Thursday, August 20, 1914. v ~ i 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.

I have confined myself strict- by ) that record, and the differences cie he viewpoint of myself and Mr. em y in presenting that record is Sjt n as a personal attack by Mr. kn y.
