London, Oct 23-The bridge across
the Danube at Cernayoda, the only
means of crossing the river in the
Dobrudia region. is in peril of capture
by VonMackensen' victorious Teuton
army, which has occupied Constant,

The important railroad running
from Constanza west to Cernayoda
has been cut at a point some miles
west of COnstanZa. The water route
for Russian aid to Rumania has been
closed and, according to the Berlin
official report, the Teuton-Bulgar
troops are approaching Cernayoda.
The Russians and Rumanians, who
have been driven from strong posi-
tions, are being pursued relentlessly
by the Germans, Turks and Bulgars.
Rumania and Russia admit that their
armies in the Dobrudja are still in re-

Jno. T. Duncan charged that two
years ago DesChamps was a Blease
heeler, and was trying to get on
Blease's election. Attacked A. j. Be-
thea, for lieutenant governor saying
that he was running a pool and bill
lard room in Columbia; also that Be-
thea paid up a cancelled insurance
policy on a store in Columbia after it
had burned, and was fool enough to
go into the courts and try to collect
his insurance. Says that the liquor
trust has three candidates in the field,
and will be pleased with the election
of either one of them, the three being
Manning, Cooper and Blease. That
when Blease went out of office took
the records with him-and that was
why proof was hard to get to convict
him of wrong doing. That Manning
was weakling, could not defend him
self against the lies that Blease told
on him, to say nothing of the truth.
| Gov. Rich. l. Manning was the
last speaker. He was running for re-
election to the Office of governor of
South Carolina, and to give an ac-
count of his acts during the time that
he has been governor. That he was
making his race along non-factional-
ism lines, and was indulging in no
mud singing. That two years ago he
told the people of South Carolina that
the paramount question before them
was that of law enforcement. That
today it is as strong as it was then.
That the question for South Carolina
to decide was whether they wanted to
go on in a law-abiding and law-en-
forcing way, or to return to lawless-
ness and disorder. That his predeces-
sor turned loose 1900 criminals; set
aside the verdicts of $4,000 jurors I;
Does South Carolina want to return to
that? That liquor laws were violated
with impunity; race track gambling
in Charleston was carried on; and
criminals pardoned before they
reached the penitentiary. That when
he went in as governor he revoked
the commission of all coEstables, and
called upon the mayors and sheriffs
to do their duty. That the local au-
thorities in Charleston were unable to
deal with the situation there, so he
appointed constables thera. and gave
orders to raid the blind tigers a. Of
ten as necessary, and to report their
findings to him. That since he has
been governor between 400 to 500 have
applied for pardons and as have been
granted. That he has used $4,000

everyone fairly. That he believed in
equal and exact justice to all men;
that he did not believe in putting one
man on the chaingang, while you per-
mitted another who was guilty of the
same Offense to escape with a fine.
Believed that the law should be en-
forced as it is now written; and would
sustain the judgments and DEGREES OF
the courts unless it was clearly
shown that a mistake had been made.
Believed in the strict enforcement of
law. Was in favor of aiding the COM
mon schools, and bringing them to
the standard required by finishing the
second year in college. Ninety per
cent of children cannot go to college,
but if two years of college work was
done in the common schools then ev-
cry one could get the essentials. Be-
lieves in abolishing free tuition and
free scholarships in all colleges, and
requiring each boy and girl who are
unable to pay their way through
! school to borrow from the State, and
to repay it after graduation. Believed
in teaching agriculture in all the
schools. Cannot promise to lower
taxes, but will handle the peoples
money like he would his own. Be-
lieves in a Rural Credit law, and
thinks that the State should aid the
- per cent tenants in South Carolina
to own a home. Believes in regulat-
ed State warehouse system.
Mr.. Jas. M. DesChamps was the
! third candidate for governor who
spoke. Was making this race along
non-factionalism lines, and belonged
to no political ring or clique. That
what South Carolina needed today
was to take care of the waste-that
her lands were wahsing away, her
timbers and forests were devastated
and her streams in the lower part of
the State were stagnant-thus spread
ing typhoid and malarial fever. That
did not believe that the present
insurance law was fair to the insur-
ance companies. Believes in driving
liquor out of the United States. Is a
firm believer in law and order-and
can see on every hand where condi-
tions have materially improved with
in the past two years. That now life
and property are respected, the law
enforced, and although it is an en-
dorsement of Gov. Manning to say
so believes in being true to his cp-
ponents. Believes that conditions will
grow better. Believes in unity of all
the people before South Carolina will
come into her own.

rowed. That he was chiefly instru-
mental in placing on the tax books of
the State $1,5OO,OOO worth of prop
erty that had never before been
placed there. Asked reelection upon
his merits and upon his ability.
d w. McLaurin was the next
speaker. He was an old Confederate
soldier; served for four years in the
war. That four years ago he was de-
feated for the position for State
treasurer by Carter, who had the in
fuence of all the students of Clemson
college behind him. That during the
time Carter has been chief clerk in
the State treasurer's Office and State
treasurer he has been paid over $780,
900 from the State. That now Carter
has property worth between $4,000
and $4,000. That since Carter has
been State treasurer he has built a
new house, and bought an automobile.
That now Carter is president of two
banks; and that Carter offered to sell
$4,5O0,00O worth of State bonds at "a
private sale.
1t was IL o'clock when the candi-
dates for governor began speaking.
The first to the bat was Ex-Gov. Cole
L. Blease, who was greeted by lusty
cheers. Governor Blease undoubtedly
made the best speech he has ever
made in Union. He stated that it was
his privilege to discuss the public
record of any candidate for governor,
but that he would not discuss the pri-
vate affairs of any man. That Gov.
Manning had been elected, or claimed
to have been elected upon platform
of law and order. That now South
Carolina is more lawless than any
other State in the Union. That Gov
Manning when he took the oath of
Office said that he would be the gov
ernor of everybody, and would strive
to know no faction. That despite this
promise he had turned all Bleaseites
out Of office; and that all of those that
he could not turn out himself, he had
gotten the legislature to turn out for
him. That Manning had appointed
several negroes as notary public and
that one negro, Eli Chapman of Spar
tanburg, possibly had the endorsement
Of John Gary Evans. That Manning
refused to appoint Sheriff Long as
magistrate because Sheriff Long was
a Bleaseite. That Manning had given

j. Frost Walker a raw deal in rot
appointing him as major, and had
placed a Yankee in charge of the
First regiment. That Manning had ap-
pointed man who was superintcrd-
ent of the asylum, DR.. Williams, at a
salary of $4,000 per year, ano that
Williams was superintendent i'll name
only. That so far as Manning law
and order record was concerned he
:ourted comparison with the record
'hile he was governor. That during
Manning's term 25 white women had
her been assaulted or an attempt
had been made upon them by negroes;
while Blease was governor two tried
it-one was electrocuted, the other
vas hanged by mob; that during
the same time nine white men had
been killed by negroes, while during
his administration two were killed,
and those two negroes were electro
cuted. That there was no prohibition
now, that liquor could be bought in
any town in the State; that in Char
lesion the only thing that Manning
had done was to run the blind tiger
from downstairs upstairs. Promised
if elected to be governor of all the
people, and not his friends; that he
would let the dead past bury it's dead,
| and give every one a square deal.
That he was in favor of State ware
house system; per cent rate of in
terest, and biennial sessions of the
Legislature.
r. A. Cooper: Was no stranger
here; had run in this circuit once be-
fore for solicitor, and two years ago
ran for governor. That he had no
apology to make for running now,
that it was privilege that every man
had. That if he was elected governor
he would be governor of all the peo-
ple-that to be otherwise would give
the lie to the oath of office of gov
ernor. That he had never worn any
mans collar; and that if he were
elected he would go into Office with
his hands united, and would be free
to give to every man or set of men a
square deal That he was running on
his own merits, and refused to be
elected by profiting by the mistakes
of any other man; was not making
this race on factionalism, but called
upon all of the people of South Caro-
lima to- quit fighting each other, and
fight together. But whether a man
voted or worked against him, if elected
he would not know it, or hold it
against him, but on the contrary, give
to each man a square deal and treat

of the $4,000 appropriated for him to
enforce the liquor law; that recently
wo carloads of liquor was seized.
That he has given South Carolina n
business administration; that he saved
on the refunding of the State bonds
$27 900, in interest, with an annual
saving of $4,000 every years for 20
years. That he has borrowed money
for the State cheaper than ever be-
fore, getting it for 2 per cent. That
in the matter of the National Guard
debt left him by Gov. Blease he has
saved $4,000 for the State. That he
had tax commission created for the
purpose of correcting the great abuse
of taxes, that it was found that some
corporations were paying on only z
per cent of the value of their prop
erty. That he had passed the Tor
rens Land System for registering tt
IS; that he advocated a Rural Credit
System to aid the white tenants of
South Carolina to purchase homes;
that he had had passed the 80 hour
law for cotton mills, and the law not
allowing negroes to work in the mills
with whites; that the weekly pay law
had been passed, also the anti-dock-
ing law. That he had tried to give
labor square deal; and on account
of the fact that he had advocated
these laws the corporations were row
fighting him. That he had heard since
coming to Union that some of the mil'
presidents and managers were threat
ening their employees with dischare-
ing them if they voted for him. That
when he went in as governor he in
Investigated the asylum for the insane.
That he found neglect, waste, extrav-
agance. That he found the inmates
were given poor food, and it poorly
cooked; and that many were sleeping
on straw. That there was no fire pro
lection for the inmates in case of fire.
That the inmates were restrained by
leather straps. That the superintend-
ent there then was inefficient; that
he could not get good man for the
salary of $4,000, so contributed S2.400
himself. That under the new man
agement $4,000 has been saved, bet
ter treatment is given to the patients;
the death rate has been decreased
about 65 per cent. In favor of educa-
ton and law enforcement. And prom
ises that he will if reelected be re-
lentless on the blind tigers and the
criminals of the State.

THE COAST

R. Goodwin Rhett of Charleston,
President of Chamber of Com
merce of United States, says:
"I am glad to say that Governor
Manning ought to be extremely
gratified at the splendid reception
given him here and is to be con-
graduated upon the fine address
he made. l think the people of the
State realize that he has fulfilled
his promises to an unusual degree
and therefore those who voted for
him two years ago because of these
promises ought to be-and l be-
lieve with few exceptions are
immensely gratified and will use
every effort to see that his work is
indorsed and acknowledged and
that he be given an opportunity
of doing still more for the people
of the State. l think each day he
is growing stronger in the regard,
esteem and affection of the public"
Mr.. Rhett is one of the best
known business men in South Caro-
lima. In addition TO his other
connections he is President of the
United States Chamber of Com
merce. Mr.. Rhett has travelled ex-
tensively over the State and the
above statement from him is sig
nificant and indicates the great
strength of Governor Manning with
the people.

ming constantly coming to him from the four
nposite thought of the State and foretell for him
ID. A. GEER:

d. A. Geer, large farmer and
merchant of Belton, says:
Being in intimate touch with
the political situation in the Pied
mont, l firmly believe that Gov
ernor Manning's strength in this
section of the State is growing
daily regardless of wild claims to
the contrary. At no time has his
chance for reelection been brighter.
Should he not be nominated in the
first primary over all his competi-
tors, am satisfied that he will re.
peat his splendid victory of two
years ago, when he defeated Mr..
Richards, by an overwhelming ma
jority, in the second primary. So
far as my own county, Anderson, is
concerned, | believe he will run a
strong second in the first primary.
The other Piedmont counties will
give him q surprisingly large vote,
and | am satisfied that those per-
sons now claiming that Governor
Manning is weak in the Piedmont
will be greatly surprised al his
strength when the vote is counted.
Why shouldn't he run strong in
the Piedmont? He has certainly
proven himself worthy.
Governor Manning's hard but
unceasing fight for law and order
and his success in restoring conf
dence in the forces making for
civic righteousness in South Caro-
lima, his earnest advocacy of social
and industrial justice, his success
full efforts for better educational
facilities for the white boys and
girls of the State, the economic
measures passed under his admin
istration for improving the condi-
tions surrounding our rural popu-
lation, and the reorganization of
the State Hospital for the Insane,
with its modern, improved methods
of treatment for the unfortunate
inmates and the large saving in
dollars and cents as a result of the
economies practiced there by the
new administration, have caused
me to give my undivided support
10 Governor Manning. I believe
that the majority of the people of
South Carolina agree with me that
his progressive administration
should be continued so that the
great work that he has so we'll be-
gun for law, order, education and
humanity shall be carried forward
by him to a successful conclusion. !"
