"r Verily, politics plays some queer tricks. In the race for congressman in the fourth district, the Spartan- co V.' burg Herald supported Sam N'icholls very warmly, while the Spartanburg Journal equally as ardently spoused B. A. .Morgan. Both papers are pub- i lished in the same office, and are, pre- i " sumably, owned by the same com- | pany, though under different editorial management. \ Bamberg is entitled to the first % prize in the contest to decide the >?/\ttact nlapo in Smith ftnrnlina The heat has been so intense down there that popcorn has popped on the ears in the field.?Edgefield Advertiser., Nay, nay, kind frienc^ With a palmetto fan, aided and "abetted by a . p jug of ice cold Glendale mineral water, we'll wager we can keep our temper as cool as ye Edgefieldian.

Our friend can hardly mean * that the Georgia tour, can boast of ? such an officer as is referred to. { The percentage of the cotton crop in this county this year varies, it seercs, according to the person mak- . ing the estimate. One farmer who ought to know says that the crop is not more than 40 to 50 per cent of a full crop, considering both acreagb ~~ and condition of the crop at this C kVi time. Another, who should be equal- . ly as good an authority, says it is ^ about 75 per cent. And there you _ are. This may bring up the interest- I ing question of the accuracy of the J| government reports on crop conditions. Are these estimates mad ac- ? cording to popular belief, or by ex- ' perts who really know the condition when they view it? We are not taking "sides" with anybody in this war. but those who are so red hot about England's action in declaring cotton contraband, may as well read the following from the Jf' Progressive Fanner and ponder over what the result would be if this country were at war with England: The German and Austrian cotton factories have 16.300.1000 spindles and Turkey has none. The factories ? Great Britain. France. Italy, Rusa and Japan (allies in this wart ive 79..>25.000 spindles, of which 6,000.000 are British. It follows lat. were the Germans in control f the seas, they could and doubtless ould confine the market for Anieritn cotton to about one-fifth of the )indles that it is confined to by the Hies. However oppressive, thereire. British interference with Anieriin exportation of cotton may be. is clear that the South is fortune in that the interference is not r the Germans and Austrians. Why do not the farmers in this runty try raising tobacco? We un* erstand some tobacco was raised ere many years ago more or less tccessfully. but that the movement i get a tobacco crop started died a atural death. Some farmers around ranchville have planted this yeat. may be with some experimenting >bacco could be made to pay here, is certainly a mighty nice crop to ake. where it can be raised with rofit. The tobacco selling season pens about the first part of July, ght when the farmers here are in le midst of their hardest period, he main objection probably is, even >uld a good crop be made hereaouts, the difficulty that would be cperienced in marketihg the crop, ut if the tobacco is made, the buy's will come. If public sentiment favors prohibion, there will be no reason why rohibition cannot be enforced if it carried in the election .on Septem?r 14th. With the gallon-a-month w in force, and with Governor anning at the head of the adminisation to back any movement lookg to prohibition enforcement, there lould be no reason why there will ; a reversion in Bamberg to the contions that prevailed here when this >unty was dry. If the State votes y, let's have the law enforced. Let ie people of the city and county be linking upon this matter, and relive that if the State goes dry, the w will not be a nullity in this city. If we would print all the "press ireau" stuff we have received for is issue, we would have one of the yest papers ever, and our readers ould be very much dissatisfied, hat is "press bureau" stuff? Ornarily it is like this: Some socie, organization or the like desires interest the public in some propotion in which it is interested, and prepares little boom stories, some taint and modest, some loud and mmon, and sends identical copies it for publication. Some of the edirs use the stuff because they think is good: some use it because they e afraid not to. and some use h cause they don't know any better, e rarely use anything of the kind, Kooo nco tva Hn nnt rrm IV, OV aiUVU Utvuuut ? v V*v ?wv vw.. ier any of it good; but rather beuse we feel that if anybody wants use the Enquirer for promotion irposes, we think it more becoming at they go after our readers rough our advertising columns in e good old honest way.
