THE SENATORIAL RACE

Columbia. June 2.--Thc admission
Of the truth has been forced at last
Governor Manning took trip to
Washington and told them there he
was scared Bleasc would beat Till
man, and then he urged Lever to get
into the race-and Tillman has found
out all about it, and has secured let
ters from the president and the post
master general and published them,
that the administration in Washinp
ton is not supporting Lever and will
not take any hand in the matter as
between the senator and the congress-
man.
Manning's hand has been forced up-
the table and it shows just how he
has been dealing, and it also in
dlcates how Lever was brought into
the race, sacrifice upon the altar of
q bitter partisan spirit in this state
which would go to any extent to de-
feat BlcaSc, and which did 90 to the
extent of misleading Lever out of the
charm" m"nship OF the great agricultural
committee Of the national house of
representatives, IN this time Of stress
and strain to come down to South
Carolina as buffer between Bleasc
ana Tillman. without the ghost of a

even If there should be a second race.
They didn't have anybody fooled,
except Mr.. Lever, and those who have
not been on the ground watching their
peculiar Vaccinations and chicancrv,
but it is gratifying to have the adj
mission, for the sake of the entire
record
-, 1t was stated in this correspondence
this mOrninp.
"Therc is no question that Mr.. lev
er was mislcd into the race, in some
part, at least, by those who were on
posed to Mr.. Bleasc, but who rccor-
nlZed his strength and were very much
convinced against their will that
Bieasc was going to defeat Tillman
Ihcy wanted some one else to fail

him, to help defeat Mr.. Blcasc. They

One Interest to Our Readers

Good news bears repeating, and
when it is confirmed after long
lapse Of time, even if we hcsitatcd to
believe it at first hearing, we feel Sc
cure in accepting its truth now. The
following experience OF Manning
women is confirmed after seven years,
Mrs: Joe Wells, So. Boundary St,
gave the following statement January
30, 1911: 'T have been greatly relieved
and benefited by Doan's Kidney Pills.

ed also with dull backaches. was al :.

spells. Doan's Kidney Pills, however,
soon proved just what | needed for in
4 short time | was free from those
troubles" ''''"'
OVER SEVEN YEARS LATER or
on February Is, 1918, Mrs. Wells
said: II can always say that Doan's
Kidney Pi Is are without a doubt the
best remedy on the market. Anvthin~
as good as Doan's Kidney Pills is

Manning to Tillman

=, Columbia, S. c., June l, 1918.
Hon. b. r. Tillman, Senate Chamber.
Washington, d. G..
Dear Sir:
You letter, dated the 22nd of Nav.
and postmarRed the 9th, has been re-
celvcd, and l am replying thereto
promptly.
In the first place, resent your i'm
putatlon as to my patriotism and
motives, but my respect for your
years lmpels me not % notice further
this part Of your letter. This is a
tlmc; however, if / mayremark It,
which demands self-abnegation, and
the subordination of selfish or ambi
tious aims.
shall answer your inquiry with
entire frankness, as | have nothing to
conceal, though / do not admit Your
right to question me on this matter.
You have been quoted as saving
that your health was such as to pre
clude the possibility of your making
county to-county campaign in your
race Tor the senate, and from what I
nave seen OF you, | believe that this
IS true. Blease, an announced candi
date for the United States senate. NV
opinion was, and is, that it is i'm
perativc for him to be met in debate
at every meeting, so as to keep the
true ana vital issues of the war, and
loyalty to our country and government
before the people; that as you could
not make the campaign and meet
Bleasc IN debate, and keep the true
issue fully and forcbly before the
pubic, some one must be in the race
to 40 this; and we in South Carolina
could not take chance on the issue.
that 1t was state and national duty
to see to it that South Carolina was
represented in the United States SEN
ate by one who was, and is, loyaI to
the United States and strong sun
porter of President Wilson and his ad-
mlnistration. Bleasc does not fill these
requirements.
The announcement of your candi-
dacy III your present state of health
has earned deep concern to MANY
earnest men in this state, since it is
plain to all how dangerous our posi-
tion would be if your physical
strength is insufficient. I was one of
a large number who wrote Mr.. Lever
to enter the race. My reasons for
this action are stated above, but 7 am
not responsible for his announcement.
since | am informed that he sought
advice of men in every quarter of the
state before making his decision.
| believe that you have been loyal
to the president and sound on the war
