Editor of The Manning Times: In view of the political campaign, which will take place in South Caro lina during the coming summer, it may be of interest to your readers for me to relate what I saw and heard on a recent trip to Gopher Prairie. On this trip to Gopher Prairie, I became acquainted with various groups of citizens, who were booming and boosting equally as many candidates for the Governor ship of the State. There was one group of citizens, who were advocat ing the election of Smith as the next Governor of the State. It appeared that Smith was born a poor boy, had 3n0 educational op)portunities, had taken up the occupation of farming, and knewv absolutely nothing about the economne and po)litical issues which confronted the people of Go phor Prairie, but Snmith had lived close to the soil, with his own hands lie had distributed fertilizer, barnyard andl stable marfure, and actually car j ed around wvith him the odor of stablle manure, had made sonie sue (ress at farming, was one of the boys and to the manor born31, and( therefore the citizens (if Gopher Pra1(irie argued with sore degree of energy that Smith would make a good Gover'nor. There was another group in1 Gopher I "airie, who were dlemandlinig very vo c iferously the election of Jones as the unext. Governor of the State. It uas true~ that .Jones could nei1ther read, nor wiite, had nlever hearid of t ho scien ces of sociology or political ecolongv hadl made(1 no( stud(y of the ii 3r-eaIte ',uestion of tatxaltion), had ne1 Iver reaIiz. ed that men(1 are both soc'ial and poh t ical 3animalIs and ha~ve certa in inter ests m1 cO3iommo whichi perforce they miust sel ve th rough the instrun01tal ity of the State, but Jones had cli ppedl the ear1S <of dIisemb loweled numerous Germ1ans5 ml No Man 3's Land1(, and ther~efore the citizenship of Gopher irim mivairiabily a pplaudedl when ever the nam o10(f JIones was mention id in conniection wvith the Giovernmor ship of the State. There was yet an3othler group) in1 Gop~her Pra3irlie, who ( were arden31t l - '""'er o05(f Richardi I Roe, who dIidl not ''Ilmm to lie a st atesnman, seldom read She dlaily ne(wspapers, knew nothing oI lhe vaIlinus uplift mo1vemenC~ts which opiera:to und3(er thle protection o nd trough the inlstrumenta lity of the Statet, but Rich ard htoe had acqu ir i'd coni35dera)ble expertns and5lil~ had accumulated some wvealth in follow hogs, and therefore the citienship of (;(pher Pri':rie assertedl with some1 dtegree of reasoni that if Richard'( Roe 'oub13 so) readily become an expert at ('astrating hogs, there was no intel ligent reason in the world why Rich ard Roe shouldl not miake an expert, and1( successful Gover'nor of the State. Bunt the mo3(st inte'restinlg and amui~s-. ing grouph in Go pher Prairie were the friends of John Doe. It. was as sorted wvith great, joy anud delight and3( in a very haughty manner103, that if John D~oe were elected the next. Gov ernor of the State, he would pardon all1 the rai'sits, mu1(rderers, violators of, the prohibition law, and other criminals, would veto all appropria-. tion Acts, discontinue t-he paymemt of ave prepared to meet your Capes, Coat Suit orth $15, for worth $18, for , worth $27.50, for _ 9.50 to to 9.95 to McCollum t.

I am just a bit inclined to believe that most of us are given to relying too much on the kind of Government i under which we live, in order to find i happiness. Several thousand years ago, a great Hebrew teacher estab- I lished the fact and the principle that I the kingdom of heaven is within a I man, that happiness can be found i only in and through hard work, and < that if any man would find happiness Speakin1 Yo Have You Too Much 1' Of course not.

Like my friends of Gopher Prairie, I have some admiration for such characters as Smith who carry around with them the odor of barn yard manure, or Jones who clipped the ears and disemboweled numerous Germans in No-Man's Land, or Rich ard Roe who became an expert at castrating hogs, or John Doe who could so audaciously fool so large a number of his fellow citizens, but with all due respect for my friends of Gopher Prairie, I could not honestly and without a. terrible wrenching of my rola conceptions of citizenship, vote for either Smith or Jones or Richard Roe or John Doe. Yours truly, J. J. Cantey. WATER SPREAD OVER GRAVELLY SOIL RECOVERED IN DROUGHT Ingenuity and resourcefulness are both working overtime for irrigation farmers in southern California. Wat er for irrigation has generally a higher value there than in any other section of the West, and has become so scarce that, in the absence of suit able reservoir sites where usual me .thods of storage might be put into efi'ect, the practice has grown up in recent years of spreading the flood waters over the gravelly dall wvhere the streams emerge from the nmoun tamns. Where this is done the under ground formations are such as to hold the water until it can be recov ered by pumping during the irrigation season. 'Upon request of conmmunities inter ested in the possibilities of this plan for their own dlevelopment, the Bu reau of Public Roads, United States Department of Agric'ulture, thrbugh its agricultural engineering division, recently made an informal survey of what has been accomplished so far by such :nderground storage, finding that the method is now practiced on about a dlozen streams in southern California and that it has been effec tive in raising the water level in the wells through a series of years, not withstanding the increasing dlemands made upon them by irrigation neces NOTl[IE OF D)ISCHARGE I wvill app~ly to the JTudge of Pro.. bate for Clarendon County on the 1st (lay of May, 1922, at -eleven o'clock A.
