion in executive session
there were clair indications that more
than two-thirds of the senators favor
ed the purchase.
