A good deal is being said about the execution of Sir Roger Casement in London last week. A good many harsh things are said about the Eng: lish government; but we fail to see that any blame attaches to Great Britain. It has been the custom or ^ practice for time immemorial to mete out the extreme penalty of the law to traitors. We may sympathize with & the condemned, but that does not alter the seriousness of turning traitor - to one's country. It is the irony of fate that decrees that a citizen of a country is a traitor if he fails in a revolutionary attempt, and a hero if U' he succeeds; but such is the case. As it stands, Sir Roger will always be termed a traitor to his codntry. Had the uprising succeeded, he would have been heralded in after yeays as one of the world's greatest patriots. The Herald wants a' live correspondent in every section of Bam* berg county. No news, if it is news, is ,too unimportant to print. The Herald is your county paper. If you will cooperate with us, we will give you the best county paper in the South. Look on the front page and read our notice to correspondents.

No paper l|: other than your county paper will |jP : give you the publicity your section should have. We want to publish | * every particle of news there is in Bamberg county, and we can do tltfs only by our friends sending it in. ? Not every person can write good lettere, it is true, but don't let that |||- hinder you. Do the best you can. We will edit the copy and print any [fey, news that is sent us. But be sure fe: to sign your name, not for publicaj|*:" tion, but for record in our office. We intend to develop our country cor??; Tespondence until we have a regular s ?1 correspondent in every section. And, jte maybe you know just the right pergte son to send us the news, if you can't do it. Let us have his or her name, and we will take the matter up with that person. If our friends will give [4 us some help along this line, we will J promise that The Herald will not only appreciate it, but will give Bamberg the best county newspaper that is possible. iv;- In a statement more than a column in length, Candidate R. A. Cooper explains in detail just what he said in Bamberg in reply to the questions propounded by Governor Manning, rv Mr. Cooper intimates that the reports published in the daily papers of the uamoerg meeting aia mm an injustice. The daily newspapers stated, in effect, that Mr. Cooper admitted that he would have acted in nearly every instance the same as Governor Manning did with regard to the leading " issues. The 'only matter of any importance that Mr. Cooper disagreed ~ with Mr. Manning on was that of supplementing the salary of the superintendent of the State Hospital for the Insane. For the sake of argument suppose that Mr. Manning erred. His worst enemies could only say that ii was an error of judgment, and an error growing out of a zeal for the welfare of the inmates of this institution, who most certainly were in a pitiable condition. We do not con cede that it was an error on Governor Manning's part at all; in fact we think that it was the only possible step for Mr. Manning to take to carry into effect the reforms in the hospital that he determined to carry out. You can accept the fact or not,-just I J V _ as you like, but the statistics show that the number of deaths in the institution showed a large decrease during Dr. Williams's first year. It is also a fact that Mr. Manning's programme of improvement at the hospital could not have been carried forward without increasing the salary of the superintendent?that is, the governor could not have secured the services of the man he believed to be the man for the place.But we do not think the governor's course in this respect needs any defense, and it is not our purpose to defend it. The simple statement of the accomplishments of Dr. Williams are entirely sufficient. But the main thing asked by Governor Manning?why Mr. Cooper is in the race?remains unanswered. Mr. Cooper merely replies that this is a free country and anybody can offer for an office. Nobody has disputed Mr. Cooper's right to enter the race, but this gives the voters no reason for his doing so. If he has only the good of the State at heart, it certainly seems proper for him to state why the people should not reelect Mr. Manning; for he and , Manning stood on the same platform two years ago. If Mr. Manning made good, and Mr. Cooper has not said that he did not, what claims have Mr. Cooper upon the office? "I DIE FOR >IY COUNTRY." Casement's Last Word as He Goes to His Death. London, August 3.?Roger Case^ ment, former British knight and consul, was hanged at 9 o'clock this morning in Pentonville jail for high treason. He was convicted of conspiring to cause an armed revolt in t?i J ?j ?jal T?? . u A. n lreianu aim wiui navmg suugm vtciman aid to that end. Before the execution a great crowd of men, women and children gathered before the prison gates. Twenty minutes before Casement mounted the scaffold the great prison bell commenced to toll. The sound was greeted with cheers from the crowd, mingled with some groans. At one minute after 9 o'clock a single stroke of the big bell announced that the trap had been sprung. It was the signal for a mocking, jeering yeli from the crowd which suddenly died away into silence. Casement met his death with calm courage, according to eyewitnesses. Early in the morning two priests of the Roman Catholic Church administered the last rites in the cell of the condemned man and shortly afterward a little procession headed by the clergymen with Casement following, a warden on either side, proceeded to the execution shed, only five yards away. . N Litany of the Dying. The priests recited the litany of the dying, Casement responding in low tones: "Lord have mercy on my soul." According to one of those present Casement's last words were: "I die for my country." As the party reached the ?hed where the gallows was erected the special executioner, a hair dresser named Ellis, approached Casement and quickly pinioned him. The two chaplains, the undersheriff of London and the undersheriff of Middlesex then took up their positions in front of the scaffold. Casement mounted the gallows steps firmly and commended his spirit to God as he stepped on the trap. A moment later the lever was pulled. Pronounced Dead. Immediately after the trap was sprung the prison engineer and physician descended into the pit where, after the application of the usual tests, Casement was pronounced dead at nine minutes after nine. According to the custom in the case of prisoners hanged for crimes similar to that of Casement his body will be buried in quick lime in the prison yard, but probably no decision as to the burial will be made until after' the inquest. An affecting incident took place outside the prison wall as the execu* tion was in progress. At the back ot the prison, a little distance from the jeering crowd about the gates, was a group of about thirty Irish men and women. When the dull clang of the' prison bell announced that the doomed man had paid the last penalty this little group fell on their knees and with bowed heads remained for some moments silently praying for the repose of the soul of their dead fellow countryman. Cotton Crop at 12,916,000 Bales. Washington, August 1.?Heavy damage to the growing cotton crop between June 25 and July 25 has causer! a rprlnntinn nf 1.350.000 bales in the prospective production.

Detroit, August 4.?Five unmask ed automobile bandits today held u] an automobile in which $50,000 pa; roll money was being taken to th< plant of the Burroughs Adding Ma chine company, and before astonishei guards could offer resistance snatch ed five bags of six in the car, sai< to have contained between $33,00< and $34,000, and escaped. The hold-up took place on Bur roughs avenue, between Woodwar< and Cash avenues in view of hun dreds of employees of nearby automo bile factories and the usual afternooi throngs on Woodward avenue. Rudolph Copper, a Burrough guard, who attempted to intercep the speeding bandit car, was sho through the thigh and struck on th< head with the butt end of a pistol. Witnesses declared that the fiv? bandits apparently ranged in ag< from 18 to 60 years. No one, how ever, seemed able to give a good de scription. They were armed wit] rifles and automatic pistols. A sec ond pay car, carrying $75,000, wa not molested. Eleven machines filled with officer tonight were scouring the surround ing country in every direction. Early tonight the bandits wen thought to have been cornered be tween Noyi and South Lyon, abou thirty miles northwest of the city, bu when officers from Detroit and Soutl Lyon closed in they found nothing. Riding in a large motor car witl part of the money for the week's pa; roll in bags on the floor, Thoma Sheehan, paymaster of the company was within half a block of the plan when a smaller car drovef alongside and four men jumped out demanding surrender of the money. Within two minutes after the ban dit car drew alongside the pay car th< former was racing away with the fivi cash bags. Russia is said to be the only war ring nation whose people are actual ly growing more prosperous during the conflict. SALADS IN SUMMER. f- Some Appetizing Dishes Suitable for G Hot Weather.
