Sfie jeralO anil Jem lateral at tk? PottoSca at Ntw? | *wry, 3. C., es 2nd class mattar. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Tuesday, June 13, 1922. We notice in the papers that a Mr. - 3 t/irv S. W. Adams 01 Georgia maue n?u bales of cotton last year on 110 acres of land and the boll weevil was rampant in all his section. And he also says that 52 plows on his place worked by renters made only GO bales and not enough to pay rent. He says he did not use any poison and only used about 200 pounds of fertilizer to the acre. j The question is, how did he do it. He 6ays the job was accomplished by work and picking up what of the shapes that were thrown off by the weevil that he could, but his main recipe is work. He says he plowed his cotton twice a week and sometimes three times a week. That is Mr. ^ rpfirip and that iS ustai x cicuuii s, 4 w.r? what we told the man who is working a small farm for us this year. Be sure to plow the cotton twice a week. Go around it the early part of the week and then "bust" out the .niddles the latter part of the week. But this Georgia farmer adds to his statement *that he will not foe able to do that this year because of the constant rains. The trouble with the cotton farmer nas aiw#ys aecii m i/iaul,u.6 more acres than be can work a? it should be worked, even in days before the boll weevil came to tow,i. We have been too much ir. the habit of just planting and not working, j There -does not seem to be the usual rush for office this year, either county or state. When the times are hard and the people are complaining it generally happens that the .%rop of candidates is fine, but not so this year, unless the ranks should fill up as the time for filing pledges draws nearer to a close, ?i making a campaign may keep some cut. The assessments for the expenses of the campaign are generally very high,' and in fact, higher than they should be. We agree with The State, we believe it was, who said that the plan of assessment of candidates to bear the expense of running the primary election machinery is fundamentally wrong. The expense of this election should be borne just as the expensej of the general election is, ir^tead of kn nraptirp of assessing candidates WiV ^ to meet this expepnse. For govrnor there are some four j or five who have signed up. We have \ not the names before us but as we -recall, those who ' have signed are ,?ole L. Blease, John E. Swearingen, Thos. G. McLeod, Geo K. Laney, John T. Duncan. For lieutenant governor only one, J. K. Owen. For state superintendent of education there are several who have signed and who TT A are mentioned. James n. nope, v^. D. Seay. Paul Moore have signed, and Mr. Seigler of Aiken and Mr. Geo.1 D. Brown of Newberry are also mentioned as certain to enter the race.! i For adjutant and inspector general there are two who have signed. N The other state officers so far have no opposition. i In only three of the congressional districts have there been any who have signed up as opposing the prec-' ent congressmen. In county offices the only job that seems to :be desired is that of magistrate at Newberry. The most important office at this time is that of state superintendent of education. We do desire to see a good and competent man get that job. The forward going of the schools of the state depends very' largely upon the enthusiasm and the i ability and the energy and the effi-j ciency of the man whom the people I select for this most important post. Is there anything of more importance' to the country at this time than the education and training of the youth. The Herald and News hopes that the campaign will be conducted on j the right sort of plane and that it. may be what it is intended to be, a i sort of education of the people and I not a harangue of bitterness and charges such as we have seen in this ; state. The Southern Railway has at last fixed the underpass on the highway) just below Prosperity, and it took} only a few hours to do the job. It has j the appearance of having been done! by a pouting boy who has been fore-; ed to do something he didn't want to, he just goes and throws it together J so as to comply with what he has to j and to make it look lust as bad: as he can to get by with it. What we mean to say is, that if the railroad haf felt like cooperating with the highway commission and the people of the county and those who travel, the bentc could have been r placed on an angle somewhat with the angle in the highway and especially the one toward Prosperity, and they would have been just as strong and so much loetter for the traveling public on the highway. But the main thing is it should have been fixed long ago, and when it was done it should have been well done, the well having reference to the stability and also to the appearance and convenience of the people who travel the highway. A TRIP HOME I had not been home since the 19th of May, so I decided that I would run over Sunday morning for breakfast and get back in Newberry for dinner. Then my three boys and their mother decided they would like to go along, so I could not get off on my schedule and it resulted in my getting over to the old home :\'oout 12 o'clock instead of seven as I had planned. But they were not the whole cause of the deiav. My car seemed to be in good condition. It had iust come from the doctor the afternoon before and was running fine. But you know you can never tell about these cars and automobiles, even the highest priced of them. They go fine while they go ''out when they are dead they are about the deadest thing you can find. i Tires will wear out and inner tubes will rot even while on the inner side of the casing, and when the&do you may expect trouble. 1 was moving along fine and just as I was going up the rise this side of the Reagan school house there was a no^so like a pistol shot, and one of my rear tires had "iblowed out,'' I believe that ;s what they call it. I had an "extr.v' and it was not much of a job to make the change and I was soon going again, and I felt if I should have another there would sure enough Oe trouble, and these auto troubles hko anio all other troubles, seem lo_ "Lrav-el in groups. And sure enough jus: after I had gotten to the top of the r.ill beyond the river in Greenwood cciinty there was another pistol shot, ind the other rear tire had "blowed out." But fotunately I had an extra inner tube but it was a greater job to change tires than to change where the tire | was all ready just to put on. And the, j- i-i.:- i.:_j ...l 4-U^.r ^ trouuies 01 tins mjiu wucu iuisy uv come always come in the hottest part of the road. But I mended it and went on. And fortunately I had no further trouble on the trip. Every one that passed me offered to give me kelp, b.Rt this was a time when I really did not need much help, but I appreciate the kind offers of the travelers. The road to Chappells is in fine condition and the contractor on the section from Chappells to the river has pitched his tent and the work has begun, and I am happy to believe that it will not be long now until that part of road is completed, and that will make the journey over home an easy one and will save much time. Tbfi builder is still at work on the bridge over Bush river and it should not be near as long as it has 'been before this bridge is completed. I found the folk at home all well, and they were looking for me, though I had given no intimation that I was coming. My father said he had about give me out, but somehow he felt during the morning that I was coming. He is much better and is able to walk about the yard though he says his back still gives him some trouble. Mother is well and as young as ever and able to help with the cooking and the house work and takes great pleasure in the doing of it. It was a great pleasure to find them so well and in such fine spirit. If we should all live and keep well for a few more weeks I am going to take off that week that I have been promising myself to do, and spend it over in that section, and we will just ride around and visit the old scenes and note the changes that the years have brought. And they can tell me of the old people who lived in that section. Their memory is good and they can go back in recounting the local history for near on to eighty years. The crops along the road are very grassy and need work. Up around Dyson there has been a great deal of rain and that land does not dry up fast and about the time it was in condition to plow another rain would come, and as a result the farmers up this side are very much behind with their work. And the same thing: is true on some of the farms on the Newberry side, but not so bad, it seemed to me. The oats crop has been very good and has been harvested in fairly good shape. The wheat is not so good, 'but there was much more planted than heretofore, and it looks like there is going to be plenty of 'bread in the country. In some places the corn is looking well and there has been planted a fairly good [acreage. Seeing all this harvesting land the wheat in the shock ami the I thresher ready to move takes me 'back to the days at the old mill when we were at this season getting everything ready to start the wheels to rolling, and when they once started they kept going for nearly or quite two months, day and night until something like 20,000 to 30,000 bushels of wheat had been turned into ' flour and the people had something I good to eat. Now the roller mills and I the pure white flour has taken the ; place of this really good and nour, ishing flour, whether quite so white or I not. | E. H. A. MASKED MEN SEIZE ANDERSON COUPLE Warning Given After Drive Into the Country.?Regalia That of v Klan | Anderson, June 8?Robert W. Sullivan, prominent young business man of this city, and Miss Ruby Floyd were taken from an automobile in front of the young woman's home tonight by masked and white robed men and after being driven three or four miles in the country were warned not to be seen together in public again, y The two were brought back within a few blocks of the young woman's home and put out a'bout 45 minutes later. Reports were current tonight that a whipping had been administered to Mr. Sullivan, but he denied that he with. He told DO IlttU UCCI1 lliuo uvu.. .. lice that he had been warned not to be seen in company with the young woman again. About ten o'clock two cars filled with masked men drove up behind the car of Mr. Sullivan in front of the' home of Mrs. Ada Floyd, the young woman's mother, on east Benson street. One group of men seized u- c".. .TrVd'lo nthprs took iVir. OUUiV an vtuuv Mies Floyd in charge and the two cars were then driven rapidly away. Mr. Sullivan .and Miss Floyd say they were taken three or four miles into 1 the country where the warning was given. Anderson, Jue 8.?Robert W. Sullivan, secretary of the Orr cotton mills, and Miss Ruby Floyd were kidnaped from an automobile; in front of the young woman's home here late tonight by a band of masked men who "gave them a lecture," as they described it. > I Tne man was warned not to be seen in Miss Floyd's company again, he told police, but he denied reports that had reached them that he had been beaten. He and Miss Floyd and the latter's mother, Mrs. Ada Floyd, informed the police that the men were dressed in regalia resembling that of the Ku Klux Klan, and Miss Floyd asserted she was positive one of the men was a negro. The coupfe said they thought they wuld be unable to identify any of their adductors. ' qi vflai'e nf bullivan, wno is ituuui ux age and in addition to his business connection is secretary and treasurer of the South Carolia Cotton Manu-1 facturers' association, was recently taken in custody at the home of Miss Floyd but no charges were made. A charge of "disorderly conduct" was made against her, however, as a result of remarks attributed to ir? a conversation with a r.e.ig-h bor who had complained to the police. She is about 18 years old. ' , The masked band came up tonight in two automobiles and four men put Sullivan in one machine while three took Miss Floyd in the other and rapidly left town. Police were informed by Mrs. Floyd but the only clue they had until the couple returned was ine marks of struggle around the cars. They were unable to ascertain which way the cars went. j ! Poisoned Drink Kills Two Columbia, June 7.?Walter S. Jones of 419 Hampton street and John Wages, Sr., of 1507 Williams street are dead and John Wages, Jr., of Brookland is seriously ill, all three poisoned by denatured alcohol, used as a beverage. Mr. Jones died at the Columbia hospital at noon yesterday TTT nf- his res and Jonn wages, ox., <u?v.v. ? idence on Williams street at 9 o'clock Monday night. John Wages, Jr., is gradually improving and it is now thought that he will recover. One bottle of the denatured alcohol, according to John Wages, Jr., was purchased from a drug store Monday morning. This bottle, labeled "poison," with the bottle taken from Mr. Jones, is now in possession f Dr. Watson Talbert, city physician. Joh Wages, Jr., who is still .suffering from the effects of the poison, admitted that he had taken a drink of the ilcohol. "I can't read," he said in explanation of the fact that he had ignored the poison label. ( 1 ' ! ! ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ' ^ I U ROTARY NOTES ^ <s> <?> | ^> ^ <$> 'S' <S> ^ <S> <S> ^ $-<$><$><?> ? ^ 'S' !
