TlLIHAN WILL STAY ON THE JOB
Wants to Be on Hand Should Fight
on Nitrate Item BE Renewed
in Senate.
CANCELS TRIP TO TRENTON
L. D. Smith Conferee and Will Work
Hard in Conference for
Amendment.

Washington, July Ex-senator Till
man had made his plans to go to his
home at Trenton for short stay after
the passage of the food control bill
by the Senate, but today reconsidered,
because he thought il best to stay here
until final action on the measure by
both houses of Congress.
Senator Tillman is actuated espe-
cially by his desire to protect the $780,
100000 nitrate amendment, which he
induced the Senate to adopt Satur-
day in the same language in which it
had been passed as separate resolu-
tion when originally introduced by
Senator E. D. Smith.
Senator Smith is one of the con-
ferees, but if the House should refuse
to accept the nitrate amendment it
will be thrown back into the full Sen
ate and big fight may result, in
which every vote will be needed, and
advance effort will count.

TOBACCO SALES AT 80.
Manning Tobacco Board of Trade
Formed.

At meeting Friday of the tobacco
warchouscmen and buyers Of Manning
there was formed the Manning To-
bacco Board of Trade. Mr.. N NJ.
Schaum, of the Imperial Tobacco
Company, was chosen president, and
r. II. Stukes, Of Clark's Warehouse,
secretary and treasurer.
The purpose of Chis organization is
to effect a closer cooperation among
the tobacco men for the development
of the Manning market. In past years
this town has led the others of the
South Carolina belt in average prices,
and, Judging from the seasons aus
picious beginning, is not going to be
a "slack er" this year.
TO facilitate handling each days
offerings it has been decided to start
the sales at 10:30 every morning.
Where necessary at either or both
warehouses second sales will be held,
but the first sale will always start
promptly at half past ten.

HYSTERIA NOT PATRIOTISM.

There those who would have believe that be-
the people Of this country not ablaze with
thusasm and shouting their patriotism from the house
tops they necessarily not in sympathy with the
program. But greater mistake in judgment
made.
The American people mass have regretted the
eessty for going to We had hoped against hope
shat could be avoided Even at this day there is
undercurrent of hope that in way, consistent with
honor the dire consequences OF felt by the Euro
pean nations may be avoided.
But while this hope is in the national heart there is
also in that heart GRIM deadly determination that
tain objects must be attained though sacrifice
equal or exceed that of the others.
Our people slow to arouse, yet only par
TALLY awake, but in the great heart Of the nation there
is steadily awakening that inherent loyalty to great
ideals that has carried triumphantly through every
crisis that has confronted This feeling is not
built upon froth 1t is not the result of ysteria 1t is
born and bred in U.s. and is as much part of
very life blood.
The attitude of the American people today is that of
facing duty--a very disagreeabe duty-but of
which there be fantest thought of shirking
evadng. We are coming to see before gigantic
task, but task upon the accomplishment Of which de-
for during the century and half of our existence
1t is the solemn realization of this task and the grim
deadly earnestness with which people setting
about it's accomplishment that has produced the land

Judges is due for astonishing awakening in the months
to come
Americans aroused are invncibe, and they know it.
Hence we have no need for hysteria.

FIGHT TO A DRAW IN FRANCE
Neither Germans or French Able to
Claim Superiority.

Neither Germans or French Able to
Claim Superiority.
Grand Headquarters of the French
Armies in France, July 23.-(Evcn-
ing.) The artillery of both the Ger
mans and French developed, if pos
sible, even more fury today along the
eastern end of the Chemin-De Danes,
but since the earliest hours of the
morning the infantry remained almost
entirely quiet since.
The Germans after midnight last
night made determined efforts to cap
tire the Classmates and California pla-
teaus. At Classmates they made a
slight impression on the flont of the
French line, but a vigorous counter
attack by the French troops, who
fought with the coolest courage,
wrcsted the greater part of the
ground back Neither side was able
to claim superiority.
The position on the California pla-
teau may be compared with that at
Hartmanns-W Weilerkopf, where the
Germans and French each held an
edge of the crest neither being able
to overlook the other. What remains
of the village of Craonne, which lies
below the southern slope of Ca!ifor-
ME plateau has been shelled so much
these days that the ruins contain
nearly as much metal as bricks.
During the early hours of the
morning each side was able to secure
small local successes, the Germans ex-
tending slightly the length Of the
trench they captured on California
while the French at Cerny and the
other extremity of the battle line
some prisoners.

Assistant Attorney General

We are also informed that the stat
utes Of this State require that in
towns the size of Manning, where a
vacancy occurs in the Mayors office
within sixty days of an election for
Mayor and Aldermen, it is discre-
tional with the council as to whether
they will order an election for a new
Mayor or whether the Mayor pro tenn
shall fill out the remaining sixty days.
In this case the vacancy occurs more
than sixty days from the general cleo
ton, so it seems that 1t is up to the
council to find out something about
their duties.

WHAT WILL Be DONE?

We have been asked by great
many of our citizens if we were not
going to have an election for mayor
in the near future. The understand
ing being that the present mayor had
accepted a position on the board of
Land Appraisers with salary at
tached, and that their conception of
the law was, that person could not
hold two public positions of pay. We
do not know anything about the elec-
tion, but we presume, since one Of the
aldermen has joined the army, his
seat will be vacant, and an election
will have to be called to fill this va
cancy. AS to the office Of mayor we
do not know the intentions of the
incumbent, but suppose both elections
will be had the same time. However,
the city attorney, Hon. j. H. Lesesne,
was asked his opinion, and after CIV
ing it, he wrote the Attorney General,
and the following letter from Hon.
C. N. Sapp, Assistant Attorney Cen
eral, comedies with the opinion of
WI. beSeSIlc. Liz lOllO"lllS lS Vic
ruling:
Columbia, S. c., May 4, 1917.
Hon. J. H. Lesesre,
Manning, S. G.
Dear Sir:
Your letter of the End inst. to the
Attorney General has been handed me
for attention. You ask to be advised
whether or not the acceptance by the
Mayor of Manning of the position of
Inspector for the Government under
the Federal Farm Loan Act would
vacate the Mayors Office.
In reply thereto l beg to advise
that l concur with the view as taken
in your letter, and am clearly of the
opinion that the two positions men,
toned come within the prohibited
class as contemplated by Section 2 of
Article II of the Constitution of 1896,
and the acceptance Of the position of
Inspector would automatically vacate
the Office of Mayor.
Yours very truly,

Ex-President Roosevelt had raised a vollln-'

of going to Europe, but this Democratic al

not!

The objection is political.
