MANNING! 5:_ Law and order has triumphed. Good government has won the hardest fought battle since 1876, and the Tn"of victory since the V 4JUI/0W lAXi^VA VMMv - ^ State was redeemed from radical rule was won at the polls yesterday. The 0:/ issue before the people of the State c^V. Tuesday was whether or not the programme of law enforcement, as promulgated by Governor Manning two years ago, was to continue. The voice of the people has spokfv en.. Governor Manning, we hail you |pVv as one of the great Democratic govf, ernors of these United States of America. May the old ship of State continue on her way, unhampered and unhindered. Now that the elections are all over, we renew our suggestion made some j time ago, that the county commissioners contract with the farmers to drag the roads of the county. Let J every few miles of road be assigned j /. to some farmer with teams, so that ? | it may be dragged after every rain, or as often as the needs of the road make it necessary. In this way every ?&mile of good roads already built may be maintained at a minimum of cost. One team, we are informed, can easily drag several miles of road in one day. Roads so dragged will be kept f in good condition, and save the county a lot of money in repairs, because a drag will repair an ordinary road, S if it is not in too bad a condition. This is written before the primary election was held, and we have no idea what the result of the primary will be. After the first primary the vigilance committee of the citizens' mass meeting prepared a statement for the newspapers, in which the committee stated that it had sufficiently investigated certain reports of liquor being used in the primary to justify it in fearing that there was - - * _ iounaation ror sucn reports. ine statement went on to say that it did not wish to prejudice the candidacy of any candidate, and for this reason would defer taking any action toward prosecution until after the second primary. By the time this is read the primary will have been over and the results probably known. We hope that the committee will not now drop the matter. It is due each one of the candidates in the first and sec7 ond primaries that these charges be m thoroughly investigated and such action as may be necessary taken to punish the guilty parties, if such there be. If there was liquor or any other illegal methods used, in either primary, the matter should be cleared up, and the guilt placed where it belongs. We have no idea that the committee expects to drop the matter, for it is composed of men whose purpose cannot be doubted. At the time the statement was published, we deemed it out of place for any editorial comment to be made, as the statement covered the matter thor oughly. The Herald has, of course, not investigated any of the reports, and has no first-hand information relative to the use of whiskey or money in the primary, but we stand squarely with the committee in the wish to have clean elections and believe any infractions of the primary laws should be punished, and the name of every candidate not connected with the alleged violations should be cleared of any connection therewith. The county chairman has pledged his cooperation, and we trust that all charges and rumors will be speedily cleared up. COUNTRY NEWS LETTERS SOME INTERESTING HAPPENINGS IN VARIOUS SECTIONS.

All the folks returned to their homes saying they had a jolly time. Crystal Spring Clippings. ( Crystal Spring, Sept. 11.?This week the nights and mornings make us think that fall is here. A picnic was given at Crystal Spring on the fifth in honor of Miss Maggie Padgett, as that day was her birthday. Quite a number enjoyed the day. Mrs. Wannie Goodwin Steedly and brother, Mr. Frank Goodwin, of Brier Creek, were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. S. M. Goodwin Saturday and Sunday. Messrs. C. K. Smoak and C. W. Smoak are visitors in Bamberg today. Mr. and Mrs. Elige Goodwin and \ * j Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Smoak were the! guests of Mr. S. M. Goodwin and family Sunday. Little Ansle Hughes, who is ill again, is not getting along very well, but we hope thatx he will soon be well again. Mr. J. T. Smoak is visiting friends and relatives at Denmark this week. Ehrhardt Etchings. Ehrhardt, Sept. 11.?My! Where is our Herald correspondent? Have not seen much news from here since last spring. To be sure, it was not sent in. Why can't some of us back from the mountains, springs, or have become tired : resting, furnish this newsy paper with the happenings in and around our little "city?" and is always disappointed to see there is no news from Ehrhardt. Our school opened last Monday with a good enrollment in all the departments and this session promises to be the best in the history of the school. Prof. Hucks has advanced the standard of the school two grades (from the 9th to the 11th.) These advanced grades kept some home that were thinking of going to college this year, as the home school is much cheaper. For one to finish ; school now at this place means about two years at college to get one a col- ' legiate diploma. The farmers are rushing their cotton, ginning and selling, as fast as it can be gathered and if the fine dryweather continues for about two weeks longer this work will be over. Larger crops (of all kinds) were made this year than last and about 10 days ahead of the usual season. The Carolina Gin Co. has ginned about 1,200 bales so far, which is a large number for this section for so early a date: the prices for cotton and seed are getting the farmers in fine shape (financially) and they are all jubilant over their year's work. Nearly every one has paid up his accounts and you can see "bank books" in the pockets of both white and colored farmers now. The railroad facilities here for handling the shipments of cotton have been taxed beyond their capacity, as a large amount of cotton has been placed on the ground?the shed and platform being too small. It would require at least a third more platform room to fully accommodate the rush like there has been for the past two weeks. The growth of the town still continues. Several dwellings have been built this year. L. 1VI. Hiers and Sons have erected a handsome brick store, and now Mr. S. W. Copeland is preparing to build a store house on the north side of his present store, moving the old wooden building that is now there to the rear. Success seems to succeed down this way?all except the school house. Mr. J. C. Kinard came home about ten days ago from Charleston, where he was under special treatment for a large carbuncle on his neck, which caused blood poisoning. Mr. Kinard was critically ill for some time and it was feared that his recovery was doubtful, but he has been spared and is now doing fine and with no back set will soon be able to join the boys with the "rod and reel" and make up his lost time. Mr. Kinard is the city's present mayor, having been for several years past. Well, tomorrow is election day again, which will satisfy some, as far as being elected is concerned. The governorship race between Messrs. Manning and Blease being the hardest fought. Some folks are working hard for the wrong man, but we sincerely hope the right one will get the job. There is lot of money in circulation now and for "booze" to be easily secured will cause plenty of trouble?we will soon know who is who. What has become of Col. Brabham, the colored cotton "specialist?" We have not seen anything from him regarding this year's success or failure with growing the different shades, as he promised last year that he was going to accomplish. May be he is at the border, or will tell us about it when the election is over. According to the present styles (with cotton goods) if Mr. Brabham will just grow enough colors to have a big black, pink, yellow or green stripe (descending or ascending the skirt, or circling the waist) every now and tnen, ne Will De every woman ? man. Messrs. C. Ehrhardt and J. E. Folk rallied forth last week and tried tc catch out the entire finny tribe at Howell's Old Mill. They caught some nice perch and jack. Just before leaving time Mr. Folk landed an old "mud" that tipped the scales at four and one-half pounds. He says to pull a fish like that with a long line through bushes and snags with one hand and fight mosquitoes with the other is some job. Getting or to fish stories; guess it is time tc stop. It was noticed a few weeks age that Mr. Chas. Henerey, bookkeeper at the Farmers & Merchants bank, was looking after The Herald's interests down here. We thought then that Mr. Henerv was going to furnish some good news letters for the paper, but so far he has failed to contribute any. Guess he is getting all that he can do this time of season at his post of duty. Mr. Henery is a worthy young man and we don't think; The Herald could have gotten came down last week on a visit tc any better man for this work. Mrs. L. P. McMillan, of Bamberg, her parents, Mr. and Mrs. F. G. Lemacks. Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Ehrhardt and Mrs. Jacob Ehrhardt motored up to Newberry last Tuesday on a visit to friends and relatives, returning home Saturday. Messrs. Stacy Kearse, Raleigh Kinard and Harry Copeland visited the city by the sea Sunday evening, returning early Monday morning, making the trip in an auto. Olar News.
