We hope that immediate steps will ^
be taken to errect suitable ware- 3
houses for the housing of the cotton (
crop. The present price of about .
8 1-2 cents is nothing like what the .
S>UtpiW 1 & WU1L11. I
The voters have one more primary,' j
and then we may settle down to busi- 1
ness once more. It is very unfor- <
. tunate that strife and factionalism
has invaded the State to the extent 5
that it has, and we trust that the peo- 1
pie will become united, 60 that they >
mav work for the betterment and '
^uplift of South Carolina. A family J
divided within itself is not likely to 1
make material progress in the world's !
commerce.
The financing of the cotton crop 1
produces a momentous problem to i
the American people. The govern- i
ment is endeavoring in every way j
to assist the farmers through the ]
crisis brought on by the war in Eu- j
rope, but it is a hard problem to :
X solve. The president has expressed ;
hia willingness to lend any aid pos'
sible. The president is a Southern '
man, and who is in deep sympathy 1
with any movement to help the <
South, and the farmers may feel as- i
sured that any effort that the government
can make to aid in the crop i
movement will meet with the ap- :
proval of the chief executive.

THE HERALD'S CHANGE.
I I :
The Bamberg Herald is now under
new management. Editor Knight
has leased the paper to Messrs. R.
M. Hitt and R. M. Bruce, who will
continue the publication. Mr. Knight
claims that his duties as postmaster'
require his entire time, hence the [
change. We welcome these young ,
men into the newspaper field and ,
trust their stay will be long, pleasant
and profitable.?Dorchester,Eagle.
Editor A. W; Knight has turned I
the management of The Bamberg
Herald over to Messrs. R. M. Hitt ]

his energies to the postmastership.

How the Horse Won.
A few days after the new farmer
had purchased a horse from a thrifty '
Scot he returned in an angry mood.
"You told me this horse had won
half a dozen matches against some of
the. best horses in the country. He
can't trot a mile in six minutes to
save himself. You lied to me!" he
denounced. (
"I didna lie. It was in ploughing
matches he took sax prizes." calmly
replied Sandy.
Following His l^euri.
Young William received a new
diary for a birthday p.resent and was
encuurageu uv niuiiit u<
down each day's doings.
The first day lie wrote. "Got up at
7." and then continued to record
incidents of the day. At his mother's
suggestion he took it to his teacher
for approval.
She criticised his first phrase.
/ "Don't say, 'Got up,' William," she
said. "The sun doesn't get up: it
rises."
t'pon retiring that night William
remembered his teacher's instruction
and wrote with much care in his
diary, "Set at 9."
I
INTELLIGENT REST.
Consists Mainly in Variety of Employment.
Fortunate is the man who knows
how to rest. To know how to take a
vacation is not the least among the
gifts of the living. Herbert Spencer
told us many years ago that we lived
too fast. Carlyle's man who sings at
his work is the exception. The man
who loves his labor works better, and,
other things equal, lives longer than
the man who worries with his work.
Honest work is a stimulating mental
and physical exercise. Men die not
of overwork, but of overworrv. They
who live two days at a time shorten
their lives.
Repose is not an American gift.
The quiet hour, like the calm sea.
is exceptional. Nobody can doubt
the physical and moral value of the
stilled thunder. To be quiet sometimes
is to be more efficient. The
children in the kindergarten are
taught to be silent for a period. Silonr?o
ic ac frrant a ?ift as action. Old
Faithful, the geyser in the Yellowstone,
spouts for three-quarters of an
hour then rests. The pulse of the
blood is interspersed with life-giving
pauses.
Rest is mental. When the mind
wearies, the body relaxes. Drudgery
is mental monotony. The climate of
the mind loses its distinct seasons
svhen drudgery steals away vivacity,
and variety. Idleness is not rest, but
rust. A change pt air refreshes the
svhole man. "What most people need
for a vacation is a new duty, not a
aew climate. If you would rid yourself
of an old trouble and escape from
i galling condition, take up a new
:ask. Inaction leads to atrophy. Rust
ioes as much harm as friction. There
is no reward for the idler whether he
be rich or poor. The lazy man is seliom
an optimist.
Rest is more than mental; i.t is
spiritual. One cannot rest on bayonet
points or coals of fire. The summer
peace of the soul is the basis for
the rest that gives life. Our L8*d
never separated physical well-being
from spiritual conditions. He went
tway to mountain and sea to replenish
his physical strength, but this
involved a spiritual experience. A
tired body can never find rest while
in it rages the restless fires of a spiritual
hell. The peace of God within
is the beginning of outward harmony.
Here is the secret of repose, and what
is repose but faith in things imperishable?
Repose is spiritual assurance.
Good health begins in the heart.
The ozone of the sea may make the
blood tingle with a new life, but the
surf never reaches the spirit except
as a transient stimulant. The peaceful
mind, like a ship swinging to an
anchor dropped into the deeper sea,
is immune from the greater dangers.
When you go away on your vacation
take that feverish mind with you, and
the spirit that needs the divine sunshine.?Philadelphia
Ledger.
Man and Starched Collar
The papers report that a league
has been formed to "emancipate man
from the starched collar.
Nonsense! Man does not need any
such emancipation, except on some
ovtm hnt rinvs in summer, and then
he emancipates himself.
There is more nigral support, more
re-enforcement of character, in a
ftarched collar than can be had in
any other form foi>the same money.
The starched collar is the badge of
European civilization. Asia never
developed it. Neither did Africa.
The Chinese have had civilization for
1.000 years, but no starched collar.
It has gone to the laundry.
The Hindoos are kind to animals
and a thoughtful people, but they
have never taken on starched collars.
Where are they now? Trying to
land in British Columbia, trying to
stay in South Africa, and being
shooed away by collar wearers.
The Persians are on the run. The
Japanese, the likeliest people in
Asia, when they accepted western
civilization, accepted starched collars
with both hands. The American
negroes wear the tallest and stiffest
to be had. There is hope for them.
The starched collar is the palladium
of respectability. It is the token
of victory over self. Talk about
abolishing it is all bosh. Abolish
trousers if necessary; nations have
become great without them: but
stick to the collar and stick to the
starch.?Life.

Pope Passes Atfay. PZ
Rome. Aug. 20.?Pope Pius X died I
arly this morning at the Vatican,
he pontiff's death, which occurred
t 1:20 followed a short illness,
'hich was a culmination of his oft
apeated atacks of gouty catarrh,
hich developed into acute broncial
"ouble. The pontiff's illness was
irectly brought on by grief over the
utbreak of the European war, which
as been a sore blow to the aged
ope. t
Grief after the war in Europe
aused the pope much depression
-om the first outbreak, and several
ays ago symptoms appeared of the
Id bronchial affection from which
le pontiff had suffered in times past.
On Tuesday Dr. Marchiafava enounced
that the pope was suffering
rom simple cold and that possibly
omplete rest for a week would retore
him to his usual health. The
ronchial condition spread, however,
nd on Wednesday it was announced
liat the pope's condition was serious.,
4 bulletin issued at 3 o'clock Wed-|
esday afternobn,'signed by Drs.
larchiafava and Amici. gave the fol>wing
explanation:
"The pope's condition grew worse
uring the night. This was due to the
iffusion of the bronchitis to the low-1
r lobe of the left lung. Symptoms of I
eart weakness became so threaten-j
ig at 10:30 o'clock this morning j
tiat it was believed the pontiff's life ;
as endangered. At 1:30 p. m. the j
vmptoms were slightly improved,
ut still grave."
Dr. Marchiafava was able to leave L
lie Vatican for a time, owing to the ?
melioration of symptoms. He said
liat nothing early in the morning
ad indicated the grave crisis which
ad come on rapidly. Shortly after
>r. .Marchiafava left Dr. Amici exmined
the patient. He explained
!iat the sudden collapse was due to
lie pontiff's age and the gouty afsction,
which always combine to give
ronchial catarrh of an acute nature
most serious character.
