GOVERNOR MANNING'S SONS

Greenwood Journal.
Former Governor Blease has as
sumed the role of critic to the army
uniform during the past week in
villifying Governor Manning's six
sons who are now in the service of
their country. Mr.. Blease has given
as one of his reasons for failure to
appear at the regular senatorial
meetings the "abuse" which is heap
ed upon him by his opponents, thus
trying to create the impression that
he is above such tactics.
But is he? Well, listen to this,
quoted from the Charleston Ameri-
cans report of a recent speech made
by him: "The governor brags that
he has five sons in the army. 1t is so.
Yet all of them are strutting about
in pretty uniforms and holding COM
missions and are in no more danger
of meeting bullets than this electric
light under which I stand"
The Columbia State yesterday
morning in its news columns pub
lished the following complete an
swer to Mr.. Blease's baseless state
ments:
That the public may know the
truth of the matter the following
information as to the standing and
whereabouts of Governor Manning's
sons is published:
wv. S. Manning is 33 years old.
He enlisted as a private when the
call was made for soldiers to go to
the border. He went to the border,
served as private until the troops
were ordered home. Upon the declar-
alton of war with Germany he again
enlisted as a private. Subsequently
he went to a training camp and won
a captains commission. He is now
in active service on the front in
France.
"Vivian Manning is 80 years old.
He was a successful business man
in Greenville. He closed up his bust
ness and volunteered as a private.
He is still la private and is at Camp
Taylor, Louisville, KY.
Bernard Manning is 29 years old.
He enlisted as a private, and subse-
quently went through the training
school at O%glethospe where he won
a captains commission. If he is
not now on the seas or in France it
will not be long before he will be
on the western front in active SER
vice.
"Wyndham M. Manning is %
years old. He graduated from West
Point in 1913. He served in Alaska,
and went to the border as captain
of a company of cavalry raised in
Charleston. When he returned from
the border he was assigned as an in
structor at O~glethorpe and has been
promoted to be major. He, too, if
not on his way to the Western front
will not be long in going.
"Burwell Deas Manning is 10
years old. He was at the University
of Virginia when war was declared.
He enlisted as a private. He is now
a corporal and is in France.
"John Adger Manning is IS years
old. He, too, was at school but vol
unteered as a private and is now a
sergeant at Camp Jackson. So soon
as his command is ordered to
France he will go, whether or not he
has already gone is only for the
authorities to know or say"

FRENCH MOTHERS
MOURN AMERICANS
American Heroes of Second Battle
of Marine Are Buried With
Honors.

Paris, July 26.-Four, five and in
many cases, six thousand miles from
their maternal hearth. the American
dead, heroes of the second battle of
the Marine who have succumbed from
| grievous wounds in Paris hospitals,
are mourned daily by French moth
ers, sisters and fathers who feel the
emotions of these heroes kindred at
home.
Daily, the funerals leave the city
hospitals for the little S%uresnes GEM
etery dedicated to Americans by
the city of Suresnes, located on a
hill on the west of Paris, overlook
ing the French metropolis. Daily,
the republican guard in thei. pictur-
esaue a, d historic military attire
march forth to the funeral to bestow
Frances regard upon these Ameri-
can heroes, and though no volley is
fired because it is forbidden by the
French authorities, the American
bugler sounds ''taps" with impress
sive toning.
A service is first held in the little
chapel in the hospital. Protestant
chaplains oficiate over the dead of
their faith and Catholic over theirs.
the hospital organization such as
can be spared, including nurses, or
derlies, clerks and doctors, attend
the service.
The bodies are borne from the
chapel to waiting ponderous army
motor trucks. The republican guard
and the marines form an escort. AS
each body to the conveyance, these
military units execute present
arms" When all the dead have been
placed upon their military bier, the
procession to the cemetery starts.
At the head are the, chaplains in.
motor cars. Then follow the motor
truck and last the guard honor.
The collins are draped with Am
erican flags. Each one bears two
wreaths, n given. by the republic
of France and another by the city
of Paris. Tricolor ribbons bind the
wreaths. In letters of gold, the
ribbons are marked "Aux Defenseurs
de la Patrie."
The little procession winds its way
along the boulevards. The French
know it's significance. Without ex-
ception as it passes, every pedestrian
stops, uncovers and bows in homage
to the American heroes.
Reaching the summit of the hill of
Suresnes, the interment of the
bodies begins. A crowd of French
mothers and sisters gathers at the
graves. They -everently listen to
the chaplains pronounce the last
words, and heavy of heart, they feel
the experience of those thousands of
miles away.
The American bugler takes his
place and slowly and feelingly
sounds "taps." The assemblage is
moved to tears. At the final tone,
the command is given and the mill
tary escort returns to it's post in the
city. The mothers and sisters re-
turn to their homes feeling the
heaviness of the cotnmittal of the
American heroes to the grave. Their
thoughts are carried to the mothers
and sisters back home.
The Suresnes cemetery is the gift
of the Suresnes municipality to the
American army. 1t is beautifully
situated in the midst of a cluster of
trees. The city of Paris can be
viewed from the location. The walks
are arranged in the form of a
cross. The surveying was done by
American engineers.

Ask any druggist for 35c or 81 bottle
