But the great trouble is that the pro-
vision allowing the shipment of five
dozen bottles of beer opens the way
to all kinds of shipments, not only
of beer, but of mean liquor as well.
The law, it is true, does not contem-
plate this, but, it is evident that it
makes it possible for persons to re-
ceive even greater quantities Of IL
quor than they are now receiving.
An innocent provision will be made
the means of untold violations OF
law which are not possible under the
gallon month act. For this rea-
son, we believe that Governor Man
ming has good grounds to consider
the matter we'll before approving the
proposed law.

THE TWO QUART LAW.

Almost every day, somebody wants
to know whether the two quart law
has been approved by the governor
and when it goes into effect. And
some of our friends are criticising
Governor Manning for not approving
the law and making it of force. We
can understand why a man who
wants beer can find fault with him,
and why the blind tiger might want
the law approved. But when those
who are in favor of temperance dis
approve of the actions of the COVER
nor in going slow in this matter,
we must conclude that they have not
studied the situation.
For our part, we are perfectly will
ing that the amount of liquor which
may be received by an individual be
reduced from a gallon to two quarts.
If the law stopped there, we would
favor it. We cannot say that we
object to a person receiving five doz-
en- bottles of beer in lieu of the Ii
quor, as we believe it less harmful.

urgent requests that Mr.. Cooper says
he has been receiving, large num-
Der of people have already formed
their opinion of the governors rec
ord and it only remains for Mr..
Cooper to give his platform and views
as to the future so that they may
decide for themselves whether or not
they are depending upon the right
man. 1t may certainly be depended
upon that Mr.. Cooper will not say or
do anything that will in anywise COM
promise himself with a lawless ele-
ment. His record as a prosecuting
officer in the courts is sufficient to
blight any hopes along that line.
1t is real early to predict with any
degree of certainty as to the pros.
poets of any candidate in the race
but we rather think that many pa
pers have underestimated the
strength Of Mr.. Cooper and are moi
aware of the strong current running
in his favor. Of course he may be
deceived in this himself, but that i!
matter for his own judgment ane
does not at all argue that he should
not respond to it.-Laurens Adver

GOOD ROADS.

The county force is at work on the
road from Abbeville to Due West.
This road has not in the last few
years received the attention which
it's importance deserved, but it is now
being worked in a satisfactory way.
The work being done is what has
long been needed. The road is be-
ing widened at all points, and we'll
ditched at the sides. It is also
being thoroughly scraped and made
smooth for travel. When completed
we will have modern thorofare.
But this road will not remain in
its present condition unless the peo-
pie along the line show some interest
in keeping it in first class shape. At
this season Of the year we know
that it is impossible for the people
to neglect their farms, but when the
crops have been matured, and the
rest time comes, the people along the
road should get together and give a
weeks time to the Improvement Of
this highway. It will mean a saving
in time and expense to every man
who uses it. The red places should
be thoroughly sanded, and the sand
mixed with the clay, and the sand
beds should be done away with by
being treated with clay.
Ali that the movement needs is
leader. DR.. Carwile is good man
to start the movement, though he
does not reside on this road. He
uses it only occasionally, but we be-
lieve he is interested enough to head
a movement to give Abbeville county
a road which will be an example to
other communities in this county
and to other counties.
The people of the city of Abbeville
and of the town of Due West we be-
lieve would cooperate with the peo-
pie along the line OF this road IN max
ing it what it should be. We hope
that DR.. Carwile, or some other inter-
ested party, may be induced to take
up this work, and inaugurate move
ment which will mean so much to
the people of the county. We are
getting behind other counties in the
matter of good roads and it is nee
essary that the people go to work.
1t is idle to look to the chain-gang
and to the small tax levied to keep
the roads up to what they should be.
The people must realize that other
work and help must be contributed.

Cooper In the Race.

From the viewpoint of The En-
quirer, Mr.. Cooper has Just as much
right to enter the race for governor
this year as he had two years ago,
and as much right as Mr.. Manning
or Mr.. Blease. Also we do not mind
saying that we are glad Mr.. Cooper
has seen proper to enter. We have
no objection to a governor serving
two terms if the people want him, or
three for that matter; but we do
not want a governor to serve Sec
ond term or a third term, unless the
people do want him. To find out
what the people want, they must
have the opportunity to express them
selves, and to do that they must have
choice of candidates. No matter
how many candidates there may be
in the race, it is the purpose of The
Enquirer to try to treat them all as
fairly as possible. -Yorkville Enquir-
er.

r. A. Cooper.

There have been many and varied
newspaper comments on the advent
of Mr.. Cooper into the gubernatorlal
race. Some criticize him for enter
ing the race, on the ground that it
will weaken the cause of the law en-
forcement element by dividing its
strength and also on the ground that
Gov. Manning is entitled to another
term. Others acknowledge his title
to become a candidate without fur
ther comment, while still others came
out definitely on his side. The pro-
portion of these different views is
about the same as may be judged
from the comments printed in last
weeks paper. The larger daily pa
pers, as a whole, have been rather
reticent in expressing themselves.
The chief objection brought forth
is on the ground that Gov. Manning's
and Mr.. Cooper's platform in the last
campaign were practically. the same
and for Mr.. Cooper to justify his
claim to the Office now he must find
fault in Gov. Manning for advocating
Just those things which he himself
was pledged to do. We do not know
Mr.. Cooper's plan Of campaign, but
we see no necessity for him to attack
Gov. Manning's record. That re-
cord has been made and is already
public property. There is no rea-
son why Mr.. Cooper should 60 into
it unless he chooses to, for he might
feel willing for the voters to pass on
it without anything further than
what Gov. Manning himself may wish
to say about it. Judging from the
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1916-03-29
Manning and Cooper.

We have yet to hear of anything
that Gov. Manning has done during
his administration that would have
been done differently by Mr.. Cooper
had the latter occupied the governors
chair. Both are men of high ideals,
lofty and clean in their purposes,
and the Laurens mans candidacy is
not so much a protest against any
act of Governor Manning as simply
the expression of an ambition which
Mr.. Cooper or anybody else has a
perfect right to possess, if he 80 de-
sires. but nevertheless, IS singularly
unfortunate, coming at this juncture.

THE GOVERNORS RACE.
Preaching the Funeral.

Quite a number of the papers of
the state are printing Mr.. Cooper's
political funeral, but we have an idea
that they are somewhat premature.
Better wait until about the latter
part of August, and at that time we
would not be surprised that they will
experience a jolt when they wake up.
Mr.. Cooper will be able to take
care of himself on the platform
against all others, and great changes
can Re wrought in a few months.
1t has been repeatedly noted that
the Anderson county votes is good
indication of how the state will vote,
and if this continues to hold true
this time, we have a very strong sus-
picion as to who will be the next gov
ernor of South Carolina.
Better call off the funeral.-An-
derson Daily Mail.
