THROWS HAT IN THE RING
Second District Congressman a Can
didate for Re-election.
i. . »■ • j •
The People this week carries the
formal announcment of Congressman
James F. 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 ,

Thirteen white prisoner* and one
guard at the State, penitentiary at
Columbia were hurt hy bullets and
buckshot Monday afternoon at 1:20
o’clock when 150 or more white con
victs made a bold outbreak in the
presence of armed guards and offi
cers. The three story building that
houses the chair factory was burning
in the basehient while the mutinous
prisoners were defying prison offi
cials. Fire hose was cut and the
armed force claim they were forced
to use guns and rifles in order to save
the building and contents and prevent
a wholesale prison delivery.
Statements by prison officials and
convicts point to a recent search and
subsequent action on the part of the
penitentiary authorities as the cause
of the outbreak—
