THURSDAY, JULY 20TH, 1922. “POLITICAL HISTORY.” In an effort “to keep the record Htraiffht,” The Bamberg Herald cites some interesting election fig ures under the above caption in last week’s issue. The article was in re sponse to a claim made by “some people that Blease has carried Bam berg County in several of his ^ces.*’ It appears from the record that the ex-Govemor dij get a majority ?>f 38 in that county in 1910, when he was elected over Featherstone. In all of his other campaigns from 1900 down to date, Bamberg w?nt “agin ’im,” at times by a majority )f nearly 4 to 1. It is also interesting to note i n this connection that while Mr. Blease has been a candidate for State office continuously since 1910, with the ex ception of 1904 and 1920, a total of nine campaigns, he has been success ful only twice. His try-out again this year makes the sixth time he has run fo r Governor. In addition, he has offered twice for lieutenant gov ernor and twice for the United States Senate. It might he remarked in passing that Mr. Blease's candidacy ; n Barnwell County has not fared much better the past than it did in Bamberg County rttisen of EhrhaMt, died at his home there Toeaday evening j- bout 7 o'clock.

NOTH * Til t RBOmift* UNITED STATE* DUTOICT COt’HT The hot weather anj lark of ea- thustasm on the part of the voter* is causing some of the candtdatss for State offices to m<evtio«i the wis dom of “carrying on” with the bi ennial cirrus. The people as a whole are too busy making a living to get wrought up over the appeals of the seekers after public pap. We hope, however, that they are giving serious thought to the matter and that good men will he selected to steer the %hip of state for the next two years. The almost total lack of factionalism so far observed leads one to believe that ihe voters of South Carolina are fast returning to a safe and sane attitude toward politics. A man who is in position to know claims that California grows more lemons than any other state except the state of matrimony. When a town boasts these days that its jail is empty it b> merely handing a left-handed compliment to its police force. If “brevity is the soul of wit,” prese.it day styles in women’s wear should be a scream. SHERIFF MAKES RAIDS Sheriff C. K. Sanders made two raids Tuesday, capturing a 30-gallon capacity still near Ray’s Crossing and destroying about 100 gallons of beer on Hungry Hill Branch, from which the still had been moved. ) ■ ^v.
