Brynes as a candidate ^tcr succeed himself, which definitely set tles all rumors that popular “Jimmie” would be an aspirant for gubernator ial honors this year. He needs no in troduction to the voters of Barnwell County, as he has grown into a fig ure of nationaL prominence during the years that he has served in the House of Representatives. •It is not known at this time wheth er or not Congressman Byrnes will have any opposition this year. It will be recalled that a Hampton County gentleman stated some time ago that he would make the race, but at this writing he has made no further an nouncement. Friends of the present incumbent are of the opinion that prospective candidater would do well to stop and look the ground ovor very carefully before listening foo -attent ively to the buzzing of the political bee.

CROPS IN THIS SECTION SUFFER WEATHER DAMAGE Cool Weather of Past Weeks Greatly Retards Growth. Crops of all kinds in' this section have suffered more or less from the cool weather of the past few weeks. While some farmers have cotton up to a good stand, the fields of others look “spotted,” and it is doubtful if re-planting at this late date will be profitable. Com is in need of work ing and grass is abundant in many fields. Heavy rains and floods in the West have done untold damage tocoLr ton, and many are ef the opinion that the yield this year will not greatly eceed that of 1921. A substantial increase in acreage was indicated over large part of the belt at the be ginning of the planting season, but owing to the fact that thousands of acres will have to be replanted, it is doubtful if any substantial increase is shown. The seasons in Texas are considerably earlier thin in this part of the belt, and if re-planting at this time in this section is unprofitable, it stands to reason that the boll weevil 1 would get most of the late crop be yond the Mississippi*. Then, too, cot ton is not receiving the heavy ferttlira lion that has been the rule in the j past. The “hears*' are making much ! over the fart that fertiliser sales have MARKED IMPROVEMENT IN MR. BgYANT’S CONDITION 1 i Just a Little More Money la Needed to Effect Permanent Cure. I was in Columbia last week-end and felt so much interest in Mr. Bry ant and the Abrams treatment that I called up Captain Fishbume, who has been cured by this method, hoping to learn from him more anout the treat ment, and was delighted to find that his wife had just returned from Chat tanooga, where she saw Mr. Bryant every day for two weeks. She tells me that Mr. Bryant is the happiest and most hopeful person she has ever seen; that the skin cancers are disap pearing and that the disease is being conquered; that his hardest fight is to regain his strength after the dis ease is over, his vitality having got ten so low that he had but little vital force left in him. But the fact that he has gained five pounds is proof positive that he is no: losing ground. She states that the doctor and nurses seem more interested in Mr. Bry*nt than any patient on- hand, that they | frequently talked about the efforts be ing made "back home” for this af-1 flirted man and that they were strug- 1 ghng at that end of the line to effect u cure as quickly as possible The , usual treatment i« ROSEMARY ITEMS.
