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.

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

Columbia, June 7.?Walter S.
Jones of 419 Hampton street and
John Wages, Sr., of 1507 Williams

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

explanation of the fact that he had
ignored the poison label. (
