Po Thursday, Sept. 3, 1914. ============ th: Cheer up. the war situation is not | ? so bad after all. It could be a great | 1 deal worse at least. U A fire-eating political paper called the "True Democrat," published in It Columbia during the campaign bore the name of R. H. Greneker as editor. It seems hardly possible that this mu'lri be the DoDular Dick Greneker, whose bright locals adorn the New- th< berrv Herald and News. Pa ^ je< thi Bamberg county gave Senator j ca] Smith a magnificent vote Tuesday, be In 1912\the governor received 57n to votes: in 1914 the governor received I mJ i ar< 372 votes. Thus it will be seen that | th( 203 of the governor's supporters in J this county voted against him this; thi year. In the redemption of South : Carolina Bamberg has done her part, j th( Professor John G. Clinkscales re- NY ceived a most complimentary vote, polling more than 20,000. Mr. Clinkscales staked his race entirely on dr, compulsory education. It seems en- sta tirely possible that under ordinary ers , conditions compulsory education ^ would have won by a large majority Zei in this election, as a large number sui did not vote for Mr. Clinkacales b?- ne ter cause they did not believe him to be ^ the strongest man in the second pri- an( mary on the anti-Blease side. les ed So far as we have been able tp on F6( see there has been no disposition on caj the part of the opponents of the pres- Sw ent administration to "crow" over its the victory. Of course the anti- s0<; Bleaseites feel jubilant over their coj victory. The election seems to us vis to have been entirely free from su< fraud, and very few irregularities have been reported: and the defeat Ho of Bleaseism was overwhelming. We gre respect the opinions of those who do Dr Y not think as we do and have not the least ill feeling against them. So we ^ei may as well get together now and ? work for the good of the State. "It is passing strange that some ] newspapers in South Carolina should by bawl compulsory education until of they become red in the face and when as the opportunity presents itself to for support a man on that platform they kn' are as quiet as a church mouse.? hoi Gaffney Ledger. en We think our contemporary has the Cl? situation sized up wrong. Everybody ^ knows Prof. CUnkscales, who is re- op< ferred to in the above editorial, to 10 be a man of character and purpose, ?P( t w< but this was a time when personaal gt choice had to be laid aside We faced a crisis. We had to meet it. There were six good men running on the anti-Blease ticket. The people had to vote for a man who would be strongest in the second primary. The fact that compulsory education received 20,000 votes shows conclusively that the issue will be clearly ty: defined in future primaries. wa ?l When there were six good men m? oil running for governor on the anti- th( Blease ticket. The Bamberg Herald pr, was not disposed to champion the eff cause for any of them. Now that P? there is but one anti-Blease candi date, we give Hon. Richard I. Man ning our unalloyed support. He is i a good man. one who is well fitted Djj to guide the ship of State through a successful term as governor. It \;c would be a great misfortune now if ba the friends of Manning, who is un- ad questionably the choice of the major- ~~~ ity of voters in South Carolina, should fail to go to the polls and vote for him?thereby allowing the ^ election of Richards to go by default. f0i Manning is elected if the people will pr but go to the polls. Apathy is a foe nQ of good government, and we hope the sin of omission will not have to be charged up to the Democrats ad of South Carolina next Tuesday. "And you can't help yourself." No. r. Ed Smith did not say that, but ere are some men in the second imarv who sanction the man who d say it. We would appreciate it, and so ould many people of Bamberg. *esicially the ladies, if city council ould keep the crowd of loafing igroes away from the passenger ation at train time. On Sunday afrnoons especially there is always crowd of negroes at the station, id they crowd around the train so at it is very inconvenient to get i and off. If council will keep peoe away from the trains who have > business there, especially up in e narrow space between the station id tracks they will be heartily anked we feel sure.

An examining physician for one of 3 prominent Life Insurance Cotnnies, in an interview on the svb?t. made the astonishing statement it one reason why so many applints for insurance are rejected is cause kidney trouble is so common the American people, and the large ijoritv of those whose applications 3 declined do not even suspect that jy have the disease. According to this it would seem it a medicine for the kidneys, posssing real healing and curative Dperites, would be a blessing to >usands. Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghampton, f.,who prepare Dr.Kilmer's Swamp ot, the well known kidney, liver d bladder remedy, claim that judg; from evidence received from uggists everywhere, who are cohintly in touch with their custom!, and also indisputable proof in i form of grateful testimonial let's from thousands of reliable citiis, this preparation is remarkably ccessful in sickness caused by kidy and bladder troubles. Every inesting statement they receive rerding Swamp-Root is investigated d no testimonial is published uns the party who sends it is reportof good character. They have file many sworn statements of joveries in the most distressing les. They state that Dr. Kilmer's amp-Root is mild and gentle in action and its healing influence is >n noticed in most cases. Swamp-Root is purely an herbal npound and Dr. Kilmer & Co. ade all readers who feel in need of :n a remedy ro give 11 a inm. it on sale at all drug stores in bots of two sizes?50c. and $1.00. wever, if you wish first to test this ;at preparation send ten cents to .

To the Democrats of Bamberg County:?I desire to express to you my sincere thanks for the handsome vote you gave me on Aug. 25th, and to assure you of my deep appreciation. I would ask that each and every one nf mv friends eo to the Dolls on Sept. 8th and help by their ballot to insure an administration of good government. adv. RICHARD I. MANNING. A CARD. I desire to express to the voters of Bamberg Cour.ty my gratitude fox the support given me in my race foi the house. After a hard fight I air [ in a second race, and while I would [ like to see every voter between now and the second primary, I realize that it will be impossible as my time is limited. Therefore I take this method of reaching the voters. It has just come to me that a report is in circulation that I not onlj voted for Blease and Fortner, bul that I openly worked for them. 1 want to say just here that the report is untrue in its entirety for I voted for neither one of them. It is evidenl that 6ome one without regard foi facts is trying to injure me in everj possible way. I am informed that there will bs Ken sent out to some of the poils on election day from Bamberg tc fight me. Outside of the above 1 do not know where they aim tc si:rike, but let me say to my friends to beware of this eleventh hour fighl and reports. I would not write thfc but for .the fact that I am chargec with working for candidates that ] never supported, and I deem that the people should know the falsity of thf statement. After my experience in the legisla ture, I feel that I can render yoi more and better service and will ah ways be found working for the besi interests of county and State, and?foi law and order and good government This is a crisis in our affairs of Stat? and we need men of cool judgment I have nothing to say in regard t( the county campaign just ended, ex cept that I regret exceedingly mud :he turn it took. It was against mj express wish and desire and I triec to avoid all friction. And I want tc say, let the past be buried and forgot ten and as to me it is ended, ?adv. B. W. MILEY.

DEMOCRATS OF SOUTH I CAROLINA: J /l|3|j It is your duty to go to the polls on September I the 8th and vote in the second primary. So far only a partial victory has been gained. The election of a governor is the people's fight; he is in the State all the time; he can be reached by the humblest man; he is the governor, but the servant of every man in the State. Mr. Ma nning will be elected governor if the people go to the polls and - _ vote on September 8. There will be many eleventh hour falsehoods spread and from past experience the voters of this State should know that these below-the-belt ought not be believed. Make up your mind now to vote for good government. There will be attempts to cloud the issue but the people cannot be fooled. DONT STOP WORKING FOR LAW AND ORDER AND GOOD GOVERNMENT UNTIL THE LAST VOTE IS COUNTED. The fanners of the State are going to stand to Mr. Manning, a farmer Himself, wno Knows tne A. B. C. of farm conditions and who has been fore- i most in bettering rural conditions. Ee is working now to help in the fight to relieve the cotton situa- I tion and he has already done much to help the 9 planters of his State at other times. 9 v nj
