alton.
The Record has no objection to
Mr. Cooper being Governor, but does
not believe he would have made a
better Governor than Mr. Manning
has made, had he been elected to
the office two years ago, nor do we
believe he could in Il great measure
improve upon Mr. Manning's al
ministratiun during the next two
years, for Mr. Manning will doubt
less make Us better Governor then
than he has in the past, baSing the
assertion upon the fact that expert
ence makes proficiency. Then too,
it should he remembered that when
Mr. Manning entered upon his duties
as Governor the States governmental
affairs were badly disrupted and in
a chaotic condition. During his
eighteen months of administration
no man could have accomplished
more towards the rehabilitation OF
the States affairs.
We do not doubt that Governor
Manning has made some mistakes
In fact, we know he has, for it i:
human to err, but his mistake:
have not been costly nor were they
criminal.
Lastly, we have no serious obiec'
ton to Mr. DesChamps or to Nj
Duncan if the time were right fol
either of them to occupy the office
of Governor. As to Mr. Blease We
do object on the principle of hi:
general unftness as shown by hi:
past record in Office.

CRACK OF RIFE
Prevents Escape of Prisoners
From State Penitentiary

Having made q rope of blankets
and sheets, four prisoners climbed
down 60 feet from the top of the
main building at the State peniten'
tiary at 2::15 o'clock Tuesday morn
ing and attempted to evade the SEN
try. The guard on duty fired at the
men just as they reached the ground
and broke up what the officers at
the State prison believe was a gen.
eral movement among the prisoners
to escape. Eight other prisoners
who had gone to the roof were tax.
en- ard returned to their cells.
Howard Clark, white, serving a
life term for murder, who is believ-
ed to be the leader of the move
ment, was the first prisoner to be
captured after reaching the ground.
Ten minutes later Tom Ammons,
serving ten year term for man.
slaughter, was seized. The hunt
for the other two prisoners. Clarence
Davis, serving ten year sentence
for attempted criminal assault, and
Luther Smith, serving two year
sentence for larceny of live stock,
was kept up until 6 o'clock yester-
day morning, when the two men
were found hiding in one of the
buildings in the yard.
The men on the top tier Of the
main building were not locked in
their cells Monday night. A door
leading to the roof was broken open.
Practically all of the blankets on the
tier were used in making the rope.
The four convicts, it is thought, eX-
pected to overpower the guard when
they reached the ground and then
the getaway would nave been easy

MANNING's STRENGTH GROWS
Consiantly---May Win I'm First
Primary.


/ 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 CT ndi-
dates for Governor the incumt ant,
Richard l Manning. and Cole L Biz ase
are to be considered" said 2
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
consider that a neutral position is
not the proper attitude to take tow
ards great and growing questions of
the hour, questions that are con-
stantly finding reiteration in the
minds of South Carolinians. Man.
ming and Blease have come out bold
ly and emphatically upon pointedly
cleaved issues, and they are the ones
that are being given grave consider
alton in the coming primary. Being
in daily intimate touch with Charles
ton county, l am satisfied that Gov
ernor Manning will receive the pre-
ponderating consideration of the an
ti-Blease sentiment at the polls; and
being familiar with the political SEN
timent in other parts of the low
country,I am satisfied that the Sum-
ter candidate will receive enough
votes in this section to give him a
majority in the first primary over
the four other gubernatorial candi-
dates If not a majority. then q
tremendous plurality. l make this
statement after careful consideration
and close scrutiny 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 impartia!ly, and that,
in this respect, the people have con-
6dence 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.
Furthermore, l am of the un-
qualified opinion" continued Mr.
Mcleod, that the people believe in
the promotion of education in the
public schools; believe that the offic-
ials should do all in their power to
see that the laboring man gets a
square deal; believe that every
comfort possible should be given the
unfortunate patients in the State
hospital for the insane; believe that
the verdicts of the juries and the
DEGREES of the courts should be re-
spected; believe that agriculture
should be taught in the common
schools; and believing these things
and having the knowledge that Coy
ernor Manning stands for all these
views, they are going to support him
at the polls and stamp their approx
al on his administration by re-elect-
ing him for second term"
Expressions like these from the
president of the Charleston Chamber
of Commerce are being voiced in ev-
cry section of the low country and
the popularity of Governor Manning
is constantly increasing. Many who
have not supported him are coming
over to his side-knowing that he
stands for concrete issues and will
be unswerving in the fulfillment of
his pledges.

THURSDAY. AUG. 10. iele
Governor Manning.

1--WE have nothing to say about
the other gentlemen who are asking
our support as citizens. We candid
ly believe that every citizen owes it
to himself and to the cause of good
government to support Mr. Manning
this year unless he believes that Mr.
Manning has been wholly failure
as Governor.
For many years-since long be-
fore our day-South Carolina has
honored her Governors with a Sec
ond term as an endorsement and a
new and larger opportunity to serve
the State. That has been the rule.
Is Mr. Manning unworthy of this?
Now, deep down in your heart, don't
you think the Governor entitled to
the same courtesy the State has
shown to all other Governors in
recent years?
We Call attention to some out
standing claims that Mr. Manning
has upon all citizens who love their
State and stand ready to shake
hands with q man who does his best
and does well. Think oyer the
following:
Manning has enforced the law.
Would Mr. Blease, Mr. Cooper,
Mr. DesCAamps or Mr. Duncan do
other than Governor Manning has
done?
Manning has promoted educa-
ton in the common schools.
Would Mr. Blease, Mr. Cooper,
Mr. DesChamps or Mr. Duncan do
other than Governor Manning has
done?
Manning has been a real friend
to the la0orirg man.
Would Mr. Blease, Mr. Cooper,
Mr. DesChamps or Mr. Duncan do
other than Governor Manning has
done?
Manning has reorganized the
State Hospital for the Insane and
has provided comforts and tender
care for the unfortunate patients.
Would Mr. Blease, Mr. Cooper,
Mr. DesChamps or Mr. Duncan do
other than Governor Manning has
done?
Manning has urged and secured
the passage of law providing the
Torrens system Of land registration.
Would Mr. Blease, Mr. Cooper,
Mr. DesChamps or Mr. Duncan do
other than Governor Manning has
done?
Manning has provided real
business administration
Would Mr. Blease, Mr. Cooper,
Mr. Deschamps or Mr. Duncan do
other than Governor Manning has
done?
Manning respects the verdicts of
iuries and the DEGREES Of courts.
Would Mr. Blease, Mr. Cooper,
Mr. DesChamps or Mr. Duncan do
other than Governor Manning has
done?
Manning worked for and secur-
ed the passage of an act providing
for the teac, ing of agriculture in
the common schools.
Would Mr. Blease, Mr. Cooper,
Nv NN~C',,.. IS or Mr. Duncan do
other than Governor Manning has
done?
Manning has given loyal support
to the State Warehouse System as Il
business Institution.
We do not regard this as faction
al matter. There is a bigger factor
that should engage our best and
most earnest consideration. The
question is, Do you repudlate Gov
ernor Manning and his efforts for
the welfare of the State; do you
want to discourage honest and faith
full efforts in the service of the State?
1t isn't whether the other gentle
men are capable or not, but the big
question is, are you against Governor
Manning and his, efforts for the
State?"

erberating across the waters in
