Blease were defeated. The executive committe acted wisely in paying managers of the primary for their services. Tnese men put themselves to a lot of trouble and inconvenience, and they should be paid. Vote early next Tuesday, ami voie ior Heyward for Governor. He is a man of fine character, and will make an admirable chief executive. We can all be proud of Heyward as Governor. Heyward's own county of Colleton gave him 2,258 votes against 12 for Ansel, 16 for Talbert, 99 for Tillman and 8 for Timmerman?2,258 against 135. Is there another man in South Carolina who can get 94 per cent of the vote of his own county ? _ ? . - ^ Heyward is very grateful to* his Bamberg county friends for their hearty sup * port of him at the first primary. He hopes they will continue their efforts in his behalf next Tuesday. Let every friend of his be active, for the most disreputable schemes are being used to defeat him, and scores of falsehoods have been circulated about him. Hundreds of the best farmers of Colleton county have signed an address to the farmers of the State, calling on them to vote for Heyward for Governor. He is supported at his own home by all classes, t and his magnificent endorsement at the first primary shows the great confidence and esteem all his people have for him. We do not believe there is another man in South Carolina who could carry his ? home county so solidly. Jim Tillman has sent out circular letters to the men who were in the army with him, in which he makes clear the , . fact that he wants them to vote for W. J. Talbert. It is believed a deal has been wtorlA luivnon Tillman n.nd Talbert. as [as they had a conference in Columbia last Friday night and immediately afterwards Tillman issued this circular. Now those who want to endorse Jim Tillman can do so by voting for Talbert, as Tillman says in his circular letter that he is not opposed to Talbert. A rumor has been circulated in Bamberg that Capt. D. C. Heyward refused to rent a house to people who worked in the mills. A friend here wrote to him in reference to same, and Mr. Heyward says the statement is false; that he has never been fortunate enough to own a house to rent, only owning the one he lives in. Heyward carried all the votes of the cotton mill operatives in Walterboro, and this shows what the mill people of his home town think of him. This is only in line with other false rumors which k have been circulated against Heyward. The Official Figures.

To the voters of Bamberg county: Just prior to and on the day of the first primary a portion of a letter I wrote Dr. S. P. Rentz was exhibited to many persons and unfavorable comments were made to induce ballots to be cast against Mr. LaFitte. I wrote only one letter to l?r. Rentz, and in order that every voter in the county may know what. I said I set out tie letter in full, to wit: "Denmark, S. C., Aug. 2ud, 1902. "Dr. S. P. Rentz, Hartzog, 8. C.?Dear Doctor:?I have been intending for soiae time to go down and see you and visit my friends down on Buck Head, but various matters have prevented my doiugso until now I avail myself of this opportunity and write you. I want you to help cut in this campaign my friend, Mr. E. T. I.aFitte. He read law with me and Las been practicing in the town, aud I take pleasure in saying that during the whole time he was in my office and since he lias been admitted to practice, he has stood square aud done only those things which lawyers of the highest tone and sensibility would do. He has never taken I he part of the negro against w hites and has done a lare-e amount of charity practice. He will receive a very handsome vote at his home club, in fact there is little or no opposition to him at this box. He v.'ill also get an exceedingly line vote at Hightower's Mill club and the other clubs around him. I mention this in order that you might see the esteem in which he is held in his own neighborhood, at his own box, and the adjoining neighborhood. I do not say there will not be some votes cast against him, for I hold that it is impossible for any man to live and be active in a community without incurring the displeasure of some people, then again, some people desire to be opposed to the general trend of the neighborhood and will vote against a man simply because he is a home man; but I believe he will carry this box by an overwhelming majority, practically getting all of the votes. I do not think I am mistaken in this, as I have had some experience with the Denmark people and think that I know them as well as any one can, and have scarcely ever missed my estimate in elections. Please sec the people of Buck Head and also down in Fish Pond and teli them for me that I see my mistake in regard to that Magistrate's matter and am anxious to right it and will do them right in the next session of the general assembly, and that if friend Smoak wants the position that he shall have it, as he has beeu a man of the highest integrity and all that goes to make up manhood. Anything you can do for my friend LaFitte will be appreciated, and anything you can do against my friend Dr. Black will also be appreciated. I was sorry to learn of your loss. I have been through fire in my dwelling house, one in my father's house and lost my mill building and I know how to sympathize with a man who 1Vxaam ?Knt?A Ynt ire t rn 11? Uiia UCCil LUtlt, At/uio Kiuij, S. G. Mayfiele." The cause of my writing that letter was: Mr. LaFitte came to my office and stated that he had been down in Fish Pond and that Dr. Rent? told him a report was being circulated to the effect that the citizens of his owu community would not vote for him and that his home box would go against him.

The editor of this paper does not endorse and is not responsible for it.?Ed. Herald.] (From tbe Barnwell Sentinel.) Under the caption of "The Barnwell Sentinel and Mr. Bellinger," there appears in The Journal and Review, a paper published at Aiken, on the 20th. inst,, an editorial purporting to be a reply to our editorial comments on the Congressional race in the Second District, which, however, replied to nothing we had stated, either by way of denial or explanation. On tiie contrary, the editorial was intended purely as an unfair attack on General Bellinger on the eve of the first primary, at a time when it was impossible for us to reach the public with a reply before the day of the election. This purpose was in evident and striking contrast with our own issue of August 20th, which contained no comments on the candidates for Congress; lest there would be no opportunity for a reply to the comments before the election. This purpose of the Journal and Review is made plain, as well as the fact that the article was written by another than the editor of the paper, by the coincidence that a portiou of the same article appearedjalso in the issue of the Barnwell People of the same date as a communication signed "A friend of Col. Croft." On our calling for the name of the author the editor of The People in formed us that his correspondent was John C. Hutson, a local Aiken politician, an intimate associate of Col. Croft in all of his varied political adventures. This method of attack by an anonymous communication in the last issue of a paper to which no reply could be made before the election may seem as legitimate and honorable to politicians of their school as did their support of Sampson Pope, the Independent Republican, (who has left South Carolina in disgrace,) in order to defeat the regular Democratic nominee for Governor and the regular Democratic nominee for the United States Senator, B. R. Tillman, in the year 1894. But such methods of political warfare will be frowned down with contempt by the fairminded, loyal Democratic voters of the Second District. It is a matter of record that 110 man who was a special champion of the Pope Independent Movement has been elected to any place of trust in their part of the State; and what seems to have aroused the ire of Col. Croft's friend was a statement by us "That one of the candidates for Congress had supported the Pope Independent Movement." The truth of our very serious charge was openly admitted by Col. Croft at the meeting held at Barnwell a few weeks ago, as appears by the following affidavit of Mr. 0. H. Best: State of South Carolina, Barnwell County. Personallv appeared O. H. Best, who, being duly sworn says: "lam a native of South Carolina, and of the county of Barnwell, where I have lived for almost fifty years; that at the campaign meeting held at Barnwell 011 July 22nd, 11102, the candidates for Congress appeared and addressed the people; that during Col. Croft's speech I asked him publicly and before the entire people the following question: 'Col.

We did I not go, therefore, "out of our way to injure Col. Croft" when we brought the atI tention of the public to this material fact [ in his political record.

No manufacturing industry stands jo close to the farmer as the cotton seed oil mills. The Interest of the two ire mutual and Inseparable. A very large part of the products of the oil mills is now returned to the farm and practically all of It in some form can be utilized. The mill provides a profitable market for the surplus seed, and returns the product to the farmer, with greatly enhanced value In a finished condition. While the larger part of the business between the mill and the farmer is conducted on a basis of barter and exchange. it does not actually differ much in results from the toll system of the corn mill. The oil mill purchases the seed in the open market, and sells its products in the same way, but ultimately, all of the hulls and meal should get back to the farms from which the seed were shipped. While this is now the result In many cases, it is not as common or general as the practice should be. Every pound of these two products produced in the South should be returned to the land, either as fertilizer apniior? direct nr stock feed, the latter much to be preferred, as their value In that way is immensely increased. About 1830 a cotton seed oil mill was established at Columbia, S. C. Th$ historian of the time only considered it of sufficient importance to congratu-late the "public-spirited" citizen who had enterprise enough to establish the business, but did make the further comment that the owner "expressed from cotton seed a very fair grade of edible oil." No further reference is made to this beginning of the business, and it can only be inferred that the improper handling of the product, or the prejudices of the people against I this "edible oil," prevented it from being successful. In 1860 Aldigee found thousands of tons of seed dumped on the commons, and placed under guard to prevent the cows from eating them, as they were regarded as poisonous to cattle. From such conditions has grown a magnificent industry that has added millions to the value of Southern farms, increased the traffic of the railroads, established an immense foreign trade with this country, earned fair returns for its promoters, while giving employment to thousands of men at remunerative wages, many of whom otherwise would be idle at the season when their work is required at the mills. In all of this development the greatest benefits have been derived by the farmers. The mills have taken the seed which prior to their establishment, were either lost entirely or wastefully used, and converted them into valuable products, easily and economically handled, resulting in the cheaper production of crops, and increased yields per acre. Raising and fattening cattle has been one of the interesting features of this development. The fattening of cattle In the South for market, outside, perhaps, of the Texas ranges, was unknown before the extensive use of cotton seed hulls and meal. At present, almost every neighborhood is raising 3. lew neaa ojl uame mr me outuner on this feed, and in many sections, numbers of cattle are being fattened In this way. As this business increases it will be followed by the erection of packing houses in the South with all the -advantages of such industries. Any land-owner can make fattening cattle profitable. It has been chemically demonstrated, sustained bj^practicaletests that the droppings from cattle fed on cotton seed meal is equal in feeding value to the meal itself applied directly to the land. No other feed has any such comparative value. When this is considered, the immense advantages derived by the farmers from the establishment of cotton seed oil mills is realized even if no other benefits accrue, but when the abundance and cheapness of hulls is considered, and their value to the farmer and feeder recognized, some idea is given of the splendid work and advantages the other mills have accomplished towards the development of Southern agriculture. In almost any season, regardless of the price of seed and products, the mills of the Southern Cotton Oil Mill Company of the Carollnas and Georgia will give back to the farmers all of the meal and hulls produced from the seed in exchange for the seed, reserving only the oil, and small amount of short lint to cover transportation charges, cost of working, .interest on investment and profits. No more liberal division of the profits between manufacturers and consumer has ever been accomplished. It makes the business cooperative, returning to the farmer all -1? - '~ tn him In a trrfnt llltll IS U1 anj vaiuc lw uuu, ... ? ? ly Improved condition, and consequently greatly Increased in value, and leaving with the mill only that part of the seed universally regarded as detrimental in its natural condition, either as a feed or fertilizer, from which the mill must realize all of its expenses, including cost of working. The oil is converted at the refineries in Savannah into pure and wholesome substitutes for lard, known as "Palmatina" and "Snowdrift," and is given back to the consumers' table as a delicacy at a low price, or as a pure cooking oil, as Wesson Cooking Oil. The refuse or waste from the refined oil is made into a soap, and sold back at a cost that places it In the reach of the poorest. The. lint is made into quilts, pillows and mattresses and sold at a price that makes it possible for the bed-rooms of the humblest cottage to be comfortably furnished. In buying or raising cattle to be fattened on hulls and meal, every effort should be made to secure good beefproducing breeds. A prominent and successful packer is authority for the statement that the improved breeds will sell on foot for three times as much as the common stock. The consumption of beef in the South far exceeds any previous period. It can be met by home production if Southern farmers will use all the hulls and meal made by the oil mills, without drawing on the West. At present only about one-fourth of the cotton seed meal is consumed where it is produced for feeding and fertilizing crops, the balance finding a market either in Europe or in the Eastern or Western States. The cotton oil industry has been developed when it was most needed by the people of the South, especially by the Southern Cotton Oil Company, which has mills throughout the South and general headquarters at Columbia. S. C., Goldsboro, N. C., Charlotte, If. C., Atlanta, Ga., and Savannah and Augusta, Ga Its only danger is in being over-done. It should get to such proportions as to have the crushing capacity run ahead of the production of seed, or the production of oil increase faster than the consumption, the results would be disastrous both to the mill owners, and to the farmers. It is a business requiring a high order of commercial intelligence for its successful continuance, and it is manifestly to the interests of the manufacturer and to the farmer to keep it well within reasonable bounds.
