Four applicants stood the examination last Friday for*the vacant Citadel scholarship. They were: Messrs. W. Califf, of Denmark; J. W. Simmons, of Bamberg; Richard Roberts, of Ehrhardt; Perry Lee McMillan, of v Bamberg, R. F. D. 2. The examination was held by Prof. E. P. Allen > at the graded school. . Bamberg defeated the Blackviile team on the home grounds, last Friday, the score being 11 to 4. The game was void of features, as Bamberg had the visitors completely outclassed. The locals hi? the ball hard and the errors were numerous for the visitors. Batteries: Blackville,v Barclay and Boyleston; Bamberg, Ttentz, L., and Cooner. It is not very likely that the home tehm will play any more games this season, and this game winds up a very successful season for the home boys. Appreciates Good Service. In speaking of the postoffice yesterday, a prominent citizen of the town complimented the office very highl^ upon its rapid growth and its ?i- excellent management. He stated ') that he had noted the advance the ' y postoffice has made within the past three or four years, and said that the postoffice had gone way ahead of everything else in the town, and he attributed this growth to the good service that has been given in the office under the present administration. Incidentally it may be stated that this gentleman is one of the leading patrons of the postoffice and is in a position ?to know whether or not good service is given.

Only a small number of men and women were present at the cooking demonstration and farmers' meeting at th? court house lasit Thursday, and those who did not attend missed quite a treat. Mrs. Faust, the county domestic science demonstrator, was present, as was also Miss Ray, the Barnwell demonstrator. These ladies conducted a very instructive cooking and canning demonstration. Tluey had a canning outfit with them, and demonstrated the proper methods of canning fruits and vegetables. Messrs. W. R. Elliott, the district farm agent, of Winnsboro, and H. G. Boyleston, the Barnwell demonstrator, of Blackville, made instructive talks to the few persons present. Mr. Heard states that another meeting will be held some time next month, at which time several speakers of State-wide prominence will be invited to be present and make addresses. A Letter From the Border. Private W. E. Hultto, a former member of the staff of The Herald who is now serving with Company M on the Mexican border, writes as follows:. "We all made the trip fine. We arrived here Saturday night about sight o'clock, and we were very tired. We had to work pretty hard Sunday to get straight, but everything is straightened jout now. We had to go on guard duty the first night we were here. I was one of the first to go on. You can bet I kept my eyes :>pcn, too. "We are about two and one-half miles from ithe river.

Anthracnose in County. ^ County Farm Demonstrator J. J. Heard stated Monday that he had received information from different parts of the county as to the presence of anthracnose. As the people generally are not fully informed as to this cotton disease, he stated for the information of the farmers* that it first appears as a small brown speck on the cotton boll. This speck grows until the boll finally rots and falls from the stalk. The only remedy, said Mr. Heard, Jhat is known at this time is the planting of seed that is at least three years old. By planting old seed, the disease will not bother notton. Anthraonose is a germ disease, and the germs do not live through the third year in cotton seed. It is suggested that every farmer who is troubled with the disease this year had betiter adopt the plan of planting old seed, as this is the only way to combat this enemy. t Cotton Opening Fast. Cotton is reported to be opening C very fast. The very hot weather of the past few weeks has forced the mature bolls open, and many farmers are now busy with their harvest- c ing. Many of the gins of the county ^ have already started up business, t and considerable cotton is now being c placed upon the market. The pres- i ent excellent price for the staple is i causing the majority of farmers to 1 sell their staple as fast as it is gin- r ned out. It is the prevailing opinion e that as long as cotton fetches 13 t cents or more per pound when first ( picked out, it is always safe to sell; l although it is predicted that there I will be a general holding movement i among the farmers later in the sea- 2 son. It is hard to say just what the t condition of the cotton crop is, as 1 there is a wide difference of opinion c among the planters. The old cotton is generally reported to be very good, 1 and it seems difficult to say just c what the young cotton will do yet. s The acreage in Bamberg county is about equally divided between young ( and old cotton. 2 ? 1 t Picnic and Barbecue Today.

Sparks Predicts Manning and Blease Will Conduct Second Campaign. Columbia, Aug. 19.?Ten days before the primary election in South Carolina there is every indication tftat tnere win De a second race oetween Richard I. Manning, incumbent, and C. L. Blease, former governor of the State. This prediction made two weeks ago caused a storm of protest on the part of the press of the State supporting Robert A. Cooper. However, every fact connected with the situation would indicate that the present governor will fight it out in a second primary. It has been the custom in South Carolina to grant governors two terms. No man has ever been elected governor a third term, and -this fact will lose many votes to Mr. Blease, who it must be said has been conducting his campaign this year on a much different basis as compared with previous efforts. Mr. Manning has been standing squarely on his record and has not assailed any of his opponents in bitter language. The governor firmly believes that the people of -the State will not repudiate his programme of progressive, legislation. He will go into the election with all of the facts known by the people and will depend on their good judgment. Robert A. Cooper, of Laurens, is a clean and good man. One of his ardent admirers said not long ago: "Bob Cooper is as clean as a hound's tooth." His admirer was right. TT il X -3 ~ iUnl nuwever, mat uucs nut mean mai Mr. Cooper will be in the second race for governor. It means that he may \ be the choice of the people at some date not far distant. Manning vs. Blease. As the election time draws nearer the people in all sectidns of the State are beginning to realize that Manning is the man to defeat Bleaseism in South Carolina. No matter what some may say, Blease is still an issue in South Carolina politics. He will always be more or less an issue. Or rather his record as the chief executive of the State will always be an issue. During the past week at least two candidates have declared against the policies of government as expounded by Mr. Blease. One of those men was Mr. Cooper. Practically every fair-minded man | in South Carolina will agree that Mr. i Manning has made a good governor. His record is open to the world'. Nothing has been concealed. There has been no secret alignments between the governor and-corporations. In fact, a great majority of the bankers of the State are fightipg Mr. Manning simply because he is frying to apply a just and equitable tax law to: the banking institutions." The governor refused to apply bayonet rule to the cotton mill people during strikes in the Piedmont section, and* this brought wrath onjthe head of Mr. Manning. These same corporation people, it might be added, are among the most'ardent supporters of Mr. Cooper. Manning and Labor. Governor Manning has given much of his time and attention to laws that will benefit the great mass of mill workers in South Carolina. He urged the passage and approved the weekly pay act. Again the wrath of cotton mill presidents was brought down on him. He approved the antidocking law, and again played into disfavor with the corporations. During Governor Manning's administration a law has been passed to prevent negroes from working in textile plants with white people. The most serious charge that has been brought against Governed Manning is that he is a "lawless gov-ernor." Every one acquainted with State politics knows that he was fleeted on a law enforcement platform in 1914. He promised to clean up Charleston and has made good in his efforts. No one section has been left untouched by the governor's campaign for law observance. He sent; men to Greenville and in cooperation with the local authorities put a crimp in violators of the law in that city. Will Cnrrv Phaplftston. Despite the campaign for law enforcement Gov. Manning will carry Charleston county. Taking Charleston into consideration and compared with other sections of the State only the sun spots have been shown. There are more law-abiding citizens in the city by the sea than violators. The violators are known, while the law-abiding citizens go quietly about, their progress. There has been much talk about the State Hospital for the Insane. This institution should be near and dear to the hearts of the people ol South Carolina. No class of citizenship is exempt from the ravages of insanity. Gov. Manning entered office firmly determined to place the South Carolina hospital for the insane on an equal footing with other States. He determined, regardless of political consequences to do every-! thing within the power of science to j relieve the suffering of the State's j The Denmark Meeting. The county candidates addressed a large audience at Denmark Tuesday. The meeting was characterized by the presence of an unusually large numbers of ladies. A careful and respectful hearing was given all candidates. After the speaking a barbecue dinner was served on the grounds. The meeting was held under the Southern railway cotton shed. Olar a Growing Place. The town of Olar is fast rebuilding after the fire of a few months ago which wiped away many of the buildings in the business part of town. Ular is a tnriving place, ana g a great volume of business is transacted there. The town has several stores that compare very favorably ( with the stores of the large cities. Olar is situated fourteen miles from Bamberg, on the S. A. L. railway, and the people of the town feel that it has a great future ahead of it. The town is surrounded by a fine farming country. Time for Haste. A little 5-year-old McCordsville ( miss has a stepfather of whom she is very fond. One day the stepfather suffered from a violent headache, and his wife went to the kitchen to prepare some domestic remedy. Lillian waited quietly for some time for her mother to return and relieve the sufferer. Losing patience, she went " ? to the kitchen door and energetically called out: "Mama, if you don't hurry up f* you're going to have another husband to bury." unfortunate wards. He went about the big job in a business-like manner and results have been secured. Jk Information secured from the rec-' ords of the asylum show that the death rate has been reduced about 40 ner cent. vThis means that where 100 persons died^a one month under the old regime only 60 are now dying. The death rate will be further reduced when the governor's programme has been carried out. If Gov. Manning should be kicked out of the governor's office and repudiat- , ed by the people, the chances are that the development work at the asylum would be stopped, but he has built a monument by the work already done. Despite this record for the care and protection of less fortunate humanity some of the opponents of the governor have hopped on to the asylum record and would have him damned. The people of the State are beginning to understand the wonderful work at the asylum and the prediction is made , that it will gain him votes rather than lose them. Outlook for Second Race. A great many of the supporters of Mr. Cooper will go to Gov. Man ning in a "second race with Mr. Blease. Mr. Cooper has already won a great many Blease supporters, especially in the Piedmont section of the State. The present campaign has been comparatively mild. There has been very few bitter passages of words. V Mr. Blease has been severe in his charges against the Manning administration. One of the most serious charges is that the administration has been lawless. This is a very ^ thin charge and even the supporters i of Mr. Blease smile when they hear it. The blind tigers of the State t know full well that Mr. Manning's -r? administration has not been lawless. They to a man will vote against him. The election will be held August 29 and , again the prediction is reiterated that Mr. Manning and Mr. Blease will be the leaders.?Joe Sparks in the Spartanburg Herald. V "Take out my cow ad.
