Manning and Blease -.
in Second Primary

South Carolina's first primarr
brought forth various surprises, in a
contest of great Statewide interest
centering principally upon the spirited
contest for Governor, in which the
incumbent, Richard l. Manning,
Of Sumter, was looked upon as
an almost sure winner. AS the day
waned and the votes were being
counted it became evident that Cole
Blease, the former Governor, was
again coming to the front with great
amount Of strength upstate" and
otherwise. Shortly after midnight,
with practically every county in the
State heard from, but the count more
or less incomplete, the voting stood as
follows:
Blease: 58,460.
Manning: 3S,463.
Cooper: 28,867.
This indicates that Ex-Governor
Blease and the present Governor, Mr..
Manning, will face each other in
second contest for Governor. J
what percentage of Mr.. Cooper's.

Louisiana planters are in the unusual
position of having disposed Of approx,
inately one-third of their crop. pos.
sibly more, before harvesting opera
tons are well under way. #zThis. con.
ditiOn indicates the great demand for
sugar and reflects the general pros.
perity. It is strong contrast 10 con.
ditions in the Louisiana field in re
cent years. when uncertainty reignnd
and the planters came TO the harvest
season largely on faith
Now that good feeling has been re.
stored generally in the Louisiana in
dustry and all elements are working
together, the indications are that the
industry will be in a position 10 face
the era of keen competition that will
set in after the conclusion of the
European war. The present prospects
are so encouraging that optimism
reigns among the planters. Sugar is
such a vital factor in the prosperity If
the state that the encouraging symp~
toms in the industry have affected al
classes of the population.
The threat of the abolition of the
sugar tariff few years ago hit the
Louisiana planters harder than any
ether domestic producers The recoy.
cry OF the industry under present pros
porous conditions has therefore been
received with general qualification
throughout the state.
In addition to the 10000 tons of test,
sugars purchased by the American.
which amount approXimates some
30a. 90 bags, the Colonial Sugar Cor-
pany announces that it has completed
arrangements to refine about 100000
bags at its Gramercy refinery on

Henderson has also closed contracts
for some 10000 bags In all 100000
or more bags of Louisiana raws have
been taken off the market, or over
cne-third of the probable production
of raws, if estimates of a 250.000-ton
cane crop are anywhere near correct.
New crop plantation or direct con-
sumption sugar is expected here in
Gay or two. The Allendale factory,
at West Baton Rouge parish, is now
operating and it is reported that 21G
barrels have been shipped to New Or
