It is fortunate that Congressman
Byrnes has no opposition to amount
to anything this year, and he has
stayed in Washington attending to
his duties instead of making an active
campaign. He has not been able
on this account to meet many of his
Bamberg friends, but we feel sure
this county will roll up a tremendous
majority for him next Tuesday. His
record deserves our hearty endorsement,
and he is now in better position
to serve the second district than
ever before. As long as Jimmie
keeps up his present record, he ought
to be allowed to stay on the job without
opposition.
Bamberg county has a gentleman
in the race for lieutenant governor,
the first time in the history of the
county that we have had a candidate
for a State office. He is worthy and
competent, and we trust our mends
( throughout the State will give him
""-.I a large vote next Tuesday. If
appearances count for anything,
(Hunter will be the next lieutenant
governor.
There are a number of good men in
the race for governor, and it is really
1 ahard matter to choose between them.
Clinkscales has been a teacher all his
? life and has no experience in public
affairs, but he is a man of ability.
Manning is a man of fine character,
with extensive experience in matters
v of State, and possibly is the best
equipped man in the lot. He is a
successful farmer and business man,
and would bring to the office an
experience which would be of great
benefit to the State just at this time.
Yon make no mistake in voting for
i him.
Mr. Browning, a candidate for gov*
- ernor has "submitted to the press,"
including The Herald, a long attack
on the elimination conference. As it
^ plainly was written to boost that candidate
with a good many big "I's" in
onH nf Vio vin cr ooonmnoninH co rr?a
Jlv auu uvw axctvaug) avvvuij/aui^u muiv
with a check, it does cot appear in
this newspaper. We do not fancy this
candidate is in the habit of giving
his time and talent free of charge?as
he is rather wealthy?just so this
paper cannot and does not give its
stock in trade away for the asking,
inasmuch as we, too, have ambition
some day to be able to stem
the hde of adversity if such
overtakes us. Anyway, we think
it is just about time men callable
should stop trying to make
capital out of the actions of others.
We do not, and have not believed
that the men who composed the
elimination conference were governed
by other than patriotic motives.
^ ^ ^ ?
We trust that Bamberg county will
give Senator E. D. Smith a strong
endorsement at the polls next Tuesday.
He has been in the Senate one
term, and during that time has made
a fine record. In his race six years
ago he carried this county by a
tremendous majority, and we ought
to do as well or better by him this
year. He is unquestionably the best
equipped man in the race, and be;
cause of his six years' service is in
position to serve the State better
I than ever before. He has been loyal
to the people and deserves re-election.
Under present conditions in national
affairs, it is highly important that we
should elect one whose first consideration
is for the man who produces
the food we eat and the clothes
we wear. The farmers will make a
grave mistake if they vote for a
lawyer for the United States Senate
instead of a farmer. Smith has been
a faithful public servant, and this
statement we have not yet heard
disputed by any man who earns his
t living by the sweat of his brow.
